Meet Becky McClenaghan,
Nutritional Therapist
We are delighted to offer a brand new nutritional health service at Connect Spinal Health.
Becky’s Story
I suffered from IBS from a young age but was not diagnosed until I was in my mid-20s. I tried the usual medication provided by my GP and tried avoiding certain foods which helped a little but not always, leaving me confused and frustrated. Once I found out that IBS could be caused and driven by anxiety it all started to make sense. Then my interest was sparked in how the gut is affected by different things.
Fulfilling a Dream
I found out about the College of Naturopathic Medicine’s (CNM) diploma course a few years before taking the plunge. It was after my dad passed away from cancer that I decided I wanted to get into naturopathic healthcare and learn more about food science. I chose CNM as they had the most clinic hours which I liked as I wanted to get out there and learn how to help people. The three-year diploma was intense as I was juggling a full-time job in consultancy. I studied in my lunch breaks and the evenings as I absolutely loved it! The first year was pure biomedicine (thankfully I had a science degree), then the second and third years focused on the nutritional qualities of food and how these can help with pathologies (conditions).
I qualified in 2017, what a good summer that was! Spending three years studying nutrition was the best decision I have ever made. I absolutely love working with my clients to uncover the cause of their issues and get them started on their journey to better health and well-being.

I have benefited in ways I never thought I could. I now don’t have any bloating, my swollen glands for 9 years aren’t swollen, my energy levels are so much better and so much more. I definitely recommend Becky for anyone needing help with nutrition.”
Lucie, Stirling
I am very glad that I contacted Becky. Firstly, she is friendly and supportive, and you feel that she is really committed to finding a solution. She adopts a holistic approach to nutrition, health and well-being, focusing on the underlying cause as much as the immediate problem. Thanks to her, I am sleeping much better and have made real progress with my skin problems. Becky is someone you would want in your corner, with her expertise and natural empathy.”
