Lisa Smith

Lisa is a co-founder of NEDDE Training – ‘Neurodiversity, Eating Disorders & Disordered Eating’ – alongside Bernie Wright. She is a Registered Nutritionist with the British Association For Nutrition And Lifestyle Medicine (BANT), and specialises in functional nutrition. Her focus is upon the presenting client and not any diagnosis or label they may have been given.

Lisa always believes in going beyond the basic dietary guidelines. Consideration is given to a client’s internal and external environment, their genetic predisposition and lifestyle, in order to identify factors which may be impacting upon physical or mental wellbeing.

Having worked with Bernie for over a decade, Lisa has a wealth of experience encompassing all eating behaviours, as well as an understanding of the influence neurodivergence can play in these.

Lisa is a senior lecturer at the renowned College of Naturopathic Medicine, and has also worked closely with a cognitive neuroscientist, studying and understanding the interaction between hormones & neurotransmitters and their influences over behaviour.
