About Pippa
Hello! My name is Pippa Groves, and I’m a registered Nutritional Therapist (DipION, mBANT, CNHC), corporate wellbeing provider, and wellness chef, passionate about making healthy living simple, joyful, and sustainable. I help individuals and organisations achieve their health and performance goals through evidence-based nutrition strategies and positive behaviour change.
With a specialist focus on digestive health and its ripple effects on energy, mood, immunity, and skin, I regularly supports clients with IBS, IBD, reflux, food intolerances, fatigue, recurrent infections, stress, and weight management. I also have a growing interest in sports & performance nutrition, helping active individuals fuel their training, boost recovery, and optimise resilience, both physically and mentally.
My mission is simple: To empower people to take back control of their health with clarity, confidence, and ease, so they can thrive in work, life, and sport.
I hold a postgraduate Distinction in Nutritional Therapy from the Institute for Optimum Nutrition and a BSc in Chemistry and Law from the University of Bristol, bringing a unique blend of scientific insight and practical thinking to my work. My approach combines personalised nutrition, functional testing, and ongoing coaching to equip clients with the tools and knowledge needed to make long-term improvements to their health and performance.
My story
My fascination with gut health began after I was diagnosed with Crohn’s Disease, triggered by a rare parasitic infection. The road to recovery was long (and by no means linear!) as I came to understand just how deeply disordered gut health affects the whole body.
Alongside the classic digestive symptoms of diarrhoea and abdominal pain, I faced extreme fatigue, weight loss, insomnia, joint swelling, and anxiety. I lost muscle, physical strength, and confidence in what I could eat, constantly worrying about making symptoms worse, fuelling inflammation, and damaging my gut further. As a real foodie, this was devastating!
But it also became the turning point. I soon discovered the powerful role that nutrition and lifestyle play in restoring not just gut health, but also strength, resilience, and performance. Step by step, I rebuilt my body and my confidence. Today, I feel stronger than ever - regularly taking part in triathlons, trail runs, half marathons, and weight training - proof that when you support your gut, your whole body and performance can thrive.
This journey inspired me to retrain as a Nutritional Therapist, graduating from the Institute for Optimum Nutrition in London with a Distinction and the award for most outstanding performance. I feel incredibly grateful to support others in transforming their health from a genuine place of empathy. I’ve been there. I know how it feels. Helping people feel heard, understood, and empowered to take back control of their health makes everything worth it.
For me, this isn’t about quick fixes or diet fads. It’s about prioritising our health every day through simple, sustainable habits, from the food we eat, to how we move, sleep, manage stress, and connect with others.
