ABOUT JULIANA
I’m Juliana Bernardes, a Registered Nutritional Therapist and Naturopath with over 12 years in clinical practice and over a decade of teaching and supervision in nutritional therapy. My work is grounded in the functional medicine model and guided by a commitment to evidence-based practice.
Over the years, I’ve worked with a broad range of health concerns, but today my clinical focus is gut health. Having personally experienced the challenges of persistent SIBO, I know first-hand how complex gut health conditions can feel. This lived experience deepens my commitment to helping clients navigate the uncertainty and frustration that often come with these issues, combining compassion with clear, evidence-based strategies.
From SIBO and reflux to IBS and complex microbiome imbalances, I help clients uncover the root drivers of their symptoms and build strategies that create lasting change. My approach is detailed, investigative, and always centred on the individual.
Alongside my practice, I’m dedicated to mentoring the next generation of nutrition professionals.
Having lectured and supervised at leading UK colleges for over ten years, I now guide both students and practitioners through the practical realities of case interpretation, functional testing, and protocol design. My goal is to bridge the gap between theory and clinical confidence, offering support that’s both evidence-led and rooted in real-world experience.
I hold an MSc in Personalised Nutrition from Middlesex University, a Nutritional Therapy Practice Diploma from CNELM, and a BSc (Hons) in Naturopathy from the University of Westminster. I’m a member of BANT and registered with the CNHC. I have also undertaken specialist training in SIBO, which allows me to apply the latest evidence and clinical insights in this area.
Fluent in English and Portuguese, and with professional working proficiency in Spanish, I support clients and students internationally through online consultations, mentoring, and group supervision.
MANIFESTO
I believe in simplicity.
Health is our body’s natural state, and supporting it doesn’t have to be complicated. My goal is to help you build lasting wellness through personalised approaches that fit your reality and feel achievable day to day. Together we can identify your needs, set priorities, and define the steps towards better health.
I believe in individuality.
No single diet or lifestyle works for everyone. Functional medicine and nutrition recognise the importance of context — symptoms, history, and underlying mechanisms. Through thorough assessment and, when appropriate, advanced lab testing, I create tailored plans that restore balance and support long-term health.
I believe in science.
In a world full of conflicting health messages, clarity matters. I draw on the best available research and translate it into clear, practical guidance — turning evidence into solutions that can be understood, applied, and trusted.
