As a Clinical Nutritionist and Mediterranean Diet advocate, Michelle Mercer sees “Food as medicine” and is specialised in pain. She has a keen passion for helping and educating others on the profound impact nutrients in food can have on both acute and chronic pain. “Most standard medical practices tend to treat pain with pharmaceutical drugs which can often lead to other complications and health issues. By addressing the cause of the pain as well as the symptoms, nutritional treatment will provide long term relief and not just mask it by use of prescription medications.”
