For over 15 years Emma Maitland-Carew has run a busy nutritional therapy clinic in Oxfordshire, where she uses live blood analysis to provide real-time health information to her in-person clients.

Emma takes us through what live blood analysis is, how it’s done in clinic, and how it can be used to shed light on a whole variety of health issues, including one’s nutrient status, the health of the gut microbiome, toxic load, and immunity.

Emma Maitland-Carew is the person who very first introduced me to nutrition and lifestyle medicine: I consulted her when facing insomnia, fatigue, and various other horrible things. And Emma was the first health professional I ever met who seemed to care about dealing with the causes of illness, not just plastering over its effects. In fact, my inspirational experience as her client is the primary reason I left my work in history academia, and re-trained as a nutritionist myself - a journey which she very generously encouraged. So, as you may imagine, Emma is my most highly-treasured guest.

Before working in nutrition, Emma was Head Chef for the Penny Brohn Cancer Care Centre, the UK’s leading Cancer Charity. Having trained in nutrition and lifestyle medicine at The Institute for Optimum Nutrition in London and the University of Bedfordshire, Emma also qualifed as a Wellbeing Coach with the Chrysalis Effect, a coach in Metabolic Balance, and a coach in the stress resilience techniques of HeartMath. Emma’s work in Live and Dried Blood Analysis is certified by The Complementary Medical Association. She currently sees clients in-person and online from her clinic in Oxfordshire.
