Dr Rebecca Healey
Lifestyle Medicine Practitioner in Cheshire, UK
I'm a medically trained lifestyle medicine practitioner with a background that blends conventional medicine, nutrition science, and functional medicine. My work is rooted in helping people understand their bodies, reclaim their well-being, and make changes that improve their lives.
I am based in Cheshire but support clients across the UK via online consultations. I predominantly work with clients alongside GP or specialist management, supporting health and wellbeing as part of a multidisciplinary approach.
How can we help you?
Conditions supported at RJH Health & Wellbeing include:
- Gut & microbiome health
- Hormonal health
- Fertility, pregnancy and postpartum nutrition
- Chronic fatigue
- Cardiometabolic health
- Weight management
Clients arriving at the clinic have often tried conventional routes without achieving restoration of wellness. That’s where a complementary approach can make all the difference. In this context, complementary means 'in addition to', not 'instead of' conventional medical treatment.
- Evidence based nutrition & lifestle support
- Online consultations throughout the UK
Together, we work towards meaningful, lasting improvements in health and wellbeing. We offer a range of wellness programmes as well as bespoke one-to-one consultations, all designed to support your unique health journey.
Medical foundations
Dr Healey completed her MBBS (Hons) at Hull York Medical School and spent five years working across NHS specialities, gaining a deep understanding of how chronic conditions develop and how often people are left without the time, support, and personalised guidance they need to fully recover.
Alongside lifestyle medicine, she now predominantly works in occupational medicine, supporting employees and employers in navigating medical issues that affect health and wellbeing in the workplace. Because stress, workload, and workplace pressures often play a major role in health, this experience allows her to support lifestyle medicine clients in a more holistic and practical way, acknowledging the realities of everyday working life.
Why nutrition is key
Nutrition is one of the most powerful tools for health, yet often the most misunderstood. Dr Healey is an AFN registered nutritionist and BANT registered nutritional therapist, with a master's degree in human nutrition. She also trained with Monash University in the use of low FODMAP diets for IBS, giving her further specialist knowledge in the application of this tool for clients with related digestive symptoms.
A functional, whole person approach
To better understand the root causes of symptoms, rather than simply managing them, Dr Healey trained with the Institute for Functional Medicine (IFM). This allowed her to integrate medical science with lifestyle, nutrition, and application of personalised health strategies.
When I began my medical career as an NHS resident doctor, time and again I saw patients whose chronic illnesses had roots in lifestyle and nutrition. While conventional medicine is vital, especially in acute situations and emergencies, I found it often served as a stopgap for deeper, preventable issues.
Today, I combine my clinical background with cutting-edge nutritional and functional medicine insights to help people not just recover, but truly thrive. I’ve seen first-hand how lifestyle medicine can restore energy, enhance resilience, and improve quality of life.
