About Dr Rebecca Hiscutt, PhD


I'm Dr Rebecca Hiscutt, PhD, a UK registered dietitian with over 20 years experience helping people to optimise their mental and physical health through nutrition and lifestyle strategies.

I have a specialist interest in mental health and am launching a new service to support young people who are experiencing symptoms of anxiety.

Anxiety in children and teens is increasingly common and can deeply affect both the young person and their family. It can be difficult to access professional support, but nutrition offers parents a proactive way to help..

Only 43% of 12-26 year olds consider themselves to be thriving. Approximately 30% of adolescents experience an anxiety-related disorder.*

Why Nutrition Matters

Nutrition plays a key role in brain function, mood regulation and stress management. Blood sugar imbalances, inflammation, nutrient deficiencies, and gut health issues all influence anxiety. Addressing these through tailored nutrition strategies can empower families to support their child mental health in a sustainable way.

Range of support options to suit different needs and budgets.

Important Information

Anxiety is a symptom of imbalance with a web of contributing factors. Nutrition and lifestyle interventions can address some of the root causes and physical imbalances associated with anxiety and complement other approaches like counselling or CBT. This service is designed to support families of young people with  mild to moderate anxiety and does not replace medical care.
