Karen Alexander-Baron — Nutritional Therapist (MSc, CNM)
Thyroid & Digestive Health Specialist
Karen is a Nutritional Therapist with a Master’s degree (MSc, distinction) in Personalised Nutrition and clinical training from CNM London. She combines scientific insight with a deeply compassionate, human approach — helping people understand their bodies, restore balance, and reconnect with their natural vitality.
Specialising in thyroid and digestive health, Karen looks at the whole picture: symptoms, history, stress load, lifestyle patterns and underlying biochemical factors. Her work is grounded in the belief that when you understand why your health has shifted, you are far more able to make meaningful, lasting change. Every plan she creates is fully personalised, empowering clients to feel clearer, stronger and more in control of their wellbeing.
Karen’s own journey informs everything she brings to her work. Diagnosed with an under-active thyroid at ten years old, she spent years navigating fatigue, anxiety, low mood and unresolved gut inflammation. It was only through the study of nutrition that she learned how to support her body back to health — giving her both empathy and experience that clients instantly feel.
At Upton Wellness, Karen offers monthly educational presentations designed to make nutritional science accessible, practical and deeply supportive. Each session blends clarity with compassion, leaving you with simple steps you can integrate into your everyday life.
Karen also provides one-to-one consultations in Buntingford, at Upton Wellness, and via video call for long-distance or international clients.
If you feel drawn to work together or would like more information, you are warmly invited to get in touch to arrange a personal consultation.
