Moya Layton BSc (Hons) Nutritional Therapy MBANT

Moya Layton initially graduated as a teacher of French and English from the University of Manchester.  She is a qualified NLP Practitioner and has a BSc in Nutritional Therapy from the University of Westminster, London. She is married to actor and writer George Layton.

Having suffered personal experience of IBS (irritable bowel syndrome) Moya gained a unique understanding of this debilitating condition, which prompted her to study nutrition.

IBS represents a complex interplay between mind and body and Moya has a particular interest in this mind/gut connection. 

Moya is also interested in the natural approach for the treatment of depression (which can also feature in IBS) and her final year dissertation was on the use of the supplement 5HTP (5 hydroxytryptophan) in the treatment of depression.

Whilst there is no magic herb, drug, vitamin or mineral that can cure IBS, an individualized approach which addresses nutrition, lifestyle and stress management can offer significant improvements and relief from this disabling and frustrating disorder that impinges on so many lives.

Moya runs her specialist IBS Clinic at the Victoria branch of National Nutrition Clinic every Wednesday between 11:00am and 7:00pm.
