Testimonials

Don’t miss an opportunity for either a consultation with Tom Sokolowski or to be treated by him.

Back in Spring 2019 I was suffering from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome which I had been experiencing since Autumn 2018. I was totally exhausted all the time and didn’t even have the energy to wash my hair. Watching TV or trying to read a book overwhelmed me and I had difficulty thinking clearly; even listening to music was too much for me to cope with. I slept most of the time.

After much research and reading many books, I can confidentally recommend the best remedies as Dr Sarah Myhill’s book ‘Diagnosis & Treatment of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome & Myalgic Encephalitis’ in conjunction with Tom Sokolowski’s nutritional therapy consultations which I started in August 2021. I was very sceptical about how Tom might help me so I researched his background. I discovered that before he studied and qualified as a Nutritional Therapist and Functional Medicine Practitioner (in 2015}, that he had graduated from Cambridge University with a Master’s Degree though in a different speciality. There is an entry in ‘FindaTherapy.org’ which is very illuminating.

Tom’s website and emails are clear and all-encompassing, whilst demonstrating his mastery of efficient digital communication. Tom is caring, kind, considerate and totally non- judgmental. His knowledge and understanding of how the body works, or doesn’t work as it’s designed to, is phenomenal, including the interaction of different supplements and hormones. He researches the internet continually and has many years of practical experience with hundreds of patients.

From personal experience I only accept nutritional advice from Tom, despite other cost-free options being available, as his advice is up-to-date and accurate. Tom’s guidance and encouragement have made a huge positive impact on me and I’m confident that he will get me back to full health again.

I unreservedly recommend Tom Sokolowski and his ability to improve your health if you follow his guidance.

I had been ill for many years and spent countless hours researching and I saw many doctors, only to be given a diagnosis of fibromyalgia with no possibility of a cure. I had a very poor quality of life, couldn’t work and was depressed.

After discussing my symptoms with Tom he had an idea of what was wrong with me and lab testing confirmed a nutritional deficiency. Within a month of supplementation I had my life back!

I would never have thought of this approach myself as this was something that could not be fixed by the usual approaches I had come across in my research. I am immensely grateful to Tom for turning my life around. Without his input I would have kept on deteriorating.

I was experiencing tiredness, anxiety, bowel issues and artritis, more so following my menopause.

A regime of supplements and change of diet and a variety of tests have helped me understand my body more thoroughly..

It has been difficult to stick to the changes. I’ve now come to a balance of what my body needs and what I want..It feels good..

Tom is passionate about his work.. I can strongly recommend working with him to explore how to really improve your health.

 

I was searching for a clinical, research based approach to my diet and my specific issues which included chronic bacterial and viral infections. Tom provided just that. His depth of knowledge is extensive, his evidence and his evidence based interventions are tailored very specifically to your particular issue. I want to thank Tom for all his help. I can’t emphasise enough how much I’ve learnt and how working with Tom has radically changed not only my diet but my health and mindset for the better, permanently. If you are willing to commit to his plans then I am confident you will see results for the better as I did. An increase in energy, a decrease in fatigue and longer periods of feeling well with a decrease in flare ups.

I decided to contact Tom following an internet search for a local Nutritional Therapist. Tom was very friendly and took a detailed history of my symptoms, diet and lifestyle factors. He helped me to formulate an idea as to some of the causes of my gastrointestinal problems. We then discussed possible changes to my diet and decided on a course of action. It was great to have access to Tom’s extensive knowledge and experience as a practitioner. This helped me to stay focused  and not be swayed by reading extensive and opposing articles from the internet!

Although my health and fitness were good I decided to consult with Tom in order to balance my supplements and diet in a more informed way with the aim of protecting my general health and wellbeing. In particular I was interested in supporting/protecting my brain health and improving my focus and concentration; reducing any unhealthy stress; healing a longterm peeling skin condition on my palms. We have also focused on balancing my blood sugar levels preventing insulin resistance. I was keen to to make the commitment to work with Tom and found his guidance very encouraging but also appreciated his respectful attitude to any suggestions I did not want to adopt. In fact he always found another route which I was more comfortable with adopting. The main obstacle for me was changing my breakfast diet. However I have adapted well now and began to more quickly than I first imagined. My health has benefited and in addition I am more adventurous with experimenting with my diet and have discovered that I am becoming increasingly willing to make significant changes. I liked the personalised and calm personal approach of Tom’s work. Spending quality time with Tom is beneficial in itself. I appreciated Tom’s honesty about his knowledge and the extent of current scientific thinking and his obvious interest in his work. The top four benefits are reduced brain fog, a relaxed solar plexus, increased confidence in the relevance of my supplement choices and healthier skin on my hands.

I was pleased to find you after years of looking for the right kind of advice. I liked your thorough and scientific approach to looking at my nutritional difficulties WITH me and your unpatronising manner. You listened very carefully, were respectful, gave careful thought and then gave me sensible dietary advice, which I am still following some years later. Your advice accorded with advice I subsequently received when I was diagnosed with lipoedema, possibly linked to a connective tissue disorder. Many people with the same condition have similar symptoms to mine and had found a similar dietary regime helpful. I would recommend you to anyone.

When I first saw Tom I felt I was experiencing a myriad of symptoms including exhaustion, brain fog and headaches, gall bladder and digestive pain. Eating protein and fats gave me a lot of digestive pain and for over a year I had struggled to get the nutrition I knew I needed. The resulting brain fog, headaches and exhaustion made functioning and work very difficult and stressful.

I found the abundance of information and supplements available online overwhelming. I’d tried many things which hadn’t worked and didn’t know which way to turn. I was nervous about going to see Tom and felt ashamed of my health difficulties and my eating. He is kind and non-judgmental which helped me to feel more at ease and able to share with him what I was finding so difficult.

He worked with me to design a plan for eating which felt not only realistic but enjoyable for me. He took much time and care to ensure the recommendations he made felt possible and staged changes such that I felt comfortable at all times. We also looked at sources of stress in my life how life changes in addition to dietary changes could support me further. He explained how the changes and supplements he recommended would support my health and healing.

Within three weeks the brain fog lifted and headaches became less frequent.  The digestive pain decreased with the supplements he recommended so that for the first time in months I was able to eat foods containing the nutrients I needed. I could concentrate and began feel like I could function and cope again. I continue to follow Tom’s recommendations and very much appreciate his ongoing support.

I was impressed by Tom’s level of professionalism, skill and knowledge that made him a great resource for health advice and I felt comfortable and at ease during the consultation. Although I had seen other nutritionists previously with the same complaints, Tom’s suggestion that I take hcl and pepsin before meals really made a difference to my symptoms. I will continue to see him for further support and insight on my health.

My sessions with Tom were really productive. He listened attentively to my life circumstances and after deliberation suggested various strategies, all with skill and grace: as a result I have seen a dramatic change in my energy levels and an overall improvement in my state of being. I would recommend him to anyone who is looking to improve their health.
