Daniel O’Shaughnessy

Nutritionist - Certified Functional Medicine Practitioner - Author - Practitioner Researcher - Mindset Coach

 
 

I am an award-winning nutritionist and mindset coach based in London, UK. I have been in clinical practice for over 10 years, with a previous career in drug addiction counselling. I discovered nutrition after suffering from some personal nutrition issues, including skin concerns and a long history of weight challenges since childhood.

I'm someone who's walked the path of transformation. From a young age, I struggled with body dysmorphia and childhood trauma. It was through my dedication to confronting these issues head-on that I discovered the profound impact of integrated therapy and the transformative power of plant medicine and psychedelics. This journey not only assisted in healing me but also reshaped my approach to wellness and self-love.

My work spans 1-1 clinical practice, retreats, delivering talks and workshops, consulting on product design and as the author of Naked Nutrition, An LGBTQ+ Guide to Diet & Lifestyle, which is the first book of its kind focusing on the nutritional needs of the LGBTQ+ population.

I believe in the personalised nutrition and lifestyle approach, looking at the cause of ill-health. I don’t believe in extreme dieting or quick fixes; I believe in implementing small changes to have long-term effects. I am a Certified Functional Medicine Practitioner, of which there are only a handful in the UK. This is the gold standard in functional medicine training so my clients can be assured I am working to the highest level possible.

My academic pursuit of a Masters in Transdisciplinary Practice, focusing on psychedelics and lived experience, further cements my commitment to understanding the intricate relationship between our mental state and overall health. This learning empowers me to offer deep, reflective, and impactful support to my clients, considering factors like trauma, ego state, and control in their health journey—all factors that need to be considered when working with clients at a deep level to ensure success.
