About Me

Who am I, and how I can help?

Richa Puri Independent Prescriber and Registered Nutritional Therapist at desk and computer

As a highly trained and experienced registered independent prescribing pharmacist and nutritional therapist, I bring to my work 18 years of clinical experience in understanding why people’s fertility and hormonal health go sideways. The result of my exploration of their health and the changes we put in place together are beautifully life-changing, and the process is incredibly rewarding.

It was my own personal struggles with my health which sparked a deep interest in functional medicine and nutrition. I have found in my own life and in my clinical work that having an open mind and being willing to explore all the options, from HRT to bio-identical hormones from Progesterone to DHEA, from supplements to cutting-edge biohacking technology, and this has been proven time and time again in my clients’ own success stories.

I continuously expand my knowledge in functional medicine through advanced training and ongoing development to present the best science-backed guidance to my clients, ensuring they have the highest level of customer service and my incisive fertility-detective mind at their disposal. Acknowledging that for many people with health problems, time – and time passing – is a huge factor, I work with my clients to ensure they are part of an effectively paced and results-focused process.

Work with me if you have concerns about AMH levels and egg health.

Work with me if you are experiencing perimenopausal/menopausal symptoms and would like to explore HRT, progesterone or DHEA.

Some frequently asked questions

  • I take your hand, talk to you, test you, and figure out what’s making you feel bad, struggle to conceive, or crash rather than sail into menopause.

    I am interested in finding out WHY, not just taking what I see superficially as your problem or symptoms and giving you things to take that can have a dubious outcome.

  • I don’t know. I haven’t met you yet. I’m not interested in doing what has been done before, doing the same as any of my other clients or giving you a one-size-fits-all experience.

  • You’ll experience an expert hand and a premium support service experience. I’ll assess every part of your life: your physical, hormonal, mental, emotional, metabolic, mitochondrial, nutrient, neurological, genetic, microbiome and adrenal health, and figure out with you what needs to happen. Some of this I’ll do, some of this you’ll do, but we’ll both be clear about what needs to happen, when and how long it will potentially take.

    I’ll be in touch with you regularly, we’ll review testing so you understand every aspect of what’s going on with your health, and we’ll lay down markers so you know how and when you can expect to see change and improvement.

  • Because I bring a lot more to the table than just nutritional understanding. 

    Your microbiome testing comes back with fungal overgrowth? No problem, I have the choice of giving you antifungals or antimicrobials. 

    You have an infection in your uterine lining? OK then, I can prescribe antibiotics. 

    You are really low hormonally, turning your sexual experience to an all-time low, your mood to a different person and hot flushes into the bane of your life? I’ve got you – HRT and lots of great supplements to clear excess oestrogen from your body.

    With decades of experience in research, biomedicine and higher qualifications from the Institute of Functional Medicine, thousands of hours of further training in the most cutting-edge diagnostic testing, and the ability to choose between western medical and nutritional options for your health, you’ll have the spectrum of premium choice for your health available to you.

  • I’m careful only to take on a few clients at a time so that I can give an excellent level of customer service to you. For example, you’ll never go more than 24 hours without my response to any communication you send me; your appointments will be booked in advance, and you’ll be sent reminders for them. I’ll follow up each session we have with a written report so you can be fully present at every session without feeling the pressure of having to master any new information with which we are presented. I will offer you prescribing as well as nutritional skills – a powerful combination – and I work intensively with you so that we can turn around even the most complicated cases in a comparatively short amount of time.

  • As my client numbers are limited due to the high demand my level of service provides, I try to ensure you’re a good fit for me before we move forward. Please click here to apply to work with me, and I will be in touch.
