NUTRITIONIST · AUTHOR · SPEAKERHealth Beyond Perfection
I bring together functional medicine, queer health, body image and healing, informed by more than fifteen years of practice and lived experience.
MY NEW BOOK
The Queer Guide to Nutrition & Lifestyle
COMING 21st SEPTEMBER 2026
Published by Jessica Kingsley Publishers.
A new edition of Naked Nutrition, expanded and updated for the next chapter of LGBTQ+ health.
This book brings together nutrition, functional medicine, mental health, body image, sexual wellbeing, transgender health, HIV, party culture, addiction, recovery, and family building.
Written from clinical experience and lived reality, it offers an evidence-informed approach to queer wellbeing that goes beyond generic health advice. It recognises that health is shaped by more than just food and fitness. It is shaped by identity, stress, shame, pleasure, community, access to care, and the stories we carry in our bodies.
Practical, inclusive, and grounded in real life, The Queer Guide to Nutrition & Lifestyle is for LGBTQ+ people and for anyone who wants to better understand queer health.
My Approach
Health is never only physical. It is shaped by biology, identity, stress, relationships, culture and the ways we have learnt to cope. My work looks at how these parts interact, rather than reducing a person to a set of symptoms or forcing them into a standard protocol.
Nutrition
Evidence-informed nutrition and functional medicine that considers symptoms, energy, digestion, hormones, medication, sleep and everyday life.
Identity & Behaviour
Body image, perfectionism, shame, belonging and the patterns that shape how you eat, cope and care for yourself.
Healing & Integration
Healing involves more than understanding what happened. My trauma-aware approach considers how past experiences, protective patterns and the nervous system can shape present health.

About Daniel
I’m a Functional Medicine Certified Practitioner, nutritionist, author and speaker with more than fifteen years of clinical experience.
I work across nutrition, queer health, body image and healing, bringing evidence-informed practice together with an understanding of identity, culture and lived experience.
I’m the author of Letting Go of Perfect: A Gay Man’s Guide to Healing from Body Dysmorphia and The Queer Guide to Nutrition and Lifestyle.
Alongside working internationally with private clients and organisations, I speak about what health can look like when we move beyond rigid rules, constant optimisation and the pressure to be perfect.
MY MOST PERSONAL BOOK
Letting Go of Perfect: A Gay Man’s Guide to Healing from Body Dysmorphia
OUT NOW
Published by Jessica Kingsley Publishers.
Body dysmorphia is rarely spoken about openly, particularly among gay men. Letting Go of Perfect is my most personal work to date, bringing together lived experience and clinical insight to explore how body image, shame, and control take shape.
This book is for anyone who has felt trapped by comparison, performance, or the pressure to be a certain version of themselves. It offers a more honest alternative to quick-fix body image solutions, looking beyond the surface to the experiences, beliefs and patterns that keep body dysmorphia in place.
Speaking
I speak with evidence, warmth and candour about queer health, body image, perfectionism and the relationship between identity, wellbeing and performance.
I’m available for keynotes, panels, workshops, interviews and selected advisory projects.
