The Queer Guide to Nutrition & Lifestyle

Health advice that reflects the lives we actually lead.

OUT NOW | Jessica Kingsley Publishers

For too long, conversations about nutrition and wellbeing have largely overlooked the experiences of LGBTQ+ people. The advice may be familiar, but the circumstances in which we live, the pressures we experience and the barriers we encounter aren't always the same.

Originally published as Naked Nutrition, this revised and expanded edition brings together clinical knowledge, research and lived experience to provide a more inclusive understanding of queer health.

What's Inside

The book explores nutrition, functional medicine, body image, mental health, sexual wellbeing, transgender health, HIV, addiction, party culture, fertility and family building.

It considers how identity, relationships, social pressures and access to healthcare influence our wellbeing, offering practical guidance without reducing health to a set of rules or an ideal we should all be striving towards.

Why I Wrote It

Throughout my clinical career, I've been interested in the gap between conventional health advice and the realities of LGBTQ+ lives.

This book reflects my commitment to addressing that gap. It's written for LGBTQ+ readers, but also for healthcare professionals, families, allies and anyone interested in a more informed conversation about health and identity.
