Tom Smith

Tom Smith is an Accredited Practising Dietitian with a clinical focus on inflammatory bowel disease, IBS and disorders of gut–brain interaction.

He works extensively in digestive health, supporting patients with chronic diarrhoea, constipation, bloating and abdominal pain, as well as coeliac disease, eosinophilic oesophagitis, reflux and post-infectious gut conditions.

Tom has a particular interest in the gut microbiome and integrates microbiome data into structured, staged and evidence-based nutrition plans. His approach focuses on restoring bowel function, improving microbial diversity and reducing unnecessary dietary restriction.

In addition to gastrointestinal care, Tom manages a broad range of metabolic health conditions including fatty liver disease, type 2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome, dyslipidaemia and cardiovascular risk. He also supports patients using GLP-1 medications for weight loss, helping them preserve muscle mass, optimise nutrient intake and build sustainable long-term habits.

Tom is experienced in managing complex, multi-condition presentations and works closely with gastroenterologists and multidisciplinary teams to ensure coordinated care.

With over 15 years of experience as an educator, Tom brings strong communication skills and a calm, practical approach to consultations. He is known for clearly explaining the physiology behind symptoms and empowering patients to understand and confidently manage their condition.

His goal is not simply symptom relief, but long-term stability, clarity and confidence in health management.
