Nicole Taylor is a certified nutritional practitioner, lecturer and Module Coordinator at The Institute of Optimum Nutrition on the Cardiometabolic and Neuroendocrine modules. She leverages her nine years of clinical practice to mentor future nutritionists with a special focus on fertility health and neuroendocrine modulation.

Drawing from her expertise in Botanical Medicine and ancestral culinary practices like "cucina povera", Nicole emphasizes the importance of nutrient-dense foods for homeostasis.

She has developed the Flowly Method, an innovative online program addressing stress by fostering "flow states," integrating her knowledge of nutrition with mental well-being. Flow states, characterised by heightened focus and creativity, aid in hormonal health by helping individuals exit survival mode and regulate the nervous system.

Her lifelong passions for therapeutic nutrition, botanical medicine, and art therapy converge in her creation of bespoke health plans to optimise fertility and hormonal balance.
