Highly Recommend Sophia for IBS and Gut Health
I worked with Sophia a couple of years back, and she was absolutely lovely - warm, caring, and very understanding. Sophia offered a rounded approach that included stress management, movement, and supplementation. After 15 years of struggling with IBS, I finally saw a remarkable improvement in my symptoms. My energy increased, I lost weight, and I was able to expand my diet again. I’d highly recommend Sophia and the team at the IBS Gut Health Clinic!
Thank you, Sylvia, for sharing your experience! We're thrilled that Sophia could help you see such positive changes. Warm regards, Martin Cohen

After years of suffering from gut issues , I was diagnosed with SIBO and referred to Martin Cohen. I couldn’t have hoped to find a kinder, more thoughtful and caring practitioner. Thanks to his support, advice and supplementation, I have turned my life around these last eight months and feel well and stable. Along the way, I have discovered so much about myself, what the various triggers can be and how to manage those successfully. I now understand that there are more than physical explanations to gut issues. Martin also encouraged me to undertake gut hypnotherapy with overwhelmingly positive results. I no longer fear food. Now I look forward to going out to friends/restaurants, something I had not done in years without a great deal of restrictions and anxiety. I really cannot recommend the IBS Gut Clinic and Martin Cohen highly enough, I have made more progress than I ever hoped for with him!
With my grateful thanks,
France Sidebottom
Dear France, thank you for taking the time to leave such a kind review. I'm very pleased with your progress. It's been a pleasure to support you. Warmest regards, Martin Cohen
Support and helpful
Having suffered from bowel problems for many years, I was pleased to discover Martin who was happy to work with me along side my gastroenterologist. He took a thorough history. He was thoughtful and understanding and knowledgeable. I have kept several of his recommendations in my life which have improved the quality of my life due to a significant reduction in my symptoms. I have no hesitation in recommending him. Thank you, Martin.
I can't thank and recommend Martin enough, he has quite literally changed my life if I could give more stars I would!
Bit of a back story, I have struggled with gut health for the past 12/13 years and it got progressively worse with more doctors visits than I can count, to be told it was just IBS and to keep a food diary and often times being told it was all in my head.
I finally got an endoscopy referral after many years of refusals even though I had daily extreme bloating, pain, bowel movement problems, chronic reflux which was pooling in to my throat, i'd even been to A&E multiple times for very aggressive chest pains over the past couple of years! The endoscopy I finally got showed I had multiple ulcers, stomach erosion, gastritis and a small hiatal hernia but unfortunately all they could do was keep me on proton pump inhibitors which I had been on long term already.
Feeling extremely lost, anxiety through the roof and not even being able to sit down most nights after my evening meal without being in significant pain and tears at lot of the time, I came across Martin a few weeks later and booked on to his free 15 minute call. From just speaking to Martin I could see how knowledgable he was and for the first time in 12 years someone actually listened and cared!
I booked in with Martin there and then and it was the best decision I made, the initial assessment was very thorough and everything we spoke about made total sense, Martin even went over some of the more technical/science stuff with me that I was super interested in.
I have been working with Martin for just over 4 months and when I say it has been life changing, I feel like i'm completely back in control. My extreme bloating is gone along with the pain including the chest and sternum pain and has been for a little while now, my reflux is now 99% under control too and I have a natural supplement while things continue to heal with that if I do need to use occasionally. I now have regular bowel habits and have managed to successfully introduce all food groups back in to my diet and I have no anxiety about any of them giving me symptoms, which is something I could only have dreamed of a few months back. I can finally enjoy a meal out with my husband and friends again and not be riddled with anxiety with every mouthful because I know I will be in agony later!
Martin is very calm, a great listener and instantly puts you at ease, as said above he is super knowledgeable and well the results speak for themselves!
I can't thank Martin enough for giving me my life back, I never thought in a million years 4 months ago that I would be in the place that I am now physically and mentally!
My mentality around food and a healthy gut has changed significantly, I absolutely love cooking now and understand that it's not just about the food but stress and our environment how we eat etc is also a big factor, I truly believe this has helped me be a calmer person and has had a significant impact on my mental health and anxiety too aswell as my gut!
If you are thinking about reaching out to Martin for support then definitely do the support he has given me is invaluable!
Thanks so much again Martin and all the best for the future, I know who I'll be contacting if I or any of my loved ones ever need gut support in the future!
Hi Zoe, thank you very much for leaving such a kind and detailed review. Thank you again for working with me and wishing you all the very best, Martin Cohen

I’ve struggled with severe gut issues since I had a bad infection 10 years ago. I’ve tried going to gastroenterologists (private and on the NHS), numerous different diets and copious amounts of herbal supplements, none of them helping my symptoms. Since working with Martin, my symptoms have almost disappeared and I’ve been able to eat/tolerate so many more different foods than previously. Martin really listened to my full 10 years of symptoms and issues and was able to give me a reason for them and also provide supplements recommendations to heal my gut. I’m really grateful for Martin’s help and would recommend him to anyone that feels they’re struggling with gut issues and wants a normal life back.
Hi Amber, thank you for taking the time to leave a review. It's greatly appreciated. Warmest regards, Martin Cohen
niamh pinkney2025.08.22
I had struggled with IBS symptoms for 10 years before contacting Martin. I was suffering on a daily basis, leading to painful and embarrassing situations. He has completely changed things in every way. His plan has significantly improved my life, I no longer suffer like I used to and I am able to eat a variety of foods without symptoms. He has given me the fundamentals to carry on this way for the rest of my life. Thank you again Martin I can’t appreciate you more.
Hi Niamh, thank you for your review and very pleased you've seen such big improvements. Warmest regards, Martin Cohen
Mariam Mokh2025.08.15
Martins advice and guidance was life changing. I suffered from bloating and was unable to eat a lot of food due to fear that it would cause me discomfort and bloating but after only the first session and his guidance on food and supplements I was able to Regain control of my gut health. Two months after seeing him I have not had any issues regarding bloating, discomfort after eating and have been able to reintroduce all foods back into my diet, including dairy which was a huge issue for me.
Truly grateful for the help and couldn’t recommend him more.
Hi Mariam, thank you for leaving a review. I'm very pleased with your progress and response to the support. Warmest regards, Martin Cohen
Beryl Spence2025.08.11
My issues began after taking some antibiotics for a toenail fungal infection. I had tried the ointments first a year and they hadn’t worked. I was worried about taking the antibiotics because I don’t get on with medication and was told I would be ok because the blood tests I had done prior to taking medication were normal. I was supposed to take the course for 3 months but after 2 was feeling not right. I had terrible gas at night and trapped wind and couldn’t sleep. I went to the Dr four times and was told to take Kefir and mint tea. On the last appointment I was told to go on a FODMAP. I was still having terrible trouble so contacted Martin who listened and said I had dysbiosis cause by the antibiotics. He made a plan for me and I had different supplements to help me move forward. One year later I can nearly eat everything but now have a bone issue. Martin has now made a new plan for me to target the bones.
Martin is extremely knowledgeable and has really helped me to get back to normal. I don’t think I would be in the position I am in now without his help.I can’t recommend him enough.
Thank you
Hi Beryl, thank you for leaving a review. It's been a pleasure supporting you and I'm very pleased you've found the support so helpful. Warmest regards, Martin Cohen

After an initial consultation and working with Martin for the last ten months I would highly recommend the service he and The IBS & Gut Health Clinic deliveries.
With a professional and informative approach, Martin worked to deliver a tailor made protocol focussed around rebalancing and significantly improving my IBS concerns.
Martin has a real passion and holds a wealth of knowledge when it comes to gut, nutrition and supplementation.
During this period of time I have gained an invaluable and in-depth understanding of gut health and can happily say that by implementing Martin's advice and recommendations have seen fantastic results.
Thank you again for your help Martin.
I contacted Martin last October after feeling helpless and overwhelmed with how symptoms of the worst IBS flare up I’ve experienced were impacting my daily life and mental health.
From the first consultation with the information and guidance given I was optimistic my symptoms could be improved.
Following the protocols given ,and dietary advice my symptoms began to improve within the first few days.
Now , 4 months later I feel back in control and much more aware of what and how I should be eating to control symptoms although I have to say the symptoms have virtually disappeared.
I’ve got my life back .
Cannot recommend Martin and The IBS and Gut Health Clinic highly enough
Thankyou so very much
Excellent advice and guidance from Martin. This year has been challenging with my IBS. I am now in a more stable/settled period thanks to the support from Martin. I will continue to follow the advice provided to retain stability and avoid triggering my IBS. Thank you Martin
I contacted the IBS & Gut Health Clinic after exhausting my options going between the NHS and private Consultants trying to find answers to my child’s illness. My daughter was seriously unwell for 18 months after a viral infection which left her with long term agonising stomach pain, unable to eat barely anything, lost a third of her body weight and recurrent absences from school. We were in a desperate situation when luckily we came across Sophia and her expertise. She was sensitive, listened to all our fears, asked detailed questions about my daughter’s history and health and made a detailed plan for her straight away. Finally we felt like we were being taken seriously, and within a couple of months my daughter started to be able to tolerate more foods and her symptoms improved drastically. A year down the line she is pain and symptom free and has her life back. I owe you the world for your services and I’ll be forever grateful for what you have done for my little girl. Thank you so much!
Life changing for me - helped me find the cause of my symptoms and ultimately got me my old life back. Really friendly and knowledgeable - explained everything in a clear and accessible way, and I always felt listened to. Advice was always clearly reasoned and took into account my goals and budget. As well as addressing the root cause of my issues, we also made changes to my diet which mean I am healthier and feel even better than I did before my issues started. Thank you!

I worked with Martin over the summer to help with IBS symptoms I was experiencing that had been exacerbated by stress and other factors. Martin took the time to explain what was happening with my digestive system to cause these problems and helped me implement a protocol to assist in improving symptoms, whilst also suggesting I slowly introduce certain probiotic and prebiotic supplements to support my gut health. I have been able to re-introduce a wide variety of foods back into my diet that I had been avoiding and have seen an improvement in IBS symptoms. Thank you for your help.
Hi Jo,
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. It was a pleasure to support you and very pleased with your response.

Annie White2024.07.24
Honestly, i was at the end of my tether and felt that maybe the stomach cramps, feeling exhausted and bloated was something that i was going to have to live with…. I’d had an emergency appendix operation 3 years ago which left me with a yeast overgrowth.. The treatment was antibiotics - which didn’t seem right to me as that’s how I’d got into this mess in the first place. I’d exhausted literally everything but still felt that there had to be another solution. Martin has been the solution for me. He took real time to listen to my problems and to outlined a protocol which worked quickly for me. I saw results within the first month and I’m virtually back to where i was before my op…. I would highly recommend him to anyone
Hi Annie, thank you very much. Warmest regards, Martin Cohen

Working with Martin has been a life changing experience.
After years of suffering with digestive issues I am now in hugely better place thanks to Martin and his work.
Not only has this helped my digestive issues but has given me a hugely more positive outlook on nutrition as a whole which I was not expecting!
My diet now consists of natural, raw and unprocessed foods and I love my new way of eating! And it will undoubtedly lead to a longer, healthier and happier life all round.
I still enjoy treats and but my mindset around nutrition has completely changed and I am happy to be eating so much healthier.
Prior to working with Martin I researched various routes to go down and all I can say is if you are considering working with Martin and his team then do it as you will not regret it!
Hi William, thank you for taking the time to leave a review. I'm very pleased I was able to support you and your gut health. Wishing you all the very best, Martin
Ross Drennan2024.02.29
I paid for Martin's services starting in January as I was experiencing Gut problems including constant constipation and discomfort. From the first meeting Martin was extremely knowledgeable and was able to give me the information regarding how the gut reacts to certain foods in a way that was easy to understand. He set me out a plan of action including changing my diet and introducing certain foods and supplements and within 5 weeks my gut was completely different. I really enjoyed the change of diet we implemented and now it has become the norm in my day to day life. Even testing certain foods to see which were the culprits for my gut problems. Its changed the way I think about food and how I look after my body. Thanks Martin, Really appreciate it.
Hi Ross, thank you for taking the time to leave a review. I'm really pleased with your response to the support. Warmest regards, Martin Cohen

After many years of struggling with IBS flare-ups, I am now much more able to understand and control my digestive system thanks to working with Sophia and using the IBS & Gut Health Clinic resources online. Besides being well-qualified and experienced, Sophia brought a natural empathy to our sessions, consequently I felt very supported and motivated to carry out the Protocols she devised for me after each session. I am now finding pleasure in eating, consequently my life-style has improved considerably.
