    Rekha Rampersad - Let's Go DUTCH With Our Hormones

    Dr. Rekha Rampersad is a Chiropractor, originally qualified in South Africa and practicing in the UK for over 22 years. In 2010, shortly after opening her practice, Rekha faced an unexpected health crisis—severe digestive issues, chronic fatigue, and unexplained weight gain. For someone who had always placed health as her highest value, this marked uncharted territory. Her personal journey to recovery ignited a deep passion for uncovering root causes and led her to expand her expertise beyond chiropractic care. She went on to study functional nutrition, the Sympathetic Dominance Protocol, functional neurology, and graduated from the Wellness Way Academy. Rekha describes herself as a lifelong student—constantly learning, evolving, and refining her approach to better serve her clients and support her own wellbeing. One of the key tools she integrates into her work is the DUTCH test, which she uses to gain deeper insight into hormonal health and guide personalized wellness strategies.
