Developed and led by the award-winning registered naturopathic nutritionist and gut health specialist, Charlotte Fraser, The Whole Student Programme offers comprehensive holistic health and wellbeing support for students aged 12-24. This programme strategically focuses on the pivotal period following puberty—a crucial time for establishing long-term health patterns and addressing future health issues.
Charlotte Fraser’s extensive clinical experience reveals that many adult health conditions have their roots in puberty. Drawing on this insight, she designed this programme to help students – teenagers and young adults – excel in their health, life, and learning, tackling challenges such as anxiety, depression, and chronic health conditions. Her own journey of managing an autoimmune condition enriches her empathy and commitment to preventative healthcare, aiming to intervene before these conditions escalate.
Key Focus: Gut-Brain Axis
Charlotte has a special interest in the gut-brain axis, which informs much of her approach within the programme. This focus supports a better understanding and treatment of how digestive health impacts overall mental and emotional wellbeing, integrating targeted interventions that benefit both the mind and body.
“With a brilliant ability to get behind your teenager’s emotional wall indirectly, Charlotte Fraser is a naturopathic nutritionist and founder of the Whole Student Programme… A lifeline for worried mothers.”
