What do I need for a virtual appointment?

A smartphone, tablet, or computer with a camera and microphone, and a reasonably quiet space. No specialist equipment is needed. You will receive a link to join the video call after booking.

Is virtual as effective as an in-person appointment?

Yes. The clinical approach is identical. Dr Hiscutt PhD uses the same pre-session health questionnaire, the same diagnostic process, and produces the same personalised health action plan. The only difference is that you attend from wherever you are.

Can I get support for perimenopause or menopause online?

Yes. Dr Rebecca Hiscutt PhD RD specialises in perimenopause and menopause through a metabolic health lens. Virtual appointments are a practical way to access specialist dietetic support without travelling, wherever you are in the UK.

All bookings are online only. Use the booking link on this page to choose a date and time. After booking you will receive a health questionnaire to complete before your appointment.

Virtual Root Cause Clinic — online clinical nutrition UK-wide

Is this for you?

The virtual clinic is designed for people living high-responsibility lives across the UK who need expert clinical support without the logistics. It is a good fit if you are navigating:

Perimenopause and menopause Hot flushes, disrupted sleep, low energy, mood changes, and the sense that your body has shifted in ways no one warned you about.
Fatigue and energy crashes Feeling tired all the time, waking unrefreshed, or hitting the wall every afternoon despite a full night’s sleep.
Brain fog and cognitive symptoms Difficulty concentrating, poor memory, mental slowness, or struggling to find words mid-sentence.
Migraines, headaches, and pain Recurrent headaches or migraines, joint pain, aches and pains, or musculoskeletal discomfort without a clear cause.
Metabolic markers Rising blood pressure, blood glucose, pre-diabetes, or unexplained weight changes.
Gut symptoms Bloating, IBS, digestive discomfort, or changes in how your gut has been behaving.

All bookings are online only. Use the booking button on this page. After booking you will receive a health questionnaire so Dr Hiscutt PhD can prepare before your session.

Can you help with migraines, headaches, and joint pain online?

Yes. Migraines, recurrent headaches, and joint pain often have a nutritional or metabolic component, particularly during perimenopause. Dr Hiscutt PhD explores these through a root-cause lens in virtual appointments, looking at blood sugar patterns, inflammation, hydration, and hormonal triggers. No in-person assessment is needed for this kind of work.

Can a virtual appointment help with gut symptoms like bloating and IBS?

Yes. Bloating, IBS, and digestive discomfort are common reasons people book the virtual clinic. They often reflect changes in the gut microbiome, food sensitivities, or stress responses. Dr Hiscutt PhD assesses gut symptoms as part of the overall clinical picture, wherever you are in the UK.

Can a dietitian help with brain fog and fatigue online?

Yes. Brain fog and fatigue during perimenopause are often driven by blood sugar instability, nutrient deficiencies, sleep disruption, and hormonal shifts. All are addressable through diet and lifestyle. Virtual appointments are just as effective for these concerns as in-person sessions.
