Who is Amanda?
Amanda King is a nutritional therapist, naturopathic practitioner, and writer, best known as the author of The Metabolic Nutritionist on Substack, a weekly newsletter with over 30,000 subscribers exploring off-label drugs for cancer, supplements, and dietary and naturopathic interventions in oncology. Her first book, Metabolic Drugs for Cancer, co-authored with Dr Hari Kuhan, will be published in Fall 2025.
Amanda is the founder of Metabolic Health Clinic Ltd, a thriving clinic which helps people at all stages in their cancer journey. Her team also works with not only cancer but all aspects of health and health problems. Using functional testing and naturopathic medicine to bring people back to great health.
Amanda completed her undergraduate training with a BSc at the Open University, combining studies in Human Biology, Psychology, and Counselling. She went on to clinical training at the College of Naturopathic Medicine in London, first qualifying as a Nutritional Therapist before undertaking postgraduate training as a Naturopathic Practitioner. Most recently, she graduated from the Practitioner Master Course in Integrative Metabolic Oncology with Metabolic Regen under Dr Nasha Winters, gaining advanced expertise in terrain-focused cancer care.
Over her career, Amanda has developed deep specialisation in nutrigenomics, methylation science, epigenetics, and dietary interventions. Her clinical practice integrates advanced laboratory diagnostics with personalised nutrition, therapeutic ketogenic and ancestral diets, and targeted supplementation to optimise each patient’s metabolic landscape.
A certified nutrigenomics practitioner with additional training in Integrative and Gestalt psychotherapy, she is recognised for translating complex genomic and hormonal data—such as DNA methylation profiles and functional medicine testing—into pragmatic, personalised nutrition and lifestyle protocols that address both biochemical individuality and psychological wellbeing.
Through her integrative oncology nutrition practice, Amanda delivers bespoke care plans that combine ketogenic therapy, supplements, off-label drugs, and lifestyle optimisation with evidence-based complementary approaches. Her focus is on empowering patients with clarity and agency in navigating cancer care.
Beyond clinical practice, Amanda collaborates with metabolic oncologists, functional laboratories, and patient-advocacy groups worldwide to expand access to nutrition-centred oncology. She is committed to generating rigorous outcomes data that can help elevate the standard of integrative cancer support and reshape the dialogue around food as medicine.

I’ve always been a nature girl with my feet in soil and my head in books, exploring the woods and devouring everything from Orwell to psychology texts and the classics. Initially, I followed the path to become a psychologist.
While studying psychology, I realised there was a gap: Why focus solely on the mind and neglect the body's needs? Why go through psychotherapy if your vitamin D and Omega 3 deficiency, shown to cause depression, was not addressed? I changed course and pursued a degree in Human Biology alongside Psychology and Counselling,
After earning my BSc in 2015, I immersed myself in self-development for four years, reading and learning from Dr Gabor Mate, Eckhart Tolle, Adyashanti, Marshall Rosenberg, Byron Katie, and Prof. Jordan Peterson, many of whom I had the pleasure of meeting along the way.
In 2022, I qualified as a Naturopathic Nutritionist at The College of Naturopathic Medicine. Early in 2024, I completed my postgraduate studies as a Naturopathic Practitioner (ND). In early 2025 I was informed that I had graduated from the Practitioner Master Course with the Metabolic Terrain Institute of Health, powered by Dr Nasha Winters.
People’s understanding of nutrition is changing. We truly are what we eat. With the right advice, nutrition and lifestyle, we can take control of our health. With a combination of blood tests, diagnostics, DNA methylation reports and consultations, I offer a powerful, personalised nutrition solution. This is the GOLD standard!
