Background and Philosophy
Named as one of the UK’s top five Super-Nutritionists, Amanda Hamilton began her career as a journalist and broadcaster, shaping a lifelong commitment to clear, evidence-based health communication. A sought-after speaker and best-selling author, her work is underpinned by the belief that nutrition alone is not enough — intelligent movement, mindfulness, strength and recovery are also central to long-term health and resilience.
Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro at 50 crystallised her philosophy: lasting health is built on a strong basecamp of daily habits — how we eat, move and think — complemented by ascents that challenge and renew. Through her Health Is Wealth coaching community, Amanda supports the basecamp with structured exercise, nutrition and mindset practices, while Longevity Fasts and residential retreats provide the ascents — guided resets that support metabolic health, reduce inflammation and promote healthy ageing.
Committed to continual learning, Amanda remains actively engaged in research and postgraduate study, ensuring her work evolves alongside the science — not trends.
Media
A well-known BBC television presenter, Amanda has presented and produced a wide range of programmes focused on nutrition and wellbeing, including The Truth About..., How to Live Longer and The Spa of Embarrassing Illnesses. She also spent many years co-hosting the BBC’s Sunday morning live television show Something for the Weekend, and remains a regular contributor across BBC radio. Known as a trusted, authoritative voice, Amanda is equally at home in fast-moving live broadcast environments and in more considered, long-form health writing.
Exercise and Sport
Exercise is a key aspect of Amanda's holistic approach to health and wellbeing. She competes internationally in badminton, representing Scotland after a near-25 year break from the sport. A qualified PT, Pilates and Barre teacher, her classes run within the Health Is Wealth community and during residential retreats. She has also trained in yoga and meditation during a sabbatical in India.
Food Philopsophy
Amanda prioritises nutrient-dense, minimally processed foods; plenty of plants; and a sustainable, farm-to-table ethos that supports metabolic health over the long term. This foundation is complemented by gut-supportive nutrition and carefully applied fasting-mimicking protocols, used not as extremes but as tools to enhance energy, reduce inflammation and protect long-term health.
At the heart of her work is a deep commitment to making good nutrition practical, inclusive and accessible — so it can be followed in real life, not just in theory.
