About
The Detective Behind the Practice
Meet Celine.
Celine de Castro · RNT, NNCP · Metabolic Balance® Coach
She has been the person in the room who looks like everything is fine — and isn’t. That’s where this practice began.
I built The Health Detective because I know what it feels like to have done everything right on paper and still feel like something is off.
I have sat at the most impressive tables and felt nothing. And found — consistently — that the real answers came from somewhere quieter. Not the protocol. Not the trend. The honest conversation. The thing built around the actual person, not the textbook version of them.
That’s what I bring to every case file.
Every investigation starts with your story — all of it. Not just your symptoms. Your timeline. The meals you grew up with. The habits that weren’t really choices because they were simply how things were done. The life events that seemed unrelated but left a mark. The things nobody asked about before.
I call this your Inherited Plates. And it is almost always where the most useful clues are hiding.
From there, we follow the evidence together — patterns across your history, your body, your lifestyle — until we have a direction that is specific to you and nobody else. And when something falls outside my scope, I’ll tell you honestly and point you to the right person.
This is not generic advice dressed up as personalised care. It is a real investigation. And it starts with you.
Celine · The Health Detective
The Story
Everything was preparing me
for exactly this.
That pattern — choosing what looks impressive, then finding the real value somewhere quieter — became the foundation of The Health Detective.
I now bring that same investigative curiosity to every person who sits across from me. Looking past the trends, the protocols, and the noise to find what is actually true for your body, your life, and your story.
More than a decade living in Spain. Thirty years of watching how differently people eat, move, rest, and make meaning. A lifetime of careful observation. I bring all of it into the room.
“Health is not a protocol. It is a personal investigation. And I want to help people find their own answers.”
What I Stand For
The values behind the work
Authenticity
I show up as my full self — not a polished version of what wellness is supposed to look like. And I expect the same conversation in return.
Curiosity
Every client, every case, every symptom gets the same question: what is this actually telling us? The answer is rarely the obvious one.
Contribution
I am here to leave this profession, and everyone who comes through my door, better than I found them.
