Enjoy this IBS-friendly twist on an Asian classic Eating out and following a low-FODMAP diet is much simpler than it used to be, but Thai and other Asian restaurants aren’t always the easiest choices. Many sauces are so complex and elaborate, that it may be tricky to navigate these venues safely. But take heart! Our […]
If you didn’t get to watch the recent live discussion I had with founder of Castorvida, Alison Leighton, all about the health benefits of castor oil packs, then I highly recommend you watch the video. It was fascinating to listen to Alison talking about the many ways in which the use of castor oil can […]
IBS is a complex set of symptoms and triggers, so any treatment protocol needs to be tailored to the individual. We all have different health conditions and medications we take, as well as unique symptoms, gut microbiomes, genetics, history, eating habits, responsibilities, and work patterns. I receive many, many enquiries from people looking for ‘IBS […]
“Those who starve do not fast, and those who fast do not starve.” (From: ‘Modern Mayr Medicine and Viva-Mayr Principles for Good Digestion and a Better Life’ by Prof Harald Stossier and Dr. George Stossier.) Many of you will have read about or seen some of my posts from my recent stay at the Viva-Mayr […]
How a disrupted gut can trigger symptoms I recently spent two weeks at the wonderful Viva-Mayr Clinic of Modern Medicine in Austria carrying out their world-renowned wellness ‘cure’ and whilst there, I attended a few evening lectures where the medical doctors share their knowledge and wisdom on how to maintain a healthy gut. During one […]
As well as April being IBS awareness month, this is also bowel cancer awareness month, but the two conditions are not related. There is no evidence to suggest that IBS increases the risk of developing bowel cancer. The only way IBS and bowel cancer are related is that they can both cause bowel symptoms. People […]
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a complex set of symptoms and root causes, from negative shifts in your microbiome to food intolerance to a dysregulated gut-brain connection. When you start to tackle ways of fixing IBS through diet and lifestyle and targeted supplements, you need to be consistent and patient – remember, it’s not likely […]
Illness is a drama in 10 acts: I first heard about the Viva-Mayr Clinic in Austria back in 2009. Dr. Harald Stossier, the Clinic’s Medical Director used to visit London and give talks on the Mayr ‘cure’, which is based on the principles of the now renowned Mayr method. Developed by Dr. F.X Mayr over […]
Since late autumn, continuing throughout the very grey, wet winter we have had, I have been receiving enquiries from people who are suffering with sinusitis, sinus congestion and rhinitis, conditions which tend to prevail in colder weather, as the change in temperature and humidity can irritate the sinuses and lead to congestion, headaches, and other […]
With Bowel Cancer Awareness month coming up in April, we wanted to highlight the importance of health screening – how it can help prevent cancer and other diseases, or catch it early enough to treat and cure it. Bowel cancer, which includes colon and rectal cancer, is one of the most common cancers in the […]
When it comes to gut health, flaxseeds pack a proper punch. Small in size, but colossal in health benefits, flaxseeds are loaded with dietary fibre, which can help promote regular bowel movements and prevent constipation, keeping your digestive system functioning smoothly. If you are unsure about how to incorporate flaxseed into your daily diet, look […]
The subject of my most recent live discussion centred on a woman’s journey to pregnancy and beyond. I was joined by nutritional therapist, Sophia Hill, who as mum to recently turned one-year-old Freida, had plenty to share – from how she prepared her body pre-conception, how she navigated pregnancy itself to how she is faring […]
When our customers are kind enough to share their experiences in a website, Google or TrustPilot review, they will start out by reporting how they have been able to resolve their long-standing digestive and gut health issues through following one of our targeted supplement protocols. More often than not, these people have contacted me directly, […]
Our nutritional needs most definitely change the older we get. One of the most potent tools in the fight against ageing is protein. This essential nutrient plays a crucial role in maintaining and restoring the body’s functions, and plays a key role in preserving youth and health for a number of reasons. Research consistently demonstrates […]
When I qualified in colon hydrotherapy, it soon became very clear to me how big a problem constipation is in this country. Many people may not talk about their issues with constipation due to the embarrassment and shame around the ridiculous notion that speaking about anything to do with our bowels is ‘off-limits’. Honestly, we […]
I think many of you already know the story of how developing my own range of digestive and gut health supplements came about, but perhaps you don’t know why probiotics feature so prominently in my range. When I qualified in colon hydrotherapy 20 years ago, and began treating people with this amazing therapy, I quickly […]
