Eat less, live longer – and age well!
These days, we hear a lot about fasting. Intermittent fasting, time-restricted eating, juicing, and water fasting are just some of the many terms being thrown around in support of better health.

Watch our informative video about all things colon hydrotherapy!
I always love hosting our Facebook Live events, and the most recent discussion about colon hydrotherapy was no different. It is after all one of my favourite subjects – the 90 minutes just flew by! I was joined by fellow colon hydrotherapist, Jane Bush, and the two of us were in our element as we […]
No more IBS flare-ups for Zoe – thanks to the Perfect Balance Kit
I’d like to share this wonderful testimonial that I received from 27-year-old IBS sufferer, Zoe, recently: “I have completed the Charcoal cleanse, which made me feel so fresh and happy. My stools were black, and I had wind, but this really wasn’t an issue. I started on the supplements in the 30-day Balance Kit straight […]
Detoxing – What’s it all about? (Video)
Spring brings new growth and regeneration, which makes it a great time to refresh our systems by carrying out a detox. In fact, according to the Chinese, spring is the ideal time to cleanse and nourish the liver. To welcome the warmer days of spring, I thought that detoxing would be the perfect subject matter […]
Is food poisoning the cause of your IBS?
Food poisoning is obviously no fun. As the symptoms rage on, you worry that you will never recover. In most cases, the acute symptoms of food poisoning do pass within 24 hours and people can return to their regular lives. But for roughly one in four food-poisoning sufferers, symptoms can linger – and linger and linger. […]

10 top tips for detoxing and cleansing after Christmas
First, lighten up your toxin load. Eliminate alcohol, coffee, cigarettes, refined sugars, and saturated fats, all of which act as toxins in the body and are obstacles to your healing process. Also, minimise the use of chemical-based household cleaners and personal health care products (cleansers, shampoos, deodorants and toothpastes), and substitute natural alternatives. Eat plenty […]
Is an enema the same as a colonic?
Over the years, I’ve often been asked this question and the answer is no. An enema only empties the very lower part of the large bowel, the rectal area, and a colonic empties the whole length of the large bowel. What is an enema? An enema involves putting warm water or sometimes a raw coffee […]

You often hear the phrase detoxing around this time of year. After the excesses of the festive period, people want to reverse the damage they have caused by overindulging on food and drink, and start their year with a blank slate health-wise. But, what is detoxing? And, why is it important to do? Read on […]

Taking time out to focus on my health and wellbeing
When the seasons start to shift, particularly from warm to cold, I always feel my mood change. The nights draw in, the temperatures fall, and I start to think about the year-end, particularly Christmas and all the extra things I have to do around this time. I do enjoy it, but I know how much […]
The benefits of taking activated charcoal
I’ve been a natural health therapist for more than 30 years now, and I have carried out tens of thousands of consultations and treatments in that time. One of my go-to supplements to ‘detox’ the stomach and gut is activated charcoal. I’ve always recommended a charcoal cleanse when the seasons change in March, June, September […]
Never mind the January blues, what about the January Poo!
I always say that I have a cast-iron digestive constitution. I think I get it from Gran on my mum’s side of our family. She had a very good appetite, often saying how she ‘lived to eat’. Gran was the gregarious one, a larger than life character – quite different to my quiet coal miner […]
Fasting is not a new fad
Fasting is not a new fad, and can be undertaken at any time of the year, from 1 day to 30 days. However, the perfect time to begin any fast is at the beginning of January, just after Christmas, when many of us are willing to abstain from food for a while, quite simply because […]
