Transition into autumn with a 5-day Charcoal cleanse
I recommend a 5-day Charcoal cleanse four times a year, around the time the seasons change in September, December, March and June – and, if possible, around the time of a full moon. This year, the full moon will appear on 29th September. The idea that the moon has the power to influence our thoughts […]
Happy Hormone Hummus – download our free recipe!
I would like to share this delicious, and very easy to prepare hummus recipe with you. It’s a great source of phytoestrogens, compounds that naturally occur in plants that can be of particular benefit to perimenopausal or menopausal women. You are likely consuming phytoestrogens already and simply don’t know it – especially if you are […]

Anyone for scones? Enjoy a healthier afternoon tea!
August is the month when we celebrate National Afternoon Tea Week – not that we need an excuse for this quintessential English tradition. I think this Henry James quote sums it up perfectly: “There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea.” Traditional afternoon tea […]
Are your cleaning products harming your gut health?
Did you know that the human body contains approximately 30 trillion human cells and is home to around 38 trillion bacteria? No need to panic – you can take comfort in knowing that many bacteria in your body are, in fact, good bacteria. All the microorganisms in your body, including bacteria, make up your microbiota. […]
August is ‘Happiness Happens Month’!
Happiness Happens Month is celebrated annually in August. It is dedicated to celebrating things that make you happy. It’s a known fact that happiness is contagious and sharing your happiness can bring a smile to someone’s face.

How good oral health can prolong your life
I was born and raised in the coal mining fields of Nottinghamshire. My mum always ensured that my sister, brother and I had regular dental check-ups. However, the NHS dentist in our mining town was, in my opinion, a charlatan as he would drill the healthy teeth of children and then proceed to fill them […]
My labour of love
This is a photo of me and my Just For Tummies supplements ‘hot off the press’ when we launched the range at the Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) show in 2015 – I remember how excited and hopeful I felt at the time, and I think the photo shows that too! I started Just For […]
How to age well – and live longer!
Do you feel as good now as you did at age 40? How about at age 50? I’m 63 – I sometimes have to shake myself and wonder how quicky I came to be this age! It reminds me of Jools Holland and his Rhythm & Blues Orchestra singing ‘Enjoy yourself, it’s later than you […]
Is food making you ill?
In 1950, less than 1 per cent of the UK population was clinically obese. Today, that figure stands at 28 per cent, and 64 per cent are either overweight or obese. Added to that, nearly 10 per cent of 4-5-year olds are obese, and by age 10-11, this figure rises to 21%. What makes these […]

While the weather in the UK may have other ideas, holiday season is upon us! I am looking forward to a family trip to Spain this summer; it will my first trip abroad since the pandemic, and I know I have fallen out of the habit of packing and preparing for a holiday, so I […]
How reflexology can help IBS symptoms – watch the video!
Reflexology can be of significant benefit to you when trying to pinpoint areas in your body that are not working as they should be. It’s a particularly effective treatment when it comes to helping to increase blood flow and stimulation to the digestive system and decrease stress to that area of your body. With that […]
The best exfoliating sponge ever!
Your skin naturally sheds dead skin cells to make room for new cells every 30 days or so. Sometimes, dead cells don’t shed completely. This can result in dry, flaky patches and clogged pores. Exfoliating can help prevent this. I have been exfoliating my skin for over 40 years and I can highly recommend it […]
