You are what you absorb!

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.

But for roughly one in four food-poisoning sufferers, symptoms can linger – and linger and linger. […]
Probiotics – not just safe during pregnancy, they’re essential!

Stop winter viruses and infections with a healthy and balanced immune system

Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) – what everyone should know
Recently, I’ve noticed I’m getting more and more enquiries from people who’ve been diagnosed with Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) and are struggling to manage their symptoms.
