Stop viruses and infections with a healthy and balanced immune system
For as long as I can remember, everyone in my family has taken live bacteria probiotic capsules. This includes my daughter-in-law who has recently given birth to my first grandchild, and who took my Live Bacteria capsules and Omega 3 capsules every day of her pregnancy, as well as my mother who is now almost […]
How to recover from over-indulgence at Christmas
I hope you have had a lovely, relaxing Christmas. And, more to the point, did your tummy survive the season of indulgence? I hope that some of the tips I shared in my Christmas Survival Guide, and in my two blog posts on bloating enabled you to enjoy a few festive treats and avoid unpleasant […]
How to prevent festive bloating
Nutritionally speaking, the festive season is a total shock to the system. Suddenly we’re eating large roast dinners with rich desserts, devouring endless boxes of chocolates, and drinking countless glasses of champagne. December is, without doubt, the month when our digestive system takes its biggest hit with all the feasting. And while Christmas is a […]
What causes bloating?
We’ve all been there – overindulged on all the festive food and wound up feeling like a stuffed turkey, in the most uncomfortable of ways. Stomach bloating is a common problem that occurs after eating too much. So it’s not really surprising if you feel permanently puffed up at the moment, with all the office […]
Have a tummy trouble-free festive season with my Christmas Survival Kit
If you’re anything like me, you like to enjoy a festive treat or two. My personal indulgences are Anton Berg chocolate liqueurs, Drambuie on the rocks, Marks & Spencer’s mulled wine, my mum’s mince pies and sausage meat stuffing, sugared almonds (although I do have to be careful of my dental work!), and a nice […]
Keep your tummy happy this Christmas
I can’t believe that we are coming to the end of another year – and that Christmas is almost upon us! I always feel a slight sense of panic at this time of the year. I begin to worry about how I’m going to get everything done – buying and wrapping gifts, shopping for all […]
The benefits of taking charcoal
I’ve been a natural health therapist for over 28 years and have carried out over 100,000 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 and December for a general […]

Seasonal Survival Starts Now! The festive period is by far my busiest time of the year, both in my digestive health clinic and with Just For Tummies. I think it’s a real shame that for many, Christmas and the New Year festivities can be a source of stress and anxiety. People who suffer with digestive […]
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 […]
Get your New Year (and your tummy) off to a great start with 25% off
With 2018 drawing to a close, it’s an ideal time to think about the new year and what you want to bring into your life. Around this time, I like to open a new journal and write down my goals, my dreams and my aspirations for the coming year. Here’s one affirmation that I have […]
Don’t let the killjoys ruin Christmas!
My vegan and gluten-free Live Bacteria probiotic capsules are my best seller on Just For Tummies, but hot on its heels are my plant-based gluten-free Digestive Enzyme tablets, and that’s not surprising, especially at this time of the year. I certainly wouldn’t be without my magic little tablets. I carry a small pill pot around […]
Seasonal Survival Starts Now!
Seasonal Survival Starts Now! The festive period is by far my busiest time of the year, both in my digestive health clinic and with my Just For Tummies supplement sales.

A seasonal, tummy-friendly soup – straight from the farmers’ market
A seasonal, tummy-friendly soup – straight from the farmers’ market. On Saturday, my mum and I went to one of our favourite farmers’ markets in the beautiful town of Bakewell in the Derbyshire Dales. The Bakewell Farmers’ Market is held on the last Saturday of the month in the agricultural hall, within spitting distance of […]
