Supplements that resolved peri-meno symptoms
Hormonal changes that occur during perimenopause and menopause can trigger digestive, gut as well as other symptoms you may never have experienced before or exacerbate existing ones. This is what happened to Anita and her Coeliac Disease symptoms when she contacted me. Anita told me how the digestive symptoms that she had been managing to […]
Mother and daughter’s symptoms resolved!
In this video I share the story of Helen and her daughter, both of whom had struggled for a long time with digestive issues – Helen with ongoing IBS symptoms and recurring diverticulitis, and her daughter with a persistent cough due to silent reflux. Four years ago, both Helen and her daughter started to take […]
Another IBS success story!
The way we think and how we feel can hugely impact on our digestion. There is a large connection between our brain, our mood and our ability to break down food. In high stress situations, when the body is in ‘fight or flight mode’ we do not prioritise digestive processes. This can lead to less […]
Why are older women more prone to UTIs?
Women become more prone to developing urinary tract infections (UTIs) as they grow older due a number of reasons, including female anatomy, hormonal changes, medications, a weaker immune system and menopause. If a UTI is overlooked or even mistaken for other conditions, and if left untreated, it can spread elsewhere. An untreated infection can get […]
Acid reflux fixed!
We all get a bit of heartburn from time to time, particularly if we’ve overindulged, but I am hearing from more and more people who are struggling with acid reflux symptoms on a daily basis, impacting their quality of life, and having to take strong proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) to manage their discomfort. In this […]
Can intercourse cause a urinary tract infection? Watch the video!
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are common in sexually active individuals. Even so, there can be some confusion among women about UTIs, especially regarding the link between the infections and sex. I talk more how they are linked in this video, as well as explaining why a UTI can occur after sexual intercourse and how you […]
Can constipation cause UTIs?
To their consternation, many menopausal women can suddenly develop constipation, as a result in the change in their hormones slowing down transit time in their bowels. Whenever I’m contacted by a woman who is getting recurring UTIs, one of the questions I ask is ‘Do you also suffer with constipation?’ Your rectum and your colon […]
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 […]
Balance your bacteria to banish UTIs!
A urinary tract infection (UTI) can happen to anyone of any age, even babies. However, the most common victims of UTIs are women – older women, in particular. Women are about 10 times more likely than men to get a UTI and close to 60% of women will experience one or more UTIs in their […]
Is menopause to blame for my gut symptoms?
Twenty years ago, we never talked about the menopause. We euphemistically talked about ‘the change’, but never talked openly about the transition that affects 51% of our population at some point in their lives. Along with this were jokes about hot flushes and accompanying elbow nudges and eye rolls, leading to unhelpful stereotyping of women […]
Omega 3 – Superstar skin supplement
Seeing as it’s National Eczema Week, I thought it would be an opportune time to take a closer look at how eczema and other skin conditions can be managed through diet and supplementation. Anyone that has an auto-immune related skin issue, especially eczema and psoriasis, should take a probiotic and get plenty of natural, anti-inflammatory […]
Omega 3 for a better menopause
Omega 3 is an essential fatty acid that can play a major role in improving the menopausal transition. Its many health benefits make an impressive line-up; from our hearts to our minds and every cell in between, omega 3s contribute to every inch of our bodies, both externally and internally, in terms of health. Studies […]
