What is Lichen Sclerosus and can I get cancer from it?
My most recent Facebook Live event veered slightly off the usual path of digestive and gut health. While all things ‘tummy-related’ are my speciality, I have a strong interest in anything that affects the health of women. In my years of experience as a natural health practitioner, I have treated tens of thousands of people, […]

Is it IBS or ovarian cancer?
I’ve put this blog post together because women need to understand that one of the symptoms of ovarian cancer is bloating. Bloating that’s related to ovarian cancer may cause visible swelling in the abdomen and your belly might feel full, puffy, or hard. The problem is that if you’ve been diagnosed with IBS, how do […]
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. Unfortunately, when diagnosed, they get very little in the way of support from their GP to help them reverse this condition, yet it is reversible if caught early enough. […]
For Women live bacteria – a natural solution for recurrent UTIs
When I received the following message from Chris about how my Just For Tummies ‘For Women’ capsules had made such an enormous difference to her urinary and gut health, it really struck a chord with me.

Beat menopausal bloating and acid reflux with Digestive Enzymes
When I received the following message from Louise, I felt compelled to share it, for both its positive outcome and message of hope. It’s a simple illustration of how helpful Digestive Enzymes can be for anyone experiencing bloating and acid reflux, particularly women going through the menopause. I don’t consider myself to be an expert […]

Love Your ‘Lady Bits’
A Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) is one of the most common infections among women. This doesn’t stop it being a nuisance, with what can sometimes be unbearable pain. And while a UTI may start as a seemingly harmless condition you need not worry about, it can quickly turn into a nightmare when not managed well. […]
UTI prevention for the over 45’s
A Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) is one of the most common infections among women, but that doesn’t stop it from being a nuisance, with what can sometimes be unbearable pain. And, while a UTI may start as a seemingly harmless condition you need not worry about, it can quickly turn into a nightmare when not […]
Stomach Acid – why it’s so important to your health
Ever since I first went into clinical practice almost 29 years ago, I’ve been alarmed at the increasing number of people taking strong proton pump inhibitor drugs (PPIs) like omeprazole or lansoprazole for conditions that would probably respond very well to some dietary and lifestyle changes. My sense of alarm increases further when I see […]
What you need to know about Candida
There are many kinds of fungus that live in the human body, normally without causing any issues, and often helping it to function. But, there are times when these fungi can begin to cause problems. In this article I’m going to focus on one of these fungi – Candida. Discover what happens when it begins […]
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 […]
Do we really need to be taking so many pills?
Are you worried about the sheer number of different medications so many people – particularly the older members of your family – are taking on a daily basis? There has been a staggering threefold increase in the number of prescriptions issued by GPs in the UK in the last fifteen years, with millions now committed […]
Pregnancy, antibiotics and baby’s immune system
From the moment you fall pregnant, your body starts to change; what you might not know is that these changes can lead to an increased risk of picking up an infection, which can mean needing to take a course of antibiotics. Certain macrolide antibiotics have the potential to cause congenital abnormalities in newborns. The four […]
Get rid of urinary tract infections (UTIs), thrush and bacterial vaginosis with my probiotic pessaries
Those of you who have been part of my ‘Tummy health community’ for a while now will probably be familiar with the idea that a healthy balance of good and bad bacteria – or microflora – is vital to gut health. Some may not realise, however, that properly balanced microflora are just as important for […]
