One year on – an update on Sam’s journey back to wellness
When Sam first contacted me at the beginning of 2021, she was, to use her words, ‘falling apart’. She had been struggling with IBS for a long time, but I needed to go back to when she was 15 years old to understand where her tummy troubles stemmed from. She became quite poorly with glandular […]

My January ‘digestive reset’ – for increased energy, health, and healing
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 […]
10 top tips for detoxing and cleansing after Christmas
First, lighten up your toxin load. Eliminate alcohol, coffee, cigarettes, refined sugars, and saturated fats, all of which act as toxins in the body and are obstacles to your healing process. Also, minimise the use of chemical-based household cleaners and personal health care products (cleansers, shampoos, deodorants and toothpastes), and substitute natural alternatives. Eat plenty […]
You can’t drug yourself to better health!

Is food poisoning dangerous?
An attack of food poisoning can be pretty grim, and more than half a million of us have to deal with it every year. That’s the official figure – the true number is probably even higher, as many won’t bother their GP about it. Typically, symptoms don’t last longer than a few days, however, in […]
Colonoscopy – It’s only your bum – don’t be dumb, go and get tested!
My most recent Facebook Live event featured a very special guest – my husband, Kevin. Earlier this year, following a 7-month delay due to Covid, Kevin’s bowel cancer screening test came back positive. Kevin had to have a colonoscopy, followed by a procedure to have several polyps removed. We wanted to highlight the importance of […]
Immune boosting tips for children
It comes as no surprise to me that scientists are concerned that the measures we’ve had to take in order to combat Covid-19 have weakened the immune systems of young children who have not been able to build up resistance to common bugs, leaving them vulnerable now that mask-wearing and social distancing have come to […]

What is Lichen Sclerosus and can I get cancer from it?

Has poor gut health affected your mental health?
One in four of us will experience a mental health problem at some point in our lives. But even though conditions which affect our mood are relatively commonplace, we still don’t really know what causes them. It’s likely due to a complicated combination of factors for most people.
