Some of these changes can make you prone to nutrient deficiencies, while others can affect your senses and quality of life. However, many of these changes can be reduced […]
Manage Crohn’s and Colitis successfully (IBD)
Did you know that inflammatory bowel disease also known as IBD is sometimes called an ‘invisible illness’ because symptoms like abdominal pain and fatigue are difficult for others to see?

I would like to share the following review from Deborah, as her struggles with her digestive health highlight the scientifically proven correlation between levels of stress and quality of life; more specifically in the context of gut health and gastrointestinal related disorders, which are suffered by 40% of us at any given time.

Live Bacteria or For Women – which probiotic is right for you?
When I developed my Live Bacteria capsules, I chose strains of bacteria that were the perfect match to help resolve IBS symptoms, painful bloating, constipation, and acid reflux.

You are what you absorb!
We all know, well at the least the gardeners amongst us know, that the strength of a tree does not lie in its limbs or branches, but in its roots. Every persistent malfunction in the digestive system will, sooner or later, eventually impact the entire body, in the same way that a disease in a […]

Mouth-watering low FODMAP Lamb Stew recipe
If you’ve suffered with IBS, you will probably know what FODMAP stands for.

No more IBS flare-ups for Zoe – thanks to the Perfect Balance Kit
I’d like to share this wonderful testimonial that I received from 27-year-old IBS sufferer, Zoe, recently: “I have completed the Charcoal cleanse, which made me feel so fresh and happy. My stools were black, and I had wind, but this really wasn’t an issue. I started on the supplements in the 30-day Balance Kit straight […]
Detoxing – What’s it all about? (Video)
Spring brings new growth and regeneration, which makes it a great time to refresh our systems by carrying out a detox.

‘The only supplements that work!’ Read Sam’s story
I wanted to share Sam’s story because it is a perfect example of the type of enquiry I get – day in, day out. From people who have had symptoms for many years, made countless visits to their GP, undergone a barrage of tests, but still have no definite diagnosis or idea as to what […]
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. In most cases, the acute symptoms of food poisoning do pass within 24 hours and people can return to their regular lives. But for roughly one in four food-poisoning sufferers, symptoms can linger – and linger and linger. […]
April is IBS Awareness Month
If you have Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), you are not alone – IBS is common with prevalence estimated at 10% –15%.

During this time, both conventional and complementary health practitioners, […]

21 or 101 – look after your gut at ANY age!
When you reach a certain age, digestive problems can be a common occurrence. I’m sure you’ve all heard your older relatives or friends say something like, “I can’t eat the way I used to…” or “Rich food doesn’t agree with me”. However, digestive problems don’t always wait until our later years to strike. It’s becoming […]
