HTMA is Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis, it is where using a small amount of your hair we can test for mineral deficiencies, and reflects the level of nutrients and toxic elements.
It’s a fantastic method of testing as it’s non invasive and thorough. Minerals are essential for health, healing and wellbeing and provide support for all bodily functions. If you have tried different methods, supplements to regain health and vitality and still coming up with no results then perhaps a HTMA may benefit you to take away the guess work and regain your spark.

Magnesium what form are you taking?
What form have you tried?
Did you find it beneficial? Or did you notice no difference at all?
Too often I hear the latter which then leads me to my question which ones have you tried?

You see magnesium comes in a range of different forms and some are more easily digested and absorbed than others, so if you have tried magnesium before with little to no benefit then perhaps you should give a different type a go and see the improvements 😊

Sleep is regulated by our body’s circadian rhythm and controls our sleep wake cycle, the natural light-dark cycles of our day helps to regulate this.
having exposure to the early morning sunlight helps this process along as it aids melatonin production. I like going for my walks early for this reason, it also helps to wake me up 🥱
Also lowering our level of blue light exposure will also assist melatonin production. Blue light exposure reduces the amount of melatonin we produce resulting in difficulties falling and staying asleep.
I hope you find this information useful 😀

Below are some ideas for creating space for a better nights sleep. Turning off all electronics earlier in the evening leads to a calmer mind, just as kids have a wind down routine before bed so should us adults as it gives our body the message that it’s time to wind down and switch off.

Investing in yourself may look different for everyone, it may be taking an exercise class or going to the gym, it might be reading a book, laying out in the sun, booking in that massage, visiting a naturopath or herbalist, or just following through with a checkup for the dr or dentist….whatever it is just know that investing in yourself is important with no guilt attached.

The body you have is the only body you get so looking after it should be one of the top priorities on your list….your body, mind and soul will thank you for it 😊

Have a great day ☀️

The brassica family of vegetables are one of the most nutrient dense foods you can eat, they are packed full of vitamins and minerals and disease fighting phytochemicals

Brassicas contain key nutrients that assist with phase I and II liver detoxification.
Brassicas help to balance oestrogen levels and alleviate symptoms associated with oestrogen dominance including PMS, weight gain, irregular and heavy periods.
Brassicas hormone balancing effect is due to a substance called indole-3-carbinol which helps to regulate oestrogen metabolism.

Some people can experience digestive disturbances like bloating and excess gas so just be mindful of the amount of brassicas you eat in one sitting, this is due to the high amount of sulphur they contain and sulphur is broken down in the large intestine, it is also due to the bacteria that feed off the fibre in the large intestine.
Sipping on apple cider vinegar before a meal or taking a digestive enzyme can assist with digestion improving side effects, but don’t let this put you off, brassicas are amazing for not only our gut health but for our overall well-being

If you are stressed about the food your about to eat causing you symptoms then you are almost guaranteed to get those symptoms you’ve been trying to avoid.
Mindset is everything and relaxing before you eat helps considerably.
One way is taking 5 deep breaths before you eat to really relax your nervous system, take time and don’t rush down your food.
Remember variety with our food is everything in order to have a happy healthy gut 🌸

I see so many people worried about the calorie content or macro breakdown of the food they are consuming that they end up making food choices based on that solely.

Creating a healthier mindset and relationship with what we consume is so important not just nutritionally but emotionally and mentally
