Difficult to shift weight is so common and it’s a sign of metabolic syndrome. Where insulin resistance, inflammation, digestion issues, and liver issues combine contributing to a complex inflammatory response.

🌿Detoxification support with herbal medicine in my clinical experience; supports all of these aspects.
🌿Dandelion (Taraxacum officinale) supports reduced cholesterol, glucose balance , is an antioxidant, also supporting improved digestive function.
Detoxification and weight loss go hand in hand. When our digestive system is out of balance, herbal
Medicines are brilliant addressing those layers to our health issues.

What looks like it’s healthy in in supermarkets means to me look closer.
The list on the left are some the ingredients of these vegan crackers.
Shocked by the fillers, additives, texture enhancing ingredients.

When we grow our own herbs it can change how affordable they become and increase accessibility. This is ginger 🫚, fresh from the garden so we don’t need to peel our ginger.
Increase plant and herbal medicine for our family, plant 🌱 some ginger roots in potted soil and water them regularly.

One common issue I see in my clinical practice is how we determine stool /poo normality. ❓What’s normal, what poo frequency is not best for me.,

Purple fruit and vegetables contain a common antioxidant called anthocyanins. A mouth full yes. These anthocyanins are prebiotics, food for our digestive microbiome. 👍🏽
Anthocyanins enhance the growth of lots of good gut bugs, and the downstream potential are reduced bone loss, heart ❤️ healthiness , and nervous system buffers.

Where do I get these? Think purple cabbage, purple grape 🍇, passion fruit peel, bilberry, cranberry, & blueberry 🫐 to name a few.
