Your liver isn’t the only one doing detox duty — your bile plays a starring role too.
Bile isn’t just for digesting fats — it’s one of the most powerful ways your body clears out used estrogen and other hormones.
💫 Without enough bile flow, these estrogen metabolites can re-circulate, leading to bloating, PMS, heavy periods, mood swings, and stubborn weight gain.

✨ Support your bile, support your balance.

Your vagus nerve is like the body’s reset button. A high vagal tone means your nervous system can quickly shift out of stress mode and into rest, digest, and heal mode. This balance lowers inflammation, steadies your heart, improves digestion, and boosts mood. Supporting vagal tone isn’t just about calm—it’s about resilience, energy, and long-term health.

Your genes may load the gun, but your lifestyle pulls the trigger. 🔬🔥

Weight loss resistance isn’t just about willpower — it’s a complex interaction between your genes (like the FTO gene), your environment, and your habits.

✔️ Understand your unique biology
✔️ Don’t blame one SNP
✔️ Focus on what you can control — food, movement, sleep, stress, and mindset

✨ Empower your health through epigenetics, not just genetics.

The Gut-Liver Axis: Your Body’s Silent Superhighway

The gut-liver axis is the communication system between your gut and liver.
Everything absorbed in your intestines flows to the liver via the portal vein.

Why It Matters
Your gut health directly affects how well your liver detoxifies—and vice versa.

Red Flags
Bloating or burping
Skin issues (acne, rosacea)
PMS or hormonal swings
Brain fog or fatigue
Constipation or loose stools.

Causes of Disruption
Leaky gut
Processed foods
Alcohol
Gut infections (SIBO, Candida)
Toxin overload

How to Support It
1. Eat fibre (flaxseeds, chia, veggies)
2. Add fermented foods (yoghurt, kimchi)
3. Support bile flow (lemon, bitters)
4. Use herbs (milk thistle, dandelion)
5. Hydrate and sleep well

Your gut and liver are a team. Nourish them both.
Feeling off? Start by supporting your axis.
Ask me how💛

Nearly every tissue and organ has its own circadian rhythm, and collectively they are tuned to the daily cycle of day and night.
When these clocks are well synchronised, together with the Master clock-contained in the hypothalamus, the body maintains homeostasis😌…optimal energy levels, enhanced detoxification, cognitive performance and exceptional health. Are your circadian rhythms in tune🧐 🧠🫁🫀

Fascia is a thin casing of connective tissue that surrounds and contains every organ, blood vessel, bone, nerve fiber and muscle in place. Some people may experience a deep muscular pain on movement, often felt as painful knots, known as trigger points.
Besides working with your therapist to reduce the pain, reducing inflammation by including foods rich in antioxidants anti-inflammatory nutrients, helps relieve this discomfort🥗🍆🍓🍒🥑🍍🥝🐟 Hydration helps as well💦
