𝗢𝗿𝗴𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗰 𝗙𝗼𝗼𝗱: 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗜𝗻𝘃𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗼𝗿 𝗝𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗛𝘆𝗽𝗲?🍏✨

There’s been a lot of debate around organic food - some say it’s just expensive marketing, while others swear by it for better health. So, is it really worth it? Short answer: Yes! And here’s why...

✅ 𝗟𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿 𝗧𝗼𝘅𝗶𝗰 𝗟𝗼𝗮𝗱 - Organic foods reduce your exposure to pesticides, which can disrupt hormones and impact overall health (especially in midlife).
✅ 𝗕𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗚𝘂𝘁 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵 – Fewer chemicals mean a happier gut microbiome, which plays a huge role in digestion, metabolism, and even mood.
✅ 𝗛𝗶𝗴𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗡𝘂𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁 – Some studies suggest organic produce contains more antioxidants and beneficial plant compounds.
✅ 𝗕𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗲𝘁 – Organic farming supports soil health and biodiversity.

That said, organic isn’t always accessible or affordable for everyone. So if you’re choosing where to invest, start with the “Dirty Dozen”—the foods most likely to have high pesticide residues (like berries, spinach, and apples).

Hello Friends - it's been a while! Life has been full-on lately, but I'm finally coming up for air.

One thing that's been on my mind (especially in the middle of the night) is sleep. Falling asleep is rarely an issue, but staying asleep? Different story entirely!

I've been trying a few things to help, and one I'm really loving is Reishi mushrooms ☕ They help calm the nervous system, support hormone balance, and seem to be making a real difference. A hot cup of Reishi tea before bed is my new little ritual 🌙✨

Have you tried it? Or do you have a go-to trick for better sleep? I'd love to hear!

This weekend, I braved the busy markets and found some amazing marinated veggies preserved in extra virgin olive oil—delicious! But wow, the crowds reminded me how overwhelming this season can get.

One quick trick I use to stay grounded: box breathing. Inhale for 4 seconds, hold for 4, exhale for 4, and hold again for 4. Just one minute can help you reset.

Be it Autumn's tranquility or spring's promise of renewal—wherever you are, given it’s Stress Awareness Month it seems like an excellent time to explore stress-free strategies, relaxation science, and the wonders of brain adaptation.

🧠 𝑼𝒏𝒅𝒆𝒓𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒏𝒅𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑺𝒕𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒔 🧠
Stress isn't one-size-fits-all; it's a personalized journey shaped by genetics and gut health. Understanding these factors leads to tailored stress management, making it more manageable.

💆‍♀️ 𝑻𝒊𝒎𝒆 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒂 𝑴𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒂𝒍 𝑴𝒂𝒔𝒔𝒂𝒈𝒆 💆‍♀️
Research reveals that consensual touch isn't just about reducing stress—it's a nurturing experience for our brains. Let's embrace this relaxation and share those feel-good vibes.

🧠 𝑱𝒐𝒖𝒓𝒏𝒆𝒚𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑻𝒉𝒓𝒐𝒖𝒈𝒉 𝑴𝒆𝒎𝒐𝒓𝒚 🧠
Our brains are like curious explorers, navigating the intricate pathways of synaptic plasticity. They gather memories and forge connections, creating a tapestry of experiences.

🌍 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑷𝒆𝒂𝒄𝒆𝒇𝒖𝒍 𝑪𝒐𝒏𝒏𝒆𝒄𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝒐𝒇 𝑶𝒖𝒓 𝑬𝒏𝒗𝒊𝒓𝒐𝒏𝒎𝒆𝒏𝒕 🌍
Our surroundings hold a powerful influence on our mental well-being, acting as a tranquil retreat from the complexities of life.

🧬 𝑬𝒑𝒊𝒈𝒆𝒏𝒆𝒕𝒊𝒄𝒔 𝒊𝒏 𝑶𝒖𝒓 𝑾𝒆𝒍𝒍𝒏𝒆𝒔𝒔 𝑱𝒐𝒖𝒓𝒏𝒆𝒚 🧬
As we navigate stress-free strategies, epigenetics quietly orchestrates this symphony of well-being. It shapes our personalized stress responses, memory formation, and the profound link between our environment and mental health.

𝑾𝒉𝒂𝒕’𝒔 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒈𝒐-𝒕𝒐 𝒘𝒂𝒚 𝒕𝒐 𝒓𝒆𝒅𝒖𝒄𝒆 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒔𝒕𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒔 𝒍𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒍𝒔? 𝑷𝒍𝒆𝒂𝒔𝒆 𝒔𝒉𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒊𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒎𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒔 𝒃𝒆𝒍𝒐𝒘 💎🌻🧘‍♀️

Three things I found useful when making a tree-change recently:

Clarify Your Motivation: clearly define why you’re making this change. Understanding your motivations will help you stay focused and committed.

Continuous Learning and Adaptability: stay open to learning and adaptability. Embrace the new skills and knowledge required for your change, whether it’s a career switch or a move to a different environment.

Mindful Self-Care: prioritise self-care to maintain your physical and mental well-being. Whether it’s through meditation, exercise, or other personal practices, taking care of yourself ensures you have the resilience and energy needed to navigate the opportunities that come with change.

If you made a big life change, what would it be? A tree-change, a sea-change, maybe even a country change? I’d love to know!

Check the graphics for three reasons why I avoid reading/watching the news on tv/newspapers, on account of what neuroscientists have termed, the ‘negativity bias’.

Of course I still stay in touch largely through social media but I generally steer clear of newspapers and televised news. What are your thoughts on this? I’d love to know 💻✍🏻👇

Let’s talk about ….. negative ions …. are molecules floating in the air or atmosphere that have been charged with electricity. Negative ions exist in nature in tons of places, including: ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun.

Generally, negative ions are good things, but if your body is sensitive, you might experience uncomfortable symptoms.

It's the same with everything….. the right foods, exercises, and relationships can be amazing for your health, but overdose on the wrong ones, and you'll start to struggle...

But here's the burning question: How much is too much? Well, it really depends on who you are... 🤔

Your body is absolutely unique—some people may thrive on negative ions, while others simply need a balanced check!

So, which category do you fall into? If you already know your ph360 HealthType, you may be aware that if you're a or a (like me), those cool forested areas full of negative ions can be an ideal health boost for you 😀 However, might not always benefit from the overload...

Curious to find out the most supportive environment for your body? Let me know if you'd like to discover your ph360 profile to find out what environments are best for your personal health journey 📲💪

Let's talk about... Personalised Health 💖

Scientists have discovered that each of us has a unique code that lies deep inside our body, in-built into our DNA – your biological source code that connects with your genes, influences your organ function, determines your hormone levels and emotions, and even communicates with your mind!

Last year, I was fortunate enough to train with ph360™, the world’s first personalised health platform based on epigenetics, and I'm now an Endorsed ph360™ Personalized Health Coach, to complement my training as a Nutritionist.

ph360™ delivers us the first platform to measure your gene expression, and gives advice based on what your body needs right now. The team of scientists looked at 20000 people over 15 years of research to understand how bodies differ, and how their needs differ.

When it comes to gene expression, we are all different. This platform measures that difference and then provides exact advice on the best foods, exercises, and behaviours to support your body’s preferred phenotype.

When your body changes, the platform will adjust your advice based on your new current needs or gene expression.

Because there are 7.5 billion people on the planet, there are many of us with similar (yet unique) features and functions, and because each of us falls into 1 of 6 regions on a chart, we can collectively refer to people sharing similar biology and physiology as sharing a similar HealthType™ ✨

Your HealthType™ can reveal all sorts of things about your body you’d wished you’d known earlier… like the best foods to eat, the best time to wake up or go to sleep, even which type of exercise will help you stay in shape!

It is the most comprehensive tool in health for understanding your unique biology ✨

Which are you?

Sugar - what a hard habit to kick!

If, like me, you find yourself indulging a bit too often in your favourite sweet treat, try predicting what your triggers are and plan to be busy doing something you love instead.

Number 4 in this list would be my favourite option - what's yours?
