Wearing blue-light blocking glasses around the house when the sun goes down can protect melatonin production and support your circadian rhythm.

Evening exposure to blue light at night can send signals to us telling us its daytime and to suppress melatonin production.

Using digital devices such as smart phones, TVs, laptop computers, house lights and even the light inside our fridge are the biggest culprits and emit blue light.

Clinical studies have clearly demonstrated the benefits of blocking Blue light between 400nm and 550nm (the melatonin disruption zone of light)to improve your sleep, before bedtime (around 2-3 hours before bed).

An easy way to improve your health?

Don't make checking your phone the first thing you do in the morning.

🌞Get outside within 30 minutes of waking to catch some morning sunlight.

Even 5–20 minutes of daylight can significantly improve mood, metabolism and sleep.

This Easter, make sure you read your labels and avoid artificial vanilla.

Artificial vanilla (used in most chocolate to cover up the natural bitterness of chocolate) is one of the very worst preservatives for kids' behaviour!

Some of the European type chocolate brands may contain vanilla extract, or real vanilla bean which is worth hunting for!

Did you know?

Your body is designed to eat with the sun. 🌞

Enjoying your meals outside in natural light can help support healthy digestion and keep your internal clock aligned.

As evening falls, your biology begins to wind down. Glucose handling naturally declines after dark, meaning your body isn’t as efficient at managing blood sugar later at night.

When possible, eat in natural light and try to avoid meals after sunset. Aligning your food with daylight is a gentle but powerful way to support metabolic health and overall wellbeing.

🌞 Your body runs on a 24-hour internal clock, guided by a tiny part of your brain called the suprachiasmatic nucleus (your master timekeeper).

It uses light to synchronise every system in your body… even your gut.

Morning sunlight is the most powerful reset button. It boosts alertness during the day and helps you sleep more deeply at night.

Here’s the surprising part: most indoor lighting sits around 300–500 lux, while natural outdoor light ranges from 1,000 to 100,000 lux.

No wonder we feel flat - we’re living in a biologically dim world!

Stay tuned for more tips about your circadian rhythm this month.

This easy recipe is good for anyone who needs a gluten free, dairy free, vegan or vegetarian diet. Chickpea flour is sometimes sold as besan flour.

Mediterranean Chickpea Frittata 🍅🫒
Serves 2

Ingredients

¾ cup chickpea flour
¼ teaspoon baking powder
¾ cup water
¾–1 cup diced tomato
1 loosely packed cup chopped baby spinach
¼ cup sliced Kalamata olives
¼ cup loosely packed chopped basil (plus extra for garnish)
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 cup sliced avocado

Method
In a large bowl, whisk together the chickpea flour, baking powder and water until smooth. Add the tomatoes, spinach, olives, and basil and mix well.

Heat the oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Add the mixture, cover, and cook for eight to 10 minutes until the bottom is golden.

Cover the pan with a large upside-down plate, place your hand on it, and quickly turn the frittata over on the plate before gently sliding it back onto the pan. Cook for an additional five to eight minutes until fully cooked.

Top with sliced avocado and garnish with basil, if desired. Enjoy!

GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) is the hormone behind the buzz around Ozempic and Wegovy. It helps you feel full, slows digestion and supports stable blood sugar.

Effective, yes, but common side effects include nausea, reflux, constipation, muscle loss, gallbladder issues, and pancreatitis.

Did you know your body already makes GLP-1??

Beneficial gut bacteria such as Akkermansia muciniphila and Faecalibacterium prausnitzii help stimulate its release by producing short-chain fatty acids like butyrate, which signal the gut to increase GLP-1 naturally!!

Diets high in refined starches and simple sugars can reduce these microbes, creating dysbiosis and disrupting metabolic signalling.

Unfavourable microbial imbalances may even make your body extract double the amount of calories from food!

Please book in for an appointment if you want to support your metabolism, naturally!

Don't rely on labels!

Some meat sold as “grass-fed” is grain-finished before slaughter.

Ask your butcher whether meat is 100% grass-fed and finished, as choosing better quality makes a meaningful difference to your health.

If the kids (or you!) struggle with eating fruit and veggies, try presenting them in a different way.

A big crunchy apple might seem a bit too much for little kids, but star shapes can be fun and manageable. 🍏⭐️

What about these cute watermelon fries with coconut yoghurt dipping sauce? Swirl through some frozen organic raspberries for extra interest. 🍉
