💩The Polkadot Poo Test!

This is an easy test you can do at home to track your bowel transit time.

Before bed, swallow (don’t chew) 2 tablespoons of sesame seeds with water.
Watch for the sesame seeds to appear in your stool and count the hours.

💩 12 hours or less → Too fast: your body may not be absorbing nutrients well.

💩 24–36 hours → Just right: this is the healthy, balanced range.

💩 More than 36 hours → Too slow: sluggish transit can lead to fermentation, toxin reabsorption, liver congestion, and even hormone or mood changes.

This simple test shines a light on how efficiently your gut is working. If your results are outside the healthy window, it may be time to give your digestion some extra support.

Who is going to do the test?? Let me know how you go!

Your gut microbiome is an intricate community, consisting of trillions of microbes, or “gut bugs” residing in your digestive tract.

This bustling ecosystem plays a pivotal role in digesting food, synthesising essential nutrients and regulating the immune system.

The diversity and composition of your microbial community is like a fingerprint, specific to you and reflecting your lifestyle, diet and environment.

If you want an assessment of your gut, I am now offering MetaXplore gastrointestinal microbiome testing.

Until the 29th November Co-Biome is offering my clients 20% off a comprehensive gastrointestinal analysis.

Email me if you would like to take the test!

Q. Why is bowel transit time so important? 💩

A. Your digestion is more than just “what goes in must come out.”

The speed at which food moves through your gut (known as bowel transit time) can tell us a lot about nutrient absorption, detoxification, and overall wellbeing.

🫐 Blueberry Walnut Chocolate Cups

This delicious recipe features foods that are great for your brain health. 🧠

1 tablespoon coconut oil
250g dark chocolate, coarsely chopped
1 tablespoon chia seeds
½ cup blueberries
2 tablespoons walnuts, finely chopped

Line a muffin tray with liners or use a silicone muffin tray. In a saucepan over low heat, melt the coconut oil and chocolate, continuously stirring. Remove from the heat and stir in the chia seeds.

Divide the chocolate mixture between the muffin cups. Top each with equal amounts of blueberries and walnuts, gently pressing them into the chocolate. Chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. Enjoy!

Note: use a dark chocolate with a high cacao percentage and no artificial additives, for the best results. This is the one I recommend: https://tinyurl.com/BIBCHOC (aff)

🧠 Is dementia prevention being left too late?

Signs of Mild Cognitive Impairment can begin in your 40s — long before doctors act.

Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) can begin as early as in our 40s, yet doctors often don’t have much to offer until symptoms start to impact daily life perhaps a decade later.

This is a big area of interest for me, because prevention is where we can make the greatest difference.

Medical research has poured billions into searching for a “magic pill” to treat dementia — but with over 400 failed clinical trials, it’s clear that one pill is not the answer.

As neurologist Dr Dale Bredesen explains, it’s like having 36 holes in the roof: a medication may patch one hole really well, but one doesn’t stop the rain coming in.

Stay tuned this month as I share some more information with you!

If you are having trouble with your digestion, liquid bitter herbs like gentian, dandelion root and meadowsweet can be taken before a meal.

These are more targeted and convenient if you don’t love to eat bitter foods.

If you would like to try a liquid herbal bitter digestive mix let me know and I will prescribe this for you on the Natural Chemist online dispensary.

If you feel like your body could benefit from a gentle cleanse now we are well into Spring, you can start doing some basic things to reduce your toxic load:

👉 drinking more filtered water
👉 cutting out alcohol, sugar and processed foods
👉 increasing protein, fruits and vegetables
👉 increasing your movement
👉 moving your bowels at least once a day
