"What most people don’t realize is that food is not just calories: It’s information. It actually contains messages that communicate to every cell in the body." – Dr. Mark Hyman

Your body isn't just fed by food - it's informed by it.

Every bite you take sends signals:
🧬 to your genes
🧠 to your brain
🔥 to your metabolism
💪 to your immune system

At Gordian Health, we see food as more than fuel - it’s a language. One that tells your body how to heal, energise, and thrive.

✨ Choose foods that speak life.
✨ Nourish in a way that builds vitality from the inside out.

Because your body is always listening.

We all tend to forget things as we get older. MCI is a deterioration in brain function beyond what would normally be expected for your age, but not severe enough to be considered dementia. It's also sometimes called early cognitive decline. It can affect memory, learning, language, information processing, decision-making, concentration and clarity of thought. Those with MCI can carry out normal daily activities and look after their own affairs. However, there may be increased reliance on memory aids such as lists, diaries, and notes to self. More than two thirds of people with MCI have what's called amnesic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI), but other mental functions can be affected. Normal aging doesn't usually affect long-term memory, recognition, intelligence or decision making.

Today, we honour the memory of those who gave everything - not for glory, but for future generations.

It’s a moment to reflect not just on history, but on humanity.

🕊️ The weight of silence
🕊️ The cost of peace
🕊️ The power of remembrance

At Gordian Health, we acknowledge that wellness isn’t just about the body - it’s about the soul.
And remembrance is an act of collective healing.

Let us pause.
Let us be still.
Let us never forget.

Schisandra.
What is it?
An adaptogen prepared from the berries of Schisandra chinensis, a deciduous shrub that's native to Russia and China. The shrub has oval leaves and plentiful bright red berries, and is cultivated as an ornamental plant throughout the world. Used in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), it's also called "wu-wei-zi" - five flavour fruit as it contains all the basic flavours (salty, sweet, sour, pungent and bitter).The berries contain a wide range of potentially active ingredients, but the most important are the schisandrins (A, B, C and D). These are polyphenol compounds called lignans that are antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and immune-boosting. Schisandra can improve the health of virtually every organ in the body. Cardioprotective, neuroprotective, anti-inflammatory and anti­cancer properties have all been described but don't get too excited, we need more evidence from human studies to confirm the benefits!

Over a third of us will experience an anxiety disorder during our lifetime. These disorders can be a minor inconvenience but, on the other hand, can dominate our life and impair our quality of life. Anxiety disorders include generalised anxiety disorder (GAD), social anxiety disorder (SAD), panic attacks, agoraphobia, and other specific phobias. Medication may be needed when the problem is severe, However, supplements and other measures under your control might help you avoid drugs treatment or if you need them, make drugs more effective.

EPO is prepared from the seeds of Oenothera biennis, a flowering plant that's native to North America but which now grows widely in temperate and subtropical regions. The active ingredient is gamma­linolenic acid (GLA) which is converted in the body into prostaglandins with anti-inflammatory properties. GLA is an omega-6 fatty acid. In fact, evening primrose seeds contain only about l 0% GLA but they contain about 70% linolenic acid (LA) which is converted into GLA in the body. Native Americans used evening primrose oil to heal skin lesions and wounds. It has been used in Europe at least since the 17th century when its anti-inflammatory properties earned it the name "the King's cure all"

Vitamin A is one of four fat-soluble vitamins. It is, in fact, a complex group of compounds. It comes in two forms in the diet - preformed vitamin A (retinol and retinyl ester) which is mainly from animal products and vitamin A precursors (carotenoids) which are mainly from plant sources. The active forms of vitamin A in the body are retinol, retinal and retinoic acid. The recommended daily intake for a woman is 700 mcg retinol equivalent (2,333 IU) and for a man 900 mcg retinol equivalent (3000 IU). 300 - 600 mcg for children and adolescents.

Our Story

Gordian Health was founded by Fiona and Lee Kennedy five years ago. We saw a need for a new approach to helping our clients with their health and fitness. We wanted to make use of our training and experience in nursing, medicine, fitness, nutrition and project management. Our approach is client centred and enabling. Evidence-based wherever possible and integrative – using knowledge that cuts across many disciplines. It is not just about the two of us trying to help you get the best of your health. It is about working with other partitioners who are also trying to help you and about introducing you to our associates when we think that they may be able to help you.

Why Gordian? Alexander the Great (356 – 323 BC) was one of the most powerful people in history. In 333 BC he entered the town of Gordium in Anatolia. There, he found a cart tied to a column. The knot in the rope was extremely complex with twist and turns that had no beginning and no end. Legend had it that whoever could undo the knot would rule all of Asia. Alexander studied the knot, drew his sword and cut right through it. The rest is history! Cutting the Gordian knot has come to mean adopting a bold approach to problem solving. And that is exactly what we try to do at Gordian Health.
