Spring’s on its way so it's time to dust off those walking shoes and remind your legs what they’re for.

The research is hardly shocking: walking is good for you. We’re designed to move, not glue ourselves to our desk chairs.

Better yet, your brain loves it. A brisk walk lights up areas linked to attention, motivation, and even helps dial down that sting of criticism.

If you want a calmer, sharper brain, this is an easy first step!

Simple. Free. No fancy biohacking required. 🚶‍♂️

I have returned from an Ayurvedic health retreat and guess what I discovered… GHEE! 🧈✨

For the past month, I’ve been stirring 1/3 teaspoon into my morning hot drink. Does it taste like a treat? Absolutely not. Does it work? Well, my seizures have noticeably decreased throughout October!

Now, don’t ditch your meds! This isn’t a revolutionary replacement. Think of it as giving your brain a little luxury.... clean, healthy fats to function better and repair faster.

Bonus: you can try herbal ghee with brain-boosting herbs for an extra punch.

Send me a DM if you want to know more!

💡 Did you know Zinc could help in managing epilepsy?

Many people with epilepsy have low zinc levels, and while scientists aren’t 100% sure why, some antiepileptic medications are a big culprit.

Adding zinc-rich foods to your diet can help protect your brain and can help reduce seizure risk.

(Yes, oysters… if you’re brave enough 😅)

I’ve put together a complete guide on my website with:
✅ Research on zinc & epilepsy
✅ Best food sources
✅ Supplement tips

💡 Did you know epilepsy has been around for at least 3,000 years? In Ancient India, it was called Apasmara, and they treated it naturally using plants. One superstar plant used was Bacopa Monnieri (Brahmi) 🌿

Research shows Brahmi can:
✨ Reduce brain inflammation
✨ Balance key brain chemicals
✨ Support stress regulation

Safe, natural, and backed by science, this ancient herb is still helping people today manage epilepsy.

Want to know how to use it, doses, and the research behind it? Check out my latest article on my website theepilepsycoach.com.

I get asked all the time: “What oil should I cook with?”

Vegetable oil sounds healthy… but most of these oils are highly processed, chemically unstable, and prone to oxidation.

The biggest offenders:
• Sunflower oil
• Canola oil
• Corn oil

When overheated and overused, these oils can:
→ Promote inflammation
→ Increase oxidative stress
→ Disrupt healthy brain cell signaling

Your brain is made mostly of fat. The quality of fat you eat matters.

The fix:
✔️ Choose stable fats
✔️ Use less oil overall when cooking
✔️ Avoid ultra-processed foods, which are ladened with refined oils

🧠 Better for your brain.
🩺 Better for your long-term health.
💰 Even better for your bank account.

💊 Are your seizure meds affecting you?

Do you know the side effects your antiepileptic medication might be causing? More importantly, are you doing anything to reduce them?

So many people just put up with side effects, or don’t even realise their medication might be behind mood changes, fatigue, or digestive issues.

The good news... There are natural ways to ease these side effects and make your life a lot more comfortable.

Send me a direct message about any side effects you’re experiencing from your meds, and I’ll see if we can reduce the severity.

Everywhere I look (books, research, even retreats) ginger and epilepsy keeps popping up. 🌿

In Ayurveda, the ancient Indian healing system, ginger has long been used for epilepsy, convulsions, mental fatigue, and more.

Fast forward to today, and modern research is catching up! Science is showing ginger really can support brain health and seizures. 🧠✨

Start small: sprinkle ginger powder in your meals, swap your coffee for ginger tea, or add it to your morning juice. Little changes, big potential! 🌱

🤯 Iodine deficiency can drive hyperactivity! So naturally, I went down a research rabbit hole to see how iodine and are linked…..and they are❗️

What did I found out? The thyroid is critical for function. Without enough iodine in your diet, your thyroid cannot produce its essential hormones, which can lead to an increase in seizure frequency and severity ⚡️

IMPORTANT: Ensure you are getting enough in your diet.

👉 Head to theepilepsycoach.com for the full article and healthy iodine source.

I was inspired to write a blog on extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) after my recent trip to Koronekes Olive Mill in Crete.

With so many types of olive oil such as extra virgin olive oil, virgin olive oil, pure olive oil, and light olive oil, it can be hard to justify spending more on a good quality EVOO.

In my blog, I outline the benefits of EVOO, how to determine whether it is good quality, and whether it is worth spending the extra cash on this type of olive oil.
