Final day of the conference in Glasgow, and it’s made me pause and reflect a little whilst taking a sneaky lunch break in the sun.

For many years now, I’ve been a member of NRAS, something that started from wanting to feel less alone in my own Rheumatoid Arthritis diagnosis. Over time, my patient representative role has grown into something bigger.

Alongside this, I made the decision to retrain as a Nutritional Therapist, largely driven by my own experience and a desire to better understand how nutrition and lifestyle might support my health alongside medical treatment.

So it feels quite special to now have a double-page feature in the latest magazine.

The focus is something I care deeply about - that small, realistic changes can make a difference over time. Not replacing treatment, but supporting it, and helping people feel a little more informed and a little more in control.

If you’ve read it, I’d genuinely love to hear your thoughts.

Happy Thursday!

And yes the background bird song is real - no music added so you can enjoy it too ☺️☀️

Well my daughter definitely got that one wrong 🤣 oh jez where do I begin.

Yes - I did fully explain the menopause process, how it’s actually not the end but the start of the next phase of life - where females hopefully feel confident, free to be themselves, speak their minds and achieve their dreams!

Whether you are going through the transition or on the other side 💪🏻

Now off to ask that question again ….lets hope she gets it right this time 🙏🏻😜

Supplements, supplements, supplements - are your cupboards full of them? Today it seems that everyone is taking something and I speak to so many people, including friends and family, who are taking supplements based on something they’ve seen on social media or in a magazine with the comment saying “this worked for me.”

With pressures to stay well, look young and improve symptoms that are impacting your life, it's easy to make that purchase and add another to the pile.

But the truth is - we are all unique. What works for one person isn’t necessarily right for another.

While I always prefer a food-first approach, there are times when supplements are needed - whether due to deficiencies, increased nutritional demands, and/or certain life stages.

That said, supplements can be expensive, often come with subscription commitments, and when taken incorrectly, they may interact with each other or with medications - sometimes making symptoms worse, not better.

That’s where I come in.

I offer a personalised supplement review tailored to your individual biology, symptoms, and health goals. We’ll look at what you’re taking (or considering), check for interactions, assess dosing, and review when and how to take them for the best results.

Evidence-based. Focused. Designed for you.

Calm and ready to face the day - and two week Easter holiday. Whilst I felt relaxed and happy after my first session - and slept like a baby that night, this time I feel like it had more of an impact straight away. Eve had told me previously that some people, especially with chronic conditions like RA may not feel much change after session 1 - and I think that was me. This time I felt like I had just had a massage at a spa - I was in that calm, relaxed state and felt that nothing could annoy me. I had energy, making me feel motivated to on my to do list 💪🏻🙌🏻

Let’s hope it lasts 🙏🏻

Sending energy vibes to those that need it as I feel like I have plenty at the moment 😜

Recently I had by second Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) Treatment at with the lovely Eve. Situated next to it was fairly easy for me to just jump onto the train and walk to the clinic via all my old haunts (from another life).

I’ve been looking into it for a while with regards to potentially supporting my holistic approach to my own health, alongside my Rheumatoid Arthritis medication. One of the main symptoms of RA is fatigue, so I was interested to know whether the treatment would support improved energy - and if so, how long it would last.

The clinic was very peaceful - even spa like. I was there for about an hour - at first I sat with Eve to discuss my health conditions, any changes since my last treatment and how I had been feeling recently - both health-wise and generally (busy, juggling work/family life but happy). It’s important to be hydrated for the treatment so I made sure I drank the full glass of water provided.

The actual treatment lasted ~40mins. As soon as Eve found the right frequency and setting for me I could feel the tiredness creeping over me - I think I actually started to drift off as I was talking🙈…..My vagus nerve was definitely activated😜

If you are interested my frequency was 7.8Hz which is known as Schumann Resonance - and is inline with the Earth’s natural frequency. Everyone is different/unique - and each individual session may require a different frequency too. It’s fascinating.

For me, the treatment felt like someone is gently tapping me in various places over my body. Like a small child trying to get your attention. But in rhythm. I actually found it relaxing and it does not hurt in any way.

Straight after the treatment I felt calm and very relaxed. Eve sat with me chatting for a bit as I woke up, to ensure I was OK - before I headed back into the hustle and bustle of the city. Back to normal service!

It’s not just about what we eat… it’s also about how our cells function🔋

Linked to grounding, I’ve recently been exploring Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) therapy - a gentle, non-invasive way to support the body’s natural electrical activity 👉check out my recent post on grounding, which explains this in more detail).

When we’re stressed or inflamed, our cellular energy (ATP) can dip - a bit like a battery being drained or running low. PEMF works by delivering low-frequency electromagnetic pulses through the body, aiming to “recharge” our batteries and support normal cellular function.

You’re fully clothed during the treatment and all you have to do is simply lie down (or sit) and relax. And research suggests it may support:
• Energy (ATP) production & cell function
• Nervous system balance (rest, digest, reset)
• Sleep, stress & recovery
• Pain and inflammation (especially musculoskeletal)

I've been visiting my local clinic in London () to see for myself whether it could potentially help with Rheumatoid Arthritis.

My experience?
For me, it felt like a gentle tapping sensation - subtle, but deeply relaxing. I actually felt quite sleepy early on in the session and fell asleep (just hope I did not snore …eeek)😴 That night I slept deeply, sleeping through the night, and woke up without the usual hand pain I’d been experiencing. My mood felt lighter and more energised too.

Of course, everyone responds differently - but it’s a fascinating example of how supporting the body’s natural energy systems may play a role in our overall wellbeing.

Curious? Have you tried PEMF or something similar?

Receiving a medical diagnosis can feel overwhelming, emotional, and at times, isolating.

I understand this - because I’ve been there too🧡

While medication can play an important role in your recovery, many people are left with unanswered questions about how to support their wider health. Nutrition, lifestyle, and complementary approaches are often overlooked or discussed in a very generalised way.

Healthcare professionals work incredibly hard, but time, training, and system pressures can limit how much personalised guidance they’re able to offer beyond the immediate diagnosis.

That’s where I come in.

Together, we can explore the root causes of your symptoms, understand how to support your body alongside any treatment, and cut through the overwhelming noise of conflicting advice online.

This is about helping you feel informed, supported, and back in control of your health.

It’s not a quick fix - but it is a powerful first step.

If you’re ready to feel heard, understood, and supported, I’m here 🤍

Book a free, no-obligation 20min call via the website and let's discuss how I can support you.

It’s not just about nutrition…
I’m fascinated by the science behind wider, holistic practices that may support our health, longevity, and even reduce the risk or severity of disease.

Have you ever heard of grounding?
Well, to explain the science we need to take it back to basics - but I promise to keep this quick and simple 👇

Electrons are tiny charged particles that help power everything in the body - from breathing and digestion to thinking and movement. They’re essential for producing ATP (our energy currency), meaning without them… we don’t function optimally.

Here’s the interesting part 🌍
The Earth is a natural source of electrons, and historically, we were in constant contact with them.

Grounding (or earthing) is simply reconnecting with that energy through:
🌱Walking barefoot on grass or sand
🌊Swimming in natural water
🌸Spending time outdoors

Modern life has distanced us from this connection (think shoes, concrete pavements & working 24/7), and while the body naturally produces free radicals, practices like grounding (alongside a diverse, nutrient-rich diet) may help support balance.

Research suggests it may support sleep, stress, inflammation and overall wellbeing 🌞
Sometimes it’s not about adding more… It’s about reconnecting with what’s already there.

Have you tried grounding before? 🌿
Let me know in the comments below👇 And if not, then with the grass growing and Easter holidays calling, why not give it a go?

👉Sign up for my next newsletter (via the website) to learn more about the science, what I have learnt from my own investigations, and how I have been incorporating the practice behind grounding into my own routine and health journey.

BOOK 3
A friend bought this for me after we discussed a lecture I had had at university whilst studying to become an NT. Great gift for a science-fuelled geek who is interested in cognitive health after watching loved ones decline due to dementia.

It is one of my personal fears in life and I know I am not alone.

In the book, Neurologist Dale Bredesen challenges the long-held belief that Alzheimer’s disease is inevitably progressive and untreatable.

His core message?
Alzheimer’s isn’t caused by just one thing - it’s influenced by multiple lifestyle, metabolic and inflammatory factors.

Instead of a single drug solution, Bredesen proposes a personalised, multi-factor approach (often referred to as the ReCODE protocol) that looks at:
• Inflammation
• Blood sugar balance
• Nutrient deficiencies
• Hormonal status
• Toxin exposure
• Sleep quality
• Stress
• Brain stimulation

The theory is that cognitive decline is a protective response to various insults, and if you identify and address those root causes, cognitive function may improve or stabilise.
👉Remove the stressors → support the brain → function may improve.

The book includes case studies of patients who showed measurable cognitive improvement after implementing targeted lifestyle and medical interventions.

👉 Whether you agree with every detail or not, the key takeaway is powerful:
Brain health is deeply connected to metabolic health, lifestyle and environment.

It’s a hopeful, proactive perspective on cognitive decline - and a reminder that prevention may need to be personalised.

BOOK 2
Another recommendation. I originally read this book when it first came out a few years ago and I feel that it really changed the way I think about HRT and oestrogen.

Written by a medical oncologist, this book explains the misconceptions surrounding HRT that have led many women to fear it over the years - backed up by scientific evidence and explained clearly for all to understand.

I recommend this book to all of my female clients (and a few of the male ones too!). I think it's a book every woman should read - especially if you are approaching or experiencing perimenopause - so that you understand the facts, evidence and increased health risks we face as women post menopause.

And I think men should read it too so they know what women have to go through biologically.

Whether or not you decide to use HRT now or in the future, this book helps to give the information so that you are informed and can make an informed decision about your health.

👉Read the slides for an overview

Happy reading fellow bookworms!📖🐛

Post school run, no make-up and a rather unwelcome stye 🙈

Sharing this feels very out of my comfort zone, but something I watched recently really stayed with me and felt too important not to talk about.

Firstly this is not about bashing the NHS. I have met and worked with some truly incredible rheumatologists and nurses who care deeply, who listen, and who are doing their very best every single day to help people living with Rheumatoid Arthritis.

But the reel I watched really hit home and resonated with me.

Every single day in the U.K. someone is diagnosed with RA. In that moment they may feel frightened, overwhelmed and completely lost …. Wondering what this diagnosis means for their future, their family, their life. That feeling of “is this it now?”

And that was me over 20 years ago.

Today there is more information about the wider factors that may influence disease severity - including nutrition, our environment, sleep, stress and lifestyle. But the reality is that not everyone has access to this information nor the support.

And we are all different. What helps one person may not help another. There is no simple path.

Which is why I am driven to do what I do. In clinic I try to make support as accessible as possible, including offering instalment options. But I also care deeply about reaching people beyond clinic walls.

Over the years I’ve worked with to help create free public webinars, learning modules and booklets so that those living with RA can access trusted information to feel more empowered on their journey.

Knowledge should not be a privilege. It should be available to all.

So if sharing this helps just one person feel a little less alone, a little more understood or gives hope that there are things they can do to support themselves then stepping out of my comfort zone this morning was worth it 💛

Have a good day, EJ x
