Since becoming a Zinzino partner in November last year, I’ve spent the last couple of months learning and educating myself on all things cellular health.

What started as curiosity has turned into a real interest in understanding what’s actually going on inside the body - rather than just reacting when something feels off.

I’ve been learning about test based nutrition, inflammation, and gut health… and I’m loving it.

What’s become apparent is that too many of us suffer with things we’ve come to accept as normal -
low energy, afternoon crashes, gut issues, bloating, inflammation, brain fog, poor sleep, stubborn weight, joint aches, headaches, low mood, anxiety, sugar cravings, or just not feeling like yourself - without ever really questioning why.

Through my work with Zinzino, I now offer simple at home tests to see how balanced the body is, along with nutritional support to help bring things back into balance and feel more like yourself again.

If any of this resonates and you’d like more info, please get in touch.

This bundle was created to be supportive and intentional, with each item chosen to help care for the body and nervous system from the inside out.

At the centre of the bag is the Balance Test and Balance Oil.

This is a new part of my work and something I’m genuinely excited to be offering, as it allows us to move beyond guesswork and gain clearer insight into what the body needs.

The Balance Test is a simple at home blood test that looks at fatty acid balance and can highlight areas where additional support may be helpful.

The Balance Oil is a daily oil designed to support balance at a cellular level and contribute to overall wellbeing from the inside out.

Included with this is a 1-2-1 consultation with me, where we will go through the results together and talk through personalised and practical next steps in a clear, supportive way.

Alongside this are self care elements chosen to encourage rest, relaxation and everyday rituals:

💕 Neal’s Yard bath foam to support relaxation
💕 Neal’s Yard roll on for balance during the day
💕 Facial cups for an at home facial ritual
💕 A self care book to encourage rest and reflection
💕 A Himalayan salt tea light holder to create a calming atmosphere
💕 Rose quartz crystal to support self love and compassion
💕 Palo santo to support calming, clearing and intentional moments
💕 A chocolate treat
💕 A £50 Vedra Therapies gift voucher

This bundle reflects how I work - holistic, supportive, and focused on understanding the body as a whole.

There are only 4 bags available…..message me if you’d like one!

Blue Monday? Let’s reframe that. 💙

There’s actually no real evidence that today is the “most depressing day of the year.”

What is real, though, is that today is still a day - a chance to pause, breathe, and take care of yourself.

Instead of buying into the label, let’s choose a different story:
✨ A day to be grateful for small things
✨ A day to slow down and check in with yourself
✨ A day for self care, kindness, and compassion

Your mood isn’t dictated by a calendar, and you don’t need a reason to look after your wellbeing.

Whether that’s rest, movement, connection, or simply giving yourself permission to feel however you feel - it all counts.

Today doesn’t have to be blue.

It can be gentle, grounded, and exactly what you need. 💙

This is why the Balance Test matters - it shows what’s actually happening inside your body, not what we think is happening.
If you’d like to run your own test and understand your results, I can help you. Just reach out!

Has anyone here read Eat Fat, Get Thin?

It really got me thinking about how much our relationship with fat has been shaped by the low fat craze of the 90’s… and how that’s still ingrained in many of us today.

For years we were taught to fear fat, yet now we’re learning that quality fats are essential for our cells, hormones, brain, and overall health.

Many of us may actually be deficient - not from lack of calories, but from lack of the right fats.

What I love is that we now have ways to understand how the fats we eat are impacting our bodies at a cellular level, rather than relying on guesswork or trends. (DM if you’d like more info)

Curious if anyone else has read this book, explored omega balance, or noticed a difference when focusing on better fats?

I’d love to hear your experience!

Did you know your body can’t make Omega 3 on its own?

Omega 3 is an essential fatty acid, which means we must get it through our diet or from a good quality supplement.

Omega 3 supports so many areas of our wellbeing, from our mood and hormones to our heart, skin, and even sleep.

Here are just a few of the benefits:
* Supports emotional wellbeing and can help ease feelings of anxiety and low mood
* Promotes eye health and vision
* Essential for brain development during pregnancy
* Improves heart and cardiovascular health
* Encourages healthy cholesterol levels
* Supports bones and joints
* Can improve sleep quality
* Helps balance hormones and ease menstrual or menopausal symptoms
* Reduces inflammation and supports immune function
* Nourishes skin from within

The truth is, most people are low in Omega 3 and don’t even realise it.

If your supplement isn’t being properly absorbed - or if it doesn’t contain the right antioxidants (polyphenols) - your body might not actually be getting the benefits.

Your blood doesn’t lie.

That’s why I love that you can now do a simple at home dry blood spot test to find out your personal Omega 3 balance. It’s quick, easy, and gives you real insight into what your body needs.

Once you know your numbers, you can choose a supplement that’s proven to actually work - so you’re not just guessing (or wasting your money).

When your body is in balance, everything feels better - your energy, focus, skin, sleep, and mood.

DM me to find out more, or comment TEST below if you’d like to take the at home test and discover your own Omega 3 balance.

Dr.KhushMark PhD speaking the truth once again! 🙌

Some 'professionals' disagree with the new food pyramid.
Some disagree with the science.
Some disagree with the institution.
Some just like being antagonistic, and some thrive on opposition rather than contribution

From....

😁 Not enough fat.
😁 Too much fat.
😁 Too much protein.
😁 Bananas are too low.
😁 Red meat is wrong.
😁 Anything to do with that 'orange man' has to be wrong

But, pause...

This food pyramid update was never about perfect macronutrient ratios or micromanaging individual foods.

It is FUNDAMENTALLY about moving away from ultra-processed, 'industrialised' food and back toward real food, fibre, and metabolic health.

This is a VITAL shift in the right direction.

A food pyramid is a population tool.
It was never meant to be personalised nutrition.

Biochemical individuality still stands. AND ALWAYS WILL.

🧠 Not everyone needs the same amount of protein.
🧠 Not everyone tolerates the same fruits.
🧠 Not everyone thrives on the same fats.

And guess what, not everyone has a gall bladder! So that amount of fat 😱

No single graphic can capture all this.

Arguing over bananas is utterly bananas. 🍌🍌🍌🍌

What matters is that we are finally recognising OPENLY
• ultra-processed food
• refined sugars
• INDUSTRIAL seed oils (NOT SEED OILS)
..as part of the problem, not saturated fat in real food eaten in context.

Progress is not about everyone agreeing, it is a step in the right direction.

And this is a movement in the right direction. 💪

And always, as a nutrition practitioner using functional medicine tools, who has seen people heal by changing their nutrition and lifestyle, some eating more fat than the pyramid suggests, some less, others choosing not to eat meat at all ....
Biochemical individuality will ALWAYS be the guiding principle. 💚

One of the most important health questions you can ask yourself:
Am I getting by, or am I actually getting well?

Many of us are technically “fine,” yet still dealing with low energy, brain fog, restless sleep, or needing caffeine and sugar just to get through the day.

When those patterns become normal, it often means we’re coping - not truly thriving.

Awareness is a powerful place to start.

Tools like Zinzino’s Balance Test can offer insight into how balanced your body is on the inside, particularly when it comes to essential fats.

From there, something as simple as a daily oil can become a supportive habit - not a quick fix, just nourishment based on what your body needs.

This isn’t about doing more or being perfect. It’s about listening to your body and gently shifting from just getting by, to actually feeling well.

If this question resonates, it might be worth exploring what “getting well” could look like for you….if you’d like more information just get on touch.

New year. Same human.

First morning of work done.

Parked up, waiting for my son to come out of school, taking a breath before the next part of the day begins.

For many of us, today feels more like the real beginning of the year!
School, work, routines - life picking up its familiar pace again.

This year, like every year, won’t move in a straight line.
It will come in waves.

Quieter moments and fuller ones.

Days where the nervous system feels settled and supported, and days where it feels stretched or overstimulated.

As things resume, how we feel will keep changing too.

Some days will feel steadier than others.

Some days will ask less of us, and some will ask more.

None of this means anything is wrong.
It’s simply part of being human.

My plan is to meet this year as it comes, one day at a time.

If at any point this year you feel like taking some time out for yourself - to recalibrate, support your nervous system, or simply spoil yourself, I’m here when you need me 🫶

The lymphatic system works quietly and continuously, helping the body maintain balance, manage fluid levels and clear waste.

When it becomes overwhelmed - like it can after Christmas - we may notice feelings of sluggishness, puffiness, fatigue or congestion.

Reflexology Lymph Drainage (RLD) is an award winning technique developed by the fabulous Sally Kay, who I was lucky enough to be trained by in 2019.

It’s a reflexology sequence that focuses on stimulating lymphatic reflexes on the feet, working gently with the body to support the lymphatic system to function as optimally as possible, and help the body’s detoxification process.

After the Christmas period, when the body has often been put through a little more than usual, RLD offers an opportunity to gently recalibrate.

It encourages the body’s own natural rhythms, allowing space for release, rest and restoration.

It is a subtle approach that many people find deeply calming and grounding.

RLD can be enjoyed as a standalone treatment or combined with other therapies to create a longer, more indulgent experience.

You can choose from:
✨ Facial Reflexology
✨ Indian Head Massage
✨ Hopi Ear Candling
✨ Auricular Acupuncture (NADA)

If you’re feeling the effects of a busy festive season and would like to support your body in a calm and deeply relaxing way, you’re very welcome to get in touch to find out more.

At Vedra Therapies, everything I share is rooted in one belief: when the body is in balance, it has an innate ability to heal, restore, and thrive - physically, mentally, and emotionally.

I’ve honestly been blown away by how much I’ve learned about the importance of a healthy Omega 3 balance.

The more I’ve come to understand its role in the body, the more strongly I’ve felt that this is knowledge worth sharing - because it has the potential to quietly support wellbeing in such an important way.

Omega essential fatty acids support every cell in the body, nourish the brain and nervous system, and help regulate inflammation. Because our bodies can’t produce them, we rely entirely on what we consume - which makes balance just as important as quality.

What I’m seeing more and more is that many people are unknowingly out of balance.

While the ideal Omega 6:3 ratio is around 3:1, testing often shows much higher levels. Over time, this can gently influence mood, joints, skin, energy, and clarity.

A simple at home blood spot test offers an easy, non-invasive way to understand your own omega balance. It removes the guesswork and provides a clear, supportive starting point, with the option to retest and observe change over time.

The good news is that, this test-based service is now available with me at Vedra Therapies.

If you’re feeling curious, or ready to support your body from@the inside out, then send me a message - I’d love to help.

Mairead ❤️
