Confused about what to eat or drink to avoid discomfort?
I mentioned in Tuesdays’ post about feeding the tiny cub goats’ milk as cow’s milk doesn’t suit foxes. But did you know cows’ milk also differs?

🐄Freisian and Holstein cows which you see everywhere in the UK produce A1 milk.
🐂Jersey cows along with Guernsey and indigenous cows such as see in Asia will produce A2 milk.

Whilst both provide a good source of calcium, protein, vitamins and minerals some people find that A1 beta-casein (a protein) can cause bloating and discomfort as it triggers the release of a particular compound called beta-casomorphin-7 in the gut.

This shouldn’t be confused with lactose intolerance which can also be an issue for some. Nor should it be confused with cross-reactive intolerance when the body confuses the milk protein with gluten.
So many things to think about!

If you find you are living with discomfort or with inflammation, it doesn’t have to be that way!
I can help you explore what is at the root cause of your discomfort and unexplained symptoms. Get in touch to find out how.

I offer a free 15-minute exploratory call to see how and if I can support you and to see if we are a good fit. No judgement and no hard sell!🍃

Do you check calorie content of your food? This will shock you!
We talk about “energy” as if it’s one single thing.
But energy actually comes in different forms:

• heat
• electricity
• light
• sound
• Kinetic energy (movement)
• chemical energy

And each one is measured differently:
• electricity in volts and amps
• light in lumens
• movement in joules
• sound in decibels

We don’t use the same unit for everything because each form of energy behaves differently.
So why do we measure nutrition in the form of calories?
A calorie is ONLY a measure of heat. That’s it.
Literally: how much something can warm up water.
But your body doesn’t run on heat.
Your body runs on ATP - a chemical form of energy your cells make, use and recycle constantly.
And ATP is NOT measured in calories because ATP doesn’t work like heat energy.
It’s influenced by complex biochemical pathways, enzymes, hormones, nutrient type, and metabolic conditions.
So using calories to estimate ATP is like trying to measure electricity with a thermometer.
You’ll get a number, but it’s the wrong tool for the job.

So the calories in vs calories out concept assumes three things:

1. That your body extracts energy from food with fixed efficiency
It doesn’t. ATP production varies wildly by food type and individual metabolism.
2. That ATP production is linear and predictable
It isn’t. Hormones, mitochondria, stress, illness and nutrient status all change it.
3. That metabolism burns energy at a stable rate

It doesn’t. Your metabolic rate can shift by hundreds (up to 1,000!!) of calories per day.
An electrician wouldn’t calculate electrical output in calories or using a thermometer, yet that’s effectively what you’re doing when you check the calories in your food.

And for many people who have obsessed over calories for a lot of their life it has simply backfired into binge/starve cycles, a body they hate, and endless misery.

A strong, healthy body you love living in starts with unlearning everything you were told about food and exercise by men in white lab coats and food manufacturers (who incidentally have a legitimate 20% leeway on the number of calories they declare on their labels!), and re-learning what your body is telling you instead.

Finding the right milk for the right person or animal is critical to health! Foxes don't do well on cows' milk, but goats’ milk is much more suitable.

This little thing stumbled out of the shrubs Thursday evening and whilst he is moving around with more confidence even though his eyes are shut, by Monday I realised he wasn't putting on any weight. One of his siblings has their eyes open so that puts them at around 2 weeks old. This one has an eye infection which is getting better with salt water. The vixen comes at night to be with her cubs under the shed, but she is a useless mum and is rather neglectful!

Since discovering we have 4 cubs under the shed we put out a little food for her every night in the hope she will continue to feed them. We know this little munchkin is getting some sustenance from her but isn't enough so yesterday I decided to offer him some warm goats’ milk on a dropper. He nearly ate the dropped so I put it in a lid, and he laps it up.

It amazes me how I can do nasty things to him like salt water his eyes only handling him in gloves and yet he responds to being called and scratches at the door to come in!

As much as it is fascinating to have a pet fox, I really don’t want him to become dependent on me.
Oh well, we’ll see what happens!

We had a Bengal cat and this breed has a life expectancy of 12 years. Ours lived to 21! That’s what happens when you feed things right!

If you need help with what is right to eat for you get in touch! I don’t promise to almost double your life expectancy, but you never know!
And if you have any ideas of a suitable name for this little cub, put it in the comments!

Will this little one grow up to be big and strong? And how will it know what is nutritionally good for it living in a major town?

Can I trust my health to AI?
We live in a world overflowing with health advice, and it is so noisy out there it just leaves you feeling more confused.

AI is designed to be helpful above all else, which means that it constantly tries to guess your intent and provide an answer to appease you.

If you ask a medically impossible question, an AI will often confidently hallucinate a medically impossible answer just to give you a response. Remember, its priority is to give you an answer, not to be right.

It also weighs all information essentially equally—as likely to pull from published research as it is from a random blog—unless you know exactly how to guide it.
It is helpful to learn the basics as it can summarize tonnes of info in seconds.

It's very good at understanding patterns and trends in data – this can be a good or bad thing!
Yet interpreting symptoms is risky as it requires a full picture and the clinical context before it can make a judgment.

AI is not good for diagnosing and treatment decisions because it doesn’t have the full context. And lets hope it never does because if that happens it will be more powerful than a human and you will no longer be required!

Because health isn’t a one-size-fits-all you deserve more than generic advice.
Get in touch if you fed-up with not knowing what is right for you!

Time to forage! Wild garlic and nettles are out and a lovely addition to your diet!

Nettles are packed with beneficial compounds, including terpenoids, carotenoids, lignans, tannins, flavonoids, and phytosterols, and minerals all of which help support your immune system, cardiovascular health, your cognitive function and so much more.

Wild garlic has a mild taste but a strong garlic smell. It too is jam packed with nutrients such as iron, potassium, and copper, high in vitamin A, C and Vit K and phenolic compounds. It's high in antioxidants, anti-inflammatory, anti-aging, anti-diabetic anti-cancer, anti-bacterial and anti-microbial.

So, really good for you!

Tips on using both nettles and wild garlic:

🌳 Pick from clean areas. With wild garlic you can use the leaves, stems and flowers (but I like to leave the flower for insects) picking a few leaves from different plants. With nettles cut the new leaves and using the scissors tip into a bowl.

🍃🧄 Chop both up with scissors or a knife (I find chopping nettles with scissors in the bowl the easiest way to avoid getting stung!).

🔥 Gently fry with a little butter then use in omelettes, savoury pancakes, blended into a hummus, sprinkled onto soups, stir fries or even on toast with tahini and marmite or cheese or as part of a pizza topping. Or blanch for 30 seconds and make into a pesto.

Let you imagination run wild!

Meet my daughter. You don’t know her, but you might relate to her story.
When she was around 15, life became overwhelming because of what was happening to her best friend.

She became withdrawn, anxious and very depressed. Then she told me the voices in her head were becoming sinister. She thought it was normal to hear a voice but was aware that hearing 5 voices saying nasty things was not at all normal. On top of this, whilst the visual hallucinations were amusing at first, they were beginning to concern me as the frequency increased, and they were becoming more extreme.

As I was halfway through my training, I knew what tests to do. All GP tests came back as ‘normal’, but we also ran some private tests. A cortisol test to see why she struggled with sleep and a ‘leaky’ gut test. All of these tests flagged up issues. We already knew that gluten was an issue for one member of the family so going strictly gluten-free was not a big deal. That along with a gut repair protocol led to massive transformation within six weeks. All visual and auditory hallucinations gone. No more anxiety or low mood. No more self-harming or being ‘closed down’. It felt like a black cloud had lifted off our family.

Years later if my daughter consumes gluten foods, she has mood swings and anxiety even when she has consumed the food unknowingly.

For every person presenting with gut issues related to gluten foods, eight will have symptoms that are unrelated to the gut.

If you are concerned that food might be affecting you or a loved one feel free to get in touch. Drop me a line or book a time to chat things through.

Are you fed up with feeling under par? Wishing you felt more comfortable in your body?
To move with ease, to feel free to go places without having to worry about food and if it’s going to cause discomfort, or worse, embarrassment.
To be able to relax in the evening with your friends and family rather than feel utterly exhausted?
To have the energy to play with your kids or grandchildren? To know what to eat, without feeling food is a constant source of stress and guilt?

I can help you to explore what is at the root of your symptoms to help you find your flow.
Together we can work out a plan that helps you take back control of your health and emotional wellbeing.
By using a combination of techniques, I can help you reconnect with your body, to better manage your stresses and feelings of overwhelm.
Explore hidden barriers that are making it so much harder for you to achieve your goals to help you feel so much better.

Don’t let symptoms run the show!
