🔥 Tired of acid reflux or heartburn after meals?

Sometimes it’s not just what you eat, but how you combine foods.

Different food groups take varying amounts of time to digest. Fruits digest quickly, followed by carbohydrates, and then proteins and fats, which take the longest.

By strategically combining foods, you can potentially minimise acid reflux.

😊Foods That May Help

Low-Acid Fruits:
Bananas, melons (watermelon, cantaloupe, honeydew), and pears are good choices.

Vegetables:
Leafy greens (spinach, kale, lettuce), broccoli, green beans, and fennel are often well-tolerated.

Whole Grains:
Oatmeal, brown rice, and quinoa are good sources of fiber, which can aid digestion.

Lean Proteins:
Chicken breast (skin removed), fish, and egg whites are generally easier to digest than fatty meats.

Ginger:
Ginger tea or ginger chews can help soothe the stomach.

Foods with high water content:
Celery, cucumber and watermelon can help dilute stomach acid, according to Hopkins Medicine.

❌Foods to Limit or Avoid

High-Fat Foods: Fried foods, fatty meats, and creamy sauces can slow down digestion and increase the risk of reflux.

Acidic Foods: Citrus fruits, tomatoes, and spicy foods can irritate the esophagus.

Caffeinated and Carbonated Drinks: These can stimulate acid production and worsen reflux.

Alcohol: Can relax the lower esophageal sphincter, making it easier for acid to flow back up.

⭐Practical Tips:

Smaller, More Frequent Meals: Instead of large meals, try eating smaller portions more often to reduce the volume of food in your stomach.

Proper Hydration: Drink plenty of water throughout the day, especially between meals.

Avoid Eating Before Bed: Allow at least 2-3 hours between your last meal and bedtime to prevent reflux while lying down

Consider Food Combining Rules:

✅Eat fruits on an empty stomach, or with minimal other foods

✅Combine proteins with non-starchy vegetables

✅Combine starchy foods with non-starchy vegetables

Be Mindful of Portions: Even healthy foods can trigger reflux if eaten in large quantities.

Keep a Food Diary: Track what you eat and how your symptoms react to identify your personal triggers because what works for one person might not work for another.

➡Important Note: While food combining can be helpful, it's not a substitute for medical advice. If you experience frequent or severe acid reflux, consider seeing your local kinesiologist for personalised insights and recommendations.

Love this powerful example of Kinesiology from my Kinesio-friend 🌼
The body is always keeping score ⚡️✨

✨ A really cool session story and example of how “the body keeps the score” … ✨

Last week I worked with a client’s scar ⚡️using a new kinesiology technique I’ve been learning. When we tested the scar, something surprising came up … it wasn’t just physical. The scar was holding an emotional imprint.

At first I reached for the Bach remedy Star of Bethlehem (often used for shock and trauma) but my hand landed on Mustard instead. When I tested, that’s exactly what the body wanted (there are no mistakes in these moments, only intuition and guidance 💫 😉💫).

🌑Mustard relates to feelings of gloom and hopelessness, like being under a heavy dark cloud. The client shared that the time leading up to the operation that left the scar, was the worst time of their life because of the pain they were in. That emotion had stayed with the scar all this time because the body “remembers” the stress, fear, shock or pain of the original experience.

The Science Bit. Research shows that electrical fields are created at wound sites, and specific signals, like “cries for help”, aid healing. But the scars⚡️ left behind from altered cell structure can disrupt communication, potentially causing stress and inflammation in surrounding cells, fascia, and tissue. We also know that emotions are electrochemical 🧪responses to our 💭 thoughts and experiences, creating real physiological 💪🏻effects. And so we can begin to see how the body truly holds onto our stories.

Scars can also impact the flow of meridian energy depending on the location in the body.

We’ll never know exactly how the emotional stressor linked to their scar may have presented itself in the future, but we do know that the body chose 🌼Mustard Bach remedy to support itself.

🌞 The gift of Mustard is that it restores brightness and lightness. Watching the body choose what it needs is such a powerful reminder of how body, mind, and emotions are deeply connected.

And it’s a reminder that our body does indeed keep the score. But through Kinesiology we can help it restore. 💛

Paddling away a stressful day, the beach fixes many things & for the rest… there’s Kinesiology ✨💫

13/08/2025

This is exactly how I feel Kinesiology works. You don’t notice that you’re healing, you just do, you just feel different.

Things that once triggered you aren’t such a big deal, feelings dissipate & the realisation comes that something has shifted.

The magic comes from removing the ‘layers’ as only Kinesiology can, as each layer (no matter what the root cause & often emotional) is released a little more balance is restored, meaning the body can cope with all the things it’s compensating for - just a little bit more….& then you notice…you’re healing ❤️‍🩹

🌸 Feeling Stuck, Overwhelmed or Just "Not Yourself"?

➡️ Enter the Bach Flower Remedies

Each of the 38 flower remedies is linked to a different emotion, they are gentle yet powerful plant-based supports that work beautifully alongside Kinesiology, allowing us to release emotional stress & bring balance to your emotional and energetic system.
These remedies don't mask symptoms - they help shift the emotional patterns beneath them.

In Kinesiology, we ask your body by muscle testing to find exactly which remedy your body is asking for, whether it's
🌸Elm for overwhelm
🌸White Chestnut for thoughts buzzing round your head
🌸Star of Bethlehem shock or trauma

💫 Your body knows what it needs. Let me help it tell the story.

👩🏻‍🎓Exciting Times👩🏻‍🎓

I’ve recently started the next level of Kinesiology training, this is the highest level I can do & will take me a year to complete.

In a nutshell I will be adding to my toolbox of techniques & deepening my understanding of how to bring the body back to balance.

Still working across the 4 realms of health
⚡️Electrical
🍎Nutritional
✨Emotional
🦴Structural

this last weekend was mostly
⚡️Electrical⚡️ and we all loved it ♥️ there may have been a little confusion - but that’s how we learn right? 🥴😇😂

In the picture I was practicing a technique relating to clumsiness & spacial awareness, we also learnt a simple technique to help scar tissue, scars can mess with the electrical communication across the skin, we recapped & expanded on Chakras & one or 2 other things too 😉😇

Every single technique, however simple or complex, releases another layer that the body is compensating for, helping it to return to balance.

I can’t tell you how much I loved the whole weekend, I wish I could do it every weekend!
I’m so excited to share these new techniques with you all 👩🏻‍🎓⚡️♥️😇✨

Struggling to switch off at night? Try this simple technique to calm your nervous system and ease into deep, peaceful rest.

✨ Third Eye (between the eyebrows)

Use gentle but firm pressure. Breathe slowly. Let your body know it’s safe to rest.

What do you have for breakfast?
Is probably my most frequently asked question from clients (apart from maybe ‘What is Kinesiology?’ 😂)

So here you go brekkie today is; lightly toasted pitta 🫓
avocado 🥑
hard boiled egg 🥚- still warm 👌🏻👌🏻

My current fave, inspired by a friend on a recent camping trip, this was his post-run snack & it’s all there; protein, fats & carbs 👌🏻
This will keep me going till lunch & because it won’t spike my blood sugar, it’ll keep my hand out of the biscuit tin!

♦️Getting your breakfast right can change your whole day!♦️

What’s your breakfast looking like today?
