If, like me, you don't have the time or space to grow your own salad vegetables, you may want to try growing sprouts in your kitchen instead! It just takes a few days and they are SOOO nutritious. Delicious munched on their own or sprinkled on almost any savoury dish!

Let's take a moment together on World Mental Health Day.

Take A Moment is about simply taking a few seconds every day for our mental health...to pause, breathe, disconnect and then reconnect, so we can find clarity. A simple action that can make a life-changing difference in our fast-paced world.

I am proud to support the campaign for mental health awareness with 'Take A Moment UK' ,
Let's flood social media with eyes closed portraits to help get people talking about mental health.

Here’s how you can share your moment and join the movement👇🏾

If you're aiming to adopt an anti-inflammatory diet, don't forget your crucial spices!
I'm with Dr Murray on this on - ginger is one of my favourites too, for it's warming flavour and powerful anti-inflammatory effects.
I use ground ginger in smoothies, whole ginger root in juices, sliced ginger root in tea or chai and of course plenty of finely chopped ginger in curries.
How do you like to use ginger?

Which sweeteners are in your food? Beware if one of them is xylitol - the often lackadaisical FDA in the US has just banned it over serious health concerns.

Brominated vegetable oil, which is used in some fruit-flavored drinks, is potentially harmful for humans.

If, like me, you sometimes bake food wrapped in aluminium foil, you may want to read this and rethink.
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22063217/

One suggestion I've come across is using baking parchment inside the foil layer, but if course there are plenty of other options. For example, we like to steam our fish, and jacket potatoes are great with a crispier skin (ie no foil during cooking).

How about you - what are your favourite foil-free cooking methods?

In this investigation, the effect of cooking treatments (60min at 150°C, 40min at 200°C, and 20min at 250°C) on aluminium contents of meats (beef, water buffalo, mutton, chicken and turkey) baked in aluminium foil were evaluated. Cooking increased the aluminium concentration of both the white and...

I'm so grateful for Dr Michael Mosley, who has taught so many of us so much about how we can take control of our own health. And I'm sad that he's gone.
Here is a lovely article paying tribute to him and his wife Dr Clare Mosley, and their contribution to Britain's health.

The GP’s dignified response to the news of her husband’s death is a perfect tribute to a man who went to extreme lengths to educate us all

Our Story

I’m sure you’ll agree that how we eat, live, move and sleep can have an impact on our health.

When I was diagnosed with MS in 2006 and was told to expect the same gradual decline that ultimately took my mother from me, I embarked on a journey of a different kind. Over many years and through several relapses and setbacks, I found a way to manage my own health and ultimately to recover from this cruel and “chronic” disease. You could say that far from being chronically ill, I am now “chronically well”!

I now use what I've learned to work with clients as a Wellbeing Coach and a Natural Juice Therapist. As an NJT, I show them how to include lorry-loads of nutritious plant-based foods into their daily diets, and as a coach I help them find other, simple ways to support their bodies' own natural healing mechanisms. If you want to explore any of these options for yourself, please just send me a message.

This page contains information I’ve gained on my long journey back to health. I aim to recommend only those things that I have personally found helpful, or that seem to have a good evidence base. Please feel free to comment, ask questions, and share anything useful with friends. Or send me a message ... To your good health!
