🌱 Organic September: Do You Need to Go 100% Organic with fruit and vegetables? 🌱

Choosing organic isn’t always simple (or affordable!) — and the good news is, you don’t always have to.

Some fruits and vegetables are more likely to carry pesticide residues than others, depending on how they’re grown. Each year, the Environmental Working Group (EWG) publishes the Dirty Dozen (produce with the highest residues) and the Clean Fifteen (produce with the lowest).

✨ Dirty Dozen (best to buy organic if possible):
🍓 Strawberries
🥬 Spinach
🍑 Nectarines
🍏 Apples
🍑 Peaches
🟢 Peas
🍒 Cherries
🍇 Grapes
🥒 Tomatoes
🌿 Celery
🌶️ Bell Peppers
🥔 Potatoes

✨ Clean Fifteen (usually lower in residues, so safer non-organic):
🌽 Sweet corn
🥑 Avocados
🍍 Pineapples
🥬 Cabbage
🧅 Onions
🟢 Sugar snap peas
🍈 Papayas
🌱 Asparagus
🥭 Mangos
🍆 Aubergine
🍈 Melon (Honeydew & Cantaloupe)
🥝 Kiwi
🥦 Cauliflower
🍊 Grapefruit

💡 Top Tip: If buying organic isn’t possible for everything, focus on choosing organic versions of the Dirty Dozen first. For non-organic produce, a good vegetable wash can help remove some residues.

👉 Remember — eating more fruit and veg (organic or not) is always better than not eating them at all!

🌿 Will you be making any swaps this Organic September? Every small change adds up to a healthier you 💚

🧬 Your Genes Are Not Your Destiny

I’ve recently introduced the DNAMap Test into my clinic, and of course, I had to do the test myself! It's a simple, straighforward test, and the insights I have received are both fascinating and incredibly empowering.

The results have given me a deeper understanding of how my genes are influencing key areas of my health—including digestion, immunity, stress resilience, metabolism, sleep, nutrient needs, exercise capacity, and recovery. With this insight, I can personalise my own nutrition and wellness plan even further, focusing on the areas that need the most support so my body can truly thrive

🎉 Introductory Offer – Now Available!

✨ 15% off DNAMap Testing (RRP £300)
📅 Offer valid until 31st August 2025
📍 Available only when booked as part of a Nutrition & Wellness Programme (minimum 3-session package)
📩 Message me or email clare@healthinspired.co.uk
➡️Book a free call: https://l.bttr.to/bKsW7

I offer a range of support to suit your health and wellbeing goals—whether you're looking to boost energy, manage weight, sleep better, overcome emotional eating, or simply understand your body better.

Your genes aren’t fixed outcomes—they’re clues we can work with to create a tailored, effective wellbeing plan.

Let’s decode your health blueprint together 💫

🗞️ “The demand for weight loss drugs is becoming unsustainable.” – The Guardian

What I hear from clients is that they come to me because they know weight loss medication alone isn’t a long-term solution.

Many are concerned that once the injections stop, the weight might creep back, motivation could dip, and old habits may return.

They’re looking for something deeper — a way to stay in control, feel good in their bodies, and create lasting change.

That’s where my holistic approach comes in.

Through a combination of hypnotherapy, nutritional therapy, and lifestyle support, I help clients:
✔ Improve digestive function and microbiome balance
✔ Stabilise blood sugar and energy dips that drive cravings
✔ Manage emotional eating patterns
✔ Support better sleep, mood, and stress resilience
✔ Build habits and confidence that last — with or without medication

Because true change isn’t just about eating less, it’s about understanding your body, building balanced habits, and creating a healthier relationship with food — for good.

📩 If this speaks to you, I’d love to help. 💙

💓 Cardiometabolic Health – A Client Story
I’ve been working with a male client to support his cardiometabolic health — and just three sessions in, we’re already seeing some really encouraging changes 🙌

We began with a detailed health history and focused on his goal of supporting cardiovascular health alongside existing medical treatment. After completing conventional blood tests, the client was keen to explore further to gain a deeper understanding of his overall cardiometabolic health — so we ran a private Functional Cardiometabolic Profile.

Functional testing, as the name suggests, looks at how well the body is functioning, rather than just identifying disease or diagnosing symptoms. It gives us a deeper insight — and in this case, it revealed:
⚠️ Elevated blood glucose
⚠️ Signs of inflammation and oxidative stress
⚠️ Elevated homocysteine - a marker linked to cardiovascular risk and cognitive decline
⚠️ Imbalances in cholesterol and blood sugar regulation

These kinds of tests help us go far beyond symptom management or standard blood work. They give a clearer picture of what’s happening underneath the surface.

Using personalised nutrition and targeted interventions, we focused on:
✅ Improving gut health (which can influence cholesterol and insulin sensitivity)
✅ Supporting cholesterol metabolism
✅ Enhancing blood sugar regulation and insulin function
✅ Reducing homocysteine through diet and targeted nutrients.

Any drug-nutrient interactions were taken into account - including supporting the client with any nutrients that may be depleted by medication, and ensuring that any recommendations complemented his existing medical treatment. Progress was closely monitored, allowing us to track positive outcomes and tailor support accordingly.

It’s not just about improving numbers - it’s about helping someone feel more energised, balanced, and in control of their long-term health.

If you’re curious how functional testing could support your goals around weight, energy, mood, or cardiovascular health, feel free to:
