The most common lie in chronic illness? “I’m fine.”

So many of us say it - even when we’re anything but. Behind those words can be pain, fear, and exhaustion that feels impossible to explain.

We say “I’m fine” because it’s easier than unpacking the truth, and we don’t want to burden others with what we’re really going through. But just because someone says they’re okay doesn’t mean they are.
If you’re struggling, know you’re not alone - and you don’t have to hide behind “I’m fine.”

Your experience is real, and it matters. 💙

Sometimes symptoms are just signals. Your body’s not malfunctioning - it’s trying to survive. Shift the goal from fighting your body to supporting its safety.

Most gut protocols are not considering the cellular-level response to danger. ('Danger' being infections, toxins from the environment, stress or injury)

If your symptoms aren’t budging, your cells may still be in defence mode. Knowledge of this situation can help to break the cycle and support deep healing.

Running the practice. Year 6 leavers events. A privilege. A joy. An end of year endurance test for us superhumans? Oh yes.

Logistical adventure? Yep that too

Yes, it’s all good.

Yes, memories are being made.

Keeping it all together? Er, no!

Take a breath.
Reset.
You’ve got this. (Talking to myself here)

Our brains are incredible - not fixed, but constantly evolving. Through neuroplasticity, we have the power to rewire our nervous system, heal from past challenges, and create new pathways for growth and resilience.

Every thought, experience, and intention shapes who we are and who we can become.

Embrace the journey of transformation. Your brain is ready to adapt and thrive.

Did you know your body’s stress response goes deeper than you think? When the Cell Danger Response (CDR) is triggered, it doesn’t just affect your cells - it can put your entire nervous system on high alert.

If the CDR gets “stuck,” your body may stay in survival mode, making it harder to relax, heal, and function optimally. This can show up as anxiety, fatigue, digestive issues, or even feeling “shut down" or detached from others around you.

Supporting your nervous system with gentle practices like breathwork, mindfulness, and self-care can help your body shift back into balance and start the healing process. Our clinic work focuses on using techniques both lifestyle and nutritional to shift the CDR out of it's stuck position, into the healing state.

Is Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS) related to the Cell Danger Response (CDR)? Absolutely! Here's why:

CIRS happens when your body’s natural defence system stays activated long after the original threat (like toxins or infections) is gone. This ongoing “danger mode” is exactly what the Cell Danger Response describes - a protective reaction that should switch off once healing begins.

When the CDR doesn’t turn off, it keeps your immune system on high alert, causing chronic inflammation and symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, and pain.

Understanding this connection is key to supporting your body’s healing and helping it reset from chronic stress.

Have you experienced symptoms like these?

Have you ever felt like your body just won't reset, no matter what you do? That deep fatigue, brain fog, pain or lingering illness might be your cells stuck in survival mode.

The Cell Danger Response (CDR) explains how chronic illness can persist even after the original threat has gone.

In this post we break down:

WHAT the CDR is

WHY it matters for chronic conditions like ME/CFS, long Covid, and more

HOW this shift in perspective could lead to better healing strategies

Start your day with daylight, not your screen! This modern habit is damaging our health more than we know..

Did you know that stepping outside or even throwing open your window to catch the first morning light tells your brain it's time to wake up?

This simple habit helps balance your circadian rhythm, lowers inflammation, supports your immune system and keeps your hormones in check as well as potent impacts on mental health symptoms.

No phone, no artificial lights as these scramble your circadian signals contributing to chronic inflammatory illnesses
