🌿 Top Ways to Detoxify Excess Oestrogen Naturally! 🌿I had so many messages this week following the Panarama documentary so please do share this and reduce fear around excessive oestrogen. We can do so much to support our health naturally, with small manageable daily habits. Struggling with hormonal imbalances? Here are the most effective, natural ways to help your body detoxify excess oestrogen and promote balance! 1️⃣ Calcium D-Glucarate – A powerful detox tool! This supplement supports liver detoxification and helps flush out excess oestrogen. It prevents oestrogen reabsorption, ensuring it’s eliminated properly. 👋💨2️⃣ Cruciferous Veggies – Think broccoli, cauliflower, brussel sprouts, cauliflower, pak choi! These veggies contain compounds that support oestrogen metabolism and detox pathways. 🥦🥗3️⃣ Fibre-Rich Foods – Load up on whole grains, beans, legumes, fruits, and vegetables! 🌾🍎 Fibre helps bind excess oestrogen in the gut, aiding in its excretion. A healthy gut = happy hormones! 💚4️⃣ Exercise – Move your body regularly! 🏃‍♀️ Exercise helps reduce body fat, which is where oestrogen is stored. It also boosts circulation and supports detoxification. 💦5️⃣ Liver-Supporting Herbs – Milk thistle, dandelion, and turmeric are fantastic for liver health, the organ responsible for filtering and processing oestrogen. 🌼🍵6️⃣ Reduce Toxin Exposure – Avoid synthetic chemicals found in plastics, beauty products, and processed foods. These can mimic oestrogen in the body (xenoestrogens) and throw off your balance! 🚫🧴7️⃣ Healthy Fats – Omega-3s found in fatty fish, flaxseeds, and walnuts help regulate hormone production and reduce inflammation. 🐟🥑My go to essential for aiding full body detox is the discount code TNG10 to get 10% off at checkout. I love the large portable sauna with ozone with red light panel.Taking care of your hormones is essential for your overall well-being! 🙌✨ Try incorporating these steps into your daily routine and feel the difference.

A big Hi 👋 to my new followers. I thought I’d tell you a little bit about myself.

I’ve been a passionate foodie and cook from the earliest age. I learnt how food can nourish and support health, way back when I was a child helping my Italian grandmother pick fresh fruits and vegetables from her large allotment at the end of her garden.

I learnt that food is information for our bodies and each bite can transform how we feel each day and equally poor choices can lead us to disharmony and Dis-Ease! If I had a kidney infection I would have home made barley drinks and soups to support my kidneys, if I was coming down with a lurgy we’d chop up lots of fresh garlic for its antibacterial and anti viral properties and mix with fresh ripe tomatoes, basil and the greenest extra virgin olive to make bruschetta. Bone broth and soups were always a staple every week, packed with prebiotic onions, leeks, garlic and rich in gelatine, L-glutamine to support the mucus membranes and gut and aid rapid recovery. Still to this day I fry up organic chicken livers with balsamic vinegars and serve with a watercress salad if I need energy. Liver is one of the most nutrient dense foods on the planet and I can truly feel it recharging my batteries the following day.

I studied Nutritional Medicine for 4 years achieving a 1st BSc and was fortunate to get my first job at an integrated medical clinic in Harley Street.

It’s now been twenty years since graduating and I am fortunate now to share my knowledge and passion around the globe, hosting wellness retreats (France, Switzerland, St. Lucia, Morocco and working with companies - large and small including Google, The Premier League, Abbott healthcare, Investec, JP Morgan, Trustpilot both in the UK and overseas offering a range of corporate wellbeing talks and workshops.

I head up my own clinic now and I’m super proud of our expert team of clinicians here including the brilliant - disordered eating specialist and sports nutritionist and who specialises in women’s health, long covid and CFS.

Sweet potato and chickpea buddha bowl.

VEGETABLES

* 2 Tbsp olive or avocado oil
* 1/2 medium red onion (sliced in wedges)
* 2 small sweet potatoes (halved)
* 1 bundle broccolini (large stems removed // chopped)
* 2 big handfuls kale (larger stems removed)
* 1/4 tsp each salt + pepper

CHICKPEAS
* 1 can chickpeas (drained, rinsed + patted dry)
* 1 tsp cumin
* 3/4 tsp chili powder
* 3/4 tsp garlic powder
* 1/4 tsp each salt + pepper
* 1/2 tsp tsp oregano (optional)
* 1/4 tsp turmeric (optional)
 TAHINI SAUCE (OPTIONAL)
* 4 Tbsp tahini
* 1 Tbsp maple syrup
* 1/2 medium lemon (juiced)
* 2-4 Tbsp hot water (to thin)

INSTRUCTIONS

* Preheat oven to 180 fan, arrange sweet potatoes, skin down with the onions on a baking sheet. Drizzle both with a bit of oil.
* Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from oven flip sweet potatoes and add broccolini. Drizzle broccolini with a bit of oil and season with a pinch each salt and pepper.
* Bake for another 8-10 minutes, then remove from oven and add kale. Drizzle kale with a touch more oil and season with a pinch each salt and pepper. Bake for another 4-5 minutes then set aside.
* While vegetables are roasting, heat a large frying pan over medium heat and add chickpeas to a mixing bowl and toss with seasonings.
* Once hot, add 1 Tbsp oil and chickpeas and sauté, stirring frequently. If they’re browning too quickly, turn down heat. If there isn’t much browning going on, increase heat. I found 10 minutes total at slightly over medium heat was perfect.
* Once the chickpeas are browned and fragrant, remove from heat and set aside.
* Prepare sauce by adding tahini, maple syrup and lemon juice to a mixing bowl and whisking to combine. Add hot water until a pourable sauce is formed. Set aside.

To serve: slice sweet potatoes into bite size pieces. Divide vegetables between 3 serving bowls and top with chickpeas + tahini sauce.

One of the ways I set myself up for a busy clinic day or hosting a wellness event is with a high protein breakfast. Here are some reasons why a high-protein breakfast is important:

* Increased Thermic Effect of Food (TEF): Protein has a higher thermic effect compared to fats and carbohydrates. This means that the body expends more energy (calories) to digest and process protein. A high-protein breakfast can boost the TEF, contributing to increased calorie expenditure.
* Appetite Regulation: Protein-rich foods are more satiating than carbohydrates or fats, leading to a feeling of fullness and satisfaction. A high-protein breakfast can help regulate appetite and reduce overall calorie intake throughout the day, which may be beneficial for weight management.
* Muscle Protein Synthesis: Consuming protein in the morning helps initiate muscle protein synthesis, which is essential for maintaining and building muscle mass. This is particularly important for individuals who engage in physical activity and for preventing age-related muscle loss.
* Blood Sugar Control: Protein, when combined with carbohydrates, can help stabilise blood sugar levels. This can be advantageous for individuals who are concerned about blood sugar fluctuations, especially those with insulin resistance or diabetes.

I’d love to hear what you’re high quality breakfast looks like.

A huge thank you to all of you that have bought my book and shared it 🙏. It’s now used in schools not only in the UK but also by international to support their well-being programmes.

Working with thousands of teenagers every year I see so many struggling. In my experience, they want to feel better, if not fantastic, more often, but sadly rarely do. I find many not just a few suffer insomnia, low moods/anxiety, fluctuating blood sugar levels leading to poor concentration, low self esteem, issues with weight, body image and their relationship with food – many are intensely fearful of key food groups such as carbohydrates and fats. They intensely dislike feeling ignorant, helpless or suspended in a semi-informed state, and they are all too aware of the phenomenal pressures of mental health, academic focus and body image.

My approach with teenagers is to speak to their relationship with body and mind, teaching them an approach that’s focused on how they can nourish a healthy physical and mental landscape – the objective is to have them understand specifically what their bodies need in order to thrive and perform at their best, and in contrast, to illuminate the effects of deficiencies and poor choices. So the format of my book engages with concise and no-nonsense advice – zero sugar coating, just facts and solutions – to illustrate to these young minds that in no time at all they can dramatically improve their confidence in food and lifestyle choices. Older teens and university students can also follow the quick and easy recipes and snack lists to ensure they stay well, especially when away from home for the first time, which also helps them avoid nutrient-deficient and costly fast food.

I have followed Dr Michael Crawfords work for over 25 years, in fact I did my dissertation on the importance of omega 3 on brain development 22 years ago.

The Shrinking Brain explains how our 21st century diet and lifestyle is negatively impacting our human brains, behaviour, increasing aggression and lowering our cognition and IQ. Approximately 60% of our brains are fat, specifically two fundamental omega 3 fats DHA and EPA - only available through our diets, they are known as ‘essential fats’ as we cannot synthesise them. On average each day we use around 5mg, if we do not regularly replenish them with omega 3 rich foods sources we can see brain changes including low moods/depression, issues with poor focus, word recall, memory, aggression, poor sleep and more.

Recent research found 87.2% of UK teens have insufficient intakes of these vital nutrients. Adults not far off that too. If mothers have low levels of these essential nutrients or indeed other deficiencies then their new borns will be lacking vital nutrients for their brain development in the womb. This is why I advocate for all teens and young people to learn about nutrition . I believe nutrition education is absolutely fundamental, don’t you?Every school or university I visit I find young people, parents and teachers so hungry to learn how to best fuel their bodies and brains to be able to fulfil their potential, from a trusted source as there is so much misinformation out there.

In my opinion this is an essential read so please do share with parents, teachers and friends. I’d love to hear your thoughts if you’ve read it.

For anyone wanting to know where to start on eating better, my book really can help - Eat Well and Feel Great by Tina Lond-Caulk, it’s used in schools nationwide and in international schools to support their PSHE curriculum.
