Nutrition & Homeopathy

02/04/2026

Most people think kidney disease is something that happens to other people. Or something you inherit and can't do much about.
Epigenetics says otherwise.
Your genes are not a fixed programme, they're more like a dimmer switch. And what you eat, how you sleep, how stressed you are, what you feed your gut, whether you fast - these are your hands on that switch.
Every single day.

The five epigenetic levers in this carousel are not theoretical.
Each one has peer-reviewed research linking it directly to kidney gene expression to whether your kidneys' protective pathways are switched on or quietly going dark.
The good news? Every single one is modifiable, right now, without a prescription.

Your immune system is having an identity crisis.
“Is this ME… or NOT me?”
When it gets confused, when it starts attacking you like you’re the enemy - that’s autoimmunity.
But here’s where it gets really interesting 🤯
Emotions aren’t just feelings, they’re biochemical events.
Autoimmunity 101 that nobody teaches you:
✅ Immune cells make cytokines
✅ Cytokines travel to your BRAIN
✅ Your brain changes your mood, energy & behaviour
✅ Your emotional state feeds back into immune activity
It’s a loop - а beautiful, chaotic, very human loop.
Dr Gabor Maté writes about this beautifully in When the Body Says No, if you or someone you love lives with autoimmunity, this book is not optional, it’s a revelation.
Your body and mind aren’t having two separate conversations.
They’re in the same group chat…and it gets spicy.
Read the book and share with someone. Your future self will thank you.

This is what functional nutrition actually looks like in real life.
Not restriction, not punishment, not another diet that leaves you exhausted and frustrated.
It looks like waking up with real energy.
It looks like your gut finally settling.
It looks like your hormones balancing, your brain fog lifting, and remembering what it feels like to actually thrive.

These messages are from real clients who decided to stop pushing through and start getting answers. Women who learned that food is medicine and that their body was never broken, just unsupported.

If you've been struggling with low energy, digestive issues, hormonal imbalances, unexplained weight gain, or just that feeling of being off… this is your sign.
You don't have to figure it out alone.
I work with you to uncover the root cause, rebuild your foundation, and create a personalised nutrition plan that actually fits your life.

Are your kidneys THRIVING or STRUGGLING?

From the types of protein you eat, to how often you reach for processed foods or sugary drinks, and your family’s health history, so many factors can influence how well your kidneys function.

Science shows that early signs of stress on your kidneys can be subtle, like unexplained fatigue or changes in urination, but paying attention to these clues can help you protect your health for years to come.

Understanding your unique risk factors empowers you to make simple changes that can have a profound impact on your wellbeing.

What has genetic gluten intolerance got to do with high blood pressure?

More than you think, way more than your doctor has probably told you.

If you've been managing high blood pressure and nobody has ever mentioned your gut, your genes, or gluten - you might be missing a massive piece of the puzzle.

Swipe through. This one will make you think differently.

Chronically high insulin (hello, processed carbs and snacking culture) causes your kidneys to retain sodium and triggers arterial inflammation. So the real root cause of a lot of “salt-related” hypertension isn’t the salt, it’s the metabolic dysfunction underneath it.
Your body isn’t broken, you’ve just been handed the wrong information.
The goal isn’t to ditch salt - it’s to fix the insulin, feed your cells real minerals, and stop patching symptoms while ignoring the cause.

Wild fermented sauerkraut brine does NOT break your fast and here’s the actual science behind why it’s one of the smartest things you can consume during an extended one:
① Zero insulin response Trace calories mean no metabolic switch. Ketosis and autophagy continue uninterrupted.
② Live Lactobacillus cultures Wild fermentation produces billions of living bacteria. Pasteurised stuff from the supermarket shelf? - dead on arrival.
Make your own or buy raw & refrigerated.

Happy Mother's Day to the girl who made me one 🌸
They said I couldn't have you.
The only doctor who could look after my transplanted kidney told me:
'No children. And if you insist, you're on your own.'

So I left my country to find one who believed otherwise.

Then they said 3% chance.
Scars from surgery, damaged tissue, difficult odds.
x2 IVFs - both failed.

New clinic, fresh eyes, same tests:
'You're healthy! Go home, have s*x' Мариела Даскалова you were amazing 💗🙏🏻

We did.

And I got pregnant the same month….
…and then we lost you.
💔
I can't describe that silence...

So I stopped fighting and started listening:
I cleansed my body of all the synthetic hormones.
I sat with the grief instead of running from it.
I soothed everything that had been pushed, prodded and told it wasn't enough.

3 months later …
…you came back
The real you, the one who was always meant to arrive 🌞

Today you challenge me at every corner just like I challenged everyone who told me you couldn't exist.
and I have never been more grateful for anything in my entire life.

Happy Mother's Day to every woman still in her 3%.

Your story isn't finished. 🧬

120+ hours, still here 😊
I'm preparing my homeopathy for the day and right now, alongside water and minerals.
Homeopathy is an energetic frequency medicine. At this stage of a fast, the body is functioning primarily on ENERGY!
and I use 4 remedies to keep my detox pathways open.
I'm in unknown territory - I've fasted before, but never a water fast beyond 72 hours. Some of this is extraordinary, some of it is not easy but the body has an extraordinary intelligence when we get out of its way.

Honest update - I've had bad heartburn for a couple of days. It's gone right now. If it comes back, that may be my body's signal to start refeeding.

You don't need to fast for five days to start taking care of your kidneys. You just need to start paying attention to them.

Hour 110, still fasting! Thriving? …probably 😊
Sauerkraut brine during a fast is one of the most underrated moves in the game - live probiotics, loads of natural electrolytes, and a hit of vitamin C. All the good stuff, none of the triggers.

And here's the nerdy bit - at 72+ hours, your body enters deep mitophagy, a targeted cellular clean-up where damaged mitochondria get broken down and recycled. The kidneys are particularly active in this phase, clearing out dysfunctional kidney cells and rebuilding more efficient ones.
Basically, your body becomes its own surgeon... for free.

The brine keeps electrolytes topped up so your kidneys can actually do that job without cramping, fatigue or feeling like a raisin.
Science is wild, and fermentation is older than civilisation. And this tastes amazing.
🧬 Save this if you fast.

And if this got you thinking about your kidney health - great, that's the point. My free 7-minute Kidney Health Assessment just launched. It takes less time than drinking your brine 😉 Link: https://kidney-health-score.scoreapp.com
