Wow this is quite a start to 2026!!! Thank you what an absolute honour.

24/12/2025

I just had to share this. Not just because it’s Christmas, but for everyday.

So much of what I see is the patho-physiology of never resting.
Adrenals running on fumes.
Hormones constantly compensating.
Inflammation as a language the body uses when it’s no longer being listened to.
The doing and not the being.

But this isn’t just biology.
It’s inheritance.

Many of us were raised watching women prove their worth through doing. Through giving. Through pushing past tiredness, hunger, emotion, intuition. Rest was earned. Or worse - rest was selfish. I certainly was.

And then we wonder why our daughters are anxious.
Why our sons struggle to slow down.
Why our nervous systems don’t know safety.

Rest is not laziness.
Rest is regulation.
Rest is repair.
Rest is leadership.

When your children see you lie down in the middle of the day, you are teaching them nervous system safety.
When your mother sees you sit with a cup of tea while the dishes wait, you are gently breaking a generational contract.
When your friends see you unpolished and unproductive, you are giving them permission to exhale.

When your clients and colleagues see you rest, you are modelling sustainable success - not burnout disguised as dedication. Something I encourage my whole team to do.

In medicine, in business, in motherhood - I no longer believe that constant output is a virtue.
Health is built in the pauses.
Hormones recalibrate in stillness.
Mitochondria repair in rest.
Healing requires safety, and safety requires slowing down.

So if you needed permission today, let this be it.

Let them see you rest.
Because when you rest, you don’t just heal yourself -
you quietly tell the people around you that it’s safe for them to rest too.

Thank you

🤍

On the darkest day of the year, our bodies are still exquisitely wired for light.

Ancient cultures instinctively gathered around sunrise and fire; today we can quantify that light timing tunes our circadian clock, blood sugar, mood and overnight repair. I took this photo on one of my dog walks a couple of days ago.

A brand spanking new publication in Cell Metabolism (yes I read this stuff for fun) led by Dr Jan‑Frieder Harmsen showed that simply working in real daylight (vs standard office lighting) improved glucose control and shifted metabolism toward more fat‑burning in people with type 2 diabetes.

My kids roll their eyes at how excited I get about this, but from today the days start getting longer again – and that really does matter for our metabolic and mental health.

This winter solstice, treat light like a little dose of something good for you:

• Get 10–20 minutes of outdoor morning light.
• Work near a window when you can.
• Dim screens and overhead lights in the evening to protect sleep and melatonin.

Your brain not only perceives light intensity but also direction. So we are literally wired for this stuff. It’s all data that tells our body about what is going on right now. Sympathetic vs parasympathetic?

You don’t just eat and move your way to health – you also light your way there.🌅

Ending out the year with some of the loveliness ‘fall outs’ that happen when I do this work. A thank you card and bunch of flowers from my patient who is a teenager suffering with some significant acne. Bad enough to totally change how he shows up in this world. At a time when he wants to be out there meeting and mingling, he’s hiding away.

What also really got me was that he was doing ‘all the things’ he had read about. Trying to eat well and sleep and train. But there were some key pieces missing.

So together we started the work. Focusing on internal health along side external health using my Human Health Methodology. My job is to provide the health strategy. And whilst I can’t post his pictures, I think the card and flowers says it all.

Inside and outside. Skin health is no accident. I love using a multi systems approach and skin is simply a biomarker of health. And I’d like to remind us that he has done all the hard work. I’ve just signposted the way.

We could have talked all night… and you truly are the best collector and joiner of humans. You are looking at some of the brightest minds in the health space - ready to transform not only your individual health care but disrupt the future of health in the UK and globally. Thank you to each and everyone of you for last night. Here are the incredible take aways from our chats that David has shared from his ‘notes’:

1. Longevity medicine is the next evolution of general practice.
2. Huge opportunity to design longevity for women + children.
3. Our homes will become longevity environments.
4. People need incentives + awakening.
5. Good medicine needs infrastructure, not heroics.
6. Doctors should educate openly on social media + declare conflicts.
7. Many still fear peer judgement.
8. Private medicine is still stigmatised in the UK.
9. We need a universal definition of longevity medicine.
10. Standardisation will accelerate acceptance.
11. Longevity isn’t disease management.
12. It’s a trusted partnership for someone’s entire health journey.

These points could scare many people away from change — but they’re actually opportunities for innovation, education and community.

Part of our role is shining light into the murky corners for colleagues who are scared to even look at doing health differently. Many feel stuck, unable to look up because the system has pushed them down for so long.

As doctors in this space - we must embody the change:
• soften the transition for doctors leaving the NHS
• show that a new way of caring is possible
• centre the patient’s true health in everything
• continually ask: “How can I serve you for your highest good?”
• and audit our processes so we can prove that what we do moves the needle.

It might sound too idealistic - but every shift starts with a vision. And it’s on us, guiding the next generation of doctors, to show that true change is possible.

To redefine what it means to be a doctor.

Walking down the corridors as a schoolgirl at , I remember looking at the names of incredible women who had gone before me - women who achieved extraordinary things.

I never imagined my own name would one day join that list.

Being part of the Wall of 150 Women for the school’s 150th anniversary is an honour I carry with deep gratitude.

Croydon High taught us to dream without limits.
It sparked my desire to become a doctor and planted the seed of my lifelong mission to transform women’s healthcare.

I am here because of all the women who held the door open for me - teachers, alumnae, mentors, family, friends - whose belief, bravery and brilliance showed me what was possible.

And now the mural leaves space for the girls of today - the next generation who will dream boldly, step forward bravely, and inspire others in turn. ✨💛

My heart is heavy today. What began as a post about our recent fundraising celebration has shifted… because today it’s all about the typhoon. Too many lives have already been lost in Sri Lanka, and the numbers keep climbing. And for those who are left - what now?

I was born in Sri Lanka and would consider myself die hard Sri Lankan. All my fondest memories live there: running around with my cousins, part of a true ‘collective’; food and love shared equally; long days at the beach; dropping in on yet another auntie only to be fed more cake and hot, sugary tea (yes my first grounding in metabolic health 😳). I can still feel the tropical humidity on my skin. And the kindness… the kindness will never leave me. Never.

Which is why my heart feels like it’s been ripped out of my chest. The images my family are sending from home fill me with helplessness - but I am here, and I am able to help.

I am delighted that my business to partnered with Their Future Today back in 2020, for so many reasons - but never more than now, when the very fabric of my beloved homeland is in jeopardy. I know, with absolute certainty, that every pound donated goes straight to where it is needed most.

Please donate if you can. I know times are financially tough for all of us. But TFT have partnered with The Big Give, who will double every donation made. Please give as you are able but know that:

💛 Every pound becomes two.
💛 Every act of generosity becomes twice as impactful.
💛 Every penny goes to grassroots support.

👉 Donate: Link is in bio above.

Sri Lanka, I will never forget your love. Today, I’m asking all of us to send some right back. 🙏🇱🇰

Over the years, my approach to women’s health and preventative care has evolved enormously - sub specialising in the metabolic space has changed how I view everything. Not overnight - but through a steady accumulation of learning, clinical experience, and a genuine curiosity about why women’s bodies behave the way they do at different stages of life.

I’ve become increasingly interested in the “terrain” or house model for those of you who have come to my workshops! This is the environment inside and outside the body that influences how we feel, how we age, and how disease can either take hold or be prevented.

When we understand the terrain, everything changes: symptoms make more sense, treatment becomes more targeted, and prevention becomes something we can actively shape, not simply hope for. For my patients - it puts them firmly back in the driver’s seat of their health even in the face of some scary and complicated sounding diagnoses.

For me, this has meant shifting from a single-issue, symptom-led approach to one that weaves together gut health, hormones, brain-body connection, mitochondrial resilience and lifestyle. Women are not small men — and our physiology deserves to be understood on its own terms.

So I’m genuinely delighted to now be a listed practitioner on the Metabolic Terrain Institute of Health. It’s a community that aligns with how I practise, how I think, and how I want to contribute to women’s health going forward. Thank you for welcoming me with open arms and encouraging my learning. I am so incredibly grateful for your teachings, and ongoing support in this space.

Here’s to a more empowered, personalised and proactive model of care - especially for women who often fall through the gaps in traditional health systems.

These women have seen me at my best and worst through medical school, work, new partners and old, loss and change. Three decades of love, companionship and joy. Women who know each other so well that there’s no need to explain. Life is here for this.

And why am I - as a doctor sharing this on my work insta? Well because I will show up for you as a doctor as authentically as possible. As my whole self. I too experience the highs and lows of a health journey and will remind you gently of what you need your good health for. To love and live in joy.

We also know that the friends you have at 50 years of age dictate your friendship groups when you are 80. So here is to many more years of companionship.

Health is love, connection and laughter. Remembering and being loved for who you have been as a 20 year old as well as a nearly 50 year old is a privilege. Thank you ladies. Shame we didn’t finish the treasure hunt around London but we were too busy eating and laughing.
