It was a great documentary, and shows how our Western diet is mainly to blame for all the degenerative diseases we are seeing increase year after year. 2 main reasons - inflammation and gut health....all directly impacted and controlled by what we eat. Have a look and let me know what you think!

What if most of our modern diseases are really just symptoms of the same problem? The Magic Pill follows doctors, patients, scientists, chefs, farmers and journalists from around the globe who are combating illness through a paradigm shift in eating. And this simple change - embracing fat as our mai...

I'm very excited to share my offering for this year.

If you want to "Thrive in 2025", start with investing in YOUR health.

Unfortunately, the NHS is struggling to offer GP appointments to those that have the health "niggles". Unless your leg is hanging off, or there's a life-threatening condition, you're put on a list....

This is the year that you can get your health back, sort out any problems and go from strength to strength.

This new package includes full blood testing that will give us the reason you're feeling tired, or have brain fog, or can't shift the weight, or can't sleep, or lacking energy, or experiencing cravings, hunger, or bloated, or low mood. The list is endless.

Yes, you can get these test "for free" via the NHS, but you have to try to get an appoinment, then request a full blood panel, which they are inclined to refuse, and only offer you a specific test for a specific symptom. Then you have to wait several weeks for your results. We get your results within 48 hours and can work on your plan straight away.

My colleague and I will be offering this to corporate businesses as well. We'll be able to run as "pop up" clinics in your place of work. So if you want to invest in your employees to get the best out of them, contact me today, or share this with your HR department.

You don't have to be in a couple to take up this package. My colleague specialises in Men, I specialise in women....

PRICE PROMISE IS A TOTAL CON! I'm left in total disbelief! They have given me a code 2 days in a row to purchase using their "price promise", neither have worked. Their suggestion was that it's a fault with my computer and to purchase at their price and then apply for a refund for the difference. Please be aware that this is not a price promise at all.... promise

🚽 TOILET TIME! 🚽

According to a UK survey, men spend an average of 1 hour 35 mins on the toilet a week, and women, just 55 minutes.

Why do you think this is?

👨 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗽𝘀? 𝗪𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗮𝗻𝘀𝘄𝗲𝗿?

I can only answer for the female of the species….

I think my “toilet time” went up when the kids were small as it was a method of escaping, but now, I don’t feel the need to be sitting for longer than necessary. Perhaps it’s because I feel I’ve always got something I need to be doing. ⌛

Back in my IBS days, the time was definitely longer! I won’t overshare, just leave that one to your imagination!

🚻 𝑺𝒐 𝒘𝒉𝒚 𝒂𝒎 𝑰 𝒑𝒐𝒔𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒂𝒃𝒐𝒖𝒕 𝒕𝒊𝒎𝒆 𝒐𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒕𝒐𝒊𝒍𝒆𝒕? 𝑻𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝒊𝒔 𝒔𝒐𝒎𝒆 𝒓𝒆𝒍𝒆𝒗𝒂𝒏𝒄𝒆….𝒊𝒕’𝒔 𝒕𝒐 𝒈𝒆𝒕 𝒑𝒆𝒐𝒑𝒍𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒌𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒂𝒃𝒐𝒖𝒕 𝒊𝒕. 𝑻𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝒊𝒔 𝒂 𝒉𝒖𝒎𝒐𝒓𝒐𝒖𝒔 𝒔𝒊𝒅𝒆, 𝒃𝒖𝒕 𝒂 𝒔𝒆𝒓𝒊𝒐𝒖𝒔 𝒔𝒊𝒅𝒆 𝒕𝒐𝒐.

If your toilet habits are changing, and your having different movements from usual, this is a clear sign that something’s not quite right. Your gut could be struggling with an intolerance, inflammation, poor digestion, lack of fibre or many other things. 🫛 🥕

💩 Normal, is different for everyone one, but as a general rule, for a healthy “poo” think “ long sausage like”!

Reach out of you have any questions, and I’ll look forward to hearing your answers as to why men like to “sit” for so long!

Let's hear your thoughts, I've probably overshared in this post! 😁
