Before drinking:
* NAC (N-acetylcysteine) 600-1200mg about 30 minutes before - this supports glutathione production, which helps your liver process acetaldehyde (the toxic alcohol metabolite that causes much of hangover misery)
* B-complex vitamin - alcohol depletes B vitamins rapidly, especially B1, B6, and B12
* Electrolytes - start hydrated with minerals like magnesium, potassium, and sodium
* Eat a substantial meal with healthy fats and protein to slow alcohol absorption
During drinking:
* Alternate each alcoholic drink with water containing electrolytes
* Stick to clearer spirits if possible - darker alcohols have more congeners (fermentation byproducts) that worsen hangovers
* Avoid sugary mixers which can exacerbate blood sugar crashes
Before bed:
* More water with electrolytes
* Milk thistle (silymarin) 150-300mg - supports liver detoxification
* Another dose of NAC if you didn’t take it earlier
* Magnesium glycinate 200-400mg - helps with sleep quality and muscle relaxation
Women-specific considerations:
* Women generally have lower levels of alcohol dehydrogenase (the enzyme that breaks down alcohol), so the same amount affects us more
* Hormonal fluctuations DO matter…you’ll likely feel effects more during the luteal phase (post-ovulation)
* Consider lower alcohol intake overall due to these metabolic differences
The key is being proactive rather than reactive….prevention works far better than trying to fix things the next morning.

Listen to outside and your body type and learn to respond. In the winter, nature is providing us denser heavy, nutrient dense food. Why we have more soups and stews, because the outer world, winds are dry. We don’t want that dryness to get inside us.

- Have your heaviest meal at lunch, and nourishing soups at night.
- Add spices: Ginger, cinnamon, clove, black pepper for your digestive fire.
- Alcohol tips: Mulled wine was created for digestion. You can drink alcohol this season! , fruit derived wine helps keep heat in the body in the cold.
- if you’re an A type personality or perimenopause time extra heat in the body - shift from red wine to prosecco.

- When are you pooping? When do you have your last meal. We really really want to be excavating our bowels first thing in the morning, and we shouldn’t be eating until we have.

Monday Mantras ✨

This week is about recognising your resilience, your growth, your capacity.

In Italian, the word for heart is cuore.
To have courage is, quite literally, to go back to the heart.

Your vision will become clear only when you can look into your own heart...Who looks outside dreams; who looks inside awakes.

Join us tonight for Monday Meditation night. To come together to listen to your inner self….and when we come together to listen to your stillness we create ripples.

DM YES and I’ll send you Zoom for 7pm UK Monday (tonight!)

The leaves are turning golden, the wind is rising, and the markets are full of squash and root vegetables🍁

We’ve moved from needing cooling summer foods tomatoes, cucumbers, melon…into the season of warmth and grounding.

Nature always gives us clues: root vegetables to nourish our microbiome, slow cooking to tend to our inner fire, rest to restore our rhythm.

Still feeling drained weeks after a viral infection?

Post-viral fatigue, from Long COVID to post-flu exhaustion is often linked to mitochondrial and immune stress. In simple terms: your cells’ energy factories are struggling to keep up, leaving you with brain fog, non restorative sleep, and fatigue from activity.

These strategies can help:

1️⃣ Fuel your mitochondria, nutrient-dense foods like eggs, oily fish, leafy greens, legumes, nuts & seeds.

2️⃣ Look at supplementation to support ATP production: CoQ10, L-carnitine, zinc, selenium, B vitamins (lab-guided and clinician-approved). Dosing is key here.

3️⃣ Manage energy, don’t push through: gentle walks, restorative yoga, and planned rest windows protect your cells and speed recovery.

4️⃣ Sleep and reset your nervous system, consistent sleep routines, short breathwork sessions, and HRV exercises support mitochondrial repair.

💡 Early, targeted support can prevent lingering fatigue and help you recover faster.

If you’ve been recovering slowly after infection, or constantly catching colds, a personalised bioenergetic plan can make a real difference.

Preventing post-viral fatigue: Easy interventions to incorporate this Autumn Key takeaway: Persistent fatigue after viral infections often stems from mitochondrial and immune system stress.

Where do you feel most authentic/alive?
What patterns keep showing up in your life?
What would change if you fully trusted yourself?
What’s your relationship with your intuition?

Caroline Myss asks a question that has me pondering lately, as I reflect on consultations I have in clinic:

“I’m not interested in why you got sick. I’m interested in why you didn’t live fully. Why you didn’t live WELL.”

Here’s what I’ve noticed after a decade of working with people:

Most of us aren’t sick in the traditional sense. We’re depleted because we’ve given our power away. To jobs that drain us. To relationships that diminish us. To trends that tell us we’re broken. To validation from the outside world.

We’ve forgotten we are creators.

We came here with a sacred birthright - a blueprint, an authentic code - and somewhere along the way, we abandoned it for what we thought we should be.

This is why I’m offering Divine Blueprint Sessions.

I’ve always weaved it into my work on the side, but it’s just too important now and I’m spending most of my consultations educating and guiding on this.

Through astrology, Human Design, and energetic pattern work, we decode YOUR authentic code - the one you were born with, the one you’ve forgotten, the one your soul has been calling at you to remember.

In 90 minutes together, we explore:

✨ Where you’ve given your power away (and how to call it back)
✨ Your soul’s authentic design (not who you think you should be)
✨ Your unique decision-making authority (so you never betray yourself again)
✨ The patterns your soul keeps creating (and what it’s trying to teach you)
✨ How to live from your center, not from external validation

With love

Hello friends 🫶🏼
I took some time off this summer to to do what Summer does best….listen, to slow down, learn, and bathe my senses in natures wisdom, connections, and beauty ✨🌸🌊

As we approach the Autumn Equinox, the time is right for harvesting. Ask yourself what lessons you have learned in this season of solitude?

Reflect on what in your life has come full circle. Who were you in Springtime, when we lived in a world entirely different from the one we now inhabit? Who do you wish to become as the year continues to ripen and return to the Earth for renewal?…

I’m back with a full schedule of offerings, news, collaborations that I can’t wait to share as the season unfolds.

To your soul sacred beauty 🌀✨
