The Spring Equinox marks a real shift in both nature and the body. In this blog I explore what that means from a naturopathic perspective, including why we often feel a bit run down at this time of year, how to support the liver, lymphatic system and immune health, and some simple ways to work with the season rather than against it. https://www.thriveclinic.uk/blog/ostara-and-the-spring-equinox

Pussy-willow 💚 look at all that pollen for the early bees. I love March, It’s a bit of an overture month. April is where the show starts but this little peep of what’s to come is so wonderful 🌱💚

As we move into March, we enter the Chinese medicine element of Wood, the season of sap rising and life building quietly inside the trees, buds swelling before they unfurl. There is movement happening now, even if we cannot quite see it yet.

In traditional Chinese medicine this season is linked to the liver, and every year around this time I notice it, both in clinic and in myself. A few more headaches, slightly sluggish digestion, vivid dreams, a bit more tiredness, sometimes even a spring cold. Nothing dramatic, just little whispers from the body asking for support.

Your liver is already detoxifying for you every second of every day without you having to think about it, constantly processing hormones, alcohol, medications and metabolic waste. It never stops. March is simply a beautiful time to gently support it, not with harsh cleanses or punishing detoxes, but with simple, grounded changes as vitality begins to rise again.

What can you do to help yourself? Less alcohol, fewer processed foods and sugars, more water, more leafy greens, simpler meals, a little lighter and a little cleaner.

I had my acupuncture this week and my tongue confirmed what I already felt, a little liver support was needed, which tends to happen for me most springs.

My go to is fermented dandelion extract by Regopur, just a capful daily. If you are not used to fermented flavours the first taste can make you question it, but that is simply the fermentation doing its thing.

You can find it here

If you prefer a capsule, I also really like Taracyn by Bionutri
🌱 https://naturaldispensary.co.uk/132_taracyn-30s

I also love dandelion coffee by Aquasol as a gentle daily support

You can use my code EVMRLY125 if you would like.

Add Epsom salt baths, lemon water, body brushing, saunas or castor oil packs, and you are giving your body a lovely nudge in the right direction.

March is the build up, April is the bloom, so let’s tend to our invisible places now and like the buds on the trees, when it is our time to unfurl we will feel ready 🌿✨

Ever wondered whether you could be carrying hidden heavy metals like lead, mercury or aluminium without even knowing it?

Most toxic metals do not stay in the bloodstream for long. The body moves them out of circulation quickly and stores them in tissue, bone, hair and nails to protect you. That means you can have ongoing exposure and still be told your blood tests look normal.

Hair testing gives us a longer-term picture. It can reveal patterns of aluminium, mercury, arsenic and other toxic metals, alongside your essential mineral balance.

If you are dealing with fatigue, brain fog, mood shifts, inflammatory pain or neurological symptoms that are not fully explained, it may be time to look a little deeper.

Test your heavy metals here:

Or choose the Heavy Metal Detox Programme, which includes the test and your initial consultation to begin a structured plan:

Good old John Lewis! That is certainly good to know. Also, thank you Becky Excell Gluten Free for sharing this info. If you are gluten free and haven’t discovered Becky’s recipe books yet… you’re missing out!

Weight loss injections are everywhere right now. Before I say anything else, let me be very clear.
I am not here to judge anyone.

If you have chosen to use weight loss injections, you will have thought long and hard about it. Many people come to this decision after years of frustration, dieting, hormonal shifts, perimenopause, insulin resistance or feeling completely stuck. I understand that, I just want to make sure that you are doing it safely.

Appetite suppression is powerful. But when hunger disappears, nutrition often disappears with it, leaving you at risk.

When you are on your weight loss journey, the body still needs protein.
It still needs iron.
It still needs B vitamins.
It still needs omega three.
It still needs fuel.

If you are using weight loss injections, you deserve proper support. My recent blog outlines the risks and how to prioritise your eating. If you are on them, or considering them, please take a read.

Over the past year I have been quietly supporting people six to twelve months down the line who are struggling and some of the symptoms I have seen have been quite shocking.

I have seen significant muscle loss rather than just fat loss.
I have seen iron deficiency anaemia.
I have seen profound nutrient depletion.
I have seen blood sugar crashes and dizziness.
I have seen one very sad case of cognitive decline that is now likely to be irreversible. These are not scare tactics. These are real people I have worked with.

And if you are already experiencing fatigue, hair thinning, dizziness, weakness or brain fog while using them, please do not ignore it.

Hair testing for toxic metals has a fascinating and slightly dark history.
It was first developed in Victorian England to investigate arsenic poisoning and allowed investigators to detect toxins long after exposure.
What began in crime labs is now a respected testing method used in forensic science to analyse substances, drugs and toxic exposure over time.

In one cohort study of young offenders, every individual tested showed very high levels of aluminium.
Aluminium is a recognised neurotoxin and has been associated with impulsivity, poor decision-making, emotional volatility and reduced cognitive clarity.
Neurotoxins such as aluminium are of particular interest. Aluminium is known to interfere with normal nerve signalling and brain chemistry.

While toxicity does not excuse behaviour, it raises important questions about how environmental exposure may influence brain function and emotional regulation.

But the relevance of this test goes far beyond criminal investigation, it has been a favourite method of assessing mental and physical health in the functional medicine world for a long time.

Hair testing provides a unique window into long-term mineral balance and toxic burden.

Because hair reflects what the body has been exposed to over months, not just hours or days. It can reveal patterns that blood tests often miss. This makes it particularly useful when looking at chronic symptoms, neurological stress and mental health concerns.

Toxic metals can accumulate silently and contribute to severe fatigue, mood instability, brain fog, anxiety and immune dysregulation.

Identifying and supporting safe detoxification pathways can be a powerful step towards restoring clarity, balance and resilience.

Heavy metal toxicity happens when elements like aluminium, lead, mercury or cadmium build up in your body faster than your detox systems can eliminate them. Over time, these stubborn metals can disrupt your nervous system, hormones, gut, immune function and energy production, contributing to symptoms such as severe fatigue, brain fog, headaches, mood changes and autoimmune flares.
The good news? It can be assessed non-invasively with a Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis, which provides a snapshot of your mineral balance and toxic burden, so you know exactly what support your body needs.

Alcohol is deeply normalised, but that does not make it harmless.

Even small, regular amounts increase cancer risk and impact the gut, liver, hormones, brain chemistry, sleep, inflammation and mental health.

That can feel uncomfortable to hear. But there is also good news.

The body begins repairing far sooner than most people realise. When alcohol is removed, inflammation starts to calm, the liver begins healing, the gut barrier repairs, sleep improves and brain chemistry starts to rebalance.

Many people notice clearer thinking, a steadier mood and more consistent energy within weeks.

This is not about fear or shame. It is about informed choice and giving the body space to do what it already knows how to do.

Dry January or any alcohol free period is not a punishment. It is a reset.

Your body is always working for you, even after years of drinking.

I’ve always loved the Winter Solstice. There’s something comforting about the reminder that even at the darkest point of the year, the light is already returning.
