💜 Gut-loving Chocolate Mousse the Whole Family Will Love! 💜

This is one of our favourite nourishing treats – a truly prebiotic + probiotic chocolate mousse that supports your child’s gut health while tasting absolutely delicious! 😋

It’s made with flavoursome cherry kefir, rich organic cacao powder, and a colourful blend of berry powders – including bilberry, blackcurrant, blueberry, and sea buckthorn – with just a touch of maple syrup for natural sweetness. 🍒🫐

You can easily swap the maple syrup for organic honey, inulin syrup, or even a little stevia if that works better for your family (for older children)🌿

The berries, cacao, and maple syrup aren’t just tasty – they’re full of prebiotic plant compounds that help feed the good bacteria and yeast in the kefir, creating a gut-friendly dessert that encourages a diverse microbiome for your child.

🙏Thank you Epilepsy Research Institute for the amazing opportunity to contribute to the new research project you have funded and
which meets the criteria of the Top 10 Research Priorities in Epilepsy: Unlocking Refractory Epilepsy with AI!

🧐It was lovely to meet the AI-Researchers, Neurologists and People with epilepsy and share our knowledge and skills to fine tune the project, which I believe will hugely benefit individuals whose seizures and epilepsy do not respond well to current anti-seizure medications ASM, Surgery or Ketogenic Dietary Therapies.

💡I look forward to working together over the next couple of years to improve the lives of everyone affected by epilepsy and seizures.

🙏I find the topic of Microbiome and Epilepsy fascinating and truly believe one day Microbiome targeting therapies may become a novel adjuvant treatment option for drug resistant epilepsies.

💡Another great research project to support people with epilepsy & seizures I was privileged to contribute to.

This research investigates if breath and skin molecules can be used to confirm if someone has had an epileptic seizure or a psychogenic seizure, and to help predict the occurrence of seizures. The test could be available for Emergency services to help with the diagnosis.

⌚️Researchers are in the planning stages to develop a portable wearable device that could be used for people affected by seizures.

🦮The inspiration behind the project comes from the ability of our pet dogs to predict and react to their owners’s seizures. 🩷

🪴Supporting Your Child’s Development — Naturally and Gently

As parents, we’re always searching for safe, effective ways to support our children’s growth and development, especially when they face the challenges of Epilepsy, Autism, Global Developmental Delay, Intellectual Disability, ADHD, or rare genetic conditions like Phelan-McDermid Syndrome.

A recent clinical review has brought encouraging news. Researchers looked at a gentle, natural approach called Metabolic Support Therapy (MST) using a combination of Q10 ubiquinol, Vitamin E, and certain B-complex vitamins.

🩷What they found might give us hope:

🌟Over 3 in 4 children and young adults in the study showed improvement

🌟Effects were most noticeable in thinking skills/cognition, daily functioning, and social engagement

🌟One young boy even gained over 20 IQ points in 6 months

🌟Particularly strong effects were seen in children who also had intellectual disability

🕊️The therapy was well tolerated, with only mild, temporary side effects like restlessness or difficulty sleeping in some children.

🧠 This nutritional therapy supports the brain’s energy factories (mitochondria), which are often affected in neurodevelopmental conditions. While this isn’t a cure, it may help bring out more potential in your child—working alongside medical treatments and therapies you already use.

📖The study was small, and more research is needed, but these early results are very promising.

✨If you’d like to learn more or explore whether this approach could be right for your family, please get in touch and I will be happy to support you.

Thank you ESNA (Epilepsy Nurses Association) for an amazing Prescribing and Treatment Training day!

It was so lovely to meet colleagues, talk to company representatives and hear about excellent clinical practices in the field of epilepsy.

I was particularly inspired to learn about emerging clinical trials using new compounds and non drug approaches such as dietary, surgical and neuromodulatory treatments. It was great to know a new nocturnal seizure alarm has become available in the UK which could benefit those whose seizures happen from sleep.

This knowledge will enhance my holistic epilepsy nutritional therapy practice and help to integrate personalised food and lifestyle practices with the Epilepsy Care Plan.

It was an amazing experience to participate in the pilot project by sharing my thoughts as a parent with lived experience and a health professional.

Caregiver mental health is often overlooked and building resilience with psychological and nutritional support is a foundation for family’ health and well-being.

We are offering a Nutritional and Lifestyle programme to build the caregiver resilience.
