Is your gut trying to tell you something? 🌿

Most of us have been ignoring the signals for so long that we've started to think the way we feel is just… normal. It isn't.

Persistent bloating. Constant tiredness. Skin flare-ups. Brain fog. Low mood. Getting ill all the time.

These aren't just random symptoms — they can all be your gut asking for attention.

In our latest blog post, we break down 7 of the most common signs that your gut health needs support, why they happen, and what you can do about them.

If any of these signs sound familiar, a food intolerance test or naturopathic consultation could help you get to the bottom of what's going on. Book at health-sense.co.uk or call 07834 351 139. 💚

Your gut does a remarkable job of communicating with you. The trouble is, most of us have been ignoring its signals for so long that we've started to think the way we feel is just… normal. It isn't.

Are you doing everything right and still exhausted? 😴

Sleeping enough. Not overdoing it. Living a reasonably healthy life. And yet the tiredness just… won't shift.

If that sounds familiar, the reason might be something you haven't considered yet.

In our latest post, we look at 6 often-overlooked causes of persistent fatigue — from unidentified food intolerances and blood sugar crashes to nutrient deficiencies and adrenal stress. And importantly, what you can actually do about each one.

Because "just get more sleep" isn't always the answer.

👉 Read it here: https://www.health-sense.co.uk/post/always-tired-here-are-6-reasons-your-energy-isn-t-coming-back-and-what-to-do-about-them

If you've been struggling with fatigue and feel like you need proper answers, a naturopathic consultation with Laura could be exactly what you need.

You're sleeping. You're not overdoing it. You're doing everything you're "supposed" to do — and yet you're still exhausted. Sound familiar? Persistent, unexplained fatigue is one of the most common concerns I hear in practice, and it's one of the most frustrating, because it's so easy to dismiss.

🥚 Eggs, Choline & Cholesterol — Let’s Clear This Up 👇

Eggs are one of the most complete, nourishing foods you can eat — and yes, you can enjoy more than just one or two.

✨ Can you eat 4 eggs a day?
For most healthy people — absolutely. Up to 3–4 eggs daily is generally considered safe and can be incredibly beneficial, especially if you need more protein, choline, or nutrient density.

✨ Choline = brain + liver support
Eggs are one of the richest sources of choline, supporting memory, focus, detox pathways, and hormone balance.

✨ Let’s talk cholesterol (the truth)
Eggs contain cholesterol — but dietary cholesterol has minimal impact on blood cholesterol for most people.
In fact, eggs can help:
✔️ Raise “good” HDL cholesterol
✔️ Support hormone production (cholesterol is the building block!)
✔️ Improve overall cholesterol balance in many cases

✨ Blood sugar + energy stability
Protein + healthy fats = fewer crashes, reduced cravings, and sustained energy.

✨ Nutrient-dense & bioavailable
Eggs provide B vitamins, selenium, vitamin D, and essential fats in a form your body can actually use.

🥚 Don’t skip the yolk — that’s where the choline, vitamins, and healthy fats live.

As always, quality matters:
👉 Opt for organic, pasture-raised eggs where possible

Simple, powerful nutrition — no fear needed.

Unpopular opinion: The microwave might be the most normalised health compromise in your kitchen.

Before you roll your eyes — hear me out.

We question seed oils.
We question ultra-processed foods.
We question water filters and non-stick pans.

But we rarely question the metal box on the counter that blasts our food with radiation so we can eat in 90 seconds.

Yes, microwave radiation is “non-ionising.”
Yes, it’s considered safe.

But safe doesn’t always mean optimal.

Microwaves heat food by aggressively exciting water molecules. It’s fast. It’s intense. And it’s uneven.

Have you ever:
• Burnt your mouth while the middle was still cold?
• Noticed leftovers feel rubbery or oddly dry?
• Felt strangely bloated after a reheated ready meal?

Food isn’t just calories. It’s structure, enzymes, energy, texture.
And when we prioritise speed over quality every single day, that adds up.

I’m not saying throw yours out tomorrow.

I am saying — if you’re already dealing with inflammation, fatigue, hormonal chaos, poor digestion… maybe it’s worth asking:

Are we choosing convenience over nourishment more often than we realise?

Slow cooking.
Pan reheating.
Steam.
Real heat.

Sometimes the upgrade isn’t a new supplement.

It’s stepping away from the 90-second solution.

Would you give it up if you knew it was even slightly better for your health?

It’s not always behaviour. Sometimes it’s blood sugar.

When blood glucose drops quickly, the body releases adrenaline and cortisol.

In children, this can look like:

• Sudden tears
• Explosive reactions
• Irritability
• “Out of nowhere” meltdowns
• Refusing food but clearly dysregulated

Now layer neurodivergence on top.

Many ND children:
– Don’t feel hunger early (interoception differences)
– Hyperfocus and forget to eat
– Prefer quick carbohydrates
– Struggle with protein textures

So they often miss the early hunger window… and crash harder.

This isn’t about strict food rules.

It’s about stability.

Sometimes supporting regulation starts with:
✔️ Regular protein
✔️ Balanced snacks
✔️ Gentle structure
✔️ Reduced mealtime pressure

Not discipline.
Not shame.
Not “they’ll eat if they’re hungry.”

Nervous systems need fuel.

Eat Organic if you can 👌

Does that make us dumber than the animals?

They know based on taste and being in touch with their bodies and sense NOT to eat it.

We on the other hand know it's sprayed, can read it on the labels, can see videos and posts and studies about the damage it does, be living with the damage and STILL buy it from these people and eat it (and give it to our unsuspecting kids).

Go figure!!

HALLOWEEN & THE HIDDEN TOXIC OVERLOAD

This may be a tough post for some to read, but it needs to be said…

We are watching a generation of children become sicker, heavier, and more inflamed than ever before. Dis-eases that were once seen only in adults (fatty liver, insulin resistance, anxiety disorders, autoimmune conditions) are now showing up in kids.

And while most people shrug and say, “Oh, it’s just Halloween,” the truth is… it’s not just Halloween.

It’s the start of a seasonal sugar spiral that lasts for months... Halloween, Christmas, New Year’s, Valentine’s, Easter... a revolving door of “celebrations” that have become nothing more than socially accepted cycles of toxic overload.

The sweet’s bowl may be gone in a week, but the effects linger for a lifetime.

Why Is Sugar So Addictive?
Because it’s not the sugar of decades past.
Sugar today is chemically engineered to hijack your brain... lighting up the same pleasure centers as co***ne. It spikes dopamine, floods your system with insulin, and leaves your cells screaming for more.

Your body gets stuck in a loop of craving, crashing, and consuming again, all while your immune system weakens, inflammation builds, and your mitochondria (your body’s energy factories) start to shut down.

Sugar isn’t just empty calories, it’s a biological weapon against your cells.

It’s Not Just the Sugar
The real danger lies in the combination of ultra-processed oils, artificial dyes, preservatives, emulsifiers, and endocrine disruptors that weren’t even in our food 50 years ago.

What used to be fruit juice can now be high-fructose corn syrup and synthetic flavoring, check the labels!

What used to be bread is now glyphosate-soaked grains and fortified fillers.

What used to be a treat is now a chemical cocktail designed for addiction.

This is why our bodies, and our children’s bodies, are breaking down. Their systems were never designed to process this level of chemical chaos.

This isn’t about guilt, it’s about ownership. You can’t change the world’s food system overnight, but you can take back your home, your body, and your health. Because what you do now (the habits you form, the choices you model) ripple into the next generation.

✨ This season, choose awareness over addiction and choose nourishment over poison.
