🚫 Say NO to Plymouth’s land grab! 🚫

The Labour Government is pressing ahead with local government reorganisation to create more single tier unitary authorities across the country. Plymouth City Council's solution is to swallow up 13 parishes in the South Hams - a completely unnecessary move that ignores the wishes of local residents.

Devon’s District Councils have listened and come up with another way forward that keeps South Hams out of Plymouth which I support.

I have launched a petition to give you a say and stop Plymouth's land grab. With your support, I will take it to Parliament next month and force Labour Ministers to respond.

Acid reflux medications, one of my favourite subjects.
As many of you know, I work with clients to safely come off these medications. However, please be aware, there are some medications and health conditions, such as Barrett oesophagus disease, where these PPi's should be continued.
However, if you don't have to have them, I would seriously consider there safe removal for the long term benefits.

Medication taken by millions of Britons to relieve heartburn and acid reflux can have a harmful impact on digestion in the long term, a top pharmacist has warned.

Today is world Barrett's Day

Understanding Barrett's Oesophagus: Causes and Risk Factors
Barrett's oesophagus occurs when persistent acid reflux damages the lining of the oesophagus, leading to cellular changes. Risk factors include chronic GERD, smoking, obesity, and a family history of the condition. Early detection is crucial for effective management.
Recognising the Symptoms of Barrett's Oesophagus
While Barrett's oesophagus itself may not cause noticeable symptoms, it's often associated with chronic acid reflux. Symptoms to watch for include frequent heartburn, difficulty swallowing, chest pain, and regurgitation of food or sour liquid. If you experience these persistently, consult a healthcare professional.

The Connection Between GERD and Barrett's Oesophagus
Chronic gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a significant risk factor for developing Barrett's oesophagus. Persistent exposure to stomach acid can lead to changes in the oesophageal lining. Managing GERD effectively is key to preventing further complications.

Delighted to share this 5 star review for the nutrition room.

Lorraine is experienced and knowledgeable. She is easy to talk with and explains things well.
She suggested gradual changes to my diet. Over a period of six months I went from barely being able to walk due to joint inflammation, to dancing! Nutrition is truly fundamental to our health - it should be our first consideration.

I absolutely agree with ladies thoughts.
The body is a wonderful and has a great ability to heal.
If you would like to see other reviews you can read them on the nutrition room Google page.
Clients don't always leave reviews for their experience of nutritional therapy as this is there private information, so it feels extra special when they do
