A quick look behind the scenes.🎬

You may notice a 5-10% increase across most our services, mainly due to increased laboratory testing fees and rising operational costs - not a change in the level of care we provide.

Our commitment remains the same: responsible, ethical, clinically led decisions.

Preventative health isn’t about doing more - it’s about noticing what’s missing. 🧐

The more I work clinically, the clearer this becomes:
most people don’t end up unwell suddenly.👩🏻‍⚕️

It’s usually years of quiet signals being overridden.

Fatigue that’s normalised.
Sleep that’s sacrificed.
Hormonal shifts explained away.
Digestive symptoms dismissed.

You can be productive, active, high-functioning - and still be under-recovered.

Preventative work lives in the in-between:
✔️ how your nervous system unwinds
✔️ how consistently your body gets to recover
✔️ whether your hormones and metabolism are being supported, not pushed
✔️ whether your gut is absorbing, regulating, and communicating properly

This isn’t about perfection or optimisation.
It’s about awareness - before the body has to escalate its signals.

This is where my work sits.
Long before crisis care is needed.

If this resonates, you’re welcome to DM me. These patterns are worth exploring properly.

Not all honey is food - some of it is fraud. 🍯🐝

A lot of supermarket honey isn’t what it claims to be.
“Packed in the UK” often means imported honey blends, commonly from China (not that I have anything against China but source, quality, and traceability unknown, and cost is a fraction to that of real honey), diluted with sugar syrups. That’s not medicinal - it’s just sugar.

The good ones here:
✔️ Wild honey (the one in the video) from our family farm in Pakistan - raw, antimicrobial, earthy with lemon/lemongrass notes
✔️ The London Honey Co. - smells and tastes slightly like maple syrup, with a stronger antimicrobial profile (always assess taste & smell)
✔️ Black Bee - small-batch, higher-integrity sourcing, slightly floral with antimicrobial properties

✔️ True raw honey is closer to £15+ per kilo when properly sourced
✔️ The shop-bought jars shown (excluding the family farm honey) sit around £6–£8 - higher than supermarket honey, but far more honest

Supermarkets attract consumers with cheaply sourced honey, often from China or EU/non-EU blends, further manipulated with sugar syrups and re-packed under brand labels.
Cheap honey isn’t just inexpensive - it’s invaluable in the wrong way, offering sugar where there should be health benefit.

The same applies to Manuka. True medicinal Manuka only comes from New Zealand, yet far more is sold globally than produced - a major red flag 🚩

If you’re buying honey for health, check the label, source, taste, and smell.
I’d rather eat less - and eat properly.👩🏻‍⚕️

A small weekend pause - a moment to breathe before the new cycle begins. 💫

As a reminder, the last week of every month is dedicated to behind-the-scenes work at the practice: planning, refining, research, and everything that keeps the clinic moving.

Consultations resume next week, refreshed and focused - with new updates, new developments, and exciting plans as we head into the new year.

Every practitioner starts somewhere - start strong. 💪

I often get asked what books to start with if you’re beginning your journey in medicine, biomedicine, nutrition, or herbal/functional medicine.

No matter which route you take, everything comes back to biomedicine - your anatomy, physiology, and understanding of pathology.

My top two foundations:
• Ross & Wilson Anatomy and Physiology
• Gould’s Pathophysiology for Health Professionals

Updated editions are best. Start here, pair them with your lectures, and you’ll build a strong clinical base. 📚🌿👩🏻‍⚕️

Questions I get asked the most - so let’s set the record straight. ✨❔

These are questions I’m asked often - not just about my work, but about who I am.

On a personal, business, and individual level - including my role as a Functional Medicine Practitioner and Medical Herbalist - one principle stays the same: responsibility.

I believe in facts, not filters.
Results, not repetition.
Functional Medicine is about getting to the root cause, not masking symptoms.
Herbal Medicine is about applying clinical knowledge with integrity.

In both life and practice, I stand for accountability, transparency, and genuine care - no shortcuts, no pretence.

That’s By Firdous® Health - where purpose meets precision.👩🏻‍⚕️✨

May humanity win, always. 🕊️🇵🇸

Busy day at my desk… yet my heart pauses at the news of a ceasefire in Gaza.

I pray it marks a new dawn of hope 🌿
May both Muslim and non-Muslim nations stand together for its healing, growth, and peace.

I’m also deeply sorry for the loss and pain within our Jewish community. Like every community, there are both good and bad, but grief and humanity are universal.

The community near the synagogue - along Leicester Road and the surrounding area - is one I know well and pass often on my visits to Manchester, so this hits close to home.

I truly hope this ceasefire brings peace, healing, and dignity for everyone. 🤍

Let’s Clear Up the Calcium + Iron Confusion👩🏻‍⚕️

In an earlier post, I mentioned that calcium interferes with iron absorption - and I’ve had a few questions come in, especially about supplements that contain a small amount of calcium alongside iron. Let’s break this down a bit further.

Yes, it’s true that calcium and iron compete for absorption in the gut. But this effect is dose-dependent. Most studies suggest that it takes 300mg or more of calcium at the same time as iron to significantly interfere.

So what about supplements that include a tiny amount of calcium - like calcium citrate at 10–20mg per capsule?

Here’s the deal:
→ Small amounts like this are added to help stabilise the formula and balance pH - not to act as a nutrient.
→ These amounts are far too low to block iron absorption and are considered safe to take with iron.

For context:
• A 250ml cup of milk contains roughly 300mg of calcium.
• A standard calcium supplement contains around 500mg or more.
• Your iron supplement with 13mg of calcium citrate? Nowhere near interfering.

And what about tea?
Another good question - tea contains tannins, which can bind to iron and reduce its absorption. If you add milk to your tea, you’re also introducing a little calcium. But again, this depends on:
• How much milk you’re using
• How soon after iron you’re having it
• Whether you’re in a phase of active deficiency or maintenance

If you’re severely iron deficient, even small things like tea with a dash of milk soon after your iron dose could have a minor effect. And if you’re trying to correct deficiency fast, it’s best to avoid all potential blockers.

But if you’re already in a rebuilding or maintenance phase, the odd cup of tea with a splash of milk an hour after your iron? Probably fine.

Bottom line:
Sometimes it’s not that the iron supplement isn’t working - it’s what’s happening around it that’s affecting how well it absorbs.

📍Book a 1:1 consult if you want clarity on what your body actually needs.
