Some of you know, because you have lived it, or are living it...
'your blood tests are all 'within normal range'. Yet you sure don't feel 'normal'.

Let's face it, normal now is having metabolic syndrome, walking around either with a sluggish thyroid, gunky bile, overburdened liver that is trying to 'retire' and then we have the insulin surges, that are no longer surges, after a while, the pancreas, the organ that makes insulin, starts to 'tire'...and the lymphatic system is waiting for you to move your body and do some drainage work.
Too many complex conditions, too many biochemical processes that have traffic jams, yet the blood tests are all 'within normal range'.

We have a series of functional tests that we INTEGRATE into a New School Diploma course, and I personally believe the best way to understand and use them is to blend them INTO the curriculum.

My team of practitioners also offer these tests.

NOTE: 💥 not everyone needs to jump on the testing bandwagon, first lay the foundation, do the fundamentals, clean 'the house', work on the nervous system, move your body, sweat some, get out of breath (in a healthy way) 😹 ideally by building a little lactic acid and go to sleep on time.

Drum roll....... for those requesting and those who are looking to join us at the New School of Nutritional Medicine this year, here is a post on the functional tests we cover... and our open days are now live on the website. 💚 Hope to see some of you in person.

On hormones, synthetic, bio-identical, contraceptive pills, patches, gels, injections...this is for you.

I was raised in a culture where women 'do not ask questions' do as they are instructed, and look beautiful for their future husband. 🤩 Fortunately, I went the other way. I asked questions...and I still ask questions...

Now I get asked questions, like...

💥 Should I take HRT?
💥 Should I take the Birth Control Pill?
💥 Should I go natural?
💥 Should I.....?

My answer: Your body, your choice ❤

Whatever you choose, make it an informed choice...because the lack of information or mis-information may have you ‘chasing your tail’.

Most women are assessed on symptoms alone and/or blood tests that can vary from morning to evening, and s*x hormones don’t just act, they have to exit safely.

HRT is often prescribed as if:
💥 the liver is working perfectly
💥 the bile is smooth and flowing well
💥 the gut is in good ‘nick’
💥 hormones exit smoothly

For many women… this is not the case.

Was your liver function explored?
Not just ‘normal’ bloods but:
💥 nutrient status
💥 methylation support
💥 stress load
Your liver is the first stop for oestrogen ‘clearance’.

And no this post is not about alcohol, but I have to just mention it, because it is a ‘thing’. 😁

Was genetic capacity considered?
Genes like COMT influence how you:
💥 break down oestrogen
💥 clear stress hormones
💥 tolerate stimulation

I will repeat the last one...
💥tolerate stimulation💥
If you have ADD, ADHD, ASD...have you noticed the HRT or birth control pill can make you feel like you are ‘going out of your mind’?

If you have a daughter who went on the pill and then started experiencing PMDD, or severe PMS symptoms...this is for you and her...

Was bile flow ever discussed?
Did you know that bile
💥 ‘ferries’ hormones out of the liver
💥 relies on the liver and gallbladder
💥 depends on nutrients
No bile or ‘gunky’ bile can get hormones ‘stuck in traffic’.

Was your gut microbiome assessed?
The estrobolome decides:
💥 reabsorb oestrogen?
or
💥 send it to the toilet?
Your gut health changes your hormone destiny.

Are you actually going ‘on the daily’?
Irregular bowel movement equates to
no reliable hormone exit.

Women can experience:
💥 bloating on hormones
💥 breast tenderness
💥 headaches
💥 anxiety
💥 rage
💥 insomnia
💥 acne
💥 ‘hormones are not suiting me’

Check the exit routes, whether you are middle-aged, old-aged, young-aged....they can save you from a whole host of ‘jiggery pokery’

This is not an anti-hormone message....it is a message to help women make more informed decisions...

And even if you are paying for a private doctor, they are most likely not informed of this either, and yet they prescribe hormones without knowing if your exit routes are ‘jammed’ or ‘flowing’.

Women are not supposed to be laboratory ‘rats’...but here we are again ..but 'further' along the 'path' 🤨

💥 Know anyone on hormones? Know anyone deciding on which contraception?
💥 Know a woman without a gall bladder on HORMONES?
💥 Know a woman whose HRT dose is just being increased and increased to ‘get rid of symptoms’?
💥 Know someone's daughter on the birth control and feeling out of sorts (putting it mildly)?

Tag them, share this...let them know

In the future, this information will be vital because the rise in the use of hormones (bio-identical or not) without information like the above will create symptoms and conditions that we do not see in the early stages.

And yes, my team offer these tests and more. They all offer a free 15 minute call. The New School of Nutritional Medicine teaching team and I raise 21st-century practitioners to do this too, whilst qualifying as nutritional therapists and psychological coaches.

Ask questions, don't settle for 'it is the way we do it, no one else has been harmed or stop overthinking it'...

We know the sad state of our medical system but they could simply employ nutritional therapists to 'un-sadden' the state, bring in some practitioners who understand not just blood tests but the patient 😍. Too much to ask?

But what 'extracts the urine', is how some medical professionals lack compassion, let alone understand the blood test results IN CONTEXT. 🤔

Firstly, when getting blood test results, ask WHO IS THIS PERSON, whose blood has been analysed. After all that blood test should tell a STORY. That person is not a bunch of numbers.

What were they doing the day before, the morning of the blood draw?

But look at the TG:HDL ratio? Its pretty cool 😎

So, are Statins the only option? What about asking him, whats going on in his life. Cholesterol is also the precursor for our stress hormone, cortisol. Stress much lately? Seen the news lately?

Look beyond the tests.

My team analyse tests with context.

We teach our students to understand the individual first. Be present with them, LISTEN ACTIVELY, to them. Usually, their story explains the test results.

If you have blood tests done and been told all if within range, or even ignored not even notified all readings are within normal range, check in with one of my team, if you want someone to review them.

The issues wiwth taking too much vitamin D, have been in the news of late.

This vitamin, actually a hormone, is misunderstood.

When will we start to address the nutritional lack. Vitamin D is fat-soluble; it 'piles' up in the body, unlike the water-soluble vitamins.

January 2026 marks the rollout of the MMRV vaccine in the UK (see one of the previous posts) and some find this a relief, yet there is a rise in febrile seizures when giving the 4 together 🫩

There is mention of shingles and a very real concern about shingles. Shingles, is caused by the same virus that causes chicken pox and shingles can be intensely painful, debilitating, and for some people the post-herpetic neuralgia can linger for months, which can have some people wanting to rip off their skin.

So the question is not about fear or denial but about being prepared, being informed and vitality! If your immune system is compromised, why is it compromised, what can you do about that? Why is it some people, do not get shingles and others do? If you do want to genuinely learn how to support your immune system (no boosting), join the wait list https://www.newschoolofnutrition.com/incredible-immune-system-101/

For those who want supportive tools at home, whether alongside conventional options or as part of a more integrative approach, there are remedies worth knowing about in advance, to get your creating your home naturopathic medicinal cabinet.

CELL SALTS have been included here intentionally. When Schüssler identified the tissue salts, nutritional biochemistry as we understand it today did not yet exist. We now know that minerals such as zinc and selenium are fundamental to immune resilience.

👌ZINC (see image for the cell salt form) is essential for immune cell replication, antiviral defence, and wound healing.
Selenium plays a critical regulatory role through its involvement in antioxidant enzymes, most notably GLUTATHIONE PEROXIDASE. This enzyme helps control oxidative stress during immune activation. Some people also carry genetic SNPs that affect how efficiently this enzyme functions.

The immune system uses controlled oxidative processes to neutralise pathogens (aka varicella-zoster virus in this case). The problem arises when that response becomes excessive, driving nerve inflammation, tissue damage, and prolonged pain. If you have has shingles or know anyone who has, you will know this pain. 🙏

👌SELENIUM (see image for cell salt form) helps keep that balance intact: enough oxidative force to 'deal with the threat', without tipping the system into unnecessary and prolonged inflammation.

Being prepared means understanding both sides of the immune response, defence and regulation and supporting both intelligently.

I have successfully used some of the remedies below to treat Shingles...and they actually worked faster than the antivirals and helped with the pain too. Remember, you can use these remedies alongside the anti-virals too, IF YOU SO CHOOSE.

In the midst of creating the 'Incredible Immune System 101' course and it will NOT be dumbed down. No apologies, it does not matter whether you have 'baby brain', 'menopausal brain', overwhelmed brain, 😵‍💫 too much prosecco brain, 🍷 you can do it at your own pace...the goal is empower those interested in being informed and getting healthy. We don’t need to be dumbed down.

Frankly, we already live in a world that dumbs our intelligence, following protocols without understanding the 'whys and hows'.

Let’s be honest, when we are desperate, we jump into all sorts of 'quick fixes'...

What if instead of chasing 'quick fixes' or protocols, we learned how the immune system actually works? How it communicates. How it matures, how it can get confused and how you can prevent these and/or support your immune system.

Did you know the immune system is the first system to age? 🧠

Did you know your immune system renews every 4 months? 🤔

This course will not only teach you this and more, but it will also challenge you to make changes.

This course is not, do this and that, and this will happen; this course will teach you how your immune system works as a 'collective'. It will teach you how to nourish the immune system via supporting other systems.

It does not mean your symptoms will disappear overnight. It does not mean this is the answer to all your woes...

But if you implement the education and understand the 'whys', you will see change, and you may just see why you have a supplement graveyard. 🤔

If you are ready, join the waiting list. J

Remember, January is a time of slowing down, reflecting and sweeping the cobwebs.

Come February, be ready to nourish your immune system and your mind.

Grappling with immune conditions? Start simple, no 'gut' protocol, no bucket full of supplements, just food.

This was a quick meal. 😇
💥 No styling
💥 No special prep
💥 No 'gut protocol'
💥 No probiotic supplements

Simply food that fits into real life.

Supporting your gut does NOT require perfection, expensive ingredients, or hours in the kitchen. It requires meals that you can repeat, even on busy days. 🍲

Your microbiome doesn’t care how your food looks. But it cares about being fed well. 😋

💢 Simple meals count.
💢 Quick lunches count.
AND
💢 Consistency counts MORE than aesthetics.

This is what sustainable gut health actually looks like.

Your meals don’t need to look pretty to be powerful.

Below is my simple meal: potato salad, some green beans, salmon and two tablespoons of fermented white cabbage.

This is not a stock photo. It is a real life edition.

I have something called resistant starch on this plate...fancy term for... Hot potatoes that are cooled which turns some of the potato starch into resistant starch...

Yes just the cooking, then cooling. You can do this with rice too! This resistant starch....

It goes down the gullet, past the absorption site, straight to where the party is at ...aka....The ravers that make up the microbiome!

Resistant starch isn’t really there to feed you... it’s there to feed them. And boy oh boy!...when it feeds them...

They:
• produce short-chain fatty acids
• support the gut lining
• help REGULATE IMMUNITY
• influence blood sugar balance
• talk to your nervous system

Yes... your auto-immune condition can be linked to your microbiome health.

Some days meals are elaborate, other days they are quick. Both can still be nourishing and healing.

Another one added to the mix in the UK

My question is why? 🧐
Apparently...

It is to reduce school absences and save £15 million annually.
Parents won’t have to take time off work, this is according to our Health Minister.

How convenient for who? 🤔

At what point in NATURE is a child exposed to measles, mumps, rubella and chickenpox all at once, on the same day, within minutes of each other?

This isn’t anti-vaccine, it is about INFORMED consent.
A child’s immune system is designed to be educated over time, through spaced exposures, mucous membrane immune training, not everything at once. 🙏

What if that child has certain genetic SNPs that don’t take this ‘burden’ well?

Genetic SNPs are small variations that create ‘kinks’ in proteins, and in this case, it can be in proteins responsible for detoxification, methylation, inflammation control, and oxidative stress...etc

We know that some children don’t process immune load in the same way due to SNPs. This is called Biochemical Individuality. ❤

These SNPs are not defects, or diseases, but they can indicate a
reduced ‘buffering’ capacity, to deal with this exposure to FOUR ‘pathogens’.

The results of a reduced ‘buffering capacity’ that is exposed to a plethora of pathogens can look like:
💥 NERVOUS SYSTEM overload, such as head banging, high-pitched shrieking, agitation, and sleep disruption, mental-emotional regression
💥 GUT SYMPTOMS, such as loose stools, bloating, and feeding aversions
💥 SKIN RASHES, such as eczema, rashes, hives

Does a few days off work to look after your child sound like the safer option?

I believe every child would benefit from early epigenetic insight, NOT to label or predict illness, but to inform choices and, hence, support health more proactively, rather than ‘dealing’ with chronic issues that can develop.

These chronic health issues cost more than taking a few days off school and cost a lot more than £15 million annually. $$$$$$

Tag a friend who will benefit from this information. 💚

You can book for epigenetic testing with one of my team.

And if you or your child get an acute illness (one that has a short life span) such as chicken pox, shingles, measles, flu, fevers, then you may just want to invest in our wonderful Rapid Relief Homeopathy book that comes with videos! 🤓 Link below.
