T4 medication is hugely mis-understood...its not the active hormone...but ....

You can help your thyroid work better, not just by adjusting the dose (not that this makes much sense either), but by supporting how your body activates thyroid hormone (T4) in the first place.

Your thyroid makes two main hormones, T4 (the storage form) and T3 (the active, energy-giving form).
And your body decides how much T4 to convert to T3 depending on how safe, nourished, and rested it feels. YES, it does.

When you’re under-eating, over-exercising, not sleeping, or chronically stressed, your body 'pauses' on energy production to protect you.

But when you rest, re-fuel, and reduce inflammation, you give your body the go ahead to convert T4 to T3.

In this week’s newsletter, We are diving into the thyroid–gut connection, because this relationship is key if you have thyroid issues.

Cancer awareness month...

A major phase III clinical trial has just changed how we think about movement in cancer recovery. 🎗

(https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa2502760 )

Researchers studied nearly 900 people treated for high-risk colon cancer and found something remarkable: those in a structured exercise program for 3 years had better survival and lower recurrence than those who only received general health advice.

Results from the CHALLENGE Trial:
💥 28% lower risk of recurrence or new cancer
💥 Approx 37% of lower risk of death over approx 8 years
💥 Survival approx 90% vs approx 83% with usual care.

These are effects on par with, even stronger than, what some approved cancer drugs deliver.

And the “prescription”?
Regular, moderate-to-vigorous aerobic exercise, supported by simple coaching, like brisk walking, cycling, swimming, enough to boost weekly activity over time.

This trial sends a powerful message that:
💢 Exercise is not just supportive care, it is a therapy.
💢 Movement can be medicine.

If you or someone you love has or has had cancer, book with a nutritional therapist who is also exercise informed, for support. My team offers further advance support with epigentic testing and personalised nutrition and lifestyle programme.

The science is clear, exercise can improve not just how we live after cancer, but how long we live. 💚

IN WOMEN, NEWLY DIAGNOSED WITH BREAST CANCER, LOW MUSCLE MASS IS SIGNIFICANTLY ASSOCIATED WITH REDUCED SURVIVAL.

You are human. So much grief and loss and the ache can feel unbearable.

💚 To lose is to love intensely enough that something/someone mattered
💚 To grieve is to FEEL the ache, that was once safety
💚 To change is to be alive but painful

We don't fear loss because we are weak, we fear loss because we are human. 🙏🏽

Trees remind us that there is wisdom in shedding what cannot stay, there is beauty in standing still when everything feels barren, there is strength and VULNERABILITY in surviving winters we never asked for.

If you are in a 'winter' season right now, slow down, stand firm, let the 'leaves' fall and know that the pain come and go in various forms and intensity. Be kind to yourself, nature expresses every season fully, without apology or urgency. Take your time.

A new spring has never failed to come back.

Sending ❤️

Are you avoiding getting your blood test done?

Sometimes we need a wake up call. I had been cruising, doing reformer pilates, yoga and eating well. Ignoring the shaoe shifting my body was doing. Some visceral fat, some pre diabetic whispers, some what 'avoiding' what I deeply knew.

But my family history showed up in my blood tests in July this year.

Pre-diabetes, fatty liver and not yet tested for bone density, but there is osteoporosis in the family line.

It was either ignore and pretend all is ok, get busy, find excuses, blame the 'world' or genetics.

I want to age with health, I want to be able to play with my future grandchildren, and have my mental faculties in place. I want to continue to live a life of purpose.

So, I chose hard. 💥 And thanks to for the education on lifting heavy. Check out her book 'Unbreakable'. 💪🏽

I lift heavy 3x per week, reformer pilates 2-3x per week and Yoga sprinkled around.

My body shape has changed, the visceral fat has dissolved, those leggings, and top fit loosely now, previously I would feel like I was suffocating in them and had stopped wearing old clothes from my pre menopause era. But pre menopause clothes are back in my winter wardrobe, that money I have saved from buying new clothes, I am investing in the gym 🏋️‍♀️

Yoga is my mindful and spiritual place. Without it, I would be a 'nutter' mentally. 😍

What are your blood test results showing? When was your last blood test?

If only I could tell this to my clients when they first got diagnosed with Celiac’s Disease…

You know what really surprises me?

When someone’s first diagnosed with Celiac disease, no one seems to explain what is actually at stake if they don’t take those early years seriously.

Celiac isn’t just about gluten intolerance. It’s an autoimmune condition rooted in the gut. Your small intestine is lined with these tiny, finger-like projections (villi) that absorb nutrients. When gluten keeps damaging them, the gut wall gets inflamed and porous, which we call 'leaky gut' or increased intestinal permeability.

When the gut stays leaky, particles and toxins slip through into your bloodstream, where they absolutely shouldn’t be. Your immune system sees them as invaders and goes on high alert.

That constant immune activation can go a 'tad crazy'.
Over time, if the gut isn’t healed and gluten isn’t fully removed, Celiac can evolve into a systemic autoimmune condition, such as rheumatoid arthritis, which is alot more debilitating.

So when people ask, 'Why am I struggling with more than just Celiac now, 20 years later?' that’s why. I have seen clients diagnosed in their teens or 20s who come to see me in their 40s, now dealing with multiple autoimmune issues.

It’s not that they didn’t care, it’s that no one explained how crucial it is to:

💥 Cut out gluten completely
💥 Focus on repairing the gut
💥 Rebuild nutrient absorption and support the immune system holistically.

Healing your gut early can help prevent severe chronic illnesses later in life.

If only every newly diagnosed Celiac patient could hear this before the years go by. 💚

It is that time of the year over here...cuddle up warm with a book...

Why not a healthy book? Bit geeky, but why not? Switch off the Netflix, remove the blue light from scrolling, Root and Rise with Celine...

6 pages a day, of our first chosen book, and you will be ready for the book club, but also probably learn a whole bucket load wfrom Prof Bickman 🤓

See you there 💚

Did I say, although I love what I do...the haters still find time to 'hate'.

Be warned if homeopathy is taken seriously, it may just help you. 😍

It is not just another book ❤

THANK YOU to everyone far and wide who have invested in the Rapid Relief Homeopathy Book.

Last year at this time, I spent most of my time in the study...this year, we are reaping the rewards...supporting more people, who ate also supporting us with the New School clinics ..WIN-WIN!

And here is Lizzie's message, I am sharing BECAUSE she understands the vision as well as how it has impacted her family's life.

Dear Khush and all the contributors,

you have no idea, this amazing book that you have published needs a serious price increase. What you have put together is GOLD.

I have so many homeopathy first aid books (some that cost more than your vibrant, lively and energetic book), but this book raises the bar! The quality of the pages, the colour, the layout, the stories. Oh my gosh, the stories!

It is visual, simple, and engaging. Even my boys want me to read the stories to them again and again. AND it is practical. I have laughed, read out some of the stories to my husband too, who is a dentist and has marked the page with the emergency table.

I want to share a story....and I know this is a long message but do read this.

My mother who is a retired nurse, got shingles. It was so bad, that I cried. To see your mother who worked so hard all her life, finding no relief in the medicine she practised, seemed so wrong. I pulled out the book and looked up shingles. THANK GOD, you had shingles in there, I was thinking I may have to do the whole CLAMS exercise, which I have not yet fully mastered, but I am working on it.

That first paragraph you mention in one of the QR code videos is just time-saving. I read just that one paragraph on the arsenic remedy and it worked! It worked! When the anti-virals were not helping.

Managed to work out what she needed, just from reading one paragraph and using your wonderful symptoms/ailments chapter. She had burning pain, so restless and anxious, she was cold even with the burning pain, despairing that she may not recover.

But what blew me away was that she had food poisoning a few weeks before, and in this wonderful book, you have a causes section and for arsenic one of the causes is food poisoning.

I am gifting this book as a Christmas present for my mother, she has read some of the blogs on the School website and said, the blogs make sense, but she did not get taught this stuff when she trained. She is now 'addicted' to reading all the blogs.

I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. Your vision to put the money towards supporting the clinics and helping students learn better is so wonderful. Once my boys are older, I am enrolling. I want to be trained by you and your team.

I cannot thank you enough and for making the book affordable.
💚

PS. I love the dedication, when I first read the dedication, I cried, I know so many people who are swimming against the tide.

🧡💛❤💚

We love the feedback. There are 14 contributors who also spent time and energy putting together this book. Sometimes, we all need a little encouragement.

We receive such heart warming feedback and I realise that not selling the book on Amazon etc has its disadvantages. I want people to be able to use homeopathy in their homes, in their practices. The book is ONLY £36.99 and already has saved people from going down the antibiotics route, the anti-viral route, the anta-acid route, the Caplol route etc.

We even had a death doula message us asking if Ignatia could work so fast.

The money that we raise from the book goes towards the New School of Nutrition Clinics. Once the costs of printing, design, etc. are covered, all money will go towards functional tests for the School clinics, where students learn how to analyse, interpret, and use functional tests through real-life applications. I find that functional tests are used like 'bio-hacking', tools, and are misunderstood, and others think these tests are to sell supplements. This could not be further from the truth.

This vision is bigger than another 'first aid' homeopathy book.

Again, all feedback is welcome, we are compiling a page dedicated to feedback, so do email hello@newschoolofnutrition.com so we can publish the feedback

Dr Robert Virchow, the father of modern pathology...

His quote says it all....

💚 It’s not the mosquito
💚 It’s not the virus
💚 It’s the pool, the terrain, the environment, the health of the host.

Your body and mind are that terrain. Whether a virus, fungus, parasite, mould, or bacteria takes root depends not on its power, but on the condition of your inner ecosystem — your immunity, microbiome, detox systems, mindset, and emotional health.

Take shingles, for instance. The virus (varicella zoster) lies dormant in most of us. But why does it reactivate in one person during a stressful time while another, equally exposed, remains untouched? It’s not luck, it’s terrain.

The virus is not 'choosey', it simply seeks a host whose inner landscape allows it to multiply, thrive, and spread. If your biological soil, your cells, mitochondria, immune defences, and nervous system are resilient and well-nourished, that virus cannot easily take hold.

Ask yourself:
Are you a willing host?

We’ve been conditioned to fear the microbe, to believe the next drug, vaccine, or supplement will save us. But if we ignore the health of the host, we miss a VITAL point. No external 'miracle' alone can compensate for a depleted terrain. In fact, over-reliance on external fixes can make the host even weaker.

Instead, nourish your soil. Feed your body with real food and your mind with nutritious thoughts.

Step outside. Feel the sun. Let your skin make real Vitamin D, the kind no pill can replicate. Move, breathe, and reconnect with the simple rhythms of nature.

And if you are ready to start somewhere tangible, begin with what’s on your plate.

My e-book is a practical guide to real nourishment, no fancy ingredients, no fads, just straightforward, evidence-informed wisdom: Fat Doesn’t Make You Fat

https://www.khushmark.com/product-page/fat-doesn-t-make-you-fat-ebook

💥 Your terrain determines your resilience. 💥

Tend to it daily, because when the soil is strong, the mosquitoes, the viruses, the fungi, and the stressors of life all lose their power.

And if you do 'fall' ill, have the Rapid Relief Homeopathy book at hand as it is a great helper for those acute ailments.

Some days, the overwhelming feelings of doom can be too much.

But I believe in the energy that 'knitted' each and every one of us in our mother's womb, and that energy still resides in all of us, and that energy is powerful and beautiful. 💚❤🧡

Stand for your rights, connect the dots, and use that energy to defeat these evil monsters and make a better world for your children.

I am not an activist, I am not a rebel, I am not religious, I am a human being who believes that all human lives matter. 🙏

You know that awful moment, the one where your child wakes up in the middle of the night, coughing so hard they can’t seem to catch their breath.
Their little eyes go wide, they clutch at you in panic… and your own heart stops too. Motherhood is under rated. 🧡

That moment is terrifying. 😮‍💨

But what if you could 'read' what that cough is saying? 🧠

What if you knew which remedy could calm not just the respiratory system, but the fear itself, easing their breathing and helping both of you rest again? 🫁

That’s exactly what we cover in our Rapid Relief Homeopathy book, for children, adults or in-betweeners. 📚

It is a 21st-century, practical, guide to the most common (and most panic-inducing) everyday ailments:

💫Coughs that sound like barking or choking
💥Fevers that rise fast
🦻Earaches that come out of nowhere
🌡The endless stream of colds, tummy bugs, teething, and sleep battles

This isn’t a dusty materia medica. It’s a parent’s bedside guide, full of real-life examples, simple remedy maps, and stories you’ll actually remember at 2 a.m. And if you are a student in homeopathy, nutrition, herbal medicine, acupuncture, midwifery, nursing, it is for you too. It is all inclusive.

When your child can’t breathe, you need more than knowledge. You need a well regulated nervous system so you can watch and know what to reach for.

Yes it is a Rapid Relief Homeopathy book for parents, as well as students, practitioners of all modalities too.

If you are a parent who has ever sat up in the dark, listening to a cough that just has you on edge, then why not be prepared.

I had no idea studying the microbiome, 25 years ago, would want me to help my babies avoid medications especially antibiotics as much as possible. Their immunity depends on their microbiome. Their respiratory system, depends on their microbiome. Their mental well being depends on their microbiome...so why would I want to hinder the development of their microbiome, especially in their early years?
