Born from a deep love and respect for the power of nature, along with a realisation about the negative impact on our bodies from the toxic load we’re continually exposed to in our everyday lives, especially from most mainstream cosmetics, Catherine Farrant founded Fierce Nature.

A collection of natural skincare products, all handmade in the UK using only naturally sourced ingredients, with organic tallow as the foundation.

Tallow - a rendered, solid fat derived from grass-fed, organic cattle - is a nutrient-dense, anti-inflammatory, natural substance that has been used for centuries as an emollient, with its bioavailability helping to feed skin, leaving it smoother, richer, and well nourished.

Containing high volumes of vitamins A, D, E, and K, applying Tallow to your skin - your body’s largest organ - can help:

🌱Prevent breakouts

🌱Heal dry skin

🌱Boost your immune system

🌱Promote natural healing

🌱Aid skin protection

🌱Promote cell repair

🌱Reduce puffiness and swelling

🌱Boost natural skin oils

🌱Support collagen production

🌱Improve skin texture

🌱Reduce fine lines

And it’s also gentle enough for skin conditions, such as eczema.

With a range of nourishing, contouring, and magnesium balms, Fierce Nature supports you in lowering your toxic load by offering you a return to truly natural skincare.

We’re delighted to introduce you to our new team member, Luca!

Raised holistically by her homeopathic mother, who is also a Bowen technique practitioner, Luca became aware from an early age that the body always intrinsically knows how to heal and come back into balance - physically, mentally, and emotionally.

As such, she trained and qualified as a Health Coach and Emotional Freedom Technique practitioner, with the aim to support the body in doing so.

She is especially passionate about the female hormonal cycle and routinely offers guidance to women in understanding their bodies, so that they can live in harmony with their natural rhythms.

By taking a fully holistic approach, she helps address not only the apparent physical issue, but also the emotional and energetic root cause behind it, helping people to heal from the inside out.

It is this love of uncovering what the body is really trying to express on a deeper level, that allows her to understand more fully what the body needs on a physical level.

She says that joining the team here at Especially Health has given her an opportunity to deepen her knowledge and engage with a like-minded community, all whilst continuing to offer tailored advice to those in need.

If you’d like some guidance or to just say hi, Luca can be found in-store on Tuesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays.

Alternatively, she runs a private practice, the details of which can be found on her website: www.lucawellbeing.co.uk

If you’ve been experiencing hair loss or fatigue, it may be a sign you have low ferritin levels.

Ferritin is a protein that stores iron in the body, acting as a reserve that releases iron when needed for essential functions, such as making red blood cells to carry oxygen and supporting the health of your muscles and organs.

When depleted, your body will take iron from non-essential places, such as your hair and nails, in order to keep you alive. But if your levels remain low for some time, this can lead to further issues such as anemia.

In order to support your ferritin levels:

🥩Include lots of bioavailable iron rich foods in your diet, whether in the form of heme iron (animal based) or non-heme (plant based)

🍊Pair what you consume with vitamin C rich foods to maximise absorption

🍫Avoid dairy, soy, and tannin containing substances (tea, coffee, wine, and chocolate) for at least 30 minutes after consuming an iron rich meal, as these block absorbance

💊Consider taking an iron supplement

Wondering whether to get your ferritin levels checked? 🤔

Contact your GP or practitioner if you’re experiencing any of the following:

😴Fatigue & Weakness: Feeling tired, lacking energy, and general weakness.

👨Pale Skin: A noticeable paleness or yellowish complexion

😮‍💨Shortness of Breath: Especially with activity.

🫀Heart Palpitations: A rapid or noticeable heartbeat.

🥶Cold Extremities: Cold hands and feet.

🧑🏼‍🦲Issues with Hair & Nails: Brittle nails or hair loss/dryness.

👅Mouth Issues: A sore, smooth, or cracked tongue, mouth ulcers.

🦵🏽Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS): An urge to move your legs, especially when resting.

🥱Poor Sleep & Concentration: Difficulty focusing or sleeping well.

As you pack away the remnants of the holiday season and slowly enter into the new calendar year - after what might have been an indulgent end to the one before - why not forgo the usual New Year’s resolutions and instead opt in for a January refresh and reset!

In just three simple steps, you can easily help recalibrate your body from the inside out, setting up a solid foundation of health for the upcoming months ahead!

Step One - CLEANSE

During the festive season it can be easy to over-indulge in sugary treats and alcoholic beverages, often resulting in yeast and bacterial overgrowth.

If you’ve been experiencing bloating, constipation, thrush, or fungal nail infections it might be time for an internal clear out!

Start by cutting out alcohol, ultra-processed foods, refined sugars and non-complex carbohydrates for at least a week (ideally four) to help reduce inflammation and starve off certain harmful strains of bacteria in the gut.

Then add in two capsules a day of BioCare’s MicroClear - packed with natural, herbal anti-virals and anti-bacterials, such as Wormwood, Clove, and Oregano - to ensure that any parasites (which feed off sugar!), yeast overgrowth, or bacteria is killed off completely!

Step Two - RESET

Once your gut is free of any pathogens, help bring it back into balance with a good quality probiotic.

Adding one shelf-stable capsule of Cura Sporebiotic to your morning routine will not only support the re-introduction of friendly bacteria, but also repair any damage done to your gut’s intestinal lining.

Step Three - NOURISH

Once your microbiome is happy, continue to nourish and support your digestive system throughout the rest of the month with the help of NaturesPlus Liver Support capsules, accompanied by a big, warming cup of Nutra Cleanse tea.

Both are packed with a combination of vitamins, minerals, herbs, and amino acids, all of which will facilitate digestion, maintain blood sugar balance, support detoxification, and contribute to normal elimination functions.

Helping you feel refreshed, energised and at ease as you move through 2026!

If you’ve been struggling with unexplained bouts of abdominal pain, constipation, diarrhea, bloating, and fatigue, then you may be experiencing the symptoms of IBS (irritable bowel syndrome).

As IBS and the fight-or-flight response are deeply linked through the gut-brain axis, when you become stressed or anxious, your body shuts down digestion in order to prioritize its response to a perceived threat.

In the event of an actual, physical threat, this can save your life! However, when your stress is triggered due to something emotional, as the body can’t differentiate between a perceived threat and an actual one, its response is the same.

Over time, if this becomes a regular occurrence, it can lead to gut sensitivity, dysbiosis, continual IBS flare-ups, and eventually something called leaky gut.

Otherwise known as intestinal permeability, this is when the lining of your gut weakens, allowing undigested food particles, toxins, and microbes to leak into the bloodstream, causing inflammation, food sensitivities, fatigue, nutrient deficiencies, and autoimmune issues.

Thus, helping support your nervous system by reducing stress and anxiety can keep IBS at bay. Things such as cranio sacral therapy, yoga, and meditation can help the body relax, whilst supplements and herbs such as magnesium bisglycinate, lemon balm, l-theonine, and ashwagandha, all help with stress response and anxiety.

It’s equally important however to treat the gut once it’s been affected, so getting tested with a bioresonance practitioner or with a naturopath can be helpful, so as to know which supplement or dietary change is required.

As the holiday season fast approaches, we know a lot of you will be starting to do your festive shopping.

We also know how convenient online shopping and Black Friday Sales are, but we’d like to ask for your support over the coming period.

Sadly, over the course of the past few years we’ve seen so many of our fellow small and independent businesses disappear from the high street, leaving us with more big, well-known chains, and less and less sense of community.

Please know that every time you choose to shop with a small, local, or independent business or maker, you not only help keep their dreams alive but you also help to maintain the connection and personal touch that can only come with knowing who you’re buying from.

In light of this, we’d like to connect with and support all and any of our fellow small and independent businesses by sharing their accounts, so please mention yourself or anyone you know and love in the comments below and we’ll tag the account in this post!

From all of us at Especially Health, thank you! ❤️
