Next up is Liane, who will be discussing the CNM Training Concept (way more interesting than it sounds!)

And to finish on a high, Nutritionist Janine Thornton will be giving a talking about 'The Autoimmune Fix' and shining a light on all things autoimmune.

All of this for the princely some of £5!

NOW THIS IS A SELECTION BOX I CAN GET BEHIND!

If you've not heard of Wild Life Botanicals yet, you are missing out because this stuff is the REAL DEAL!

So what exactly is it?

is essentially a functional fizz PLUS a mood boosting elixir, containing five botanicals and eight vitamins and minerals, made with love, in Cornwall, to save us all from yet ANOTHER lime and soda or J2 bloody O!

It's real wine, just spun to dealcoholise, so you're left with gorgeous strawberries and cream notes for the blush and dry biscuity notes for the n**e.

At 0.5%ABV (the same as a ripe banana or sourdough starter) you'd need to drink 20 glasses to hit the same alcohol content as ONE glass of regular Prosecco.

And that, dear followers is why it's hashtag is

All of the pros, none of the cons. So if you're looking to cut back, drive more and drink less or cut out booze completely this January and beyond, Wild Life Botanicals is your new BFF.

And it just got better with my discount code RACHELBOON15 for 15% off the ENTIRE Wildlife Botancials range, which you can shop right here and start enjoying your for less:

Much love,

If you go and see a herbalist, by my friend and esteemed colleague Lucy Jones of Myrobalan Clinic Sooooo true!

When people are surprised that I've given them extra time in a particularly difficult or emotional session at no charge, I tell them I'm not here to make 'millions', if I wanted to do that, I'd have gone into big pharma.

Choosing to be a herbalist is vocational, a lifestyle, a heart-lead passion project that I feel privileged to practice every single day!

If you're interested in training too, do come along and say 'hi' at the Brighton College of Naturopathic Medicine Open Day from 12-4pm on Sunday 24th January.

I'll be spilling the beans on how I ended up at the CNM and talking about how to keep our hormones healthy-that is, working for us, not against us!

A shout out to all of those who dedicate themselves to the practice of herbal medicine.

Being a medical herbalist isn’t a walk in the park (or a frolic through a meadow full of flowers - although on occasion we do get to do that).

When I quit my ‘good job’ as a farm business consultant over 20 years ago, I was told to get ‘a proper job’ and not ‘waste my training and skill’ on something like herbal medicine. Luckily I didn’t listen. I knew that it was my non negotiable path.

If you go and see a medical herbalist, you’re meeting someone who has prioritised following a path which feels right for them over a path which could probably bring them more generous ‘material’ benefits. You’re accessing years of training, investment and experience born of their dedication and sacrifice.

You’ll learn about how to be well rather than just which herbs to take to reduce your symptoms. Unlike other small businesses owners, herbal practitioners are delighted each time a ‘customer’ no longer needs them. That’s a job well done.

If you’re a herbalist and these musings resonate with you - do drop a comment below!

GYNAE UPDATE

TW-Discussing my own personal gynae investigations

From suffering quite badly, to symptom-free, all within a 5-6 week window.

It has been a roller coaster I don't wish to ride again anytime soon, thank you very much!

After my cyst-related health worries, falling over running in my flared jeans and getting a sodding ULEZ fine in Oxford (!) I was quite happy to see the back of December to be honest!

Still taking things gently and giving my nervous system all the time she needs to recover this winter.

Thank you sauna, thank you nature, thank you winter sunshine and bluest of skies. OMG and thank you FRIENDS!!! Where would I be without you?!

And last but deffo not least the total freakin' legend who I get to call my HUSBAND these days🥰

Lucky Lucky Lucky 💚💚💚

Sending love to you and yours, and TRUST YOUR GUT ladies and whatever you're worried about, please do get checked out!

Hormonally yours,

Keen to know what foods are more of a friend or a foe as far as hormones are concerned? Talking of hormones, what is even going ON in there?!

Come and join me at Brighton College of Naturopathic Medicine Open day on 24th January at 12pm where I'l be shining a light on all of this and more!

I'm a class of '05 CNM Herbal Medicine & Naturopathy graduate myself and have experienced both training's personally so you're welcome to pick my brains about the courses or any aspect of my varied and fun career to date!

First things first, make sure you sign up for the open day via the following link and request a prospectus today!

STILL WINTERING?

Yep, me too. Definitely not feeling the surge of new year 2026 energy yet.

Quietly going about my business, slowly, intuitively, and spending as much time in nature, and daylight, as possible.

Nervous system is loving it. No rush over here.

Sending love if you're in deep in midwinter too.

PS-This was my car in Worthing this morning!

MY MIND IS BLOWN!!

TW: Discussing personal gynae stuff!

I felt SO validated after going to in Shoreham this morning (where I booked and paid for my scan in full) that there actually WAS something where it shouldn't have been and that my body knew the location and size of it down to the millimetre!!

A sudden loss of appetite, abdominal pain, bloating and nausea ++ is never to be ignored ladies and hopefully my outcome will be as benign as I now suspect it is. My CA125 has (finally!) come back at 9 so within the healthy range.

I like to keep things pozzy vibes on here but let's just say I will be moving GP surgeries without further ado.

The utter lack of sympathy I've received from mine when clearly in distress (think a grown woman crying in front of a queue of people in the reception area twice in six days) and not ONE person has apologised for the comedy of errors that led to me getting my own private scan done just so they'd take me seriously. They just look or speak to me like they are dead behind the eyes.

I can honestly say, in 20 years in private practice, I have never treated any of my patients the way I have been treated this week. And I am privileged enough to have the education, means and confidence to procure a private scan.

It breaks my heart to think of someone in a less fortunate position who would still be waiting for their CA125 to come back (it said on my NHS app it would be back in a month-I knew this couldn't be right so I went in to query it after 3 days-cry number 1-when they wouldn't give me my results despite them being in!) and hoping that they had been referred via the 2 week wait (they wouldn't have been) so they'd just be waiting...and waiting...and waiting...It makes me SO angry!

Ah well, not so pozzy vibes from me after all🤣 Over and out peeps I got yoga to goto 🧘‍♀️💚🧘‍♀️

Thanks to everyone who has been so kind to me over the last few weeks and all my patients that let me move appointments around so graciously.

You are all AWESOME!

Love ya!

CLINIC OPENING HOURS + SPECIAL OFFER!

Hallo! I have a handful of face to face appointments remaining in my Worthing clinic this December (virtual availability slightly better) so if you'd like to be seen before 2026 (when my prices will go up) do book in ASAP!

It is NEVER too early to start working with a women's health specialist to help you get a handle on your hormones!

Our ovarian (s*x) hormones can feel like herding drunk children at times so please don't waste another hour doom scrolling for 'hormone hints and tips' or subscribing to yet another 'miracle/all in one powder' that promises the world but delivers an empty bank account.

You are worth SOOOO much more than that!

Google/instagram/TikTok/whatever influencer is killing it with the algorithm this week (!) has never had the privilege of meeting you!

They've no idea if you're on HRT, hormonal birth control or the copper coil or even if you're pre/peri or post-menopausal! And it kind of matters a LOT!

They've certainly never chatted with you for over an hour and looked through all your latest blood work/stool tests (and more!) and run every single recommendation they make, through the unique lens of the women sitting in front of them.

Influencers have no idea about your close family history, or taken the time to learn about your current diet and lifestyle (or maybe what you've done in the past that really didn't serve you).

Can you see how only the very lucky few will strike gold with a 'miracle off the shelf hormone-balancing powder' or by introducing HRT (MHT) and making zero other changes?

Our diet and lifestyle are absolutely foundational and herbalists, naturopaths and nutritionists are the lifestyle OGs babbbyyy!!!

On that note, I'm off to catch sunset down the beach, but I'll leave you with my special lucky Black Friday give back code *BLACKFRIDAY28* which will give you a whopping £28 off ANY initial or follow up consultation booked before Monday 1st December (the consultation can be for any time, it just needs booking before 1/12)

Visit my bio to book yourself in-I'd love to see you enter 2026 in a better place hormonally.

With love and phytooestrogens,
Rach x

Word up plant-lovers, a new study shows that following a greener Mediterranean diet may actually help keep your brain younger! Green tea and leafy greens for the win! R x (small caveat-I would suggest naturally decaffienated green tea for my menpausal community as caffeine tends to be more of a foe than a friend at during this life phase) X

The low-meat eating plan focuses on whole grains, nuts, and polyphenol-rich foods.
