This quote spoke to me today and was very timely. I am a Health Coach with a functional medicine approach, and I am studying with the SIBO DOCTOR to be an even better gut specialist for my clients. The SIBO Doctor is Dr. Nirala Jacobi & I have learnt so much from her (super grateful for that!). Check out her course here: https://www.thesibodoctor.com/ Dr Jacobi has a course for both practitioners & patients. When I was suffering with small intestinal overgrowth (SIBO) in 2020 I wish I had found her sooner!

If you are suffering with gas, bloating, diarrhea, constipation or both I have loads of top tips I can share to address these issues. I offer a FREE, 20 minutes, discovery health call to 3 potential new clients per week. PM me to book yours now.

Many of my weight loss clients are using a combination of the Keto diet with Intermittent Fasting. I only recommend Keto for a maximum of 6 weeks as it cuts out too many prebiotic fibres which are needed for a balanced gut microbiome. Intermittent fasting can work without the need to eat a Keto dieClear Allt too! However, that said here is a nice recipe for Keto fans!

Who likes a good life hack or diet hack? One of my weight maintenance hacks is to drink a glass of water 30 minutes before a meal, it fills you up a little so you do not overeat, plus drinking water during your meals dilutes your stomach acid and enzymes so it is a good practice for better digestion!

It took a lot of willpower for me to stop eating regular bread containing gluten, yet after 3 months of consistently applying a new behaviour, it becomes our new habit. The next step was to go gluten free and that was a gradual transition and took finding great recipes for tasty treats so that I did not feel like I was missing out.

Going gluten free is the single most important dietary change you can make if you have thyroid disease.

If you want support to go gluten free or with any other aspect of your diet then reach out and book a FREE, 20 minute discovery health coaching call.

Today I did my 7 minute presentation at my BNI meeting about gut health & I shared 2 successful case studies about clients who were having sugar cravings, gas, bloating and bowel irregularities. Sugar cravings are often a sign that there is an imbalance or an overgrowth in the gut or that you are not eating the right balance of macro nutrients (protein, carbs and fats) for your body type & metabolism.

As a former teacher of Food & Nutrition for 30 years & a certified health Coach, I am looking for speaking opportunities to educate groups on nutrition & gut health. I can also speak about how stress impacts the gut and a range of other topics.

Please PM me if you're interested in booking me as a guest speaker.

We have trillions of gut bacteria living inside our GI tract (1). Most bugs are beneficial (meaning they give us health benefits), some are neutral, and some are considered harmful and may cause disease or unwanted symptoms.

In 2020 I set myself the goal of healing my small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) with the Biphasic Diet and natural, antimicrobial treatment. I wanted to see if it was possible, I believed it was, yet I knew it was not going to be easy and I could have opted for a 2 week course of antibiotics instead. However, having had countless courses of antibiotics for repeated tonsillitis in my early twenties and as a child, I did not want to take any more antibiotics unless it was vital. Doctors did not tell you to take probiotics after a course of antibiotics in those days and little did I know how damaged my gut microbiome was!

It took over 5 months yet I healed my SIBO and this is one of the reasons I am a gut health coach and want to share what is possible for your gut health if you too are suffering with SIBO or other gut imbalances.

If you have gas, bloating, stomach pain, diarrhea, constipation or both then PM me to book a FREE, 20 minute, discovery health coaching call. I only offer 3 per week, so I am taking bookings for the week beginning May 24th 2021.

Just finished reading & summarizing this book into detailed notes to support my client & I highly recommend it. My client & I are going to apply the guidelines, let’s see what happens!

Keto, Paleo, Metabolism Reset, Blood Sugar Diet, Atkins, Zone, F-Plan, there are so many different diets out there and one size does not fit all. When choosing what works for you, remember that we are all bio-individual and it can take time to experiment and find your optimal way of eating for weight loss and/or weight maintenance.

Many thrive on the Keto lifestyle, yet it does exclude a wide range of resistant starches & there's research that states that it it best to limit the time one goes on a keto diet to about 6 weeks. I know some of you reading this have adopted it as a lifestyle and feel it works ongoingly, so like I said we are bio-individual.

My clients have had some of their best weight loss and maintenance results with The Metabolism Reset Diet by Dr. Alan Christianson and The Blood Sugar Diet by Dr. Michael Mosely. Another approach is simply to eat the healthy balanced diet that works for you and include the 5:2 intermittent fasting approach. These are the 3 approaches I have seen the best results with in my clients.

If you want to know more then PM me and book in a FREE, 20 minutes discovery call. I offer these slots 3 times a week only.
