Hair loss is a common side effect of stress.

My post yesterday spoke about digestion upsets caused by ongoing stress. An upset of poor functioning digestion can easily contribute to hair loss. If digestion is not good nutrient absorption from food can be poor.

Toxic elements can also contribute to stress, and the body's ability to absorb and use vital nutrients to support hair growth and health, skin and nail health. If your body is trying to deal with toxins like mercury aluminum lead, excess iron, hair loss can be a real problem!

A Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) can provide specific answers about why you are losing hair, and my personalised report can help you take the right steps to improve your health and promote hair growth.

Did you know that prolonged stress can increase cortisol levels on your body which can damage the lining of the gut?

This natural reaction to prolonged stress can cause digestive upsets and inflammation around the body, and in turn cause more stress! It's a vicious cycle.

During a Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) I look at the short term and long term stress that may be showing up in your results, and we look at where this stress could be coming from

Stress can come from every day life, which is natural. However if we are not coping well it becomes an ongoing stress, which can affect mineral levels, and also effect digestion. Some people might lose their appetite, or find it difficult to eat any size of a meal, or become very sensitive to some foods.

This is part of a chronic stress response.

Do you think you have been dealing with chronic stress?
Would you like to use a simple cost effect test to see how your body is coping with stress - or if there is something other than normal daily life causing your stress?

Did you know you can book a free discovery call to see if HTMA is suitable for you?

Not all post surgical complaints are solved with painkillers, anti-inflammatories or probiotics.

I've seen lots of post surgical pains, aches, pinches, wounds heal a lot faster with a holistic approach.

The first thing I notice about aperson with post surgical pain is the strain on their face
- being in constant pain is exhausting!
- being in constant pain is debilitation, restricts movement, creates constant tension in the body
- depletes energy
- pain can lead to low mood, depression, anxiety, and lowers quality of life.

After taking holistic pain relief I always notice a smile on a patients face - the strain goes from their face, and their skin starts to glow again.

Holistic pain relief is not about blocking the pain- it's about encouraging healing so the body heals and no longer needs pain meds.

Reach out if you're experiencing post surgery pain - you don't need to suffer
There is another way!

I prefer to use a more natural, and in my experience, a more effective way of dealing with Tick bites, insect and mosquito bites.

Harsh medications can damage the balance of our microbiome - and we as humans depend on healthy microbiome for a strong immune system that will deal with various pathogens, invaders, bacteria, viruses - and insect bites.

A weak microbiome causes weakness in the body's ability to stay in a better, stronger, state of health.

Using gentler natural medicines as soon as possible after a tick or insect bite can reduce the risk of developing nasty symptoms.

Hemorrhoids are also related to blood pressure - why? Because both may be caused by damaged veins.
