Contact me if you need help with your oral health. Bleeding gums, repeated infections, fear of dentists.
I have had to face my fear of dental treatment which meant I avoided the dentist for more than a decade.
I speak to many women in their 50s who also have been the same and who make excuses for avoiding dental treatment.
It is expensive but very necessary.

I am so happy that was are having a good flush of strawberries this year.
Strawberries are so highly sprayed. They are number 5 on New Zealands Dirty Dozen list, so although they are so fresh, juicy and yummy, most bought strawberries are unfortunately very high in pesticide residue.
Not everyone can detoxify pesticides.

A high need for Choline comes up in most of the Comprehensive DNA tests that I have had done for clients.
Choline is highest in liver (3 oz., 356mg), pastured eggs (2 eggs, 294mg), beef round (6 oz., 234mg), heart (3 oz., 194mg), chicken (6 oz., 144mg), wild cod (6 oz., 142mg), bacon (3.5 oz., 125mg), and edamame (1/2 cup,

New research has linked choline deficiency to anxiety. It makes sense because choline is so important for the brain!

Links below.

Here are a few quick facts about this key nutrient:

💜 Choline is the precursor to acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that’s calming, supports memory, and even helps to regulate appetite, gut motility, and metabolism.

💜 Your body can make a little choline, but not much. Most of it needs to come from food.

💜 Choline production depends on estrogen, which has researchers wondering if some of the brain benefits of estrogen therapy come from its support of choline metabolism. (You can also just take choline.)

💜 Scientists are pretty worried about how little choline most people eat.

💜 Choline is one of the five “missing metabolic nutrients” I highlight in my metabolism book.

It is that time of the year (in New Zealand) that the elders are flowering ... so the perfect time to make some Elder Flower Cordial. I love it with some soda and ice! It only takes 24 hours to make.
This recipe makes 10 litres, easy to halve it if you don't have much space in your fridge. (We have a spare fridge and lots of large bottles that we have saved over the years.)

Due to the high number of submissions the amount of glysophate residue on grains wont be raised! Good news but not still not ideal

After carefully considering industry, stakeholder, and public feedback on a proposal to change maximum residue levels (MRLs) for glyphosate in wheat, barley and oats, New Zealand Food Safety has decided to set a limit of 0.1mg/kg (the same as the current default level) and to restrict the permitted....

As the weather warms up, we start to feel more like lighter foods, and a great way to start the day is with a healthy smoothie.

It is easy to pack nutrients into your smoothie. See attached photos for my Nutrient dense smoothie handout.
