Stop treating a SNP like it’s a medical condition called MTHFR.

Having a genetic variation does not necessitate you taking a s**t ton of methylfolate each day.

Having a MTHFR SNP is like seeing it’s raining outside.

You’re making a decision about your daily activities and what you are going to dress.

Do you wake up every day putting on a rain coat?

No.

So fricking stop taking methylfolate every day because you have a MTHFR snp!

I do not care how famous the podcast is. I do not care how fancy the PDF genetic report is.

Support your genetic variations by understanding what makes them more dirty or more clean.

How do you know?

By learning. Experience.

Not by blindly swallowing methylfolate every day.

Go to your local library and check out my book called DIRTY GENES.

Then you’ll know what to do when and why.

The BBC is creating a divide yet again. But what is pretty clear, is thinking for yourself, seems to be discouraged.

A man of colour who has a huge following has started to interview health experts, but not of the 'main stream kind'....how dare he? 😉

This type of 'news' just creates one way of thinking. So what do we do? Do we just follow the mainstream news? Do we not have a mind that allows us to think for ourselves and make our own informed decisions?

So, what is this misinformation? Does sharing podcasts on health make him a threat to our health and well-being?

How many medical treatments are risky...
- the prick with single-stranded RNA?
- Antibiotics that contain fluoroquinolones?
- Chemotherapy
- General Anaesthetics
- Jabs
- Steroids

How many patients are given the full information before being given the above modes of 'treatment' or 'foods'?

I have a client who went into full-blown psychosis due to overprescribing of steroids. I have clients who have severe issues due to the side effects of their medications, I have seen girls on birth control pills develop PCOS. I have seen several clients avoid severe surgeries due to the mis-prescription of methotrexate...why are all these not investigated. So many stories like this from colleagues and even those in the mainstream profession.

What is the BBC afraid of? How many people who have cancer are advised to cut out sugar in mainstream medicine? So far, I have not come across one. Anyone? And keto, oh goodness, lets not go there.

How many doctors have told my clients that what I advise is 'quackery' and that it is misinformation? When you see type 2 diabetes completely reversed, gall stones dissolve, PMS resolve, acne clear, and pregnancies happen when told they have no option but IVF.., the list is pretty long and impressive.

These results would not be the case if it was not for so-called 'mis-information.' Sure, the Dr saying gluten is the cause of auto-immune conditions is incorrect. Gluten is one factor that aggravates autoimmune conditions, and by removing gluten, the gut can start to heal which can help put auto-immune conditions into remission.

How many women who have a history of breast cancer are advised to avoid HRT and/or birth control pills unless they have a DNA test to check their metabolism of hormones? 🤫

How many people are advised on a healthier lifestyle rather than wait until they develop dis-ease?

If the Diary of a CEO is spreading misinformation, then why is the BBC jumping in? Since when have they empowered the public's health and well-being?

Dare to think differently? 😮 Ask questions, do the research.

Natural vs Organic Skin Care: What You Need to Know
When it comes to skin care, the terms natural and organic are not strictly regulated. Unlike food, which must contain at least 95% organic ingredients to be labeled organic, skin care and beauty products only need one organic ingredient—sometimes making up just 10% of the product—to claim they're "organic." Don't be fooled by marketing!
The average woman uses over 20 different products before leaving the house, and up to 67% of what we put on our skin is absorbed into the body. These chemicals bypass the liver and kidneys and go straight into fat cells for storage. When you eat something non organic, your liver can at least filter some of the toxins, but with skin products, that doesn’t happen.
Many of these products contain forever chemicals, which don’t break down and accumulate in our bodies over time. I contributed to an article about forever chemicals, highlighting their dangerous impact. (link below if you wish to read) A lot of these chemicals are also endocrine disruptors—meaning they mess with your hormones. This can lead to imbalances that disrupt everything from your menstrual cycle to weight gain, especially during menopause when your hormones are already in flux.
During menopause, symptoms like hot flashes, mood swings, and fatigue can be made worse by exposure to these hormone-disrupting chemicals. Some of them, known as obesogens, actively contribute to weight gain, making it harder to maintain a healthy weight during this already challenging time.
Sadly many babies start their life with a chemical burden because these chemicals can be passed on to them, both during pregnancy and through breastfeeding. You might not be thinking if getting pregnant but maybe your daughter is?
The good news is, there are better products out there—you just need to know how to cut through the greenwashing, understand labels, and choose safer alternatives.
I'll be diving deep into this topic on October 28th during the Reset & Thrive Community Monthly Webinar. If this is a topic you wish to learn more about, send me a DM, or shout yes below

Stress & Perimenopause

Chronic stress can have a significant impact on overall well-being, which I discuss in this article I co-authored for The Independent online Newspaper:

‘Interpreting Them as a Sabre-toothed Tiger’: How Cortisol Actually Deals with Daily Stressors in Our Bodies. - Full Article Below

However did you know that chronic stress can also exacerbate symptoms of perimenopause?

Chronic stress can cause dysregulation of cortisol, your primary stress hormone. This disruption can upset the delicate balance of other hormones crucial in perimenopause, like oestrogen and progesterone. As a result, hormonal imbalances worsen, amplifying perimenopausal symptoms.

The symptoms of perimenopause that can be exacerbated or influenced by chronic stress include:

– Hot flushes and night sweats: Stress can trigger or worsen these symptoms, making them more frequent or intense.

– Mood swings and irritability: Chronic stress can contribute to emotional instability, leading to mood swings, irritability, anxiety, or depression during perimenopause.

– Sleep disturbances: Stress-induced cortisol imbalance can disrupt your sleep patterns, leading to insomnia or disrupted sleep during perimenopause.

- Fatigue: Chronic stress can contribute to persistent fatigue or low energy levels, exacerbating feelings of tiredness commonly experienced during perimenopause.

– Weight changes: Stress-related cortisol fluctuations may lead to weight gain, particularly around the abdomen, which is a common concern during perimenopause.

– Cognitive issues: Chronic stress can impair cognitive function, leading to memory problems, difficulty concentrating, or brain fog during perimenopause.

Learning techniques to enhance resilience to stress and effectively manage stress can be powerful strategies for alleviating perimenopausal symptoms.

As online searches for ‘cortisol’ reach an all-time high, Olivia Petter examines what the stress hormone really does to our bodies, and how to control it

Many women report an increase in frequency, or the onset of headache/migraine in the perimeno transition.
Migraines, and chronic headaches are a complex, multi-factorial condition with multiple root causes. Here are some of the common root causes of migraines and chronic headaches.
