Are you ready to improve your health?

Explore functional, holistic and integrative health 

Understand your body so you can support it with confidence.

When you can see what is affecting your energy, digestion, sleep, hormones, and metabolism, you can make choices that actually help. No guessing and no overwhelm, just clarity and tools that work with your biology.

Your body runs on patterns. Minerals, digestion, stress load, and metabolism are all linked. When one area is under strain, the others adapt. Instead of chasing symptoms, we look at the underlying pattern that shapes how you feel. This begins with simple testing and clear guidance.

ABOUT ME

I spent many years trying to understand my health when symptoms didn’t make sense and conventional explanations fell short. That led me to study how the body works as a connected system, where minerals, digestion, stress signals, metabolism, and emotional states all influence one another. When I began supporting my body at that deeper level, things finally started to shift.

I trained at the Academy of Healing Nutrition, where I learnt to view well-being through a holistic lens, recognising that physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual health are linked. From there, I went on to advanced training in integrative health and functional medicine, continuing my professional development through CPD-accredited training. My studies have focused on physiology, mineral balance, adrenal and thyroid patterns, metabolic function, nutritional biochemistry, and the mind-body relationship.

I value clarity, curiosity, and working with the body rather than forcing or fighting it. I think the body can restore balance if we know what it needs and allow it to happen.

FOOD AS MEDICINE

Integrative Nutrition

 Food is a powerful tool for preventing and managing health conditions. It is important to choose nutrient-dense foods and pay attention to the quality of our diet. I have a holistic view of nutrition, taking into consideration not only the foods you eat but also your lifestyle, emotional well-being, and individual health needs. My approach recognises the influence of mental and emotional factors on dietary choices and health outcomes. Stress reduction, mindfulness, and emotional well-being are integral to a healthy lifestyle.

  • People love to judge and criticise, and they are adamant they know better.

They tell me I “need veg” and I “need balance” like it’s the one rule that fixes everything.

I get comments like, “Ask any doctor about vegetables, they’re essential, see what they say about meat, especially red meat.”

Then it turns into, “Any doctor will tell you to cut down on red meat because it raises cholesterol, go ahead and clog your arteries.”

The ignorance is unreal.

They don’t believe how far I’ve come, and I must be lying because how can you be doing well when you eat mostly animal food?

But they weren’t there before.

There was a point where I couldn’t leave the house. Eating caused me so much pain. I was hospitalised many times.

Yes, I did your “balanced diet” and ate “everything in moderation” for years.

I ate the way we are all told to eat, the sourdough bread, the sweet potatoes, the vegetables, the low fat meals, the dark chocolate, the red wine, because that is all normal.

And I suffered.

Not “a bit bloated.” I mean, I suffered. The kind that makes you cancel plans. The kind that makes you scared to eat. The kind that takes over your life.

So I educated myself because the medical profession couldn’t.

And when I changed how I ate, I changed my health and my life.

I’m not here to lie to people, to “spread misinformation” or sell anything. I just share what I have learned, and what has actually worked for me.
  • Eating real food is not extreme. 
And adding some potato’s fried in seed oil doesn’t make it balanced. 

Balance is getting the nutrients you need and feeling satiated.
  • Beef. Salt. Water.

This seems to cause panic in some people.

It’s the food that actually satiates me, I stop when I am done, and I am not thinking about food again five minutes later.

It is also why I’m not bloated, and why I can still fit into the same pair of jeans I’ve had for 20 years without trying.
  • I’ve got a new fan troll and she’s very committed. My notifications are basically her face at this point.

Imagine having that much free time! 

I know you’re all enjoying the comment section, but it’s getting a bit weird now.

Still, every comment boosts the algorithm and helps my page, so honestly, carry on. I’ll keep posting for you.

Anyway, I’ve got a beef roast to cook. What are you having today?
  • “Steak is harmful.”

But a donut is a “treat” and “you deserve it.”

That’s what happens when people are trained to fear real food and celebrate packaged sugar like it’s self care.

So they repeat the same lines on autopilot.
They don’t question it.
They don’t look at outcomes.
They just defend the script.

And when someone eats differently and looks better for it, it annoys them, because it exposes the lie.

What food did you used to fear?
