Healing happens when we support the whole system. Nutrition, supplements, stress resilience, movement, and lifestyle choices all play a role. Functional medicine coaching connects the dots so you know exactly what to focus on.

With the right tools and support, your body can rebuild energy, repair itself, and work the way it was designed to. This is about practical, step-by-step changes that bring lasting health and freedom.

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.

  • Most people panic when they see a high cholesterol number.

They get told it is dangerous, that they need to cut fat, eat oats, and take statins.

Total cholesterol alone means almost nothing.
What matters is what the body is doing with it.

If your triglycerides are high and HDL is low, that points to insulin resistance. The body cannot use fuel properly, so fat and sugar get trapped in the blood. That is when cholesterol markers become concerning.

But if your triglycerides are low, HDL is strong, CRP is low, and your energy, skin, and hormones are steady, then higher cholesterol can actually be a sign your body is rebuilding and running on clean fat for fuel.

Cholesterol is not the problem.
It is a responder, not a cause.
It rises when your body is repairing cells, fighting infection, or under stress.
It lowers when your body is inflamed, starving, or breaking down tissue.

The real red flags are rarely on the front page of the blood test.
Look deeper:
• Triglycerides to HDL ratio should be under 2
• Fasting insulin ideally under 6
• HbA1c around 5 or less
• CRP ideally under 1
These show how well your metabolism and inflammatory balance are working together.

If you are eating low fat, high carb foods trying to lower cholesterol, you might be driving those markers in the wrong direction.
That is why so many people with normal cholesterol still end up with heart problems. They fixed the number, not the cause.

So before fearing cholesterol, understand what it is trying to tell you.

It is not a threat. It is communication from your body.
  • There’s been a lot of talk lately in the carnivore community about people adding a little carbs back, some fruit, some dairy, or fermented foods.

I don’t think anyone should be criticised for making these changes. Everyone is different. The goal isn’t to prove who’s the strictest, it’s to feel good and stay healthy.

Some people have never been fully carnivore all the time, and that’s fine. You can stay carnivore-based and move in and out of carnivore or keto depending on how you feel. For many, this way of eating began as a healing phase, not a lifelong rule.

For me, carnivore was never about losing weight. It was about healing. Once I healed, I was able to bring back a little fruit and some dairy, and still feel balanced and strong.

A lot of people thrive long-term on strict carnivore. Others start noticing shifts in sleep, mood, energy, or thyroid rhythm.

So why might this happen?

When insulin stays too low for too long, the body can start leaning on stress hormones like cortisol and adrenaline to stay balanced. Many find they feel better when they bring back small, natural insulin cues. It’s about finding balance between insulin and glucagon.

That might include:
• Low-calcium dairy such as double cream or Greek yoghurt
• Egg yolks or liver for small glycogen boosts
• A few low-sugar fruits like berries or half a banana if tolerated
• Avocado for gentle carbs and minerals that support balance

This is why I set up my group Holistic Carnivore Nutrition, because I wanted a space where people could talk openly, learn, experiment, and find what works for their own body without being judged or attacked.

People are not leaving carnivore behind, they are just adjusting with their biology. Still eating real food, still following an ancestral pattern, just in a way that supports the body.
