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.

  • Do you really need anymore proof that the NHS is all about money and not health? 

The NHS box is a powdered total diet replacement made from milk proteins, maltodextrin, vegetable oils, fibre such as inulin and acacia gum, added vitamins and minerals, omega oils, flavourings, sweeteners and thickeners. 

And only 33% reached remission at 12 months. I wonder why? 

It is really does not that complicated, just eat a proper human diet.
  • Let’s clear up some myths…

Some people think that we should all live on plants or even worse just fruit.

I get that colourful salad bowls and smoothies look pretty on Instagram but it is not what the body actually needs

• Vitamin B12 is made by microbes not plants. Reliable sources are meat, liver, fish, eggs and dairy.

• Vitamin A in animal foods is preformed retinol. It comes from liver, egg yolks and oily fish. Carrots supply beta carotene which must be converted to retinol and conversion is often poor. 

• Haem iron comes from meat, fish and poultry and is absorbed directly by the gut so it raises iron status predictably. Non haem iron from plants is inhibited by phytates and polyphenols and needs help to absorb.

• EPA and DHA are long chain omega 3 fats concentrated in oily fish and animal fats. Plants supply ALA which the body must convert inefficiently.

• Meat, fish, eggs and dairy provide complete protein and all essential amino acids in a single meal.

• Creatine and taurine are largely found in animal foods and important for brain and muscle energy.

• Collagen and glycine are found in connective tissue and bone broth and supply repair building blocks that are scarce in plant foods.

• Zinc and selenium are more bioavailable from animal sources and easier for the body to use.

• Vitamin K2, iodine, choline and vitamin D are either scarce or less reliable from plants and are easily covered with regular animal foods.

Plants also contain phytates, oxalates, lectins and some polyphenols which reduce mineral and protein absorption. Traditional cooking and processing reduce these factors but do not remove the issue entirely. 

Plants are optional extras not essential nutrients. 

Share this if you think others should stop confusing style with substance.
  • Isn’t it about time they banned fireworks outside of organised displays?

The random ones in the street just scare pets, wildlife, babies, and anyone who already feels on edge.

If people want fireworks, why can’t they can go to a proper display where it’s expected? 
Not on every street in the neighbourhood. 

It’s just unnecessary.
  • Our ancestors didn’t count calories.

They counted seasons.
They didn’t read labels.
They read the land.

Most people are disconnected.
And everything they told us to fear salt, meat, sunlight
was exactly what made us strong.
  • People often ask why the carnivore diet works so well. 
It’s nothing new.
It’s ancestral.

You stop feeding your body things that confuse it,
and start giving it what it’s made from.

No calorie counting.
No fake ingredients.
Just real food, the kind your ancestors would recognise.

Meat, eggs, fat, salt, and light.
When you cut out ultra-processed foods, seed oils, grains, and additives, you stop constantly spiking insulin and irritating the gut.

That’s when the body finally gets a chance to rest, rebuild, and rebalance.

Your body already knows what to do. It just needs the right conditions.
