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.

  • You’re not wrong to be confused about supplements.
The industry is a circus.

So here are three simple rules I use when I look at “longevity” stuff:

• If it does not support mitochondria, sleep, or collagen, it is probably not a core longevity supplement
• Glycine, creatine and taurine have far more useful human data behind them than half the fancy branded powders out there
• Capsules can help, but if they ignore light rhythms, minerals and real food, they just become expensive pee

In my new subscriber post I take this much further and walk through:

• The small group of nutrients I actually rate for long term cell support
• How I stack things like glycine, taurine, creatine, collagen and carnosine without stressing the system
• Which supplements I put in “repair”, “sleep”, “joints”, “skin”, “training” and “brain” so they have a clear job
• Where the research is strong, where it is weak, and what I would not bother spending money on

If you want the full breakdown, with examples and simple starting points, that is all inside today’s subscriber guide.
  • They already add cheap seed oils to most shop bought bread. Now the government has decided that synthetic folate has to be added to your flour.

In the UK, almost all non wholemeal wheat flour will have synthetic folic acid added to it. Not just pregnancy vitamins, not a short term choice, but a quiet long term dose built into the food supply.

That one decision does not just touch “bread”. It flows into pizza, biscuits, buns, wraps, cakes, pastries, cheap sandwiches, the kids’ snacks, the toast your nan lives on. If it is made with standard white flour, it is part of the scheme.

So no matter your age, genetics, B12 status, or how much folate rich food you already eat. You will be getting the synthetic stuff as well. 

If enzymes like D H F R in the liver and M T H F R are slower at dealing with folic acid, more of that synthetic form can sit in the blood as ‘unfinished’ folate instead of being turned into the type your cells actually use. 

They call it public health. In reality it is a small group of people deciding a synthetic vitamin formula for the whole country, writing it into your food by law before you even knew there was a choice to be made.
  • You’re eating better.
You’ve cut the junk.
Maybe you’ve even added the right supplements.
But your energy still crashes.
Your brain feels slow.
And your body just won’t switch back on.

This is what happens when your mitochondria (the part of your cells that makes energy) no longer feel safe to produce.

It’s not about willpower.
It’s not even about food.

Your mitochondria are always scanning the environment.
If they sense stress, inflammation, light mismatch, or nutrient gaps, they shut down production to protect you.

That’s when fatigue hits.
That’s when the body holds back.

I just posted a full subscriber guide that walks through exactly how to support your mitochondria with:

• Key nutrients your cells actually need
• Supplement examples that don’t overload the system
• A light rhythm reset to restore natural energy
• Signs your mitochondria are in defence mode
• Practical ways to get out of survival and back into function

This guide is written for real life.
No hype. No tracking. Just what works.

  • You probably will not see this in the usual headlines about red meat.

Harvard affiliated researchers looked at more than 2,000 adults who had switched to a carnivore style way of eating and stayed with it for at least six months.

Over 90 percent said their overall health felt better than on their previous diet.

On average, people moved from the “overweight” range into a normal BMI.
Many reported calmer digestion, more stable energy and mood, and better blood sugar and triglyceride markers when they checked labs with their doctors.

A lot of them also reported that, after changing how they eat with medical supervision, they were able to rely on fewer medications.

For all the fear around meat, this is real world data from real people.
When they cut out sugar and ultra processed food and base their meals on meat, eggs and animal fats, they do not fall apart.

They feel and function better.
