Elemental Health and Nutrition

Elemental Health and Nutrition Functional Medicine aims to find the root cause of illness by looking deeper into a persons biochemi When this balance becomes disrupted, illness can occur.

Every aspect of your body, even your DNA, is composed of an abundance of vitamins and minerals, which exist in perfect harmony. Nutritional medicine aims to bring the body back into equilibrium through dietary and lifestyle changes, and focused supplementation. A nutritional consultation involves taking a thorough case history, analyzing your diet, and taking lifestyle factors and day-to-day stressors into consideration. This holistic approach helps to get to the true root of your issue, and not simply treat your symptom. The following conditions are among those that can benefit from a nutritional consult.

- Constant stress
- Poor sleep
- Fatigue
- Brain fog
- Anxiety or depression
- Learning difficulties
- High histamine
- Methylation issues
- Poor weight management
- Digestive issues
- Cardiovascular issues

I also have a strong interest in mental health issues, methylation and genetic polymorphisms, which can benefit from targeted functional testing and precise supplementation.

One of my favourite quotes from physicist Richard Feynman 🧠

In functional medicine, I see how stress and worry literally change our biochemistry - elevated cortisol, disrupted gut health, weakened immunity.

But here's the flip side: curiosity, growth, love, and purpose? These create healing environments in our bodies.

Your mindset isn't just philosophical - it's physiological.

Your tech is silently stressing your body.

That constant EMF exposure from devices isn't just noise; it's a constant, low-grade stressor that can sabotage your sleep, hormone balance, and cellular energy (mitochondria).

The solution is simple: Reduce your EMF load, especially when sleeping and working!

Implement these three tips to lower inflammation and calm your nervous system.

Are you still struggling with debilitating fatigue, brain fog, and muscle weakness months after an illness?

I frequently work with clients who feel stuck between a diagnosis of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) and the lingering effects of Long COVID. While the names are different, the underlying mechanisms share striking similarities.

As a Functional Medicine Practitioner, I see this as a problem rooted in cellular energy and immune dysregulation. My approach focuses on the principles you see here:

🔋 Mitochondrial Health: I deep-dive into the power source of your cells to optimise energy production, which is often severely compromised in both conditions.

🛡️ Immune Support & Modulation: I look beyond simple inflammation to identify underlying triggers, stealth infections, and autoimmunity that keep your body in a constant state of alert.

I don't treat a label; I treat the whole person by addressing the root cause of the energy deficit.

🛑 STOP GUESSING! Your body is sending vital clues about nutrient deficiencies are you listening?

That one annoying symptom, like restless legs at night, is my cue to investigate deeper. Symptoms are often your body whispering for help, indicating specific nutritional gaps.

As a Functional Medicine Practitioner, I move past the guesswork. I utilise advanced functional testing, such as Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) and the Organic Acid Test (OAT), to pinpoint your exact nutritional needs.

I don't give you generic supplements. I build a Precision Nutrition Plan designed just for you, addressing your needs for minerals like Zinc and Magnesium, and crucial vitamin co-factors.

Your thyroid is the master thermostat of your body. 🌡️

These common questions all point to one source: a struggling thyroid gland.

✔️ Hair Loss & Dry Skin: Low thyroid function slows down cell turnover and metabolism, leading to excessive shedding and a lack of moisture in the skin.

✔️ Anxiety: Thyroid hormones regulate your nervous system. An imbalance can put the system into a constant state of high alert, creating persistent anxiety and mood swings.

These symptoms aren't just stress; they are your body confirming that its master regulator needs attention.

When "Normal" Blood Work Hides the Truth

A 51-year-old came in with worsening migraines, crushing fatigue, and weight gain.
She'd had low iron needing an infusion 18 months ago. Then got a Mirena for heavy periods.
I tested her iron expecting it to be low again. It was dangerously HIGH!

She has haemochromatosis – a genetic iron overload condition.

The twist? Her periods had been protecting her for decades by removing excess iron. Once the Mirena stopped her bleeding, iron rapidly accumulated to toxic levels.

Treatment: Therapeutic blood removal, antioxidants, and quercetin to draw iron from tissues.

Your blood results are rarely just "normal." There's always a story in those numbers.

Nourishment doesn't have to be complicated.

Sometimes the best medicine is a big bowl filled with colorful foods that actually support your body's healing processes.

🌱 Nutrient-dense leafy greens for folate and antioxidants
🥕 Roasted vegetables for prebiotic fiber to feed your gut microbiome
🌰 Nuts and seeds providing healthy fats and minerals
🍅 Fresh cherry tomatoes loaded with lycopene

When you're dealing with chronic fatigue, gut issues, or hormonal imbalances, every meal is an opportunity to either support or hinder your healing journey.

Your body deserves real food that works WITH it, not against it.

Stop searching for a "thyroid weight loss pill." That is NOT what medication is for. 🛑

Here is the hard truth: Thyroid meds (like Levothyroxine) are designed to restore your metabolism to normal levels—not speed it up to burn fat.

They help fix the slowdown caused by hypothyroidism, but they aren't a magic fix. True weight management still comes down to gut health, diet, and addressing the root cause.

Tired of guessing? Let's look at the bigger picture.

If you want to explore a Functional Medicine approach to your thyroid and metabolism, I can help.

That sudden dizzy rush when you jump out of a chair is called Orthostatic Hypotension—your blood pressure temporarily dips because gravity pulls blood away from your brain.

While it's usually harmless, it's annoying and sometimes scary! Here are three practical fixes to stop the head rush before it starts:

💧 Hydrate Before You Rise: Dehydration is the #1 trigger. Get up only after you’ve had a full glass of water, especially first thing in the morning.

🦵 The Pre-Stand Wiggle: Before standing, pump your calf muscles a few times (flexing your feet up and down). This engages the "muscle pump" to push blood back up towards your core and brain.

🐢 The Two-Step Rise: Never jump up. When sitting, pause for a few seconds before rising. When standing, pause and shift your weight before walking away. Slowing down gives your body time to stabilize blood flow.

Keep your blood moving and your head clear! Save this post for your next meeting break!

Mitochondrial density and efficiency directly dictate how long you can perform and how quickly your body repairs itself. To truly level up your endurance, you need more, healthier power plants!

Training Tips
HIIT Training: Short bursts of high-intensity exercise followed by brief rest is one of the most effective ways to trigger mitochondrial biogenesis (making new mitochondria).

Cold Exposure: Cold plunges or showers can activate pathways that boost mitochondrial function and resilience.

Fueling Strategy: Use healthy fats (like medium-chain triglycerides, or MCTs) as fuel, as they can be metabolized efficiently by mitochondria.

Rest is Repair: Allow adequate rest days; mitochondria repair and multiply during downtime!

➡️ Challenge yourself: Try one new mitochondrial-boosting activity this week! Tell us what you tried below!

Why does your 3 PM sugar fix lead to 5 PM jitters and irritability? 😩 We’ve all been there: reaching for that chocolate for a quick boost, only to feel worse an hour later.

It’s not just your energy crashing—it’s your mood and anxiety taking a hit too!

Here’s the science of the Sugar-Anxiety Cycle:

The Spike: High-sugar foods cause your blood glucose to skyrocket. Your body releases a flood of insulin to bring it down fast.

The Crash: This rapid drop in blood sugar (hypoglycemia) mimics a stress response. Your body releases stress hormones like adrenaline and cortisol to stabilize your blood sugar.

The Jitters: Adrenaline and cortisol are designed for "fight or flight." Even though you're just sitting at your desk, these hormones create the physical symptoms of anxiety: shakiness, racing heart, and intense irritability.

Instead of reaching for sugar next time, grab balanced snacks with protein and healthy fat to keep your energy and mood stable!
