I need to be real with you, I don’t like talking about “weight loss”, but the topic has been popping up everywhereeeeeee, In times it can feel shallow, overdone, and often damaging. But what I do love is sharing the science that helps people understand their bodies with compassion instead of criticism!

Here’s the truth: your fat cells play a huge role in how your body stores and protects energy. If you’ve ever felt like your body was fighting you, holding on no matter what you try, or refusing to put weight on despite eating more you’re not imagining it. That’s biology, not a lack of discipline.

This is why guilt and shame have no place in health. Your body isn’t broken; it’s protective, adaptive, and incredibly clever.

The more we understand this, the more we can focus on real health: strength, energy, sleep, mood, and self-trust, not just numbers on a scale.

Let me know in the comments if you knew this information as I truely have not heard many professionals chat about it. And when it comes down to it, the maintenance is the most important part if they are on a weight gain/loss journey.

Do we all love a board game night? Or not your style? C’mon are you the:

Competitive one?
Easy going one?
Strategist?
Bantering one?
Cheater cheater pumpkin eater?
Sore loser? 🙈

Board game nights aren’t just hilarious (if you get a good one) they’re therapy for your brain!

Research does show they can reduce stress, ease loneliness, and even strengthen those neural pathways through strategic thinking and social connection. And….peeps that play regularly have a 15% lower risk of developing dementia.

Sooo… who’s coming over for game night at mine? Bring snacks, good vibes, and no cheaters.

On that note, drop your all-time favourites below! Let’s build brains and memories together 😂 I will not let perimenopause get me.

The hot topic at the moment isn’t it! 💊

I was lucky enough to sit and listen to Dr Beth Steels Masterclass last week. What a world of knowledge she has under her belt.

There really is a lot of chatter about vitamin B6 lately, and it’s not without reason. While many think toxicity is simply about taking “too much,” the truth is often more complex.

It’s not always the dose that’s the issue, it’s how YOUR body processes, stores, and clears B6. Genetics, gut health, other nutrient levels, liver and kidney function can all play a role in whether B6 builds up or is used effectively.

This isn’t about fear, it’s about awareness. The conversation is growing, and that’s a good thing, because it means we can personalise health advice instead of relying on a one size fits all.

It’s an incredibly common question and one that is very much warranted… “why aren’t my supps working already” or “how long will they take”

I always like to say, as well as the info I have given here….EVERY SINGLE PERSON will respond differently to a supplement, medication or herbal. We are all unique humans and two people can be given the same dose of one substance and respond very differently. THIS is why it is so important to get patient centred care by a practitioner that can monitor how your body responds, either positively or negatively. (This can happen with any substance by the way)

It’s too common that we “expect” to have negative side effects from pharmaceuticals and put up with them because they are “doing their job”.

I hope this brings some light on the differences between these pharmaceuticals and nutraceuticals. 💛

You all loved when I shared some cases the other week, so here is another one that I will always hold close to my heart.

This 34yo woman is living proof of what’s possible when we stay curious, patient, and committed to uncovering the root cause.

She’s been working with me for over a year now, and together we’ve gently peeled back many layers, exploring histamine intolerance, hormonal shifts, food sensitivities, and the deep impact of stress on her nervous system.

What works for one person may not work for another. That’s the art of personalised care, troubleshooting, adjusting, and evolving the plan as life unfolds right.

In our recent follow-up, she shared that she hasn’t had a single bedridden migraine in over a month, her first time migraine-free in roughly 16 years. She’s stepped out of her comfort zone and dancing again, eating with confidence, and reclaiming her joy.

I had tears in my eyes hearing her update. I couldn’t be prouder. 💛

Healing is possible, one layer at a time.

I hope this case brings hope to you and that warm fuzzy feeling like it has with me.

All my love, Tara x

“I saw this video on TikTok and now I think I have ____.”

Sound familiar? It does to me!

The explosion of health content online means more people are becoming aware of their symptoms, which, don’t get me wrong, can be empowering.

But without context, guidance, or actual testing… it’s just anxiety in disguise.

Your brain loves a label when it’s trying to make sense of discomfort.
But self-diagnosis through reels and TikToks often leads to hypervigilance, panic, and chasing the wrong solutions. Hello health anxiety!!!

Here’s the truth:
⚫️ You may not have 7 different syndromes.
⚫️ You may be overwhelmed, inflamed, sleep-deprived, and stressed.
⚫️ And yes, that can look a lot like ADHD, PCOS, thyroid issues, or an autoimmune condition.

🤍 Your symptoms are real.
But let’s stop asking the algorithm for answers your body is trying to whisper to you.

You deserve a full picture, not a filter.

I hope this was a good reminder to reach out to a professional rather than typing in your symptoms to TikTok, Google or even Chat.

Tara x 💛

As we move into the colder months, I’m seeing a lot more tonsils flaring up: red, inflamed, swollen, and often hanging around far longer than they should.

But here’s the thing, chronic tonsilitis isn’t just about catching colds more often. It can be a sign of something deeper going on beneath the surface.

Your tonsils are lymphatic tissue, they act like the first line of defence in your immune system’s surveillance team 🦠

When they’re inflamed over and over again, it often means:
✔️ There’s a lingering immune burden.
✔️ The lymphatic system isn’t clearing waste efficiently.
✔️ Biofilms may be at play (aka bacteria building protective shields to hide from your immune system).
✔️ And sometimes, your gut and oral microbiome aren’t pulling their weight.

Biofilms….Yes, they’re real.
Think of them like microbial bunkers, bacteria form sticky, protective layers so your immune system and natural antimicrobials can’t touch them. It’s why some infections keep coming back despite “doing all the right things.”

So what can you do?
- Support your immune system and your drainage pathways (lymph, liver, bowels).
- Sip on calendula, echinacea, or cleavers tea for gentle lymph flow.
- Consider natural biofilm disruptors like garlic, NAC, or turmeric.
- Don’t overlook oral hygiene and the gut–throat connection.
- Gargle with warm saltwater, xylitol and stay well-hydrated peeps!

And if your tonsils keep crying out for help — don’t just suppress the symptoms.

Get curious.
Ask: Why is my immune system still struggling here?

Because when we treat the root, we stop fighting the same battle over and over again.

If you’re dealing with recurrent tonsillitis, sinus issues or sore throats that just won’t quit, there is a way forward that doesn’t end in another round of antibiotics or surgery.

Let your body speak, then give it what it’s asking for.

Just because something is common doesn’t mean it’s normal….. I say this phrase all too often tbh!

And when your body starts whispering through things like cracked lips, bumpy arms, or that annoying monthly mood swing, it’s often trying to tell you something deeper.

The truth? Most nutrient deficiencies don’t show up solo. They like to party together. So while this list isn’t diagnostic, it’s a solid nudge in the right direction.

These are some of the more overlooked signs that your body may be missing key vitamins. And while they seem small, they can quietly chip away at your energy, mood, skin, immune system and even hormonal health.

Curious if one of these resonates with you? Start with awareness... check in with your little bod and see how it feels.

A wee lil heads up.

Over the last 3 years, I’ve poured my heart into every treatment plan I create, each one tailored with careful thought, deep research, and a whole lot of care.

After some honest reflection (and gentle nudges from those around me!), I’ve come to realise that the time, energy, information delivered and expertise I bring to each consultation has outgrown the pricing I currently have set.

From June 1st, there will be a small increase to my consultation fees. This change is simply a reflection of the level of personalised support, ongoing research, and dedication I offer to every patient, something I take immense pride in. 💛

If you’d like to lock in your current consultation rate, all you need to do is book online before June 1st. Your actual appointment can be any time after that — the booking alone secures the current prices.

Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for your trust in me and for allowing me to be a part of your health journey. It’s something I never take for granted.

Tara 💛🌿😘 x
