The Cholesterol Myth That’s Been Starving Your Brain

For decades, we’ve been told cholesterol is the enemy right?

The villain behind heart disease, clogged arteries, and stroke risk. But here’s the truth that rarely gets told…

Cholesterol isn’t the problem — it’s part of the solution. Let’s zoom out and think root cause for a moment.

Your body doesn’t make something harmful by mistake. In fact, every single cell in your body needs cholesterol — especially your brain, which holds over 25% of your body’s total cholesterol. In fact it’s the raw material for:

🌿 Hormones like estrogen, testosterone, and cortisol (your stress + energy regulators)
🌿 Vitamin D production (your immune and mood stabiliser)
🌿 Myelin sheaths that protect your nerve and brain cells — essential for memory, focus, and emotional balance

So, when we lower cholesterol synthetically without addressing inflammation, nutrient deficiencies, or metabolic imbalance, we’re not fixing the root cause — we’re just muting the symptom.

👉 Low cholesterol has been linked with brain fog, depression, anxiety, hormonal chaos, and even early cognitive decline — because your brain can’t thrive when its building blocks are stripped away.

It’s not about “good” or “bad” cholesterol — it’s about balance and function.

The real question isn’t how do I lower cholesterol? rather it should be "Why is my body producing more in the first place?"

Often, cholesterol rises as a protective response to inflammation, oxidative stress, or tissue repair needs. Your body is trying to heal. When we look at it through a root cause lens, the goal isn’t suppression — it’s support.

Support the liver, reduce chronic inflammation, Nourish the gut, Balance your blood sugar & rebuild your brain.

Because when you work with your body, at a root cause level and not against it — cholesterol becomes what it was always meant to be, a healing molecule, protector & a key to brain health and longevity.

Look into ways you could reduce your cholesterol naturally and do some more in depth research into how your lifestyle, prescribed drugs may be hindering your return to healing.

Have you conducted research on this device yet?

The effects of radiation "noise" on your body's organs requires immediate attention.
Non-ionizing radiation is all around us—from smartphones and Wi-Fi to microwaves, gaming devices etc

While it’s generally considered less harmful than ionizing radiation, emerging research suggests that prolonged exposure may still have health implications.

This device specifically targets and suppresses non-ionising EMF radiation exposure between 3MHz and 1000MHz.

Blood tests indicate dramatic improvement in roulex (cell clumping) with use of this device and Studies have indicated potential links between non-ionizing radiation and various health issues. A few are listed below:

Sleep Disturbances: Research has shown that exposure to EMFs can interfere with sleep patterns, leading to insomnia and fatigue.

Cognitive Effects: Some studies suggest that long-term exposure to EMFs may affect memory and cognitive function, particularly in children.

Cellular Stress: Research has indicated that non-ionizing radiation can cause oxidative stress at the cellular level, potentially leading to inflammation and chronic health conditions.

Reproductive Health: Certain studies have raised concerns about the impact of EMF exposure on reproductive health, including s***m quality and hormonal balance.

Patented innovation and high - level testing has been conducted. A Great you tube on the dangers is below.

🌫️ Brain Fog Isn’t Aging — It’s Inflammation (Here’s How to Help it Naturally)

That fuzzy, heavy, can’t-think-straight feeling? It’s not just “getting older.” It’s your body whispering (or yelling), something’s off inside.

Brain fog is inflammation in disguise, building slowly from everyday things like:
🔥 Blood sugar swings, Ultra-processed foods
💤 Poor sleep & chronic stress, gut imbalance & dehydration & mineral loss

Your brain isn’t broken. It’s inflamed, tired, and under-fuelled — and it’s asking you to listen, not medicate. Here’s how to start clearing the fog from the root 👇

Hydrate (properly).
Your brain is 75% water. Even mild dehydration slows neural signaling. DRINK QUALITY water - I drink filtered Hydrogen rich ALKALISED water from an ioniser. You could add a pinch of Celtic salt to your water if you dont have this option— your brain doesn’t just need water, it needs minerals to absorb and fire efficiently.

Herbal brain nourishers support oxygen, blood flow, and repair with nature’s cognitive tonics:
🌿 I grow my own Brahmi (Bacopa monnieri), helps memory, focus & nerve repair
🌿 Ginkgo biloba – increases the blood flow to the brain
🌿 Gotu kola – soothes stress while supporting clarity and calm
These herbs work gently over time via true nourishment, not stimulation.

Balance your blood sugar.
Those 3 pm crashes, sugar cravings, and mood dips? They’re brain fuel problems.
Keep meals balanced with protein, healthy fats, and fibre so your brain runs on steady energy — not glucose chaos.

Brain fog isn’t a sign of aging — it’s a sign of inflammation, imbalance, and depletion yet when you hydrate, nourish, and stabilise your body, that fog starts to lift. Many have reported brain fog since CV vaccines. Explore this more deeply, there is discussion about connection here from an inflammatory response perspective.

Clarity returns. Energy rebuilds. Mood resets. That’s not youth coming back — that’s inflammation leaving. ✨

This is educational not medical advice. Always consult a practitioner for guidance appropriate to you.

Sunglasses can be Cellular su***de. ☀️

Sunglaasses have a profound impact on our physiological well-being. When sunlight enters the eyes on a sunny day, it stimulates the pineal and pituitary glands, sending a signal to the brain that it's sunny outside.

This, in turn, prepares the skin for direct sunlight and triggers vitamin D production.

The sunrise and sunset provide natural, cost-free means of resetting mitochondria in our cell neurotransmitters.

However, wearing sunglasses can starve the pineal gland, tricking the brain into thinking it's cloudy, and preventing the skin from preparing for sun exposure.

Furthermore, sunglasses block the essential ultra-violet rays required for energy production.

For individuals with compromised immune systems, increased sunlight exposure is necessary to stimulate T-cell activity.

Solar exposure enhances T-cell physiology, making them more immunocompetent.

Whenever possible, consider forgoing sunglasses to nourish your system instead.

SILENCED FOR TELLING THE TRUTH

After 25 years of censorship, Dr. Andrew Wakefield has finally been vindicated!!

Ive had so many converstions for 18+ years now with friends, my kids paedeatrician and clients who all said "His views have been debunked ", "Hes a gastroentrinologist, not a paed, what would he know they'd say"

Well actually Ive always replied "censored and silenced has been the game". He was seeing patterns in kids post MMR vax in his clinic, he did studies with other professionals who didnt want to risk their licenses to share their findings.

So he took the data and risked it all, lost his licence and bore the grunt of defamation, labelled anti vax etc

However, a landmark review of 300+ peer-reviewed studies confirms what thousands of parents and Dr. Wakefield tried to show back in 1998 — a link between the MMR vaccine, gut inflammation, and neurodevelopmental regression.

Wakefield never claimed causation. He called for independent investigation.

“The parents were right,” Wakefield said. “Had research continued, the full mechanism would’ve been known years ago.”

McCullough Foundation’s landmark autism report overturns 25 years of lies — and vindicates Dr. Wakefield after decades of attacks for exposing vaccine risks.

LETS DISCUSS THE SALT MYTH !

Somewhere along the way, salt went from sacred to “scary & we’re told it’s the enemy of health". But here’s the real story 👇

Back in the 1960s, a study claimed sodium caused high blood pressure. What most people don’t know? Those test doses were 150 times higher than what a human would ever normally eat.

Still, that’s all it took for the anti-salt movement to begin — and soon doctors were telling everyone to eat “low-salt” diets. The problem? That advice led to a generation of mineral-depleted, common low-stomach-acid & exhausted bodies.

Salt carries minerals, building blocks for your heart, muscles, brain, hormones, and digestion. When mineral levels drop, your body struggles to make enzymes, hydrochloric acid (HCl), and even energy.

🩺 The Medical Paradox - Ever called an ambulance, or been admitted to hospital? First thing they do, hook you up to a normal saline (salt water) bag.

The irony here?..... that same medical system has conditioned us that SALT is bad and to refrain from using salt. I mean, make that make sense.🤔

Even worse, when low stomach acid from mineral deficiency causes reflux or heartburn, people are prescribed acid-blocking drugs (PPIs) that alkalize the stomach further, leading to more digestive problems, gut infections, and long-term nutrient depletion.

My Gastroentrinologist told me 18 months ago, I must have Proton Pump Inhibitor as part of my healing from esophagus cancer despite me saying "I DONT HAVE any acid reflux"... I refused her recommendation of course, but she was merely ticking a box of usual treatment. Crazy isnt it.

Anyway back to the salt, salt isn’t the problem. Processed, refined table salt is.

It’s stripped of all its natural minerals, leaving only sodium chloride — a dead, isolated form that throws off your body’s balance.

Natural salts — like sea salt, or unrefined celtic can contain up to 84 trace minerals. Iron, magnesium, potassium, calcium… the very minerals that keep your cells hydrated, your nerves firing, and your heart steady.

🔥 When You Cut Salt to low, you lose electrolytes, your stomach acid drops, digestion slows, parasites, fungus, and bacteria thrive, and things like fatigue and brain fog increase.

This isn’t because your body hates salt — it’s because it’s starving for the right kind. Root Cause Health Always Comes Back to Balance.

In sunmary, Salt is nature’s mineral delivery system, supporting hydration, cellular function, digestion, and energy production.

The problem was never salt — it was refined salt, processed food, and misinformation.

Choose unrefined, mineral-rich salt from the earth. Listen to your body’s “salt-to-taste” signals and remember — balance heals, not restriction. 🌊✨

🌿DON'T LIVE WITH REGRET 🌿

I frequently hear individuals express regret over not having known about the health options available to them sooner.

Holistic healthcare, root cause healing has a longer history than modern medicine. Its the mainstream acute care model thats been promoted as the only way.

Educating people and sharing ancient wisdom is crucial in addressing the root causes of disease, rather than merely treating symptoms. 💫

Accepting past choices is a necessary part of one's health journey.

Collaborative work with a practitioner can facilitate growth and development and is super powerful.

Working together to explore root cause holistic healthcare options enables you to make informed decisions.

You have the power over your health journey.

One opportunity of open minded thinking can lead to limitless possibilities.

Take your power back today.

Need extra protein & fiber in your diet?

CHICKPEAS are my go-to lately to supplement core areas that my body needs, but also a quick on the go healthy nutritious choice.

Chickpeas are a nutritional powerhouse, offering numerous health benefits. Rich in protein and fiber, they support healthy digestion and help maintain a stable blood sugar level.

Their plant-based protein makes them an excellent choice for vegetarians and vegans, while their high fiber content promotes heart health by lowering cholesterol levels.

Packed with essential vitamins and minerals, such as iron, magnesium, and folate, they contribute to better energy levels and overall well-being.

Dont have tahini? ..........no problem.....I substitute with peanut butter (obviously you need to modify if allergic to nuts).

Here's a recipe I make below which is super popular every time I make it.

1 x can drained and washed chickpeas (or soak your own equivalent overnight).
1 x Heaped teaspoon of peanut butter
Juice of 1 Lemon
Fresh organic basil and mint - to your liking
Pinch of salt, pepper and cumin
2 -3 heaped tablespoons of organic cultured Greek yoghurt.
Optional - small clove of garlic / chilli flakes, olives, pomegranate seeds to dress on top

Blend and start dipping, applying to wraps, lunchboxes or the next party platter! :)

Adding chickpeas to your diet can help you stay fuller longer, add the supplementation of essential minerals, support weight management, and boost overall nutrition!

DID SOMEONE SAY HORMONES?

You know, the pesky little enzymes in our bodies that go on a tangent as we change through different stages of life from childhood to menopausal age.

This great little chart covers the most common offenders and a couple of ideas on foods you can eat to assist. 😊

The 2nd chart shows influences of symptoms and what is occurring around what could be throwing your terrain out of balance.

Think root cause :
How much quality water do I drink ?
Whats does my diet and lifestyle look like ?
How do I manage my stress ?
What things could I change / add.to assist?

Consult with your holistic health professional before taking supplements.

Things to ponder : Sleep well, gets sunshine (take magnesium to supercharge the vit d absorption), stay hydrated, sauna sessions, grounding, walking in nature, red light therapy, meal planing to avoid fast food options etc.

Good choices = better health 🙋‍♀️🙏

🚨 Our Medical System is built for Crisis, Not Complexity.....

Modern medicine excels at saving lives in emergencies. Break bones, have a stroke, appendicitis, infection, it’s fast, efficient, life-saving. Fabulous yes, were grateful.

Why? Because the system was designed around wars, trauma, and infectious disease outbreaks. It’s built on, standard protocols, Drugs and surgeries, fast diagnosis & treatment & being discharged.

This works brilliantly for acute conditions. But it breaks down when it comes to chronic illness like migraines, autoimmune, IBS, arthritis, fatigue, anxiety, these don’t follow simple patterns. These are rooted in stress & nervous system dysregulation, diet & gut health, unprocessed trauma/grief, genetics + environment, poor sleep, burnout, & lack of support.

The system approach is “Here’s a pill.”, “Let’s run a blood test.” or worse, “It’s all in your head.” The “one-size-fits-all doctor” model doesn't work here. GP doctors are trained in Diagnostics, Pharmaceuticals, & symptom management.

They are NOT trained in Root-cause investigation, Trauma-informed care, Nutrition or lifestyles or Nervous system regulation.

You get 10–15 minutes, you're given a label, a script (maybe referred to someone else at your additional cost & time), no time for your story, & no time to connect the dots. The result?

Misdiagnosis or missed diagnosis, Dr to Dr, long-term suffering with no clear answers, symptom-chasing instead of true healing & burnout for doctors, closed books long wait times to see someone initially not to mention frustrated patients

🌱 The future of chronic care should integrate holistic, personalized, and root-cause thinking. It asks What’s this body trying to say?, what patterns are driving this illness? & what support, not just treatment does this person need?

It may include Functional medicine, Somatic + trauma-informed therapy, nervous system regulation, Breathwork, movement, nutrition & lifestyle changes.

Because chronic illness is systemic, not just symptomatic & healing isn't a transaction. Let’s stop forcing complex conditions into an emergency-care mold.

Let’s build a system where healing is possible — not just “managed.” 🌴💫

🌿 NI****NE — Is it the Misunderstood Messenger of Cellular Healing?

For years, ni****ne has been demonised — associated only with addiction and harm, clearly ci******es are off limits, as is commercially sold to***co laden with nasty chemicals etc.

But when we step back and look through a root-cause, cellular healing lens, the story becomes far more interesting. At its core, every cell in your body contains nicotinic receptors — i call them tiny communication hubs that help regulate the nervous system, memory, focus, taste, speech, and even blood sugar. We know the renown Dr Ardis has talked about this a lot the past few years.

During CV19, research showed the spike protein targeted these same receptors, disrupting the body’s ability to communicate and repair itself. Some studies (below) found that small, clean doses of ni****ne (like low-dose patches) helped restore receptor function and relieve long-haul symptoms within days.

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/PMC8025477/
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18295424/

Ni****ne isn’t just a stimulant — it’s actually a plant compound that activates acetylcholine pathways in the brain, improving clarity, focus, and recall. Studies have shown benefits for Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, and cognitive decline when used in its pure, plant form — not the synthetic, chemically altered version found in ci******es with all the rubbish they add to it (to make it addictive).

Nictoine is found naturally in plants like Green tomatoes, (10x more than red ones), Eggplants, Cauliflower, Celery & potatoes. And here’s the truth, Pure, plant-derived ni****ne isn’t addictive. Harvard research confirms it’s the chemical additives in to***co that created dependency — not the compound itself.
https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/news/magazine/fall16-ni****ne-addiction/

When we restore receptor communication, reduce inflammation, and nourish the nervous system — the body begins to repair itself. This is the essence of healing at the cellular level. There are some brands of patches that are natural, and others better than others, always read the ingredients.

👉 This is your invitation to look deeper. Around the world, more people are returning to nature’s original design — exploring how restoring receptor health and cellular intelligence can transform wellbeing.

The results have been nothing short of remarkable. 🌿✨
