💧 What’s Really Lurking in Your Water?

Most of us know we should be drinking more water, but have you ever thought about what’s actually in the water that you are drinking? 👀

What most don't know is that tap water and bottled water can contain loads of impurities, chemicals, and heavy metals that you and your kid's bodies have to work overtime to process and eliminate. I know how significant these effects can be on our health and that’s why, over the past 10 years, I’ve chosen to use Zazen Water Filters in my clinics and my home.

These water filtration systems emulate Mother Nature’s water cycle, filtering out toxins and replenishing your water with alkaline minerals that hydrate at a cellular level.

This filtration system removes up to:
• Fluoride (up to 90%)
• Microplastics & Nanoplastics (down to 0.2μm)
• PFAS (Forever Chemicals) (>99.98%)
• Chlorine & Chloramine (>99.98%)
• Heavy Metals (>99.98%) – including Lead, Iron, Arsenic & Aluminium
• Copper (>99.98%)
• Bacteria - E.Coli, Salmonella & Klebsiella plus Guardia (99.99%)
• pH: 7.4 – 8.5

✨ The result? Better energy, clearer thinking, improved immune function, and a taste your body actually craves.

We’re running a very special deal this November!

👉 Pop into the clinic or send us a message to find out more and make sure you and your family are drinking the best possible water this summer.

Your body is a sponge, and when it dries out, things start to feel tight and uncomfortable. Dehydration directly impacts your mobility, making your muscles feel uncomfortably tight and your joints noticeably stiffer. The key area to protect is your spine: the spongy, protective discs between your vertebrae are composed of approximately 80% water! When you’re dehydrated, these discs lose volume and their ability to cushion effectively.

To keep your entire body, from your hamstrings to your hinges, flexible and functioning, make it a habit to drink 2–3 liters of water every day. For active individuals, incorporating electrolytes is a smart move to boost absorption. Prioritize your hydration; your spine will thank you!

💧 Dive deeper into the science of hydration and discover why your spinal discs need water to stay plump, healthy, and happy.

Set your desk up for success, your body will thank you later.

A well-designed workspace isn’t just about productivity; it’s about protecting your body from pain, stiffness, and fatigue that build up over time.

💻 Keep your screen mid-eye level so your neck stays neutral.
🪑 Sit with your feet flat on the floor and your hips and knees at a 90° angle.
💪 Keep your elbows close to your sides to support your shoulders and wrists.

Small ergonomic adjustments can make a big difference in how you feel at the end of the day.

Your nervous system holds on to tension long after stressful moments have passed, even when your mind has already moved on. This can show up as tight shoulders, shallow breathing, or that subtle restlessness you can’t quite shake.

Take five minutes today to reset. Lie down flat, breathe slowly into your belly, and let your shoulders melt into the floor. With each breath, allow your body to soften a little more.🧘‍♀️

These slow, deep breaths tell your nervous system that you are safe, helping to release tightness you didn’t even realise you were carrying.

Inflammation doesn’t just come from injury, it’s also fueled by stress, poor sleep, and processed foods. When your body is under constant pressure, it stays in a low-grade inflammatory state that can leave you feeling stiff, tired, and foggy.

The good news? You can support recovery naturally through what you eat. Adding anti-inflammatory foods like turmeric, pineapple, berries, leafy greens, and healthy fats can make a powerful difference. Try blending an anti-inflammatory smoothie to give your joints and cells a daily boost of nourishment and repair from the inside out.

So many women over 40 find themselves exhausted, running on coffee and carbs, forgetting simple things like words or names, or feeling like they have totally lost the plot.

The tricky part is that burnout, perimenopause, and depression often show up with the same symptoms. Annoying things like brain fog, low mood, poor sleep, and that relentless tiredness that just will not budge, no matter how much you rest.

But here is what most people do not realise…
These conditions do not just overlap in their symptoms. They often stem from the same underlying causes.

Long term stress, hormonal changes, unresolved trauma, and chronic inflammation are all part of the picture. But the stories we tell ourselves and the beliefs we pick up along the way, often from childhood, can quietly drive these struggles even further.

Many women in this stage of life find themselves thinking:
🏃‍♀️‍➡️ “I don’t have time to stop, I just have to keep going.”
Believing you don’t have time to stop often keeps you stuck in survival mode, and makes it hard to rest or ask for help.

🧑‍🧑‍🧒‍🧒 “I need to look after everyone else first.”
Caring for others becomes second nature, and your own wellbeing slips to the bottom of the list. Self care and boundaries feel selfish, even when you are running on empty.

⏳ “It’s just part of getting older.”
It is easy to chalk up exhaustion, brain fog, or low mood to age, so you keep soldiering on instead of reaching out for the support you deserve.

These beliefs, stories, and patterns do not just affect how you feel. They can actually keep you stuck in a cycle of exhaustion and self blame.

The good news is that the path to feeling better does not have to be complicated or overwhelming.

Simple, sustainable lifestyle changes like prioritising quality sleep, gentle movement, nourishing food, and real downtime can help your body, mind, and nervous system find balance again.
But here is the thing. The physical side is only part of the puzzle.

When I went through burnout a few years ago, I realised firsthand that true recovery takes more than just physical changes. For lasting change, those unhelpful beliefs and patterns that led to burnout in the first place need to be resolved.

When you start to shift your habits, beliefs, and the stories you tell yourself, your energy, mood, and confidence can truly transform. It is about giving yourself permission to rest, set boundaries, and actually put your needs on the list without guilt. Because you can’t give from an empty cup.

If you are ready to break the cycle, fill up your cup and feel like yourself again, you are not alone and you do not have to figure it out by yourself.

My next 12 week Burnout Recovery Program is starting soon. It is designed to help you address these overlaps at the root and build practical strategies for real, lasting change. We kick off on Monday and there is still time to join.
