HTMA (Hair) analysis is a commonly misinterpreted test and is really ONLY good for qualifying HEAVY METALS analysis and NOT food intolerances which cannot be determined from a test, but rather symptomology that accompanies that food in question WHEN eaten.

A high IgG reading to certain foods does not reliably mean you are “sensitive” or intolerant to that food. In most cases, food-specific Immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies indicate that your immune system has been exposed to that food possibly a food you eat A LOT of and may even reflect normal tolerance, not a harmful reaction.

Key distinction: IgG vs IgE

IgE antibodies are associated with true immediate food allergies (hives, swelling, anaphylaxis).

IgG antibodies often rise simply because you eat a food regularly.
What high food IgG may mean

A high IgG to foods like wheat, egg, dairy, etc. can reflect:

Frequent consumption of that food
Normal immune recognition/tolerance
Sometimes increased exposure through a more permeable gut barrier (theory, but not diagnostic)
It does not prove the food is causing symptoms

IgA is the point of reference if the IgG levels are very high which would suggest a gut barrier dysfunction NOT a food intolerance.

Immunoglobulin A (IgA) is a type of antibody found in your mucous membranes and body fluids. It’s mostly found in your digestive and respiratory tracts. It protects you from germs and toxins by preventing them from entering your cells, trapping them in mucus and moving them out of your body.

Immunoglobulin A (IgA) is an antibody important for mucosal immunity (gut, respiratory tract, saliva).

Low or abnormal IgA can sometimes be associated with conditions that indirectly affect mineral status:

recurrent gut infections
chronic gut inflammation
malabsorption syndromes
autoimmune gut disease
altered microbiome balance

These may reduce absorption of minerals like:

Iron
Zinc
Magnesium
Calcium

As clearly articulated the process all falls back onto the PERMEABILITY of the gut NOT the levels found in a hair analysis for foods and minerals.

So if you have had a Hair Mineral Analysis and the list of food and minerals as long as your arm i would NOT be assuming you are INTOLERANT to all of these foods.........and start analysing if the list is inclusive of a lot of food you consume often.

Allergy, Intolerance and Vitamin/Mineral or hormone levels are all better quantified via serum(blood) or stool testing so the RIGHT Immunoglobulins are correctly and accurately tested.

Chronic high cortisol, often caused by stress, directly damages the liver by promoting fat accumulation (non-alcoholic fatty liver disease/MASLD), causing inflammation, and triggering insulin resistance. Cortisol triggers the liver to release glucose for energy, but excessive levels disrupt metabolism, causing fat buildup.

Its so often that people reach for the stress resilience herbs only when treating stress, however treating your liver is an ESSENTIAL step in creating the clearance needed of excessive cortisol production which cascades to metabolic dysfunction...... in order to regulate the correct metabolism and rhythmic patterns to return the body to health.

A number of incredible herbs such as Silybum marianum or Taraxacum officinale are integril to achieving regulation more fluidily with the least amount of pressure by addressing all systems involved in disease.

Based on the available literature, non alcoholic fatty liver disease or generally speaking, hepatic steatosis, is more frequent among people with diabetes and obesity, and is almost universally present amongst morbidly obese diabetic patients. Non ...

A very undervalued supplement with a view its only linked to weight training and body builders but this supplement has HUGE benefits for all types of people.

Creatine supplementation may help manage chronic stress and reduce cortisol levels by supporting cellular energy, particularly during high-intensity exercise or sleep deprivation. Research suggests it lowers cortisol, a key stress hormone, and supports brain energy metabolism, potentially alleviating mental fatigue and enhancing stress resilience.

How It Works:
Creatine increases phosphocreatine stores in cells, allowing faster regeneration of ATP (adenosine triphosphate), the primary energy source. This improved energy efficiency reduces the metabolic strain caused by stress, thereby lowering the body's need to produce excess cortisol.

There is emerging interest regarding the potential beneficial effects of creatine supplementation on indices of brain health and function. Creatine supplementation can increase brain creatine stores, which may help explain some of the positive ...

Playing with different combinations is one of my favourite things to do.......today i went my asian style of cooking.

Not only in variety of each, all types of foods in the nutrient profile are broadly spread over a week........ you are giving your body exactly what it needs at that time there is no overloading of EVERY nutrient just so you cover the bases because FRANKLY our bodies respond to targeted health for short periods rather than flooding the system.

Very much like a garden you would drown your plants if the hose was on all the time!!!

Combining extra lean beef mince patties, bok choy, brussels sprouts, and potato creates a highly nutritious, balanced meal that supports muscle maintenance, immunity, and sustained energy. This combination offers a high-protein, fiber-rich, and vitamin-packed profile, particularly high in iron, zinc, and vitamin K

Nutritional Synergies

Boosted Iron Absorption:
The Vitamin C in bok choy and brussels sprouts enhances the absorption of the non-haem iron in the vegetables, while the beef provides highly absorbable haem iron.

Balanced Meal:
This combination offers a complete balance of protein (beef), complex carbs (potato), and fiber/micronutrients (greens)

Does your food pairing, timing and metabolic effect matter???..........................................................................
Sulfation metabolism is a key Phase II detoxification process in the body that uses inorganic sulfate to detoxify drugs, hormones, and xenobiotics, primarily occurring in the liver.

Sulfation is not merely a detoxification mechanism but a dynamic control system that influences steroid action, lipid handling, and the overall metabolic fate of various lipophilic signaling molecules.

The process relies on a steady intake of dietary sulfur, which the body converts into sulfate.

The foods that most significantly contribute to sulfation metabolism by providing high levels of sulfur (methionine, cysteine, and sulfate) include:

1. High-Protein Animal Foods (Rich in Methionine & Cysteine)

Eggs: Especially the yolk.

Red Meat: Beef, lamb, and pork.

Poultry: Chicken and turkey.

Fish and Seafood:
Salmon, tuna, sardines, and shellfish.

Dairy Products:
Milk, cheese (especially cheddar and parmesan), and yogurt.

Bone Broth.

2. Allium Vegetables (Rich in Organosulfur Compounds)

These vegetables are among the highest sources of dietary sulfur, containing compounds like sulfoxides.

Garlic
Onions
Leeks
Shallots
Chives

3. Cruciferous Vegetables (Rich in Glucosinolates)

These are high in sulfate and sulfur compounds that support detoxification enzymes.

Broccoli
Brussels sprouts
Cabbage (red and white)
Kale
Arugula
Radishes
Cauliflower

Other Sulfur-Supporting Foods

Legumes:
Chickpeas, lentils, black beans, soy, and peanuts.

Nuts and Seeds:
Walnuts, almonds, and sunflower seeds.

Whole Grains:
Oats, wheat, and barley.

Fermented Foods and Beverages:
Wine, beer, and cider often contain high amounts of sulfites, a form of sulfur used for preservation.

Dried Fruits:
Apricots, raisins, and prunes

Most women quit right here.

Right before it’s about to happen.
The scale hasn’t budged.
Your jeans fit the same.
And you’re convinced this is just another thing that didn’t work.

But your body doesn’t work on your timeline. And there are signs it’s getting ready to make a shift if you know what to look for.

1. You’re not as hungry between meals.
Your blood sugar is stabilizing. Your protein is doing its job. You’re not white-knuckling it to lunch anymore. That’s your metabolism starting to trust you again.

2. You’re sleeping better.
When your nutrition is dialed in and your body isn’t stressed from under-eating, sleep improves. Better sleep = more fat burning. Period.

3. Your clothes fit a little different.
The scale might say the same number. But your waistband is looser. Your face looks leaner. That’s body recomposition. You’re losing fat and holding muscle. The scale can’t tell you that.

4. Your energy is more consistent.
No more 2pm crash. No more needing caffeine to function after lunch. When your body is properly fueled, it stops running on fumes. That’s a sign things are shifting.

5. Your cravings have calmed down.
You can walk past the lollie jar at work and not think twice. You’re not obsessing over the pantry after dinner. That’s not willpower. That’s your hormones and blood sugar finally regulated because you’re eating enough of the right stuff.

Here’s the thing…

These signs don’t show up on a scale. They don’t make for a dramatic before and after. But they are your body telling you to keep going. Don’t change a damn thing.

You don’t need to do everything perfectly. You just need to stop quitting when it feels like nothing is happening. Because something is!!!!!
