Stress is the body’s fight or flight reaction to recognise threats. It activates the hypothalamus and releases adrenaline and cortisol, these hormones raise blood glucose on purpose, you need fuel to fight or run.

But when stress stays switched on, blood sugar and insulin stay elevated which over time can drive visceral fat gain, insulin resistance and inflammation.

At Combe Grove we provide clients with the tools and strategies to better manage stress for optimal metabolic health.

In the spirit of Valentine’s Day, our experts explored how kissing can be beneficial for your metabolic wellbeing.⁠
⁠
Kissing has many positive benefits for your metabolic health.⁠
⁠
-Reduces the stress hormone cortisol which can have an impact on blood glucose regulation.⁠
-Supports cardiovascular health by reducing blood pressure and improving circulation.⁠
-Increases serotonin for mood regulation.⁠
-Improves alertness and cognitive function by stimulating adrenaline and oxygen to the brain.⁠
-Releases dopamine, the happy hormone.⁠
⁠
⁠
Happy Valentine's Day!⁠

Why do so many modern health conditions cluster together?⁠
And why does weight loss rarely address the root cause?⁠
⁠
In Why We Get Sick, metabolic researcher Dr Benjamin Bikman offers a clear, compassionate explanation of insulin resistance as a shared underlying driver behind many chronic conditions from type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease to PCOS, fatty liver and cognitive decline.⁠
⁠
What makes this book stand out is its systems based perspective. Rather than focusing on weight loss or quick fixes, Bikman connects:⁠
⁠
• modern lifestyles⁠
• chronic inflammation⁠
• hormonal signalling⁠
• and metabolic dysfunction⁠
⁠
into a bigger picture of why the body adapts the way it does.⁠
⁠
The tone is educational rather than prescriptive. This isn’t a book about blame or control, it’s about understanding the body’s responses to modern living and why supporting metabolic health requires more than calorie counting.⁠
⁠
At Combe Grove, we value resources that build awareness before action.⁠
This book does exactly that, helping readers move from frustration to understanding and from symptom chasing to root cause thinking.⁠
⁠
Recommended for anyone curious about metabolic health, chronic conditions and how lifestyle shapes long term wellbeing, without focusing on weight loss as the goal.

An exciting new addition coming to the Map Room Menu. These nourishing sausage rolls are low in carbohydrate and rich in quality protein. Visit us in the Map Room or try making them at home using this recipe.⁠
⁠
Makes 12⁠
⁠
400g of sausage meat⁠
1 egg yolk, beaten, to glaze⁠
1 tbsp sesame seeds (optional)⁠
Tbsp of herbs⁠
⁠
For the pastry⁠
⁠
130g ground almonds⁠
1tsp of baking powder⁠
Pinch of salt⁠
30g butter or lard, softened⁠
1 egg⁠
⁠
Per serving, 2 rolls⁠
2.8g of carbohydrate⁠
9.4g of protein⁠
⁠
Preheat the oven to 200 degrees/180 degrees fan/gas mark 6 and cut two pieces of baking paper the same size as a large baking tray.⁠
⁠
Mix the dry ingredients together for the pastry. Add the butter and egg and mix to form a smooth, well blended dough. Use your hands to gather it into a ball and remove it from the bowl. Divide the pastry in half and gently roll each half into a sausage shape.⁠
⁠
Place the dough sausages on one piece of baking paper about 10cm apart. Lay the other piece of baking paper on top and roll the dough into two long, thin rectangles. Cut and move pieces of pastry to form two rectangles about 30 x 12cm and 3mm thick.⁠
⁠
Squeeze the meat into a bowl and mix in the herbs. Using a spoon lay three sausages along the centre of each of the dough rectangles. Some sausages are shorter or fatter than others, but you can squeeze or stretch the sausage meat out to fir the length. Use the parchment to roll up the dough to cover the sausages. Trim the edges as necessary. Cut each roll into six pieces. Use one piece of baking paper to line the baking tray. Lift the sausage rolls on to the prepared tray and brush with the egg yolk. Scatter over the sesame seeds. Bake for 20 minutes until the pastry is golden brown.⁠
⁠
Serve warm or at room temperature. Once cooled, they will keep a container in the fridge for up to three days or freeze for up to three months.

Metabolic Health describes the internal workings of your body’s engine and refers to the overall state of various metabolic processes within the body, including those related to energy, how it is used and how it is stored.⁠
⁠
Good metabolic health supports optimised energy levels, sleep quality, weight management, immunity and also enhances longevity.⁠
⁠
Metabolic health is for everyone. It’s never too late to make improvements.⁠
⁠
To learn more about metabolic health and how to improve your wellbeing, join us for our next Health Reset Day on February 27th! Book now on our website!

Movement isn’t just about energy expenditure, it’s about sending signals to the body.⁠
⁠
Strength-based movement:⁠
⁠
• improves insulin sensitivity⁠
• encourages glucose to be used in muscle, rather than fat⁠
• preserves metabolic health as we age, through muscle development⁠
⁠
Even small amounts of resistance training, bodyweight, resistance bands or light weights, create powerful metabolic benefits when practiced consistently.⁠
⁠
At Combe Grove, we focus on functional strength, balance and movement that supports daily life and long term vitality.⁠

Muscle is not just for strength, it’s one of the most powerful tools for metabolic health.⁠
⁠
Skeletal muscle acts as a primary site for glucose uptake, helping regulate blood sugar, insulin sensitivity and long-term metabolic resilience. ⁠
⁠
Beyond the age of 30, our muscle mass begins to decline, it is important that we take steps to support muscle growth. ⁠
⁠
As we age, preserving and building muscle and preventing sarcopenia (muscle depletion) is vital to support:⁠
⁠
• stable energy levels⁠
• improved glucose control⁠
• reduced risk of metabolic disease such as type 2 diabetes, heart disease, dementia, Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, cancers and other non-communicable diseases which are driven by inflammation.⁠
⁠
Building and maintaining muscle requires us to feed our bodies with adequate protein (the building blocks of muscle) and also to strength train our muscles to grow them. ⁠
⁠
This is part of the Movement Root.⁠
⁠
At Combe Grove, Movement is not about intensity, it’s about creating strength that supports health for life.⁠
