Searching for the root cause of your symptoms so you can enjoy life again. I am passionate about uncovering the root causes of diseases and empowering clients to take active ownership of their health. My journey into this profession began with my personal health challenges. After being diagnosed with Interstitial Cystitis, a chronic painful bladder condition, I was told there was no cure. Refusing

to accept a life of pain and dependency on painkillers, I embarked on my own research journey. Within a year, I was pain-free. This experience ignited my interest in nutritional medicine. I pursued formal education at the College of Naturopathic Medicine in London, where I spent four years studying and qualified as a BANT Registered Nutritionist. My resolve was further tested when my son developed severe psoriasis, which covered 80% of his body. Conventional treatments offered little more than steroid creams and medications. Using my knowledge and research, together, we sought out the root cause of his condition. Through a personalised nutritional protocol, his skin cleared within six months.�

I am saddened to see clients who have been given no nutritional advice for their symptoms. Prevention is always better than cure. Through my struggles, I learned the profound impact of diet and lifestyle choices on our health. I am committed to helping my clients discover this truth and take charge of their well-being.

Brilliant woodland walk/run on Sunday in aid of St Michael’s Hospice.

Beautiful views, fresh air, and such a lovely way to support an incredible cause.

Thank you Barbara Payne from Digital House for the great company, always makes it even more enjoyable to walk and talk and learn about someone’s business.

And Maxine, you and your team do such a fantastic job. So well organised, with brilliant volunteers guiding us (I would definitely have got lost!) and a very welcome refreshment at the end.

Please do give generously to this wonderful charity. They have to raise a staggering sum of money.

Early strawberries = an early taste of summer

I was quoted in The Times today on this story, which makes it feel even more special.

We love strawberries in our family, we grow them, eat them, freeze them and they are regularly in our yogurt and protein shakes.

This time of year always reminds me of strawberry picking with my children, their little red faces, insisting they hadn’t been “testing” the produce along the way.

Simple moments, but the ones you always remember.

Strawberries are packed with vitamin C, fibre and natural sweetness, one of the easiest ways to support your health.

You’re stood in the supermarket, looking at the price of organic berries… and thinking “I just can’t justify these prices.”

The thing is, it doesn’t have to be all or nothing.

The latest Dirty Dozen and Clean Fifteen lists from Environmental Working Group are actually really helpful here.

Because they give you a way to be strategic.

Not perfect. Strategic.

So instead of feeling like you’re doing it “wrong” if everything isn’t organic…
you can focus your budget where it makes the biggest difference.

Maybe that means:
• going organic for the higher pesticide foods.
• and saving money on the ones that are naturally lower.

This is about reducing your overall load where you can…
not adding more pressure to your plate.

And for everything else?

Give your fruit and veg a proper wash.

Rinse under running water, and for things like apples, cucumbers or peppers, a gentle rub or a soak in water with a little bicarbonate of soda can help remove some surface residues.

It’s not perfect, but it’s another small way to reduce your overall load.

Why do we feel so much better when the sun comes out?

It’s not just psychological, it’s physiological.

Sunlight helps your body produce vitamin D, supporting your immune system, mood, energy and overall health. It also boosts serotonin and helps regulate your sleep.

Brilliant day in London today at Amanda FitzGerald’s event, such a well-run, inspiring afternoon.

And so lovely to catch up with the lovely Rachel Boon.

Sunshine, fresh air, great conversation, and a much-needed vitamin D top-up.

Most of the clients I see are deficient (not surprising in the UK), yet the moment the sun appears, we’re told to cover up, slap on the sunscreen!

Of course we don’t want to burn, but we do need sun exposure.

It’s about balance, not fear.

Sometimes the most powerful things for our health are the simplest.

Your body isn’t broken, it’s revealing how you’ve been treating it.

I’m 55 and i feel great, but it’s taken time to get there.

Time to realise it’s not just about good food, it’s blood sugars balance, it’s quality food, it’s sleep, managing stress, exercise!

Women who feel:
• exhausted
• are gaining weight
• struggling with sleep…

aren’t “broken” or “at the mercy of hormones”.

They’re simply not supporting their body in the way it now needs.

Midlife changes how your body responds to food.

The oestrogen drop changes everything.

You don’t process sugar the same.

You don’t recover from poor sleep the same.

You don’t cope with long gaps between meals the same.

And yet - most people keep doing exactly as thry did at 25. Burning the candle at both ends.

This is where things start to feel harder.

• Energy dips.
• Cravings creep in.
• Weight becomes stubborn.

Not overnight.

But gradually.

What makes the biggest difference isn’t extreme diets, retreats, meditation!

It’s the basics, done well:

• Eating proper meals, with enough protein.

• Keeping blood sugar steady.

• Reducing reliance on ultra-processed foods.

• Actually fuelling your body, not skipping meals.

It’s not about being perfect.

It’s about being consistent.

When you do that, your body feels more stable and safe.

• Energy improves.
• Hunger settles.
• Things start to feel… easier again.

Midlife isn’t the problem.

It just exposes what your body has been trying to tell you for years.

And once you understand that…
everything starts to make a lot more sense.

If you’re feeling this shift and don’t know where to start, this is exactly what I help women with every day.
You don’t have to figure it out on your own.

I’m incredibly proud to share that my daughter has been selected as one of only eight young people to become a Station Manager and Ambassador for the Hampshire Fire Cadets programme.

Last week, she was presented with her new epaulettes by Nigel Atkinson Esq, Lord-Lieutenant of Hampshire, Hampshire Lieutenancy, the personal representative of HM The King. He was so warm and encouraging with all the cadets and their families, and took the time to recognise the commitment it takes to reach this stage. His advice to include this experience on their CVs was spot on.

Her journey to this point has been years of hard work and commitment.

She started as a Fire Cadet in Basingstoke Fire Station, then the next year she successfully applied for Crew Manager following a competitive interview process, before progressing to Watch Manager the following year. In these roles, she supported and mentored the younger cadets (and made lots of friends), helping them develop the same skills and confidence she gained herself.

The Fire Cadets programme offers young people far more than practical skills. It builds confidence, leadership, and responsibility. They also have opportunities to take part in major events such as the VE Day parade in London, as well as supporting local community events across the county.

This has honestly been one of the most valuable experiences of her younger years, and she’s been fortunate to be part of such a supportive and inspiring environment.

She has now jumped at the chance of a role where she can give back and help shape the future of the programme.

A huge thank you to the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service, Firefighters, and volunteers across Hampshire and the Isle of Wight who make opportunities like this possible.

If you have a cadet programme near you I can’t recommend it enough.

A friend of mine was recently called “mutton dressed as lamb.”

Instead of letting it knock her confidence, she turned it into something brilliant.

She’s organising The Mutton March in London, on the 21st March. A walk for women who are done with being told how they should look, dress, or age.

It’s about confidence, humour, and standing proudly in who you are.

I love this idea and I’m proud to be a Muttonista. Anyone want to join me. Xx

Thirty years ago today we got engaged.

A few more grey hairs, the children are all grown up, and he’s still the same wonderful man. I still feel incredibly lucky.

So grateful to have listened to a fascinating lecture by Dr Tina Peers on MCAS (Mast Cell Activation Syndrome)

This is such an under-recognised condition and yet I see so many clients with symptoms that could fit this picture, fatigue, gut issues, allergies, flushing, brain fog, anxiety, hormonal disruption and more.

It was a powerful reminder that when people are told “everything is normal” but still feel unwell, there is always more to explore.

As practitioners, we have a responsibility to keep learning, questioning, and looking deeper, not just treating symptoms, but understanding root causes.

Knowledge like this helps me support my clients better every single day.
