BioKitchen & Nutritional Therapy

11/07/2019

Organic Biokitchen nourishing 'bread' - I make it for my clients. It's a grain-free bread designed for delicate tummies that struggle with conventionally made bread that can cause IBS symptoms, gluten sensitivity, stomach pain, the list is long... It's made with nourishing omega 3 rich seeds, coconut flour and psyllium husk, is low carb, full of flaxseed that loves to balance your hormones and soothe your digestion. It's gluten / dairy / nut / yeast free and vegan, and delicious to boot! Flavours: fennel and caraway, miso and black sesame, turmeric and orange (or just plain is great too). Feel free to PM me with any enqueries (lynn@biokitchen.co.uk)

The value of nutrition is now (happily!) a mainstay in so many people's lives. It's also a confusing field to navigate with so many conflicting opinions professionally, and the internet (qualified or not) coaching you 24/7 on how to eat, how to detox, how to fast and so on... There seems (oftentimes) so much information, where to start? Here's a bit of blurb about my clinic space at St Augustine's in Brighton (a beautiful converted church with health clinic), and how my practice of nutritional therapy can support you.

Choose to have a free full body far infrared light session on a massage table with your consultation (photon therapy, more info in the link) or a free ionic foot bath. Both are pleasantly relaxing and increase antioxidant activity in your body, this is a good thing!

I had to include the stained glass window, it's a very pretty thing to look at whilst discussing your health 🌸

I also work from home with clients (where you can enjoy stunning views of the South Downs! -www.biokitchen.co.uk/about), and nutritionally support kids and families affected by autism at the Children's Centre in Portslade as part of the Mascot Health and Wellbeing Project (a fab inclusive organisation run by fab people! Let me know if you know of anyone who would like to join).

You can PM me with any enquiries, I'd love to hear from you lynn@biokitchen.co.uk

The disgusting reason why supermarket meat displays are always uniformly and unnaturally red and why smart consumers get meat from other sources.

Quick tip: seasonal colds and flus are here already, so don't forget the 10 minute rule for garlic. The simplest trick to maximise allicin content in garlic which supports your immune system and is a fantastic antiviral agent - crush and let it sit for 10 mins. Then use it for cooking, if you put it in your pot straight away you won't reap all the benefits of this heavenly bulb! Thanks Stella at Brainstorm Health X

Zeaxanthin and lutein are types of antioxidants specifically great for eye health (or declining eye health!) Here's another reason to eat kale - 1 cup of raw kale is a whopping 20mg of combined zeaxanthin and lutein which help nourish and protect your eyes. Whereas the famous carrot has 5mg - remember to lightly cook your carrots to max the beta-carotene content X

They might sound like characters from a sci-fi novel, but Lutein and Zeaxanthin (L & Z) are some of the most healthful plant-based antioxidants around. Technically classified as carotenoids, the two are often paired together since they are two of the most powerful nutrients that support eye heal...

To follow on from my previous post, this article explains well why glyphosate is also present in childhood vaccines

Glyphosate, a chemical ingredient found in Monsanto’s Roundup and hundreds of ot...

Given the recent landmark court ruling in USA where glyphosate (chemical found in Monsanto's Roundup herbicide / weedkiller) was the cause of Dewayne Johnson's development of cancer (he is the first person who has won a case like this) - this list of foods with glyphosate residues is pretty disturbing. Many of these are sold in UK and targeted towards children.

Finally, the corporate giant Monsanto, an organization that has hailed itself as the answer to global food shortages and is “working to help farmers grow food more sustainably” has been outed and is currently facing backlash after a near $300 million lawsuit was settled proving that glyphosate, ...

Neurogenesis, growing new brain cells, is happening in your brain right now, and we can actually enhance this process by making smart lifestyle choices.

Kids' brains (and adults) need good fat not sugar, and evidence shows a large number of these cereals are laced with glyphosate herbicide (Monsanto's Roundup) which is listed as a carcinogen.

New data from Public Health England has revealed that children eat half of their daily sugar intake before 9am. Make sure you know how much of the sweet stuff is in their cereal with this handy sugar chart.
