A very kind review that I recieved today:
My wife suffered from chronic fatigue syndrome (ME) for more Than 20 years. Usually it comes with a few weeks of extreme fatigue, joint and muscle pain and brain fog, then lifts again, but is never far away.

Then disaster struck, following a lovely day out in London, it was back again. That was 18 months from this time of writing. Unfortunately, this time the fatigue did not leave after a few weeks. Over the next few weeks and months the energy got less. A visit to the GP was met with “ at your age what do you expect “. Things got worse. We purchased a wheel chair because she could not even walk around a shop . As we were getting reconciled to a lifetime of wheelchair and rollater, we met my wife’s sister in law who mentioned how much Jacqui had helped her.

Our first visit to Jacqui filled my wife with hope and the confidence that she will recover.
Jacqui is exceptionally professional, caring and extremely knowledgeable. My wife took all the tests Jacqui recommended and followed her advice . Nothing dodgy, just good professional sound advice based on science and a deep understanding of how the body works.
From wheelchair to comfortably being able to walk 2.5miles, she is enjoying improved energy levels; probably better than at any time in the past 20 years.

If you suffer ME, or general health issues , speak to Jacqui .

So many people are either using or considering using GLP-1 medication for weight loss, but this is not a long term solution, particularly as we are now beginning to understand the negative effects that this has on bone density, gut motility, digestion etc. Supporting your body's own production of GLP-1 is easier that you would think.

Did you know GLP-1 is a hormone your body makes naturally? 🧬

GLP-1 is released in the gut after you eat. It helps regulate appetite, blood sugar, and how quickly food leaves the stomach.

Meals rich in protein and fiber tend to increase satiety hormones like GLP-1. Walking after meals helps the body handle glucose more efficiently. Regular exercise, good sleep, and limiting ultra-processed foods all support the metabolic pathways that regulate hunger and blood sugar.

These habits are part of the biological foundation that helps your metabolism work the way it was designed to. Which one will you try first?

Why does chronic pain often need more than one type of treatment?

Persistent pain is rarely influenced by just one factor. Muscles, joints, the nervous system, stress, sleep and daily movement patterns can all play a role in how pain develops and continues.

That’s why effective pain management often benefits from a multidisciplinary approach, where different healthcare professionals work together to support different aspects of recovery.

At The Open Practice, our upcoming 8-week Multidisciplinary Pain Management Programme brings together clinicians from several disciplines to provide coordinated, evidence-informed support for people living with persistent pain.

By addressing movement, function, psychological factors and overall wellbeing together, our aim is to help people better understand their pain and build confidence in managing it.

You can learn more about the programme and how to enquire on our website below.

A truly fantastic programme, designed to reduce pain and restore health

Introducing our Multidisciplinary Pain Management Programme!

Living with persistent pain can be incredibly challenging, and it is rarely influenced by just one factor. Influences such as movement, the nervous system, stress, sleep and overall health can all play a role.

At The Open Practice, we’re launching a new 8-week Multidisciplinary Pain Management Programme, designed to support people living with long-term pain through a collaborative approach from clinicians across multiple disciplines.

Following an initial triage assessment, participants receive tailored support from our multidisciplinary team, which may include physiotherapy, ACT and mindfulness approaches, nutritional guidance and other clinical input where appropriate.

Our aim is to help individuals better understand their pain, improve daily function and build confidence in managing their health.

If you’d like to learn more about the programme, including suitability, pricing and how to enquire, please visit the page below:

Women need to tend to their gut health even more as they approach menopause and after it in the postmenopausal period of their lives. Menopause-related estrogen decline reshapes the gut microbiome, reducing beneficial bacteria and increasing inflammation, intestinal permeability, and the risk of metabolic syndrome.

What's the takeaway? Personalized dietary patterns rich in fiber, polyphenols, and healthy fats, such as Mediterranean or plant-forward approaches, can help restore microbial balance and support metabolic health in postmenopausal women.

The new Lancet series pulls together data from over a hundred long-term studies, and the patterns it highlights are hard to ignore. Ultra processed foods disrupt the biological networks that keep us healthy.

The Series shows how UPFs have become dominant in diets across the globe, driven by powerful corporations and political strategies that prioritize profit over health. And it makes an important point, one I deeply agree with: education alone isn’t enough. We need coordinated policies that improve access to real, minimally processed foods and strengthen local food systems.

If we want to change the trajectory of chronic disease, we have to change the food environment that shapes our choices.

This is exactly what I explore in Food Fix, and why I believe this moment matters.

If you want to learn what it will take to rebuild a food system that truly supports human health, drop a YES below and I’ll DM you the link to preorder.
