Over the past few years, I’ve spent a lot of time observing the health and wellbeing sector from several angles.

First as someone navigating a complex health journey and working with many incredible practitioners to retraining as a health coach providing workplace training to then providing brand strategy, communications and PR to health brands, clinics, practitioners and wellness organisations.
So yes, I’m very immersed in this world with oodles of passion 🤓

One thing has become very clear.
There are so many brilliant practitioners, clinics, organisations and wellness founders doing genuinely life-changing work yet many remain almost invisible in a very crowded space 🫥

Not because their work isn’t good enough.
Not because their results aren’t powerful.
But because visibility is incredibly difficult in a saturated industry.

Health and wellbeing is nuanced. It involves science, emotion, trust and credibility. And for many practitioners, their focus quite rightly sits with helping people, not necessarily with how to position, articulate and amplify their work to the wider world 📣

At the same time, we are living in an era where people are searching for answers more than ever before. Many are navigating chronic symptoms, burnout, menopause or complex health challenges and simply don’t know where to turn ❤️‍🩹

There is a gap here. A big gap between the people doing the work and the people who need to find them.
Therefore after more than two decades in brand visibility, brand strategy and PR, and several years immersed in the world of lifestyle medicine & functional health, I founded Your Catalyst 💡

Helping health and wellbeing brands:

✨clarify their message
✨communicate their expertise with confidence
✨build credibility and trust
✨and ultimately reach the people who need them most

Because when the right work is seen and understood, it has the power to change lives 💫

Do you crave more visibility for your brand?

Many health brands feel lost in the online noise, feeling their social media is not making the impact it should nor reaching their target audience.

As a former health coach who was regularly invited to discuss topics on the BBC, I understand how powerful reach can be. It drives awareness, collaborations and custom. PR is vital to any brand. PR builds reputation, visibility and trust.

The World Health Organization
posted this on .

“Studies from across 185 countries and 36 cancer types reveal there are 30 preventable risk factors driving cancer”

Agreed. There is much we can do to lower cancer risk. It’s not just about genetics 🧬

However, I think WHO should have included chronic stress and trauma. And here’s why👇🏻

Long term chronic stress, trauma and repressed emotions influence biological changes in the body affecting overall health. Long term stress and living in fight/flight mode activates the hormones cortisol and adrenaline, which can disrupt metabolic balance, impair immune function, promote chronic inflammation, alter insulin and s*x hormone regulation (‘bad’ menopause anyone?), disrupts sleep and impact gut health, where 70% of the immune system is. Good quality sleep is essential for the body to repair and good gut health is essential for a healthy immune system, regulating inflammation and promoting healthy nervous system signaling ❤️‍🩹

The mebabolic changes chronic stress causes creates a storm in the body ⚠️

The question is, does chronic stress and trauma alone cause cancer? I’m not a scientist but I’m an avid researcher so I have my own beliefs on this. I also know one size doesn’t fit all as many with chronic stress will not go onto develop cancer. It’s complex.

Also, reduce sugar which cancer feeds on. This deserves a post of its own.

Therefore, follow WHO’s recommendations but also be very mindful of managing and reducing stress ❤️‍🩹

Writing copy for a client about the effect histamine has on the body ✍🏻

As someone with histamine intolerence - btw, this doesn’t mean an intolerance to histamine, it means the body produces too much and can’t always detox it - I wanted to share this 👇🏻

High histamine can often be the result of stress. High histamine food and alcohol are also contributors.
Symptoms include :
😵‍💫 vertigo/brain fog/ head pressure
🚽 gut issues/bloating/diarroea
⚡️anxiety/panic
🫨disassociation
😣itchy skin
❗️flushing/redness
📈 cardiovascular issues/palpitations

How many times have these symptoms been assigned to menopause, anxiety or IBS? Treat with HRT, colonoscopies or antidepressants? I don’t say this lightly but I was all 3….
Until 3 years ago when I discovered the true cause thanks to functional health 💡

Let’s focus on vertigo.
Vertigo is often framed as a mechanical or inner ear issue but the reality for many is it’s a nervous system signal ⚠️
But no one teaches us this

Chronic stress increases histamine which affects many bodily systems including vestibular and brain signalling, which can trigger dizziness, disassociation and vertigo.

This is why some experience sudden brief sensations of tilting or dizziness when lying still. The brain has received a false motion signal due to nervous system overload which causes heightened sensory reactivity 🚤 🎢

Calming the nervous system is not optional, it’s necessary 🙏🏻

Amplifying root cause healing ❤️‍🩹
Writing with lived experience, knowledge and a passion to help others elevate their message of hope and healing in a world where the NHS have limitations to this root cause healing work 🙏🏻

Do you feel like you’re not reaching the people who need you? Do you feel there’s a multitude of other health gurus who seem to get more likes, more attention and ultimately more business?

You see, we know the health & wellness industry is saturated. New clinics, new practitioners, new supplements brands and new health coaches are popping up every day, flooding the internet with their knowledge and offerings.

However, the ones who stand out are the ones who cut through the noise, the ones who invest in their brand. They invest in their reputation as trusted go-to leaders in their field to drive recognition, growth and trust.

Social media posts alone simply don’t generate this trust or recognition. It requires a multi-pronged strategy which is where Your Catalyst comes in 📈 💡

Creativity runs through our veins 💥

Do you know if your cholesterol levels are within range? Maybe you don’t understand the importance of why it’s essential to have your levels checked.

Twelve years ago, aged 42, it was discovered during a routine blood test that my levels were high. I now know I had an early menopause which wasn’t talked about then. Menopause can increase cholesterol levels but there’s many other factors that cause high cholesterol:

⚠️ Smoking
⚠️ Diet high in saturated fats/UPF
⚠️ long term stress
⚠️ Sedentary lifestyle
⚠️ Being overweight
⚠️ Consuming too much alcohol
⚠️ Inflammation
⚠️ Poor detox function (liver)

I wasn’t a smoker but I was sedentary, drank alcohol and experienced chronic stress. It wasn’t apparent because high cholesterol doesn’t cause symptoms, hence why it’s important to understand what role it plays in the body.

However, the body requires some cholesterol to repair cells, to help the body create hormones and vitamin D.
If you are in a chronically stressed state, you may well have high cholesterol as the body produces more cholesterol to repair the inflammation.
It’s all very complex but ultimately as with most health issues, it boils down to addressing lifestyle.

When you have a cholesterol test you’ll receive various serum results :
🩸HDL is good cholesterol
🩸LDL is bad cholesterol
🩸Triglycerides are a type of fat in the blood
🩸Total cholesterol- the NHS states under 5 is acceptable
🩸The triglycerides and HDL ratio gives a good screenshot to determine your risk of heart disease

Yes, it’s complex stuff!

As we age and particularly during and after menopause, it’s essential to support our heart. There’s a very informative book highlighted by .wellbeing this week, A Woman’s Heart by cardiologist doctor Dr Angela Maas.

I’m still on my cholesterol journey and I’ll be having further tests as some high cholesterol can be genetic - familial hypercholesterolaemia or polygenic hypercholesterolaemia.

Knowledge is power which is why I want to highlight this ❤️
