Let's talk BLACK SEED OIL... Part 2 🖤🛡️
IMMUNITY

Winter is coming. Cold and flu season is here. Everyone's getting sick.

BLACK SEED OIL is your defence...💪

Here's what it does:

Boosts immune cell activity (strengthens your body's natural defence system)

Powerful antimicrobial properties (fights bacteria, viruses, and fungi)

Rich in antioxidants (protects cells from damage during stress)

Supports respiratory health (keeps your lungs strong when everyone's coughing)

The active compound - thymoquinone - is what makes it so effective. Research shows it significantly enhances immune response.

Studies have shown BLACK SEED OIL can increase natural killer cell activity by up to 72% - these are the cells that directly attack viruses and abnormal cells in your body.

This isn't about never getting sick. It's about giving your body the strongest possible defence when exposure is constant!

Let's talk Black Seed Oil... Part 1 🖤

"If you could only take ONE supplement, what would it be?"

Black Seed Oil.....Easy.

I run a Health & Wellness Store. I'm around supplements and superfoods all day. This is the only one I actually panic without.

Between running our Wellness Hub 7 days a week, family health stuff, and trying to stay functional, I need things that work. Not hype.

Just results....
BLACK SEED OIL WORKS 💪

It's been used for over 3,000 years. Called "The Seed of Blessing" 🖤 and in some cultures "A Cure for Everything but Death."

That's not a tagline - that's thousands of years of proof.

This week, I'm breaking down exactly why this is my non-negotiable. One benefit at a time.

Tomorrow: Part 2 - Why this is my go-to for Immunity heading into winter 🖤🛡️

Some days, self-care looks like elaborate rituals. Other days? It's making sure I actually eat something nourishing. This is my 'I showed up today' bowl.

Life's been demanding lately, and I've learned that when everything feels like too much, going back to basics matters. Real food. Simple ingredients. Things that actually fuel you.

When I get to work every morning lately, our best seller has become my daily must.
What's in Soul in a Bowl (and why it matters right now):

🥣 Natural Greek yoghurt - Protein to keep me steady when energy is scarce, plus gut health when stress wants to wreck everything

🌾 Homemade organic granola - Slow-release energy that doesn't crash (because I can't afford to crash)

The Granola Blend:

🌰 Brazil nuts - Selenium for my mood and thyroid when stress is high

🌰 Walnuts - Omega-3s for brain fog and keeping anxiety in check

🌰 Almonds - Magnesium for when my body is holding all the tension

🌻 Pumpkin & sunflower seeds - Zinc and vitamin E for immunity I can't let slip

✨ Chia seeds - Sustained energy and omega-3s when I'm running on empty

🍇 Raisins & cranberries - Natural sweetness plus antioxidants for resilience

🍓 Fresh berries & seasonal fruit - Vitamin C and antioxidants because my immune system needs all the help

Optional: Nut butter for extra protein, honey, or date syrup for that gentle energy lift

It's called Soul in a Bowl for a reason. It's a meal in itself - a big portion of pure goodness when you need something that actually holds you.

Sometimes, the most healing thing is letting someone else nourish you.

Served daily, 7 days a week at our Hertford Cafe.

✨️🤍 This photo was taken earlier this year.....one of those rare moments where we actually stopped.

The last couple of months have been incredibly hard. My dad has been very ill, endless hospital visits, worry, and sleepless nights. And then, two weeks ago, Gary had a heart attack.

He's healing. He's strong. And the love from this community has carried us more than you know.

We pour everything into Soul Seed. Our hearts. Our time. Our energy. We show up because we believe in what we do, and we believe in you.
But the truth is... it takes a toll.

Running a small business in this economy is relentless. The early mornings, the late nights, the constant learning, so we can bring you the best. We give because we love it.... but sometimes we forget to save some for ourselves.

We've been quieter on here lately. Now you know why 🤍

We're not sharing this for sympathy. We are sharing it because Soul Seed has always stood for truth. And this is ours right now 🙏✨️

To everyone who has sent messages, checked in, visited the shop, thank you 🤍

You've reminded us why we do this. You ARE why we do this.

Gary is recovering. Dad is fighting. And we're taking it one day at a time.

Look after yourselves. Please. The people who love you need you here 💚

With all our hearts,
Sara & Gary x

We’re closed tomorrow (Monday) for some essential maintenance, but back open as normal from 9am Tuesday 🌿

Thank you all so much for the incredible kindness over the last week. The messages, cards, gifts, and well-wishes for Gary have meant the world to us. Your support has carried us through a very scary time, and we feel so grateful for this community 🤍

Gary is continuing to rest and recover, and he’ll be back doing consultations towards the end of the week. We’ll also announce the new date for the Detox Workshop very soon after we had to postpone it following his heart attack.

Thank you for your patience, your loyalty, and for standing with us through every season.
We can’t wait to welcome you back on Tuesday ✨

🌿 Stent Recovery Nutrition Update: Fueling the Body to Heal

Today, Gary shares what he ate and why, through the lens of both his own recovery and his years of experience as a qualified nutritionist.

Right now, we are keeping things clean, simple, and deeply nourishing. When the body is healing, essential nutrition becomes non-negotiable. Every meal matters… for the heart, the immune system, and overall function.

Thank you for following this journey with us and for supporting Gary while he rebuilds his strength from the inside out 🤍

🌿 Recovery Update — Day by Day, Truthfully & Transparently

Today, Gary shares how he’s feeling physically and emotionally and opens up about the medications he’s been placed on following his procedure.

For over 10 years he’s supported his heart health naturally — through nutrition, movement, supplements, and lifestyle. Being put on multiple medications has brought up big conversations, especially around their potential long-term side effects and what this means for him going forward.

Gary is committed to doing everything he can nutritionally and holistically to support his body so that, under medical guidance, he can aim to reduce what he doesn’t need in the long term.

This chapter will be documented honestly — the highs, the fears, the science, and the steps he’s taking to recover naturally alongside conventional care.

Thank you for every comment or message, Gary has read every one of them, and it means the world 🤍

Daily (or every-other-day) updates are coming✨️🙏

Sara & Gary 🤍











14/11/2025

🤍 A heartfelt update from Gary…
He’s home, resting, and recovering after having a stent fitted — and we can’t thank you enough for the love, prayers, and kindness you’ve sent our way.

In this video, Gary wanted to speak to you directly. It’s emotional, it’s real, and it means everything to us that we have a community who truly cares.

A huge and heartfelt thank you to for their fast testing, quick results, and outstanding care. You made an overwhelming moment feel safe and supported.🙏🙏

Gary will be blogging his sharing, his lessons, and his gratitude as he heals.

Thank you for standing with us through every chapter 🤍

Sara & Gary 🙏✨️

What a lovely idea, SoulSeed Cafe on Parliament Square have introduced a “Giving Tree” on the counter with the aim of spreading a little kindness 😃

Basically you can buy a drink, cake or meal .. Then place your gift on the tree with a positive message .. Your gift of kindness can be redeemed by somone in need at a later date ❤️

I’ve never seen this concept before but thought really nice, so wanted to share. I gifed a nice piece of cake on I Love Hertford 🍰

Hope this lovely idea catches on 😃 The sign says “Kindness Grows Here” and yep I think that’s very true 👏❤️👍

💚 The Soulful Giving Tree — where kindness grows 💚

This season, we wanted to give something back to our local community.

Our customers can now purchase a Giving Tree token — for a hot drink, a nourishing meal, a slice of cake, or even a product that someone might need.
Each token becomes a small act of love, waiting on our tree for someone who just needs that little extra hand —

✨ a warm drink,
✨ a wholesome meal,
✨ a safe, friendly space,
✨ and a reminder they’re not alone.

Here’s how you can help kindness grow 👇

🌿 Pop in and leave a gift on our tree — buy a token and write your message of love.

🌿 Or tag someone below — maybe to encourage them to join in,
or maybe because you know they could use a little lift right now.

Either way, every tag helps kindness find its way to the right heart. 💚

Together, we can make sure no one in our community goes without warmth, food, or connection this winter.

💚 Your body isn’t against you, it’s waiting for your support.

Your body is always working for you, not against you. 💚
Even when it feels tired, bloated, inflamed, or off balance… it’s not broken, it’s communicating.

Every symptom is a signal, your body’s way of asking for help, not silence.
And that support doesn’t come from doing more, it comes from doing right.

From slowing down enough to listen.
From resting when you need to.
From nourishing instead of numbing.
From hydrating instead of pushing through. 🌿

Healing isn’t about chasing control, it’s about building trust.
Trust that your body wants balance.
Trust that it knows how to heal when you create the right environment.
Trust that even small changes like better sleep, real food, and less stress add up faster than you think.

Be gentle with yourself, you don’t need to fix everything overnight.
✨ Just take one step.
One nourishing meal, one boundary, one deeper breath.

Your body wants to heal, it just needs your trust, time, and daily care to get there. 🌱
