These women have seen me at my best and worst through medical school, work, new partners and old, loss and change. Three decades of love, companionship and joy. Women who know each other so well that there’s no need to explain. Life is here for this.

And why am I - as a doctor sharing this on my work insta? Well because I will show up for you as a doctor as authentically as possible. As my whole self. I too experience the highs and lows of a health journey and will remind you gently of what you need your good health for. To love and live in joy.

We also know that the friends you have at 50 years of age dictate your friendship groups when you are 80. So here is to many more years of companionship.

Health is love, connection and laughter. Remembering and being loved for who you have been as a 20 year old as well as a nearly 50 year old is a privilege. Thank you ladies. Shame we didn’t finish the treasure hunt around London but we were too busy eating and laughing.

Trauma. It’s sits deep. Wraps itself around our DNA. integrating slowly. Gripping. Switching pathways on and off. Deep coding changed by what we have witnessed and experienced as children and young adults.

And this shows up later. Slowly. Maybe with that long standing weight gain that never goes away. The persistent desire to see through tasks to perfection and not just completion. That chronic disease diagnosis that may be devastating and yet a ‘total surprise’.

It’s why I say that ACEs and trauma are part of the soil of our house.Together with genetics; structural. Rooted. But it doesn’t mean it’s unchangeable. We just need awareness. Slowly slowly we befriend it. And sit with it. And one day it can release us from its spiky hold. Release us from that specific coded health trajectory.

Today that’s exactly what happened. My patient who has been travelling through a profound metabolic health journey realised. She woke up and knew that this part of her - and please know many of my patients are very trauma aware but may not have the tools to manage it. She suddenly knew that her trauma was her younger self showing up and keeping her safe - and this was critical. She had therapy for years by this point.

And today. We talked to that childlike version of herself and she knew she had to write to her. Write a long letter of love. And amends and gratitude. For all that ‘little her’ had done to get big ‘her’ here. And even as she said this to me in the consult she told me how the grapple hold of anxiety, of tightness in her chest had begun to loosen. She felt and looked lighter. Less haunted.

And so her metabolic journey had truly begun. I feel honoured to hold this space for people. True healing. Sustained health. Informed and educated patients - women who are back in the drivers seat of their health.

✨ Still buzzing from an incredible 24 hours at in Lausanne ✨

A space filled with powerhouse women — scientists, clinicians, entrepreneurs, and visionaries — all exploring what it really means to live long and live well as a woman. And some of the most passionate brands featured as sponsors. Yes that is me having an AI created back massage!!

We spoke about longevity, hormones, metabolism, energy, purpose, and everything in between — but most of all, we shared a collective commitment to change the narrative around women’s health and ageing.

It was inspiring, challenging, and deeply grounding all at once. I was honoured to be speaking on ‘Decoding female hormones’ followed by a panel discussion with .favre - not a small subject and certainly one that is still poorly understood. It’s interesting that wherever I go - the questions women have are the same and raising understanding is more important now than ever before.

I’m coming home with a full heart, a sharper mind, and a renewed sense of purpose for the work we’re doing at Human Health and .professionals — helping women understand their biology, optimise their healthspan, and truly thrive at every stage of life. And excitingly helping practitioners deliver this approach too.

Thank you for creating such a powerful global space — and to every incredible woman I met, your energy and wisdom will stay with me. Remember you have full agency over your body and this life is for thriving in.

This journey of being a doctor in the functional medicine space can be hard.
Nay-sayers. Raised eyebrows. The angry question from the audience:

❓ “Why are you doing this kind of medicine?”

What I think they are really asking me is:
“Why have you turned your back on allopathic medicine? Why are you doing it differently?”

So here’s my answer.

I am a traditionally trained surgeon who left the NHS, walked those dark wilderness years — scared and uncertain — before finally feeling like I’d come home to real medicine.

Because I knew what I was doing was no longer enough.

All that beautiful cellular science I had learnt in medical school… forgotten. Forsaken for rushed consultations, singular lab tests, binary decisions. Fear-based thinking.

I wasn’t seeing my patients in their wholeness — mental, physical, spiritual.

So I looked at myself. At how I was practicing. Slowly, I created a plan. Refined it. Dared to call it a methodology.

And then my patients validated it — again and again.

Last week, one patient — at the end of part of a long metabolic health journey — sent me a reading from her tarot cards.
Her spirituality has been a powerful part of her recovery.

She’s supported, seen, and in control of her health. And feels confident enough to send these images to her medical doctor.
And I feel privileged to walk this path with her.

💛 This is why I do what I do.
This is why I will keep showing up. I will always meet you where you are and understand the whole of you

Do you feel heard in your relationship with your clinician? Share with me how you we can help you feel validated in your health choices.

Teeth + Menopause = Who Knew?! (well I did but still didn’t think it could affect me …).

Ok, big shocker a couple of weeks ago. I went to the dentist feeling pretty smug - nearly 50, never had a filling, always brushed well twice a day (ok haven’t been a flosser) … and then got told I’ve got periodontal inflammation. 😳

Honestly, I was horrified. I’ve always taken my dental health seriously. But then he (kind of) explained it: hormones. Yep, peri-menopause strikes again. Our gums are affected too.

And here’s the thing I should have joined the dots on (bit of a facepalm moment): your mouth is the entry point to your gut. If there’s inflammation in your gums, there’s inflammation in your body.

A paper published last month in the European Heart Journal describes how treating gum disease can improve endothelial function, which is tied to heart health. (Link in comments).

So, I’ve gone back to basics:
✨ Proper electric toothbrush (I’d got lazy with this).
✨ Biomimetic hydroxyapatite toothpaste to really support my enamel. Fluoride free.
✨ It’s also postbiotic containing to support my mouth’s natural microbiome. (not a paid for ad btw! I genuinely love what they are doing in this space).
✨ And yes… flossing. Every day. Bleeding gums anywhere is a red flag.

This was such a wake-up call for me. Even when you “know better,” life gets in the way. But menopause reminds us we can’t ignore the details.

I’ll keep you posted on how I get on - but tell me, have you noticed gum or dental changes in perimenopause/menopause? Would love to know if this has happened to you too.

Do you have times when you can truly switch off even for a few moments in a day. Ideally a few days and do nothing other than ‘rewild’ and reconnect and re-configure. I think this is probably why retreats have done so well in recent years I guess. But how about something just really simple - just disconnecting from all the busy-ness for a little while. You don’t need a retreat for this.

When I talk to many of you about holidays - there’s this sense of needing to double down, of getting more things done before you go (than possibly you would have done normally!). But how about using the pre holiday time to not ramp things up. Maybe just to slow things down slightly. Do the critical pieces. And not start a new thing.

Don’t worry - I clearly remember the times with my children when they were very young and holidays could be stressful times. Different place - new sleep patterns, insect bites, new food, lots of things to take with us etc etc. I barely had time to reconnect to anything lol - just about making sure we had everything in the car for our 3 young children (3 under 3 was full on). We often opted for local holidays so that we could drive and stop for food breaks, nappy changes etc. Looking back at this time I’m not sure how I survived really. But things move on. Slowly. Ethereally.

And yet its still recent enough that I find it amazing to finally reach this point when I can wake up early for a morning practice - a prayer and meditation, to sit in silence before heading out for a dog walk and this time with my son who wants to come with me (yaay!). Such phenomenal peace and joy. I feel incredibly grateful. It’s been over a few months and then years that the shifts have happened - it’s a time for recalibration and reconnection and now remembering and refocusing for the year ahead. Welcoming September …. You’re going to be a big one!

My children’s term times have shaped my work year. And summer holidays are really a time for me to down tools and reflect. When I step back from being public facing, I get the chance to truly reflect — on my health, my life, and what success really means. Not in a glib way, but in a deeply honest way.

This time last year, I prayed for support. I wanted to be able to focus on being a doctor and keep spreading the message that there really is a better way to do health. Less of the stress and noise around business. More space for what really matters.

The universe answered. It cleared the path and showed me the way. All I had to do was keep following the breadcrumbs and asking myself:
✨ What brings me joy?
✨ What is peace?
✨ What does abundance mean to me?

So today I just want to say a huge thank you. To everyone who has supported me — knowingly or unknowingly. To those who have shown me love, and those who have challenged me. You have all played a part in keeping me on the right path. I am sending you all the love and light I have.

To my family and friends, my PT, my spiritual life coach, my patients, my business partners here in the UK and globally, and the incredible people working both front and back of house - you are such a gift to me and my patients.

I feel deeply grateful. And I send back to you a million times over the love and support you’ve given me. ♥️✨🙏🏽

Little hands. Holding on. Hopeful. Trusting. Loving. Oooophh. Last few days now. And then I will no longer have a morning walk in to primary school. All my children will be in secondary - and don’t get me wrong I am so truly grateful and proud of who they are now. But just a moment’s silence please ….

I changed my whole life so I could be more present. In every sense of the word. I never wanted to be an absent mum and I knew I could carve out a life that honoured my passion for medicine but also nurturing for my children.

I still remember those early nursery drop-offs — the clinging, the tears, phoning later to check if they were ok, early collections because they were sick. The sheer juggle of it all. Trying to get to clinic on time, managing patients, building a business from scratch… It often felt like spinning plates on a moving train. The guilt. The desire be me. The eternal Motherload.

But somehow, we get there. Things shift. Settle. Soften. I look back and realise that all those feelings of ‘juggling’ and ‘muddling through’ were actually deeply needed resets and evolutions. Not something to apologise for. No - to be incredibly proud of. Ever changing. Ever evolving. It’s what women do. Every cell of our body is designed to embrace change.

Watching my children grow has to been my evolution. They provide benchmarks and lines in your diary and life. ‘Don’t worry we are nearly there - nearly the end of term…’

To all the women navigating this expanding learning that is motherhood, ambition, responsibility, and love… a little reminder - you are incredible. You are powerful. You are enough.

And we keep rising.

ARE YOUR HORMONES RUNNING AWAY WITH THE SHOW - OR HAVE YOU LEARNT THE DANCE ?

Most women are never taught how profoundly our hormones impact everything from energy and metabolism to mood, sleep, and long-term health.

At LongHER this October in Lausanne, I’ll be diving into one of the most misunderstood — and most powerful — levers of women’s healthspan: hormonal health.

We’ll bust the myths, bring clarity to the chaos, and I’ll share practical, science-based tools you can use right away to support your body through every phase of life.

With over 20 years of clinical experience — from pelvic floor surgery in the NHS to founding my integrative clinics in London — I’m passionate about helping women understand what’s really going on inside, and how to work with it, not against it.

Because when women are supported to understand their own biology, we unlock more than just balance — we unlock our full potential.

🗓️ Join us on October 11 in Lausanne for a day designed by women, for women — to live longer, stronger, and with purpose.
