As we wrap up April the first real awakening into Spring
A return to lightness, colour, and creation….on your plate and in your life.

Think: peas, asparagus, radishes, baby greens, artichokes.
Fresh herbs scattered generously…basil, mint, dill, chives.
The first strawberries arriving (heart-shaped for a reason) 💕💕💕
Eggs for deep nourishment: choline, healthy fats, hormone support.
Wild salmon, sardines: feeding brain, skin, mood.
Avocado, raw honey, edible flowers… beauty you can taste.
Meals become lighter now, vibrant bowls, fresh salads, smoothies layered with intention.

And beneath it all, reflection cues:
What am I ready to create?
Where have I been holding myself back?
What would shift if I trusted my desires….fully?
April reminds you: creation isn’t reserved for one path.
Your work, your ideas, your expression, your joy…
this is your fertility!!!
And pleasure?
Not at all a distraction or an afterthought.
It is THE energy source.
Eat in a way that feels alive for YOU. 
Live in a way that lets something new move through you.
🫶🏼✨🌱🌸

Five things about blood sugar and your cycle that your GP probably hasn’t mentioned:

1. Insulin sensitivity changes across your menstrual cycle, you are more insulin sensitive in your follicular phase and less so in your luteal phase. This is why premenstrual cravings are biological, not a willpower issue.

2. You can have completely normal fasting glucose and still have insulin dysregulation that’s disrupting your cycle.

3. A single night of poor sleep reduces insulin sensitivity by up to 25%. In your luteal phase, when it’s already naturally lower, this compounds.

4. Elevated insulin signals the ovaries to produce more androgens, including testosterone. This is the mechanism behind PCOS patterns, and it affects women without a formal diagnosis too.

5. The mid-afternoon crash, the jawline acne, the pre-period mood dip, these are often the same story.

This is Episode 2 of the Hormone Hierarchy. Two minutes of the things I wish every woman knew about blood sugar.
Save this. Share it with someone whose cycle feels like a mystery.

Spring Equinox is here in the Northern Hemisphere 🌸

In nature, this is the moment where light and dark become equal. From here, the light slowly leads us into the brighter half of the year.
Since we ARE nature….Our bodies reflect this energy too.
In winter, our energy leans towards the kidneys and deep restoration.�But spring belongs to the liver and gallbladder. This is the season of movement, creativity and gentle detoxification.
You might notice:�• more ideas�• more motivation to create�• a desire for lighter, fresher foods
Nature shows us exactly what we need.
Right now that looks like:�🌱 wild garlic�🌱 asparagus�🌱 bitter greens�🌱 fermented foods like sauerkraut

These help wake up digestion and support the liver as we move out of winter.

One of my favourite spring rituals is making magnolia vinegar while the blossoms are in season. It captures the energy of spring to use in dressings, broths or even cocktails later in the year.

Spring is the season of fertility, creativity and initiation.
Let your body move with it.

Happy Spring Equinox 🌸

For the past year, HER Daily Rhythm has been growing timidly behind the scenes. But the year of the horse says, be BOLD and COURAGEOUS and LEAD WITH HEART.

What began as a passion project is becoming something much bigger. A platform devoted to changing the conversation around women’s health.

Her Daily Rhythm exists because women are cyclical beings, not linear ones. We are guided by rhythms, by nature, by a 28-day architecture that science is only just beginning to honour and by the wisdom of TCM, Ayurveda, and traditional medicines that are guided by this.
�Women’s bodies have historically been studied through a male lens. We are cyclical. Our hormones, energy, sleep, creativity, and metabolism move through rhythms every single moment.
When we understand those rhythms, everything changes.

HER Daily Rhythm explores how we reconnect with our natural cycles through:�• modern science�• emerging femtech�• traditional medicine�• nutrition, lifestyle and nervous system health

This is about giving women the knowledge that should have always been ours.
And if you’re a man reading this, you are connected to women too. Your mothers, partners, sisters, colleagues. Supporting women’s health supports all of us.

Your body deserves that knowledge. Not as a side project.
Subscribe to HER Daily Rhythm on YouTube. Tell me what you want to hear. And if this speaks to you, share it with someone who needs it. I would love your support.

✨ Subscribe to HER Daily Rhythm on YouTube�✨ Share it with someone who cares about women’s health�✨ Tell me what topics you want explored

This space is for you. With love,

Secrets of Divine Love: A Spiritual Journey into the Heart of Islam. Has been beautiful poetic reading, in my Ramadan bookclub. The second time I’m reading, and every passage opens you up to a new internal universe ✨❤️.

Some things to remember during this time ✨

Love is the power that cuts through fear. And community is the power we are returning to.

Whenever fear is broadcasting and you get caught in it. Return to love…beauty.

Can you notice you’re in fear? And bring your vibration back to love? Think of someone you love… a moment that you loved. Put your attention or focus to a person place or thing that’s going to make you feel love again. Really notice this dance between fear and love. And create something different. �

A lot of our body cues, get normalised and the bar just raised, so we can mask the symptoms with a pill, supplement, habit, or be more disconnected from our bodies.
These symptoms are normalised but aren’t normal symptoms of a healthy GI tract. If you are experiencing more than 3 symptoms, that’s completely okay! My first recommendation would be to start tracking the symptom in your body. What time of day? After any particular foods? Stressful periods? Etc etc and you can well better to resolve, and will be able to feel so vital and energised in every aspect of your life!

Symptom check:
Bloating after meals - Abdominal bloating
Chronic flatulence or belching
Nausea
Constipation.(less than one bowl movement a day).
Lethargy or depression after eating
Pain anywhere in the abdominal region or GI
Undigested food in stool
Highly offensive breath
Food cravings other than regular hunger
Lack of satisfaction after meals
Lack of hunger for breakfast. If you haven’t eaten for 12 hours, you should have an appetite… liver connections…
Diarrhoea or loose stool
Discoloured stool

Theres not a day that I miss this practice! I can literally notice the difference:

Some exciting science and western science….

Tongue scraping actually gets into the crypts of the tongue. “The bacteria that are responsible for producing nitric oxide are what’s called facultative anaerobes”,

They’re typically deep in the crypts of the tongue. So if they have oxygen available, they’ll utilise oxygen to respond. If oxygen is not available because they’re in this anaerobic biofilm, then they’ll use nitrogen as a source. So what tongue scraping is doing is opening up these crypts, and now you’re kind of destroying the biofilms and allowing that biofilm to re-create in a more healthy manner. Tongue scraping improves the diversity of the microbiome. You’re “aerating the soil” and then allowing for this change in ecology. The bacteria on the dorsal part of the tongue are near the gag reflex, but you need to get back there and apply mechanical pressure with a scraper - a toothbrush won’t do it. One or two scrapes once a day is typically sufficient.
