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.

The reverse is also true…

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.

As a functional medicine practitioner and frequent traveller, I treat the first day home as a physiological reset, not a “catch-up” day.
�Morning light and walk to anchor circadian rhythm.

Abyanga warm oil massage, is my non negotiable. For skin health, protection from viruses and grounds the body from mental distractions.

Really enjoying the benefits of increases energy and focus .life mushroom gummies.
�Protein-first breakfast to stabilise energy and blood sugar.

I’ve been really into my chai lately to break the coffee habit (particularly after Sri Lanka’s influence) !
�Schedule the day immediately: client calls, team touchpoints, priorities�Monthly reflection to clear mental noise and refocus direction
�Grounded, simple dinner to support digestion
�Sauna to downshift the nervous system�Yoga if capacity allows (this time I skipped it… late work and day one of my cycle)
�Save this for your next travel day home, or share it with someone who always feels off after flying.

Did you know our homes can be more toxic than the outdoors? Household dust contains particles like skin cells, pollen, fibers, animal dander, and insect waste.
But we have the power to create a healing space, and cleansing your home at the beginning of the year for winter is a great practice.
