Chronic inflammation doesn’t just affect your gut or joints — it changes your brain 🧠

When microglia (your brain’s immune cells) stay switched on, they damage neurons, reduce synaptic connections, and accelerate cognitive decline.

The good news? You can calm the fire, prevent neurodegeneration, protect cognition by addressing the roots:
👉 Balance blood sugar
👉 Support gut and hormone health
👉 Reduce toxic burden
👉 Prioritise restorative sleep

Your brain thrives when inflammation is low and hormones are in sync. Prevention starts now.

Most people believe neurodegeneration only hits in old age… but really, it starts decades earlier.”

Alzheimer’s, Dementia, Parkinson’s - We leave it too late!

By the time symptoms appear, damage has been quietly accumulating for years

Dementia currently costs the UK around £42 billion/year in healthcare, social care. By 2040 the cost is expected to more than double to about £90-£91 billion/year.

Never mind the fact that these conditions are heart breaking for all involved 💔

The good news? These conditions are preventable. You can protect yourself.

Over the next couple of weeks - I will give you a Functional Medicine approach to protecting your precious brain 🧠! Please share this with anyone who you think this may help. 🙏

I often get asked “What is Functional Medicine?”

✨Functional Medicine asks WHY you’re experiencing symptoms — not just what can suppress them.

Doctors are brilliantly trained in disease medicine - Functional medicine practitioners are trained in health medicine!

Instead of matching a drug to a diagnosis or symptom, we look at the root causes behind your fatigue, hormone imbalance , gut issues, skin issues, or immune dysfunction.

🧬 We ask:
→ What’s out of balance?
→ What systems are talking to each other?
→ What are your triggers and burden, which are preventing you from healing (repair)

We work with your biology, not against it, using nutrition, lifestyle, environment, and targeted support to bring the body back into balance.

It’s science meets systems thinking. We are system biologists - connecting all the dots
It’s personalised.
It’s proactive.
It’s powerful.

To my adored treasured granda Walter Lewis the chief of our tribe….honouring his incredible life and his peaceful passing yesterday 🤍 - near 98 years - he is part of the very fabric of my being & has imprinted all his love, guidance, wisdom and incredible resilience into every cell. 🤍

My granda was a legend, a giant of a man, an inspiration, a true gentleman, a musician, an entertainer, a storyteller, a joker but all in all he was a family man who loved nothing more than being surrounded by his loved ones and his community. 🤍

Born in 1927 into humble beginnings in rural north of Ireland - a land so far from today’s world it is hard to believe. A musician from early on, teaching himself the fiddle, the saxophone and the clarinet, he then went onto form and be the front man of the “Walter Lewis Show band” famed far and wide bringing joy to many a dance hall across Ireland and England. His music was his love, his saviour, his joy, he once told me that his fiddle was his best friend and he never got lonely because of his fiddle. He was described as “A symbol of Ireland’s living musical heritage”

He used to tell me stories from the “olden days” these stories have shaped me in more ways than he will ever know.

A father to 6, a granda of 12 & a great granda to 5 - as much as the tears are flowing and the loss is so deeply felt, it is time for his next adventure, he has been the strong stable loving centre of our universe for so long, it’s now time for him to return home.

Time to go deep into the tribe to grieve, to process & celebrate Walter Lewis, my granda the legend & his incredible life 💜
