Try This Naturally: Cook One Meal Fully From Scratch This Weekend 🥕🍲

Modern life pulls us toward convenience, but slowing down to cook a nourishing meal from whole ingredients can be deeply grounding and healing.

✨ Choose one meal: maybe a comforting soup, a tray of roasted veg, or a hearty stew
✨ Use whole, seasonal ingredients where you can
✨ Cook without rushing: put on music, enjoy the process
✨ Eat slowly and mindfully, with gratitude for the nourishment

Why it matters:
Strengthens your connection with your food
Encourages better digestion through mindful preparation
Lowers stress by bringing focus and rhythm to the kitchen
Gives your body exactly what it’s craving: simplicity and warmth

This weekend, give yourself the gift of a real, home-cooked meal. Your body, and your nervous system, will thank you.

There are so many different routes to healing, and none of them are wrong.

It might be a Chinese medicine practitioner recognising Qi stagnation and using acupuncture or herbs to restore flow. It could be an energy worker using Reiki, or a counsellor helping you process stress and emotion. And for some, it’s the belief and trust in a conventional treatment that makes all the difference.

Healing isn’t one-size-fits-all. What matters most is finding what resonates with you. What helps your mind and body truly align.

What’s one approach to healing that’s made a real difference in your life? I’d love to hear in the comments.

🎧 Tune in to the full episode for more on how belief, energy and individuality shape our healing journey.

Every symptom has a story behind it. Instead of reaching for a quick fix, take a moment to ask why. That curiosity is often where true healing begins. 🌿

Welcome to my new Try This Instead series 🌿

If you’re feeling under the weather, you might be tempted to grab a Lemsip… but before you do, here’s why I recommend thinking twice.

Lemsips contain paracetamol, caffeine, decongestants, and a mix of additives and colourings — all of which might make you feel a little better short term, but can actually prolong your illness and place more stress on your body.

Instead, try supporting your immune system naturally:
✨ Zinc – helps shorten the duration of illness (I like the Cytoplan one)
🍇 Elderberry syrup – great for flus, colds and sore throats (Pukka do a lovely one)
☀️ Vitamin D – essential for immune support, especially in the UK

Small changes, big difference.

Let’s talk about fibre: specifically, psyllium husk. 🌾

This gentle yet powerful plant-based fibre can do wonders for your gut health. It helps regulate bowel movements, supports blood sugar balance, and even plays a role in lowering cholesterol.

But it’s not just about digestion. Psyllium can be a simple, natural tool to support overall wellbeing. The key is knowing how to use it properly (and when to avoid it).

I’ve shared all the benefits and tips for taking psyllium husk safely in my blog:

It might sound simple, but how you eat is just as important as what you eat.

✨ With your next meal, try chewing each bite 20–30 times
✨ Put your fork down between bites to slow the pace
✨ Focus on taste, texture, and how your body feels

Why it’s powerful:
-Supports digestion by starting the breakdown of food in the mouth
-Reduces bloating and post-meal fatigue
-Helps with nutrient absorption
-Encourages mindful, stress-free eating

This one change can transform the way your body processes food—especially if you tend to eat on the go or when stressed.

Give it a go this weekend and notice how your body responds.

In medicine and research, success is often measured by how many people a treatment helps.
If over 50% respond well, it’s seen as a win. But what about the other 49%?

I’ve always believed that we shouldn’t put people in boxes. Everyone’s biology, lifestyle, and experiences are different, so it makes sense that what works beautifully for one person might not work at all for another. True healthcare means treating people as individuals, not statistics.

Have you ever felt like your symptoms or experiences didn’t fit the “standard” treatment? I’d love to hear your story.

Your body isn’t the enemy. It’s your greatest ally. When you tune in and support what it’s trying to do, healing becomes a partnership, not a battle. 🌿

Welcome back to Behind the Symptoms 🌿

Today, we’re talking about skin breakouts and acne, and why your skin might be trying to tell you something deeper.

Your skin is an extension of your gut, which means that what’s happening inside often shows up on the outside. If your gut or liver is under stress, your body may use your skin as a way to release toxins, leading to those frustrating breakouts.

Here’s what I often recommend to support clearer, healthier skin:
✨ Kefir for gut health and a stronger microbiome
🌿 Milk thistle to support the liver’s detox pathways
🔥 Saunas to help your body eliminate toxins naturally

Remember; your skin is a messenger, not the problem itself.

Have you noticed a connection between your gut health and your skin? I’d love to hear your experiences in the comments 👇

Reishi mushroom has been used for thousands of years—and for good reason. It’s one of my favourite functional mushrooms for calming the nervous system, supporting the immune response, and helping the body cope with stress. 🍄💆‍♀️🛡️

Whether you're feeling burnt out, run down, or just need a little extra support, Reishi can be a powerful ally for long-term wellbeing.

I’ve shared everything you need to know about this amazing superfood in my blog:

If your mind races at night, try this calming technique to release mental clutter before sleep.

✨ Take 5–10 minutes before bed
✨ Write down anything on your mind; tasks, thoughts, worries, feelings
✨ No need to solve anything, just get it all out onto paper

Why it works:
- Helps clear mental tension
- Signals to your brain that it’s safe to switch off
- Reduces nighttime overthinking
- Encourages deeper, more restful sleep

It’s like giving your brain permission to rest. I often recommend this to patients who feel mentally “busy” at night. it’s such a simple shift with a big impact.

Let me know if you try it this weekend!

I’ve been going to a breathwork class at .farm.club in Knutsford with friends once a month, and it’s honestly been amazing. Once you learn the techniques, it’s so easy to bring them into everyday life.

The breath-holding part, especially, is incredibly calming. That quiet pause between breaths creates such a peaceful space. It’s a moment to reflect, to just be, and to notice how different it feels when we strip away the noise and stress.

Have you ever tried breathwork or focused breathing to calm your mind? I’d love to hear how it’s helped you.

🎧 Tune in to the full podcast episode for more on how these simple techniques can support your wellbeing.
