We often think of “being ill” as something purely negative — but nature doesn’t make mistakes. As Dr Natasha Campbell-McBride explains, norovirus (the classic vomiting & diarrhoea bug) is incredibly common in humans… and surprisingly beneficial.
Animal studies show that norovirus can restore normal gut flora after antibiotic damage. Even more amazing, it also helps return the immune system and the physical structure of the gut wall back to a healthy state.
And while the symptoms can feel dramatic, the illness usually only lasts a couple of days. When you understand its purpose, it doesn’t seem such a high price to pay.
Vomiting and diarrhoea are powerful cleansing mechanisms of the digestive system — they flush out toxins, pathogens, parasites and anything causing trouble. Your gut ends up cleaner, clearer and often much healthier afterwards.
It’s a good reminder that disease is not always the enemy.
Sometimes, your body is simply doing what it was designed to do — heal, cleanse and restore balance.

We live in a world where we attack disease with things against life — antibiotics.
But what if true healing came from restoring life instead?
✨ Imagine IV probiotics.
✨ Imagine flooding the body with living organisms that rebuild, balance and heal.
That’s the medicine of the future — for life, not against it. 🌿

Every loaf of bread. Every cake. Every biscuit. Every bowl of cereal.
Now carries synthetic folic acid — whether you want it or not.

A pharmaceutical additive, forced into our food in the name of “public health”… but the research doesn’t add up. Learn why many experts — including Dr Clare Craig — are questioning this policy, and what it means for your health.

We’ve all heard that “breakfast is the most important meal of the day”… but that line didn’t come from science — it came from Kellogg’s marketing team 🥣
It was never about health, it was about selling cereal.
Those high-sugar, high-carb boxes set you up for blood sugar crashes, mood swings and that mid-morning “hangry” feeling 😬
Real breakfast looks very different — think eggs, meat stock, kefir or even leftovers from last night’s dinner.
Food that actually nourishes and keeps you steady all morning .

Are you making meat stock or broth?

They might look the same — but they play very different roles in supporting gut and overall health.
If you’ve ever wondered which one your body needs (or why meat stock feels more soothing when digestion suffers), my new free PDF guide explains it all.

💧 Salt is life!

Isn’t it ironic that hospitals give people saline drips containing 9 grams of salt per litre — yet we’re told salt is bad for us?

That’s the same concentration as in our blood. Without salt, our nerves wouldn’t fire, our hearts wouldn’t beat properly, and we couldn’t absorb nutrients or make stomach acid.

Traditional cultures valued salt as sacred. They traded it, travelled miles to find it, and knew instinctively that life depends on it.

The real problem isn’t salt — it’s modern, ultra-processed food stripped of minerals and loaded with damaged oils and refined carbs.

I’ll be sharing more about the benefits of salt and why it’s essential for healthy fermentation in my upcoming fermentation workshop! 🌿

Bring back the good salt — unrefined, mineral-rich, and full of life
