SIBO / L Reuteri ‘Yogurt’ Success
SIBO / L Reuteri 'Yogurt' Success It took a few goes but I have finally mastered the SIBO / L Reuteri 'Yogurt'. As a seasoned fermented I did not expect it to be as hard to figure out as it was! I think what makes, making this ‘yogurt’ challenging is that the...
How I reversed perimenopause
How I reversed perimenopause… For most women, going into the menopause in their 30’s and 40’s is not normal. It’s becoming more and more normal in our society but it’s not nature’s way, but instead, our body’s reaction to our unnatural/toxic society, lifestyles,...
Chronic Illness & The MTHFR Gene
Chronic Illness & The MTHFR Gene So, there is a gene mutation that makes you more suspectable to chronic illnesses. This methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene mutation is found in 40-50% of the population (that’s a pretty huge figure). There are many...

You don’t need fixing
You don’t need fixing! You don’t need fixing, you need accepting! Often when I speak with clients and they realise they may be a ‘people pleaser’, ‘perfectionist, ‘achiever’, ‘helper’ or ‘sensitive’, they think they need to fix this. That the only way to recover...
Test don’t guess

Deciding to eat meat again
Deciding to eat meat again was one of the biggest decisions of my life! I know that sounds dramatic but being plant-based for over 30yrs was ingrained in me. I REALLY believed I was doing the best I possibly could for the animals, myself and the planet. I believed...
Fuel for Thriving

Growing Strawberries
Growing Strawberries The first few years of living in Portugal I did not do very well at growing strawberries. There were not very many and it was not a very long season. Now there are masses of them, every day, every year, and the last few years the season has...

What i did wrong with oxalates
What I did wrong when I discovered I’d poisoned myself with oxalates… Many years ago, when I was still plant-based I heard about oxalates and thought it was completely ridiculous that all my whole food superfoods could be harming my health. I brushed this nonsense...
Health changes so far…
