How stress can make you fat

How stress can make you fat

  In our plight to shed those unwanted kilo’s, many of us find our ability to lose weight does not simply stem from energy out exceeding energy in. The theory that eating less and exercising more is the primary means for losing weight, is about as outdated as the conventional food pyramid!  If this was the answer to everyone’s weight loss, then I’m sure many of you are probably scratching your heads wondering why on earth you’re still carrying weight around your middle, despite slogging it out at the gym for hours each day!  I have heard this complaint from hundreds of women over the

What causes Hashimoto’s and other weird Autoimmune diseases

What causes Hashimoto's and other weird Autoimmune diseases

  It seems many of you are suffering from, or at least know someone who has some form of Auto immune (AI) disease. The truth is 1 in 5 people living in the western world suffer from one of the 80 existing AI diseases and this statistic is rising, including a doubling in the rate of Multiple Sclerosis in the last ten years. Autoimmune diseases occur when the immune system loses the ability to detect self from non self and consequently launches an attack against it’s own healthy tissues or organs. The hyperactive immune activity triggers a chronic inflammatory response, through

How detox can ovehaul your health

  When searching for answers to our health problems, it’s essential to target the root underlying cause.  Many of us, including the conventional medicine model, tend to focus on treating the visible symptoms, failing to realise that the cause of many health problems actually stems from a poorly functioning digestive system – specifically the GUT or gastrointestinal tract, in addition to eating the wrong foods and being exposed to excess levels of stress. When I work with a patient, I view my approach to their treatment a little like building a house.  First we need to lay the foundations for building new

Gluten Free…Fashionable Hype Or Healthier Choice

Gluten Free...Fashionable Hype Or Healthier Choice

I get asked by many why I advocate going gluten free and the truth be known, I have seen more people experience a marked, if not 100% improvement in their health when they choose to eliminate ALL gluten from their diet than from any other food eliminations. To clarify, gluten is the protein portion found in a bunch of grains, including wheat, oats, rye, spelt, kamut and barely. Ironically I am writing this post from a French patisserie in the West Village of New York city, not because I am a hypocrite and have a secret fetish for French pastries,

How much sugar are you really eating?

How much sugar are you really eating?

When it comes to interpreting food labels and understanding how much sugar is really in our food, there is probably nothing more confusing. You may recall in a recent post I wrote about sugar, how manufacturers are using disguises for the white stuff that sound more like something out of a science fiction novel than real food. Maltitol, mannitol, polydextrose, sorbitol, inulin, HFCS short for – high fructose corn syrup, are all names used by manufactures to list different forms of sugar, but few of us would recognize these terms without formal training. So my advice for interpreting just how

Diaries of a sugar addict

Diaries of a sugar addict

Many of you responded to my recent post about sugar in shock, regarding just how many foods are laden with the white stuff. So in an effort to expand your knowledge on this hot topic even further, I decided to write a post about the many tricks manufacturers use to fool us into thinking their products are slimming and healthy. You can read about it here. The fact is, the way many of us consume sugar is having a detrimental, even life threatening impact on our physical, mental and emotional health. Perhaps the most alarming factor is how many of

Why am I so tired?…..

Why am I so tired?.....

  What does it say about our society when the most commonly prescribed pharmaceutical drugs include, anti-inflammatory’s, sleeping pills and anti-depressants? This begs the question, what went wrong and why have we turned to these medications for support? These drugs represent pain, insomnia, depression and anxiety, all of which are symptoms associated with a silent but very real epidemic, known as Adrenal Insufficiency Syndrome. Adrenal Insufficiency Syndrome (AIS) is described as the inability to produce adequate adrenal hormones, in particular cortisol. Cortisol is a stress response hormone produced by the adrenal glands. It plays a vital role in allowing our

Is coffee your drug of choice?

Is coffee your drug of choice?

  You may recall when we explored the consumption of conventional cow’s milk in an earlier post, and my views on the related issues. Coffee is the Bonnie to the milk, Clyde – a perfect partner in crime. Consider for a moment how much milk the average coffee drinker consumes with their regular cappuccino or flat white…. you could be looking at up to three to four cups per day, depending on your habit! We have become a society that associates coffee with waking up, perking up, socialising and a means to escape the office for our regular coffee break

A bit about this blog

Welcome to my blog, I’m Sally Joseph, I’m a qualified Clinical Nutritionist, with over 14 yrs professional experience in private practice, researching and studying nutritional medicine approaches to optimal health.   Before studying to become a Nutritionist, I overcame my own personal battle with Chronic Fatigue  / Adrenal Exhaustion Syndrome, Lupus and more recently, Hashimoto’s – an auto immune condition of the thyroid as well as a pituitary adenoma. I’m mentioning all this because I think it helps my readers to know ‘I’ve been there’, when it comes to suffering the debilitating effects of chronic and supposedly ‘incurable’ illnesses, not to
