Life…’unplugged’

Life...'unplugged'

  Have you ever had those moments when you  feel like you just want to ‘pull the power  cord from the wall’,  so you can simply ‘unplug’, decompress and reboot?  Those times where you just want to yell…..’TIME OUT!!!’  So you can take stock and get off the treadmill of life and press pause, even  just for one moment so you can recharge and catch your breath?  If this sounds like you, then its a sure sign you’re feeling the effects of too much stress. It’s moments like these we need to listen to our body  and the message it is trying to tell us…. ‘STOP and

Sugar…To Quit Or Not To Quit

Sugar...To Quit Or Not To Quit

Just a few days after returning from my travels in America, my PA flicked me no less than 96 emails from my readers asking my opinion on a recent ‘sugar war’ that had broken out between a journalist and a nutritionist.  I read the article in question and was some what amused as these sorts of controversies always seem to come round when the latest health  craze is hitting the streets. So I feel compelled to respond to those who have asked about my stance on this argument, not only because so many of you have requested I clear up the confusion, but also because  Sarah Wilson was a client of mine, when she consulted

Whatever you do…READ YOUR LABELS people

Whatever you do...READ YOUR LABELS people

I’m currently in the United States for work which means discovering new foods and familiarising myself with new brands.  All too often it’s so easy to pick up a product based on what’s displayed on the front of the pack – and be lured by terms such as  ‘organic, no added sugar, fat free, low GI, non GMO, Gluten Free, dairy free’…. the list is a mile long! But whilst some of these terms may represent a genuinely healthy product, it’s not until you turn to the back label, that you will discover the FULL story about what’s really contained

Are Your Pain Med’s Causing You Pain?

Are Your Pain Med's Causing You Pain?

  If you’re suffering from chronic pain and have become reliant on pharmaceutical pain medications, such as over the counter anti inflammatories  – known as NSAID’s – non-steroidal antiinflammatory drugs –  like aspirin or ibuprofen, or you’re unlucky enough to have to rely on heavy duty corticosteroid anti inflammatory drugs, such as prednisolone, prednisone and medrol, then chances are your pain could become a product of these medications if you’re taking them regularly. How can pain relieving medications become the cause of pain I hear you ask?  Well quite simply because of the damage they cause to the lining of the small

Why the humble sandwich doesn’t cut it!

Why the humble sandwich doesn't cut it!

  Let’s face it, many of you probably grab a sandwhich for lunch each day, and if your like most,  you probably didn’t make it yourself, but rather picked it up from your local cafe or sandwhich bar.  So what’s wrong with this ‘typical’ lunch?  Well, there are many factors that make the humble sandwich a poor choice.  I know a lot of you may throw your arms at me  for saying this, but before you switch off, take a moment to hear me out. First of all, I want to state that for those of you who buy good

Out Of My (food) Comfort Zone…

Out Of My (food) Comfort Zone...

I’m in the US right now and so far I’ve travelled 7 cities in 14 days, so if  jet lag, followed by jumping planes, trains and automobiles every couple of days hasn’t been enough to upset the apple cart, contending with trying to find real, whole food on the run in some places, has been.  When I travel, I try to eat just like I do back home  – the same as I recommend in my book, Eat Yourself Healthy.  My digestive system has grown accustomed to it’s usual Green Goddess juice  or super food power smoothie first thing of a

Who are you really getting your health advice from?

Who are you really getting your health advice from?

In today’s day and age of technology and the internet, we have seen a BOOM in accessible information online, from all over the world and from all walks of life. Like most things in life, this phenomena has it’s ‘pro’s’ and it’s ‘con’s’.  For starters, the internet has enabled us to  better self educate, providing us with more knowledge and in return, more power and choices. But when it comes to health, sometimes too much information can be  just as harmful as too little, especially when anyone can post anything, when it comes to health advice on the net. Because there is

Your right to access natural medicine is under threat

Your right to access natural medicine is under threat

Many of you who read this blog will have either consulted me as a patient for complementary health care using nutritional and or herbal medicine, or follow it because you use complementary medicine as part of maintaining your health and wellbeing and are keen to stay abreast of how to live an optimally healthy life. Well what would you say if I told you that your right to access complementary medicine and practitioners was under grave threat because of a proposed new government legislation that would see your freedom of choice in health care options taken away from you?  Would the loss

How do you balance your nervous system?

This year’s been a pretty hectic one for me at work, I have been toiling away on some pretty big projects, which has meant upping the anti as far as long days, lots of jumping on and off planes and missing many a week end, in order to get my projects off the ground.  But having suffered and recovered from two Auto Immune diseases – Lupus and Hashimoto’s, that were ultimately triggered by stress,  I am very strict about setting boundaries and respecting my body.  I guess this decision for me comes easily now, after losing my health for so many years along with the freedom to

If you wouldn't drink it then why put it on your skin?

In previous posts I have written about many of the essential things we need to do to function at our best, one the most important being to minimise our exposure to toxins. Toxins find their way into our body through a variety of means, ranging from the obvious – alcohol, drugs, caffeine, nicotine and pharmaceutical and recreational drugs, as well as through foods such as artificial sweeteners, nitrates used in processed meats such as salami and bacon and ham, processed or trans fats, preservatives, colours, flavours and non-organic foods that have been contaminated with chemical sprays and antibiotics. But there is another
