Written by trish on . Posted in Bloating, Cardiovascular Health, Cholesterol, Energy, Type 2 Diabetes, Uncategorized, Weight Loss, Wellbeing, Women's Health.

Do have struggle with cholesterol, type 2 diabetes, and hormones?

As we age, our bodies go through a variety of changes.

For women over 40, these changes can include an increase in cholesterol, the development of type 2 diabetes, and changes in hormone levels.

Cholesterol is a type of fat found in the blood. It plays an important role in our body, helping build cells, produce hormones, and digest food. However, when too much cholesterol is present in the blood, it can lead to a greater risk of heart attack and stroke.

Women over 40 should have their cholesterol levels checked regularly and make lifestyle changes to help keep their levels in a healthy range.

Type 2 diabetes is a condition in which the body does not produce enough insulin or does not use insulin properly. It is most common in adults over 40 and is often linked to obesity, lack of physical activity, and poor diet.

Women over 40 should make lifestyle changes to reduce their risk of developing type 2 diabetes, such as eating a balanced diet and getting regular exercise.

Great news for anyone struggling with high cholesterol or blood sugar problems such as type 2 diabetes.

5 Ways to avoid the Christmas bloat

Written by trish on . Posted in Belly Bloating, Bloating, Blog.

Did you know that 80% of women will suffer worse bloating over Christmas?

Many women aren’t aware that there are some easy and quick ways to sail through this time and come out feeling better than ever.

Here are 7 simple steps to avoid belly bloat this Christmas

  1. Hydrate with 2 litres of water every day but not while eating. Never eat and drink at the same time.
  2. Avoid trigger foods especially processed wheat and sugar. That may seem like a silly thing to say with all the mince pies around. Could you choose gluten-free? Or make your own?
  3. Chew your food well – slow down, sit down and just eat while eating – no watching or drinking at the same time as your meal.
  4. Digest enzymes that Betain HCL can help immensely.
  5. Add in fermented and cultured foods to build bacteria – kombucha, sauerkraut, and kimchi can help.  They are easy to make. I have a video here
  6. Take a few minutes to watch my latest video here where I talk about the burp test to test for low stomach acid
  7. Don’t pile your plate too high – leave some room for digesting your food.

If you’re struggling with any of this and would like to talk to me privately, I offer a free 30-minute call where I can find out more about you and see how best I can help. Here is access to my diary so book a call here

The top 9 things you can do for your gut health

Written by trish on . Posted in Blog, Gut Health.

  1. Get enough sleep. If you’re finding sleep difficult, the solution could lie in your digestive tract. Irregular sleeping patterns have been linked to gut health.
  2. Avoid late-night snacks. Allow your digestive system to rest and repair. You will sleep better too.
  3. Eat slowly and chew your food well. The first phase of digestion happens in the mouth. Slow down and chew.
  4. Stay hydrated.
  5. Lower your stress levels. Chronic high levels of stress are hard on your whole body, especially your gut and hormones.
  6. Reduce alcohol and sugar. Did you know that cravings for sugar and booze can be a clear sign that gut health needs help? You will also sleep better if you reduce these.

7. Take a prebiotic, probiotic and digestive enzymes. Superfoods is my No 1 choice and features in all of my gut healing programmes

8. Check for food intolerances – we can test 200 different foods to check if they are causing bloating and gas

9. Change your diet and eat more vegetables. Avoid too many processed foods.

Do you need help with any of these? 

Get in touch. Sometimes you need extra guidance and accountability. That is where I can help you.

Okay, you missed the enrolment for the 3-week belly bloat programme!

I have great news that this and the 8-week programme will soon be ready to do at your own pace.

What Causes Belly Bloat?

Written by trish on . Posted in Uncategorized.

Do you ever find yourself feeling more tired than you would expect?

That’s never fun.

Let’s address the simple causes.

The biggest culprits when it comes to gut health…

1. Eating too often and not spacing your meals. This doesnt allow for the clearance of bacteria in the small intestine. 
2. Consuming too much refined sugar, wheat, alcohol, fizzy drinks, dairy
3. Drinking and eating at the same time. This dilutes your stomach acid and will slow down your digestion. 
What happens when we ignore the gas, burping and bloating?
* BURNOUT – chronic tiredness will cause this eventually
* Weight gain
* Food allergies
* Anxiety depression, mood changes
* Belly bloat, IBS, or constipation
* Low energy, stamina
* Low sex drive

PLEASE DO NOT IGNORE THESE SYMPTOMS.
CHANGE YOUR HABITS

1. EAT SLOWLY
2. EAT REAL FOOD
3. CHEW YOUR FOOD WELL
4. GET HELP – IT COULD BE A BACTERIA, YEAST OR MOULD

WHERE to start with your gut health

Written by trish on . Posted in Uncategorized.

Healing your gut IS one of the most important jobs right now.

The benefits of having a healthy gut WILL be life changing.

If you find yourself suffering from constipation, bloating, diarrhea, IBS, eczema and psoriasis your gut is giving you a big GET HELP sign.

But where do you start?

Begin by assessing where you are on your health journey. Make a list of your symptoms. They may be whispers or shouts. Explore all areas of your health, nutrition, and well-being. When it comes to digestion, explore north to south—from the mouth to the colon.

Baselining is important before you begin to make any changes. It is easy to forget how much you have improved once you begin to make healthy changes in your life. Where are you currently in your health journey? Your body will whisper a long time before serious symptoms.

Any type of illness is the way for the body to indicate a new direction required. Your body is always on your side.

All illness or discomfort is a way for your body to get your attention and encourage you to embrace change.

In the 8-week Time To Nourish Programme we follow a simple four-step lifestyle and nutrition solution for better health

• Nourish by removing trigger foods and replace with nutrient rich food.
• Cleanse and reduce toxins and chemicals using gentle techniques to support the detox pathways and the main organs.
• Restore and rebalance by resting, relaxing and working on your mindset and emotional healing.
• Redesign your life to live a life you love, making time for self-care and rediscovering your passion and pleasure.

The Best Anti-Inflammatory Foods

Written by trish on . Posted in anti-inflammatory, Blog, inflammation, Joint pain, Mood, Sleep problems, Tips, Weight.

Inflammation is your body’s way of protecting you from harmful stimuli or potential injury. Inflammation can appear in many forms, including pain, heat, swelling, redness, and a slowing down or complete halt of an organ’s function.

Inflammation also shows up as

💪 Weight gain

💪 Joint pain

💪 Insomnia

💪 Heart Burn

💪 Reflux

💪 Irritability

💪 Tiredness

Inflammation may be either acute or chronic. Acute inflammation is the initial protective response of your body tissues and is most likely to be transient. Chronic inflammation, on the other hand, is prolonged and can become severe.

Inflammation may be caused due to an imbalance of the healthy bacteria in your body. It can also happen as a result of food allergies, toxic environment, stress, and bad diet.

Your diet plays a huge role in decreasing or increasing inflammation in your body. If you consume sugary foods, processed foods, or if you are regularly dehydrated, your body is more prone to inflammation while trying to heal itself.

Foods to avoid if you struggle with inflammation:

↓ Alcohol

↓ Refined sugar

↓ processed wheat

↓ Too much dairy

Here are some foods that may help reduce the chances of inflammation or relieve any existing symptoms.

1.Oats:

You can use oats by making a bowl of oatmeal or a jar of overnight oats and top with fruit. Oats help your body fight inflammation and may help reduce any current inflammation that your body is dealing with.

2.Blueberries:

Blueberries can significantly reduce inflammation if consumed on a daily basis. Blueberries are rich in flavonoids, polyphenol, resveratrol and Vitamin C, all of which are well known for reducing inflammation. Blueberries consist of anti-oxidants which can easily turn off and block all forms of body inflammations.

3.Ginger:

Ginger is used in a variety of organic medicines because of its anti-disease, anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. You can add it as a spice in your foods, drink ginger juice, or blend it with honey and drink as a health shot. The most pleasant way to consume ginger, however, is a daily cup of hot ginger tea.

4. Dark Chocolate:

Dark chocolate is one of the healthier varieties of chocolate. You can add some to your oats or combine it with fresh fruit to help reduce inflammation.

5. Turmeric:

Turmeric is also widely used in organic and all natural medicines. You can add to food as a spice or stir in a pinch to your milk or smoothie. Turmeric helps slow the production of the two most inflammatory enzymes, 5-LOX and COX-2.

There are a variety of foods you can add to your diet to help reduce or avoid inflammation. These are a few of the easiest and most accessible. If you are experiencing severe, chronic inflammation, however, be sure to get in touch. I have an 8-week programme designed to reduce inflammation, heal your gut and balance your hormones.   Click here to find out more.

Are you deficient in Vitamin D?

Written by trish on . Posted in Blood Pressure, Cancer, Cardiovascular Health, Hormones, Muscle Function, Type 2 Diabetes, Viral Diseases.

As we begin shorter days here in the UK and say goodbye to a fantastic summer, my mind goes to stocking up on Vitamin D from other sources. My favourite is D3 K2 spray to the inside of the mouth. Let me know if you want to order and I can send you a link.

Vitamin D is an essential vitamin your body needs to function at its best. It is sometimes referred to as “the sunshine vitamin” because it is produced by the sun’s rays and our bodies absorb it through the skin.

It is also found in whole fat dairy products. Wherever you get it from, you need it for healthy bones, as well as a wide variety of other benefits.

1. Strong Bones

Our bones are made of calcium, and our bodies need an ongoing supply of calcium for overall health and bone maintenance. Vitamin D helps stimulate the calcium in our body. If your Vitamin D levels are low, your body will not be able to deposit to your bones; instead, that calcium will be deposited into your bloodstream. Without the nutrients they need, your bones will begin to weaken and you may become more prone to breaks and fractures.

2. Cardiovascular health:

Daily consumption of vitamin D may help protect you from a range of heart diseases like sudden cardiac arrest or heart failure.

3. Improved blood pressure:

Daily vitamin D supplements may help reduce high blood pressure, especially if taken when your blood pressure spikes. Talk to me about the best way to take Vitamin D.

4. Elasticity of arteries:

Healthy vitamin D levels can help maintain and improve the elasticity of your arteries, avoiding the hardening of arteries that leads to poor cardiovascular health.

5. Improved muscle function:

It is not only your bones that suffer from low vitamin D; your muscles start to weaken as well when you suffer from a vitamin D deficiency. Vitamin D can help strengthen muscles, improve their performance, and increase stamina.

6. Decreased risk of Type 2 diabetes:

Some studies have indicated that individuals who consume the recommended amount of Vitamin D on a daily basis may actually have a lower risk of developing Type 2 diabetes than those who did not.

7. Reduced risk of cancer:

Daily consumption of vitamin D may help reduce the risk of various cancers, such as ovarian, lung, breast, throat, colon, and prostate. Vitamin D may help reduce the rate at which cancer cells spread from one to another, possibly contributing to both the prevention and treatment of cancer.

8. Guard against viral diseases:

Vitamin D may help protect our body from viral diseases like the flu and help us recover from illnesses more quickly.

9. Reduced risk of hormone imbalance.

Vitamin D may help balance hormones and promote a healthy perimenopause and menopause journey, free of unwanted symptoms
