Hello Reader Have you ever woken up in the morning and just felt jittery or on edge, with a racing heart and a strange sense of dread, before you have even gotten out of bed? Or perhaps you track your blood sugar and have noticed a frustrating trend that your glucose levels spike first thing in the morning, even though you have not eaten anything or even done anything. This week, we are looking at how daily stress can cause waking anxiety and metabolic imbalance. Why Your Blood Sugar Spikes...

Hello Reader "I'm tired" This is a phrase that I hear far too often. Tiredness without an "obvious" cause is genuinely a cause for concern and if this is the case, please do get in touch. But then there is tiredness related to everything from lack of sleep, to finances, stress, and having responsibilities. No matter the cause of the fatigue, healthy eating is a must!

Hello Reader How are you? If you are here in the UK, I hope you are enjoying the heat! The Californian in me absolutely loves the sunshine, but even for me, there are times when it feels too hot to read or write. Today, I am writing to you from a lovely coffee shop on my local high street. It is nice and refreshing in here, and thankfully, the AC (or "air con" as the Brits call it!) isn't on full blast, which is just perfect. As I sit here with my laptop, I wanted to share an update about my...

Hello Reader Last week I talked to you about simplifying health. But what if things became too simple in that it becomes ineffective? I went to a food festival recently and aside from eating good food, I saw a variety of food vendors there. One of which I saw was selling a drink that gives you your daily fibre. I will not mention the brand, but I am sure you have seen them around either in the grocery stores or on your social media feeds. Now, my question to you is that are these drinks...

Hello Reader I was paying for parking the other day using one of the parking apps. I double checked the parking location code, time, which car I selected, etc and I realised that I miss walking upto a parking machine, getting the ticket and placing it on the dashboard. It was easier - far less things to consider and far less ways to make a mistake. I hear from so many people about the parking fines they get because they input a wrong number on the parking location. And they cannot appeal it....

Hello Reader There is no such thing as a quick fix to weight loss or a single supplement that will help you burn fat without making any dietary or lifestyle changes. In fact, even with weight loss drugs such as ozempic, you would lose more muscle and bone density than fat. Anyhow, over the last two weeks, we have looked at how our cellular engines produce energy and how to clean up their exhaust. This week, we are tackling the type of fuel your engines are burning. Because like a car, the...

Hello Reader There are so many aspects to social media that are dangerous - two of which are misrepresentation and the other being misinformation. I am going to address both of these in regards to health and wellbeing. If you spend even a few minutes scrolling on social media, your feed will likely give you some sort of exposure to supplements. Whether its about natural GLP-1s, a protocol to lose the cortisol belly, or a special enzyme that will prevent your blood sugar from spiking. More...

Hello Reader How are you? Reply to this email and let me know! And while you are at it, let me know what you would like to learn more about when it comes to hormonal health. So many women living with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) are undiagnosed and to be honest, I am not even sure if the name change (Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome - PMOS) alone will officially change that statistic. Raising awareness and speaking openly about PCOS/PMOS is one way to create greater awareness....

Hello Reader Burnout is real. More than likely most of us have experienced it at one point or another. Recently, I have also felt that I was close to burning out so before I got to that point, I made some drastic changes and I definitely feel better for it! Last week, we began looking at mitochondria and cellular energy. But this week, we need to talk about the flip side of high energy, which is cellular exhaustion. When you push a machine to run at maximum speed for too long, it overheats...
