I often wonder if some of us are born with it and others just naturally lack it. I always used to think I had ‘no’ patience. Was it missing from my genetic makeup? Was it the way I was brought up? I’d get so impatient as a child;

I tend to recommend green smoothies to a lot of my clients, due to them being healthy, nutritious, easy, and tasty. Recently, however, I am getting a few frustrated emails from clients wanting something different.

In case you hadn’t noticed, there is so much emphasis on diets right now, and their impact on heart health. You might be feeling overwhelmed, should you eat low fat? High protein? No fruit? Eat vegan? Omit soy? Take statins? How do you know who and what to believe?

Firstly it’s important to not assume it’s only menopause that leads to lower estrogen levels and secondly menopause does not always mean mean low estrogen, this common misconception can often lead to more hormonal issues if treated incorrectly.

I was chatting with a friend today who is desperate to give up smoking, so I thought this is the perfect subject for a blog as we enter into 2016. It’s well into the festive season. Its one of those times of year, when social smoking can take its toll, so why not look at quitting before the festive season has come and gone.

When I talk about cleansing, I refer to a natural way in which your body removes waste and other harmful toxins. Many think of a cleanse as being rigorous, hard work, or intense. When in fact, the best cleanse uses whole-foods and detoxifying substances to enhance your body’s natural detoxification pathways.

This week I discuss macronutrients and the impact your body type has on the amount of macronutrients you need to consume for optimal health and weight loss….. You’ll also find out why low carb doesn’t work for everyone!

So I made the jump and started using Periscope, this was a huge one for me, as the live streaming really freaked me out (still does). The great thing about Periscope versus other social media platforms like Facebook or Twitter, is that it is live – in real time. You can ask me anything you want and it is there for the world to see. This concept makes it super fun and really interactive.
