I'm starting a new adventure to help heal my body.  

I'm scared as hell, but excited at the same time. 

Want to come along on the ride with me?

Oil Pulling - how and why I've added it to my daily morning ritual.

Did you know that dairy, it seems, is the second most common food trigger of Hashimoto's (after gluten)?

The more information I gather on the subject, the easier I'm finding it to say adios.  One of the things helping me through.....Ghee.

Continuing on from The Gut Chakra Part 1.... 

When this chakra is blocked you’ll most likely experience feelings of low self-worth and of being powerless and stressed.  You have an unhealthy digestive track, adrenal fatigue and develop bad sleep patterns.  Sound like you?  

Did you know that poor gut health can actually suppress your thyroid and trigger Hashimoto’s disease (Hypothyroidism)?

I don’t know about you, but one of the biggest issues I experience from having Hashimoto’s is my digestion.  Or should I say, my lack of digestion . . . 

Think you may possibly have thyroid issues, or know someone who does?  

Then this 100% free, on-line documentary by Dr. Izabella Wentz, is for you . . .

Discover my number 2 factor contributing to a slow metabolism when dealing with the daily symptoms of Hashimoto's, and tips on what I've been doing to help....

Struggling with fatigue?  

I hear you.  

Since coming back from France, fatigue has hit me in the face with a big baseball bat.   

Whether it was the long flight, jetlag (still?!) or the extra gluten, dairy and sugar that was added into my diet whilst away, I’m now paying the price.  So I wanted to share with you a couple of the simple, everyday things I’m “trying out” to help recalibrate my body and boost my energy levels.  

Bonjour mes amis!

If you’ve been following my adventures on Instagram, you’ll know I’ve been frolicking in France for the past month.  Spending my days walking for miles and eating my body weight in French food.

Now I’m back. 

Well, my physical body is anyway.

I set out on this latest holiday with an open mind (and heart), knowing that France does not lead the world in gluten, sugar and dairy free food options (baguettes, French butter and fromage…hello!).  Surprisingly, they are definitely growing in this area, something I had never noticed on my past visits.

I truly believe that healing your body requires more than simply taking a few pills or herbs.  I believe it requires a complete overhaul of your body, mind and spirit.  

When it was first discovered that I had a thyroid issue, I was automatically put on conventional pharmaceutical thyroid medication by my doctor, and at the time, I felt sooo much better.  The swelling in my thyroid went down and the symptoms disappeared.  To be honest with you, at the time, I thought that was it.  Done and dusted.  I was fine.

And then a year later the symptoms all came back.  Tenfold!

Did you know that raw organic cacao is the highest plant-based source of iron?

Did you also know that it contains more calcium than cow’s milk?

Say what?!

However, as the iron found in raw organic cacao is non-heme (as is all plant-based iron), you’ll body will get maximum benefit if you combine eating it with vitamin C.
