    Is your same breakfast every morning making you sick?

    Is your same breakfast every morning making you sick?

    We are all creatures of habit and we like routine, especially when it comes to meal times. Breakfast time in particular is a time when we often quickly grab the same old cereal and milk or toast usually because we are in a hurry and don’t have time to think too much about it. I am aware of many people who prepare the same kale smoothie or juice every morning believing it is the best thing they can do for their health. Yes green smoothies are fantastic as they are rich in nutr

    Bone broth for healing and sealing the gut

    Bone broth is a traditional food that is making a comeback due to its proven gut healing properties. As a large percentage of the population have some degree of `leaky gut’ it is a food we should be having regularly. What is bone broth? A bone broth is made by simply boiling the bones of healthy animals (e.g. chicken, beef, lamb) with vegetables, herbs and spices. Simmering bones over a low heat for up to 24 hours creates a nutrient dense broth that is rich in minerals such a

    Is Your Child Deficient in Zinc?

    One of the things I have noticed working with young children with gut issues, allergies and development disorders is that many of them are severely deficient in the mineral zinc. With these children I have supplemented with zinc as part of their treatment plans (after testing) and positive changes have occurred quite quickly. According to the World Health Organisation (WHO) the prevalence of zinc deficiency throughout childhood is estimated to be high. It is regarded as a maj

    Supporting the Healing from Autoimmunity With Enzymes

    Enzyme therapy can be a safe and effective supportive treatment for inflammation and auto immunity and has an excellent clinical track record. Enzyme therapy uses specific protein digestive enzymes (proteolytic enzymes) taken on an empty stomach to break down and eliminate problematic proteins in the body whether these are food antigens, blood clots, fibrous tissue, bacteria, yeast and fungi/mould. Taking proteolytic enzymes can be an effective treatment as `Everything that m

    Always tired? foggy head? Could you be deficient in Vitamin B12?

    Is it estimated that as many as 40% of the population have low plasma B12 levels at a level in which neurological issues begin to manifest. Unfortunately, vitamin B12 levels are not routinely tested and the reference range of what is considered low (which is 200 pg/mL - 350 pg/mL in most countries) is too low so many people who are tested are considered normal even with clear B12 deficiency symptoms. Plasma levels below 500 - 550 pg/mL have been associated with neurological,

    How healthy are the cells in your gut?

    How healthy are the cells in your gut?

    Recent research has established that 90% of our genetic material is in our gut flora, with only 10% of the cells in our gut flora human. So we are essentially 90% bacteria and 10% human! So if we are 90% bacteria it is important that we are dominated by beneficial bacteria such as the Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium species and not opportunistic and pathogenic flora, which can contribute to poor health. One of the important functions of the gut flora is to keep our enteroc
