Good Health Starts in the Gut

In our new health campaign we will be covering the importance of gut health as a major pillar of wellness. The next articles will explain the importance of a healthy digestive system, what illnesses are being researched and linked to poor gut health, simple changes you can make not only to reduce inflammation, but also increase the good bacteria and support the digestion process. At the end of the articles series, an E-book will be released exclusively to subscribers containing an introduction guide to help you achieve optimal gut health, which includes carefully designed meal suggestions for lunch and dinner with recipes to kick start the process.

Stress & Essential Oils

In the years I have been health coaching the most common health issue I hear of pretty much daily is how stressed people are.

What are Harmful Organisms?

Microorganisms that live in and on our bodies have co-evolved with humans and far outnumber even our own cells. Some are perfectly welcome and help the body produce vitamins and amino acids. This collection of bacteira are known as Bacteroidetes: the good guys. They also play an important role in the digestive and immune systems, blood pressure and mental health. It is widely accepted that these microbial populations affect our physiology, and likewise, our behaviours. Our environment can shape which microbes are present in and on us. Intestinal microbes, our so-called gut flora or gut microbiome, are the most extensively characterised of these populations, and have been implicated in chronic inflammation, auto-immunity, diabetes, and obesity.
