There is many, many reasons we might be stressed,

There is many, many reasons we might be stressed, some are avoidable and some are unavoidable.

Lack of social support, work over load, work underload, changes, role ambiguity are just some of the work related stressors people may be feeling at this present time.

Other life events and world events such as Covid can cause immense stress also, being stranded from family is extremely distressing and I recommend seeking help from a professional.

Lifestyle stressors, environmental stressors can also be extremely dangerous and compounding.

Some as I said are in our control and some are not so the controllable ones here are some stress relievers:-

- To effectively combat stress you need to activate your bodies relaxation response.. deep breathing, calm APP, meditation and gentle exercise like yoga can help.

- Prioritising sleep- which also is a causation of stress so it’s important to make sure you are getting enough sleep.

- Remove triggers, alcohol, caffeine if you feel they are contributing or they are hindering your progress.

- Grounding or earthing and spending time in nature.

- Guided imagery involves using your imagination to put you in a more relaxed state.

- Seek help from a professional if need be.

The importance of physical exercise, a well balanced diet and well nourished bodies are better equipped and prepared to deal with stress. Make sure you are also finding time to do something that brings you joy maybe that’s going for a walk, Reading a book or getting creative.

Journaling can also be really beneficial as this will allow you to identify what is a regular stressor in your life and best way to deal with them, by writing down how you feel physically and emotionally and how and what you did to make you feel better.

A food intolerance, or a food sensitivity occurs w

A food intolerance, or a food sensitivity occurs when a person has difficulty digesting a particular food. These words can be used confusingly.

This can lead to symptoms such as intestinal gas, abdominal pain or diarrhea. These can be tested through your doctor or functional medicine testing through your naturopath. Some common food sensitivities are dairy, wheat, coffee and high fodmap foods. A food diary is a great way to notice how you feel after certain foods.

Food allergy is a pathological reaction of the immune system triggered by the ingestion of a food protein antigen. Exposure to very small amounts of allergenic foods can trigger clinical symptoms such as gastrointestinal disorders, urticaria and airway inflammation, ranging in severity from mild to life-threatening. These always need to be addressed and should never be confused. Some common food allergies are nuts, fish and shellfish and milk.

As you guys know I am all about eating seasonally

As you guys know I am all about eating seasonally and it’s the philosophy around food that I always talk about.

It’s the easiest way to enjoy and get the most out of your fruits and vegetables and also eating seasonally allows you to make sure you are eating the fruit and vegetables at their ripest.

Seasonal eating also allows you to follow the seasons for what nutrients and foods your body needs. So coming into spring lighter foods, foods high in antioxidants and also vitamin c which can help combat seasonal allergies.

As we are coming into spring one of my favourite times of the year!

Herbs are a great addition to your health routine

Herbs are a great addition to your health routine at different stages of your life and also different health conditions and ailments you may be suffering from.

Maca is traditionally used as an aphrodisiac and the small amount of research shows it can increase libido.

Shatavari is one of my favourite herbs it has high antioxidant properties and anti- inflammatory properties and also is an adaptogenic herb.

Herbs should always be used under the guidance of a qualified naturopath or medical herbalist.

Prebiotics verse probiotics and do we need both?

Prebiotics verse probiotics and do we need both?

In short yes we do, one is the plants and the other is the fertiliser for our Gut.

Prebiotics refer to the type of fiber that the human body can not digest and are food for the probiotics.

Having them both will support the good bacteria in your gut and help it flourish.

Foods that are rich in probiotics include:
yogurt, kefir, fermented foods such as saukerkrsut and kimchi.

Food that have probiotics include onion, wheat bran, asparagus, Dandellion greens.

As it has been researched the importance of the gut microbiole and fermented foods and the byproducts of fermentation help the diversity of your Gut.

Remember with everything what works for one person may not be suitable for the next person, someone with a histamine intolerance may not be able to have fermented food.

So again always check with your health care professional.

Herbs are great addition to your night time routin

Herbs are great addition to your night time routine if you are having trouble sleeping, whether that is falling asleep or staying asleep or asking up multiple times a night a sleepy herbal formula might be right for you!

Valerian root is a very that promotes tranquility and improves sleep. There are a number of active compounds that help promote sleep and reduce anxiety.

Chamomile is anti-inflammatory, spasmolytic and carminative and also a mild sedative. It can help with restlessness and also insomnia.

Passionflower can help you fall asleep at night it also helps with irritability and maintenance insomnia.

California poppy is also a mild sedative it can hell with emotional stress as well as tension headaches.

Remember always talk to your health care professional and only take herbal medicine under the guidance of a qualified practitioner.

Gut health is something that is being more and mor

Gut health is something that is being more and more researched and it is said to be the motherboard or our second brain.

The microbiome is the genetic material of all the microbes - bacteria, fungi, protozoa and viruses - that live on and inside the human body.

There are many reasons why this can be disrupted including stress, alcohol, caffeine highly processed food and some medications! It's important we all look after our gut health every single day, it's also important if you have chronic or unexplained or undiagnosed gut issues you seek help from your health care professional.
