Supporting Lung Health Naturally: The Gut-Lung Connection and Winter Respiratory Resilience

Breath is the first gift we receive as we enter this world. From the very first inhale to our last, our lungs work quietly in the background of every moment of our lives. A healthy adult takes around 20,000 breaths each day, yet most barely notice. We tend to think of the lungs as simply taking air in and air out. But their role reaches much further. They touch energy, immunity, elimination, resilience and even how we meet the world around us. Perhaps it’s time we gave them a little more attention.Breath:...

Could Caricol® Gastro Support Reflux Symptoms During a Clinically Supervised Reduction in PPI Use?

In the past decade, I’ve witnessed an increasing number of clients taking PPIs and then having difficulty in stopping them. They were originally intended for short term use only, but now I have clients who have been on these drugs for years. Therefore, any natural remedy which can support the process of coming off PPIs with the least amount of symptoms and rebound acid reflux episodes is very welcome. Not just in the UK but in many countries, interest in appropriate proton pump inhibitor (PPI) use...

PMOS (Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome), a Functional Approach.

Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome (PMOS) is the newly defined term for the condition previously known as Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), following a global consensus published in The Lancet in May 2026. The updated terminology reflects a broader and more accurate understanding of the condition as a complex, multisystem disorder, rather than an isolated ovarian condition. The previous term ‘PCOS’ has been recognised as misleading, as it implies the presence of ovarian cysts, which are...

Thyroid Health Through a Whole‑Systems Lens

Thyroid health through a whole‑systems lens The thyroid gland may be small, like a butterfly tucked in the neck, but it packs a punch in keeping you energised, at a healthy weight, and feeling good overall. When it works right, you barely notice it. But if it’s underactive (hypofunction) or overactive (hyperfunction), life can feel out of whack. In this blog, we will break it down simply: what it does, common issues such as hypo and hyper thyroid, factors that can influence it and practical...

Skin, Hair & Nails: Beauty From Within

Glowing skin, strong, healthy hair and resilient nails are often seen as cosmetic goals, something to be fixed externally. Yet these tissues are among the fastest renewing in the body, making them especially sensitive to nutrition, digestion, hormone balance, stress and sleep. Hair follicles and nail-forming cells require a constant supply of nutrients, oxygen and hydration. When internal systems are under strain, changes in hair texture, shedding or brittle nails often appear alongside...

Nutritional strategies to support seasonal allergy symptoms

Seasonal allergies are no longer a minor inconvenience for a small subset of the population. Allergic rhinitis, more commonly known as hay fever, now affects a substantial proportion of adults and children in the UK, with prevalence continuing to rise year on year. In recent research around 49% of people reported suffering with hay fever symptoms.[i] Beyond the familiar sneezing, itchy eyes and nasal congestion, hay fever is associated with poor sleep, daytime fatigue, reduced concentration and impaired...

Endometriosis and functional medicine: Evidence‑informed insights for clinical practice

Endometriosis affects approximately 10–15% of women of reproductive age and remains one of the most challenging chronic inflammatory conditions encountered in women’s health practice. Characterised by the presence of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterine cavity, it is an oestrogen-dependent, immune-modulated and inflammatory disorder associated with chronic pelvic pain, infertility and significant quality-of-life burden. Although conventional management, including...

Exploring the Connection Between Visceral Fat and Alzheimer’s Disease: A Comprehensive Review

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a growing global health issue, exacerbated by aging populations and a lack of definitive treatments.[1] Recent studies, including those by Dolatshahi et al. (2024), have highlighted a potential link between visceral fat and AD. This emerging association suggests that addressing modifiable metabolic risk factors could play a critical role in mitigating Alzheimer’s risk. Accumulation of visceral fat in midlife, particularly in the 40s and 50s, may indicate underlying brain...

The Gut-Brain Connection: Advancing Health Through Nutrition

Recent scientific discoveries have unveiled a profound link between gut health and brain function, positioning dietary choices and gastrointestinal well-being at the forefront of overall health.[1] This connection is particularly significant in two areas: the use of probiotics for digestive health[2] and the application of neuronutrition in stroke recovery[3]. Probiotics and the Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor A groundbreaking study published in Foods has shed light on how probiotics influence gut health...

Inhibit Il-11 and live longer?

A study in Nature in July 2024[1], raised the idea that blocking the interleukin 11 (IL-11) by using an IL-11 antibody could be a proposition for a healthy increase in lifespan, based on the outcomes in their experimental mouse subjects. As you would expect, IL-11 has a role in the induction and promotion of inflammation an underlying defensive mechanism that is amplified as we age and release more damaged proteins and other molecules in what is known as sterile inflammation. This soup of cellular...
