Baked Apple (well grilled really)
Warming up my breakfast… I like to have Greek yogurt with fruit, homemade granola, brazil nuts & kefir for my breakfast. I am getting my protein, fats, carbs, fiber, and ferments all in the first meal of the day… BUT I live in Scotland, and November is cold and damp… according to Ayurveda and Traditional […]

My Soup Challenge
I was listening to a doctor talk about one of her patients who turned his health around by including a smoothie every day that had 57 different ingredients in it. He would go to the farmers market and buy whatever was in season, put it together in batches and make it up daily. He went […]
Basic Pilates Moves for back pain
Back pain can be breathtaking (not in a good way) and immobilising.

How do you deal with anxiety?
I returned to the gym last week after 3 years away (and it’s probably been 4 or 5 years since I was there to exercise due to my ongoing health roller-coaster!). It wasn’t an impulse decision to go back. I had been toying with the idea since July – but didn’t want to be indoors […]
Mobility for neck pain
If you have neck and upper back pain, there are a couple of things you might be doing that aggravate it… Do you walk leading with your head rather than your heart? Do you spend a lot of time on your mobile phone or tablet, on a computer, reading a book, or just generally looking […]
Potato and leek soup
Nourishing your body is essential for better health. Gut microbiome research is coming on leaps and bounds over the last few years. The best ways to improve gut health is eating fermented foods (like the recipes I have shared in previous weeks) and increasing fiber diversity, aiming for at least 30 different sources each week. […]
