Metabolic disaster! Little did I know that my so called healthy eating and workout practices were slowly destroying my body.

Since diving into circadian and quantum biology, I stepped away from the gym, reconnected with nature, and let go of everything I’d been taught about health. By tuning into the rhythms of light, the Earth, and my own intuition, I completely healed my hormone imbalances and chronic iron deficiency—without a single supplement or medication

🧠💥 Did you know your gut makes its own melatonin independent of the pineal gland and is not just used for sleep?

Yep, your digestive system produces loads of melatonin (way more than your brain!), and it actually increases at night 🌙

So while your brain’s melatonin helps you fall asleep, your gut’s melatonin is busy:
💧 counterbalancing acid production
🛡️ Protecting your stomach lining
🌿 Supporting healing + digestion

Your gut has its own circadian rhythm — and it’s working overtime while you rest 😴

✨ Tip: A healthy night routine = better gut balance + less midnight acid.

—

💬 Ever felt heartburn at night and didn’t know why? The this could be why

🔁 Save this to remember your gut’s nighttime superpower!

One thing that gets me about the quantum biology space of that many experts state you have to follow a keto style diet.

While I understand that this might be helpful for some, healing for others, for me keto was a metabolic disaster.

My take on nutrition is that we should just eat what makes us feel good and perform better so I am staying away from the dogma of diets on my page but sharing the foods that make me feel good.

What makes more sense to me is sourcing food that is native to the country you live in that has grown in the conditions of the environment you live so I am trying more to source and eat foods that I grow, forage or can source in the uk - I’m not always perfect as you can see but perfect is not something I am trying to achieve

Waking up with the sun changed everything. I’m 48 and 2 years ago my cycle was chaotic, periods heavy, and I was deep in chronic anaemia. I was told by friends and medics that I was perimenopausal— but HRT wasn’t the path I wanted. So I turned to nature.

Sunrises became my daily reset button and I see morning light every day. By aligning with natural light and resetting my circadian rhythm, I gave my body a chance to rebalance. This isn’t just wellness woo — it’s quantum biology:

Sunlight hits your eyes + skin → signals your suprachiasmatic nucleus → regulates melatonin, cortisol, oestrogen, and even iron metabolism. Light is information. And your hormones are listening.

Sunlight in Your Salad? 🌿💡 Did you know plants capture sunlight during photosynthesis, then quietly re-emit some of that light as biophotons – ultra-weak light particles all living cells give off? It’s true: all food emits tiny light signals, and our gut may even be built to read this light!

Think of fruits and veggies as packaged sunshine: when you eat them, you’re not just getting calories – you’re ingesting light-encoded information.

✨ According to quantum biology, food is information and energy. Our cells run on electrons energized by photons (light) from the sun. In fact, every food’s electrons carry a seasonal light imprint from when and where it grew

. 🍓🌽 That means seasonal foods communicate seasonal signals to your body. Summer produce (think juicy berries and tomatoes) grows under long, intense sun and carries that high-energy light code. Winter foods (like hearty squash or kale) develop in low-light, cooler conditions – a different code. Eating according to the seasons gives your body clear signals: “It’s summer, days are long!” or “Winter’s here, conserve energy.”

⏳ Why does this matter? Because your gut microbes and infradian rhythms love clear signals. Your microbiome use light cues to tune metabolism, and hormone release and much more. Biophotonic signals from seasonal foods might fine-tune this clock.

🕰️ For example, summer’s light-packed carbs can boost metabolism when days are long, while winter’s fats and proteins support you during darker months

. Over time, this quantum nutrition approach may support hormone balance (think steadier cortisol and melatonin cycles) and overall vitality.

🌱 Spring foods in the UK Sprouts, asparagus, radish, leafy greens, – early-season growth packed with the fresh light of lengthening days, signaling renewal and ramped-up energy.

Great live yesterday

Informal discussion on the latest findings in gut microbiome research in the post COVID era

Sorry if this all sounds too simple but don’t you think the healthcare space has got a little too complicated.

I was sent a PowerPoint today from a meeting that was given on strategies to support chronic illness and it was full of recommendations for dangerous supplements, pseudoscience MLM products and expensive devices to help you structure water and get infra red light.

I would say that unless you are 100% bedbound the single most important thing you can do is get outside - simple…

Why I stopped recommending vitamin D supplements
Vitamin D is not a vitamin it is a hormone in the steroid family. Vitamin D supplementation comes in the form of cholecalciferol. The blood test that the supposedly mesaures vitamin D is in its inactive (useless form). Positive effects of cholecalciferol supplementation can be attributed to its steroid (immune suppressive) actions on the body.
Vitamin D toxicity is real in clinical practice

I’ve burned out in a gym doing all the exercise routines!!
I’ve burned out doing the latest fad diet that is touted as the healthiest yet!
I’ve burned out with biohacking!!
I’ve burned out with following nutrition and lifestyle gurus and I am done!!

Health when you don’t have it is not easy to get back if you try and implement all the crap on the internet - but health is easier to get back if you go back to basics. Will gardening improve my longevity and make me live to 100? I really don’t know or even care, the fact is this is what I love and this is what has made me feel good over everything else I have done.

Nature, sun, outdoors, soil, natural food, slowing down, family, friends, community

Garden update!

Without healthy soil vegetables and herbs won’t grow at their best - I was really disappointed that my second vegetable patch was loaded with roots and the compost hadn’t actually composted properly due to lack of ventilation and not getting hot enough.

So re-distributed what we had and restarted the compost bin (with a bit more strategy), the plan is to dig out veg patch 2 sift the soil and put something down to prevent the roots growing up through it - if you have any ideas let me know in the comments.

Friendly reminder to quit the doom scrolling in the evenings and connect with real life

There are a million and one other things you can do with your precious time on this earth ❤️💕💙

🎥 Artificial Light vs. Natural Light: What You Need to Know 🌞💡
✨ Natural Light:
* Daylight (noon): Packed with a full spectrum of colours, supporting daytime metabolism and keeping you energised, motivated and HEALTHY
* Sunset: Rich in reds as blue/green light fades, signalling your body to produce melatonin for restful sleep.
* We need more natural light in our lives to support our metabolism and tell our cells what time of day it is.
✨ Artificial Light:
* Fluorescent Lighting: ⚠️ High in green light, low in warm spectrums. ⚠️ Flickers, which can strain your eyes and cause fatigue. ⚠️ Faulty coatings can leak harmful UV rays.
* Incandescent Lighting: 🌅 Mimics sunset light with warm, melatonin-friendly spectrums. 😡 Being banned, due to climate change - despite being healthier for your circadian rhythm!
* Cool White LED Lighting: 🚨 High in BLUE light, low in red, this is the worse type of lighting for the home, especially at nighttime when they are used the most – this light spectrum disrupts body clocks and suppresses melatonin production but overall metabolism and disrupts the female hormone cycle. 👎 Not a great choice for your home.
* Warm White LED Lighting: ✅ Lower in blue, richer in red spectrums. ✅ A more circadian-friendly option for better sleep and health!
🌟 The Solution?
* Choose circadian-friendly lighting to protect your sleep and well-being.
* If using LEDs, switch to Warm White bulbs—they’re better for your body and your home.
* Check out www.blockbluelight.co.uk (I don’t use affiliate links)
💡 Light affects everything from your energy levels to your hormones—so choose wisely! 🕯️🌅
🎬 What’s your lighting setup like? Share your thoughts below! 👇

Many people are under unopposed blue light for most of the day and most of the night.

This is a major problem for many people’s metabolic health because blue light drives up cortisol, prevents melatonin from working so already you can see how weight gain, inflammation and diabetes can start without even adding food into the mix.

When it comes to mast cells there is plenty of evidence now that exposure to artificial light and low level radiation from EMF’s can contribute to MCAS and this is something that is completely missed in mainstream health care.

My courses cover everything you need to know about these topics however I will be sharing more in substack YouTube and on here

What do I mean when I say “charge your internal battery pack”

Did you know that our body is able to make energy over and above that of the mitochondria.

Our body has an inbuilt battery pack called plasma that lines pretty much everywhere in the body.

Negatively charged plasma or exclusion zone water creates energy by storing charge from light or other electromagnetic sources, which can be used to drive biochemical and electrical processes.

So all those biohackers talking longevity and autophagy are missing a vital piece of our quantum biology.

How do we build this plasma? See the reel

As I’ve learned more about the field of quantum biology I have gained some incredible insights, and also made great improvements to my own health.

The quantum biological principles are routed in connections and as you start to explore concepts you really get into the bones of questioning creation, the universe, ether and the force behind all that has been created.

And so again within this space so deeply routed in these principle we see a side where money can be made from people selling gadgets, biohacking tools, and supplements and it’s crazy because any benefits that would be gained can be accessed for free outside your very own front door.

To balancing electrical charges and magnetic fields to full spectrum of light it’s all there for free.

I believe that much of the chronic illnesses we see today are due to the overload of chemicals in and in our bodies and the loss of connection to our mother earth .

I don’t have multiple sclerosis
I don’t have Lyme disease
I don’t experience perimenopausal symptoms
I don’t have chronic anaemia

These are the centralised diagnoses that I have had over my lifetime that I no longer experience.

I didn’t take medicines but I took a lot of supplements but it wasn’t until I stopped focusing on my biochemistry and biochemical pathways that I dropped the supplements and headed out to heal in nature and guess what - it worked!

I have become disillusioned by the centralised powers that push on to us toxic chemicals in our foods, influencers who push unrealistic diet plans, and supplement companies making us believe our soil is depleted so we have to take chemicals to replace them!!

I work with many people with chronic illness and many don’t believe the healing powers of nature - it’s not a quick fix but it is certainly where the magic happens.

Went for a full moon dog walk with @fritzitingle and @jake7uk with my list of manifestations for 2025.

Such a beautiful night. If you want to learn more about astrology check out sidereal astrology - you may be surprised that you’ve been aligning with the wrong birth sign for all your life…and guess what? we become what we believe therefore we can get what we manifest.

There are a number of astrological events taking place this month - the best to come is the planetary parade (25th Jan) don’t miss it

Enjoy the full moon

ps. Luckily the dog didn’t go all werewolf on me 🐺

Plug in air fresheners and industry produced essential oils and things like vaporub contain many not so friendly ingredients and can be toxic for both humans and pets.

I am always looking for safer and more eco friendly alternatives to fragrances and turning to natures offerings may also come with some health benefits.

Steamed orange peel, rosemary, clove, bay leaves, star anise and eucalyptus have been used for centuries to support lung issues, support the symptoms of colds and flu and aiding with the clearance of mucous. They also contain antimicrobial compounds.

Placing these sorted herbs in water and allowing them to simmer on your stove top releases these fragrances and compounds.

I have been using this method in my kitchen to help keep my home smelling fresh and seems to be helping clear my sinuses and lungs clear

*not medical advice
*if taking meds consults practitioner before using

2024 was a year I will never forget.

Our family experienced the loss of a very special person 💙
My boys are thriving and navigating this crazy world
My little business has thrived
My special relationships have flourished and I have let go of those that haven’t
I have learn so much and have started to teach what I know.
I’ve healed from additive patterns and behaviours
Found healing in nature

I am so grateful to have been blessed with a special life and my aim for 2025 is to stay true to myself, break through fear if and when it comes up and serve those who continue to want to learn from me.

Looking forward to whatever 2025 has in store

HAPPY NEW YEAR
It’s probably time for me to do an introduction to my instagram as it is now the start of the New Year, which is always my favourite time of year🎉

I am now in my 15th year as a naturopath and nutritionist and in that time have dedicated many hours on enhancing my skills and knowledge as well as earning my Masters in Personalised Nutrition. Since 2020, it has been an incredibly humbling experience working with some of the most complex cases I have ever seen - and in that time I’ve learned that true healing isn’t found in expensive supplements or complex protocols. 🌿

The real solution? And the one that gets the best results is getting back to basics. Sun on your skin. Fresh air in your lungs. Bare feet on the earth. Clean water. Real food. 🌱

While I’ve worked with leading UK doctors and tackled the most complex chronic illness cases, my biggest revelation has been this: we’ve overcomplicated health. We’re stuck indoors, disconnected from nature, and searching for quick fixes that don’t exist. 🌍

I’m here to help you reconnect with what’s real - practical, down-to-earth wisdom about natural living, supporting the body’s natural healing ability, growing your own food, learning about healing plants, foraging and understanding what’s really in your supplements, food, personal hygiene and home products. 🌿

I want to help simplify the healthcare space and show you that small, daily choices lead to real changes and lasting results. 💚

‼️There is something going on in the world of nutrition and that is the heavy reliance on supplements. A multi billion pound industry that has close ties into big pharma…

The longer I research and gain insights into blood work, hair analysis and organic acids the more I am turning away from the use of supplements in clinical practice - especially when they start to become dangerous or cause “unknowing” side effects.

I am seeing the fallout of vitamin d poisoning in my clinic with new clients presenting with high calcium and phosphate levels directly related to cholecalciferol (vitamin D) supplements.

In my opinion supplements are the same as medications, both chemicals that effect the body - functional medicine is the same as big pharma, both use the diagnosis / treatment model in clinic and correct imbalances using chemicals.

The list of supplements people come to me with is quite frankly disturbing and is something I am advocating for change on.

✨ Debunking the Collagen Craze & Exploring Quantum Insights ✨

Did you know that collagen supplements might not be as magical as they seem? Despite the hype, consuming collagen doesn’t directly boost your body’s collagen production.

Here's why:
1️⃣ Breaking it Down: Collagen supplements are essentially proteins. Once ingested, your body breaks them down into amino acids, which join the overall protein pool. Any reported benefits may come from these amino acids—supporting general protein synthesis. If collagen does happen to get absorbed it does not incorporate in our collagen network - it’s a false narrative.
2️⃣ Gut Health Connection: Some research suggests collagen may benefit gut health by supporting the intestinal lining, which could indirectly improve overall well-being.

But here’s where it gets fascinating: The Science of Collagen’s Quantum Nature.
Collagen is the framework of soft tissues and organs, and its unique properties go far beyond just being "structural."

🔬 Quantum Crystals in Collagen: Collagen contains a network of crystalline structures that play a vital role in energy transfer within the body. It acts as a piezoelectric material, meaning it generates electric charges under mechanical stress. This helps explain why movement is critical for collagen health—it activates this electrical property, supporting tissue repair and regeneration.

☀️ Infrared & Sunlight Benefits: Collagen also absorbs and interacts with infrared light (like sunlight), which can stimulate its repair and healing processes. This connection underlines the importance of natural light exposure in maintaining healthy connective tissue.

Supporting Your Collagen the Right Way: Instead of relying on supplements, focus on lifestyle practices that nurture your body's natural collagen production: 
✅ Movement
✅ Sunlight (Infra Red) ✅ Nutrition ✅ Hydration & Sleep

✨ 3 Ways to Support Your Microbiome Without Popping a Single Pill ✨💊

We often think of our gut health as something we fix with supplements, but true nourishment starts with nature.

Here’s how to reconnect and help your microbiome thrive:

1️⃣ Get Outside & Connect with Nature’s Microbiome: Dirt, plants, fresh air—these aren’t just good for the soul, but they also feed your gut ecosystem. Walk barefoot, touch the soil, and embrace the diversity of microbes in natural environments. 🌳

2️⃣ Soak Up the Sun’s Healing Light: Natural light, especially UV and infrared rays, has profound effects on our bodies, including supporting a healthy microbiome. Step outside, let the light kiss your skin, and watch your body thank you. ☀️

3️⃣ Eat Locally Grown / produced Foods: Fresh, local produce has been created within your natural environment and contain nutrients, and photons straight from the earth. It’s fresher, richer, and kinder to your gut. Check out your local farms and shops and see what swaps to your weekly shop you can make 🍅

✨ Remember: It’s not always about what you take—it’s about how you live. Your microbiome is more connected to the environment than you might think. 🌍💚

Food is information - more than just nutrients

Structured or exclusion zone water has some great benefits in that it is structured in a way that can help to trap pollutants and other particles you don’t want floating around your body .

Structured water forms an exclusion zone that Gerald Pollack has been extensively researching in his lab.

Structured water has been a game changer since I bought it into my clinical protocols - especially for those who have MCAS and are extremely sensitive to any intervention.

Give it a go for a few weeks and let me know how you get on
