Gliadin mimics thyroid tissue which results in your immune system targeting and destroying thyroid tissue, leading to autoimmune thyroid disease. Which eventually disables your thyroid and impacts your metabolism.

Many women experience emotional, physical, and physiological changes which are most often for the worse. The only benefit women have expressed to me is that their terrible life long periods have finally come to an end.

He was working late on Saturday night, I was out with friends and had a beautiful dinner; I got to bed around 11pm, which is way way past my bed time (normally in bed by 830pm kind of gal), and for some bizarre reason slept right through to Sunday at 10am.

I often wonder if some of us are born with it and others just naturally lack it. I always used to think I had ‘no’ patience. Was it missing from my genetic makeup? Was it the way I was brought up? I’d get so impatient as a child

I tend to recommend green smoothies to a lot of my clients, due to them being healthy, nutritious, easy, and tasty. Recently, however, I am getting a few frustrated emails from clients wanting something different.

In case you hadn't noticed, there is so much emphasis on diets right now, and their impact on heart health. You might be feeling overwhelmed, should you eat low fat? High protein? No fruit? Eat vegan? Omit soy? Take statins? How do you know who and what to believe?

I was chatting with a friend today who is desperate to give up smoking, so I thought this is the perfect subject for a blog as we enter into 2016. It’s well into the festive season.

Smoking introduces toxins into the body that undermine your overall health and decrease your immune system’s capacity to respond to other threats.

We are all so different, as such we require different amounts of macronutrients. I have been asked so many times about the PERFECT green smoothie combo, so last week on my ‘Weight loss Wednesday’s” periscope channel I showed my audience what I normally pop into my smoothies.

When I talk about cleansing, I refer to a natural way in which your body removes waste and other harmful toxins. Many think of a cleanse as being rigorous, hard work, or intense. When in fact, the best cleanse uses whole-foods and detoxifying substances to enhance your body’s natural detoxification pathways.

This week I discuss macronutrients and the impact your body type has on the amount of macronutrients you need to consume for optimal health and weight loss..... You'll also find out why low carb doesn't work for everyone!

So I made the jump and started using Periscope, this was a huge one for me, as the live streaming really freaked me out (still does). The great thing about Periscope versus other social media platforms like Facebook or Twitter, is that it is live – in real time. You can ask me anything you want and it is there for the world to see. This concept makes it super fun and really interactive.
