Did you know that in 1934, three scientists—George H. Whipple, George R. Minot, and William P. Murphy—were awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine for discovering that a diet rich in liver could cure pernicious anaemia? Their groundbreaking work transformed a previously fatal disease into a treatable condition.
Liver is a powerhouse of bioavailable nutrients that your body readily absorbs:

Vitamin B12 – Essential for energy production and nervous system health
Folate – Vital for DNA synthesis and cell repair
Iron – Crucial for oxygen transport in the blood
Copper – Supports iron metabolism and cardiovascular health
Vitamin A – Important for vision, immune function, and reproduction
Forget the lab-made pills—this is real nourishment, straight from nature. 💪

🦴 Our ancestors prized liver. Maybe it’s time we did too.

🧂 Salt Isn’t the Enemy
We’ve been told to fear salt — but our ancestors valued it so highly, they were paid in it.
(Salary = from the Latin salarium, meaning salt money!)

They used it to preserve food before fridges, to ferment vegetables, and to support life in every way.

So why do we suddenly think it’s dangerous?

💧 Hospitals rely on saline drips (just salt + water) to rehydrate and stabilise patients.
💬 Experts like Sally Fallon and Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride say unrefined salt is essential — especially for digestion, detoxification, and hydration.
🧠 Low-salt diets can lead to fatigue, dizziness, low mood, and mineral imbalance.

👉 Choose Celtic sea salt, Himalayan salt, or other unrefined mineral salts.
Ditch the fear. Ditch the bleached table salt.
Your body knows what it needs.

Have you ever thought about the ingredients in your clothes and bedding? 👕🛏️

We check food labels and think carefully about what we put in our bodies... but what about what we put on them?
Our skin is our largest organ. It absorbs much of what it touches.

Synthetic fibres like polyester and nylon are essentially plastics—they trap heat, chemicals and odours against your skin. 😬
Natural fibres like organic cotton, linen, wool, hemp, and silk allow your skin to breathe, regulate temperature naturally, and support better health and comfort.

And don't forget your bedding! 💤 Wool duvets, pillows and natural fibre sheets can completely transform your sleep. Your body will love you for it. ✨

Natural clothing and bedding might cost a little more upfront, but they last longer, feel better, and smell fresher—and you can find beautiful pieces secondhand too! ♻️
(Some of my favourite cashmere jumpers are from thrift shops and online treasure hunts!)

Start small. Choose one natural fibre piece next time you shop.
Your body—and the planet—will thank you. 🌎🌿

💬 I’d love to hear—have you made any swaps yet? What's your favourite natural fibre find? Let’s inspire each other! 👇

✨ Traditional skincare, the way it used to be…
Simple, nourishing, and made with beautiful tallow 💛

No synthetic fragrances, no harsh chemicals — just old-fashioned goodness that your skin recognises and loves.

Handmade with care, inspired by ancestral wisdom.
Because your skin deserves the best — not the lab-made stuff.

🧼 Have you ever tried tallow soap?

✨ I feel better at 50 than I did at 30 ✨
Sounds backwards, right? But it’s true.

At 30 I had:
❌ Bad skin
❌ Low energy
❌ Asthma
❌ Constant allergies
❌ Digestion issues

Now, at 50?
✅ Clear skin
✅ Vibrant energy
✅ No asthma
✅ No allergies
✅ A happy gut

What changed?
I stopped the green smoothies 🥬 and started unlearning so much of what I was taught. I swapped restriction and fads for real, nutrient-dense, healing foods—think meat stock, fermented foods, animal fats, and traditional nutrition wisdom.

We’ve been conditioned to believe that getting older means falling apart. “It’s just part of ageing,” I hear all the time. But I don’t buy it. Life doesn’t have to feel like a slow decline.

You can feel better with age. Stronger. More energised. Clearer. Happier. Sometimes it just takes a few powerful changes.

What does the egg truly represent?

At Easter, we celebrate eggs as a symbol of life, fertility, and new beginnings. But somewhere along the way, the real, nourishing egg was replaced with its sugary counterpart.

Traditional cultures fed eggs to those preparing for pregnancy, to new mothers, and to children — because they understood how deeply nourishing they are.

Rich in choline, cholesterol, fat-soluble vitamins, and Activator X (Vitamin K2), eggs are one of nature’s most perfect fertility foods.

They are sacred. Symbolic. Essential.

This Easter, instead of just hiding chocolate eggs, let’s celebrate the real ones — and everything they stand for.

💛 How do you enjoy your eggs? Let’s honour them together.

Walking in the sunshine ☀️ with my girl and our furry companions 🐾… the simplest medicine there is.

Sunlight on our skin, fresh air in our lungs, laughter in the air 💛 — these are the moments that feed the soul and the gut.

We talk a lot about food and healing… but light is nourishment too 🌞
It sets our circadian rhythm ⏰, lifts our mood 😊, and helps our bodies make vitamin D — essential for immunity 🛡️, strong bones 🦴, and hormonal balance ⚖️.

Nature gives us what we need. We just have to show up 🌿

Thank you, herbivores. 🙌
Pass the grass-fed butter, please ��🧈😉

#VitaminK2 #GrassFedGoodness #AncestralHealing #NourishingTraditions #WestonPrice #RealFoodWisdom

Have you ever stopped to think how clever our herbivores are? 🐄🐑🦌

They graze all day on grass rich in vitamin K1 – a form of vitamin K found in plants. But here’s the magic: their digestive systems convert that K1 into vitamin K2, the form we need to properly utilise calcium.

✨ Vitamin K2 is essential for directing calcium to the right places – like our bones and teeth – and keeping it out of places it doesn’t belong, like arteries and soft tissues. Without enough K2, calcium can do more harm than good.

This is one reason why animal fats from grass-fed animals, such as butter, cheese, liver, and egg yolks, are such nutrient powerhouses. They’re rich in this activated form of vitamin K that our bodies can actually use.

So next time you see cows or sheep peacefully chewing the cud, remember — they’re not just eating for themselves… they’re helping nourish us too. 🐄💛

Why are babies given fruits and carbs as first foods… when they NEED iron? 🤔

Babies start solids around 6 months because their iron stores are running low. But here’s the catch—breast milk is low in iron, and babies don’t even have the enzymes to digest starches properly until at least 18 months!

Yet mainstream advice still pushes rice, porridge, and fruit purées. Meanwhile, the best first foods—those actually rich in bioavailable iron—are ignored:
🥚 Egg yolks
🥩 Beef & lamb
🫀 Liver (a true superfood!)

So why aren’t these foods recommended? Outdated guidelines, fear of animal foods, and the push for convenience (hello, baby food pouches 👀). But traditional cultures got it right—babies thrive on real, nutrient-dense foods!

Time to rethink weaning! 💡✨

Gaba is the brains calming neurotransmitter - but many people are low in it.
Your body needs arachidonic acid to make GABA. It's found in animal fats.
Ditch seed oils. Bring back butter and tallow.

⏰ Daylight Saving Time = Mini Jet Lag!

This Sunday, the clocks spring forward… and your body might not love it at first. 😵‍💫 Less morning light, more artificial light at night = a confused body clock. And the effects are real:

🔥 Heart attack risk spikes by 24% on the Monday after the clock change.
💥 More car crashes, more brain fog, more stress.

Your circadian rhythm controls sleep, hormones, and digestion—but this sudden shift can feel like forced jet lag.

How to help your body adjust:
🌙 Go to bed 15 min earlier each night
☀️ Get outside for morning sunlight
📵 Ditch late-night doom scrolling (blue light = 👎)
🍷☕ Skip alcohol & coffee (they mess with sleep!)

But there’s good news! 🎉 Longer, lighter days are ahead, bringing more sunshine, more energy, and more time outdoors. 🌿☀️ Your body will thank you—once it adjusts!

From fat to fabulous! 🧼✨ Watch the magic of traditional soap-making—starting with pure animal fat, rendering it into nutrient-rich tallow, and transforming it into beautiful, skin-loving soap. Ancestral wisdom at its best! 💛 #AncestralHealing #TallowSoap #TraditionalSkills"

🤯 Feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or low? It might not be all in your head—your gut could be the real culprit! 🦠💭

Did you know around 90% of serotonin, your feel-good chemical, is made in the gut? If your gut health is off, your mood often follows. 😞➡️😃

But here’s the problem... Modern diets are packed with processed foods, seed oils, refined sugars, and additives—all of which inflame the gut and rob us of vital nutrients like magnesium, zinc, and B vitamins (essential for a calm, happy mind!).

✨ The solution? Ancestral foods. Traditional diets focused on:
🍖 Nutrient-dense meats (yes, organ meats!)
🥣 Meat stock & broth (gut-healing powerhouses)
🥬 Fermented foods (natural probiotics)
☀️ Healthy fats (not the processed kind!)

When we nourish our gut, we nourish our brain. 🌿💆‍♀️

💡 Struggling with anxiety, mood swings, or poor sleep? Whether it’s for you or your child, healing starts with the gut! I help families & individuals restore health with traditional foods & GAPS principles.

🔥 Have We Been Lied to About Seed Oils? 🔥

For decades, we’ve been told butter is bad, seed oils are healthy—but is that really true? 🤔

A new study in JAMA Internal Medicine claims seed oils aren’t harmful, and Professor Sarah Berry has backed this up. But experts like Sally Fallon, Dr. Catherine Shanahan, Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride, Zoe Harcombe, Chris Kresser, and many others strongly disagree.

🔬 The study lumps all plant oils together, treating olive oil the same as soybean, canola, corn, and safflower oils—despite their vastly different effects on health. That’s like studying "fruit consumption" by grouping fresh apples with syrupy canned fruit! 🍏🥫

⚠️ Where are the randomised controlled trials (RCTs)? As Zoe Harcombe points out, observational studies like this can be misleading—RCTs consistently show that industrial seed oils aren’t the health food they’re marketed to be.

🌱 We’ve been told for decades that seed oils are better than animal fats—just like we were told to swap butter for margarine, and steak for dry chicken breast. We know how that turned out!

🥩 Ancestral fats like butter, tallow, ghee, lard, and extra virgin olive oil have nourished humans for generations. Industrial seed oils? Not so much.

🔍 Follow the experts, not the food industry.

💬 What do you think? Have you cut seed oils out of your diet?

Spring is coming! ��🌼❄️ The snowdrops and daffodils are popping up, and it won’t be long before we’re soaking up more warmth and energy. Make the most of the sunshine this week—get outside, top up on some vitamin D, and enjoy it!

For every one molecule of sugar you consume, your body burns through 56 molecules of magnesium just to process it! And with magnesium involved in over 600 essential reactions—like energy production, sleep, and stress management—it's no wonder so many of us feel exhausted and anxious.

Are we really magnesium deficient… or just drowning in sugar? 🤔

📱 Worried about EMFs?

Not all phones are created equal when it comes to radiation exposure. The SAR (Specific Absorption Rate) measures how much radiation your body absorbs from your device, and some models are far lower than others.

If you're looking to minimise exposure, check out this list of phones with the lowest SAR ratings 👉 https://emfacademy.com/lowest-radiation-cell-phones/

🚨 Aspartame: The Hidden Danger to Your Health! 🚨

A recent study from Cell Metabolism has revealed that aspartame, the sweetener lurking in many sugar-free products, is linked to serious damage to your vascular health. 🩸💥
This toxic ingredient is not just a “calorie-free” sweetener—it’s now been shown to harm your blood vessels and increase your risk for cardiovascular disease. Your “diet” soda could be doing more harm than good. 😱
Don’t let aspartame put your health at risk. It’s time to ditch the fake sugars and choose real, wholesome food instead! 🌿

Love Your Gallbladder? Feed It Fat! 🧈🥩

Did you know that gallbladder disease and gallstones have skyrocketed since we were told to avoid animal fats? 🤯 Our ancestors, who thrived on traditional diets rich in butter, lard, and organ meats, rarely suffered from these issues.

🔹 The gallbladder stores and releases bile, which is essential for digesting fats. But when we skimp on healthy fats—especially saturated animal fats—our bile becomes sluggish and thick, increasing the risk of stones. 🪨
🔹 Processed vegetable oils, low-fat diets, and refined carbs wreak havoc on bile flow, leading to poor digestion and deficiencies in fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K. 🚫🌿🥯
🔹 Traditional diets studied by Dr. Weston A. Price were rich in nourishing fats that kept digestion strong, bile flowing, and gallbladders happy! 😊🥩

✅ Support your gallbladder by:
🥩 Eating plenty of pastured animal fats
🥚 Including egg yolks for choline, which helps bile flow
🥒 Consuming fermented foods to aid digestion
🚫 Ditching seed oils and processed foods

If you’ve been struggling with sluggish digestion, bloating, or gallbladder pain, it could be time to rethink what you’ve been told about fats! 🤔💡

Science is Finally Catching Up… Your Gut Does Control Your Brain! 🦠🧠

Did you know that your gut bacteria could be playing a huge role in anxiety? 🧠➡️🦠 A fascinating study from Duke-NUS Medical School found that mice without gut microbes showed higher anxiety levels and overactive brain cells in the amygdala—the part of the brain that processes fear and emotions.

https://www.duke-nus.edu.sg/newshub/media-releases/media-releases/gut-microbes-role-in-anxiety?utm_source=chatgpt.com

But here’s the exciting part… these effects were reversed when beneficial bacteria were restored! ✨ Scientists discovered that gut bacteria produce indoles, which help keep brain cells calm by regulating special proteins (SK channels). Without enough indoles, neurons fire too much, leading to anxious behaviour.

🔹 What does this mean for you?
Your gut health is directly linked to your mental well-being! Poor diet, antibiotics, and modern lifestyles can damage the gut microbiome, making anxiety worse. But the good news? You can support your gut-brain connection through food and lifestyle changes. 🥦🍖

💡 If you struggle with anxiety, brain fog, or mood swings, it might not just be “in your head”—it could be in your gut! As a Nutritional Therapist & GAPS Practitioner, I help clients heal their gut microbiome, bringing balance to both body and mind. 💚

🦠 The Power of Good Bacteria – A Wrap-Up! 🦠
Over my last few posts, we’ve explored the incredible world of beneficial bacteria – the tiny microbes that keep our gut, immune system, and even our mood in check. From Lactobacillus acidophilus aiding digestion to Bacillus subtilis providing soil-based resilience, these microbes are vital for good health.

But here’s the thing… modern life depletes them. Antibiotics, processed foods, stress, and lack of traditional fermented foods all take a toll on our microbiome. The good news? You can rebuild it! 🌱

💡 Simple ways to support your microbiome:
🥛 Enjoy fermented dairy like kefir and raw yogurt
🥬 Eat fermented vegetables like sauerkraut and kimchi
🌾 Choose properly prepared grains (sourdough, soaked, or sprouted)
🛑 Reduce processed foods that harm gut flora
🧑‍🌾 Spend time in nature and gardens (soil microbes matter too!)

Our ancestors thrived on a diet rich in probiotics and gut-friendly foods. Are you giving your microbiome the same care?

💬 Let me know—what’s your favourite way to support your gut? And if you need personalised guidance, I’m here to help!

#MicrobiomeMatters #GutHealth #AncestralHealing #FermentedFoods #GoodBacteria

🦠 Bacillus subtilis – The Soil-Based Probiotic! 🦠
Last but not least, Bacillus subtilis is a soil-based probiotic that supports:
✔️ Detoxification by breaking down toxins in the gut
✔️ Resilience against infections and harmful bacteria
✔️ A stronger immune system and gut lining

Traditionally, we got B. subtilis from soil-covered vegetables and fermented soy (natto), but modern food washing and processing have reduced our exposure.

💬 Do you eat organic or homegrown veggies for extra soil-based probiotics?

#SoilMicrobiome #BacillusSubtilis #GutHealth #AncestralHealing

I wish I’d known sooner… Tooth and jaw development starts long before the first tooth appears! The right nutrition from pregnancy onwards helps create strong teeth and wide jaws—reducing the need for braces, fillings, and overcrowding later on.

Don’t make the mistake I did—give your baby the best start with nutrient-dense foods early on. It makes a world of difference! 🦷✨

#AncestralHealing #WestonAPrice #StrongTeeth

🦠 Enterococcus faecalis & Enterococcus faecium – The Di#guthealthmatters

These probiotic strains are great for breaking down food and producing essential enzymes. They help:

🦠 Bifidobacterium bifidum – The Immune System Booster! 🦠

Bifidobacterium bifidum is one of the first bacteria we get at birth and helps:
✔️ Strengthen the gut barrier to prevent infections
✔️ Break down complex carbs and fibre
✔️ Support immune function, reducing allergies and inflammation
✔️ Promote a balanced microbiome

You can nourish this strain through fermented dairy, raw dairy, and breast milk (for babies!). It’s especially important for a healthy gut from infancy onwards!

💬 Ever wondered why gut health starts at birth?

#MicrobiomeHealth #BifidobacteriumBifidum #GutImmuneConnection #AncestralHealing

🦠 Lactobacillus rhamnosus – The Resilient Gut Defender! 🦠
Next up is Lactobacillus rhamnosus, a probiotic known for its resilience and gut-healing powers:
✔️ Strengthens the gut lining and reduces leaky gut
✔️ Helps digestion and nutrient absorption
✔️ Crowds out harmful bacteria and yeasts like Candida
✔️ Boosts mood and reduces anxiety (your gut talks to your brain!)

You’ll find L. rhamnosus in fermented dairy like kefir and yogurt. It’s also great for preventing traveller’s diarrhoea and antibiotic-related gut issues.

💬 Have you noticed a difference in your digestion or mood since adding fermented foods?

#GutHealth #MicrobiomeMatters #LactobacillusRhamnosus #AncestralHealing

🦠 Lactobacillus acidophilus – The Gut’s First Line of Defence! 🦠
Meet Lactobacillus acidophilus, one of the most well-known friendly bacteria! This tiny powerhouse helps:
✔️ Break down lactose, making dairy easier to digest
✔️ Produce B vitamins, essential for energy and brain health
✔️ Keep harmful bacteria in check, reducing gut infections
✔️ Support a healthy immune system

Find it in kefir, yogurt, sauerkraut, and fermented vegetables! Modern diets can deplete this essential bacteria, so traditional fermented foods are key.

💬 Do you include fermented foods in your daily routine? Let’s chat in the comments!

#MicrobiomeMatters #GutHealth #AncestralHealing #GoodBacteria

🌱 Meet Your Microbial Allies! 🌱
