It’s not only the loud punchy colours in your salad that deliver health benefits, did you know ARTICHOKE hearts contain chemicals that reduce nausea, gut spasms and gas? These chemicals also lower cholesterol and support the liver.

Lunch for the wise 🤓 . When you’re seeking to up your nutrient intake you can’t go wrong with this approach for lunch. Whether WFH or showing up to the office, (take it in a flask), the nutrients found in bone broth are seriously gut healing, very digestible and the addition of colourful veg supplies vitamins, flavonoids, antioxidants and minerals. Your gut will love this and frankly - that sandwich you were planning doesn’t cut it in comparison!

More like a scone than bread, but riddled with finely chopped leeks and grated cheese and quite simply delicious! Would work very well with a French onion soup - DM me if you’d like the recipe - very easy to make -

When you find those extra (large) end of season courgettes hidden under dying leaves in the veg patch . . . Make CHUTNEY! I spiced this one up with some fresh root ginger and cinnamon.
-
Cinnamon has polyphenol antioxidants and helps with blood sugar management, whilst ginger is anti inflammatory, and great for those stiff joints.

There was such a powerful aroma of Rosemary that hit me as this pud’ came out the oven! An upside down pudding with pears that have turned a warm caramel colour from using a mix of brown sugars with the butter. (Sorry if those two words make you wince, but wickedly delicious desserts will always be on a celebratory menu here . . .😋), and including a herb like Rosemary not only adds surprising layers of aroma and flavour, there are health benefits too . . .
-
The herb Rosemary contains two polyphenols: Carnasol and Rosemarinic acid, that support and interact with the central nervous system. Research has shown they promote cerebral blood flow, stimulating cognition and memory function, by exerting nerve protective activity. Small, regular doses of these polyphenols proved optimal for achieving these results.
-
So several sprigs were finely chopped and added to the flour/ground almond mix too.
PS: Eating puddings occasionally, in moderation, i.e. once or twice a week as a treat, should not induce guilt!

My clinic has recently seen a steady flow of young

My clinic has recently seen a steady flow of young women seeking help with their diagnoses of Polycystic Ovaries (PCOS). Several have been classic ‘insulin-resistant’ cases of PCOS, requiring dietary intervention, but one was actually an inflammation induced case and another was simply a loss of ovulation and menstruation from being hyperactive and underweight. A case of Hypothalamic Amenorrhea rather than PCOS in fact.
-
Yes, they all revealed polycystic ovaries on an ultrasound scan and showed clinical signs of raised androgens (facial acne and excess body hair), but there are crucial differences, for one - fasting insulin will always be low in cases of Hypothalamic Amenorrhea. These cases will require the opposite dietary interventions: more food and less exercise.
-
Finding the underlying CAUSE of polycystic ovaries and loss of periods is key to their successful restoration. Click the link in my bio to read the full article that summarises and differentiates the 4 causes of PCOS.
