I’ve been meaning to write this for a while now, and with more questions coming up in clinic, it feels overdue. You’ve probably heard about the latest weight-loss drugs like Wegovy and Ozempic, which have been a major health story in 2024. These injections mimic a natural hormone (GLP-1) that helps control appetite and blood sugar, tricking the body into feeling full and slowing digestion.

The glorious weather along the Sunshine coast spurred me to write this newsletter with a focus on vitamin D.

1 in every 4 of UK adults suffer with heartburn, if this is getting you down you are not alone.  Digestion issues and reflux are so common.

A very special client inspired me to write this newsletter, we have known each other since childhood and as a yoga teacher she prioritizes good health (I admit not so much in our teens, but that is for another time).  However, she recently came to me with unexplained fatigue, she described how she suddenly had to drag herself through the day.  After putting all the pieces of the puzzle together, symptoms and test results, she has discovered she has an autoimmune condition called Hashimoto’s disease.  Having caught this early and focusing on supporting her thyroid through diet and lifestyle she has the best chance possible of feeling like her old self again and preventing further damage to her thyroid gland.
