It’s funny how resistant people can be to organic food, thinking it’s not much different to non organic food. Well I beg to differ. In my latest article for Natural Health magazine I look at the pros and cons. I’ve been walking the organic path for a long time now and in the early days it was a lonely one …
I was thrilled and honoured to be a judge at the International Natural Health & Beauty Awards which took place last week. I was given the task of trying out serums which I was very happy about as I love a serum. And oh boy, did they give me a lot to try out! A few months ago a huge …
I’m always trying out new products for Ageless and many of them fall by the wayside gathering dust if I’m not enthused about them. However in the last few weeks I’ve found some new ones that I absolutely love and have become firm favourites. So of course I have to share these with you. First of all I’m really loving …
The subject of this article (first published in Natural Health magazine) is a very important aspect of my book The In-Sync Diet written with nutritionist Fleur Borelli.

Osteoporosis is a real risk for most women and can have profound and debilitating effects. We’ve always been told to take calcium supplements as a preventative measure but it turns out it’s not quite as simple as that. In fact just taking calcium on it’s own can have an adverse effect. It would seem that it’s more beneficial to take …
Every dermatologist I’ve ever spoken to is adamant that we should all be wearing an SPF all year round. I did this for many years but in recent years I must confess I’ve let it slide. I mean I live in England for heavens’ sake. The winter is long and the skies are too often grey. And what about this …
Exercising is a beautiful gift to yourself. I know it doesn’t always seem that way and it just seems easier not to do it sometimes, but like all good things in life, it’s a discipline. And a little discipline can go a long way. If you want hard evidence that people who are active age better, just look at how …
I have to confess that I find January to March the toughest time of the year. The winter is a long gloomy one here in the UK and it’s really hard to stay upbeat, energetic and glowing with health. It’s very tempting to stay home in baggy pants and eat comfort food. And yes, I’m just like everyone else when …
They say that men are the worst patients, but I have to admit that in my house, it’s me. My son is positively stoical and my husband, happy as he is to grab sympathy wherever he can get it, is pretty matter of fact when ill. I, on the other hand, literally think I’m going to die at the first …

By making a few adjustments it’s entirely possible to start the new year not feeling that you need to go on a massive diet!
Anyone who reads my posts knows that I love Collagen Shots. No, not the needle version but the fabulous powder mixed with water version. Crammed full of all kinds of healthy goodness, it’s marine collagen works wonders. I watched in awe as first my nails grew faster and stronger and then how my eyelashes thickened. Next was my skin and I’ve …
Vitamin D has became widely recognised as crucial to our health after it turned out many people were deficient due to the wide spread use of sunblocks and/or avoidance of the sun. Now the next supplement getting lots of attention is magnesium. I discovered it a few years ago when it was suggested to me that it would help relax …
