Over the last few years, the immense significance of the gut has been more understood. It’s often referred to as the “second brain” as it’s now known to contain as many neurotransmitters as the brain, if not more. The gut has a significant effect on our mental wellbeing It also holds great importance for our immunity. If you are prone …
I am an enthusiastic supplement taker and am convinced that supplements have hugely benefited my health. Today I look at a new brand of supplements called DoSe, the same company that does amazing skincare products at very affordable prices. In the video below I show the four supplements I’ve been trialling and I’m extremely impressed with them all. Magnesium Complex …
I’ve been an avid supplement taker for many years and believe it’s stood in me in very good stead. I have to confess, however, that I take a LOT of them and it’s cost me a small fortune over the years. I always intend to reduce the amount I take, but then I’ll read something about a vitamin I’m not …
Earlier this year, we all started using the supplement Berberine in our house. I’d heard about it’s incredible benefits for years, as it lowers blood glucose and has a similar effect as the medication Metformin, which is given to diabetics. My husband was concerned about his blood sugar levels and I wanted to shift a few pounds. We both decided …
They say that only two things in life are certain…death and taxes. But they are wrong. There’s a third one. Hormones! Remember puberty? Hormonal twenties? Period hormonal mood swings which vary from mild to murderous? And then…..drum roll…..there’s the menopause. It’s a never ending cycle and that’s a fact. When it comes to the menopause there is, of course, HRT. …
I’m often asked to share what supplements I take. Now, I do love a supplement, so probably take a LOT more than you would want to. With that in mind, I’m only going to list the ones that I think are essential, especially as we go into winter when immunity is a bit lower and viruses are everywhere. Supplements can …
There’s a non-essential (meaning your body can make it) amino acid called glycine, that has some staggering benefits. However, as with so many things, as we age, our body is unable to make enough of it. And you definitely don’t want that to happen. Even though I’m a strong believer and taker of supplements, I didn’t know much about glycine …
Would you be surprised if I told you that the top 3 products for your skin are supplements rather than creams? I’ve spoken before about how I, personally, would take Rejuvenated’s Collagen Shots over any skin product, as it works from the inside out. Collagen Shots helps to maintain collagen levels These deplete rapidly with age, affecting so many things, …
As we all know, levels of everything decline with age, from collagen to the ability to absorb nutrients to the ability of the body to mop up all the debris from inter cellular activity. But what if there was a supplement that worked at a cellular level to give cells the energy they need to carry out all their activities …
As if there wasn’t enough to worry about, now there’s inflammaging. Or rather the low grade inflammation which causes ageing and also disease. As we age this becomes quite common and all sorts of health issues begin to appear, as well as lines and wrinkles setting in. This is one of the many reasons why an anti-inflammatory diet is key. This was one of the main …
There’s no good time to have unsightly veins on your legs but summertime in particular, it can be quite demoralising. Sometimes varicose veins are very prominent and require medical attention, but other times they can just be dark looking veins that aren’t raised but still enough to make you self conscious. I myself have a few of these lurking on …
I’ve always been a great believer in supplements for maintaining optimum health and if ever there was a time to start taking them, surely that time is now.
