I’ve been an avid supplement taker for many years and believe it’s stood in me in very good stead.

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. …
This week the tables were turned and I was the one being interviewed. Elissa Corrigan, the founder of Elle Sera (the golden supplement) wanted to talk health, ageing and career with me. I’ll be doing a follow up interview with her as well in a few weeks, to learn all about her amazing supplement. We had a great time, as …

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.

We tend to think of collagen as connected only with skin, hair and nails. However, collagen is the glue that holds everything together throughout the body. It’s probably the most important component of our biology. The surprising fact is that our collagen starts to diminish in our twenties By the time we reach our forties, this depletion really starts to …
I do love my daily cupaccino. In fact it’s one of the things I most look forward to in my day ( the simple pleasures and all that ). However I have a very up and down relationship with the caffeine in coffee. The amount of caffeine in coffee is much higher than in tea The caffeine in tea, green …
