Functional Medicine for Autism Spectrum Disorders offering home test kits, meal plans and supplements

Barefoot Medicine Ltd is based in Dinas Powys just outside Cardiff. Simone Buehner has been working in healthcare for 20 years since leaving the corporate world in 2001 following the unexpected full-term stillbirth of her first child. Taking a complete career change, she competed her 4-year degree in Acupuncture in 2007 and post-graduate

studies in Chinese Herbal Medicine in 2008. Since then she has devoted her time to helping clients with fertility issues and also mental and emotional wellbeing issues such as bereavement, stress & anxiety and since 2010 she has volunteered with military veterans organizations specializing in post-conflict mental health issues. For four years Simone worked part time for the British Acupuncture Council as a Professional Development Lead helping other practitioners across Wales, Herefordshire and Shropshire and for 7 years she ran study and support groups for acupuncturists and herbalists in her local area. Since 2019 Simone has continued with further training to qualify as a practitioner of Functional Medicine. This enables her to offer clients laboratory testing for hormonal imbalances, digestive and gut health and detoxification processes, all of which are foundational for every other aspect of physical and mental health. Functional Medicine is little-known in the UK, but is extremely popular in the USA. Practitioners must be qualified in certain areas of healthcare (conventional western medicine, nutrition or acupuncture) before being allowed to train with the Institute for Functional Medicine. However, I believe this branch of personalized medicine will grow in importance and popularity over the coming years and I would be very happy to talk to anyone who would like to understand more about it.

Thinking about coming off Wegovy or Mounjaro? Don't let the weight rebound! As a functional medicine practitioner with over 25 years' experience helping people get healthy then stay healthy, I have developed online courses to support people who are not in a position to have 1:1 private consultations.

This whole.'skinny jab' bandwagon has helped a lot of people to look thinner, but not to actually become healthier. I feel really strongly about this because these are people who are doing the very best they can but without being given the right informaiton to help themselves for the long term.

If this is you, then read this article about proven strategies to transition off smoothly and keep the weight off for good.

🎸✨ Experience the Magic of Music Beyond Sound! ✨🎸

Luke Holdsworth, born deaf, has redefined how deaf audiences feel the thrill of live music with his incredible air guitar skills. As one of the UK's top BSL interpreters at live concerts, he's breaking barriers and bringing music to life for all. Turn up the volume on inclusivity and empowerment! 🌟

It may seem strange for me to be sharing this post from Positive News, but I believe passionately that healthcare is about far more than medication. All of us need creative expression and a plave where we can lose ourselves for a little while and get 'into the zone' of something we love.

Too many people are afraid of addressing their health, in exactly the same way as some people avoid looking at their bank statements. There is a fear of what you may find. I would like to bring the fun into healthcare - because it IS fun! Just think of all the endorphins that flooded Luke Holdsworth's body, the adrenaline rush that got his body 'unstuck' (those of you who have heard me talk about 'stagnation' in Chinese Medicine will understand the importance of this).

Join the revolution of taking healthcare into your own hands and making it more FUN! Connect with us for energetic, enthusiastic support in the Barefoot Biohackers Community 💪🌍

🌍✨OK, there's enough doom and gloom everywhere! From now onwards, I'm going to have a weekly slot of 'good news' from Positive News!

What went right this week: Let's dive into some positive vibes about things that that truly matter! 🌟

In Brazil, deforestation in the Amazon is plummeting 🌿, setting an inspiring precedent for environmental care on a global scale. Meanwhile, scientists are harnessing the power of hurricane-predicting sharks 🦈 to better understand our planet's weather patterns. And tech giants might face a courtroom reckoning, which could mean a shift towards ethical computing ⏳.

At Barefoot Medicine, we stand firm in the belief that true health is about more than just physical wellness, it's about living in harmony with our planet for a healthier future. I qualified in permaculture design over 10 years ago. This year I got a distinction in my Ecology Diploma and in September I begin the ISEP Certificate in Sustainability and Environmental Management. If this sounds like I'm deviating from 27 years in healthcare, then I assure you I'm not - I'm going deeper. We can only be as healthy as our planet - and our planet can only be as healthy as the lifestyles we choose.

Let's continue to prioritize self-care, earth care, people care, and fair share.

Join us on the journey to integrate common-sense wellness into your routine. Explore how our clinically-proven approaches can help you feel healthier and more energized than ever. 💪🥗 Join the Barefoot Biohackers Community to learn more, share your ideas and keep each other motivated!

One of the most important aspects of healthcare is the ability to make an informed choice about what you want and what fits with your values.

🌟 Do you ever think about how safe your medical information is? 🌟

The Advisory Group for Data plays a vital role in ensuring that your patient data is accessed and used responsibly. As a new Chair is appointed, It's about time we all stand up for careful, visible scrutiny, especially in an era where identity theft seems to be getting more common💡

I am getting an increasing number of calls from clients who, due to the cost of living crisis as well as long NHS waiting lists, are turning to AI for healthcare advice. This is totally understandable, but as the chatbots get increasingly 'interactive' with some even being able to hold conversations with you, do you ever wonder who owns the transcription information? Who does it get to behind-the-scenes? What is your private information being used for?

AI is so new that I suspect there is no legisltation in place yet to govern that, but I would caution anyone who engages with AI about their physical - or especially mental - health to be a little bit circumspect in what data you share.

It is fantastic that more people are now engaging with their health because information is at our fingertips - but so is disinformation! So I would advise everyone to LEARN more about how your body works for yourself, so you can make an informed choice about how best to look after it.

🌪️🌧️ As Hurricane Lala brings flash floods to Hawaii, reflecting on our planet's dynamic weather reminds us of our interconnectedness with nature.

When disaster strikes, taking care of ourselves and others becomes vital. 💪🌿 Last year it was my family in Jamaica who bore the brunt of climate change. Since then, there have been food shortages, erosion of topsoil and outbreaks of waterborne diseases. It has never been more important to know how to support ourelves and our communities in the face of adversity.

When I was first invited to be part of the Tower Garden European testing team some 10 years ago, I was suspicous of aeroponic growing, but very interested. The permaculture/herbalist part of me was a purist who believed that everything should be grown in the ground. However, I came to realize how overly simplistic that was. Soil erosion and increasing natural disasters, not to mention war and conflict, continues to make that less and less achievable. The Tower Garden, on the other hand, gives individual families the chance to grow their own fresh produce, eat it straight from the plant, pesticide-free and at a rate that grows 30% faster than when in the ground.

New solutions are needed no matter what the purist in me says, and I have watched and tasted the tower garden deliver on those benefits year after year after year. 🌍✨

In the meantime, the beautiful islands of Hawaii are being battered by horrendous storms. My thoughts and prayers are with everyone who is being affected by hurricane Lala right now.

I have included the link about events in Hawaii if you want to know more, but in the meantime, comment below about how we can all act more sustainably and responsibly.
