Is IBS always caused by food?

Not necessarily.

Food intolerances can play a role, but so can stress, poor stomach acid production, digestive enzymes, microbiome imbalances and several other factors.

That’s why it’s important to look at the whole picture rather than focusing on just one possible cause.

The right testing can help identify what’s driving your symptoms.

One of the most common issues I see is IBS.

Many people have spent years trying different diets, supplements and medications without getting lasting results.

The challenge is that IBS isn’t always caused by the same thing. Food intolerances, stress, gut health, digestive enzymes and stomach acid can all play a role.

That’s why understanding the root cause is so important.

Everyone wants to know the best supplement, the best diet or the best health hack.

The answer is usually much simpler.

Sleep is where your body repairs, recovers and resets. If you’re struggling with energy, stress, digestion or hormone issues, it’s one of the first things worth looking at.

Movement, hydration and good nutrition all matter, but sleep is where the magic happens.

Breakfast this morning was a simple feta omelette with mixed leaves.

People often think healthy eating needs to be complicated, but some of the best meals are the simplest.

The eggs provide high-quality protein, along with choline, which is important for brain function and nervous system health.

The feta adds extra protein, calcium and healthy fats, helping to keep you fuller for longer.

Then there’s the salad. Those greens are packed with fibre, folate, magnesium and antioxidants that support everything from energy production to gut health.

When you build a meal around protein, healthy fats and plenty of plants, you’re giving your body the nutrients it needs without relying on ultra-processed foods.

Simple food. Lots of nutrition.

What’s the strangest food intolerance I’ve seen?

Probably lettuce.

It sounds unlikely, but food intolerances aren’t always linked to the foods you’d expect.

Once this client removed lettuce from their diet, their symptoms disappeared.

That’s why testing can be so valuable. Sometimes it’s the foods you least suspect that are causing the biggest issues.

One of the key things we look at in testing is your insulin resistance score.

You can feel exhausted, crave sugar and have brain fog without really knowing why.

If your body isn’t responding properly to insulin, it’s very hard to get on top of energy, weight or cravings.

Once you know, there are simple things you can do to bring it back into balance.

But it starts with understanding what’s actually going on.

Most people don’t think about how they’re eating.

Rushing through meals, eating while stressed, and not chewing properly means your body can’t break food down effectively.

As a result, you won’t absorb the nutrients. Something as simple as slowing down, sitting properly, and chewing your food well can completely change your digestion.

It sounds basic, but it works.

It’s not just what you eat, it’s how you eat.

Rushing food, eating while stressed or not chewing properly has a huge impact on digestion.

If you’re not breaking food down properly, you won’t absorb the nutrients from it.

Something as simple as slowing down, sitting properly and chewing your food well can make a real difference.

It sounds basic, but it works.

I am seeing more and more young girls struggle with PMDD.

They report low mood, anxiety, and poor sleep, especially in the second half of the cycle. One factor that’s often missed is cholesterol.

We’ve been told to avoid cholesterol, but it’s actually essential for hormone production and helping the brain stay calm.

If the body doesn’t have the building blocks, it can’t cope with those fluctuations properly.

Sometimes it isn’t about adding more medication; it’s about giving your body what it needs.

Your microbiome plays a bigger role than most people realise.

It impacts your mood, your skin, your hormones, your digestion and your immune system.

Those gut bacteria need feeding properly every day.

Things like fibre, fermented foods and good fats all help them thrive.

When you look after that environment, everything else starts to work better.

This is where a lot of the change happens.
