September is a good time to reset, but not with another extreme health kick.

As summer winds down and routines start to settle back in, it’s worth asking yourself:

How do I actually feel?

Are you waking refreshed?
Do you have steady energy throughout the day?
Is your digestion happy?
Are you sleeping well?
Or have you simply got used to feeling tired, uncomfortable or “not quite right”?

Your body is constantly giving you information. The challenge is learning to listen to it.
🌱💚🌱
Rather than reaching for another quick fix, September could be the month to start looking at the bigger picture …nutrition, digestion, lifestyle, stress, sleep and the factors that may be contributing to how you feel.

Small, sustainable changes can be far more powerful than an all-or-nothing approach.

Your health doesn’t need a complete overhaul overnight. It needs the right starting point.

If you’ve been putting your health on the back burner, perhaps September is the time to move it back to the front.

What’s one thing your body has been trying to tell you lately?

Why choose to consult with me?
🌿
My journey into health and wellbeing began with my own struggles as a child. Ever since, I’ve been a dedicated student of health, continually expanding my knowledge and understanding of the body.

Over the years, I’ve trained as a Naturopath, Nutritional Therapist and Bowen Therapist, while also studying Chinese Medicine, Ayurveda, Homotoxicology, Environmental Health and much more.

But I choose not to specialise in one particular disease or part of the body. Why?

Because the body is an incredibly interconnected system. Everything influences everything else, and symptoms are often part of a much bigger picture.

My wide knowledge base allows me to take a holistic view of your health, helping me explore how your symptoms may connect, what factors could be contributing to them and what approach may best support you in restoring balance.

I’m also passionate about helping you understand your own health. Together, we can explore your symptoms, how they may have developed and what steps you can take to support your wellbeing moving forward.

If this approach resonates with you, I’d love to support you on your health journey.
Consultations are available worldwide via video call, or face to face in Tavistock and Plymouth, Devon.

Learn more about me, book a consultation or package, or get in touch for further information.

Could a strand of your hair tell you more than you think?

When we think about understanding our health, we usually think about blood tests. But there’s another option that’s well worth exploring: Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis

Using a small sample of hair, HTMA looks at 29 minerals and 9 toxic elements, providing information about mineral status and potential exposure to certain heavy metals.

It can be particularly interesting if you’re experiencing recurring or unexplained symptoms, wondering whether your mineral balance could be contributing to how you feel, taking lots of supplements and questioning what you actually need, or simply wanting a deeper picture of your nutritional status.

💡 Why is this different?

Rather than simply looking at what is circulating in your blood at one particular moment, HTMA is used to assess mineral levels and reserves over a longer period. The results can then be interpreted alongside your health history to help identify potential imbalances and inform a personalised plan.

Sometimes, getting more information is the first step towards understanding what your body may be asking for.

If you’re curious about whether Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis could be useful for you, it’s definitely worth exploring.

Ending the week on a positive note

There’s nothing better than hearing how the right support can make such a meaningful difference to someone’s everyday life.

This wonderful testimonial is a reminder that looking at nutrition, wellbeing and the body as a whole can help create positive changes that extend far beyond the treatment room.

From improving gut health and energy levels to feeling better physically, sleeping better and getting back to exercise …it’s incredible to see what can happen when someone has the right personalised approach and support.

Thank you to my client for sharing such honest and encouraging feedback. It means so much to know that I’ve played a part in helping you feel like yourself again.

Here’s to finishing the week feeling positive, healthy and looking forward to what’s ahead.
🙏

Your body isn’t broken. It’s asking for help.
Fatigue that sleep doesn’t fix. Hormones that feel like they’re running the show. Allergies and sensitivities that never quite add up. Fertility struggles that leave you with more questions than answers.

Too often, these get brushed off as “just something to manage” a supplement here, a quick fix there, while the actual root cause goes unaddressed. But your body doesn’t create symptoms for no reason. Every signal is information, and once you understand what’s really going on underneath, real, lasting change becomes possible.

That’s the work I do. As a Naturopath, Nutritional Therapist & Bowen Therapist, I look at the whole picture… how your gut, your hormones, your nervous system, and your lifestyle all connect …rather than treating each symptom in isolation.
🔹 Naturopathy — supporting your body’s own ability to heal
🔹 Nutritional Therapy — food and supplementation tailored to you
🔹 Bowen Therapy — gentle, hands-on therapy for pain, stress & tension
🔹 Allergy Reset — getting to the bottom of sensitivities that hold you back
🔹 Hormonal & Fertility Support — for every stage, from cycle balance to conception

Whether you’re dealing with peri-menopause, unexplained fatigue, a child with complex feeding needs, or you’re simply ready to feel like yourself again… you deserve support that looks deeper.

💚 Hit follow for weekly tips on gut health, hormones, energy, and holistic healing, plus real stories from people who’ve walked this path before you.

☀️ FEELING THE HEAT? DON’T FORGET YOUR NUTRITION! 💧
When the weather heats up, staying hydrated isn’t just about reaching for another glass of water.
Your nutrition can play a role too.

When we sweat more, we lose fluids and electrolytes, so it’s important to give your body what it needs to stay balanced.
Hydrating foods such as watermelon, cucumber, strawberries, oranges and leafy greens can help contribute to your daily fluid intake.
A varied, nutrient-rich diet provides the vitamins and minerals your body needs to support normal energy levels and everyday function.
And while we often hear that we should avoid salt, sodium is an essential electrolyte that the body needs… particularly when we’re losing more through sweat. The key is balance and getting it as part of a nutritious diet.

So this summer, think beyond the water bottle. Hydration, nutrition and listening to your body all work together.
At Reclaim Your Health, I believe that understanding your body and giving it the right foundations can be an important part of your wellbeing.

Could your hormones be behind how you’re feeling?
🌿
Sometimes, it can feel like your body is suddenly working against you.
You might be feeling exhausted even after a good night’s sleep. Your mood may feel different, your weight may be harder to manage, your digestion may be unsettled, or perhaps your sleep has become disrupted.
You may be experiencing changes to your menstrual cycle, PMS, hot flushes, mood swings, changes in libido or fertility concerns. Or maybe you have that nagging feeling that you don’t feel like yourself anymore.

Hormones can have a significant influence on many different areas of our health and wellbeing. Because the body works as an interconnected system, it can be helpful to look at the bigger picture rather than treating every symptom as a completely separate problem.

At Reclaim Your Health, I take a naturopathic, whole-person approach. Rather than simply focusing on the symptom in front of you, the aim is to understand how your symptoms have developed, what may be contributing to them and how different aspects of your health may be connected.
This can include looking at areas such as nutrition, lifestyle, environmental factors and your individual health history, alongside appropriate nutritional and naturopathic support. The goal is to help you better understand your own body and support its natural ability to return towards balance.

Hormonal wellbeing isn’t just about one particular stage of life, either. From menstrual and fertility concerns through to perimenopause and menopause, changes in hormonal health can have a wider impact on how you feel day to day. Michael has also undertaken postgraduate training in using the Bowen technique to support aspects of hormonal and reproductive health.

If you’ve been putting your symptoms down to stress, getting older, “just one of those things” or something you simply have to live with, perhaps it’s time to take a closer look.
Your symptoms are worth understanding.

Get in touch to find out more about hormonal support and book a consultation.

Face-to-face consultations are available in Tavistock and Plymouth, with online consultations also available worldwide.

Have you ever stopped to wonder if an allergy could be at the root of the symptoms you’ve been struggling with?

As a naturopath and nutritional therapist with specialist training in allergies, I help people identify and rebalance their allergic response, looking beyond the symptoms to understand why those allergies may have developed in the first place.

If you’re experiencing any of the following, it’s worth exploring whether allergies, sensitivities or intolerances could be playing a role:

🌿 Hay fever
🌿 Eczema, hives, psoriasis or other skin conditions
🌿 Asthma
🌿 Digestive issues
🌿 Autoimmune conditions
🌿 Anxiety or behavioural concerns
🌿 Swelling and inflammation
🌿 Ongoing tiredness or fatigue that rest doesn’t improve
🌿 Mouth ulcers
🌿 Arthritis
🌿 Palpitations, particularly after eating
🌿 Water retention around the eyes, abdomen or ankles

Together we can explore food, respiratory and contact allergies, including IgE, IgG, intolerances and sensitivities.

One of the biggest misconceptions is that expensive laboratory testing is always needed. In many cases it isn’t. These tests can be unreliable, often only detecting antibodies if you’ve eaten a particular food recently, and they don’t help to rebalance your body’s allergic response.

My approach is different. I focus on identifying what’s affecting you, supporting your body’s natural balance, and helping you make lasting changes to reduce the likelihood of symptoms returning.

If you’ve been living with symptoms that no one has been able to explain, I’d love to help you uncover what’s really going on. Get in touch to find out more about my Allergy Reset service.

Real stories like this are why I do what I do.

There is nothing more rewarding than seeing my clients regain their health, confidence and quality of life.

In just seven weeks, one client experienced:
• More energy throughout the day
• Better sleep
• Improved focus and attention
• A happier, more relaxed mindset
• Positive changes confirmed by blood test results
• Sustainable changes to their eating habits that finally felt achievable

One part of this testimonial that really stands out to me is this:

“Michael really listens and he explains everything very well… When I leave, I feel that I’ve been given good information and all my questions have been answered.”

I believe everyone deserves to feel heard and supported. That’s why I take the time to understand your individual needs, explain everything clearly, and create a personalised plan that works for your lifestyle. My goal isn’t to offer a quick fix…it’s to help you make lasting changes that improve your health for the long term.

If you’ve tried different approaches without success, I’d love to help you discover a different way forward.

Get in touch today to book a consultation and let’s start your journey towards better health together.

Are you or your children suffering from eczema, hives or other skin issues, hay fever, asthma, constipation/diarrhoea, digestive or gut issues, mental/behavioural issues, inflammation, or excess tiredness? There is often an undiagnosed allergic element to these symptoms.

Join me at Little Goose Play Cafe in September for an enlightening discussion around this important topic. We will cover:

- What are allergies, intolerances and sensitivities?
- How they can be tested (including the limitations of various tests).
- Why do they develop?
- How can we identify the causes?
- What can we do to resolve them?

There will be time to answer questions at the end.
