As it's Easter, a little note about eggs!
Eggs are considered a complete protein source, meaning they provide all nine essential amino acids required by the body. This makes them particularly valuable for maintaining muscle mass, supporting metabolic health, and aiding tissue repair.

Eggs are one of the richest dietary sources of choline, a nutrient that plays a critical role in brain function, liver health, and cellular membrane integrity.

Choline is required to produce acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter involved in memory and muscle control. It is also especially important during pregnancy, where adequate intake supports foetal brain development.

Despite its importance, many people do not meet recommended choline intake levels, making eggs a practical and efficient source.

Eggs also contain a wide range of essential micronutrients, including:
• Vitamin B12 and riboflavin for energy metabolism
• Vitamin A for vision and immune support
• Vitamin D, which many populations are deficient in
• Selenium and zinc for immune function

Eggs naturally contain dietary cholesterol, which historically raised concerns about heart disease risk. However, current research suggests that for most people, dietary cholesterol has a relatively modest impact on blood cholesterol levels compared with saturated fat intake and overall dietary patterns.

Individual responses do vary. Some people are more sensitive to dietary cholesterol, particularly those with certain metabolic conditions. But for the majority of healthy individuals, moderate egg consumption can be included as part of a balanced diet.

Chiropractic is very effective for treatment of neuromusculoskeletal complaints. By improving spinal health and reducing stress on the nervous system, chiropractic care allows the parasympathetic nervous system to function more effectively, promoting the body’s ability to heal and recover naturally.
Sometimes it's not enough on its own to resolve conditions, therefore nutrition and lifestyle advice is an important part of care to support your body's optimum function and healing processes.
Last weekend I spent the day with a lovely group of like-minded individuals deepening my knowledge of nutrition. If you are questioning why you are not responding as well as you hoped from treatment, healing is slower than expected or your condition keeps recurring, it may be due to your nutritional status!

Vitamin D plays a critical role in fat metabolism and body composition, helping to regulate how fat cells grow, store energy, and release inflammatory signals.

Key mechanisms include:

Regulation of adipogenesis (fat cell formation): Vitamin D signaling helps limit excessive fat cell differentiation and expansion
Improved insulin sensitivity: Adequate vitamin D supports glucose uptake in muscle and reduces insulin resistance, shifting energy use away from fat storage
Lower chronic inflammation: Fat tissue in vitamin D–deficient individuals tends to be more inflamed, which further disrupts metabolism and muscle function.

By supporting muscle protein synthesis and reducing inflammation, vitamin D helps the body maintain a healthier lean-to-fat ratio, especially when paired with resistance training and adequate protein intake.

It is incredibly important to note that, since vitamin D is fat-soluble, it becomes sequestered in adipose tissue, making it less available to other tissues and organs throughout the body. Individuals with higher body fat often require significantly higher vitamin D intake to achieve the same blood levels as lean individuals.
