🤔Gluten&Dairy free while travelling

I often hear from many of my clients that it's hard to keep Gluten&Dairy free while travelling. And I am here to tell you that it's actually not that hard once you know what to choose and swap.

So here are my usual go to:

✔️Hummus& carrots/ cucumber
✔️Ham, turkey or cooked chicken. I'm very lucky I have access to naked ham both in IE and the UK.
✔️snacks: seaweed crisps are delicious and salty which can help post travel when your blood pressure starts to dip
✔️Kefir always. And you can have it dairy free also. Coconut Kefir is delicious. I picked up the one which is delish. The extra probiotics are always very beneficial while travelling.
✔️Seed crackers for some extra fibre which you need while travelling.
✔️dairy and Gluten free chocolate has to be the pistachio 🤤
✔️Gluten free Taralli was a great find. Please bring them to Ireland 😍

If you are out in a restaurant you may have to choose which one would be the least problematic. Gluten is always a big no for me in restaurants as it's most likely not organic and I will likely react but dairy is most likely the safest compromise in small amounts and in Ireland and the UK it is of exceptional quality.

What would go for when travelling. Let me know in the comments 👇

Do you find yourself stuck when travelling?

⚪From symptoms to clarity

Why testing is a crucial part of my clinic work.

🤔What are Functional testing? Let's clear the confusion and understand who can actually prescribe them and who is trained to interpret them.

✔️Functional testing are NOT diagnostic testing. Only medical doctors deal with diagnostic testing like a colonoscopy or endoscopy to rule out a medical diagnosis of your digestive system.

✅Functional testing can only be ordered from Nutritional Therapist, Dietitians and registered Nutritionist. These tests require extensive training and are used to assess cellular imbalances that cannot be detected with standard testing.

Which types I use in my clinic:

✔️I use many but I target specific ones depending on each individual needs. Some require more and some less. It really depends. But they are a fundamental part of my clinic work. Without testing you are really scratching the surface. It's not optional, it's essential.

❓I often get many questions about testing and what test may suits you more than others. It's for that reason that I created the Functional Testing& Action Plan service. This is my exclusive single session where you can get a test ordered and interpreted with an action plan specifically for you. This will allow you to have a starting point where things will finally make sense for you.

*The cost of the test is not included and it's a separate fee. Genetic testing interpretation not included in this service. Tests must be ordered through me only. No third party interpretation available.

If you are interested in learning more reach out and I will be more than happy to help.

📍Hormone conference/London

Had a wonderful time at the Hormone conference in London organized by in collaboration with the . I have been using the Dutch hormone test since my early days in practice as a Nutritional Therapist and it has been a game changer for my female clients and myself.

This conference was all about practical insights, clinical pearls and proactive discussions about Female Health.

I loved .jaclynsmeaton peri-menopause insights and .carriejones genetic pearls. It was an invaluable 2 days of learning and connections.

Kudos to the team for organizing such a fabulous conference from the food, the attention to detail and the quality of the content delivered to practitioners.

It was a lovely time to connect with other practitioners including some Italians and catch up properly with my good friend .

Ready to put all the knowledge from the weekend into practice now in my busy clinic.

📍Women's Health Metabolic Assessment

This has been a long time coming. As a Women's Health Nutritional Therapist who specialises in Lipedema and chronic illness I listened to my clients over and over. They found the relief but without a solid structure and support alongside it. Some were dismissed by their provider simply because they didn't meet the "BMI" criteria or weight loss criteria.

👉I'm here to change the narrative. To provide women with only the best support and guidance amongst the chaos. To provide structure and evidence based methods that simply work.

⏫This assessment will give you a starting point, an understanding of what's going on with your body, a safe place to be listened to and someone that will finally bring clarity to your symptoms and provide the right support and guidance.

♦️Comment the word "metabolic" to get more information about who we are and what is the metabolic assessment about.

The 21st of May is almost fully booked with only 2 slots available. You can book any of the other dates by sending an email to [email protected] directly. **In person only for Ireland and UK patients.

Looking forward to seeing you there!

Upping my MJ dosage wasn't what made the biggest impact in less than a year.

Every time you see or I speak about my results the first thing that you ask is if I have upped my dosage! As if to get real results you need a higher dosage. Sorry to tell you but this is not the case and rarely brings solid long term results.

Let me explain:

1️⃣Peptides are incredible compounds that have literally changed my life. They are powerful and a game changer for Lipedema but not for the way you think they may be.

❌it's not about looking for more suppression, it's not about eating less, it's not about shutting down all desire to eat.

✅it is about improving communication in your body, calming the inflammatory response to allow for bigger changes and healing to come. But you still need to put the right fuel, the right therapeutic supplements, the right movement, the right sleep and the right mindset.

What has really made the biggest impact for me is the mast cell stabilisation effect which allowed the blood sugar to be more stable( which was a big struggle with reactive hypoglycemia), sleep improvement and energy levels. I was on the lowest of dosages for months until I was able to settle still on a micro dose.

The 15kg weight loss was slow and steady and moreso the results of a deep cellular work I was able to put in thanks to the reduction of inflammation. I had very mild to no appetite suppression and I'm thankful for that as appetite was actually never an issue for me as I know how to control it and what really works for my body.

No results come without the work and if they do they are only temporary. In my clinic I work on long term results, root causes and healing the body from a cellular level not just scratching the surface. We have got to understand the driver before we can truly heal.
