A lot of people I talk to have no idea what I do, or how it might be relevant to their life and health. They aren’t sure what naturopathy is and/or why they would see someone like me. That’s fair enough. If you haven’t experienced it before, holistic medicine can seem a bit weird. Why […]

Flu busting brew: oxymel
At last week’s Natural Immune Health workshop, we went through some of the best home remedies and natural strategies for warding off coughs and colds. One of the things I discussed, and had on hand to taste, was a garlic and ginger oxymel. This potent home remedy has ingredients that offer antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory and immune-enhancing […]
Free webinar: naturally healthy kids
A couple of months ago, we ran a workshop in the clinic on home remedies and health tips for keeping kids healthy. It was great!… if I do say so myself. This week I recorded the information covered in that workshop into a 20 minute video presentation, which you can watch at any time! Naturally […]

Coffee and Pregnancy
Today I’m reposting this blog from a couple of years ago, because I have been talking to many people about caffeine, pregnancy and breastfeeding of late. A regular topic of conversation! ________ There are lots of ‘dos’ and ‘donts’ that you will face as soon as you fall – or plan to fall – pregnant. Lists of […]
What’s the beef with cancer?
Over the weekend it was National Cancer Day (4th Feb) and as part of this, I wrote a summary for our clinic patients about the evidence linking meat consumption to certain cancers. You can read it here. The upshot is: the evidence supports the classification of processed meats as a definite cause of cancer, and red meat […]
Begin afresh
Happy New Year! Time to farewell 2016, which was a tumultuous one for so many, and welcome in some new digits, and new energy, with 2017. I’ve been seeing a lot of posts and ads popping up in the past few days, advertising products and protocols to detox from the festive season and clear the […]

What’s in season?
Do you eat foods according to the season? Do you actually know what’s in season at different times of year? Sometimes it can be hard to tell. Particularly when large grocery stores have out-of-season produce on sale ALL THE TIME… for example, peaches for sale in the middle of winter. I mean, come on. Or, […]
Get real
Social media is so incredibly weird. It’s great too; it can be extremely inspiring and connect us to people and communities that raise us up. I love that. LOVE it. It can also be overwhelming; so much information, so many curated images, so much pressure to join in! This was a topic of discussion during […]
