Avoid Toxic Personal Care Products (hint: they mostly all are)
Use the think dirty ap to score how toxic your products are and source better ones.
Many are hormone disruptors (that make you moody & fat) or are carcinogenic. Let's stop the cheap arse companies from putting poisons in our products by being aware.
How looking hot ruined my health...
Thyroid Destroyed...How preparing for a Body Building Competition Knackered my Thyroid...
So...when you train too hard and don't have enough calories/ correct macro combo your body changes the way your thyroid works to protect you from starving...this includes shutting down your sex hormones and exhausting your adrenal glands and other delights......the extreme of this is the babies with the big tummies in Africa..
"Thyroid Connection
If you are having difficulty losing weight, I recommend you get your leptin checked. Remember you want it under 12. From a thyroid perspective, if your leptin is above 12 you will commonly see low T3 (the most metabolically active thyroid hormone) and elevated reverse T3. This is not good for those trying to lose weight. The take away from this thyroid connection is the fact that reverse T3 means T4 is not being effectively converted into the metabolic workhorse hormone, T3.
The Solution:
You become leptin resistant by eating the typical American diet full of sugar, refined grains, and processed foods. The solution is to eat a diet that emphasizes good fats and avoids blood sugar spikes. Basically a diet that emphasize healthy fats, lean meats and vegetables, and restricts sugar and grains.
For a full thyroid panel test, I recommend a practitioner with knowledgeable in functional medicine."

Bioresonance Machines…Quantum Healing
Blown away by these machines. Bioresonance is the measurement of frequencies...our bodies organs and tissues have frequencies as do parasites and areas of disease & potential disease....with these machines you can actually see the levels of degradation/disruption in the body in real time. BUT even more amazing is that the machine sends the opposite frequency in order to rebalance the organ then detoxes out the rubbish!!
Are you turning into a pencil? ✏
After testing my thyroid at Oakmead Clinic in Chippenham and finding it full of lead I am now researching possible sources.

Fitness Yay..12 Week goal Under Way.
Finally a day of doing what I need...
Shugborough...stunning as ever
Luckily I can spend my days, in part upping my training now. Determinded that by beginning of May to of made significant progress in fat loss & increased health. Managed 10k steps & some weights yesterday plus 1700 calories with equal macros.
Plastics, Toxins & Chemicals Contribute to Female Cancers.
And most women put above 50 different chemicals on their bodies every day!!!
We can have too much oestrogen that can turn aggressive in the body depending on genetics and internal environment ...add to that excessive environmental xenoestrogens, an inflammatory diet, a few stressful life events and you have the perfect storm. These can come from personal care products, or our environment, new carpets, mattresses…the list goes on…
In nutritional therapy we look at a full case history to pull back & analyse all contributory layers. Then take steps to remove the issues and allow the body to rebalance itself.
Protect yourself with Nutrition & Genetic Testing. It's in your hands...if its in the family get checked....infact get it checked anyway. Call me on watsap or messenger for a free chat. 07735 705040 or sjsnutrition@protonmail.com
Mixing it up like a cold achy ninja!
Run/ walk/ hobble at Shrugborough Hall...
Inspired by Tamsin I am using my gym money for a National Trust membership instead...bit more of an interesting way to get the old 10000 steps in! Tally ho!
We are so lucky to have such amazing places on our doorsteps hey! It was a bit of a shock how seized up the old bod was...glad I didn't leave it much longer...think tin man wizard of Oz!
Stunning huh.
Green Medicine
Within : Spinach, frozen...easier to blend than ice & let's face it...easier to freeze than to eat a bag faster than it bloody goes off.
Basil, also frozen for the same reason as above.
Almond milk, I don't want swollen inflamed guts from dairy or to support the cruel dairy trade 💁
Pumpkin seeds, I need the B6 from them to stop/ limit my crazy pmt tendencies 🙃👿
Loads of fibre & good methylation from this drink (but thats a whole new blog!)
DNA Testing...the ONLY place to start (in my humble opinion) 👌
Why wouldn't you tbh?..in my humble opinion not using DNA testing at the beginning of investinging in your health is the equivalent of changing parts in your car without first diagnosing the issue by going to a mechanic...both a waste of time and money.
The secret to why diabetes type two or heart disease or stubborn fat loss can ALL be pin pointed and the TREATED WITH ACCURACY by testing first thus saving possibly thousands in random trial and error approaches. Choice of company, though is incredibly important...some companies sell your genes to pharmaceutical companies (23 & me for one) and some are not specific enough or careful with your data. Find a company with highly trained knowledgeable OWNERS not a company that's just in it for the money. My recommendation is Lifecodegx...owned and birthed by a Nutritional Therapist Emma Beswick. You can only access this company via a Nutritional Practitioner....after all...you need the correct support with your results to ensure you get the maximum return on investment AND the quickest most effective results...also...for the first test with them my time is FREE!!! Www.lifecodegx.com check them out!
The Latest Health info..?
Ah, the old British Medical Journal....they get there in the end! In the Naturopathic world we have been talking vitamin D and fracture risk for a long, long time...among many more...in fact I remember going to a lecture on Osteoporosis about 4 years ago by the NHS and I asked about vitamin D and protein and the Dr looked at me gone out. Good job we don't have to wait as long as them for 'evidence'

Micronised Purple Rice Testimonial
Testimonial from Sue, a runner from Oxford.
I have been taking one tea spoon of Purple Rice every morning for a month now, so these are very early days. However, my impression has been that I sleep a bit more soundly, my bowel movements are less frequent, and I think I have a bit more energy, which was demonstrated by running a 5k ParkRun in my fastest time this year. I have decided to continue taking Purple Rice and will give more feedback in a few month’s time.
Innocent stir fry?
Was just tucking into a healthy stir fry (yes it is too late my bad) & decided to just check the sugar in this bad boy. 26 grams!! That's 9 teaspoons full as shown in pic. Not so health now is it!!! If you must use this because you forgot how to cook for a (guilty as charged) please use sparingly!! On the plus side the old stir fry is s great way to get quite a few of your 9+ per day!
Depression...the brains reaction to being poisoned.
Sugar, chemicals, inflammation, stress, nicotine, caffeine, alcohol to name but a few....mix in with that a few genetic SNPs (single nucleotide polymorphisms or the gene damage that you are born with) and you have the perfect recipe for depression.
The chemicals, by the way, are everywhere and the hardest ones to avoid...aspartame or most man made sweeteners, those vile self-squirting air fresheners and the plugins, washing liquids/ powders, cleaning products, flame retardant sprays on new sofas & carpets, personal care products...
Yes...its hard to avoid. One of the only ways I have found to avoid the black dog thats good for you is to live a Nutritional Therapist approved lifestyle!
Sometimes easier said than done lol!!
Moobs, Weightloss Resistance and Hair Loss......
There are things in our personal care products, enviroment, food and water called endocrine disruptors. They are chemicals that may interfere with the body’s hormone system and produce negative reproductive, neurological, and immune effects in us and in wildlife. These substances are natural and also man-made they are thought to cause hormone disruption, including pharmaceuticals, dioxins and dioxin-like compounds, polychlorinated biphenyls, DDT and other pesticides, and plasticizers such as bisphenol A. Endocrine disruptors may be found things we use everyday– including plastic bottles, metal food cans, detergents, flame retardants, food, toys, cosmetics, and pesticides. The NIEHS supports studies to determine whether exposure to endocrine disruptors may result in human health effects including lowered fertility and an increased incidence of endometriosis and some cancers. Research shows that endocrine disruptors may pose the greatest risk during prenatal and early postnatal development when organ and neural systems are forming. They also make you fat, cause hair loss, make your PMT worse and.....they cause man boobs. Avoid.
Setting Goals for the New Year (the least soul destroying way!)
So....... after mulling over yet another load of new years resolutions that seem all too difficult after the first week I decided 2 things......
One, I would make them achievable and two, I would break them down into small pieces so they seem much easier (sounds clever right but actually it was a really cool apt that i will post on here tomorrow (phone is dead).
From a serial beater upper of myself I need to limit the opportunities of such so I'm starting now.
I may even list them on here..when my phone is back on...I have you to answer to then though I guess :-/
Anyway, in the name of spiritual responsibility and wanting a bloody good start to the new year I'm off to chant now...if its to be it starts with me!
Yoga...the missing element?
So......after exercising like an obsessed maniac for most of my life, since college made me sit still on a chair for what seemed like 3 years straight I seemed to of lost my training mojo....It didn't help when I found out through functional testing at college that I have adrenal fatigue syndrome-this is where you knock your cortisol out of its normal rhythm through hard training, strict dieting, stress or toxins and this can make you feel exhausted every single morning and also hypothyroid ( although this is not yet recognized by all health care systems it can actually lead to diabetes ).
So, under the guidance of my Nutritional Therapist, the amazing Jo Gamble(I don't take my own advice well!) I got the correct supplements to re-balance my systems, took the lifestyle & nutrition advice & tried to rejoin the wonderful world of weight training....but I couldn't...a day here and a day there all I could manage ( I had to join and cancel about 6 gyms in the last 2 years) with a multitude of old injuries rearing their ugly heads and a still defunked energy system that triggered depression I thought my fitness days were over...massive sob...
...Enter YOGA ....wow....bloody awesome...not only are my injuries loosening up...prob due to tightness from doing weights for years but there was an emotional release which was no doubt causing some energetic blockages too...in a beautiful studio in town by the mailbox sits the wonderfully zen realm of Yogasweat...the deal...20 days for £20....wow wow wow...needless to say I'm going every day where possible...I resisted yoga for ages due to my passion for weights ( and because it can be bloody hard ) even though my practitioner told me to go 3 years ago (see.... that's how I know you lot don't always listen even if you have paid for the advise!)
Anyway I'm really hoping me and yoga are going to hit it off in a big way and spend much more time together....to be continued...need to sleep...hot yoga at 11am!
