Fasting is generally defined as the abstinence from food or limiting of food. Water Fasting is one example, where you might only consume water for 24 hours. This gives the digestive organs a complete rest from their usual functions, which can be very beneficial. Fasting is also a natural response, for example, to an […]
I did my Juice Detox Retreat training back in 2000 as an addition to the second year of my Naturopathic Nutrition course. It inspired me to want to create a similar nurturing, relaxing space for my own clients so for the first couple of years I ran them for colleagues as practice runs. This […]
The Valentine’s day nutrition research published by the B.M.J may sound like a bit of a ‘no-brainer’ or perhaps that is just my opinionated view! Processed foods are so devoid of nutrients that if they constitute a percentage of the diet, it comes as no surprise to me that they will correspondingly increase the risk […]
Our whole family drinks water, often warm, out of big mugs through the day. A few months ago, probably aged about 5 months, my little granddaughter Connie started to grab the mug of whoever was holding her and pull the mug towards her mouth. She wanted to join in this activity whatever it was […]

However, what surprised me was that at that […]
Concerns have been raised this month by the American Paediatric Society about the Gardasil vaccine, as no safety research was done by manufacturers into the long term effects on ovarian health. Three separate case series recently have shown up a possibility that it is causing premature menopause in teenage girls. Dr. Deirdre Little an […]
Last year, Jason Vale exhorted a 28 day Juice detox through several social media and this year has seen a flood of recommendations to do 3 or 5 day juice detoxes with some businesses offering to ship out the juices to you. I had a good handful of new clients arrive for an appointment in […]
A useful Naturopathic technique
Naturopathic techniques are a helpful support for detoxing the body that Look After You work with and advise use of, alongside changes in Nutrition. A cleaner, lighter way of eating will often prompt the body to sweep away the cobwebs and when that waste starts moving, it can be challenging for […]
With two eclipses approaching with the New Moon on September 13th and with the Full Moon on September 28th, it seemed like a good idea to describe the physics of the Moon and its effects on the Earth and on ourselves.
