Time for a health MoT?
We service our cars regularly so they don’t let us down unexpectedly so shouldn’t we do the same with our health? Selfcare is the new game in town but if you are anything like me, you’re probably apprehensive about taking that first step into testing, I know I was. However, after the first one and realizing how easy it was, I was motivated to go further and there is nothing more reassuring than knowing:
My omega 6/3 levels are in balance
My Vit D levels are optimum
My cholesterol levels are fine
My zinc levels are fine too
etc etc
If you are at the same crossroads please do reach out for an informal chat to see whether we can provide you with the same reassurance. It will cost nothing to talk and in the end the choice to test will still be yours.

by Jackie Barber
In the pursuit of better health and well-being, understanding how our bodies respond to different foods and substances is crucial. This is where my journey began in the late 90’s. I needed to know why I felt so tired and why I couldn’t lose weight after my second child, and sadly at the time my G.P. was unable to help me.

This non-invasive, efficient diagnostic method has been helping individuals pinpoint dietary triggers and optimize their health for decades.

Disorderly Conduct
by Dr Paul Clayton
There are difficult children, and there are children with conduct disorder (CD). CD is defined as a consistent pattern of severely antisocial and aggressive behaviors. If the kid from next door bullies others, kicks the cat, lies, steals and uses drugs and/or alcohol, you may have a CD player on your hands.
CD is more serious than opposition defiant disorder (ODD), which is mostly about defiance to parental and school authority; but both can worsen over time before eventually emerging in young adulthood as antisocial personality disorder (ASPD), particularly if drugs are involved and social support is lacking.

Why gut health is more important than you think
by Zinzino
Your gut isn't just responsible for digestion – it's a pivotal part of the control center of your overall health. From immune function to mental clarity, the microbiome in your gut influences every aspect of your well-being.
Yet, because of today's modern diet, many of us are literally starving the very bacteria that keep us healthy. The overconsumption of ultra-processed foods, refined sugars, and Omega-6-rich oils has created a crisis in gut health. Most people consume less than half of the recommended daily intake of dietary fiber, leaving their gut microbiome struggling to function optimally.
Dr. Colin Robertson, Chief Product Officer at Zinzino, recently shared startling insights on the importance of gut health, and how test-based nutrition is revolutionizing the way we care for our digestive system.
