When you want to become the healthiest version of yourself, especially in these flu-ridden times- then an appointment with the completely brilliant and empathetic nutritionist and Doctor- Dr Vidhi @smilingvidhi @johnbellandcroyden Is the way to go

I cannot recommend Dr Vidhi more highly.
I’ve just had my second appointment with her.

She is not only a Western medicine doctor but also a homeopathic one as well as an Ayurverdic one. So she can treat you on so many levels.

Dr Vidhi also uses an EIS sensor analyser machine which passes a low voltage electrical current through the tissue fluid that surrounds cells tissues and organs whilst also working as an ECG electrocardiogram checking your heart.
This machine does not give actual blood and hormone analysis figures- but it does give indications via graphs of where your specific problems may or may not lie.

It reads your Interstitial fluid minerals including Phosphorous, potassium, calcium, magnesium, sodium and iron.

It reads 12 hormones including thyroid and cortisol and insulin . .
Your acid/alkaline balance. .
Your biochemistry which includes your triglycerides- fats in the body ( which include HDL – good cholesterol) and LDL and kidney health and glucose or sugar found in the body.

Also oxidative stress and a whole organ/ systems analysis from cardiovascular to digestive,, endocrine, immune function, neurolgical, neuromuscular, respiratory and body composition.

It even checks for cancer markers.

Totally impressive. Cannot recommend Dr Vidhi more highly. She has helped me with other recent health and digestive issues better than any other doctor, consultant, or gastroenterologist has managed.

The nutrijuvenate clinic with Dr Vidhi costs £180.

Sometimes we all need to stop and take stock of where we are now and where we would like to be

Sometimes we all need to stop and take stock of where we are now and where we would like to be... say in three months, six months, a year. . The start of this new decade 2020 can fill us with renewed hopes and expectations. But be realistic in your aspirations. . Keep visualising......the possibilities: Make your visualizations a reality. Could it be..... A new romantic partner in your life. An abundance of money flooding in to pay bills. A fitter body achieved with a new healthy lifestyle and exercise. An exciting job you would like to be offered. But Give your dreams a chance to be fulfilled. Rome wasn't built in a day and it's still only the 2nd week of January. . . . .

Such a dilemma when Father Christmas asks you what you'd like for Christmas.

Such a dilemma when Father Christmas asks you what you'd like for Christmas. . Well I would quite like the trainers that I saw @thekooples ... . And also.... . Good health- without your health then you have nothing. . And . My childrens' happiness and well-being in 2020 and beyond. . And . My own personal happiness and business success for 2020. . Oh.... Was I only supposed to ask for one thing? . . . . . . @bellacampbell1 @rory_photo

Final day of my 5 day fast-mimicking Prolon diet.

Final day of my 5 day fast-mimicking Prolon diet. . From tomorrow, I will be eating predominantly vegetables and slowly re-introducing protein with fish and chicken back into my daily diet. . As my 65th birthday approaches, I felt it increasingly important to take stock of my health, returning to healthy eating and regular exercise as it had all gone pear-shaped during the Summer. . Friends say to me "but you look fine as you are" you don't need to lose weight" but visceral fat ( the internal fat around your organs can also be inside a slim or even skinny person. Also we all know that to look good we need to FEEL good as well. . Visceral fat is a type of body fat that can’t be pinched or seen with the naked eye, and it surrounds vital organs, including the liver, pancreas and kidneys. Keeping levels of visceral fat can reduce the risk of heart disease, high blood pressure, the onset of type 2 diabetes and many other illnesses. . . . . .

Invest in yourself

Invest in yourself. . We all say we haven't got the money or the time to invest in ourselves, especially at this time of the year. Maybe it's a weekend away, a holiday abroad, time just for ourselves, an escape, a retreat, an experience, somewhere to learn a new skill or simply taking time out to stop and understand more about ourselves and what we want from our lives. . But making time and finding a way to do this can often make you happier, more successful and more fulfilled in your life and ready for an exciting new 2019 year ahead. . So go for it. Make yourself your priority like I just have done. You're worth it and everyone around you will benefit as well. . . . .

Healthy lifestyle tips

Healthy lifestyle tips. Here are 5 tips for a good digestive system and improved gut health which is the key to your general optimum health and well being.

Another protein and low carb breakfast idea

Another protein and low carb breakfast idea. Scrambled eggs with spinach, avocado and tomatoes. You could leave a 12 hours interval before you eat your breakfast, after your last meal the eve before. This gives your digestion a chance to rest. 16-18 hours is an optimum gap if you're on a weight loss journey. On 2 consecutive days for the best result. Spinach, avocado and tomatoes are all good slow release carbs eaten together with the protein of the eggs. Tomatoes contain the antioxidant lycopene which has been linked to many health benefits including reduced risk of heart disease and cancer. They also contain Vit C and Vit K. . . . . .

Lemon and ginger in hot water to start the day

Lemon and ginger in hot water to start the day. If you're adding Manuka or raw honey, make sure the water is warm, not boiling or too hot as it changes the healing properties of the raw honey. Ginger is great to help reduce inflammation and lemon is a blood purifier, cleanser and can strengthen the immune system.

Sometimes when you fancy an instant homemade curry

Sometimes when you fancy an instant homemade curry. Found this packet curry soup in the Health food shop which had all natural ingredients, no additives wheat or sugar and was properly delicious. I simply added boiled water to the powder. It had turmeric, cumin and chiĺli, all excellent anti-inflammatory spices and great for health and weight loss. To make the soup more of a substantial supper I added some cauliflower, broccoli and spinach and cashew nuts.
