Practitioner deep dive: Natural antihistamines
Spring is about to be sprung, and it’s that time of year again when pollen levels begin to rise and many people experience seasonal allergies. One in four people in the UK (approximately 16 million) suffer from allergic rhinitis (hay fever) and up to 49% of the population report experiencing hay fever symptoms on occasion. Many of these will reach for over the counter (OTC) medications which can cause an array of side effects, therefore considering natural antihistamines can be a desirable alternative. In this blog we look at the mechanisms behind allergy and nutrients that act as natural antihistamines to reduce symptoms of seasonal allergies.
Intestinal permeability, the gut–immune axis, and allergic disease: Clinical implications for practice
Allergic diseases are traditionally framed as disorders of inappropriate immune reactivity to environmental antigens such as pollen, foods, or house dust mite. However, a growing body of evidence suggests that gastrointestinal barrier integrity and gut microbial ecology play a central role in shaping allergic susceptibility and symptom expression.
How to use multivitamins in clinical practice
In modern clinical practice, multivitamins have evolved far beyond the generic “nutritional safety net” they were once perceived to be. As our understanding of personalised nutrition deepens, it’s increasingly clear that foundational micronutrient support can play a pivotal therapeutic role, whether addressing nutrient gaps, supporting complex biochemical pathways such as methylation and detoxification, or meeting the heightened physiological demands of specific life stages. For practitioners, using multivitamins effectively means selecting targeted, bio‑effective formulations that align with an individual’s unique health profile, ensuring they deliver meaningful clinical impact rather than superficial coverage.
Why methylation matters – the complex process at the heart of human health
A complex topic that can be baffling and spark differing opinions, methylation is critical to health as it’s at the heart of so many of our body’s key processes. Annie Edwards demystifies methylation and explains how you can use it to support the health of your clients.
GLP agonies – Supporting clients on GLP medications
Use of GLP-1 medications for weight loss is accelerating rapidly with Mounjaro & Wegovy now household names. Are these drugs a panacea for the obesity epidemic, or do the wide-ranging side effects make them a healthcare time bomb? Let’s take a close look at the ‘GLP-1 receptor agonists’ – how they work, what the side effects are, and how we can help, as well as natural alternatives.
Self-defence – Supplements for immunity and lung function
Since the pandemic, our awareness, perhaps even fear, of viral and other infections has increased. But we have always existed in a world where we might encounter evolving variants of viral infection, with some of us seemingly more susceptible or even vulnerable than others due to our general health.
Seeking inspiration – looking after the lungs
To breathe is to live. Although we have a regular need for food to provide energy for life, the body has a more essential, immediate and continuous requirement for oxygen, which is fundamental to energy metabolism and cell survival. Oxygen is chemically indispensable, and the rhythmic, largely unconscious, act of breathing that draws it in not only sustains life but also represents life’s rhythm and contributes to emotional balance.
Overcoming the Overwhelm? Support for Anxiety
In today’s modern life many people feel stressed, overwhelmed and anxious. While these feelings can be a normal part of life, sometimes overactivation of the stress response can tip over and stress and anxiety become excessive, inappropriate, and constant. It is often not the external stressor that is the problem but the perception of it and concern about the fact that we are stressed.
Re-thinking creatine and electrolytes
Creatine and electrolyte supplements have recently been in the spotlight, with growing interest around their impressive benefits for multiple areas of health. Once seen mainly as a bodybuilder’s secret weapon, new research reveals that creatine’s potential goes far beyond muscle and plays a vital role in supporting energy production, cognitive function, and overall vitality.
Menopause brain fog: Understanding how hormonal changes affect your memory
During the menopause transition, many women notice changes in focus, memory, and mental clarity, and often report feeling like they are ‘losing their mind’. Rest assured, this is a common side effect due to the changes and fluctuations in hormone levels, and in today’s blog, our Nutritional Therapist Annie will delve deeper into why this occurs and what you can do to support yourself during this life stage.
Intermittent fasting and the brain – what research reveals about its cognitive benefits
Intermittent fasting (IF) is increasingly recognised as a powerful approach to supporting cognitive function and overall brain health. Research demonstrates that IF can enhance insulin sensitivity, improve mitochondrial efficiency, reduce inflammation and stimulate cellular repair, all of which are essential for maintaining optimal brain performance. These benefits stem from the metabolic adaptations triggered during fasting, which not only help protect neurons but also promote cognitive function in the short term and greater brain resilience over the long term.
Rediscover the power of nootropics. A holistic approach to cognitive health
Nootropics might might seem like a recent buzzword in the supplements space yet in reality these “brain-boosters” are anything but new. With the thirst for cognitive enhancing supplements growing, our expert Nutritional Therapist, Annie examines these so called “smart drugs”.
