Vitamin D – functions, forms and latest research
There is a lot of information in the media currently about the benefits of vitamin D and the government now recommends that everyone should ensure a minimum intake of 10mcg per day through the year.

Boost your immune system this winter
As the weather gets colder, days shorter and with Christmas just around the corner it tends to be the beginning of the flu season. Flu not only affects people’s health, and in some cases can be life threatening, but also places a strain on the economy and not to mention the already much stretched NHS. Flu vaccines do not protect against all strains of the virus, therefore the best way to protect yourself from being stricken with flu is to support your body’s ability to fight off infection.
Menopause – boosting mood and busting stress during menopause and perimenopause
The menopause is defined as the cessation of menstruation. The term menopause is often used incorrectly – menopause means a woman’s last menstrual period. Climacteric describes the gradual changes and symptoms which occur as the production of hormones, and ovarian function, diminishes. In the UK, the average age for a woman affected by the menopause is 51. However, women can begin to experience changes to their physiology for up to 10 years before the menopause, this period is known as perimenopause.
Magnesium – functions, benefits and latest research
Magnesium is often in the spotlight for its numerous proposed benefits of magnesium, including how it is used to support insomnia, and how 10% of the population may be “noticeably deficient” in the essential mineral. The therapeutic use of magnesium may not be news to nutritional therapists, but this provides a good opportunity to review magnesium, its benefits, and the latest research.
The NEURO Plan for brain health
Serialised in the Daily Mail and featured in a long review article in The Saturday Times, a new book called The Alzheimer’s Solution, written by neurologists Dr Dean Sherzai and Dr Ayesha Sherzai, has generated a huge amount of interest in the British press. Perhaps this is a reflection of our concern in the UK with this disease; many of us being touched by it directly or through friends and loved ones. Dementia is now the leading cause of death in the UK and Alzheimer’s disease is the main form of dementia.
Do you have the guts to be happy?
It is now widely understood that good digestion within the gut is directly linked to brain function and behaviour. Indeed, this is so much so that the gut is often referred to as the ‘second brain’ and is revolutionising our understanding of the links between digestion, mood, health and even the way we think.
The beneficial effects of Ashwagandha and Bacopa
Ayurvedic medicine and philosophy has been around for over 3000 years and herbs have been part of this therapy for centuries. Herbs such as Ashwagandha and Bacopa Monnieri have been a robust part of this Ayurvedic medicine for this time and are traditionally used as a Rasayana (tonic) for their wide-ranging health benefits. Rasayana is described as an herbal or metallic preparation that promotes a youthful state of physical and mental health and expands happiness.
