• why breakfast matters •⁠
⁠
Breakfast has taken a bit of a knock these last few years. Thanks to the current craze for intermittent fasting, it seems to have gone the same way that bread and potatoes did in the noughties (sad face).⁠
⁠
But to be honest, my issue isn’t with IF itself. I think it’s mostly an excellent principle that encourages moderation and the science shows us it’s good for us. It may need tweaking to fit you personally, especially for women, but overall, it’s a sensible approach.⁠
⁠
My issue is that it’s breakfast that’s taken the hit.⁠
⁠
Find out why in my Sunday Muse-letter tomorrow. Sign up via the link in my bio. And tell your friends 😉⁠

• Point of the week •⁠
⁠
This isn't a point that I use a lot as it's pretty powerful and I tend to keep it for when it's really deeply needed. It's a bit of a special occasion point.⁠
⁠
This week I used it for a patient who is struggling to shake the last remnants of covid still hanging around some 9 months after the initial infection. ⁠
⁠
From a physical point of view it strengthens the lungs, dispersing fullness in the chest and relieving pain and discomfort. ⁠
⁠
From an emotional point of view we can refer to its name for guidance. This point goes right to the centre of our inner richness, our central treasury, the centre of our being. It helps us not only to breath in fresh air, but also to take in the goodness around us. ⁠

• let yourself fall ill •⁠
⁠
I'm drawn to these words because they contain within them the idea that we need not necessarily fear illness. By allowing ourselves to be ill, or for things to fall apart more generally, we create space for healing.⁠
⁠
Illness is often our bodies way of telling us that something's wrong, something's out of balance. Let's listen in and allow the process of illness and recovery to happen.⁠

• sickness guilt •⁠
⁠
When we're sick we all want to recover quickly. But we often tell ourselves that we can't take time to rest.⁠
⁠
• Do you find it hard to prioritise yourself?⁠
• Have you made yourself indispensable?⁠
• Do you think being sick is a weakness?⁠
⁠
Whether these thoughts are coming from your inner-critic, your boss or your family, you don't need to feel guilty about taking time to recover.⁠

I talk about this more in my newsletter tomorrow. Sign up via the link in my bio to read more.⁠

• raison d'etre •⁠
⁠
This quote from Maya Angelou distills everything that I think about women's health. ⁠
⁠
Who else is going to advocate for our health, if not... us?⁠
⁠
Be your own best friend. Be your own health advocate. Be your own therapist. Prioritise your own self-care. It's time to stop putting everyone else needs before your own.⁠
⁠

• newsletter •⁠
⁠
I've had a few weeks off due to the insane pressure that is the SIX weeks of school holidays. It went well until around week four. Then it all just kind of unravelled. ⁠
⁠
But I'm back, with some reflections on what it means to us that the Queen has died. Whether you're a republican or monarchist, it doesn't really seem to matter. We're all feeling the wobble. I have some thoughts on this and what you can do to feel ok.⁠
⁠
So if you want to read more about this, or any of the other bits of bobs I muse on then sign up via the link in my bio. You'll also be the first to hear about special offers, workshops, courses and clinic updates.⁠

The Queen’s death feels unsettling even to those who don’t believe in monarchy.

Take care of yourselves today.

I’ve joined the world of seed-cycling and have a chat about it in my newsletter this week.

Seed-cycling is a way to support your hormones naturally with food.

I’ve been away this weekend so I’m a day late but it’ll be heading out this after if you want to sign up now.

• your secret superpower •⁠
⁠
Gratitude is an important component of a healthy mind and we can all benefit from including it into our daily lives - whether it's first thing in the morning, at the dinner table or something we think of before we drop off to sleep.⁠
⁠
But perhaps you've found that sometimes you run out of things to be grateful or find yourself saying the same thing again and again?⁠
⁠
Well did you know that there is actually an endless source of things to be grateful and once you tap into it it's like you discover that you have a secret super power?⁠

• out of office •⁠
⁠
I'm away on holiday for this week and whilst I did toy with the idea of creating some content for when I was away, I decided it was a much better idea to just switch off, unplug, and see you on the other side.⁠
⁠
Practise what you preach and all that!⁠
⁠
Summer holidays are here so my availability is limited throughout August. Book in early to avoid disappointment.⁠
⁠
Happy holidays folks ☀️⁠

• why rest matters •⁠
⁠
I think we all know deep down that rest matters.⁠
⁠
But we're led to believe that 'go, go, go' is the only way... well, to go.⁠
⁠
This belief keeps the wheels of productivity turning.⁠
⁠
But it's not sustainable. Any athlete will tell you that rest days are as important as the days you go at it hard.⁠
⁠
I encourage rest. Even if it's just for the hour you spend on my treatment couch (although I'd like it if you could do a bit more).⁠
⁠
I muse about the importance of rest in this week's newsletter. It comes out on Sunday so you still have time to subscribe via the link in my bio.⁠

• Sea of Blood •⁠
⁠
This is one of my favourite menopause points. It's called sea of blood because of it's action on the blood - in this instance I use it to cool the blood which helps relieve hot flushes.⁠
⁠
It's the 10th point on the Spleen channel, just about the knee and is a beautiful one to locate...there's a kind of tango-esque dance of the hand to locate it.⁠
⁠
Who knew that acupuncturists got their kicks out of locating points!?!⁠
