Are you quick to blame certain foods for your digestive woes? What if I told you, it’s not always the food that’s the culprit?

I have always taught my clients to listen to their body and see which foods sit well and which foods don't. It is not as simple however, as blaming the food for the symptom. It is important to look beyond that, and rule out other reasons for the symptoms you get when you eat that food.

I delve into body signals, exploring the surprising link between sodium deficiency and reflux, I also discuss the role of proton pump inhibitors (common reflux medications) and their unintended consequences. Stressing the need to unearth the root causes, rather than resort to quick fixes that may manage your symptoms, but may not be a long term solution for you.

Ever wondered why your taste buds seem to change over time, or why you can't resist those sugar cravings? I explore how nutrient deficiencies can play havoc with your taste buds. And how those relentless sugar cravings might be signaling low blood sugar, a poor diet or an out of balance gut microbiome. I discuss the evolution of children's taste buds and how this can influence their acceptance of previously shunned foods.

Lastly, I touch on the complexities of interpreting your body's signs, an endeavor that can sometimes seem confusing an overwhelming; and may require an experienced practitioner (like me) to help you uncover the mysteries of our bodies' signs and signals.
