Health Advice and Testimonials

“I’ve never felt so normal”

“When Patsy came to see me she was suffering from a foggy brain, lack of concentration, feeling generally cold and experiencing low moods. Her hair had been falling out for over 5 years; she had actually filled an Asda carrier bag with her fallen hair! She also had patchy eyebrows and brittle nails and was suffering from constipation and insomnia. Her periods were heavy and more frequent than usual. She was taking medication for depression from her doctor.

‘Is it the side effects from the medication or is there something very wrong with me?’ was the question that Patsy asked herself, and against the advice of her doctor she weaned herself off the medication. She had carried out some research on the internet in order to help herself and decided to start taking Maca and Raw Chocolate - 1 heaped tablespoon of each a day in a smoothie - to help balance her hormones and elevate her mood.

I suggested that she add the supplement Kelp (600mg x 3 a day) to her programme and after only 1 week of taking it, her words were “I’ve never felt so normal”. After 10 weeks her hair has stopped falling out, her periods have settled down and she can think straight again.

With a much clearer mind, Patsy has been able to establish better eating patterns and now exercises regularly - typically cycling or walking. She has lost 7lbs since talking the kelp and making those small, but very important changes to her lifestyle.”
