Kombucha is a tasty, healthy, non-alcoholic and very Summery probiotic drink
I'm excited to tell you that I've introduced this incredible drink into the clinic. But what is it? Kombucha is fermented tea. It is a combined yeast and bacterial fermentation that results in a probiotic drink that is slightly tart (that’s the flavour of the beneficial acids and vinegars). Its also very low in sugars. Kombucha is a fantastic way to achieve a healthier gut, (particularly when used in combination with the gut transformation program) and a great...

In this article we explore how important it is to have a diet balanced in EFA’s; what they are, and why certain EFA’s are so important...
The events of the last few weeks with the Covid-19 outbreak has affected us all in many ways. Ensuring we have a solid immune system has never been so important. A weakened immune system can make us more vulnerable to a host of nasty viruses like Covid-19. We have seen that those that are affected the worse are those labelled with 'chronic underlying diseases'. These groups are elderly people above 70 years of age, and people with underlying conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, chronic respiratory disease...
Milk protein is the second most common intolerant when we test it in the clinic. The following excerpt from Dr Pizzorno's 'The Toxin Solution' may explain why we become intolerant to the sugar component (lactose).
Mother's milk is a natural food for infants, but once we leave infancy, most people's intestinal cells stop producing lactase, the enzyme needed to digest milk sugar. Some people continue to produce lactase into adulthood but lose it in later life. Lactose intolerance is especially common in adults of African, Mexican and Mediterranian...

A new study, published in the British Journal of Nutrition, and using data from 6,438 women collected over the course of 12 years has found that an anti-inflammatory diet may actually lower the risk of depression. Compared to women consuming a pro-inflammatory diet, the researchers found that an anti-inflammatory diet reduced the likelihood of depression by a very significant 26%. The Lorisian food intolerance test we can do here is designed to reduce inflammation so therefore can help with depression.
