I decided upon this path when I was competing as an International Athlete. I had become quite ill with what transpired to be multiple food intolerances and Candida, neither of which were talked about much 20 years ago. I decided I needed to understand how to heal myself and help others who were also Confused and concerned about their health.

How long do I have to avoid a food for and do I need to avoid it forever!

The excessive use of processed foods. We need to get into habits of cooking fresh foods from scratch. You don’t need to be a cookery expert, you can make wholesome meals that don’t take long to prepare or cook.

It has improved immensely, with a wider and more diverse range of foods, and also a superior taste to what they were even 5 years ago.

Scone, butter, jam, This was my go to snack when I was competing many years ago, and still is now.

I have managed to clear all mine up by using gut healing nutrients, so happily at the moment I am free from.
