In my health awareness talks, I often include the point that with most things in life, we follow the pattern of knowledge-choice-consequence (think about moving house, planning a holiday, getting insurance – even relationships!), but when it comes to health, we seem to work back to front. We start with the consequence…a health issue… and then consider choices to deal with it, but we either get overwhelmed if trying to self-help or end up at the doctor, and that’s as far as our choices go. That’s because we don’t have enough knowledge about what is happening in our body.

Instead of listening to the world and his wife, including Dr Google, why not listen to your own body? It would have been giving you clues for a while leading up to you noticing the symptom(s). Anything that you’re noticing – however trivial it may seem – could be a sign of nutritional deficiencies which, if left unaddressed, might manifest into something more serious which could have been prevented.

So, pay attention to what your body is saying. What’s changing? Increased ear wax? Coating on your tongue? Ridges on your fingernails? Niggly headache that’s becoming more regular? Digestion playing up? Anything you are treating or dealing with shouldn’t be looked at in isolation. Join up the dots. If you can’t do that, then I can help.

On my website I have some free fact sheets on common health issues, with natural solutions.
