Well it’s a long time since I last wrote anything here. Despite the doom and gloom in the news, clinics have been busy with people coming in with all sorts of health problems – lots of IBS, menopausal symptoms, post-viral fatigue, and skin problems which often get worse into the winter months.

My new Weight Loss Clinic at Bristo Place is now up and running, offering nutritional and herbal support for weight management. Call the clinic on 0131 225 5542 to book an initial appointment or email me for more information.

In the news today, more about the link between B vitamins and Alzheimer’s Disease. Vitamin B3 has been shown in mice to protect the brain from the degenerative changes seen in this condition. However, you do need to be careful with B3, it can be toxic in very high doses, and often also produces an unpleasant flushing effect (think beetroot colour!).
