Do you wake up tired no matter how much you’ve slept? Struggle to focus, think clearly, or keep up with daily tasks? Feel like your body is constantly “running on empty”, even though every test comes back “normal”?

What if the root of your fatigue wasn’t just “in your head,” but in your cells?

It’s time we start calling chronic fatigue what it really is: a breakdown in your body’s energy delivery system. And the story begins at the microscopic level - with your mitochondria.

Fatigue is your body waving a white flag. It’s a clear message that your cells are struggling and your metabolic systems need support - not suppression.

Conventional medicine often responds to this signal with a symptom-management approach. You may be offered stimulants, sleep aids, antidepressants, or told “there’s nothing wrong with you.” But none of these fix the problem at its root.

As a Holistic Health Coach, I take a different approach. I see fatigue as a clue - a map pointing toward the deeper imbalances in your body. And with the right tools, we can begin to restore the systems that generate true, sustainable energy.

Every day, we’re exposed to a cocktail of invisible threats - environmental toxins lurking in our food, water, air, and even household products. While we might not see them, they have a profound impact on our health. Scientists now recognise that toxins are major contributors to chronic diseases, accelerating aging, weakening immunity, and increasing the risk of conditions like cancer, cardiovascular disease, and neurological disorders.

But how much of an impact do these toxins actually have? Research suggests that up to 70% of chronic diseases may be linked to environmental exposures. The question isn’t whether toxins affect your health, it’s how much damage they may already be doing.

As a Health Coach with additional qualifications in Environmental Medicine, one of the main focus areas of my programmes is to help you to reduce your toxin exposure and support your body’s detoxification systems.

Dementia is a global health crisis, with over 55 million people worldwide currently living with the condition. The most common form, Alzheimer’s Disease, accounts for 60-70% of cases. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), nearly 10 million new cases are diagnosed each year, and this number is expected to triple by 2050 if no effective interventions are implemented.

While genetics can influence dementia risk, lifestyle choices can modify gene expression. Possession of the APOE4 gene, the strongest genetic risk factor for Alzheimer’s, is not a definitive fate. Studies show that individuals with APOE4 who follow a healthy lifestyle have a much lower risk of developing dementia than those who do not.

Encouragingly, this means there are actionable steps we can take to reduce our risk and protect our brain health. Research has shown that the changes to the brain which lead to dementia begin 20 - 30 years before any symptoms of cognitive impairment arise. This is why it’s so important to take action now.
