Studies suggest speaking two languages may delay dementia symptoms by 4 to 5 years.
It’s not prevention, but switching between languages gives your brain a daily workout. The good news is that it’s never too late to start. Learning a new language later in life still challenges your brain in helpful ways.
I’m bilingual, so I get to forget the same word in two languages 😄
Which language would you love to learn? 👇

Happy weekend🌿
A bit of a personal one today.
For years, I was a classic 3am waker. Swipe to see the small evening habits that changed it for me 👉
Everyone is different, so please don’t just copy my supplements. Check with your GP first if you have a health condition. For milk thistle, speak to a qualified herbalist, especially if you’re on the pill or other medication.
Are you a 3am waker too? Save this for tonight 💬

Long day, busy head, and that glass of w**e is calling? 🍷
Here’s a gentler way to wind down. These are five of my favourite evening teas to calm the nervous system and help you sleep better:
🌼 Chamomile: the classic bedtime cup, and kind to an unsettled tummy too 🍋 Lemon balm: a hug in a cup for a racing mind 💜 Passionflower: for when worries keep you awake 🌿 Tulsi: for those wired-and-tired days 🍯 Linden: soft, soothing, and lovely when the sniffles creep in
Make it a little ritual: kettle on, phone down, and a few slow breaths while it brews.
Which one will you try tonight? Tell me in the comments 👇 And save this for your next evening cuppa.
Not sure which one suits you, or taking medication? Ask a qualified herbalist first.

One avocado gives you around 10g of fibre, and you need about 25g a day. That’s almost half your daily fibre in one delicious fruit 🥑Fibre is one of the most important things on your plate. It supports healthy elimination and keeps you regular, helps keep blood sugar steady and keeps you feeling fuller for longer. It also feeds the good bacteria in your gut. Yet most of us eat far less than we need.

Seeds like chia and flax are rich in fibre, but we eat them by the teaspoon. Half an avocado gives you about 5g in one go, which makes it one of the easiest and tastiest ways to top up.

Swipe to see how avocado compares with other fibre-rich foods 👉

How do you like your avocado: on toast, in a salad or straight from the skin? Tell me below 👇

Did you know your gut makes around 90% of your body’s serotonin? 🌿

Serotonin is best known as a “feel-good” messenger, but in the gut it also helps control digestion and how food moves through.

Gut serotonin doesn’t travel straight to your brain; your brain makes its own. But your gut and brain talk to each other all day long through the vagus nerve, your gut bacteria and your immune system. That’s why stress can upset your stomach, and why a troubled gut can affect how you feel.

Looking after your digestion may be one way of supporting your mood too

If low mood is lasting, please talk to your GP as well 💛

This gut–mood connection is something I look at with every client in my clinic in Celbridge. If you’d like support with your digestion, send me a message💬

When did you last sit down and have someone look after you?

Reflexology is a gentle, hands-on treatment working pressure points on the feet. No special preparation needed. Just come as you are, take your shoes off, and let me do the rest.

I’d love to see you.

I thought being flexible was a good thing.
I always assumed that being as flexible as I am was normal, and I never thought my other symptoms were related to it at all.
Only last year my lovely physiotherapist Fiona (BeLú Physiotherapy Clinic ) told me that I am hypermobile.
I had missed it in myself. You don’t normally diagnose yourself, and as a naturopath I don’t diagnose anyone.
I’ll admit I didn’t take it seriously at first. I only started to investigate and research it recently, after a bad flare-up a few weeks ago. My recent 3-day seminar had a lot of information and research about it, and everything made sense:

The pain, even when I was doing all the right things.
Prolapses and slipped discs in my 20s, far too young.
The tiredness that had nothing to do with what I had done that day.
Being constantly sick and tired for most of my younger years.
The digestive issues.
The heart palpitations without any exertion.
The sleep problems.
The clumsiness, and constantly banging into things.
Sitting in “interesting” positions and always changing them.

The list of what I considered normal goes on.

No wonder these are the things I ended up working with every day.

The good thing is that I started looking after my health more seriously in my early 30s. I changed my diet and my lifestyle, started taking herbs as medicine, took my sleep and rest seriously, and kept exercising. I think that gave me a big advantage, and it’s why I’m as well as I am today.

If only I had known to concentrate on strength rather than stretching.

Now I think I will be doing strength training for the rest of my life, to be in as little pain as possible.

So that’s why I asked you in my stories. Which of these did you think was normal too?

If you wake at 3am, a Chinese medicine practitioner wouldn’t ask about your mattress. They’d ask what you’ve been holding in.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, each organ has its own two hours on the body clock, and 1 to 3am belongs to the liver. In that tradition the liver is also linked with frustration and things left unsaid.
This is a traditional view, not a diagnosis, and waking at 3am doesn’t mean anything is wrong with your liver. If poor sleep is ongoing, mention it to your GP.
What time do you wake? Tell me below.
Rima 🌿
Further reading: Yo San University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, ‘Waking Up at 3 or 4 AM?’ Huang Di Nei Jing (Ling Shu), the classical text behind the organ clock”
What the sources say:
* Yo San University, an acupuncture college in Los Angeles, describes waking between 1 and 3am as a possible sign of liver congestion from stress or suppressed emotions, and links the liver with unresolved anger, frustration and stress. Article
* Me & Qi, a TCM reference site, traces the organ clock to the Huang Di Nei Jing (Ling Shu), chapter 44. Article
* Pulse Acupuncture makes the point that 3am waking in this system signals an energetic imbalance, not necessarily liver disease in the Western sense. Article
