Don’t just cope with your symptoms

Impaired liver function can result in an array of health complications, including cirrhosis, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, kidney disease, malnutrition, and immune system dysfunction. These conditions can severely affect an individual's overall well-being and may require long-term medical intervention.

With Plantbased products, you can naturally detox your liver, regain health and reverse chronic liver conditions as fatty liver. No harsh medicines and No drastic changes! Simply, work on improving your liver function with your diet and lifestyle to find relief from the symptoms and also prevent health risks in future.

 Thyroid health 

Thyroid disease is a condition that affects the function of the thyroid gland and change the levels of thyroid hormones in our body. The thyroid hormones regulate our body's metabolism and many vital functions necessary for survival. Thyroid disease can happen due to low or overactive thyroid function, inflammation of thyroid gland (thyroiditis), autoimmune thyroid conditions and even presence of thyroid nodules and thyroid cancer.

Thyroid treatment with Glory Edward recommended products is highly effective to balance thyroid hormones, regulate metabolism and restore thyroid gland function in an all natural way.

Thyroid problems can cause a number of health issues including heart problems, osteoporosis, mood problems, digestive problems, fatigue, weight gain, hair loss, autoimmune conditions and feeling cold or hot all the time.

CHRONIC FATIGUE & PAIN, IMMUNE IMBALANCE

· Exhaustion, tired & wired, weakness

· Chronic fatigue syndrome, long covid or post viral fatigue

· Pain syndromes- headaches & migraine, irritable bowel syndrome, fibromyalgia, arthritis, recurrent UTIs & interstitial cystitis, vulvodynia, endometriosis

· Histamine intolerance, inflammation, hives, allergies.

​

We  have devoted significant time to keeping up to date with the research on Chronic Fatigue, Fibromyalgia and in more recent times to Long COVID, having now seen a number of people with long COVID who have responded well. 

​

Potential commonalities include brain inflammation, adrenal imbalance from chronic stress and trauma, neurotransmitter imbalances, gut & immune dysfunction, mitochondrial imbalances (our energy factories in each cell), histamine imbalances and so on. And with a tailored, integrated approach, I hope to significantly improve your well-being.

   BRAIN, MENTAL HEALTH & NEUROLOGICAL

· Poor concentration or memory

· Brain fog

· Feeling down, low, anxious, obsessive, irritable, angry outbursts, impulsive, on edge, or hyper

· ADHD, ADD, Autism

· Low motivation/apathy

· Hypervigilance, noise or light sensitive, emotionally sensitive

· Neuro-inflammation

· Mental illness such as anxiety, including general anxiety disorder, depression, bipolar, PTSD, OCD, PMDD, phobias, panic disorder, psychosis

· Postnatal depression or postpartum psychosis

· Cognitive decline- dementia e.g., Alzheimer’s, aphasia, neurodegeneration- Parkinson's, multiple sclerosis

Sadly rates of depression, anxiety and other mental health disorders such as bipolar, OCD, PTSD, PMDD (a severe form of premenstrual tension), ADHD and autism, and neurodegeneration (dementia) are sky rocketing. And many people experience anxiety, mood swings, poor concentration and memory, irritability and brain fog on a daily basis. 

​

10-20 percent of mothers experience postnatal depression (women with bipolar are alternatively at risk of postpartum psychosis). Unfortunately, there is a huge mental health crisis, which the NHS is sadly neither equipped to deal with nor does it have adequate funds. (I know this first hand, as I’ve experienced, like many others sadly, the lack of adequate care and provisions).
 

However, Nutritional Psychiatry (balancing the mind with nutritional measures, nutrigenomics, supplementation & lifestyle interventions) is a growing field with an increasing evidence base and recognition. So is the functional medicine approach to cognitive decline. They both seek to determine the underlying causes in order for health recovery or health stabilisation. 

 · PMS (premenstrual syndrome) or its more severe form- PMDD (premenstrual dysmorphic disorder)

· PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome) which often involves oestrogen dominance/ raised testosterone

· Fluid retention, tender breasts, heavy/painful periods

· Fibroids or endometriosis (in part linked to oestrogen dominance)

· Perimenopause & menopause - which cause a huge recalibration of the brain & nervous system. PMS & PMDD & mood disorders often worsen during this time

· Meno belly (fat around the middle linked to perimenopause & menopause)

· Underactive thyroid, e.g., Hashimoto's

· Fertility issues (including failed IVF & recurrent miscarriage)

· 

In males- low libido, low muscle mass, fat around the middle, low motivation

When our hormones are in balance (our stress hormone- cortisol, our fat storage hormone- insulin, ghrelin - appetite, our sex hormones and melatonin for sleep) we feel relaxed and there is improvement in our weight, less cravings, less problematic menstrual cycle, reproductive health and better sleep.  

Balancing hormones entails getting blood sugar levels right to reduce circulating insulin, supporting our stress response as excess cortisol via our brain (and adrenals) blocks progesterone causing a female hormone balance. We need to support our liver which detoxes our hormones, our gut which has to break down the hormones, stopping them being reabsorbed into the body.

Perimenopause and menopause are phases of life that can cause huge range of unpleasant symptoms, and nutritional therapy can assist with this tumultuous period of fluctuating hormones, or work alongside conventional treatments. 

Unfortunately, NHS tests are not always cut out to detect hormone imbalance, so doing our Scan.    

BLOOD SUGAR, DIABETES & Biological Ageing

· Blood sugar & energy crashes, insulin resistance or (pre)diabetes

· Feeling hangry with uncontrollable cravings

· Chronic thrush

· Inflammation, fat around the belly, high blood pressure & cholesterol, fatty liver

· Poor brain function & metabolic health

· Accelerated brain (& cellular) ageing
 

Shockingly around one in four adults in the UK have metabolic syndrome, a cluster of symptoms which often occur together which significantly increases the risk of type 2 diabetes, stroke and heart disease. Tell-tale signs may include a large waist, unhealthy cholesterol levels, raised blood pressure, insulin resistance and blood glucose markers in the prediabetic or diabetic range. One is then more prone to excess clotting & chronic inflammation and it can increase the risk of dementia & other neurological issues, mood disturbances, stroke, fatty liver, and certain cancers & so on.
 

This is very much a Western condition that may be caused by chronic stress, a sedentary lifestyle, a diet too high in processed foods, refined carbs, as well as excess alcohol consumption, gut bacteria imbalances, nutrient deficiencies and so on. Women can become equally prone to this after the menopause and there are genetic factors involved (there is more prevalence in certain ethnicities for example.)

VEGAN & VEGETARIAN

I also have expertise in creating bespoke plans for vegans and vegetarians who are ever increasing in number due to ethical, environmental, religious and health considerations. And I have even devised a unique nutritional lab test for vegans, to ensure they don’t have any nutritional deficiencies, which is not uncommon
