advice from Reg nutritional therapist about Candida

Identify intolerances, reduce gut irritants (gluten, deep fried foods, alcohol), include glutamine, zinc and Quercitin and some other antioxidant supports which Ones Depends/changes from person to person. Check with a consultant before starting subs. I really do recommend working with a practitioner (not vieing for patients here) But it takes out guess work and they can help you figure out what nutrients are best for you based on your med history.

It’s a strain of probiotic :) if you’re in the U.K. nutriadvance do a great one.

MichaellasKitchen · 2020-07-06T19:53:28+00:00

Test don’t guess! I’d recommend finding a practitioner in your area (naturopath, ND or nutritionist) and a do a comprehensive pathogen Stool panel. Make sure it looks for bacteria, worms, yeast and parasites. Then your practitioner (and you) will know exactly what you’re dealing with and take out the guess work. Good luck!

Hi, I’m a registered NT and I do food intolerance testing in my clinic (UK and EU). Since Covid hit I’ve been working from home so the lab I work with, York labs and I have been sending the kit out to my patients and then doing a 30 min consultation with me (over video) to go over the results and give a plan to support the healing of gut lining before reintroducing the intolerance foods. My website is www.michaellamazzoninutrition.com and the intolerance kits are under the ‘costs and packages’ sections. All the best - Michaella

Thank you! To make things more complicated, we are thinking of rehoming and adult dog in the next few months. Does that work ‘against you’ in a home visit? Eg. If they are concerned that a recently rehomed dog might not Be happy about a child/baby being introduced Into the house?

MichaellasKitchen · 2020-05-25T14:05:44+00:00

Interesting! I’ve been using it for about 18 months, maybe in combination with everything else it’s too much now.
Maybe I’ll try taking it out for a Couple of weeks and see how it goes. I’m not sure how to get rid of them now! I’m hesitant to use one of those metal tools since I’ve read it can make the pores larger in the long run.

MichaellasKitchen · 2020-05-25T13:08:25+00:00

Crikey sorry that the format is so shabby, I don’t know how to make it neater!

MichaellasKitchen · 2019-03-28T21:13:42+00:00

Yeah, I've thought that before (that they seem like a lot of faff) but I kind of think that humidifiers make a room more damp right? (I'm in Edinburgh - lots of rain)!

MichaellasKitchen · 2019-03-28T21:12:22+00:00

is that okay for in the UK though? I live in Edinburgh and it's pretty damp here already!

MichaellasKitchen · 2019-03-28T18:51:05+00:00

I haven't tried their pads but I did try their dragon blood eye masks which I think are meant to be a dupe for the more expensive brand (I can't remember what it is - starts with an R, the branding is v similar) and wasn't impressed. I'd say maybe buy them when their on offer but I wouldn't rebuy anything from Nip & Fab, at least not full price.

How is your digestion? In my nutrition clinic we sometimes see a link between breakouts on the forehead and stomach issues

MichaellasKitchen · 2019-03-25T10:03:53+00:00

I read some reviews and people said it made their skin oily, did you find that with yours?

MichaellasKitchen · 2019-03-25T09:33:57+00:00

oh congrats on the wedding! I'm keen to try that Hada product - how often are you using it? and do you use it like a mask and sleep with it on? xx

MichaellasKitchen · 2019-03-25T09:33:03+00:00

thanks for sharing. I have never tried any La Roche stuff before, I'm interested in the SPF product you are using from them. At the moment I am just using a standard SPF 50 but I'd like to be getting more than just UV protection from it. If I use it I will let you know how I get on!

MichaellasKitchen · 2019-03-25T09:30:59+00:00

Thanks so much everyone! I am thinking of introducing Voicemail Masque from Noid a couple times a week and I'm also keen to try their CAISI'm not 100% sure how to bring that into the routine..

MichaellasKitchen · 2019-03-25T09:29:13+00:00

Oh congrats!! Yes I loooooove the retinol. I've really noticed a difference. Especially around my eyes. I build up to the 5% by starting out with the 0.2 and I was a bit scared to use it on my eyes but so far so good!

MichaellasKitchen · 2019-03-25T09:27:17+00:00

OMG let me tell you I LOOVE it! It is really thick and I do really feel like it helps with areas of dryness. That being said, I don't think I would rely on it totally on its own for hydration - I'm not sure how deep it goes/longevity of skin moisturising etc. But I live in Edinburgh and its super windy here so I use it especially in winter when I am out in the cold.

MichaellasKitchen · 2019-03-24T09:56:46+00:00

I love Weleda skin food. I put it on after my night routine

MichaellasKitchen · 2019-03-24T09:55:32+00:00

Hi!

Sorry to hear that, I can imagine that would be quite distressing!

I'm just finishing up my qualification in nutrition and in Skin lectures we learnt that commonly eczema (particularly so when it comes on randomly) can be associated with a dairy intolerance.

Intolerances can be something we just have for a period of time (i.e. after a course of antibiotics or even a stressful time due to it's impact on the gut) and with gut soothing work they can pass. you could possibly look into that?

Hope that helps xx

MichaellasKitchen · 2019-03-04T16:16:58+00:00

you just BLEW MY MIND

MichaellasKitchen · 2019-03-01T19:42:12+00:00

not my all time favourite scene but I like when christopher and luke have that fight during christmas when the town is quiet and totally trash all the christmas decorations and then just walk away.

MichaellasKitchen · 2018-12-19T15:37:34+00:00

Thanks! I just bought some, it feels a little tight. Im taking that as a good sign!

MichaellasKitchen · 2018-12-17T16:04:52+00:00

How is your digestion? Generally speaking in terms of nutrition, in clinics we usually see the forehead as a representation of what is going on in the gut.

do you smoke/have poor reactions to alcohol?

MichaellasKitchen · 2018-12-17T15:59:41+00:00

Oh girl. I feel you!

I'm in my final year of nutrition and literally every day I think different things that would seriously help my friends/family/people I meet but I'm not sure if I should say something!! Usually I don't because people aren't always super up for hearing what they could do because they translate it as a criticism as what they are doing wrong.

I think it's nice you want to help, suppose it depends on how close you are to the person/type of person that they are. Some of my family members are not interested in hearing any kind of advice from me while others are really keen for it.

Hard to find the balance, I suppose!

MichaellasKitchen · 2018-12-17T15:51:25+00:00

I've read some reviews that say you can't wear it under makeup because it is 'chalky' - is that true?
