Mirthe Precision Health

Longevity is such a buzz word these days. Longevity supplements, clinics and social media content is popping up everywhere. But what is it really all about, and how can we utilise some of the wonderful longevity research out there to help us live a healthier and longer life?
With it being such a hype, there obviously comes the usual attention seeking non-sense with it, and a lot of confusion of what is legit and how these things actually work.

Rest assured, as always I have done my due diligence and dug right into the research to make sense of it all for you. I have also been lecturing and seeing clients on the topic of health optimisation and longevity from a Functional Medicine perspective since 2017, though it really is incredible what an uptick in attention it has gained recently – which is wonderful! – As the research shows that we really are in control (to a large extent) over our health trajectory, empowering us to take our health into our own hands.

Read my latest blog post introducing the hallmarks of aging and how Functional Medicine looks at this topic. I'd love your thoughts!

Longevity and health optimisation - Precision Health and Functional Medicine with Mirthe Longevity is such a buzz word these days.

Bloated, in particular after healthy foods like beans, veggies and even pro- & prebiotics? 🥴

SIBO and SIFO may be to blame 🦠🧬.

Most people benefit from eating MORE fiber (such as beans, vegetables) and some additional pre- and probiotics.

In a person with SIBO/ SIFO this can often lead to WORSE symptoms and bloating!
What are SIBO & SIFO?

SIBO = Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth

SIFO = Small intestinal fungal overgrowth

An overgrowth of bacteria and/or fungus in the small intestines (in healthy GI tracts they should mostly be in the large intestine, with only SMALL amounts in the small intestines).

Struggling to shift weight around the waist? 🍎

Are you looking to drop a few kilos, have considered trends like intermittent fasting and the like but are worried of messing with your hormones and health?

Join me and for a webinar on how to optimise your metabolism and hormones for better health and wellbeing, with the welcome side effect of also shedding some unwanted pounds and toning up.

I will explain how topics like gut health, blood sugar control, stress and inflammation are related to holding onto weight, in particular around the waistline, and how they relate to longevity and health optimisation.

You will learn a few simple tricks and tools to implement right away such as how much protein you really need to support your metabolism, how to safely incorporate intermittent fasting into your cycle, how to lower inflammation and cortisol, and more.

This is followed by a Q&A session where you get a chance to ask anything you’d like to know about metabolism, hormones and health optimisation.

The webinar will be recorded in case you cannot make the live session.

Dm me to join 😘.

Anyone else needing a reminder? ☺️
Happy weekend everyone 😘.

Health is more than what we eat, the supplements we take and exercise. Our mind plays a huge factor, via our cortisol system. Constantly being in fight-or-flight mode messes with our biology (inflammation, blood sugar, immune system, hormones, metabolism, hunger and satiety signaling, and the list goes on).

And our brain doesn’t recognize the difference between real or perceived danger, emotional or physical ‘stressors’. Are you ruminating about things that you can’t control, keeping you in fight-or-flight mode and pumping out cortisol non-stop?

From a functional medicine perspective, we also look at other factors, such as chronic infections, heavy metals or nutrient imbalances that can act like ‘stress’, and aim to restore these.

And lastly, and I will be talking more about this in future posts, but sometimes our brains are not functioning (and unable to make cognitive changes) due to inflammation (due to gut issues, etc), free radical damage or other factors messing with our serotonin, dopamine and other neurotransmitter production. Once the brain is biochemically balanced, cognitive behavioral therapy might work much better! 🙏🏼🙏🏼

What are your thoughts on this? I’d love to know, comment below! 👇🏻

Verbier friends!
Come join me for a pop-up Fit Yoga Flow Class in March! It’s been a while since teaching there, but I’m delighted to run a few classes while there in a few weeks time 🥰🧘🏼‍♀️.

Can’t make the in person sessions in Shoreditch and Chelsea? Then join me on Zoom for an online workshop!

Upcoming workshop alert 🥰👩🏼‍⚕️.

‘Not another diet - How to eat, live, supplement & test for better Hormones, Metabolism & Health’ .

📍Zoom, March 23rd 6.30pm

What if instead of going on yet another restrictive diet, focusing on a quick solution and doomed to fail long-term, you finally started eating and living to balance your hormones, lower inflammation and nourish your body with what it needs to thrive, now and in the long run?

You will walk away with a toolbox of simple strategies to start implementing right away. There will also be a group Q&A session for all your pressing questions.

Link in bio to find out more (& to sign up). I can’t wait to meet some of you in person! 🙏🏼😍

Trouble conceiving?

Research suggests that there are several factors likely at play:

👉🏻 PCOS
👉🏻 Infections
👉🏻 Endometriosis
👉🏻 Cervical mucus changes
👉🏻 Uterine factors: polyps, fibroids, tumors
👉🏻 Chronic inflammation
👉🏻 Hormonal and metabolic alterations

Great news is that the same research paper also shows that there are lifestyle factors that can modify and improve the above 😍🙋🏼‍♀️, such as

🧘🏼‍♀️ Psychological stress in social life and work. Cortisol plays a huge role in our reproductive cycle and hormones, which all influence endometriosis, PCOS, how we fight infections, etc etc.

🥗 Dietary factors. What we eat and how much influences our estrogen levels, inflammation and cortisol, all of which have a direct and indirect impact on the health of our cycle, uterus, ovaries and fertility.

Do you have issues with your cycle, such as PMS, endometriosis, painful periods, cysts and more?

Or do you wonder if hormones are starting to be messy in your perimenopause journey, and whether you should start supporting them/ whether body identical HRT is right for you?

Then rather than guessing, run these simple labs to know more.

Blood draw (at any GP/ general blood draw centre):

👉🏻 Estrogen and progesterone on day 21 of your cycle (if the cycle is 28 days long)
👉🏻 Testosterone and DHEAs

If you’d like a little more detail, and wondering how your body is breaking down estrogen, stress levels, and more, then my go-to test with patients is the - dried urine hormone test (again around day 21 of the cycle).

Let me know if this is for you and I can help you order (and interpret) these for you 👩🏼‍⚕️🔬.

Did you know that depending on where on your monthly cycle you are, your body can be more or less prone to injuries?

While estrogen is crucial for bone and muscle health, it also affects our ligaments and tendons, making them softer.

Just before ovulation, around day 10-13 of the cycle, we have a steep rise in estrogen, making us more prone to ligament injuries!

Health is so much more than just what you eat! The people you have in your life very much influence your thoughts, beliefs (and stress biology). They can help you feel grounded, relaxed, empowered, or put you in constant self-doubt and fight-or-flight mode!
Being in constant fight-or-flight messes with our hormones & inflammation levels, contributing to

👉🏻 PMS/ painful periods
👉🏻 Endometriosis
👉🏻 Fibroids / cysts
👉🏻 PCOS
👉🏻 Perimenopause chaos like hot flashes
👉🏻 Moods wings & anxiety
👉🏻 Belly fat accumulation
👉🏻 Long term health risks like cancers, cardiovascular disease and more.

👉🏻 Excess weight around the middle that won’t budge

👉🏻 Trying yet another restrictive diet that is already doomed to fail from the get go, as it takes all the fun out of life?

So the more we fast, the better? Not so fast.

While fasting has wonderful health benefits, more is not always better, and overdoing it can in fact mess with hormones, our cycle and metabolism.

Having trouble with your thyroid?
Common symptoms of a sluggish thyroid are

👉🏻 Weight gain, in a ‘potato shape’ way - ie all over heaviness, rather than confined to the belly (apple shape) or butt (pear shape).

👉🏻 Fatigue

👉🏻 Cold sensitive

👉🏻 Hair loss

👉🏻 Cholesterol creeping up

👉🏻 Coarse voice

👉🏻 Depression and PMDD.

Thyroid hormones are made from protein and iodine - without those we simply cannot make enough. When testing my patients’ iodine, 99% are low. Are you getting enough?

Are you in your 20ies - 40ies and struggling with female hormone issues or are interested in being proactive about your health (and make sure your perimenopause will be as smooth as possible), and would love to learn how to eat, live and supplement to support your cycle, hormones & metabolism?

Worried about overeating, indulging, and ruining all your hard worked for results over the holidays? Don’t worry, try these simple tricks, and you will feel great after, without having to sacrifice all the fun!

I personally believe that it is ok to indulge a little on special occasions, if that is important for that individual to help them bond, have fun and enjoy life. In particular if they involve social connections and quality time with loved ones, which in themselves too are important for a healthy, fulfilled life.

However, to mitigate things, I generally advise my patients of following a few simple tricks to not feel entirely rubbish after the holidays 👉🏻 Click the link in the bio for my latest blog post with some simple tricks 😘.

Merry Xmas to you all ❤️❤️.

How to navigate the holidays and indulge - while staying healthy-ish! Merry christmas to you!  Thank you for being part of my community, and well done for making healthy living a choice. But with christmas upon us, are you like many of my patients, and worried about overeating, indulging, and ruining all your hard worked for results over the holidays?

Jokes aside 😂…

I generally believe it’s ok to indulge a little for special occasions if that’s important for the person, in particular if they involve social connections and quality time with loved ones.

- which in themselves too are
important for a healthy, fulfilled life. ❤️

However, to mitigate things, I generally advise my patients of following tricks to not feel entirely rubbish after:

Holiday tricks to stay healthy-ish over the festive period:

👉🏻 Whenever the meals aren’t compulsory, add some intermittent fasting, to give your body time to clean up (plus keep overall calories down)

👉🏻 Wait with alcohol until late afternoon/ evening, as once one has started to drink, you’ll be more likely to overeat

👉🏻 Stay hydrated, and eat protein & veg first. Then see if you’re still craving those treats.

👉🏻 Eat until you’re about 3/4 full, then wait 20 minutes and see if you still really want that second serving.
