I spent the day at the IPM Conference @ipmcongress I spent the day at the IPM Conference @ipmcongress - Integrative & Personalised Medicine, surrounded by doctors, practitioners, and speakers who are deeply committed to a more holistic, root-cause approach to health.

It was one of those days that stays with you.

To be in a room with medical professionals - many of whom have been practicing for over 30 years - openly speaking about the limitations of the conventional model was both powerful and deeply affirming. Again and again, the message was clear: for so many patients, the standard approach is simply not enough. It often manages symptoms, but does not always support true healing or recovery.
 
What moved me most was hearing leading voices in brain health and functional medicine speak not only about disease, but about prevention, restoration, and possibility.
 
Among the incredible speakers were @mindhealth360 @dr.ebonicornish @drmiguelmateas @dr.felicegersh @raydorseymd Dr. Ray Dr. Kat Toups, who shared clinical work on preventing and even reversing cognitive decline alongside Dr. Dale Bredesen’s approach.

One was the growing understanding that many chronic conditions, including neurological ones, do not appear overnight. They build over time through layers of stress, inflammation, toxicity, poor nourishment, hormonal shifts, sleep disruption, and overload. 

I was so pleased to hear the importance of the vagus nerve and nervous system regulation - something that, as a yoga teacher, wellness health coach felt especially meaningful to hear…  echoed so strongly in medical spaces.

So much of what I hold for my clients through somatic, restorative, and regulating practices is about creating the conditions in which the body can begin to soften, settle, and recover.

Create the Inner Conditions that allow the Body and Brain to Heal.

And perhaps that is part of the deeper invitation for all of us - not only to do more, but to create the inner conditions that allow the body and brain to heal.

My porridge this morning tasted even better… with My porridge this morning tasted even better… with extra cacao powder from @bristolfungarium and, this afternoon a better concentration with a few drops of lion’s mane tincture. 🍄

Mushrooms such as reishi, shiitake, maitake, and lion’s mane have been valued for centuries, especially in China and other parts of Asia, and are now receiving growing attention in the UK, Europe, and the US too. In particular, lion’s mane is often associated with supporting focus, memory, concentration, and nerve health, and is widely spoken about for its connection to Nerve Growth Factor (NGF) and support for brain function.

I have always believed that natural tools and a holistic approach can support us far more deeply and beautifully than society often gives them credit for. 

This feels especially important when we speak about brain health in perimenopause and menopause - a time when so many women can experience changes in memory, focus, mood, sleep, and overall cognitive clarity as hormones shift. This is an area that deserves so much more awareness, education, and support, and I believe women need to feel more empowered in how they care for their brain, nervous system, and overall wellbeing through these transitions.

Thank you Tom @bristolfungarium for the conversation, the knowledge, and the passion behind what you do. It was such a pleasure meeting you.😊🍄

Arrived at the @ipmcongress Conference to be a par Arrived at the @ipmcongress Conference to be a part of this growing movement of doctors, practitioners who not only want to see but implement holistic, therapeutic approach to person health and wellbeing. 

It’s my 3rd year here and can’t wait to see who else joined this movement from medical field and others who believe this approach to whole-persons health ( the root cause ) is the key!

Writing by hand is generally slower, which forces Writing by hand is generally slower, which forces you to process information more deeply. Studies have found that people often remember material better when they handwrite notes instead of typing them. ✍️

Handwriting: 

✨improves your focus 
✨ strengthen memory 
✨ enhance creativity 
✨ better motor skills 
✨ stronger comprehension
✨ deeper learning 
✨ activates more areas of the brain 🧠 
✨ slows you down a little

✨ exercises coordination 
✨ supports overall cognitive function 

GIVE yourself BRAIN workout! 🧠✍️😀

Who hand writes most days ?? Takes notes or journaling? 💙
