** In Collaboration** If you would like to find one area of your health that you can manage better, and one that is responsible for many areas of your life, it is your digestion. Your digestive system is closely related to your immune system and your nervous system, so it is keeping your body and mind balanced.

Concentration When your body is dealing with hard to digest food, there will not be enough energy going into your brain.

Dr of what turned 3, which is surely at least 10 years in blog years? I can’t believe that I had a little idea to document my PhD journey through a blog and on Instagram three years ago, and that it has grown so much since then. Over 6000 followers on Instagram, 379 blog followers, and almost 40,000 blog views! […]
I have had notes for this blog post for a few months now, I just couldn’t work out how to write it in a way that would do the topic justice. I wanted to write about this topic when I was in an (semi) objective frame of mind, rather than in the middle of a stressful day. I wanted to […]
Last week, I was lucky enough to meet Dr. Jane Goodall and attend her tour. I have been a volunteer for the Jane Goodall Roots & Shoots organisation for a few years now, I was previously the state coordinator but due to #phdlife I gave that up. As I am still a volunteer though, I got to help organise the […]
