His copper levels were hugely elevated in relation to zinc. This was making it very difficult for the body to use the zinc properly and made them more susceptible to the accumulation of aluminium (over 3x above the upper range of the test) which is a known neurotoxin. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5a2b2684c05420973b98a1/f665b83b-6d63-4709-9564-f2ce321c26b8/Zinc+rich+foods+Infographic+%281%29.png Blog - How zinc deficiency can affect your child’s mood and behaviour - Zinc rich foods The first place to start is ensuring your child is eating a variety of zinc rich foods.

Many of the same underlying factors can influence a wide range of women's health concerns. Rather than focusing on a diagnosis alone, Melanie works to identify the unique combination of factors contributing to your symptoms. The goal isn't simply to manage one condition, it is to understand how your whole body is functioning and create the conditions that allow your body to function at its best. Women commonly seek support for: • Lipoedema • Chronic inflammation • Fatigue • Hormonal health • Brain Fog • Gut health • Food intolerances https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5a2b2684c05420973b98a1/1588983849429-PCBJEFELL2O1SHXF86K6/healthybodynutrition-food7.jpg HOME - Your body isn’t working against you Your cells are responding to the environment they’re in. Every day your body receives thousands of signals from the food you eat, the nutrients available to your cells, the stress you experience, the quality of your sleep, your exposure to sunlight, movement, toxins and your surrounding environment. When these signals consistently place the body under stress, symptoms can begin to appear. By understanding the underlying drivers of inflammation and supporting the body with the right inputs, you can begin working with your body rather than against it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5a2b2684c05420973b98a1/1588983694826-8DFN4BZJB4KUNS6W5QYN/healthybodynutrition-whatiswholebody.jpg HOME - Children’s Health Children aren't just "small adults."
