With approximately 65 - 70% of the worldwide adult population having a reduced ability to digest lactose after infancy, it is not uncommon that we ask our clients to go without dairy for a period of time. If relevant, this helps us as practitioners to determine if someone is reacting to lactose, and/or may be lactose intolerant.

When lactose is not digested properly, it can be fermented by gut microbiota leading to symptoms that include:

- Abdominal pain

- Bloating

- Excess flatulence

- Diarrhoea

- Constipation

My goodness these months are flying by, I feel like I am writing a monthly line-up every second week! (which is impossible, I realise). This is what I’ve been doing and reading and enjoying thus far this month.

This book. I have been ranting about it a bit over on my instagram, but it’s truly game changing. For myself, those around me, and my clients.

Pate from Rough & Bare. Absolutely delicious, wildly nutrient-dense (organ meats are where it’s at), and fantastic if you’re prone to low iron. Broth Bar & Larder also do fantastic pate.

Looking forward to hosting this event with Brooke Schiller! There are only a couple of tickets left if you’d like to attend.
