Unlike traditional nutritional guidelines that adopt a universal approach, PN seeks to optimize health outcomes by accounting for inter-individual variability in nutrient metabolism, food sensitivities, and diseases. By integrating these insights with lifestyle factors such as physical activity, sleep quality, and stress levels, personailised nutrition offers a multidimensional framework for enhancing metabolic health, particularly among […]

After periods of dietary indulgence, the body’s natural detoxification systems primarily the liver, kidneys, lymphatic system, and gut—can become overwhelmed. Key challenges include: Toxin accumulation from ultra-processed foods (UPFs), alcohol, and refined sugars. Reduced metabolic efficiency due to impaired liver function and sluggish digestion. Symptoms: Bloating, fatigue, brain fog, and inflammation. Science Insight: UPFs contain emulsifiers, artificial […]

Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) is a subtype of major depressive disorder characterized by recurrent episodes that typically begin in late fall or early winter and remit during spring or summer. While SAD has been extensively studied in Western populations, its prevalence and impact on mental health in Asia are increasingly being recognized. Despite cultural and […]

Herbal Interventions Hibiscus sabdariffa (Hibiscus Tea) Efficacy: Comprehensive review of 26 randomized controlled trials involving 1,797 participants found dose-dependent reductions in both systolic and diastolic blood pressure, with reductions exceeding 10 mmHg in populations over 50 years old in studies lasting more than four weeks Mechanism: Rich polyphenol content enhances nitric oxide production, inhibits calcium […]

Chronic Stress and Immune Suppression: The Cortisol Link Chronic stress triggers sustained HPA axis activation, leading to cortisol dysregulation that directly suppresses: T-cell function: Reduced proliferation and TCR signaling B-cell activity: Diminished antibody production Vaccine efficacy: 30-50% lower antibody titers in stressed elderly Glucocorticoid resistance develops in 60-70% of chronic stress cases, creating paradoxical inflammation […]

Digestive enzymes are nature’s microscopic heroes, breaking down food into nutrients your body can absorb. Whether you’re aiming to boost energy, improve gut health, or enhance muscle recovery, digestive enzymes play a critical role in ensuring your body gets what it needs to thrive. How Digestive Enzymes Work Core Function : Enzymes act as catalysts, […]
