Tackling tummy troubles

It’s just over a year since naturopath and colonic hydrotherapist Linda Booth last joined the Girls Around Town in the studio. But she’ll be back this weekend to offer more advice on what to do if your digestive system’s not quite up to scratch right now…

Widely known as the Tummy Queen, Linda’s career in natural medicine began over a quarter of a century ago, in 1992. Since 2005, she’s been running one of the UK’s most successful natural digestive and gut disorders clinics and has carried out over 60,000 consultations and treatments.

Putting her knowledge and experience to good use, she’s created her own range of probiotics and supplements, Just For Tummies, and she’ll be chatting to Rosalyn and June about how optimising your digestion can increase your energy levels and give you more zest for life.

“In my experience, irritable bowel syndome (IBS), bloating, abdominal pain, constipation, diarrhoea, indigestion, heartburn, acid reflux, fatty liver, excess gas, thrush and urinary tract infections (UTIs) can all be alleviated,” says Linda. “It’s simply a matter of knowing and understanding what is causing your symptoms and then adopting a tailored supplementation plan.”

Tune in or listen online between 10am and 12 noon on Sunday to find more about IBS in particular, as Linda explains just what it is, what causes it and – crucially – what cures it!

Eating your way back to health

It’s often said that the kitchen is the heart of the home – and what goes on in the kitchen of next weekend’s guest is most definitely at the heart of her business.

Because it’s there that nutritional therapist Sophia Hill creates the recipes that help to inspire people to change their lives by eating glorious, nourishing REAL food…

Passionate about helping her clients back to health through diet, she’s made it her mission to educate as many people as possible on natural health and she’ll be joining Girls Around Town Rosalyn, June and Rachel on Sunday morning to explain how she’s doing just that.

“The clients I work with have problems ranging from hormonal imbalances and thyroid disorders to autoimmune diseases and digestive troubles such as IBS and IBD,” she says.

“I liken nutritional therapy to cleaning a wound out thoroughly rather than putting a plaster over it and masking the symptoms. And I love delving in to each case to find the root of the problem because, until that is uncovered, I don’t believe that my clients can fully recover.”

Tune in or listen online between 10am and 12 noon to find out how powerful natural health can be in healing and preventing diseases.

And in the meantime, why not check out Sophia’s website, where you’ll find healthy tips and recipes such as the one for the Cauliflower and Collagen Super-Smoothie in the picture above?

Are you ready to let go of pain?

If you’re suffering from pain brought on by stress, anxiety or depression, this week’s guest may have the answer you’re looking for…

Inspired by the positive effects practicing yoga had on her own physical and mental wellbeing, Liz Taylor decided to become a yoga teacher herself. “I realised that if I could help just one person in a similar situation enjoy the same benefits, that would be amazing,” she says.

After completing a Diploma Teaching Course with the British Wheel of Yoga, in 2010 she began working with small groups, gradually building her confidence as a teacher until she left her job in 2012 to start her own business, Liz Taylor Yoga.

Since then, she’s completed several further training courses which have enabled her to expand her teaching abilities and now works with clients both on a one-to-one basis and within a group setting.

Liz will be joining the Girls Around Town on Sunday to talk about her own journey to a pain-free, healthier and happier life. She’ll also be explaining how she’s putting her personal experience and training to good use, often with clients who are suffering in the same way as she once did.

Tune in or listen online between 10am and 12 noon to find out how practicing yoga can help you let go of pain, improve your mental and physical health and get more balance in your life…
