Liver support

Ronel. Perth, Australia. 

My family presents with familial hypercholesterolemia as well as high blood pressure.Unfortunately for my sister and I, this is on my mother and father's side of the family. On top of these predisposing factors, I have always had poor liver function.

Noirin has kindly offered to review my blood test results and provide some online sessions via Zoom between Ireland and Australia, which was extremely helpful  during the Covid period.

These sessions have been life changing. After analysing our daily eating schedule, she has made me aware of the types of food that can be replaced with a healthier option. I never realised that there was so much sugar in rice, which is our family's staple food. 

She has introduced new recipes, forwarded lots of reading material explaining healthy eating habits and recipes. Noirin suggested that I challenge myself to buy at least 2 different vegetables and try them out. This has been an interesting and positive experience. 

My husband loves the cauliflower rice and we now eat natural yoghurt, rather than the flavoured yoghurts, loaded with sugar. We have even started to eat sauerkraut which we have never eaten before.

Noirin also focused on the importance of drinking water. I have bought a 1 litre Frank Green water bottle to measure my water intake.  

Noirin has a kind and supportive approach in providing advice. She has surely made a long lasting difference in our family's eating habits. My blood test results have improved and I am very grateful for her advice. 

As a family, we have changed a few simple habits and we have seen positive change.
