Category: Magpie

Sometimes I want to write about something other than health! These posts are an ecletic collection of things that interest me and hopefully you’ll like them too.
Why Magpie? I am like a magpie, picking up shiny snippets of info all the time! I’ll be sharing content, news and comment on whatever grabs me that I think you will find amusing, thought-provoking, useful or just enjoyable. It’s generally lifestyle stuff like interior design, politics, culture, reviews, eco fashion, skincare, tech, gadgets, trends etc – anything not so health-related. Enjoy x

Bear in mind, I am now retired from clinic work after 38 years in natural medicine. I no longer offer the test service (but you can still access some here) and I have removed the books as they need updating etc, sorry. I only ever give you top-notch stuff, as you know! BUT, there is still a ton of help here for you, I promise. Hope you find what you need and will forgive me for broken links as I am no longer updating the site as frequently. Bless your cotton socks, Micki x
