I'm pleased to announce today that, as well as Supplement Woman, Christine, we now have Food Woman, Debbie, on the Purehealth team! I am aware that we need to focus a lot more on food as well as supplements, so I have asked Debbie to help me create some UK-friendly recipe books initially so that …
How’s This For An Exotic Lolly?
Always on the lookout for something cooling in this weather, I sent out my favourite tip the other day. Mix some fruit compote with coconut milk or water.
