Beyond Blood Tests: Your Health Matters Have you

Beyond Blood Tests: Your Health Matters

Have you ever been told your blood tests are “normal”, yet you're still experiencing fatigue, brain fog, poor sleep or unexplained weight changes?

Your blood results tell part of your health story, but they don't always reveal the bigger picture.

At Well Naturopathy, I take a personalised approach, looking at how your body's systems work together and using pathology to help investigate:

Nutritional deficiencies: Iron, vitamins, minerals and essential cofactors.

Thyroid health: Nutrients involved in hormone production and metabolism.

Metabolic health: Blood glucose, insulin regulation and cholesterol.

Liver and kidney function: Understanding important markers of organ health.

Inflammation: Identifying potential contributors to inflammation.

Nervous system health: Nutrients essential for energy, brain and nerve function.

So, how can naturopathy help?

I look beyond individual results, bringing together your pathology, symptoms, nutrition, lifestyle and health history to create a wellness plan tailored to you.

This may include dietary recommendations, targeted nutritional support, appropriate supplements and lifestyle strategies to support your long-term health.

Because it's not just about improving numbers on a blood test. It's about understanding your body and supporting your overall wellbeing.

Read my three-part Pathology & Wellness Blog Series to discover how naturopathic care can help you take a more informed approach to your health.

Infrared Sauna & Cardiovascular Health Did you kn

Infrared Sauna & Cardiovascular Health

Did you know that regular sauna bathing has been associated with cardiovascular benefits as well as relaxation and recovery?

When we are exposed to sauna heat, heart rate and skin blood flow increase, creating cardiovascular responses that share some features with low-to-moderate intensity exercise. Research also suggests regular sauna bathing may support healthy blood pressure, vascular function and arterial flexibility.

🔥 An interesting statistic: In a long-term Finnish study of 2,315 middle-aged men followed for a median of 20.7 years, those using a sauna 4–7 times per week had a 63% lower adjusted risk of sudden cardiac death compared with those using it once per week. Longer sessions of more than 19 minutes were also associated with a 52% lower risk compared with sessions under 11 minutes.

It’s important to put these numbers in context: this was an observational study of Finnish sauna bathing, not specifically infrared sauna, so it demonstrates an association rather than proving sauna caused the reduction in cardiovascular risk. Research specifically examining infrared sauna is promising but remains much more limited.

Beyond cardiovascular health, sauna can be a beautiful addition to a wellness routine for deep relaxation, muscle tension and stiffness, post-exercise recovery, stress and mental fatigue.

🌿 And there’s an added bonus: book a Naturopathic Appointment with me at ATUNE Health Centre and receive a FREE infrared sauna session with Troy from Strength Mobility Recovery (SMR).

Infrared Sauna: Relax • Recover • Reset I recentl

Infrared Sauna: Relax • Recover • Reset

I recently had the opportunity to experience the infrared sauna with Troy from Strength Mobility Recovery (SMR), located inside ATUNE Health Centre in Cardiff.

Troy has a strong background in strength, conditioning and recovery, and SMR offers infrared sauna alongside a range of recovery modalities.

Infrared sauna uses radiant heat to warm the body and create a controlled heat response. While research is still developing, heat and infrared sauna therapy may have a role in supporting relaxation, circulation, recovery and muscle comfort.

Some reasons you might incorporate infrared sauna into your wellness or recovery routine include:
🔥 Muscle tension & stiffness — warmth may help tired, tight muscles feel more relaxed.

🧘‍♀️ Stress & mental fatigue — taking time away from everyday stimulation in a warm, quiet environment can be a wonderful way to slow down and reset.

💪 Exercise recovery — infrared sauna is commonly used as part of post-training recovery routines.

😴 Sleep & relaxation — the wind-down effect of passive heat may complement healthy sleep habits.

💦 Sweating — sauna naturally increases sweating as part of the body's normal temperature-regulation process.

One important distinction: although sauna is often promoted for "detoxification," our liver, kidneys, gastrointestinal tract and lungs are our primary detoxification systems.

Sweating is a normal physiological response to heat, but sauna shouldn't be presented as a replacement for these processes.

Thank you Troy and the team at SMR for the experience and for providing another way we can support strength, mobility, recovery and overall wellbeing at ATUNE. 🌿

📍 SMR is located at 52 Ada Street, Cardiff, inside ATUNE Health Centre.

🐾 Happy International Dog Day! Did you know that

🐾 Happy International Dog Day!

Did you know that spending time with your dog may support the release of oxytocin — often called the “bonding hormone”?

Research suggests that positive interactions with dogs, including gentle touch, cuddling, stroking and mutual eye contact, may influence oxytocin pathways involved in connection, bonding and the stress response.
And the benefits of our four-legged companions may go even further — encouraging us to get outside, walk more, slow down, connect and take a break from our busy lives.

Our latest blog explores the fascinating science behind the human–dog bond, oxytocin and wellbeing.

Happy International Dog Day to all the dogs who bring a little more connection and joy into our lives.

Any suggestions are general in nature, and an individualised approach is essential. It’s crucial to work with a qualified naturopath who can assess your specific condition, provide personalised recommendations, and coordinate care with other healthcare professionals involved in your treatment. Naturopathic approaches can complement conventional medical treatments, but they should not be used as a substitute for medical advice or prescribed medications.
