Foraging for Gut Health with Rachel Robertson
Description
Who is Rachel Robertson?
Fifteen years ago, my own health struggles, those of my family and reading the book ‘Deschooling Society’ were catalysts in embarking on a self-reliance journey to reclaim power over food, my family’s health and my children’s education.
I trained as a naturopathic nutritionist in 2019 and now specialise in gut health, drawing especially on ancestral nutrition and traditional Western herbalism. I manage a busy practice in Brighton, incorporating colonic hydrotherapy into my gut-healing protocols. I offer programmes in person and remotely and run regular online group gut reset programmes.
I have been leading foraging workshops since 2020, covering areas such as foraging for food and medicine in survival contexts, foraging for gut health and bespoke foraging events. I’m involved as a parent and foraging teacher at HOPE Sussex Freedom Home Education Hub, where I also co-created a thriving vegetable and medicinal herb garden.
I’m passionate about helping people reconnect with traditional skills and empowering them to take back control of their health.
Rachel talks about…
I will be explaining the main pillars of good gut health, how to tell if things aren’t working well and how to nourish and heal your gut, matching herbs you can find outside your front door to what your gut actually needs. This is useful for people with mild to severe digestive problems, skin issues, autoimmune disease and hormonal imbalance. Even if your digestive health is generally good, these principles can help maintain long-term gut health.
- How to recognise when digestion isn’t working properly.
- Which common wild herbs support different aspects of digestion and are suitable for your gut state.
- How to prepare them safely into simple remedies.
