In this Friday 5 episode, VJ Hamilton shares five simple, science-backed habits that can transform autoimmune healing — from reducing inflammation to restoring calm, energy, and resilience.

Drawing on both her professional experience as a Registered Nutritionist and her own personal recovery journey, VJ explores how small, consistent changes create profound physiological shifts. You’ll hear why she ditched her microwave for good, how morning sunlight even in the dead of winter can reset your immune rhythm, and why sleep, creativity, and connection are underestimated pillars of autoimmune recovery.

Whether you’re navigating Hashimoto’s, Sjögren’s, eczema, alopecia, or any chronic inflammatory condition, this episode reminds you that healing doesn’t start with perfection — it starts with a handful of habits done with intention.

💡 In this episode:

• Why cooking from scratch helps lower inflammation and improve nutrient absorption
• How morning light supports cortisol balance and immune regulation
• The power of a consistent bedtime for adrenal and thyroid health
• How creativity nourishes your nervous system
• The healing impact of community and connection

When it comes to hair loss recovery, most people focus on food, supplements, and treatments — but one of the most overlooked (and most powerful) tools is mindset. In this week’s Friday 5, I’m sharing how the way you think about your hair healing journey can shift your stress response, reduce fear-based triggers, and help you feel calmer and more in control.

You’ll learn:

• How to break the stress loop when shedding feels overwhelming
• A simple way to reframe mirror triggers into moments of self-support
• Why focusing on what you can influence builds confidence and momentum
• How to practise self-compassion instead of self-blame
• The importance of holding the long view when results aren’t immediate

These five mindset shifts aren’t about “positive thinking” — they’re practical tools to help your body feel safe enough to heal.

Your hair isn’t just about looks — it’s a messenger for your internal health. In this week’s Friday 5, I’m sharing five important clues your hair might be sending you. From nutrients running low, to stress overload, hormone shifts, immune misfires, and even detox congestion, these signs often appear in your hair before you notice them anywhere else.

We’ll talk about why your hair might not grow past a certain length, how to tell the difference between shedding and breakage, and why spotting changes early is key to preventing deeper imbalances.

If you’ve ever wondered what your thinning, brittle, or slow-to-grow strands are really saying, this episode will help you connect the dots.

✨ Plus, don’t miss my free hair-regrowth workshop on Tuesday, 30th September at 8pm UK time — perfect if you’re navigating alopecia or supporting a loved one. I’ll be sharing my inside-out method to calm immune chaos, rebuild nutrient reserves, and restart the hair cycle, gently and systematically. You can sign up here.
