Over 70% of adults in Ireland do not eat the minimum recommended amount of fruits and vegetables, and since habits change slowly this will continue. So something that could bridge the gap are - taking convenient fruits and vegetable supplements.

For the next two weeks I have a special offer on my Holistar Fruits & Vegetable supplements - buy 2 and get 1 free.

Also on my website, if you order over €60 worth of products, I offer free delivery.

🍎 ONLY 28% OF PEOPLE IN IRELAND EAT ENOUGH FRUIT & VEG! 🥦
According to the Healthy Ireland Survey 2024, just 28% of adults in Ireland eat five or more portions of fruit and vegetables a day. That means more than 7 in 10 of us are falling short of the recommended minimum!
So, why does it matter? 🤔
🍊 Vitamins and minerals – fruit and vegetables supply essential nutrients that help our bodies function properly.
🥦 Fibre for gut health – fibre supports healthy digestion and helps keep our digestive systems working as they should.
❤️ Heart health – diets rich in fruit and vegetables are associated with a lower risk of cardiovascular disease.
🛡️ Protective plant compounds – colourful fruit and vegetables contain antioxidants and other beneficial compounds that help protect our cells from damage.
🌱 Long-term wellbeing – eating a wide variety of fruit and vegetables is an important part of a balanced diet that supports good health as we age.
The good news? Small changes can make a difference!
Add a piece of fruit to breakfast, include extra vegetables with dinner, or keep fruit handy for a snack. Aim for at least 5 portions a day, as recommended by the HSE.
And if you struggle to get enough variety in your diet, there may be another option to consider…
🌿 HOLISTAR FRUITS AND VEGGIES!
Our Fruits and Veggies supplement is designed to help you add to your daily nutritional routine when getting enough fruit and vegetables isn't always easy.
It’s not a replacement for eating fresh fruit and vegetables, but it can be a convenient addition to a balanced diet.

CORDYCEPS: THE MUSHROOM THAT MAY HELP YOUR BODY ADAPT TO STRESS
You've probably heard of adaptogens.
But what exactly are they?
Adaptogens are natural substances that are proposed to help the body adapt to physical and environmental stress and maintain physiological balance.
And one fascinating mushroom increasingly being investigated in this area is Cordyceps.
Cordyceps has been used in traditional Asian medicine for centuries, but modern researchers are now investigating what it may actually do.
So what does the research suggest?
🔬 Stress & resilience
Researchers are investigating whether compounds in Cordyceps can influence cellular stress-response pathways and help support the body's ability to maintain balance.
⚡ Energy & exercise
Human studies have investigated Cordyceps for aerobic capacity, oxygen utilisation and exercise endurance. Some have reported improvements, although the results aren't consistent.
💪 Recovery
Research is also looking at its potential effects on inflammation and markers associated with exercise-related muscle damage.
🛡️ Immune regulation
Cordyceps contains compounds such as cordycepin and polysaccharides that have demonstrated interesting immunomodulatory effects in laboratory and early human research.
But here's where I think it's important to be honest.
Cordyceps isn't a miracle cure.
The science is promising, but still developing. Studies have used different species, extracts, doses and formulations, making it difficult to say exactly how much benefit someone should expect.
A 2026 review of human studies found some encouraging results for exercise performance and recovery , but also highlighted the small number of studies and significant differences between them.
That's actually what makes Cordyceps so interesting to me.
Not hype. Not magic. Just a fascinating functional mushroom that scientists are still trying to understand.
🌿 HOLISTAR Cordyceps
Our Cordyceps comes in a convenient bottle containing 200 small tablets, making it easy to add to your daily routine.
If you're interested in functional mushrooms and the science behind them, Cordyceps is definitely one worth exploring.
Food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a varied, balanced diet and healthy lifestyle.

Today is International Coffee Day so I thought I would take a photo of myself with the range of special coffees I have which have extra benefits your regular coffees dont have. If you like coffee and interested in getting more from your coffee, check out this range on my HOLISTAR dot ie website. Also this weekend I will have these coffees on my stand at the Dublin Mind and Body Experience at the RDS.

🥬 You might eat reasonably well… but are you getting enough greens?
We all know we should eat a varied diet with plenty of vegetables.
But realistically, some days are easier than others.
Work gets busy. You're travelling. You grab something quick for lunch. And suddenly that impressive-looking plate of vegetables you had planned never happens!
Chlorella and spirulina are nutrient-rich algae containing protein, minerals and other naturally occurring compounds.
So I've been looking at them as a simple way of adding some extra nutrients to your daily routine.
And the good thing about tablets?
No washing, chopping or cooking another vegetable. 😄
Of course, they aren't a replacement for vegetables or a balanced diet. Think of them as a convenient nutritional top-up.
Our Holistar Chlorella & Spirulina comes in small tablets that are easy to add to your daily routine.
Would you consider adding chlorella and spirulina to your diet?

Three nutritional gaps many of us could do with addressing this autumn 🍂
As we head into autumn and winter, there are three areas of nutrition worth thinking about:

1️⃣ Omega-3
EPA and DHA are important omega-3 fatty acids that our bodies need, but getting enough can be more difficult if you don't regularly eat oily fish or other sources of omega-3.

2️⃣ Vitamin D
This one becomes particularly relevant in Ireland. From October to early March, the sunlight isn't strong enough for our skin to make vitamin D. The HSE says many adults have low vitamin D levels, especially during winter.

3️⃣ Vegetables 🥦
The Irish guidelines recommend 5–7 portions of fruit, vegetables and salad every day.
But here's the reality: the latest Healthy Ireland Survey found that just 28% of people are eating five or more portions a day.
That's a lot of people missing out.

So I've put together three simple nutritional supports:

🌱 Holistar Vegan Omega 3 – plant-based EPA & DHA from algae.

☀️ Holistar D3 + K2 – vitamin D3 combined with vitamin K2, particularly useful to consider during the darker months.

🥦 Holistar Veggies – a convenient way of adding a concentrated vegetable supplement to your daily routine when getting enough vegetables from food isn't always easy.

Of course, supplements aren't a replacement for a good diet. Think of them as nutritional backup – helping to fill some of the gaps when your diet doesn't quite get you where you want to be.

Three simple additions.
Three potential nutritional gaps.
One healthier daily routine.

You can find all three at Holistar.ie.

Have you heard of Black Seed (Nigella sativa)?
For centuries, Black Seed, also known as Nigella sativa or black cumin, has been treasured in traditional medicine. Modern science is now catching up, and the results are impressive.
Key researched benefits include:
Antioxidant & anti-inflammatory support - Helps combat oxidative stress and calm chronic inflammation (key drivers of many modern health issues).
Cardiometabolic health - Recent meta-analyses (including a 2026 GRADE-assessed review of 31 trials) show modest improvements in blood pressure, fasting blood sugar, HbA1c, body weight, and BMI.
Stress resilience & better sleep - A 2026 clinical study on a standardized black seed extract found a 23% reduction in cortisol, higher DHEA, and a 31% improvement in sleep quality scores.
Immune modulation - Multiple trials support its ability to help balance immune responses and reduce inflammatory markers like CRP and TNF-α.
Skin health — Emerging research points to antimicrobial and soothing effects for certain skin concerns.
The star bioactive compound is thymoquinone, which drives many of these effects.
Introducing Holistar BLACKSEED - our pure Nigella sativa tincture.
We’ve carefully extracted the goodness of black seed into a convenient, bioavailable liquid form so you can easily incorporate this ancient remedy into your daily routine.
Whether you’re focused on metabolic balance, stress support, or overall vitality, BLACKSEED makes it simple to harness the benefits of this remarkable seed.
Note: While the research is promising, Black Seed is a complementary wellness tool, not a replacement for medical care. Always consult your healthcare provider before starting any new supplement, especially if you have a medical condition or take medications.

It is apt that many of the ingredients in the supplements and coffees I have, are popular in Japan, especially the functional mushroom - Reishi.

Yesterday someone ordered 25 boxes of my SLIM COFFEE. She does not own a retail store but she found benefits from the coffee and is now promoting and selling it to her friends and others and earning an extra income from it.
If you know someone who would like to benefit from healthier beverages and supplements and might want to earn an extra income having coffees and chats, then I may be able to help.

Be the first to For many women, menopause can be a time of change - affecting sleep, mood, stress levels and the way they feel in their own body. Finding a balance is important and that's why we created Holistar -Balance for Women.
Our alcohol-free tincture combines four carefully selected botanical ingredients:

🌿 Vitex – traditionally used in women's herbal preparations and studied for menopausal symptoms.

🌿 Angelica Root – a traditional botanical used in herbal preparations for women's health.

🌿 Milk Thistle – interestingly, human research has investigated its potential to help with menopausal hot flushes.

🌿 Ashwagandha – an adaptogenic herb traditionally used to help the body adapt to everyday stress and challenges.

We don't believe menopause needs a “magic cure”.
But sometimes the body could use a little extra support while it adjusts to a new stage of life.

Balance for Women
Botanical support for women through life's changes.
