An Overview & Why It Helps

The Health Management Journal is a secure, easy-to-use digital tool designed to support recovery, self-care, and day-to-day organisation. Built in Notion, it brings together the essentials of health tracking, practical resources, and personal reflection - all in one place.

Recovering from illness or managing ongoing health challenges often means juggling a lot - appointments, medications, correspondence, and personal wellbeing. The Health Recovery Journal is designed to take the pressure off:

  • Keep everything important together in one secure space

  • Spot patterns in health and recovery with minimal effort

  • Check the nutritional values of foods with independent data

  • Feel supported and organised without needing complex tools

 The Story Behind The Journal

I was diagnosed, hospitalised and treated for Cirrhosis of the Liver back in 2023. After a while I started to keep a basic diary and started researching the condition, and nutrition more.

My NHS treatment was faultless until discharge, discharge was delayed considerably due to a prescribing error. I did receive relevant emergency contact information, and an  appointment for a further Ascites fluid drain. But crucially, no information on diet changes (apart from abstaining from alcohol) or what to expect as far as possible ongoing symptoms.

I believe post treatment care, depending on your disease is still pretty patchy across the UK, hence this tool which may help you moving forward.

This management hub is a pretty handy tool for keeping organised and you can expand upon the existing knowledge base when you come across useful nuggets of information with the guidance and digital blocks.

Most importantly you can record how your day is, how you are feeling, any goals or achievements, even simple things like a short walk or managing the stairs. Overtime you can reflect with the selection of database views, these views may help you spot patterns, make changes and monitor progress.

As Nutrition is so key to your recovery, I have designed a simple curated database where you can look up many UK food items for their nutritional values, check an item, a meal or a days worth of ingredients. The source data is taken from the UK Governments independent CoFID data.
