Podcasts I've been enjoying listening to lately...

I’ve always loved podcasts, there’s something so nourishing about instantly feeling inspired, grounded, entertained or understood.

Whether it’s on a walk, driving between appointments, cooking dinner or winding down at night, podcasts have become one of my favourite ways to learn, laugh and feel connected.

〜The Imperfects – for honest conversations and real-life wisdom
〜 Good Hang with Amie Collier – light, fun, and beautifully human
〜 Medium at Large (David the Medium) – for all things intuitive + spiritual
〜 Menopause & Cancer with Dani Binnington – empowering, evidence-informed conversations for women’s health

If you’re looking for something new to tune into this summer, these are well worth adding to your playlist.

What are you listening to at the moment? I’d love to hear your recs 🤍

This is why I do what I do! These results are truly incredible...

I’ve been working with this beautiful client (shared with permission) to support her Hashimoto’s symptoms, gut health, inflammation, nervous system, and relationship with her body.

She didn’t get here through restriction, punishment, or pushing harder…

She got here through consistency, nourishment, emotional safety, and personalised support.

〜 By reducing inflammatory triggers
〜 Repairing her gut microbiome
〜 Supporting her thyroid and nervous system
〜 Creating a healthier environment
〜 Introducing gentle movement
〜 And learning to trust her body again

The shifts have been incredible.
This is what happens when you work with the body, not against it.

If you want to put your thyroid health first in 2026, now is the time, January appointments are already filling fast.

Book your consultation via the link in bio or send a DM if you’d like to chat about whether this approach is right for you 🤍

Date & cashew ice cream bars.

Gluten free. Dairy free. Crap free. And honestly, ridiculously delicious.

If you love ice cream but don’t love all the added junk that comes with store-bought versions (and don’t have a Ninja Creami because… who needs another kitchen gadget 🙋‍♀️), this one’s for you.

You'll need:
300g of raw cashews
200g of pitted fresh Medjool dates
1 cup of light coconut milk
1 cup of water
Pinch of salt
1 tsp of vanilla extract
200g of dark chocolate

Method:
1️⃣ Soak cashews in filtered water for 4+ hours.
2️⃣ Drain and blend with dates, coconut milk, water, salt & vanilla until smooth and creamy.
3️⃣ Line a 20x20cm baking tray with baking paper and spread the mixture evenly.
4️⃣ Freeze overnight (or at least until firm).
5️⃣ Melt half the chocolate and pour over the top. Freeze again for 1 hour.
6️⃣ Flip the slab, melt and pour the remaining chocolate over the other side. Freeze again.
7️⃣ Slice into 16–20 bars and store in an airtight, freezer-safe container.

Tip: Heat your knife when cutting to prevent splitting the chocolate. Or consider slicing the ice cream first and individually sipping in chocolate.

Happy cooking and tag me in your creations 🫶🏼

Have you ever noticed thyroid symptoms flare around perimenopause or menopause? ⁠
⁠
You’re not imagining it, there’s a real connection between hormonal shifts and thyroid autoimmunity.⁠
⁠
As oestrogen and progesterone levels start to decline, the immune system goes through its own restructuring phase.⁠
⁠
〜 Oestrogen normally helps keep inflammation in check and teaches your immune system to recognise what belongs to you.⁠
〜 Progesterone brings calm and stability to your immune response.⁠
⁠
When both start to drop, this balance can shift. The immune system can become more reactive, inflammation rises, and for some women, this triggers or worsens autoimmune diseases like Hashimoto’s or Graves’ disease. ⁠
⁠
Supporting your thyroid through this time means taking a holistic approach:⁠
〜 Reducing inflammation⁠
〜 Balancing blood sugar⁠
〜 Supporting liver detox pathways⁠
〜 Managing stress⁠
〜 Ensuring key nutrients like selenium, zinc, and vitamin D are optimal⁠
Your hormones, immune system and thyroid are all deeply connected, and this is the perfect time to bring them back into balance. ⁠
⁠
Your thyroid deserves support, not stress, to learn more about how I can help you during this transitional phase, comment HEALTH CHAT below to book a free 15 minute health chat.

Have you been told your thyroid antibodies are high, but everything else looks “fine”?⁠
⁠
This is your window of opportunity, not a waiting period.⁠
⁠
Subclinical Hashimoto’s means your immune system has started to attack your thyroid, but your thyroid is still managing to keep up, for now...⁠
⁠
And while it’s easy to be told to “just watch and wait”, this early stage is actually when your thyroid is most responsive to natural support. ⁠
⁠
When antibodies rise, inflammation and nutrient deficiencies (like selenium, zinc, iron + vitamin D) often follow. ⁠
⁠
Stress, gut health issues, and environmental toxins can quietly drive this process too.⁠
⁠
You can take meaningful steps now to reduce inflammation, balance the immune system, and protect your thyroid tissue before damage sets in.⁠
⁠
Early intervention means:⁠
〜 Lower inflammation + antibody load⁠
〜 Balanced immune response⁠
〜 Better energy + mood⁠
〜 Less likelihood of needing medication later⁠
⁠
Don’t wait for your thyroid to struggle, support it before it does. ⁠

Have you decided to cut soy out of your diet due to its risk associated with breast cancer? ⁠
⁠
Here’s what the research really says 👇⁠
⁠
You may have heard that “soy mimics oestrogen” and therefore must be avoided to reduce breast cancer risk or if you have a thyroid condition. ⁠
⁠
But the truth is much more nuanced, and encouraging for women seeking hormone-balanced, nutrient-rich diets.⁠
⁠
Let’s break it down:⁠
⁠
1️⃣ Whole food soy is not linked with higher breast cancer risk, in fact many studies show no increase, and some show reduced recurrence or improved survival.⁠
2️⃣ Soy’s isoflavones act on oestrogen receptors in a different way than human oestrogen, they may modulate rather than simply mimic.⁠
3️⃣ For women on endocrine therapy (hormone suppression), whole food soy may help with symptoms, always under professional guidance.⁠
4️⃣Choose non-GMO, organic, minimally processed soy foods (not high dose supplements or isolates).⁠
5️⃣ Soy isn’t the solution, but it can be part of a smart, balanced, dietary plan, especially when hormone health is a priority.⁠
6️⃣ Adequate iodine intake in your diet can prevent soy from having an anti-thyroid effect.⁠
⁠
Of course, always be mindful if soy is one of your known food allergies or intolerances.⁠

Wondering how to naturally support your thyroid health?⁠
⁠
Your thyroid plays a key role in energy, metabolism and mood, but it also relies on daily habits and nutrients to function optimally.⁠
⁠
If you’ve been told your thyroid is “fine” but you still feel tired, sluggish, or foggy, these gentle, evidence-informed strategies can make a real difference.⁠
⁠
1️⃣ Balance your hormones 〜 your thyroid doesn’t work in isolation. Stress hormones, oestrogen dominance and blood sugar imbalances all play a role.⁠
2️⃣ Ensure adequate magnesium 〜 this mineral supports thyroid hormone production and conversion.⁠
3️⃣ Find your carb balance 〜 both too little and too much can disrupt thyroid function.⁠
4️⃣ Get sunlight exposure 〜 this supports metabolism, mood, and natural circadian rhythm.⁠
5️⃣ Try red light therapy 〜 it may enhance thyroid hormone conversion and reduce inflammation.⁠
6️⃣ Avoid PUFAs (polyunsaturated fats) 〜 they can increase oxidative stress and slow thyroid function.⁠
7️⃣ Support liver detoxification 〜 your liver helps activate thyroid hormones, so keeping it healthy is essential.⁠
⁠
Your thyroid thrives when your whole body is in balance. Nutrition, stress, liver health, and environment all matter.⁠
⁠
Save this post as your go-to checklist for thyroid support and share with someone who may find this useful 💫

Confused about all the thyroid diet advice out there? Let’s simplify it...⁠
⁠
When it comes to supporting your thyroid, there’s no one-size-fits-all approach, but there are some key foundations that make a big difference.⁠
〜 Focus on a wholefood, anti-inflammatory diet.⁠
〜 Keep your blood sugar balanced to avoid energy crashes⁠
〜 Nourish your body with nutrient-dense whole foods.⁠
〜 Limit common inflammatory triggers like gluten, dairy, alcohol and refined sugar.⁠
⁠
These basics create a strong foundation for hormone balance, energy, and overall wellbeing. ⁠
⁠
Of course, everyone’s body is different, your individual food triggers, your gut health, liver function, stress levels, and nutrient status can all affect what your thyroid needs most.⁠
⁠
That’s where personalised support comes in, so we can tailor your nutrition and lifestyle to your unique body.⁠
