Healthy Mays I was once a very different person to who I am today. The joy I was looking for was already inside me, I just had to find it. With love,

Gut health nutritionist, naturopath with a functional medecine approach working 1-1 with clients to transform their health

Transformational magical retreat leader & yoga, breathwork, meditation teacher & reiki master/quantum energy healer It was 2011 and I had built a successful career in advertising, whilst, numbing myself to the stresses of life with a typical London hedonistic lifestyle. I wa

s unaware that what I was really seeking was what yogis call ‘samadhi’ - a state of eternal bliss deep inside us all. I was always into yoga but never committed to a daily regular practise. One day, however, I was lying in savasna, at the end of a gruelling bikram class, when I heard a voice inside my head. It told me that yoga was my entry point to the joy I had been seeking, and I needed to go to India to deepen my learnings. I immediately enrolled in a beginners ashtanga course at Gingi Li’s Ashtanga Shala, in Clapham North, learning the fundamentals from the first of

many inspiring teachers. I woke up at 6am everyday to practise mysore style ashtanga and six months later, I quit my advertising job and flew to Goa, India to take part in a month long Ashtanga Yoga teacher training course. In India I was reborn through the healing powers of yoga. I graduated from my class, and was immediately offered a job teaching yoga in Goa. The universe was giving me clear signs! Over the next five years I spent my summers in London and winters in India and Thailand - gaining my 500 hour advanced TTC in ashtanga as well as my Reiki Master whilst teaching & learning esoteric practises in the east. My life changed when I listened to that little voice in my head, which I now see as my higher power guiding me and I realised that you can find the peace you are seeking internally through meditation and spiritual practises, a very valuable and transformational lesson. I learnt the meaning of self-care and self-love and slowly yet steadily I grew, physically, emotionally, spiritually into the person I am today. I was always an avid cook but through my winters in Asia, my interests grew massively in health and nutrition dabbling in veganism and raw veganism for many years. A huge part of my healing journey was related to food and diet, removing gluten, diary, processed foods & meat to heal severe digestive issues including IBS as well as skin issues like urticaria & attending many fasting/detox retreats. This avid interest in the healing powers of nature led me to 3 years of diploma study at College of Naturopathic Nutrition (CNM) graduating as a Naturopathic Nutritionist. The nutrition course also made me investigate my own nutrition, realising after 6 years of veganism that this diet was not working for me. I found that I was deficient in many micronutrients, along with thyroid and adrenal issues exacerbated by large amounts of stress caused by my career in advertising. Using functional medecine testing including nutrigenetics finally helped me to realise that veganism did not serve me and led me to the genuine realisation that there is no one diet that works for everyone, we are all unique individuals with different nutritional needs based on our ancestry, environment and experiences. My experiences and experimentations with different dietary models means that I can help both vegans and non-vegans alike make their way to optimum health and nutrition. I also work with clients to find and maintain optimal weight, healing their relationships with food and helping clients to see that weight loss does not need to include fad restrictive diets but more of a lifestyle change towards healthier eating & living. And having had a history of childhood disordered eating which I used many tools to heal, I recently completed the National Centre for Eating Disorder training to further assist my weight loss clients with healthier relationships to food. As well as that having experienced and healed my gut issues, gut health is another specialism of mine working to heal IBS, reflux, IBD and many complex gut issues. As well as female hormonal balancing in terms of perimenopause and menopause and thyroid issues amongst other complex cases. I passionately believe in the healing power of nature and now work with an integrative approach to nutrition and healthcare, incorporating the whole person and providing an overall holistic wellness offering. I believe that you must heal the mind alongside diet & lifestyle changes, you cannot fix one without the other. Through my experiences and studies I can help individuals heal holistically through one to one nutrition consultations, guided meditations, yoga lessons, pranayama or reiki healing. There's nothing I love more than sharing my knowledge and positive energy to help my clients achieve their goals and heal.

People don’t like to talk about this… but your p**p tells you everything about your health.

If you’re going in small, hard pellets — that’s not “normal.”
That’s constipation which means your body isn’t properly eliminating waste and toxins.

Your p**p should be long, smooth, and easy to pass like a snake! No straining, no effort. if not this means that your gut needs support.

If you’re not going at least 1–2 times a day, your body can’t clear what the toxins it needs to… and that starts to impact your energy, your skin, and your hormones.

Most people don’t realise this:

➡️ Excess oestrogen is removed through your bowels.

So if you’re not going properly, it can build up — leading to things like bloating, PMS, heavy periods, and excess oestrogen hormonal imbalance conditions like endometriosis and fibroids.

This is why “just eat healthy” isn’t enough. Your body actually needs to be able to process and eliminate properly. If your gut isn’t working the way it should, everything else gets backed up - literally!

If you know your digestion isn’t where it should be and you want support getting things back on track, message me "GUT" — I’d love to help you sort it properly and my 90 Day RESET 1-1 programme focuses specifically on exactly that x

Have you slept in a house with mould in it? 🫣

Black or even grey green discolouration on the walls? 😵‍💫 Did you realise how toxic it can be? 👇read below to see what damage it can cause.

🍁Seasonal Allergies and Asthma:

Mould spores in the air can exacerbate respiratory symptoms, leading to misdiagnosis as seasonal allergies or asthma or sinus infections as it thrives in damp environtments.

😴Chronic Fatigue Syndrome : can lead to fatigue, brain fog, and general malaise

🦵Fibromyalgia: can cause widespread pain and muscle aches

🧠Headaches: triggers headaches and migraines

🔥Gallbladder Problems: Inflammatory responses to mould toxins can damage gallbladder

😳Eczema: Skin reactions and allergic responses to mould

⚖️Hormonal Issues: can disrupt the endocrine system, leading to hormonal imbalances and even anger/rage/moodiness

Gut symptoms - bloating, food sensitivities, leading to infections like SIBO or candida and leaky gut.

👉If you have suspected mould in your house, dont ignore it, it WILL be affecting your health.

And get tested so you can start treating it - I love the mould test, dm and I can organise for you and help you heal x

When someone hears about how I work — comprehensive testing, personalised protocols, nervous system support, and truly holistic care — there's often a moment of hesitation.

People tend to say one of three things:
👉 "I need to think about it."
👉 "Maybe after things settle down."
👉 "It's too expensive."

I have so much compassion for where they're at. But after working with thousands of people navigating chronic illness, I've come to understand what's really sitting underneath those words.
Most of the time, it's this quiet thought: What if I do this… and it still doesn't work?

Because when you've been dealing with mystery symptoms for months or years, you've already tried so many things — changed your diet, followed protocols, invested in supplements — only to end up back where you started. It makes complete sense that you'd lose trust in the process.

But here's what changes when you work with me: I don't guess — I test. I use functional testing to uncover exactly what's driving your symptoms, then build a protocol around what your body actually needs. Not a generic plan — something grounded in real data.

Ask yourself:
➡️ Were you ever tested at this level?
➡️ Did anyone use that data to design something truly personalised for you?
➡️ Were you supported in a way that looked at your body as a whole — not just isolated symptoms?

For most people who come to me, the answer is no. That's why they've stayed stuck.
Until the end of the month, every client who joins my 1-1 programme gets my 10 day online detox FREE — a healing cleanse that fast tracks recovery.

DM me "HEAL" to book a call.
Don't let fear make the decision for you. You can choose hope. You can choose health. You can choose YOU.

has reportedly eaten fish and steamed vegetables every day for 25 years…

Most people hear that and think:
“disciplined”, “clean”, “healthy”

But this is exactly where I see problems start. Because your gut doesn’t thrive on perfection. It thrives on diversity.

When you eat the same foods on repeat:
👉 You feed the same bacteria
👉 You reduce microbial diversity
👉 and over time… your gut becomes less resilient

This is why so many “healthy” people still deal with:
🤢 bloating
😩 fatigue
🤒 poor digestion

They’re not doing the wrong things… they’re just doing the same things for too long

The problem isnt consistency, its lack of variation.

If your diet hasn’t changed in years…your gut health probably hasn’t either.
Comment “GUT” if you want me to break down how to actually build diversity properly, my 90 Day reset 1-1 programme does exactly that, i’d love to show you how x

Move after every meal. Your future self is cheering you along!

And, it’s an easy habit to adopt!

Everyone talks about gut health… But almost no one is talking about this important bacteria👇

Akkermansia.

This specific gut bacteria is strongly linked to:
👉 Better metabolism/Fat Loss
👉 Blood sugar control
👉 Reduced inflammation
👉 Improved gut outcomes for things like SIBO

But here’s the part most people miss…

You don’t “take” it. You create the environment for it to grow. But sadly most people are doing the opposite.

If you want to support it naturally:
✅ Eat more polyphenol-rich foods (berries, olive oil, green tea)
✅ Include the right fibres (onions, garlic, oats, cooled carbs)
✅ Stop constantly snacking (give your gut a break)
✅ Reduce ultra-processed foods
✅ Support your gut lining (omega-3s, whole foods)

Because your metabolism isn’t just about calories…It’s about your gut and you need to know what to do that actually WORKS.

If you want help optimising this properly, DM me “GUT” and I’ll help guide you x

Now, I’ve told you before to stay away from sugar and processed bars because they can wreck your blood sugar and fry your adrenals. I’m putting them in the "once a month" category here because life happens. These are meant to be occasional treats, not a regular part of your diet. If they become a daily crutch, you’re just masking a deeper issue. And if you’re on a deep healing protocol they need to be eliminated until you heal - this is for someone who’s healthy not sick!

☠️ But, if you're doing everything "right" and still feel exhausted, there is usually a hidden drain on your system.

👉🏻 In terms of weekly meat/fish - you can eat them on different days etc and have them a few times a week each just to add to the visuals a little explanation :)

what do you think of my choices?

The UK Government has banned fried foods and sugar in schools!

Finally a step in the right direction for our kids health, given that 1 in 3 kids leave school overweight or obese and no government changes have been made in the last 10 years! Its about time dont you think? As a graduate & nutritional therapist, I think this is great news to celebrate this week.

Here’s what’s changing 👇
🥣 New breakfast standards

�Clear rules on what can be served before school, with limits on sugary cereals and a move away from pastries and processed options

🌾 More fibre-focused meals

�Wholegrains, pulses and vegetables taking centre stage (including veg with every main meal + more fruit-based desserts)

🚫 Less sugar

�Desserts limited and stricter rules on drinks, with a shift towards water, milk and unsweetened options

🍟 Tighter limits on ultra-processed foods

�Less deep-fried food, processed meats and heavily refined snacks

This is a really welcome shift, especially the focus on fibre, whole foods and reducing free sugars.

But as always, this is a first step and what happens outside of school is key - ultra processed foods should be banned completely in my opinion so that kids dont even get access to them.

You're not burnt out, you're just tired, right?

You're still showing up at work, still performing your job, still getting results. But something's off, you dont feel quite right, you think youre just a bit tired, but it seems to get worse everyday. And if you really tuned in, deep down you would realise that this isnt how you should be feeling in life...

This is what burnout actually looks like for high performers. Not always a collapse but a slow fade in energy. Continuously running on 60–70% capacity and calling it normal.

My full article on linked in breaks down:
✅ Why discipline won't fix this
✅ What's actually happening in your body
✅ And what real recovery looks like

Sorry for killing the hype around air fryers 👀

You could say that its a bit “healthier” than deep frying but who still regularly deep fries their food anyway?

3 reasons why air fryers can be toxic:
‌1️⃣ Process of air frying results in the formation of acrylamides and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) which are linked to causing cancer
2️⃣ Air fryers coated with non stick materials eg teflon which contain PFOA’s & PFA’s - linked to cancer
3️⃣ Cooking at high temps removes essential vitamins and minerals we need to keep healthy

If you already own an air fryer and you are otherwise healthy, using it once in a while is probably ok but if you have health issues especially cancer or any inflammatory conditions/hormone imbalances, I recommend steaming, slow cooking and consuming more raw salads full of antioxidants and life instead of air frying.

✅ Other alternatives are glass air fryers (although I have heard they crack easily) and stainless steel ones or non teflon coated ones.

Just make sure you don’t continuously cook your food at super high temperatures & instead add in lots of organic raw & lightly steamed veggies.

Alfonso came to see me struggling hugely, he had many symptoms of MCAS, with shortness of breath so bad it would wake him up in the middle of the night gasping for air, plus vertigo which meant he couldnt do what he loved which is exercise - it was hugely affecting all areas of his life.

We delved into functional testing with a supplement and diet and lifestyle protocol to support - we actually found that most of the test results were negative and the key focus he needed to work on was balancing his nervous system to allow his body to feel safe and within a few months he had hugely improved, started to exercise and got his life back.

👉 This shows that to heal the body you must heal the mind and this is what i do best with my clients combining the science with the holistic care.

❤️ Thank you alfonso for putting your trust in me! Here’s what he had to say:

“I have worked with Maya for three months, and my situation was really bad. I suffered from heartburn, burning sensations, dyspnea, fatigue, instability, and vertigo. She thoroughly reviewed all the data I had and suggested what I should test next to figure out what was going on with my body. She was so helpful—not only suggesting what I should eat but, more importantly, she suggested how to live properly through meditation, daily steps, being grateful, and breathing exercises.
When you work with Maya, you will change the way you live and you will feel better and more grateful. Highly recommended!” Alfonso, Switzerland

Mays totally lives and breaths the Healthy Mays lifestyle and has done for the last 8 years living holistically in tune with nature and the elements with a daily meditation and yoga practise. She believes that physical nutrition is totally linked to the mind & soul - they are intertwined and to be in the optimum health you have to look after all 3, mind, body and soul. For Mays that goes from having a daily meditation, breathwork and yoga practise to being predominantly plant based and avoiding eating animals both energetically and to help save our planet. This stands Mays apart from your average nutritionist as she really encorporates an entire holistic offering alongside a functional medicine background helping her clients thrive instead of survive in order to be the best version of themselves in every single way.
