It’s half term and I’ll be honest… I’m avoiding the supermarket this week with the kids 😅

Too many brightly coloured bottles and cans filled with fizzy, sugar-laden drinks, additives, and extra sweeteners — all designed to tempt them. And constantly saying no, negotiating, or trying to distract them? ........Exhausting.

Mine are pretty good these days because we’ve talked about what’s actually in these drinks and how they potentially affect energy, gut health and mood - but they are hard to escape.

No judgement here… the mum guilt is heavy enough already 💛

So when they’re thirsty and water just won’t cut it, here’s one simple swap 👇

🥤 Instead of ultra-processed squashes that glow in the dark, last forever, and contain additives and sweeteners that may impact the gut microbiome…
➡️ Try Rocks squash. Yes, it contains sugar - but that’s it. Fruit + sugar + water.

It’s not about perfection. It’s about better choices, most of the time.

👉 See the slides above for more family-friendly drink swap ideas.

Happy Valentine’s Day! ❤️

Whether you are spending it with your partner, children, friends, fur baby or plants 🪴 - may your heart be full.

Have a great weekend!

Not all illnesses are visible.

So many people carry on quietly - smiling on the outside - whilst living with daily symptoms like joint pain, headaches, fatigue, and low energy.

I know what that’s like.

And I understand the impact it can have on your work, your family, and your day-to-day life.

There are days when the symptoms feel so relentless you just want to switch off from the world. Wrap yourself in a duvet. Escape. Remember what it felt like to be healthy and symptom-free.

And when that’s not possible?

It can feel like an endurance marathon - simply trying to get to the end of the day whilst keeping everything (and everyone) else on track.

That is exactly why I do what I do.

I’ve experienced how powerful it can be to start looking at the root causes of symptoms. How nutrition and lifestyle changes - however overwhelming they may feel at first - can truly support health when they’re personalised, realistic and evidence-based.

There is nothing better than seeing a client begin to understand their triggers, learn how their unique body works, and regain confidence in making informed decisions about their health.

No longer fearing flare-ups.
Feeling back in control.
Living - and actually enjoying - life again.

And that deserves to be celebrated 💛

If you’re living with ongoing symptoms or a diagnosis and feeling overwhelmed or unsure where to start, you’re not alone.

Mornings can feel like a full 5k 🏃‍♀️

Even when I think I’m organised - kids up, dressed, fed, snacks packed - it’s still a rush out the door.

That’s when it’s so easy to grab the cereal box or toast…
But by 10am? You’re starving, low on energy, and suddenly that sugar fix you promised to avoid all January is calling 😅

The truth is, many popular cereals (and even some mueslis & granolas) are packed with sugars, syrups, overly processed oils, and additives - which may spike blood sugar and leave you feeling hungry soon after.

⭐️ Simple food swap:
Choose a cereal with real ingredients, fewer additives, plenty of fibre and complex carbs to support your gut and energy levels.

Pair it with:
🥣 Thick, strained Greek yoghurt for protein
🍓 Fresh or frozen fruit
🥜 Healthy fats

A balanced breakfast that includes protein, fibre, complex carbohydrates, and healthy fats - designed to fuel your morning and keep you going until lunch.

And the kids love it too!🙌🙌

Small swaps. Big difference. 💛

“It was only 8 weeks, but the impact was really meaningful.”

Client feedback is very important to me as I always want to provide the best service I can. It's more than just my job; this is my passion.

Feeling listened to, supported and understood can change everything.

And it's comments like this from clients that make my heart smile and drive me 🧡

It's February! How are you going with those NY changes that you started?

Have you been managing to drink more water, avoid alcohol, eat more protein and fibre, go to the gym, add weight training to your routine, call your Mum more often AND feed the kids non-UPF home-cooked meals everyday..... 🤯 it's a lot.

And we are only a few weeks into the year 😬

🧐A recent research paper looking at 20 studies relating to changing health habits (e.g. drink more water, exercise more, take supplements etc) noted that it may take 2mths to embed a habit, with some people taking up to 5mths.

Plus habits that took place in the morning or that were chosen by the individual rather than suggested or imposed by others were more likely to be successful.
....there goes my dream for the kids making their beds every morning then 🙈

So if you don't feel that you have mastered your new year resolution changes just yet - you are not alone!

Check out my top tips to making sustainable changes - remove barriers, stack, repeat and enjoy!

And remember to be kind to yourself.

As a Nutritional Therapist I am always getting asked about supplements, especially from friends and family 😜. I’m passionate about what I do so it’s an excuse to talk about it …..and I secretly love it.

So over the winter months it’s interesting that the most frequent question has been whether or not to take vitamin D.

👉🏻Short answer: for most people in the U.K., YES - especially in the winter.

☀️The best way to make vitamin D is via direct sunlight on the skin. In U.K. estimates that 80-90% of our vitD comes from Sunlight. But during winter sun’s rays are weaker and we are covered up from head to toe (I know I definitely am🥶).

🐟It can be found in food like oily fish and eggs but research suggests it’s difficult to get enough solely from food sources.

Vitamin D is a vital nutrient - involved with 🦴bone health
😷immune regulation
🏃‍♀️energy
🧠mental health

🏥NHS recommends adults and children over 4yrs take 10mcg (~400IU) vitamin D (as D3/cholecalciferol) daily during winter.

👉🏻Some individuals may need it all year round or a higher dose due to, for example, reduced exposure to sunlight in the summer, health conditions or genetic variations which impact ability to create, transport or initiate vitD messaging in their body ( see latest blog post - link in bio).

Are higher doses safe?
As it’s fat soluble it can build up in the body so high levels may be harmful (upper safe limit is 4000IU). Therefore it’s important to seek advice from a medical professional or Registered Nutritional Therapist before increasing your dose above guidance levels.

Plus always advise your GP or pharmacist of any supplements you are taking so that they can check for any drug / nutrient interactions with medication (even those over the counter).

🤨Do you take vitamin D? Do you check your blood levels regularly?

I love this illustration by lucyclaireillustration - many of us keep on going, juggling the balls and spinning the plates - at home, work, the gym, ….life - putting our own needs at the bottom of the list and ignoring the signs.

Listening to our bodies and resting when needed is not a sign of weakness. It’s a necessity, especially if you are experiencing symptoms and/or living with a health condition. The symptoms may even be your body’s way of telling you that you need to slow down and rest.

It’s not always easy to do but you need to ensure that your own oxygen mask is on and working before you are able to help others.

It’s ok to sit and watch a movie with the children on a Sunday afternoon and have a little nap 😜 no guilt allowed!

Happy Sunday!

So very hard, but really so incredibly important.
I hope this weekend you allow yourself a moment just for you.

By understanding our genes, we can begin to see why certain symptoms may show up - and why what works well for one person may not work for another.

Nutrigenomics is one of the areas that truly changed the way I practise. By exploring an individual’s genetic blueprint, I’m able to deepen my understanding of how their body works and tailor nutritional recommendations that may help support gene function and overall health.

Learning about my own genetics has been incredibly valuable in supporting my health through rheumatoid arthritis and the menopause transition. It’s also something I now use in clinic to help clients gain greater clarity, confidence, and motivation to support meaningful, sustainable change.

If you’re curious about how personalised nutrition could support your body, you’re very welcome to book a free, no-obligation chat via the link in my bio.
