Are you metabolically flexible? We’re designed to use both glucose and fat for fuel, but most of us stay stuck in “sugar-burning mode” thanks to modern diets.

Switching into ketosis, even occasionally, is like giving your body a reset and letting your cells do some much-needed maintenance.

If you’ve never tried ketosis before or currently eat lots of carbs, easing into lower carb choices first helps stabilise blood sugar and makes the transition smoother.

Why make the switch? The benefits of regular ketosis go beyond weight loss - they include:

💪Better insulin sensitivity

💃🏻Increased fat burning

🧠Steadier energy & sharper mental focus

🥦Reduced cravings & appetite control

👌Anti-inflammatory effects

🤩Healthy aging and cellular renewal (autophagy)

Curious about what metabolic flexibility could do for your health? As a nutritionist, I offer personalised guidance to help you safely explore keto, optimise your diet, and reach your wellness goals.

This is a meal to support hormones. 💃🏻

👉Pan fried steak, courgettes cooked in garlic, onions chopped lemon & walnuts, served with rocket, broccoli, radishes, mustard, dill, rock salt, black pepper and extra virgin olive oil.

🧐Why this meal is so good for hormone balance:

- Broccoli, radish, mustard and rocket are sulforaphane-rich to support healthy oestrogen clearance.🥦

- Onions and garlic are sulphur-rich for liver support - crucial for hormone balance.🧄

- Lemons and rocket are bitter - supporting liver function as well as increasing digestive juices for effective absorption of nutrients. 🍋

- Fibre-rich veggies - support blood sugar balance, insulin sensitivity and healthy digestion.🧘🏻‍♀️

- Grass fed steak is a decent protein hit needed for hormone production, blood sugar balance and freedom from sugar cravings.🤩

- Walnuts - omega 3 fats - hormones love this type of fat and it’s anti-inflammatory.💪

- Plant diversity for microbiome health. Without probiotics your oestrogen backs up.🌱

- This plate is low carb but high in nutrients and healthy fats keeping your biochemistry balanced, insulin low and energy high, allowing your body to make hormones effectively.✔️

Eating to your support hormones is easy when you know how. ❌Grains, seed oils, vegan fake foods, processed fats, starchy carbs and sugar cause hormonal havoc, cravings, insulin surges and biochemical carnage, whereas a plate built from protein, healthy fats and cruciferous veg does the opposite.👏

💃🏻Get in touch if you need to give your hormones some loving support. 💕I’d be delighted to hear from you. 😘

It’s a time to slow down, reflect deeply, and align with your personal truth. It’s an opportunity to cultivate resilience, plan mindfully, and nurture long-term growth in all areas of life.
