So here I am getting my Raw Milk from our local farm.

Here’s what I’ve been thinking lately about raw milk… 🥛💭

Personally, I don’t drink much cow’s milk or dairy and luckily, I’ve never had sensitivities to it. But even if I did, based on what I’ve researched, I feel like raw milk is different because it’s full of natural enzymes, beneficial bacteria, and fat-soluble vitamins that are often reduced through pasteurisation.

So, I guess It’s as close to nature as it gets: fresh, creamy, and straight from the cow without all the extra processing. This one is from gorgeous Jersey cows 🐄 and was milked within 24 hours, so it feels fresh!

Nutritionally, raw milk still has its natural enzymes (which help with digestion), beneficial bacteria, and fat-soluble vitamins like A, D, and K2. A lot of these can get reduced when milk is heated and processed.

But I get it, it’s not for everyone. Some people are sceptical, which I do find interesting because we put so much trust in supermarket milk… even though it’s been through so many steps and processes before it even reaches our fridge. 🤔

I didn’t have a glass bottle with me when I picked it up, so I used one of their plastic ones and decanted it straight into a sanitised glass jar when I got home. I’ll let you know what I think✨

I’m curious, have you ever tried raw milk?

So many clients tell me they feel lost in a cycle of bloating, headaches, skin flare up’s, mood swings, fatigue, or gut issues and often wonder: is it an allergy or an intolerance? 🤔

Here’s a quick breakdown:
⚡️ Food allergies = immune-driven and can be severe (sometimes even life-threatening).
🌿 Intolerances = usually down to digestive enzyme issues or chemicals in food (like histamine).

The symptoms might feel similar, but the difference is important. And when you know which you’re dealing with, it helps you get the right support and stop second-guessing every bite of food. 🙌🏻

This is exactly why I do the work I do, helping women test, track, and truly understand their bodies instead of guessing. Because who has time to do that! 😩

One of the simplest ways I support my hormones, gut and skin health is by choosing organic 🌱

Want to know why? Because organic produce is grown without pesticides and chemicals that can disrupt our hormones, it’s kinder on the gut, and often richer in antioxidants that your skin will love too ✨👌🏻

I also love that eating this way takes the stress out of food shopping. Each week my box arrives, packed with the best seasonal fruit and veg.

Eating seasonally isn’t just better for the planet, it’s also better for our bodies, giving us the nutrients we need in that moment of the year 🌸🍂

If you’ve been wanting to give it a go, you can use my code NICOLE50 to get 50% off your first 4 boxes.

I've been using for years and it’s such a lovely ritual and one of the easiest swaps I’ve made for my health. ✨🤍

Running clinics in the NHS, I see firsthand the very real struggles people are facing with their health. More than ever, the conversation seems to circle around quick fixes, like weight loss injections. 😩 And while they may have their place for some, they’re most definitely not the whole answer.

There is no magic injection or quick fix that will do the deeper work for us. The real, lasting transformation I’ve witnessed, both in my clients and in my own life, comes from shifting habits, supporting our metabolic health, and most importantly, changing the way we think about our health. 🙌🏻

I’ve been there myself. I’ve changed my own health outcomes, and it didn’t come from obsessing over calories or following the “perfect” diet. It came from taking a holistic approach. And it’s definitely not easy, but it’s possible!

Yes, nutrition matters, but so does everything else we absorb, what we read, who we listen to, who we surround ourselves with, the conversations we engage in, and even the energy we allow into our lives. All of it shapes us. All of it feeds us.

Health isn’t just on the plate in front of us, it’s in the way we live, the thoughts we carry, the boundaries we hold, and the peace we protect.

That’s why I’m so passionate about this work. 🤍

Because when someone begins to see health differently, not as punishment or perfection, but as a journey of balance and empowerment, that’s when real transformation happens. ✨

And that’s what makes this work so rewarding ✨🤍

Do you feel like you’ve tried everything, the diets, the cleanses, running each day, the “quick fixes” and yet you still feel puffy, bloated, stuck in a body that doesn’t feel like you? 😫

You’re not alone.

Most women I work with (and me, once upon a time) feel exactly this way.

The truth? It’s not about being stricter or working harder. It’s about learning how to work with your body, not against it.

That’s exactly why I wrote my latest Substack post:
✨The Lazy Girl’s Guide to Balanced Meals real, no-fuss look at how to eat in a way that supports your hormones, gut, and energy without overcomplicating it. EVERYTHING has become so complicated!

Inside, I break down:
👉 Why balance matters more than “clean eating”
👉 The 3 lazy-girl meal formulas that always work
👉 How to stop the “all or nothing” cycle with food
👉 The shortcuts I use myself (and share with my clients) to make healthy eating sustainable.

And if you want to go one step further? 🌿
Inside my Mindful Living Kitchen, I send you a brand-new 7-day meal guide + recipes every month so you never have to stress about planning again. It’s literally done for you.

Because health isn’t about perfection, it’s about small, doable changes that make you feel like you again. 🤍

Spent the morning unwinding at the alternating between the sauna and cold water plunges.

It’s such a great way to feel reinvigorated and rejuvenated! There’s something amazing and healing about outdoor saunas and ice baths.
