Are you tired of craving sugar?

Are You Hooked on Sugar? 🍫

Do you ever feel like you’re on an energy roller coaster — buzzing one minute, crashing the next? That could be your blood sugar doing a little dance 🎢

Too much sugar can mess with your energy, mood, and cravings… and over time, it can lead to fatigue, brain fog, and even bigger health issues.

A few signs your blood sugar might be out of balance:
👉🏻 You’re tired all the time
👉🏻 Headaches or migraines that come out of nowhere
👉🏻 Waking up during the night / can’t stay asleep
👉🏻 Afternoon energy crashes
👉🏻 Brain fog
👉🏻 Cravings that lead to bingeing
👉🏻 Gout, PCOS, or fatty liver

But here’s the good news — sugar doesn’t have to control you 🙌

With a few small, realistic changes, you can:
✨ Balance your blood sugar
✨ Beat those cravings
✨ Boost your energy
✨ Support weight loss
✨ Lower your risk of chronic illness

It’s time to ditch the sugar highs and lows and start feeling steady, vibrant, and in control.

If you’ve tried to quit sugar before (and it didn’t stick 😩), you’re not alone — and you don’t have to do it alone either.

💬 Message me today and let’s tackle those cravings together.

Are you suffering from IBS?

Dietary changes could be the answer.

Speak to Carrie for more information.

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is something I see frequently in clinic, and it can be challenging on many levels. If you’ve been diagnosed with IBS, you’ve likely been struggling with symptoms for years. While getting a diagnosis can initially feel reassuring—it finally puts a name to what you’ve been experiencing—the relief often fades quickly. For many people, that’s where the support stops, leaving you without a clear path toward real improvement.

The truth is, IBS is a broad label rather than a specific condition. It’s an umbrella term that covers a wide range of digestive issues, which is why it can feel so difficult to find the right solutions.
If you’re ready to get to the root of your symptoms, I’d be happy to talk things through and help you find a way forward.

You can book a free 30-minute IBS Health Check by emailing me at nutrition@carrietemple.com or calling 07900 810663

We’re excited to welcome Michelle Winter massage therapy & movement to the Strive team!

Michelle brings a calm, professional approach to massage therapy, helping you release tension, ease aches and feel better both physically and mentally. Her clients absolutely love her treatments (and if you’ve experienced one already, she’d love a review).

Sometimes the best way to find out how good a massage really is… is to book one yourself.

📍Available now at Strive, Kirkcaldy

Hi everyone, I would like to take this opportunity to welcome the new followers. As you can see from my page I'm not very good at posting things and advertising.

I do find it difficult to create content to let you know how good my massages are and why you should book in with me. I can't do before and after photos to show results, as the results are all about how you feel physically, mentally and sometimes emotionally before and after the treatment.

So I feel I need to rely on word of month and reviews of people telling you about their experience and how good I am. (Hint hint, feel free to share your experience in the comments or write a review)

But I do know the best way to find out how good my massages actually are, is to book in for one and experience it for yourself.

Happy 10 years to me!🎉

Thankfully I have Facebook to remind me 🤣 Maybe it's all the Halloween madness or maybe just perimenopause but I hadn't quite realised that 10 years had passed🤦🏼‍♀️.

Is that even me?🤣

They do say that "time flies when your having fun" 👍🏻
My journey in Nutritional Therapy has grown into something far more meaningful than I ever imagined. Over the past 10 years in my clinic, I’ve had the privilege of meeting so many incredible and inspiring people. While they may come to me for guidance, they also share their stories, their challenges, and their successes — and that exchange is truly special.

Watching each person discover their own strength and determination is endlessly inspiring. I’m so grateful for the trust my clients place in me and for the opportunity to be a small part of their journey toward better health and wellbeing.

Here's to the next 10

Is IBS making your life miserable?

Bloated, gassy, crampy, and uncomfortable? Struggling with constipation one moment and running to the loo the next?

You’re not alone—this sounds like Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), a common condition affecting up to a third of people at some point in their lives, according to Guts UK. It’s one of the top reasons people visit their doctor.

But here’s the frustrating part: the NHS says there’s not much that can be done. IBS is often labeled as a lifelong issue with no clear cause and no real cure—just symptom management with over-the-counter meds. Not exactly reassuring, right?

The good news? There are answers. As a nutrition professional specialising in digestive health, I can help you explore natural solutions beyond just temporary fixes. Together, we can work to uncover the root cause of your symptoms and create a plan to help you feel better—for good.

Ready to take control of your gut health? Book a free 30-minute mini consultation today and let’s find a solution that works for you!

Did you know there’s a strong link between gut health and mental well-being? The digestive system, often called the "second brain," is directly connected to the brain through a network of nerves known as the Enteric Nervous System (ENS).

Ever noticed how feelings of anxiety, stress, or depression can affect your stomach? Symptoms like bloating, burping, diarrhea, constipation, nausea, or heartburn can all be triggered by emotional distress.

Likewise, when your stomach is upset—whether due to illness or something you’ve eaten—it’s common to experience low mood, anxiety, brain fog, fatigue, or a lack of motivation.

This gut-brain connection works both ways, meaning each influences the other. If you have chronic digestive conditions like IBS, Crohn’s disease, or ulcerative colitis, you’re at a higher risk of experiencing mental health challenges. Whether mild or severe, these issues can significantly impact your quality of life.

The good news? By prioritizing your gut health through proper nutrition and dietary choices, you can take back control of your emotional and mental well-being. Choosing the right foods and implementing gut-friendly habits can lead to noticeable improvements in mood and overall mental clarity.

If this resonates with you and you’re ready to reclaim your health, reach out today. You don’t have to suffer any longer—it’s not just in your head! 👍🏻

Are you just tired or is it fatigue?

Tiredness is the feeling of being tired which is usually caused by a busy day, lack of sleep or exercise, for example. Tiredness is improved with sleep or rest.

Fatigue is more severe prolonged tiredness that has an impact on daily life. It may be the result of one or more factors and is not always resolved with rest.

A balanced diet can address many underlying health issues, but it's important to remember that there is no one nutrient that's responsible for all ill health, and there is no one nutrient that will make us healthy. It really is about our overall dietary pattern.

A nutrition professional can provide expert advice and support to help you make positive changes to your diet and lifestyle (such as sleep hygiene and exercise) in order to combat tiredness, reduce fatigue and boost energy levels. Whilst having a general understanding is helpful, a nutrition professional can help you identify what is right for you.

To learn more about how you can manage your energy levels with the support of nutrition, get in touch now and we can explore a solution together.
