Can we please normalise NOT skipping breakfast before our morning workouts…just because we “don’t have time”? 😅✨

🏋🏼‍♀️ I feel your pain… evening gym sessions are rough. You finish work, battle traffic, wait for free machines, then go home to cook a whole meal. Before you know it, your night’s gone and you’re going to bed with a full stomach 😩

So it totally makes sense that more people are switching to morning workouts instead 👏

💤 BUT… if you’re not fuelling your body before that session, you might be setting yourself up for a day of snacking, cravings and low energy

That’s where my Pre-Workout Yogurt Bars come in handy 💥 🙌

✨ You’ll need:
🍓 150g oats
🍓 80g dates (stones removed)
🍓 100g hot water
🍓 ½ tsp sea salt
🍓 ½ tsp Ceylon cinnamon
🍓 30g coconut oil
🍓 30g ground flaxseeds
🍓 100g frozen berries
🍓 200g 0% Greek yogurt
🍓 1 tbsp lemon juice (optional)

✨ Method:
1️⃣ Add dates, coconut oil, cinnamon, salt + hot water to a bowl. Soak a few mins to soften, then mash together.
2️⃣ Add oats + flaxseeds, mix with your hands.
3️⃣ Press into a small baking tray.
4️⃣ Mix yogurt + lemon juice (if using), spread on top.
5️⃣ Heat berries until soft, layer over yogurt.
6️⃣ Freeze until solid
7️⃣ Cut into 6 bars + store in freezer.

👉 I like to microwave one for 20 seconds in the morning so it’s not too cold on my teeth (or tummy!) 😋

I’m not a morning person. Never have been and probably never will be 😅

But since moving towns, I’ve discovered the gyms get hella busy in the late afternoon. So, I’ve been experimenting with morning workouts. And my first thought was… what on earth do I eat before the gym at 7am? 😮

Now, as a Nutritional Therapist, I always tell my clients…

👉🏻 Please don’t exercise on an empty stomach.

👉🏻 Especially as a woman.

🏋🏼‍♀️ When you train fasted (aka not eating brekkie), your body thinks there’s no food around and it triggers a little internal stress response. Not ideal for your hormones or your energy!

🥞 But I get it, no one wants to faff about with breakfast on the best of days! So I designed a grab-and go breakfast for women who want to nourish their hormones AND fuel their morning workout

😔 There’s one catch guys… you do have to put a little prep together the night before (but I promise it’s worth it!!)
If you’d like the recipe, stay tuned as I’ll be sharing it next week. In the meantime, I’d love to know…

👉 Do you eat breakfast before your workout or do you tend to skip it?

3 everyday foods that naturally boost GLP-1 and help control your appetite, with or without injections ⬇

GLP-1 is your body’s own appetite and blood sugar regulator and surprise surprise, it loves certain foods!

🥚 Protein
🥑 Healthy fats
🥦 Fibre

Now, I’m pretty sure you already knew these foods good for you, but maybe…

👉 You’re not sure how to put them together into an actual meal
👉 You hate spending hours in the kitchen cooking recipes with 20 ingredients (and buying expensive spices you’ll only use once)
👉 You’re worried your new packed lunches will either spark a hundred questions or get the classic 'ew, what’s that?' look from across the office

The good news is… I can support you with this! 🤗

Get access to done-for-you recipes, simple swaps and real-life food routines, that don’t require becoming a part-time chef. And don’t worry, I’m not going to turn you in that person who puts fish in the work microwave 👀🐟

There’s something nobody tells you before starting weight loss injections… and it hits the hardest in week one. Let’s talk about it ⬇🤮

🐝 You’re buzzing to start
💊 You’ve picked up your script
✨ You’re ready for the “new you”

…Then BAM! Nausea, constipation, fatigue, bloating, weird burps, maybe even heartburn that makes you question all your life choices 😖

Look, side effects can happen when starting anything new. But you don’t have to just “ride it out” and hope for the best ❤

Imagine if:

👉 You knew exactly what foods to eat (and avoid)
👉 You had a plan to minimise nausea before it hits
👉 You could actually enjoy the process instead of white-knuckling your way through it

That’s exactly what I help my clients with in my clinic. Practical tools and scientifically-researched nutrition strategies to support a smoother GLP-1 journey. Get in touch to find out more today 😊

If you’re still scared of fat, we need to have a chat… ⬇😉

Somewhere a long time ago, fat got demonised. But the truth is, healthy fats are essential for our bodies, especially if you’re trying to support your hormones

🥑 Avocados, nuts, olive oil, salmon… these beauties don’t just taste good, they help to regulate hunger, stabilise blood sugar and even boost GLP-1 naturally (this is one of the hormones that control your appetite)

🥣I see so many clients still scared to have whole milk in their porridge or avoid hummus like it’s the plague. But your body needs fat. Your hormones are actually made from it and spoiler alert: those hormones are driving your appetite, energy and weight regulation 😅

It doesn’t take much! Add a thumb-sized portion of healthy fats to each meal and see how your satiety improves. You may even feel fuller, more energised and way less likely to faceplant into a multipack of crisps by 4pm

Are you a fat free shopper or full fat lover? Let me know below 🛒👇

Does your stubborn “meno belly” just not budge, even though you’ve been exercising and eating healthy? 🥦

During perimenopause, your decline in oestrogen triggers lots of hormonal changes that influence your ability to lose weight around your mid section…

‍🧔 You have more available testosterone which triggers a redistribution of body fat around the the abdominal area

🍽 You have a decrease in your natural appetite suppressant

😴 If you have disruptions to your sleep it can lead to an increase in your hunger hormones (as well as the tiredness affecting your motivation to exercise)

So what’s the answer if you've hit a plateau and the exercise you've been doing for yonks is no longer ticking the box?

Movement that is...

💃 Fun
💯 Consistent
👭 Involves community

AND nutrition ofc 😉

Ask yourself these 2 questions to get started today…

1. What kind of movement are you missing in your life right now? Strength training? Cardio? Something to help your balance and flexibility?
2. Who can you rope in to make it fun and sociable? A mate for Pilates, a local hiking crew, a run club?

Suddenly moving your body never felt easier 😊

I’m breaking down the ways nutritional therapy can support at you through perimenopause at my talk this September. Grab your ticket through the link in my bio to learn how to navigate the midlife weight changes 🍽🥰

There’s something no one tells you about trying to eat well while building your business… and it might be why your energy’s always on the floor. Let’s dig in ⬇🍽

Confession time: I’ve hard my fair share of days this year where I’ve eaten lunch at 4pm or finished working at 9pm thinking, “F***, what can I cook at this time?!”

And yep, I’m a Nutritional Therapist. I should know better 🙈

But the truth is, being self-employed, juggling clients, content, creating new offers and all the backend chaos? It gets hectic. And sometimes when I’m in deep focus mode, stopping for a meal genuinely slips my mind

The irony isn’t lost on me - I tell my clients how important regular meals are! And yet, I’ve definitely ignored my own advice and had my own version of ‘girl dinner’ 😅🎀 🍽💗🌸

The reality is skipping meals or delaying meals messes with your hunger hormones. It can lead to bigger energy crashes, bigger portions later and usually, a lot less satisfaction. But eating 3 meals at roughly the same time each day? That keeps gut hormones like GLP-1 steady, which helps your appetite and portions stay in check 🤗

While I do have the occasional late-night meal oopsie, it’s not something I do every week or try to turn into a habit 😉

So here’s my gentle nudge: Try your best to eat regularly, even when work is chaotic. But if you miss a meal now and then? You’re human. I won’t judge you. I’m right there with you!

Are you a loyal 3 meals a day kind of person or do you regularly vanish into a flow state and forget to eat? Let me know below! 🍽👇🏽

There’s one key mistake people make after finishing weight loss injections and it’s probably why the weight creeps back on…

(And no, it’s not because you “weren’t disciplined enough” 🙄)

Did you know, up to two-thirds of the weight lost on GLP-1 meds can come back, once you stop? Lose 30kg? You could see 20kg creep back if you don’t have solid habits in place 🙃

But I bring good news too… this bit is in your control 🥳

In my practice, I help clients take the guesswork out of life after injections. We build long-term strategies that feel doable with:

✅ A structured plan
✅ Real-life accountability
✅ Zero pressure to “get it perfect”
✅ Habit options to suit you

This isn’t about restriction. It’s about giving you actual tools to keep what you worked so hard for. I’m designing a group programme to help you build the kind of daily routines that support your results, on or off the meds. Tap the link in bio to join the waiting list 💌

There’s one thing nobody talks about before starting Wegovy… and it could make or break your weight loss results. Let’s talk about it! 👀💉

Everyone seems to be asking me lately: “What do you think of weight loss injections?”

🥑 So here’s my two pence: Semaglutide (aka Wegovy) mimics GLP-1, a hormone which is released after eating and signals fullness to the brain. This helps appetite control and blood sugar balance

But (there’s always a but isn’t there!)…

🍷 You still need to eat like a functioning adult and move your body. No medication is going to undo Friday night takeaway, skipping meals or living off oat milk frappes and vibes ✨

💉 Injections can support weight loss, but it works best if your lifestyle doesn’t sabotage it behind the scenes. Many of my weight loss clients are doing well on these meds and are feeling more confident about maintaining their healthy habits for when they eventually come off them

🤸🏿‍♀️ So if you’re on, or thinking about going on, weight loss meds and want to reap the rewards, you’ll need to address your habits too. That’s where nutritional therapy come in!

If you’re on weight loss meds and your gut’s not, erm… moving, this one’s for you 💩 🚽

Yep, fibre is important, but if you’re not drinking enough water to move that fibre through, your gut’s going to be more stuck than the last Pringle in the can 😅🥫

Hydration supports the hormone GLP-1 (which regulates your appetite), keeps your bowels regular and honestly just makes you feel better. Small tweak. Big impact!

But most people know they need to drink more water - your mum’s been banging on about it since the 80s. But the how? That’s where people get stuck (if you pardon the pun 🧻)

Here are my fave client-approved tricks to drink more (without needing to buy another motivational water bottle):

🍸 The 2-2-2 method: 2 glasses in the morning, 2 mid-day, 2 later on
🥴 Start the day with a warm glass of water before you touch your phone or coffee
🍵 Get into herbal teas (Sorry to say it, but coffee and builder’s tea don’t count here)

Let me know how you get on 😊

There’s one thing that may make GLP-1 work even better and lots of people overlook it completely…

Movement - also known as ‘moving yo ass’ in my house 😅

🤸🏿‍♀️ Whether you’re using weight loss injections or not, regular exercise (especially resistance training + aerobic activities) helps your body respond better to GLP-1 and GIP. These hormones don’t just magically do the job for you, they need your body to be in the game too!

☕ Now, you don’t need to force yourself to become a regular or go to a coffee shop run club (unless the idea of free coffee is your thing 😉). But I do want you to pick something you actually enjoy and can stick to during the working week

To get you started, here are 3 easy ways to sneak in more movement during your workday:

✅ Set a timer for every 45 mins and pop out 10 bodyweight squats (get your co-workers or your cat involved!)
✅ Take a 15-min walk on your lunch break (legs, lungs and headspace sorted)
✅ Stretch your legs after dinner with a quick lap around the block

Personally? I like to incorporate a mix of daily walking and use an app for strength training 3x a week. I just show up, follow the plan and don’t have to think about what I’m doing. Perfect for us mentally overloaded girlies ❤✨

I’m all about building habits that actually stick. Your weight loss journey doesn’t need to be intense, just consistent

If you’re on weight loss injections but still hoovering up your dinner in under 5 minutes... you could be sabotaging your results. Here’s why chewing matters more than you think 👇

GLP-1 meds like Wegovy work by telling your brain: “Hey we’re full, put the fork down”

They slow digestion, which helps you stay fuller for longer 😝

🐺 But if you're wolfing your meals down like it's a hot dog eating contest, your gut doesn’t get the memo! Cue: indigestion, bloating, reflux and weirdly, still feeling hungry afterwards

👄 Chewing properly (yes, even that last mouthful) gives your digestive system time to do its job and supports how the meds work

🍽 So next time you eat, try slowing down. Put the phone down. Actually taste your food. It’s the kind of small habit that seems too simple to matter... but it does!
