Your gut bacteria can influence serotonin… and that matters more for IBS than we once thought 🧠🦠

New research shows certain microbes may affect gut movement, pain and gut brain signalling, helping explain why IBS looks so different from person to person.

I’ve unpacked what this means (and how it links to diet and symptoms) in my latest blog.

UPFs aren't just about calories and lack of nutrients.

Ultra processed foods affects your gut bacteria, inflammation and long term health 💚

Whilst we don't need to avoid them totally, it's a good idea to think about how you can swap some for more nutrient dense alternatives.

If you want realistic swaps that fit real life, save this post 📌 and DM me anytime!

New research shows that Mediterranean style eating is linked to living longer after cancer 🌿

Comment IBS123 and I'll send you my IBS blog.

IBS isn’t one size fits all.

If you’re eating “well” and still struggling with symptoms, it usually means you need support that’s tailored to you.

My DMs are open 💚

Nutrition is not a “nice extra” in cancer care.

It affects how people cope, how they feel, and how they get through treatment.

So I’m really glad to see this finally being taken seriously 💪💚

If eating feels overwhelming right now, you’re not alone and you don’t have to figure it out by yourself. Message me anytime.

It's had a bad reputation but it's time for that to stop.

Soy.

A wonderful plant protein rich in phytoestrogens which have been shown in scientific studies time and time again to be safe and beneficial.

Especially when it comes to breast cancer.

Including soy foods in the diet has been associated with:
- reduced risk of breast cancer
- improved survival with breast cancer
- reduced risk of breast cancer recurrence
- reduction in menopausal hot flushes

How can you increase your intake of soy?
👇🏻
Add edamame beans to salads
Blend silken tofu into sauces, casseroles and curries
Use firm in stir fries
Grill tempeh for sandwiches
Try soy mince for bolognese
Swap a portion of dairy for soy milk or yoghurt
Use miso paste or soy sauce in soups or marinades

Did you know this about soy?
What's your favourite way of enjoying it?

If you’ve been told you have IBS but weren’t given a clear plan, this is for you.

Comment IBS123 and I’ll send you my evidence-based guide to understanding IBS and what actually moves symptoms forward.

No fear. No unnecessary restriction. Just structure.

Not all fibre helps IBS 💚

Some types have strong evidence behind them. Others can actually make symptoms worse.

If you’ve tried fibre before and it didn’t help, it might just be the wrong kind.

Psyllium, chia, flax can all be great, but matching the right one to you is important, as is the amount.

If you’d like help choosing what’s right for your gut, send me a DM 💌

Don’t get sidetracked by the food noise.

Start simply.
Aim for progress over perfection.
In most cases, adding more fibre is beneficial.
Think Mediterranean diet principles.

If you're stuck, get support in the right place.

I'm here for your questions!

Before you toss money at the latest ‘magic’ powder, ask these.

DM me if you'd like to chat more about this!

Soy is safe!

The global evidence tells us it may even be beneficial when considering breast cancer survivorship.

Soy can also reduce the frequency and severity of hot flushes, which is something a lot of women post breast cancer treatment experience.

Did you fear soy?
Will you consider including some now?
