Halloween is almost here and my personal ritual involves making lots of batches of themed gummies for the trick-or-treaters who stop by our house!

Halloween treats don’t have to be the ultra-processed sweets we see at the supermarket - these homemade versions are packed with micro-nutrients, healthy fats, and protein from the grass-fed gelatine (an underrated superfood for gut health, immune health, and detoxification).

The recipe below is for orange and coconut gummies, but you can make any flavour you like by switching up the liquid and keeping the ratio to gelatine the same!

INGREDIENTS
250 ml (1 cup) coconut milk
250 ml (1 cup) orange juice
4 tbsp grass-fed gelatine (I like )
1 tbsp honey
1 tbsp lemon juice
Pinch of salt

EQUIPMENT
Fun halloween themed moulds!

METHOD
Pour the coconut milk and orange juice into a saucepan and stir in the gelatine
Leave to bloom for 5 minutes
Begin to heat the mixture slowly on a very low heat, stirring continually with a whisk to make sure the gelatine doesn’t stick to the bottom of the pan
When the gelatine has dissolved (you can’t see the granules anymore) take off the heat
Stir in the remaining ingredients
Pour into a glass container or silicone moulds and leave to set in the fridge
When fully set, cut into cubes (if using a glass container) or free the gummies from the silicone mould and store in the fridge

Let me know if you try them!

Most of my clients come to me feeling exhausted, depleted, out of balance, and struggling with symptoms that get in the way of daily life — often after trying “healthy” diets or supplements and still not feeling well.

Our bodies have an incredible capacity for healing, but they need the right raw materials. Nutritional therapy helps identify what’s getting in the way of energy, digestion, and hormonal balance, and creates a clear, realistic plan to support your body back to health.

I offer a free, no-strings-attached discovery call to talk through what’s been going on for you and whether nutritional therapy might be a good fit.

Based in Ludlow and available remotely.

We tucked into a wonderful meal from last night - restaurant quality food with great quality local ingredients delivered right to our door! 😊

The beetroot fritters with sour cream were the highlight for me, but honestly everything was absolutely delicious!

Before going to buy any fancy immune-boosting supplements, let’s chat about one of the absolute basics for immune health in the cooler months: hydration. Staying hydrated keeps your mucous membranes and lymphatic system flowing smoothly, helping your body clear waste and defend against pathogens - this is especially important when central heating can dry us out! Clients are often surprised when I bring up hydration in our sessions, but it’s truly one of the lowest-hanging fruits for many of us to set ourselves up for better health, and it’s completely inseparable from nutrition.

So, if you’re ready to level up your health this winter, here are some tips for optimal, immune-supportive sipping:

TIME FOR TEA

Herbal teas are not only great for keeping us toasty in winter, they stimulate our digestion and add beneficial plant compounds, vitamins, and minerals. Try immune-supportive teas (ginger is my favourite!) and adding warming spices like cinnamon and clove. Or try making an overnight infusion (30g dried herbs to 1 litre water), using herbs like nettle or oatstraw, for an extra-potent mineral content.

CAFFEINATE CONSCIOUSLY

The cooler months are a great time to slow down a little and evaluate caffeine consumption. Try avoiding caffeine on an empty stomach and see how you feel! Experiment with decaf options! Check in with whether caffeine consumption could be impacting your sleep - which is even more important as the nights grow longer and the cooler temperatures call our body to conserve energy.

EAT YOUR HYDRATION

It’s officially stew season and soups with bone broth, on-the-bone meats, dark leafy greens and root vegetables are are wonderful way to support optimal digestion while staying warm, cosy, and, crucially, hydrated. Hydration isn’t just about water, it’s about water combined with minerals (electrolytes), and stews, or simply sipping on bone broth, provides that perfect pairing.

Improving digestive function isn’t just about what you take out - it’s also what you add in! So with this in mind, here are some delicious foods that support the north-to-south digestive process in a variety of ways:

LACTO-FERMENTED VEGGIES eg. kimchi and sauerkraut

The natural probiotics, combined with fibre in the wholefood, are more likely to reach your colon compared to many probiotic supplements, where they can interact with your personal microbial blueprint. They also contain acetic acid, which supports your own stomach acid production as you eat.

BONE BROTH

Our GI tract is made of connective tissue, and bone broth is rich in connective-tissue amino acids (eg. glycine, proline, and hydroxyproline), which support the integrity of the gut lining and barrier function, improving nutrient absorption and reducing irritation and inflammation.

STEWED APPLES

Apples are rich in the soluble fibre, pectin, which both feeds our beneficial gut bacteria and works to regulate gut motility, making it useful for both diarrhea and constipation. Stewed apples are easier to digest because cooking softens the fiber and cell walls, making them gentler on the gut.

BITTER GREENS eg. rocket

Starting a meal with a small salad of bitter greens is a wonderful way to support top-to-bottom digestive function. The bitter flavour on our tongue actually stimulates the release of digestive juices (eg. stomach acid, bile, and digestive enzymes). If you’re on the go, a bitter herbal tincture before eating a heavy meal is a great way to harness this!

GINGER

Sipping some ginger tea alongside a meal can be extremely helpful for reducing nausea and bloating. Ginger, like bitters, stimulates the release of digestive enzymes (amylase, lipase, and proteases) and bile. Ginger is also helpful in speeding up gastric emptying, which may ease reflux symptoms.

If you’re struggling with reflux, bloating, diarrhea, constipation, or IBS, nutritional therapy can help! We can work together, detective style, to see which shifts would most support your individual biology from a root-cause perspective.

While I do work remotely with clients too, I’m so glad to be able to offer in-person nutritional therapy at .at for clients local to the Ludlow area. Gather is a beautiful coworking and workshop space in the heart of Ludlow. There is parking, bike racks, shared working spaces, and a private meeting room where we’ll have our sessions (swipe to see!).

Since Gather’s sister company, .house coffee roastery, is also on site, we can grab a delicious, barista-made beverage from the coffee bar before settling in to chat all things nutrition.

The wonderful studio also shares the building, so we could even time our sessions so you can catch a yoga or meditation class while you’re there!

Not only is the space beautiful, the ethos at Gather absolutely aligns with my wellness mission: the milk for the delicious flat whites is local, grass-fed and non-homogenised, the working spaces have water filters, and the bathrooms are equipped with natural, essential oil-based soaps, and organic, natural-fibre period care products.

If you’re local to Ludlow, and you’re struggling with fatigue, digestive discomfort, weight gain, or hormonal imbalances, book a free discovery call (link in bio) and we can chat about how nutritional therapy could help!

When I talk to people about what I do, I often get the impression they think it involves telling people what foods to eat and what foods not to eat, but, to be honest, Chat GPT could do that for you. The work that I do goes so much deeper into your individual lifestyle to support your body holistically.

The truth is that you could be eating the perfect foods, a totally homemade, organic, UPF-free diet AND, if the lifestyle factors are not in place, it could still be working against your goals:

You could be dialing in your macros, BUT if you’re not timing your food intake with your insulin sensitivity, you will likely still experience blood sugar issues.

You could be trying to minimize unhealthy snacks, BUT if you’re not improving sleep quality and quantity, your cravings are unlikely to let up.

You could be taking all the adaptogens, BUT if your light environment is giving you mixed signals, you will probably still struggle to unwind.

You could be eating hormone-balancing foods, BUT if you’re constantly exposed to endocrine-disruptors, it’ll be tough to shift those symptoms.

You could be in a caloric deficit, BUT if your stress hormones are too high, they will signal to your system to hold onto fat tissue.

You could be eating the most nutrient-dense meal, BUT if you’re rushing around in fight-or-flight, you won’t absorb them properly.

In my practice, we go so far beyond what you should or shouldn’t eat, because food isn’t eaten in a vacuum. We dive into meal timing, nervous system regulation, light optimisation, environmental toxins, and MUCH more - all tailored to your life, your body, and your goals.

If this sounds like the level of support you've been needing, book a free call with me! (Link in bio)

It feels so good to have graduated from and a real milestone of how far I have come with my health!

If you’d asked me 5 years ago, I would have said I never wanted to study again. It was during my PhD studies in California that I totally burnt out and fell horribly ill with long covid and chronic fatigue. For the next 3 years or so, taking a shower or going for a walk was such a struggle that the idea of embarking on a challenge like this was out of the question. You can’t follow your dreams or even know what they are from a burnt out, barely functional, dysregulated, and nutritionally depleted state. I was forced to put my health first and figure out how to nourish myself for cellular energy production.

Last year, when I told friends and family I was going to study nutrition, they were not even a little bit surprised… I’d only been researching it obsessively and ranting about it constantly for the past two years. But for me, the idea of committing to a program was scary when I’d lost so much trust in what I was capable of.

I’m so glad I took the leap because this course was exactly what I was looking for. Despite my many hours of personal research beforehand, I had so much more to learn (and still do!). While my plate looks mostly the same, my scientific understanding has deepened, as has my love for this work and my confidence in sharing it with others. I’m excited for this new chapter as a practitioner!

The benefits of protein go far beyond muscle building! Ample protein intake is key for whole body health, and if you're not consciously considering intake, you're likely not getting enough.

I've made a free guide to building your plate around protein, carbs, and fibre - without the stress of counting grams! Comment PLATE PLAN below and I'll send over a copy 😊
