Wet winter walks🌧️ Cold air, muddy boots, rosy cheeks… and that deep craving for something warm afterwards.

This is the season for soups, stews, roasted roots and slow-cooked comfort.

Not because salads and raw veggies are “bad” — but because in winter they can actually work against you.

Cold foods + cold weather = your body has to work harder to warm itself up. That extra stress can crank up cravings, slow digestion, and leave you feeling unsatisfied… which often leads to more snacking and easier weight gain.

Warm, seasonal meals help:

💫support digestion
💫keep blood sugar steadier
💫leave you feeling full and nourished

So if you are craving cosy carbs and cooked veg right now — listen. Your body knows it’s winter.

Eat with the season, warm yourself from the inside, and enjoy those soggy walks.

This is my winter salad version: home-made chicken bone-broth with grated veggies + fresh chopped herbs.

Today marks a big milestone for me: 12 months without a period — officially menopause! ✨

As a nutritional therapist, I feel so lucky to say I’ve had no symptoms including no belly weight gain. In fact, at nearly 46, I feel stronger, fitter, and healthier than ever. I really hope it continues this way! 💪

No meds — just optimal nutrition + daily supplements. Here’s what I do every single day to feel my best:

Start the day with a protein-rich breakfast (at least 30g protein) + fiber from food + supplement. I use zinobiotic fibers.

Move my body daily: strength training 3-4x/week at , daily walks — some with a 16kg weighted backpack

Supplemements: balance oil, multi and gut powder (daily-Zinzino Health Protocol) + collagen (10 days a month), vit D when needed

No skipping meals, no fasted workouts (used to do them, not for me anymore!)

Early bedtime — usually around 9:30pm

Optimal hydration, no fasting but last meal at 5pm most of the time

Protein + fiber at every meal

Minimal alcohol, no ultra-processed foods

Menopause doesn’t have to mean slowing down — with the right nutrition, movement, and lifestyle, it can be a thriving, empowering phase of life. 💛

Today's home-made lunch: cauliflower soup with added fiber, creatine and gelatin, topped with lots of fresh herbs. Every meal is an opportunity to support our health, energy and longevity.

Struggling to lose weight even when your diet seems right?

Here is something many people don’t realise: most people are low in omega 3s, and this could be why your muscles aren’t using energy efficiently, storing more fat, and why recovery from training feels harder than it should.

Omega 3s can improve glucose control—even without cutting calories—helping your body function more effectively.

Do you know your omega 3 levels? Test, don’t guess—most supplements don’t work as well as you might think.

A quick finger-prick test can reveal your status, and it’s an easy way to understand what might be holding your body back. I’m happy to help if you want to check yours!

Yesterday, despite the wild wind, we went for a family walk. Daily movement—even when we didn’t feel like it—made us feel amazing afterward. It’s the little things that are easy to do, but equally easy not to do, and these small daily habits bring us closer to our health goals.

💥 Quitter’s Day 💥

Today is known as the day most people give up on their New Year’s resolutions… but here’s your reminder: we don’t need perfection — we just need consistency.

One thing that truly helps me stay on track is nourishing my body, not restricting it.

One of my favourite dinners is orange-baked salmon.
Simple, delicious, and naturally rich in omega-3s.

✨ Why omega-3s matter:

• Help reduce inflammation
• Support joints, muscles & recovery
• Support brain health & mood
• Play a key role in hormone balance
•Help reduce triglycerides
•Improve skin health and many more

And if you are a woman perimenopausal / nearly menopausal like me — omega-3 is a real non-negotiable. It can make such a difference to hormones, brain fog, inflammation, and overall wellbeing.

👉 Want to know if you are actually getting enough omega-3?

I offer fatty acid testing with a 1:1 consultation to personalise your nutrition and supplementation.

✨ Special January offer:
The first 3 people to DM me can get the fatty acid test + consultation for just £99.
(Usual test value £163).
💌 DM me “OMEGA” if you would like one of the spaces.

A gentle New Year reminder (and a cosy breakfast idea) ✨
We are still in deep winter energy.

This isn’t the season to rush, restrict, or “push harder.”

From a Chinese Medicine perspective, winter is about:

• slowing down
• supporting the nervous system
• building strong foundations
• choosing nourishment over quick fixes

And that starts with breakfast.

Instead of sugary cereal or toast that spikes energy and crashes it soon after, try a savoury breakfast that actually supports your body:

🥣 Bone broth + vegetables + a small handful of oats. I also added lemon grass, kaffir lime leaves and chilli

Why this works:

✔️ Protein from the broth supports blood sugar and energy
✔️ Fibre from veg and oats keeps you fuller for longer
✔️ Warm, savoury foods support digestion and stress hormones
✔️ Fewer cravings, more stable focus through the day

Health isn’t a race.

Motivation isn’t what creates results.

It is discipline - small, daily habits — like choosing a nourishing breakfast — that are easy to do… and just as easy not to do create long term results.

Build the foundation now. The momentum comes later 🤍

Happy New Year! 🎉

Wishing everyone health and happiness for the year ahead. Health truly is everything—without it, nothing else can be fully enjoyed. As a nutritionist, I see this firsthand every day.

I welcomed the New Year in the best way possible: a family New Year’s Eve, a walk along the beach, and an evening by the fire pit with mulled wine, marshmallows, and my beautiful family.

We may not have made it to midnight, but we did make it to sunrise this morning—and that felt even better. Bonus points that our pup wasn’t bothered by the fireworks at all 🐾

Have a wonderful first day of 2026. It’s a blank book—go make it amazing ✨

Boxing Day reminder ✨

Delicious food, long beach walks, quality family time, games, laughter… and yes — probably a bit too much chocolate and wine 🍫🍷
And that’s okay.

Christmas isn’t a time for restriction or stressing about the “perfect” diet. A few days of eating more than usual cannot undo a whole year of consistency and healthy habits.

So relax. Enjoy the moments. Be present.

The routine will still be there when the holidays are over — and you’ll return to it refreshed, not guilty.

Christmas moments and family time ✨

Sharing a few pictures from our Christmas Day family walk — a reminder that nourishment isn’t just about what’s on our plate, but also the moments we share, the fresh air we breathe, and time with the people we love.

Wishing everyone a beautiful festive season filled with joyful movement, delicious food, and meaningful moments around the table. May your days be nourishing in every sense 🎄✨

Small Steps, Big Results

I was walking today and looked at the stairs ahead of me... and it got me thinking. We all want quick results, especially in January when we set goals, start strong, and then get discouraged when things feel tough.

But just like climbing stairs, you can’t get to the top in one leap — it’s about taking one step at a time. The same goes for diets, health plans, or any goal we set. It’s not that they fail, it’s that we often quit too soon.

There’s no shortcut to lasting success. Sure, it’s not easy. But is it worth it? Absolutely!

Instead of thinking, "I need to go on a diet," try shifting your mindset to, "I'm going to change my way of eating to feel amazing." Positive shifts lead to lasting change.

And remember, don’t stress too much about Christmas or any setbacks along the way. It’s okay to take a few steps back relax abd enjoy the moments. You’ll get to the top if you keep moving forward with consistency and discipline.

Take it one step at a time... we have got this. 💪✨

Looking at my children today, I wish every woman knew about the importance of preconception nutrition before they are told they could never be a mum💛

That’s why I’m so excited to announce that I’ll be speaking at an upcoming Maternity Webinar this Wednesday at 8pm, alongside two incredible midwives!

We’ll be covering:

How nutrition impacts maternal health from conception to postpartum

Practical steps to support improved chances of conception, a healthy pregnancy, and the wellbeing of both mum and baby

If you know someone who could benefit, please share this with them. Let’s spread knowledge and support for all parents-to-be!

10 Years of Loving You — a whole decade of joy, laughter, lessons, and a kind of love I never knew was possible.

There was a time when I was told I would never have children — unexplained infertility, no answers, just heartbreak. That pain pushed me onto a path I never expected… a journey into nutrition, healing, and eventually becoming a Nutritional Therapist.

Life turned my pain into purpose and you became the most beautiful reason of all.

Here is to 10 extraordinary years, my precious boy.
Thank you for choosing me.
My heart is forever yours❤️

In the rush of everyday life, it’s so easy to take the simplest things for granted. The ability to move our bodies, the warmth of the sun on our face, the breath that comes effortlessly, the quiet moments of good health we hardly notice.

But these “little things” are actually the biggest gifts.
And the most precious one of all? OUR HEALTH🧡

This holiday season, instead of giving something that gets forgotten… why not give something that truly matters?

Gift the gift of better health.

Whether it’s preventive health testing, foundational supplements, or tools that support long-term wellness — it’s a way to show your loved ones that you care in the most meaningful way.

BLACK FRIDAY offer makes the perfect timing for holiday gifting! Links in comment.

Let’s appreciate the blessings we already have — and invest in keeping them.

Your body. Your breath. Your health. Your life.
