Chronic oedema is not a detox problem.

If we’re talking lymphoedema, fluid accumulation is the primary issue. The lymphatic system has reduced transport capacity, so fluid builds.

If we’re talking lipoedema, the primary issue is disordered adipose tissue. It is not “just fluid.” However, as tissue load increases and lymphatic demand rises, secondary oedema can develop when that load exceeds capacity.

That’s a load versus capacity problem. Not a willpower problem.

Teas won’t fix that.
A 5 day cleanse won’t fix that.
One massage won’t fix that.

What actually helps?

Properly fitted compression.
Consistent muscle pump through walking and strength work.
Manual lymphatic drainage when appropriate.
Long term strategy.

It builds when the system is overwhelmed.

If you’re managing lymphoedema or navigating lipoedema with secondary swelling, this is the work.

This isn't about aesthetics.
It's about preserving function and independence over time.
You cannot out run this. It needs a plan, and your leadership to drive it.

It's the long game, and it's well worth joining in.

DM me if you'd like to chat how I can help you on this.

Being unfit isn't a personality trait.
It's usually a lack of practice.

Fitness is a skill, like balance coordination, or learning a language. It feels clumsy at first, then gradually more familiar.

If you're new to exercise or coming back after a long break, that awkward phase is part of the process, not signs you're doing anything wrong.

Lead yourself with kindness and consistency, this will create the change you're seeking.

Support beats pressure every time.

If exercise has never stuck, it's rarely because you didn't try hard enough.

Most people are encouraged to start in the wrong place; too hard, too fast - so you just stop. Makes absolute sense.

It doesn’t mean its wrong for you. Just the starting point was off.

Starting gently isn't doing less, its how you build something that actually lasts.

If you're new to exercise or coming back after a long break, this matters.

Walking is powerful.
Long-term health needs more than numbers on a watch.
The scientifically proven walkactive method really does take you from plodding to walking for health.

I can help you with this remotely as well as if you're Oxfordshire based.

These must-have fitness strategies aren’t actually a must.

If you’re a woman over 40 feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or second-guessing your training or nutrition, this is for you.

You don’t need peptides, hormone resets, supplements, gadgets, fake personalised workout plans, or extreme calorie deficits to get stronger or feel better.

You don’t need more complexity.
You need the right foundations.

Progressive strength training you can actually repeat.
Enough food to support muscle, energy, and recovery.
Protein that’s adequate, not extreme.
Nutrition education with context, not restriction.
Coaching that’s qualified, evidence-based, and honest.

Most women over 40 don’t stall because they’re doing too little.
They stall because they’re doing too much of the wrong thing.

More consistency. Better results.

Save this if you’re ready to simplify your strength training and nutrition and stop chasing fixes that were never required.

48 hours with a fever (ugh!), but...I’m not annoyed about missing exercise.

Not because I don’t value strength training.You know me, I definitely do!

You don’t lose strength in a couple of days.
You don’t undo years of consistent training by resting when your body clearly needs it.

This is the difference between exercising… and actually training.

No guilt.
No panic.
No I'll start again or trying to make up for it once I feel better.

I’ll go back to lifting, walking, Pilates and building strength when I’m well again.
Same plan. Same body. Same long term focus.

If missing one session throws everything off, it’s usually a sign the system isn’t solid yet.

Calm, steady training beats ping pong efforts every time.

Stop chasing detoxes.

Your liver and kidneys already do that job for you.

What most people are actually fighting is high stress, poor sleep, under-fueling, and trying to “reset” their body every few weeks.

That cycle keeps cortisol elevated.
And when cortisol stays high, energy drops, cravings rise, digestion feels off, and progress stalls.

If you want your body to work better, think boring but effective
Eat regularly
Move daily
Build some strength
Sleep more
Stop punishing your system

Calm inputs get better outcomes.
