When it comes to wanting to better your health and wellbeing, it can feel very overwhelming to know where to start, not to mention the social media noise that comes alongside that! The truth is, you don’t need a whole new routine; you just need to find out what works for you.

My advice would be to start small… very small! Whether it's ensuring you are having protein with one meal, adding in a new veg to a meal each week, increasing the colour on your plate or prioritising sleep – these small habits all add up to make a significant difference.

If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure where to begin, I offer 1:1 nutritional therapy support. Together, we will review your routines, explore every system of your body, and create a plan that feels achievable and aligned with your lifestyle✨

3 things I’d advise women to prioritise to support their hormones🤍

➡️don’t cut carbs
➡️protein at breakfast
➡️avoid exercise fasted

Cortisol is not the enemy, it is a crucial hormone that gets us up in the morning, gives us motivation and protects us if we are in danger.

Issues only appear when it becomes chronically high and the body is in constant fight or flight mode — it throws everything out the window to prioritise your safety.

If your body feels safe, it will work in your favour🤍

So eat your carbs, prioritise protein and fuel your exercise ✨

✨Getting to the root cause✨

Symptom-focused approach can give quick fixes, but it doesn’t uncover the root cause of why they are there – the underlying drivers that are perpetuating the symptom – and that’s when we must ask the question of why

For example...
➡️You may have gut issues, but I want to understand your stress levels are and how your nervous system is functioning.

➡️You may want to know how to clear your skin, but I want to know how your gut and liver health is, as this is where hormones and toxins are processed and cleared.

➡️ You're tired all the time, but this isn’t just about your iron levels. I want to know how steady your blood sugar levels are – are you eating consistent meals? Do you have cravings? Could there be an imbalanced gut microbiome that could be driving inflammation?

We take time to explore the bigger picture – your day-to-day lifestyle, sleep patterns, stress load, work demands, home life, energy levels, digestion, medical history, medications, and previous injuries or illnesses.

Why? Because this deeper understanding helps join the dots of what the drivers are of what's showing up on the surface.

As a nutritional therapist, getting to the root cause is always at front of mind - we don’t just ‘treat’ symptoms✨

You don’t have to avoid snacks if you are ‘trying to be good’ – just snack smarter✨

If you are ignoring your mid-afternoon hunger and telling yourself ‘I’ll just hang on until dinner’, this can often backfire. When your hunger cues are ignored, your body speaks louder in an attempt to get you to eat

Instead of restricting yourself and ignoring the hunger, use a balanced snack to fuel yourself – it’s just another opportunity to nourish your body!

Balanced snacks = regulated blood sugar levels, maintain energy and reduce cravings✨
