A new 2025 meta-analysis found that people with anxiety have significantly lower choline-containing compounds in their brain.

Choline is essential for making acetylcholine — the neurotransmitter that keeps your mood steady, your focus sharp, and your stress response calm.

You can boost it naturally through foods like eggs, salmon, liver, broccoli, cauliflower, soya beans or with supplements like
alpha-GPC.

Brain chemistry and emotional health are deeply connected.

Is breakfast really the most important meal of the day? 🥣

YES.
 Because it can either set you up hormonally for the day ahead — or completely derail you.

But here’s the thing… It’s not about eating at a certain time.
 It’s about what you break your fast with.
👉 It must be protein.

That bowl of cereal or slice of toast with marmalade? 🙈 it’ll send your blood sugar soaring, leaving you battling cravings and willpower all day long.

Start your day with protein + healthy fats, and you’ll feel balanced, focused, and satisfied — no more mid-morning crashes or sugar hunts.

A Stanford study led by psychologist Alia Crum found that simply believing something about your body can change your biology.

Participants who were told they had a “protective” metabolism released more of the fullness hormone GLP-1 and felt more satisfied after eating — even though their genes were identical to everyone else’s.

Those who were told they had a “high-risk” gene released less GLP-1 and felt hungrier.

Their beliefs alone changed their physiology.

When you believe your body can regulate hunger, that it knows how to feel satisfied and balanced — your biology starts to follow that belief.

Change your beliefs and you change your body.

💫 Your thoughts aren’t just in your head. They’re in your hormones too.

The Path of Least Resistance

As humans, we’re wired to seek the path of least resistance — an evolutionary shortcut designed to conserve energy and stay safe.

In physics, the path of least resistance makes movement easier at first — but over time, momentum fades and everything slows into stillness.

The same happens with our health. When we keep choosing the easy path, our energy, vitality, and motivation eventually slow down too.

Yes, it’s easier to buy pre-made or processed foods — but our bodies don’t thrive on convenience. Over time, nutrient deficiencies appear, and our systems dull.

Yes, it’s easier to sit on the sofa — but our bodies are meant to move. Movement maintains muscle, strengthens bone, and helps us process emotion.

Yes, it’s easier to scroll and snack for quick dopamine — but that’s a cheap substitute. Real dopamine comes from effort, growth, and doing hard things — the kind that bring deep satisfaction and momentum.

Yes, it’s easier to text than to call — but we’re wired for face-to-face connection, for presence and shared energy.

So take a moment and ask yourself — Which path are you walking?

Science is starting to confirm what hypnotherapists have known for years — your thoughts and nervous system directly affect your hormones and brain chemistry.

A 2024 study found that hypnotherapy significantly increased serotonin levels and improved quality of life in menopausal women.
 When your body feels safe and calm, serotonin rises — and with it, your ability to regulate mood, cravings, and appetite.

That’s the same pathway we work with in my Silencing Food Noise method — retraining your subconscious mind to quiet cravings, reduce emotional eating, and restore natural balance.

✨ Your thoughts can shift your chemistry. ✨ Your chemistry can shift your weight.

🍁 When we align with the season’s energy, change feels natural — not forced. Autumn feels more grounding and effective than the pressure of January resolutions.

We psychologically expect to be ready to blossom with our new better selves in spring/ summer, yet nature understands that this process has starts in Autumn.

DM me if your ready to find out more and start your journey of change.

When you start focusing on nutrient dense food, your perception of hunger and levels of food noise will change.

My lunch today was M&S smoked salmon pate, (the whole tub), 17g of protein ✔️13.9g of fat ✔️ handful of spinach (fibre) a good drizzle of olive oil, piece of beetroot and a couple of crackers. No idea what the total calorie content is, but the pate is 212kcal and a couple of crackers 60kcal.
So low calorie, high nutrition.
The pate was £2.25 so cheaper than any standard meal deal.

When you feed the body nutrition, you find that it doesn’t need to eat as often. This is how you cut calories without counting them and without fighting hunger or food noise.

The lost art of being bored, it’s not just being able to sit and tolerate doing nothing.

In fact it’s far from it!
We live in a world where we are bombarded with information, novelty, stimulation, interaction and instant gratification. Yet we are probably more bored than ever before.

No longer is sitting watching telly enough, you may find yourself scrolling on your phone at the same time, snacking on junk food, or maybe you notice it in the inability to hold focus to read a book.

This constant bombardment drives seeking behaviour, and cheap dopamine wins.

It’s an attempt to shift an internal feeling, but the feeling is dopamine depletion and the more you seek the more you deplete.

Next time you reach for your phone to start scrolling, or you mindlessly go to eat something, check in with your body first and see if you can start to notice what I all the internal itch. It’s a sensation that feels a little uncomfortable, challenge yourself to sit with it.

boredom is no longer about ‘not enough’ — it’s about dopamine depletion and nervous system dysregulation.

Rather than eating something have a hot drink.
Impose a small rule - don’t pick up your phone and start scrolling.

By doing this you will build your window of tolerance.
You’re teaching your nervous system that its is safe with stillness.

Your future self will thank you.

A few moments of calm in between the emotional roller coaster that has been the last week.

Saying goodbye was tough ♥️😢

Would I want it any other way…No
I want Katie to experience life, and not let fear hold her back.

I’m super proud of all my girls, their drive, independence & strength. They are all braver than me.

Proud girl mum ♥️😘
