The Cholesterol Coach

23/01/2026

A huge milestone moment 🥰

What started as a simple PDF I created for my 1:1 clients… that then grew into a fully digital programme supporting people all over the world… to yesterday, when I picked up the first physical copies of the Heart-Healthy Living Programme and Recipe Book!

The digital resources will always remain. They’re flexible, accessible, and crucially allow me to keep everything up to date as new research and guidance emerges. That will never change.

But I also know that for some people, having a beautifully printed copy alongside the digital tools will add another layer of support, focus and longevity. Something tangible to return to again and again. Something you can flick through, scribble in, work through the journal and mindset prompts, tick off the weekly action steps, check your understanding with the quizzes, leave on the kitchen table… and come back to whenever life gets busy.

The logistics aren’t quite finalised yet (mass printing and posting etc), but this is something I’m really excited to be bringing in soon.

Stay tuned! 🤗

What a wild few days - and weeks - this has been.

Now that the dust is starting to settle and the reality of what’s happened is slowly sinking in, I wanted to share a slightly more reflective update.

I’ve had quite a few new faces here since my article was published in the Mail on Sunday (and while it’s still going strong on the Mail Online), and a few people have asked whether this means I’ll be more present on social media again.

The honest answer is, whilst I love helping people and sharing educational content for free, social media isn’t great for my mental health. And I firmly believe that if I want to help others look after their health, I have to take care of my own too.

So if you’re new here, please know that while you won’t see a huge amount of me here, I’m still very much around. I regularly share content via my podcast and blog, and I also run a Facebook community group with over 5,000 incredibly supportive members.

If you’d like links to any of those, feel free to drop me a DM and I’ll happily point you in the right direction.

I’ll finish by saying thank you so much for all the kind comments and messages over the past few days - they’ve meant more than I can put into words.

Wishing you all a very Happy New Year. And if you ever have a question or just need a chat, I do still check my messages, so please don’t hesitate to reach out 🧡

PINCH ME!!

I can't believe I'm actually writing this... today I've been featured on the front page of the health section in the Mail on Sunday!

So incredibly grateful for all of the love and support I've received on this journey so far, and excited to continue my mission to help as many people as possible protect their hearts and their health.

🧡

Hey strangers 👋🏻

It's been about a month since I took a step back from socials. Truthfully, I didn't expect anyone to notice, but I have had some lovely messages checking in. So I wanted to pop on briefly with a little update and some reassurance.

I'm ok.

Last month, my incredible Grandad passed away after a long battle with Alzheimer’s. Yesterday, we celebrated his life in the most fitting way, complete with far too much cake and what felt like hundreds of golf balls flying off South Cerney driving range.

His final decline came at a time when I was already struggling a little mentally. So to lighten the load, I deleted my social media apps and removed something that had begun feeling more like pressure than pleasure.

Despite everything else going on, the break felt good. Really good. No thinking about content, stories, filming reels or checking analytics. It was a relief to simply be present in my own life for a while.

I tell my clients all the time that sustainable, enjoyable habits are the only ones that truly support long-term health and wellbeing. So this is me practising what I preach. Choosing to channel my energy into the areas that feel nourishing rather than draining. Family, friendships, my amazing clients, Freddie, fresh air, building my business in directions I only ever dreamt about, and looking after my mind as much as my body.

Thank you for the kindness and the messages checking in. It means more than you know 🧡

How well do you reckon your lifestyle habits are working to protect your long-term heart health?

Well wonder no more, I created a quiz for you to find out!

DM or comment 'QUIZ' and ill send you the link 😊

Yes I'm a cholesterol coach. Yes I'm a relationship with food coach. But I'm also a human being who was given ice cream as a child when I fell over and scraped my knee.

There is nothing inherently wrong with turning to food for comfort. In fact, it's completely bloody normal.

The problem arises when food or drink is the only tool in your toolkit when you're feeling sad, stressed, angry, low, or it's just been one of those days.

Right now, I'm eating Ben & Jerries because I'm feeling a bit sad. But on other occasions when I've felt like this, I've turned to other things in my dopamine toolkit;

🐕 Taking the dog for a long walk
🏋️‍♀️ Going to the gym
📱 Calling my best friend
🧹 Cleaning the house (Weird? But tidy house, tidy mind 😅)
🎙 Listening to my favourite comedy podcast
📚 Reading a book

Food is not just fuel. Food is comfort, joy, connection, creamy deliciousness with cookie dough and chocolate chips! But it shouldn't be your only source of dopamine when you need it..

What's in your dopamine toolkit?

If you don't have anything in there just yet, comment "DOPAMINE" below and I'll send you a free resource that will help you create one, plus it has tonnes of other tools you can use to manage emotional eating 🧡

When it comes to your health and your hard-earned money, trust matters.

So if you’ve ever looked at my Heart-Healthy Living Programme or Toolkit and thought, “This sounds good… but will it actually work?”

That’s a completely fair question.

Here’s the honest answer:
I don’t have large-scale study data YET.
But that’s about to change.

I’m partnering with the Health Innovation Network and a leading cardiovascular screening provider to run a pilot study of my programme - so we can start gathering robust data, at scale.

In the meantime, here’s what I can tell you:

Everything inside the Programme is rooted in research-backed medical guidance - packaged in a way that’s clear, doable, and designed for real life.

It blends evidence-based science, behaviour change tools and mindset work - because lasting health needs more than just a meal plan.

And it’s all been shaped by the real journeys of my 1:1 clients, people who’ve;
- lowered their cholesterol by up to 42%
- improved other key health and blood markers
- broken free from that “start again on Monday” cycle.

If you're ready to start now, comment READY or send me a DM.

Not sure? Drop me a HEY and we can talk it through, no pressure.

You deserve support that’s grounded in science and built for real life.

That’s exactly what this is.

Let’s pretend for a second that genetics don’t exist. 

You see someone on social media, and you think “I wish I had their…..”

We’ve all been there, I was there for years. 

Until I learnt this perspective...

If you want what someone has, you have to have their whole life with it, not just a part of it, all of it. And in exchange, you have to give up yours. 

I’m in pretty good shape. BUT... I don’t have children. I have one (relatively) low-maintenance dog. I have an incredibly flexible business that allows me to go to the gym or on long walks whenever I want. I have life pretty easy at the moment. So I can maintain my current physique without too much difficulty. 

You may want a part of your body to look a little more like mine, but would you actually want my life instead of yours? I doubt it! Not because my life is awful, of course, but because you probably love the majority of your life and the people in it. 

So the point of this post (other than to share some of the morning shots we got through from our photographer yesterday 🥰) is this, don’t waste another second of your one wild and precious life comparing yourself to a stranger on the internet. 

By all means, strive to become a fitter, stronger and healthier version of YOU. But give yourself grace on that journey, recognising you can only do the best that you can with all the other life responsibilities that you have.

And if you need help on that journey to transform your mind AND body, that's exactly what I do with my clients. I help them take their whole life into consideration and build a plan that works for THEM.

Comment or DM 'JOURNEY' and let's chat.
