The Wonder Clinic Feeling like a smashed packet of custard creams? I got you. This is performance coaching from someon I'm Stevie, dentist, athlete, coach.

I help athletes not only fuel their performance, but understand what role their oral health plays in that too and how to strike that delicate balance between fuelling right, maintaining a good relationship with food and sport AND making sure they don't rot their teeth at the same time! The mouth is often the first place we see warning signs of disease or deterioration in general health and this is even more important for athletes. So here I am when you need my help!

WINTER WELLNESS 3: Why brushing your teeth might help stop you catching a cold and putting the brakes on training this winter… ❄️

Vitamin C: Is it really the saviour for cold and flu this winter? Should you be investing in “you but on a really good day”? Or is it just expensive wee?? Here’s my take…

My friends are so cool they deserve a grid post.

Most of us - myself and pretty much all my clients at least - are currently in the middle of off season or winter training. But as my saying goes, there’s no such thing as off season, only cross season 😉

Cross is great because it’s all about laughing, trying new things and most importantly, hanging out with mates and supporting eachother. For some, it can also be an opportunity to try new approaches to pre and post race routines without worrying about the results…but that’s the limit of work and advice I’m doing for you today 😂

Sal had her first cross race and LOVED IT, just like we knew she would 😉

But for my long suffering bike bestie and myself, the real novelty was not just a new course but a massive field on a women’s only race to compete in! And I tell you what, she’s a speed demon is our Lucy. While I sometimes give her the elbow and make her work for the overtake, this photo of us makes me really happy, as we both got to send it side by side on some fun mud, living our best lives. For me, it’s captured everything great about racing - women challenging and supporting women at the same time.

Take note. Find friends like this. And if you can’t find this racing attitude with your mates, do better.

Now. I’ll be back in due course for some actual helpful posts because let’s be honest, it’s been a while since I’ve said anything constructive for y’all on here 😂

Had a great time on the first “proper” CX of the season - you know, the one where we actually had a tiny bit of mud and some rain 😂 Turns out I’m getting way too brave and cocky and now think I am gaining FEET of air time and showing off to fans. When in fact I am mediocre but at least still bringing the vibes in 😂

Here’s the post absolutely nobody has been waiting for…

Roubaix 2025. UCI World Masters Track Champs.
Sounds pretty grand huh?

Yeah well it was cool. Riding my bike as FAST as I could, setting some PBs and seeing some clients do the same.

But the best bit? Being among my awesome and inspiring mates. We had a pen full of brilliant vibes, and that’s why I love this kind of racing; sure, I love competing, but it’s on another level when you’re surrounded by greatness, support, laughter and just general great people! Watching people you love win medals when you know they deserve it, awesome 💪

And the most special thing of all? Having your dad there not just to watch you, but to shout at you all race and catch you at the end - not sure who was more nervous about the racing bit, .p66 or me 😂 Super special week spending time with my Pop and even managing to squeeze in some adventures in Belgium - of course featuring both chocolate and history.

Core memory logged.

See you all in London next year where we add even more speed to proceedings 😉

Popped your cherry yet?

Yes, you. I'm talking about tart cherry juice!

You've seen them all supping it at the end of the TDF stages, but what could the benefits for you be? And are there any times when taking it might be a hinderance rather than a help...?

Go fetch in this week's blog!

Are you buying into electrolyte hype...?

It's easy to be duped into thinking you should never be apart from a 4L bottle of salt and neon squash these days. But what's the REAL tea on electrolyte drinks and supplements...? This week, I've covered in my blog about all things electrolyte...

⚠️ What happens when you don’t need them, but drink them anyway...

Spoiler alert - put your electrolyte down unless you're hot, sweating heavily or you're race prepping..

“I need to do a cry.”
“Okay.”
And some other exchanges of proud athlete to athlete words, from former coach to athlete words.

I threw in an entry at considerably late notice given the challenge required and the lack of any ability to run at the moment. But with 2025 being my self declared “year of the strong one”, with about 6 weeks notice, I strapped on my big girl pants, said “f**k it” and spent my last day at 34, seeing just what I could pull outta the bag when I really asked myself.

And there we have it. I’ve not run this far in about 6 years. I’ve not done a middle distance since my Ironman days. And here’s a race where I demonstrated to myself that after all the setbacks and the consequent lack of belief and faith in myself, that experience, determination and pure GRIT would get me through whatever I set my mind to. Sure, it ain’t pretty, but it could have been a whole lot worse.

And for the first time in my life, a race where I didn’t worry about times, positions or any of that numbers malarkey, I just felt carefree, privileged to be there and proud to just be “doing the thing”, safe in the knowledge that I’ve done so much of this, I know how to hurt and when to do it.

Thanks to for one of the best organised races I’ve ever been to in 15y of multisport - it was a genuine smile the whole way round the run!

Thanks to for getting a fun group together and suggesting the race to me, but also facilitating a good cry at the end.

And of course thanks to my best good friend for being the ultimate cheerleader and top “hospitality tent” host, down to buying me chocolate milk for my finish. All photography and videos are her work. As always.

Onwards and upwards to the next challenge!

Fuelling your training properly?

What about the other 23 hours of your day? 🤔

- Long days on your feet as an active worker?
- Non-stop movement chasing kids? (Hopefully your own... 👀)
- Or…sitting at a desk all day while snacking out of boredom..?

Your day-to-day life could be quietly draining - or overloading - your energy balance—and sabotaging your recovery, performance, and body composition goals.

🥈 BRITISH TRACK MASTERS 🥈

It took a while to go from picture 1 to picture 2, but with all the ups and downs of life and training when sent me that photo of me racing I was proper proud because I almost look like a trackie now!! 🤩 Better yet, I FEEL GOOD. Fitness is back, body is back, I am back!! And it’s taken a long time to say that.

The pictures say silver medal and aggressive competitor.

The reality felt like a medal for participation in a field of 3 and absolute chopper status falling off with a toe overlap at 0 miles per hour in the warm up area 🙃

BUT. I refuse to belittle my achievements. As my friends reminded me, I’ve worked really fu***ng hard to be here. And I’m only getting better.

So here’s to being the age grouper telling you about my medal for second because I’m really fu***ng proud. And if you don’t like it, come race me next time 😘

Look out for posts on some interesting dental and nutrition choices that I used in prep and racing for a totally new discipline! 👀
