Yesterday I had the pleasure of returning to Hamilton House to deliver a lunch and learn talk covering 'Smart Snacking'.

This is the third in a series of talks I have delivered for Hamilton House and it's always guaranteed to be an enjoyable afternoon.

Attendees were offered an array of delicious snacks to choose from. We compiled these together, choosing brands people might not have tried before that are both healthy and tasty.

As always, there were some great questions and interesting discussion- not only about why we snack, but also habit forming and how to keep ourselves properly fuelled throughout the day.

Thanks so much Hamilton House for having me, it was a great afternoon.

This afternoon, I was delighted to join James Hambro & Partners for a lunch and learn session.

I always love speaking at events like this, sharing my knowledge and talking through practical, easy strategies to eat better and feel energised.

Today was a session all about lunch, which seems to be a popular topic at the moment. My talk covered both eating in the office when you might not be sure what to choose and also putting together lunch when working from home.

I couldn't resist adding in a few tips about breakfast too.

There were lots of great questions and it was a lovely afternoon. Thanks so much for having me.

This morning I had the pleasure of speaking with the brilliant Small Business Wonders community about one of my favourite topics- how to power up your lunch.

We explored how small changes at lunchtime can make a big difference to energy, focus and mood throughout the afternoon.

A huge thank you to everyone who joined, asked great questions and shared their own experiences. It’s always so inspiring to connect with small business owners who are investing in their wellbeing as well as their work.

Hi everyone, I realise I've been a little quiet over the summer, so I thought I’d share a little “about me” post 👋

I’m Gaby, the founder of River Nutrition.

I'm a Registered Nutritionist living in SW London with my husband, two sons and two wonderful dogs.

I love cooking (and eating)! and am passionate about helping others enjoy food without guilt or confusion.

I retrained as my eldest son had severe allergies as a baby, and it lead me down a completely different career path. He was the reason I went back to college to retrain as a nutritional therapist, and why I am so passionate about cutting through the confusion to make nutrition accessible for all.

Through River Nutrition, I now help people- from schools to corporate teams, feel more confident about food and find balance without restriction. I believe good nutrition should be practical, flexible and part of everyday life.

I'm looking forward to connecting with more of you who are curious about food, health and wellbeing! 🌿

Feel tired even after a full night’s sleep?

One of the simplest ways to regulate your energy, mood and focus- especially during summer, is to get outside within 2 hours of waking.

☀️ Morning light supports:

- Circadian rhythm (your internal body clock)

- Hormone regulation (cortisol & melatonin)

- Better sleep at night

- Sharper focus during the day

10 minutes of sunlight first thing (no sunglasses, no phone) is surprisingly powerful. Nature really does have a reset button.

You’re allowed to say no, especially when you’re tired.

August is a time when many of us hit the wall- socially, mentally, emotionally.

One of the most valuable tools we can offer ourselves is the permission to say no.

No to the extra Zoom meeting.
No to the BBQ invite.
No to squeezing in just one more thing.

Rest is not laziness. It’s repair.

In a world that runs fast, a gentle "no" can be a radical act of self-care.

Nutrition doesn’t need to be perfect- just balanced enough.

When stress is high, eating well often feels like another thing on the to-do list.

But there's one tool I come back to with clients — the “balanced plate.”

🍽 ¼ protein (eggs, lentils, chicken)
🍠 ¼ slow-release carbs (quinoa, sweet potato, brown rice)
🥦 ½ veg or salad
🫒 + a drizzle of healthy fats, or nuts, seeds, avocado

It’s not about restriction, it’s about food that supports blood sugar, hormones, mood and energy.

Simple. Steadying. Sustainable.

Structure helps, even when routines go out the window.

The summer throws many of us off our usual rhythm, children off school, travel and long evenings.

But our nervous system still craves some sense of predictability. That doesn’t mean rigidity, it just means anchoring yourself.

3 simple anchors:
🕗 Eat within 90 mins of waking
🥗 Keep meal times relatively steady
📴 Switch off screens 30 mins before bed

It's not about control. It's about feeling more grounded in your body, especially when life gets more chaotic.

Low energy? It might be hydration, not burnout.

As the temperature rises, I see more people struggling with headaches, fatigue, and brain fog- and often, they assume it's burnout.

Sometimes? It's dehydration.

In summer, we lose more fluid and with it, key minerals like sodium and magnesium. Even slight dehydration can impact your mood, focus and stress tolerance.

💡 A quick fix:

2+ litres water daily

Add a pinch of sea salt or squeeze of citrus

Eat water-rich foods (melon, cucumber, leafy greens)

Small changes, big difference. Don’t overlook the simple stuff.

Calling all health and wellness practitioners!

After the success of July's meet up, in August we are hosting our next in-person networking event designed specifically for those working in health, nutrition, coaching, wellbeing, therapy and more.

In August, the focus will be on building a referral network.

Whether you're newly qualified or have been in the field for years, this is a space to:
- Connect with like-minded professionals
- Share ideas (and maybe a few frustrations)
- Explore collaborations
and most importantly, feel part of a supportive community

I know how easy it is to feel isolated when you’re self-employed or running a solo practice, this event is about changing that.

🗓 Date: Wednesday 13th August, 11am-12.30pm
📍 Location: Duke's Head, SW15 1JN

If you’re interested, tickets are available here: https://www.tickettailor.com/events/thewellbeingnetwork/1779488

Feel free to tag any friends or colleagues who might enjoy it. Looking forward to seeing you there.

Last week's Health & Wellness Practitioner Networking event in Putney, was a great success and a lot of fun. Thank you to everyone who came along, shared ideas and made some valuable connections.

It was wonderful to see so many passionate practitioners gathered together sparking some great conversations. The group's aim is to inspire one another and create strong B2B referrals.

I'm looking forward to the next event on 13th August- more details to follow, but if you'd like to get involved and find out when tickets go live, please get in touch.

I was delighted to return to Hamilton House last week, to deliver a talk about ultra-processed foods and my tips on how to reduce them.

Ultra-processed foods (UPFs) are everywhere, not just in obvious places like ready meals or crisps, but often hiding in foods we think of as ‘healthy’.

And while it’s not about fear or restriction, it is about awareness.

The group was brilliant, curious, open and full of great questions. These are the conversations I love having.

Thank you to the team at Hamilton House for welcoming me back. Always a pleasure.
