💫 Things I’ve been told in the last couple of weeks ❤️

The transformations in the women I work with are astounding and so humbling too.

When I hear from friends and family members it’s even more amazing, as they will have seen the good and the bad - so when I hear about my clients from their loved ones, it is just wonderful.

It takes time, patience, effort and investing in yourself to make lasting changes for these transformations. I’ll be your guide, your cheerleader and your champion but the work is down to you.

If you are ready to make the changes and you’d like to live a healthier, happier you in 6 months time then my new 6 month packages are just what you need!

A lovely woman I spoke to last week said “it’s MY time now” and she booked in - don’t wait until you are chronically ill to make time for yourself.

If you’d like to find out more then DM me to book a discovery call 📞 as I’m now taking bookings for March.

💫 Long COVID and Chronic Illness

I know many of you suffer with chronic illness, even if it may not be Long COVID like me. And sometimes it can feel hopeless. But there is light at the end of the tunnel!

Recovery is not linear and I think that’s so important to remember - you might take two steps forward and one back. Or even three some times during a bad flare up…

🌸 Toxic positivity doesn’t help (in my experience) you cannot will yourself well…

But….

🧘‍♀️ mindset does matter, can you see yourself well again?

This time in 2025 I made the decision to take control and action, and to stop the “why me” and turned it into “why not me?” Instead.

I asked my GP to help, and she did - I asked for referrals, which I got (thank F for health insurance so I didn’t have long waiting lists, utter privilege I know!), and eventually got tons and tons of scans and got my official diagnoses.

🤷🏻‍♀️ for me the guessing was awful, knowing what it is means I can manage it.

❤️ For me that’s high sodium electrolytes, LDN medication, pacing myself and really focusing on my nervous system.

I help chronically ill women all the time - sometimes all I can do is listen, educate and write letters to their doctors on their behalf.

➡️ and sometimes I know exactly what can help because I’ve seen it before, or I’ve been through it.

I’d love you to share what has helped you, or also what you are most struggling with? Let’s talk about this more, and openly - because you are not alone!

My DMs are open always open and I always respond, whatever little I can help, I will, because you deserve to live your best life ❤️

💫 Let’s be proactive and protect our brains

The science does not support using HRT (yet?) but nutrition does show up in the science, over and over.

Here’s what the science consistently shows 👇

🥗 Dietary Patterns that Protect the Brain
The MIND diet (Mediterranean + DASH) is strongly linked to a lower risk of Alzheimer’s.

It prioritises:
🥬 Leafy greens
🫐 Berries
🥜 Nuts & seeds
🫘 Beans & legumes
🐟 Fish

Simple foods ➡️ Powerful impact. I love using this approach as it’s so doable!

🧠 Essential Nutrients
Certain nutrients are non-negotiable for brain health:

• Omega-3s (EPA & DHA) → support neuron membranes
• B vitamins → help regulate homocysteine, linked to cognitive decline

Deficiency here matters - have you checked your B12 and folate in a blood test?

🍓 Antioxidant-Rich Foods
Oxidative stress is a key driver of brain ageing.

Protective foods include:
• Berries
• Leafy greens
• Nuts
• Extra virgin olive oil

Think daily exposure, not perfection - and spot the overlap with the MIND diet?!

🦠 Gut–Brain Axis
Your microbiome talks to your brain.

Support it with:
• Fibre-rich foods
• Fermented foods (e.g. kefir, yoghurt, miso)

A healthy gut = better brain signalling.

🛡️ Prevention Starts Earlier Than You Think
The 40s and 50s are a critical window.

Why?
Because managing blood pressure, insulin resistance, and inflammation in midlife significantly reduces dementia risk later.

💧 Don’t Forget Hydration
Often overlooked, but essential.
Poor hydration can worsen cognition — especially in older adults. But also in perimenopausal women, brain fog can be much worse if you aren’t hydrating!

✨ Bottom line:
No single supplement replaces a whole-diet approach.
Food patterns > pills.
Early action > late rescue.

Save this for later 📌

I haven't introduced myself on here in quite a while! So here you go, some bits about me:

- Moved to Ireland in 1993 at 12 years old - had to learn English properly fast!
- My Bachelor Degree was in Equine Science
- My Masters was in Food Science, Technology & Nutrition
- I studied Nutritional Therapy from 2012-2015 - I did Year 1 & 2 at the same time, would NOT recommend to anybody, as I was also teaching English 23 hours a week (plus all the prep) at the time, and had a baby too

- I am a people pleaser in recovery
- I have always loved nothing better than a good book&fantasy is probably my favourite genre
- Robin Hobb is my favourite author

- I've had a number of health challenges over my lifetime, which were mostly resolved through nutritional therapy, until COVID struck
- I've had some degree of Long COVID for 6 years but am slowly getting back to myself :)

- I've loved horseriding since I'm 10 years old and it gives me utter joy - especially sharing it with our daughter now
- I live 500m from my parents, and the stable and walk with mum multiple times a week

- My professional motto (be that mentoring practitioners or nutritional therapy) is "One woman at a time" I believe that by empowering other women, by helping them thrive, whether in business or health, I can help all in their circle
- I believe in simple habits that are sustainable, not strict diets or crazy exercise plans

- My passion is probably in teaching - I've taught horseriding, English, German, Orienteering, Nutrition.... I'd honestly take any subject and teach it, it's a pure joy to impart knowledge and skills

Now you should know me a little better - and I'd love for those connected to me to share a little bit about them too, let's keep social media authentic, no need for AI to share a little about yourself - you, the human!

And thanks for being here ❤️

💫 What supplements do you take Gwen?

🥰 I get asked this a lot!

‼️ First of all we are all different and just because I take all of these doesn’t mean you need to!

➡️ Ideally you work with somebody who can suggest what you do actually need, based on your diet, digestion, lifestyle, stress levels, illnesses etc.

So, about me 🤷🏻‍♀️
🫣 Highly stressed 44 year old perimenopausal woman with Long COVID, intermittent tachycardia syndrome…

I’m also on HRT and LDN for the Long COVID 😊

Meno is brilliant and really helps me feel like me - and I like having a little extra protein in the morning via the collagen
NutriSorb iodine & selenium, better absorption
Vitamin D I love you bar this is 2,500 in each drop
Seabuckthorn oil/ Omega 7 this really bloody works
SaltyBoost that has genuinely been life changing for me
Curcumin (was a gift!)
CoQ10 & PQQ really excited about this but only on it 5 days
Lions Mane and Magnesium Taurate , love everything this company is about

I also use Liposomal vitamin C frequently, currently have a cold so I’m taking a lot of it!!

Any questions for me? Feel free to DM me so I can give you more personalized advice or maybe you want to book for a 1:1?

💫 Thrive with me ❤️

Enough of not hydrating, too much alcohol, going to bed late. Nothing I’m going to tell you is super sexy, I am not an influencer and I really just want more people to understand that there is so much you can for yourself!

Start prioritizing your health now - because future you will thank you!

When I’m 80, I want :
💊 no medications
🚽 to be able to go to the toilet alone
✈️ to travel
🌊 swim in the sea
🫂 hang out with friends
🍽️ eat and enjoy good food
💃 move my body with joy

Do any of these resonate? They are totally doable - my own parents are living proof that it can happen. You do not need to be on a cocktail of medications and stuck on your couch.

Start by following me, I have some very exciting things coming in the next couple of weeks to help you implement simple and sustainable habits, evidence based and taken from over 10 years of clinical experience ❤️

For today, make the choice to start just one thing consistently - that you’ve been putting off. And tell me what that is (for accountability) below 👇

💫 Feed your gut this holiday season!

The gut microbiome (all those bacteria living in your gut!) changes really quickly in response to your diet - some studies suggest even after 24 hours (though meaningful change does take longer - but even a week of more fiber has a significant impact).

You don’t need to suddenly jump to 50g fiber a day. In fact, don’t! You might have a serious case of constipation, worse bloating and gas and more… so introduce it slowly!

Maybe try adding a tsp of milled seeds to your breakfast, swap half your rice for quinoa and have some baked beans with your eggs instead of toast.

You can also try this curry (I added some chicken for our daughter and she really liked it), I have some frozen for a day I really don’t want to cook!

Chickpea curry
Allow an hour for this - would probably do great in the slow cooker too!

Ingredients
- 1 heaped tsp Ginger paste
- 1 heaped tsp garlic paste
- 4 tbsp curry paste (I used mild)
- Coconut and sesame seed oil
- 1 tin coconut milk
- 1 small onion
- 1 courgette
- 2 carrots
- 1 small sweet potato
- 1 tin chickpeas
- 2 heaped tbsp peanut butter
- 3 big handfuls spinach
- Salt
- Water

Method
1. add 1 heaped tsp coconut oil and a drizzle sesame oil into a heated pan
2. Add the ginger, garlic and curry paste and stir for a couple mins at medium heat
3. Add the onion
4. When the onion is soft add diced carrots and sweet potato
5. Add water (roughly 250mls but depends how liquid you want it - I added boiling to speed up the cooking)
6. Stir in the peanut butter
7. Add salt to season to your taste
8. After 5-10mins add the courgette (it takes less time than the other veggies)
9. Simmer for 10mins and add the rinsed chickpeas
10. Simmer for 20-30mins (until the carrots are soft) and add the coconut milk
11. 2-3mins before serving add the spinach and allow it to wilt
Serve with rice or quinoa (I used a pouch from Lidl of mixed quinoa for extra fiber & protein - just don’t heat up in the pouch, plastic!)

💫 Thriving over Christmas - get outside

I think getting outside is the answer to most things to be honest 🤷🏻‍♀️

☹️ feeling low? Fresh air
😖 feeling frustrated? Fresh air
🤰🏻 feeling bloated? Fresh air
🙄 kids driving you mad? Fresh air
😴 no energy? Fresh air
🤧 got a cold? Fresh air
😰 stressed or overwhelmed? Fresh air

It may be a German thing but fresh air does really help in most situations - headaches is another one?! And if you are lovely, fresh air in company ❤️

Somebody mentioned snow for Christmas - a snowball fight, walk on crunchy snow, what could be better?

So wrap up warm, get the waterproof coats ready and get outside as much as you can this holiday season 🥰 I went for a walk in my beautiful home village of Glengarriff while my kids were at choir practice, check my stories for photos. Wouldn’t see those sitting inside 😂

💫 Thriving over the holidays

I love that I can take time off to enjoy with family and friends. But I don’t want to feel

- sluggish
- heavy
- bloated

Nor do I want to sacrifice
🎄 celebrations
🎄 all the lovely food
🎄mulled wine, espresso martinis and the lot!

So I’m going to post some tips for you over the next few days to help you avoid the first list. So you can enjoy the second 🥰

Is there anything specifically you struggle with this time of year?
