If you’re thinking about how you can support your health this autumn/winter, looking after your gut microbiome really is a great place to start.

Visit my website (link in bio) to read my latest blog all about it. I cover:

1. What the gut microbiome is?
2. The crucial role it plays in our well-being, according to research so far.
3. What happens if we don’t support it?
4. How we can look after it?

I think this year I have suffered more with the ‘I don’t want to be back at my desk’ feeling after such a beautiful summer!

However, being invited to talk to the Jersey Alopecia support group yesterday was a privilege and to receive lovely feedback was the icing on the cake.

It reminded me how beneficial bringing people together to talk and share experiences can be. Autoimmune conditions are immensely complicated and highly personalized (there are no protocols to be offered) but it was great to be able to share how nutrition and lifestyle interventions can play an important role. As well as to be able to highlight avenues for further investigation that just aren’t available through mainstream medical routes yet.

Thank you for welcoming me and for the beautiful orchid.

So excited to find this. I love this brand but haven’t come across the beetroot kimchi before.

Beetroot is an all round super hero that I love and to have it combined in kimchi makes a perfect gift for your gut and over all health.

Great accompaniment to your BBQ’s this weekend!! 😊

To celebrate world microbiome day, here is a mackerel and new potato salad recipe idea full of prebiotic (food to feed your gut inhabitants) goodness.

This recipe contains cooked and cooled new potatoes. Why? If potatoes are left to cool completely after cooking (i.e. overnight in the fridge) this doubles their resistant starch content. Resistant starch is indigestible to us, which means it gets to your colon intact and provides a great source of fuel for your microbiome. A second benefit is that, unlike freshly cooked potatoes, cooled ones containing resistant starch are not rapidly broken down into glucose in your small intestine. This reduces the relatively fast blood sugar spike after your meal that potatoes have been associated with.

Enjoy!

Ingredients: guide per person

4 cooked and cooled new potatoes, halved (drizzle with olive oil or butter and sprinkle with mint)
1 x smoked mackerel fillet
3 x asparagus spears
1/2 apple (cored and chopped)
handful of roasted cashew nuts/ pistachio nuts
1/2 a fennel bulb ( sliced)
2 handfuls of mixed salad leaves (gem, chicory, watercress or any other vegetables you need to use up)

Dressing:

Try it with a simple vinaigrette (2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, 1 tbsp lemon juice or apple cider vinegar, 1/4 tsp honey, pinch of salt and pepper (2 people)

Or

1/4 cup Live/Greek yogurt or plain coconut yoghurt with 2tsp mustard, juice of 1/2 lemon (add more to taste), a handful of dill or herb of your choice, salt and pepper. (Mix it all together in a jar/bowl)

I’m so excited to be undertaking further study with the National Centre for Eating Disorders (NCFED). First module of the syllabus completed (just a 5000 word assignment to finish!!).

We know maintaining a healthy weight is not as simple as the guideline to ‘eat less move more’ or endless counting calories. There is SO much more to it. The challenge is growing in our fast paced convenience led environment.

I’m looking forward to providing another element of specialist support for my clients to navigate through this web, considering every element (diet, lifestyle, psychology, genetics, biological function). No stone left unturned!

What are you doing to stay hydrated in this beautiful weather?

I love cucumber and watermelon for their juicy thirst quenching water content. They are also, perhaps surprisingly, packed full of antioxidants, vitamins and minerals adding a nutrient kick to your snack, salad or drink.

Watermelon: Vitamin A (skin/eye health), C (aids iron absorption), B6 (helps your body break down protein), potassium (lowers blood pressure and supports nerve function), lycopene (may lower cholesterol).

Cucumber: Vitamin C and beta-carotene (immune supportive), B vitamins (reduce anxiety), silica (hair and nails), fisetin (brain health).

We like ours in drinks, frozen, in salads, ice lollies and with peanut butter. Try marmite peanut butter on cucumber it’s amazing! 🍉

It’s sunny and warm and you want to spend more time outside than in preparing meals.

This is a great, quick meal (breakfast, lunch or dinner).

Sardines are a bit like marmite - I find people love or hate them. Why should you love them?

👍 They contain beneficial omega 3 fats which have anti-inflammatory properties to support brain, skin and cardiovascular health
👍 They are high in calcium (get them with bones!)
👍 They’re a good source of protein
👍 They have a lower heavy metal load as they are small fish
👍 They’re a good source of vitamin D, especially important if you’re in the office all day

And so much more…..

How did I make this:
- Lightly toast some sourdough or a gluten free bread option
- Mash avocado onto the toast
- Spread a tsp of tomato puree over the avocado
- Place the sardines on top
- Grill until gently bubbling but check regularly to make sure the toast doesn’t burn (10 mins approx)
- Squeeze some lemon over the top
- Add sides of steamed/raw in season vegetables. 😋.

Snack idea 💡

This is a great snack option which can go to school or work (if it makes it that far!).

Enjoy. 💪

I’m so excited to be supporting and part of the summer corporate hockey league this year . Thank you to Micheal James for organizing our team.

We all know that regular exercise is good for us but sometimes we need a little push to motivate us. Finding a way to exercise with friends while learning a new skill (or trying to dust off the old ones!) is not only great physically but also mentally.

How can you build this into your life?
Classes at the gym with like minded people ?
Walking, running, paddle boarding with friends?
Getting back to competitive sport?
Finding a physical challenge and roping your friends in?!

You won’t regret it. , , , ,

Are you jumping from one dietary regime to the next? Confused by what you should be eating, when you should be eating and how you should be eating it?

As a qualified and registered nutritional therapist, I’m here to help you navigate through the confusion and marketing hype about the ‘best’ ways to eat. I believe in a ‘food first’ approach, encouraging you to embrace variety, enjoy whole foods and crowd out unhealthy alternatives. It’s all about balance.

I love nutrition but realise it’s just part of the puzzle. This is why I also consider lifestyle, environmental and genetic influences which may be a barrier to optimizing your health.

Food and lifestyle coaching are just two parts of my kit bag. I also use comprehensive blood tests, functional testing (i.e. stool analysis) and genetic profiles to help me look at what’s going on under the surface.

Not only have I studied for 4 years in Nutrition and Lifestyle Medicine but I continue to prioritize learning. I receive ongoing mentoring from highly experienced practitioners in the UK. This year so far, I have completed a 3 month in-depth nutrigenomics practitioner programme with Lifecode GX, studied advanced blood chemistry analysis and more.

I am continuously adding tools to be able to provide you with the best personalized care. I am always happy to admit when I don’t know something but will endeavour to find out. I am also more than happy to refer you on to another practitioner if I feel they will serve you better.

I’m here to help you with your health goals.

We all enjoy a treat from time to time but are you aware of your day to day ‘hidden’ sugar intake?

Did you know that your liver can process the fructose (fruit sugar) from up to two pieces of fruit per day? Any more than this gets stored as fat.

But it’s not just about sugar making us fat. Sugar is an important source of energy but when this becomes out of balance in our diets it is shown to contribute to conditions such as type 2 diabetes, heart disease, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and dementia.

Hidden sugar is everywhere: in your takeaway coffee, milkshakes, fruit smoothies, cereals, ready meals, ‘healthy’ energy bars, bread. Even seemingly healthy food and drink can be high in sugar and unlike our ancestors we don’t need to expend energy to forage for it! It has become normal to consume a high percentage of processed food.

Occasional sweet treats are fine, don’t feel guilty for craving sweet things, we’re primed to do this from an evolutionary standpoint. You can make a difference by tuning in to the ingredients in your day to day food and drink. Start checking labels. Anything with the ending ‘-ose’ is a sugar. Manufactures often list sugars and sweeteners (syrups, fruit juice concentrates) separately on labels to avoid ‘sugar’ being the first ingredient. Make simple swaps (adding foods with higher fibre and lower added sugar). Make more meals from scratch. This will be hugely beneficial for your health.

Nutritional Therapy can help guide you to achieve a more balanced diet and highlight where eating habits could be contributing to ongoing symptoms.
