Globally, what is the leading cause of death? 🤔

The clients who make long term changes and are an absolute dream to work with are those who focus on LEARNING 👏🫶 over INSTANT GRATIFICATION (ie I expect to lose all my excess weight and fix all my health issues yesterday). 🤦‍♀️

This client is an absolute pleasure to work with and it makes me so happy to see her feeling herself again! 🥰

Even those who have a wealth of knowledge when it comes to nutrition still need help at times …..

The first slide was Jade making contact 3 months ago; the second an email from her a few days ago.

I can’t tell you how often I hear people say they eat well yet they don’t know why they feel rubbish or have all these health issues. In 25 years I’ve met only a handful of people who that statement rings true. As a degree qualified nutritionist Jade was one of those few who was indeed eating well yet still had all those symptoms.
After going over her labs, symptoms and having her initial consult, I suspected she had poor methylation among a few other things going on. And in addressing those issues all her symptoms have gone, and she’s dropped 17 pounds.

My point here is that so many people think they’re doing everything right yet they’re barely doing the basics well. If you’re experiencing any symptoms of poor health, I guarantee you working with a professional to nail the basics and then address any underlying more complex biochemical functions, like poor methylation as with Jade, will be a game changer to your health. ❤️

Chapter 45 💃🎉

I stay in the Pinnacles hut once a month, one of my fav hikes and places. 😍 This month I timed it around my birthday – my kind of birthday treat! 🥳🤩👌

Aged 20. Back then I didn’t quite realise the impact of living a healthy lifestyle for the next 25 years would have on my quality of life now, at 45.

Allowing me to live the life I want. Happy, healthy and grateful to be turning this next page, in the midst of perimenopause and feeling incredible. 💃🎉

It’s never too late to make changes, you just need to start. 🫶 And by start I don’t mean doing restrictive generic diets found on the internet or a cals & macros plan from a bro science “coach” - these do more harm than good. 🙅‍♀️
I mean working with a degree qualified nutritionist and personal trainer who fully understands the complexities of hormones and metabolic health so they can educate and support you in making lifelong changes to live your very best life. ✅❤️

Some of my meals of late – swipe right if you’d like to meet my fridge 🧐😂

A reminder we all have completely different nutritional needs based on body composition (muscle v fat ratio), how active we are and our overall metabolic health.

This is why what works for your friend won’t work for you and what works for you won’t work for your partner.

A typical work day for me is up at 4am (sometimes earlier) for client calls, a break around 7.30am to have breakfast, walk my dogs then go for a beach walk before a morning of back to back clients/work. Lunch break is the gym (weights 4 x p/w), quick walk for my dogs again before an afternoon of more clients/work.

So even though I work from home my breakfasts, lunches and dinners need to be quick! Taking 30 mins on a Sunday to cut some vegetables to have on hand saves me SO much time during the busy weeks. That’s 30 mins of my entire week! And when I didn’t work from home, I’d make lunch for the following day the night prior while cooking dinner – too easy when the want is there!

The amount of women who’ve come to me thinking their bodies are broken due to perimenopause symptoms, and then felt like a new person once nutrition changes are made, is quite staggering.

Correcting health issues like poor blood sugar and addressing nutrition and lifestyle is an absolute game changer for perimenopause symptoms. ❤️

Grant (46) has been medicated for high blood pressure, high cholesterol and pre-diabetes for the past 15 years. Although a “healthy” weight, he struggled to move his body without pain, had zero energy, poor sleep, constant headaches, bad moods (his words not mine 😂) and chronic gut issues. On top of the health issues he was medicated for.

As of today (4 months later), he’s off all his meds, his sleep, headaches, moods and gut issues are fixed, and he’s now a hands-on Dad being able to run around with his kids. 🎉👏

I have all the time in the world for those who want to make changes to their health long term (not just chasing the instant gratification of a temporary reduction on the scales) and live their best lives! 🫶

3 years ago today and I was out to it having my uterus, tubes and cervix removed ….
What reminded me of this was talking to a client (36) earlier today who after hearing me speak at a women’s health event booked to work with me. Prior to hearing me speak she was at the point of thinking a hysterectomy was the best option for her heavy and painful periods.
From everything she said in her initial consult and bloods I suspected she just had a hormone imbalance due to diet and lifestyle. So, we corrected that over the past few months and this morning (as she does every session) she reminded me with excitement her periods are finally normal for the first time in her life – no pain, heavy bleeding or bad PMS since correcting her nutrition.
My hysterectomy was to cure adenomyosis, a reminder a hysterectomy is NOT a cure for endometriosis. Even though I wouldn’t change having endo excision surgery or a hysterectomy, any surgery presents issues. So the last thing any female should be doing is just “taking it all out” so they don’t have to have periods.
If it’s a hormone imbalance this isn’t fixing the root cause and if you have your ovaries removed as part of the hysterectomy, you’ll go into surgical menopause and no longer have your hormones which we need for overall health – we want to hold onto them for as long as possible!
Heavy painful periods aren’t normal but unless there is a gynae issue like adenomyosis or endo (although endo is more an immune dysfunction issue), balancing hormones with nutrition will resolve these issues. This is my experience with 99% of females I’ve worked with.

This is a pain diary of a new client who has diverticulitis. You can see from this diary within a few days of seeing me and starting her plan, her pain settled and she’s now on day 16 of NO PAIN after having chronic debilitating daily pain (and seeing countless specialists) for YEARS. 🎉 🥳

She’s also noticed a big shift in her moods and energy. In addition to repairing her gut we’re also addressing her high cholesterol, fatty liver and insulin resistance plus supporting her through perimenopause. 🥰

Poor gut health is extremely common these days due to poor diet and lifestyle.

Common symptoms of poor gut health:

🚩 Constipation/diarrhoea
🚩 Abdominal pain/cramps
🚩 Incomplete bowel motions
🚩 Bloating
🚩 Gas (from both ends)
🚩 Skin issues
🚩 Acid reflux/heartburn
🚩 Sugar cravings
🚩 Food intolerances
🚩 Low moods and/or energy
🚩 Sleep issues
🚩 Sick often (weak immune system)
🚩 Hormonal chaos
🚩 Brain fog

Most people have poor gut health and don’t even realise it. Gut health is everything to overall health so if your gut is struggling your overall physical and mental health will be too. ❤️

Some of my meals over the past few weeks.

We each have different dietary requirements determined by a complex interplay of factors.

I love working with clients to establish their individual needs and seeing them thrive as a result! ❤️

Currently accepting new clients, feel free to reach out if you’d like to achieve optimal health and feel amazing as a result! 🥰

🥰 CLIENT SPOTLIGHT 🥰

When you work with a knowledgable and experienced professional you can’t not reach your goals. 🥰 This doesn’t mean just getting a plan and that’s it because that will never result in long term changes.
