Did you know you can be less lactose intolerant?

You’re not alone if you feel bloated or gassy after consuming dairy products. Chances are, you may be lactose intolerant - just like millions of people worldwide.

Lactose intolerance occurs when the body has difficulty digesting lactose, the sugar found in milk and dairy. In most people, the enzyme responsible for breaking down lactose, called lactase, decreases after infancy.

Common symptoms include:
• Bloating and gas
• Diarrhoea
• Nausea, abdominal pain, or a “growling” stomach

It’s important to note that lactose intolerance is different from a milk allergy. Lactose intolerance is caused by a lack of lactase in the small intestine, whereas a milk allergy is an immune response to milk proteins.

Certain probiotics, such as Bifidobacterium, may help manage lactose intolerance. They produce enzymes that break down lactose into glucose and galactose, which can help reduce symptoms like gas, bloating, and abdominal discomfort.

Fiber is a type of carbohydrate your body doesn’t digest, but it plays a powerful role in keeping you healthy. There are two types - soluble and insoluble and both are essential.

Getting enough fiber supports heart and gut health, helps manage blood sugar levels, and may reduce the risk of certain diseases. It can also support healthy weight management.

Let’s talk about Fruit and IBS!
Fruit isn’t just sugar - it’s nourishment your body actually needs.

Packed with vitamin C, potassium, and folate, fruit supports your immune system, helps maintain healthy blood pressure, and keeps your cells functioning properly.

The fiber in fruit also holds water and adds bulk, helping with digestion and easing constipation. And yes, it goes deeper - studies show that regular fruit intake can support gut health by improving the balance of beneficial bacteria.

Simple, natural, and doing more than you think.

Can we use ChatGPT for nutrition advice? 🤔

It is a great tool and a useful resource, but it is not a doctor or a nutritionist, and it cannot always give a personalised, fully informed response.

One of my clients used it to ask which foods can spike her blood sugar levels, but that is very personal - we all react differently. So I encouraged her to get a glucose monitor for more accurate data based on her own body and needs.

Chat GPT often gives us the answers we seek, but not always the ones we need. It does not replace a doctor or a nutritionist. Personalised nutrition is key - it has to work for your specific needs.

Nutrition When Taking GLP-1 Drugs
(Like Ozempic • Wegovy • Mounjaro)

GLP-1 medications work by targeting hormones in the gut and brain to slow digestion and help control appetite and fullness.

But how you eat alongside them makes a big difference in your results.

Common mistakes to avoid + what to do instead:

✔️ Not eating enough protein
Aim for 20-30g per meal (fish, poultry, yogurt, beans) to help maintain muscle.

✔️ Low fiber & hydration
Increase fiber intake and drink 8-12 cups of water daily.

✔️ Ignoring digestive signals
If you experience nausea or heartburn, avoid fried or spicy foods and don’t lie down right after eating.

✔️ Becoming too restrictive
Don’t demonize food. It’s okay if your preferences change - focus on balance, not perfection.

✔️ Relying on convenience foods
Prioritize whole foods, minimize processed options, and consider meal replacements when needed.

✔️ Missing key nutrients
Include fruits and vegetables daily, and supplement vitamins or micronutrients if required.

✔️ Not moving enough
Add strength training 2-3 times a week to support muscle and overall health.

💡 Small changes alongside GLP-1 medications can make a significant difference in how you feel and the results you achieve.

Biggest Mistakes People Make When Taking GLP-1 Drugs (Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro)

GLP-1 drugs work by targeting hormones in the gut and brain to slow digestion and help control appetite and feelings of fullness.

To get the best results:
• Maintain muscle: Eat 20–30g of protein per meal (fish, poultry, yogurt, beans).
• Boost fiber & hydration: Eat more fiber and drink 8–12 cups of water daily.
• Avoid digestive issues: Skip fried or spicy foods if you experience heartburn or nausea, and don’t lie down right after meals.
• Stay active: Add 30 minutes of strength training 2–3 times a week, think weights or resistance bands.
• Get your nutrients: Include plenty of fruits and vegetables to meet your vitamin and mineral needs.

What is the best time to eat your largest meal? 🍽️
☀️ Midday, around 1 PM, is when our digestive toolkit is at its peak. Our body is ready to handle a proper meal.

Versus
🌚 Eating a heavy meal at night.

Our bodies are designed to eat more during the day. It may sound strange, but around midday is when bile and pancreatic enzyme production are at their highest. That’s why lunchtime is probably the best time to have your largest meal, rather than eating a heavy dinner that just sits there.

What is the most well-researched diet for health and weightloss?

The Mediterranean diet is considered one of the most well-researched and healthiest diets in the world. It is characterised by abundant use of olive oil, high consumption of plant-based foods such as fruits 🍉, vegetables 🍆, legumes, nuts 🥜, and seeds, and regular consumption of fish 🐟 and seafood 🦞. It also includes fermented dairy products like yogurt and 🧀, as well as moderate amounts of poultry 🍗 and eggs 🍳(0–4 times per week). Sweets🍫 are consumed in low amounts, and red and processed meat 🥩 are eaten very rarely, approximately twice a month.

It is also worth noting that in Mediterranean countries, food is often locally produced and freshly prepared. Meals are typically made from local specialties, which often have higher nutritional value and greater antioxidant content.

If you are looking to lose weight in a healthy way and are struggling with gut issues, I can guide you on the right diet and lifestyle plan for your body. Feel free to reach out!

Eating balanced meals can make a big difference to your appetite. A balanced meal includes fibre from whole grains 🌾, vegetables 🥦, fruits 🍇, nuts 🥜, and seeds ; healthy fats from olive oil 🫒, oily fish 🐟, nuts, seeds, and avocados 🥑; and protein from chicken 🐓, meat 🥩, fish 🐠, legumes🫛, as well as nuts and seeds.

Including all three macronutrients helps keep you fuller for longer and reduces the urge to snack.
