I’ve been sitting on this for months and honestly, tomorrow feels like one of the biggest moment of my career 🥹

What I’m about to share represents 7 years of evolution - not just as a practitioner, but in understanding exactly who I’m meant to serve and how.

It’s the most intentional thing I’ve ever built. The most aligned. The most... me ✨

I keep looking at it thinking, “this is what I was always supposed to be doing” 😌

I’ll give you one hint: the name says everything about what we’ve all been searching for 👀

8AM 29.09.24 🦋 this is it!

Weeks ago, I shared in stories that I’d been diagnosed with ADHD at 28.

Since then, I’ve been sitting with ALL the feelings: relief, grief, validation, and honestly? A bit of, “well, that explains a lot” 😅

Looking back, the signs were always there. The 10 unfinished projects, the hyperfocus until 2am (thankfully my sleep routine is much more balanced these days!), the sensory overwhelm in grocery stores, the executive function struggles that make meal planning genuinely hard some days ✍️

But here’s what I know now: ADHD is also part of my creativity, my drive, and the deep way I connect with this community. It’s why I can hold space for complexity, why I see patterns others might miss, and why I’m so passionate about affirming care ♾️

ADHD also brings real daily challenges - sensory differences, executive dysfunction, days when simple tasks might feel overwhelming. I know for many others, these challenges can require significant support.

Whether ADHD feels like:
- A difference to celebrate
- A disability requiring support
- Something complicated & both
- Still figuring it out
…every experience is unique and valid.

What matters isn’t comparing our experiences - it’s that we all deserve affirming care that honours our needs and differences.

✨ To anyone figuring themselves out: your experience is yours to define, your struggles are valid, and you deserve support that actually gets it.

⬇️ If you can relate… in the comments: what’s your biggest nutrition challenge as a neurodivergent person?

So grateful to you and this community for the outpouring of support I received when I shared news of my diagnosis too 🥹 and I can say with confidence that it’s been one of the most important & validating moments of my life!

When I started studying nutrition and dietetics 7 years ago, I was so sure I knew what ‘helping people’ looked like. Spoiler: I had a lot to learn 🥹

Since then, I’ve worked with hundreds of wonderful, resilient humans navigating eating disorder recovery, disordered eating, and neurodivergent nutrition challenges.

Turns out, the real work isn’t about fixing anyone or handing out meal plans. It’s about helping people find peace with themselves and their relationship with food 😌

I’ve picked up some extra letters after my name along the way… but what hasn’t changed? ⬇️

My core beliefs: compassion over judgment, accessible & inclusive wellness, actual evidence over diet trends, and that everyone deserves food freedom 🌸

On Monday, I’m sharing something that brings all of this together - everything I’ve learned about who I’m really here to serve 🥰 don’t forget to turn on post notifications!

What’s one thing that’s shifted for you around food over the years? I’d love to hear your story.

After 5 years, is becoming 🦋

This journey began in 2018 when I created The Healthy Label as a student, determined to tackle nutrition misinformation online. Five years later, we’ve grown into a community of 60,000+ people rejecting diet culture and building healthier relationships with food. I’m so grateful to each and every one of you. Your support has helped shape the community into what it is today 🫶

Along the way, my practice has evolved to specialise in eating disorders, mental health, and neurodivergent-affirming care, which you’ve seen reflected in the evolution of my social media content over time. This journey has also taken me from food industry events to olive groves and avocado farms, reminding me why l love what l do— food isn’t just nutrition, it’s connection culture, and joy ✨

Just like outgrowing a favorite sweater, I’ve outgrown The Healthy Label. This isn’t goodbye to what we’ve built—it’s making room for what’s next. A personal brand gives me the freedom to evolve while staying true to these values.

What’s changing? Just the handle:

What’s staying the same? Evidence-based nutrition info, diet-culture-free content, delicious recipes, and my commitment to this community 😎

The change will happen soon (as soon as Meta approves the handle change 😂)—no need to follow a new account, but you might want to update any saved links.

Stay tuned for exciting news about my private practice coming soon! 💫

Thank you for being part of every step of this journey.

Oh hey! 👋 I’m back in your feed with MORE things I’ve said as a mental health & eating disorder dietitian which are apparently controversial… [part 2] 👀

I’m posting less frequently as things have been fairly busy with 1:1 clients. I’m absolutely loving having the new face-to-face clinic in Paddington! 💖 This past month I’ve also been really investing in my own self-care (practising what I preach!) which has meant less time on social media and more time in nature and with loved ones, engaging in enjoyable movement, and getting back into cooking again 👩‍🍳

Without further ado, here’s a few things I’ve said that might contradict some of the popular nutrition advice you see on social media 🫡

1️⃣ ‘Eat when you’re hungry and stop when you’re full’ is helpful advice for some people, but very unhelpful for others. This relies on someone having reliable hunger or fullness cues, which can be impacted by so many factors including a history of disordered eating or dieting, medications, neurodivergence or alexithymia (difficulty interpreting body sensations) and more.

2️⃣ Processing foods does not make them inherently ‘unhealthy’. The healthfulness of a food is not simply determined by how closely it resembles its original form. It can also be a privileged take on nutrition because food processing can increase accessibility, affordability and often nutritional density.

3️⃣ Juice cleanses are just expensive diarrhoea (enough said) 💸💩

4️⃣ Eating disorder recovery looks different for everyone (this is nuanced), however, if the pursuit of thinness is replaced by the pursuit of muscularity, or looking ‘fit’ or ‘toned’, this fixation on controlling body shape/size/composition can still impair someone from having a balanced and positive relationship with food. It can be a red flag 🚩 when diet and exercise are rigidly controlled to the extent that they interfere with other daily activities including work, socialising, sleep and rest etc.

Lots more to say but only so much room in a caption. Drop any questions below! ✨

Let’s challenge some more diet rules today! ✨

The way we talk (and think) about food and eating can make a huge difference to our relationship with food 🥙🍌🧁🥒🥝🍕🥯

This carousel shows a simplified version of the reframing process that I often go through with my lovely clients, but if you want to make the reframes more powerful then you can combine them with your ✨why✨ for challenging them.

For example:

“I want to challenge this rule because…

👉 I want to be able to connect with friends around food without feeling anxious or worried about the meal.”

👉 I miss having the freedom to eat when I’m hungry without being restricted by rules or time constraints.”

👉 I value my mental health and know that my relationship with food is negatively impacting on this.”

👉 Thinking less about food will give me the mental space and time to pursue other meaningful parts of my life.”

These are just some examples — Instagram posts are for general advice only and can’t capture everyone’s experience with food 🌸

Let’s chat about some measures of health that aren’t the number on the scale, or body shape or size 🫶

Why is it important to have non-weight-based health goals? 🤔

We’ve made a lot of progress over the past few years in challenging the notion that pursuing weight loss or being lean is the epitome of health, but we still exist in a weight-centric culture that pedestals dieting and body manipulation, even across healthcare unfortunately (weight bias from health professionals directly contributes to avoidance of (or inadequate) medical treatment).

Focusing on the scales can ultimately be a really poor motivator for maintaining positive health changes, because it doesn’t account for normal weight fluctuations and the fact that bodies tend to gravitate towards a set point weight, and can easily reinforce disordered eating patterns & anxiety around food.

I also see so many people feeling this deep sense of failure when the number on the scale isn’t moving, despite the fact that they may be feeling considerably better in many other metrics of wellbeing. That being said, I respect the desire to lose weight given cultural, social and medical pressures.

If we use a holistic definition of health, being, “a state of physical, mental and social wellbeing, not just the absence of disease or infirmity” (from the World Health Organisation), we can expand markers of health and progress to potentially include the following:

⚡️ energy to do daily activities (physical and mental)
🥬 dietary variety, especially fibre to support our gut microbiome
💩 uncomplicated poops (regular, well formed, easy to pass)
🩸 metabolic markers within normal or optimal ranges, or as close as possible e.g. cholesterol, blood sugars
😷 good immunity or recovery from illness & injury
💊 adequate nutrient levels (zinc, iron etc.)
🩸 regular menstrual cycle (if applicable)
🏃‍♀️ cardiovascular fitness and/or strength, or some engagement in regular movement

Plus more… yours would be based on your own individual goals and capacity etc.

We’re back after a little burnout prevention hiatus from socials 💖 and I figured — why not go straight to debunking a few things I’ve been hearing about lately 👀

Things I’ve said as a mental health & eating disorder dietitian which are (apparently) controversial…

1️⃣ For many people, ‘intermittent fasting’ is one of the fastest ways to end up feeling out of control around food. Most of the research on IF is focused on rats 🐀 or male participants, and there is a real absence of research on how IF affects female (AFAB) hormones including the menstrual cycle.

Even if fasting may have some health benefits, what I see in real life is that it’s unsustainable for most people, and can increase the likelihood of binge eating or ‘rebounding’ and developing the ‘f*ck it’ mentality, if it ends up feeling too restrictive. It increases the risk of nutritional deficiencies, because people have to eat more of the core food groups in a smaller eating window. It also forces us to rely on external cues (time of day) and ignore hunger if it’s not within a specific eating window.

2️⃣ Our body needs carbs at every main meal, including dinner. We need carbs for our brain, muscles and many bodily functions as part of an overall balanced diet. Skipping carbs at dinner can make you feel extra hungry in the morning or even compromise sleep.

3️⃣ We don’t “all have the same 24 hours in a day”. Many people work long hours to pay bills, care for family members, or have limiting chronic health conditions etc. and I see too much privilege in health advice online. My experience working in the mental health and disability space has absolutely reinforced this. We always need to consider the social determinants of health.

4️⃣ Even though protein is really important, it doesn’t deserve to be put on such a tall pedestal compared to carbs and fats. If you scroll back through my profile, you’ll see a detailed post on this 🫶

Happy Friday, friends 💖

Some not-always-so-obvious diet culture red flags 🚩

Of course these are all context-dependent (and I’ll provide further explanation below), but when we are surrounded by diets, binary health advice, pressure to look a certain way, 12 week program transformation photos, people giving unsolicited advice etc., it’s hard not to be impacted by it 💥

A healthy relationship with food and our bodies can look different for everyone, but major themes include choosing foods that might be nourishing (but also that you actually enjoy without guilt or shame), permission to eat when hungry, and moving our bodies for intentions outside of manipulating weight, shape or size 🤍

Let’s chat about some of these sneaky signs 💬

🚩 Ignoring hunger cues because it’s not time to eat — yes it’s often helpful to have structured meals and snacks and regular mealtimes, but if you’re trying to adhere to very strict rules about eating (e.g. no food before 11am or after 6pm) this means ignoring internal cues when your body is signalling that it needs fuel.

🚩 When someone comments on the size of your meal — your plate is YOUR business. Exception perhaps when you are discussing meals with your dietitian 😉

🚩 Unrealistic ‘what I eat in a day’ posts — I see that these tend to cause unhelpful comparison rather than inspiration.

🚩 Counting almonds — hopefully this one is self-explanatory.

🚩 Exercising to compensate for eating — I saw a sign at the gym the other day that said ‘cleaning between sets burns more calories’, yuck. If anything takes the joy out of movement, that’s it.

🚩 When bodies are used as business cards — having a six pack is not a qualification, it’s majority genetics and privilege (and/or often rigid eating patterns).

Let me know if you found this post helpful! If you can think of any other red flags, feel free to drop them in the comments 👇
