When it comes to Nutrition, it's just as important for Kids as it is for adults.

Here are a few tips when it comes to fueling kids for sports activities and school:

• A small carbohydrate snack (10-20g of CHO) pre-sport may help to improve their performance and stamina. Complex carbs like brown rice, quinoa, oats, sweet potato, buckwheat, and wholegrains are the best choices.

• Eating 45-60 minutes after training is vital for glycogen replacement, plus kids are always starving after sport!

• Meals/snacks post training for kids should include a good portion of carbohydrates, as well as protein. This supports their glycogen replenishment and muscle health.

• Exercise before school results in better attention too! Even a walk or bike ride to school helps.

This is one of my top health tips.

Before you add another supplement… fix your plate first!

Supplements can be helpful yes, but they can’t outwork a diet that’s missing the basics.

What you eat most of the time is what truly supports your hormones, energy, gut, immune system and nervous system. Real food provides the foundation your body needs to actually use the supplements you take.

Start here:
• enough protein at each meal - meat, fish, eggs, legumes, tofu
• plenty of colourful vegetables
• healthy fats to support hormones - avocado, olive oil, nuts
• fibre to help your digestive system and detoxification
• regular meals to stabilise blood sugar

Once your plate is doing the heavy lifting, supplements can then be used strategically — not as a band-aid.

Food first.
Supplemental Support second.

The postnatal period is a time of enormous change — hormonally, emotionally, and neurologically. Estrogen drops rapidly after birth, sleep is disrupted, and the nervous system is often running on empty.

Saffron is one of my favourite herbs to support women during this phase.

It has been shown to:

✨ support mood and emotional balance
✨ help reduce anxiety and overwhelm
✨ calm neuroinflammation that can flare after hormonal shifts
✨ support clearer thinking and mental resilience

What I love about saffron is how gentle yet effective it is. Many women notice improvements in mood and emotional steadiness within days, without feeling sedated or dulled.

Postnatal support isn’t about “pushing through” or just coping — it’s about helping the nervous system settle and the brain adapt to a completely new rhythm of life.

As always, herbs should be individualised, especially in the postnatal period and if breastfeeding. If you’re wondering whether saffron is right for you, this is something I support women with in clinic.

You deserve to feel supported in this season, not just survive it.

A little off my usual health posts… but this is a genuine go-to for me.

I’m very careful about what I put on my body, not just what I put in it. Skin absorbs more than we realise, and for me, skincare has to make sense from a natural, nourishing perspective.

Face Hero oil is one I keep coming back to.

It’s simple, nourishing, and my skin just… likes it. No irritation, no heaviness, no strong synthetic smell — just skin that feels calm, hydrated and supported.

I love that it’s made with quality plant oils that work with the skin barrier, not against it. Especially when hormones, stress or seasonal changes make skin more reactive, this kind of product matters.

Not an ad. Just something I use and genuinely rate for natural reasons.

New in clinic: OEA by Designs for Health

OEA (oleoylethanolamide) is a naturally occurring fatty acid that plays a role in appetite regulation. It works by helping signal to the brain when you’re satisfied and full, rather than pushing hunger suppression through stimulatory pathways.

I’m often asked about alternatives to medications like Ozempic, and while OEA works very differently, it can be a supportive option for appetite awareness and satiety, especially for people wanting a more gentle, body-led approach.

OEA supports:
• clearer hunger and fullness signals
• reduced constant food noise
• better regulation around meals

It doesn’t override your body.
It helps your body communicate better.

As always, this isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution. Appetite, weight, and metabolism are influenced by hormones, blood sugar, stress, sleep, and nervous system health — so OEA works best as part of an individualised plan.

If you’re curious whether this is appropriate for you, I’m happy to talk it through in clinic.

Saffron is one of my favourite fast-acting herbs for nervous system support.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, snappy, emotional, or mentally overloaded, saffron can be incredibly helpful. It works quickly to support the nervous system, helping to calm irritability, lift mood, and take the edge off that “everything feels like too much” feeling.

What I love about saffron is how gentle yet effective it is. Many people notice a shift within a few days — clearer thinking, steadier emotions, and a bit more breathing space.

This time of year can be particularly demanding on the nervous system, and saffron can work to help you feel more settled.

As always, herbs work best when they’re tailored to your individual needs. If overwhelm has become your baseline, it’s worth looking deeper and creating a plan that actually supports you.

Milk thistle is one of my go-to herbs for gentle liver support in clinic.

This time of year, the liver often has a bit more to deal with — post Christmas and new years party foods, more alcohol, disrupted routines, and less rest. Milk thistle works quietly in the background, supporting liver cells to regenerate and helping the liver do what it’s designed to do, which is process hormones, toxins, and metabolic waste for you.

Milk thistle isn't a harsh or aggressive herb, which is why I really love using it.
It simply supports liver function so the body can find its rhythm again and start to work more optimally.

This makes milk thistle a beautiful option when you’re feeling sluggish, foggy, or a bit off after the festive period.

As always, herbal support works best when it’s chosen for you. If you’re unsure whether milk thistle is appropriate, or how to use it alongside other support, this is something I guide people through in clinic.

Leave any questions you have in the comments, and I will get back to you soon,

Detoxing doesn’t have to mean buying supplements.

One of the simplest (and cheapest) ways to support your body’s natural detox pathways is actually through resting your digestion.

A gentle 24-hour water fast can be incredibly supportive for many people:
• Herbal tea, water and black coffee are fine
• Finish your last meal around 2:30pm
• Break the fast with your next meal at 2:30pm the following day

This gives your liver, gut and metabolic system a real chance to catch up, reset, and clear what it’s been holding onto. Many people notice clearer thinking, better digestion, and improved energy afterwards. I personally love doing this too, it helps me to have that feeling of firing on all cylinders.

Doing this once a month can be very helpful for your overall health.
Some people do it more often, but this is where guidance matters.

Fasting isn’t suitable for everyone, and it should always be individualised. If you have underlying health conditions, are under significant stress, or have a history of disordered eating, this needs to be approached carefully, and fasting might not be the best option for you.

Please get in touch with me if you are interested in this, and we can discuss together the best approach for your health right now.

My top health and weight secret = Prioritise protein at every meal! It makes everything easier, including meeting your weight loss goals.

Protein keeps blood sugar steady, supports muscle, helps hormones feel calmer, and stops the constant snack-seeking that creeps in during the day.

A simple way to think about it:
▪ every meal needs a clear protein anchor.

Some real-life examples:
• Breakfast: 2–3 eggs, or Greek yoghurt with nuts and seeds, or a protein smoothie
• Lunch: chicken, tuna, salmon, eggs or tofu with veggies and olive oil
• Dinner: a palm-sized serve of meat, fish or legumes with colourful veg
• Snacks (if needed): cottage cheese, boiled eggs, protein water, or yoghurt

You don’t need perfection.
You don’t need fancy recipes.
You just need protein showing up consistently.

When protein is prioritised, energy improves, cravings settle, and meals feel satisfying again, which is exactly what many people are missing.

Start there and watch your energy rise and your overall health change for the better!

Before you jump straight into weight loss this Year… pause for a moment.

If your plan is more cardio, more classes, more running, more HIIT — that might actually be the thing holding your body back.

For many people (especially women in their 30s, 40s and beyond), excess cardio = more stress on the nervous system. More stress means higher cortisol, and when cortisol stays high, the body holds onto weight — even if you’re “doing everything right”.

This year, try flipping the approach:
• Increase strength training (2–3 sessions a week is enough)
• Reduce long, punishing cardio
• Build muscle → improve insulin sensitivity → support fat loss
• Train your body to feel safe, not chased

Strength training is not about getting bulky.
It’s about lowering stress hormones, stabilising blood sugar, protecting metabolism, and creating a body that actually responds.

Weight loss isn’t about doing more. It’s about doing what your hormones can work with. Please DM me if you would like to chat further and learn how I can support you with your 2026 Weight loss goals,

Boxing Day reminder for anyone who may have over indulged last night 🍷🥂

If you’re feeling flat, foggy, puffy, or just not quite human today, electrolytes can be an absolute game changer.

Alcohol pulls fluid and minerals from the body, and that “hungover haze” is often just dehydration + electrolyte imbalance. Rather than reaching for another coffee or sugary sports drink, go straight to a clean electrolyte option.

Koda + LMNT are my favourites (and yes, I stock both in clinic):
• High sodium to pull fluid back into your cells
• No sugar (so you don’t get the blood sugar crash)
• Fast rehydration + clearer head

If you’ve woken up feeling like your brain is two steps behind your body today, this is the simplest fix.
