Hi!

I am back!!

A quick update. After a stressful divorce I was left overweight, stressed out and to top things off coping with the on-set of menopause😱😱. I have eaten healthily for years following my cancer recovery, but after my divorce and dealing with a stressful job I was piling on weight!! Everything I had previously done to lose weight, cutting back somewhat on carbs, more exercise, cutting snacks failed me. I was overweight, suffering with menopausal anxiety, struggling to sleep and feeling old! Intuitively I knew I had to adopt a different approach to address my fluctuating hormones, cut my hot sweats, lose weight and re-gain my sanity.

Thankfully I was able to do just that. I am now nearly 2 stone slimmer and have regained my energy and enthusiasm for life😊

If you are a perimenopausal/menopausal woman looking to take back control of their life and would
relish some one on one practical support, please get in touch and we can arrange a consultation and subsequent health and well-being programme to target your specific goals. I am also keen to work with ladies who have survived a cancer diagnosis but are at a loss with how to empower and move forward with their lives.

❤The best nourishment we can give our body is to love it❤

Today I asked my body what she needed,
Which is a big deal
Considering my journey of
Not Really Asking That Much.

I thought she might need more water.
Or protein.
Or greens.
Or yoga.
Or supplements.
Or movement.

But as I stood in the shower
Reflecting on her stretch marks,
Her roundness where I would like flatness,
Her softness where I would like firmness,
All those conditioned wishes
That form a bundle of
Never-Quite-Right-Ness,
She whispered very gently:

Could you just love me like this?

❤Roast Butternut Squash and Sweet Potato Soup - Thai Style!❤

If you love creamy soups with a spicy kick you'll love this winter warming soup!
Loaded with beta-carotene, this soup promotes healthy skin and hair and boosts your immune system.

The addition of coconut milk, fresh coriander and some red Thai paste transforms this soup into something quite spectacular. Ideal for anyone (like my eldest son) who won't touch these vegetables on their own!

Enjoy!😀

I love this video!! People are horrified at the thought of drinking dog's milk and yet quite happily drink milk from cows which contains pus, growth hormones, antibiotics, pesticides and stress hormones (wouldn't you be stressed if you were made to produce milk for life?).

Organic plant based milks such as almond milk are much easier to digest than cows milk and create less inflammation, mucous and acidity in the body; so making the swap can really make a difference to your health, especially with conditions such as asthma, eczema, sinusitis and acne.

Nut, oat and seed milks are really easy to make at home too!! Email me at info@nelsonnutrion.co.uk if you would like a simple recipe.

So many people suffer with sleep problems but are unaware that a possible cause is gut issues! I know that when my IBS was at its worst I suffered from insomnia which led to sugary food cravings for energy - that then fed the bad bacteria in my bowel, exacerbating my IBS symptoms! Address your gut and so many health issues get resolved, making you sleep better, feel better and look better!! Contact me on 07769908271 for a free none obligatory 15 min consultation if you need help with any of these issues.

❤This l👀ks great!! ❤ However, I wouldn't recommend using olive oil to fry the 'cauliflower toasts' in. Heating olive oil above a low heat can destroy it's health giving properties; so save it for drizzling on salads and baked potatoes!! Heating oils above their smoking point can also contribute to inflammation within the body. To be on the safe side, I suggest cooking with oils that have a high smoking point such as coconut oil or ghee. Enjoy 😀

Sometimes you want something quick and tasty to eat, but not too heavy and carb laden. I don't know about you, but cold salads on a cold evening do not appeal to me!! However, adding some hot wild salmon and some steamed veg (such as carrots and sweetcorn as I used in this salad) does!! Drizzle on a homemade dressing and top with pine nuts and you have got a delicious winter salad wrapped up!! Enjoy!❤

This is how I felt after they had successfully removed my cancer. What now? How do I move forward without the constant 'cancer anxiety'?
Learning to properly take care of my mind, body and spirit empowered me to a place where cancer thoughts do not rule my every thought.

My wish now is to help others feel more confident in their body. If you or anyone you know would like to work with me to achieve this, then please don't hesitate in contacting me for a non-obligatory 15 minute telephone consultation, Tel 07769908271.

During cancer, you get books and pamphlets that have information on treatments, doctor appointments, etc. But then there is the life to go back to when you are done. What now?

💚Ditch the meat in Veganuary and make one of these homemade veggie burgers in a flax seed bun!!💚
The flax seeds provide fibre and essential fatty acid (good fat) Omega 3! The burgers are made from chickpeas which contain fibre, protein, calcium, manganese, magnesium, zinc and vitamin k - and sweetcorn which are also fibre rich and boast antioxidant carotenoids beta-carotene and lutein, as well as B vitamins, vitamin C, magnesium and potassium! Pile on your favourite toppings and healthy veggie burgers never looked or tasted so good!!😋

Make the change this year!!!😀😀😀

When people first talk to me or come to see me, they often think they have to overhaul their diet and lifestyle overnight! Unless you are seriously ill, gradual changes in your diet and lifestyle over a few weeks equate to some MAJOR shifts in health for many of my clients.

If your prescriptive medicines for conditions such as heartburn, high blood pressure, arthritis, IBS, diabetes type 2, acne, to name but a few, aren't working for you; or you would prefer to address your condition naturally, (whilst still being monitored by your doctor), please get in touch and let's get you feeling fabulous this 2017!!😀😀😀😀

L👀k at this fabulous healthy, yummy recipe I picked up for you!! My added advise would be to use RAW honey and to add it to gently melted Organic Raw Virgin Coconut Oil - to preserve the health promoting properties of these two fabulous ingredients !! Enjoy!!😘
