This morning I shared this tip with my cleansers as we are talking today about the importance of eliminating our waste products.

When your liver has done the hard work preparing waste for elimination we want our guts to be functioning efficiently so that we can remove the waste from the body.

When our guts feel sluggish or we are constipated this can really effect the way that we feel and can be one of the reasons our energy levels are low, we experience headaches or our hormone related symptoms can be exacerbated.

This is a simple, cost effective way to get things moving 😀

Over the last few years, I’ve built in daily habits that help me feel energised, drop that stubborn weight (that crept up on me through my 40s!), and feel so much more confident as a result.

It really is the small things we do consistently that bring the best results.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not perfect. Life happens, and sometimes the habits slip (and that’s OK!). It’s definitely not about perfection. 😉

1. Getting natural light first thing in the morning 🌞
 This one’s an easy win for me because I have a dog! Getting out for a morning walk has made a huge difference to my mood and sleep. I often combine it with a walk with friends, making it fun too!

2. Eating a protein-rich breakfast 🍳
 I tend not to eat until I get back from my walk, but a protein-packed breakfast helps set my metabolism for the day and keeps sugar cravings in check. It doesn’t have to be complicated - mine is usually Greek yogurt with berries and seeds or scrambled eggs with veggies.

3. Planning my meals in advance 🗓️
 I’ll be honest, meal planning feels natural to me now. I’m not sure where I’d be without it! It saves time and removes the stress of last-minute decisions. On busy days, I plan easy options like a frozen batch-cooked meal.

4. Going to bed and waking up at regular times 🛏️⏰
 Sleep has been my biggest challenge for years, and I’ve really had to work at this one. Sometimes it’s tough to get up at the weekend when everyone else is still asleep, but the difference it makes to my energy levels, mood, and food choices is 100% worth it.

5. Prioritising yoga 🧘‍♀️
 Just because I love it. It’s my once-a-week non-negotiable commitment to myself. I don’t let family, friends, or work derail it because showing up for that class helps me show up as my best self everywhere else.

Quick reminder for January.

Thirst is often mistaken for hunger. When we’re even slightly dehydrated, it can show up as cravings, low energy or that constant feeling of needing “something”.

Staying hydrated supports energy, digestion, hormone balance and focus, yet it’s one of the easiest habits to forget, especially in winter.

If you know you don’t drink enough: 💦 Try havinga glass of water every time you make a hot drink 💦 Carry a water bottle so it’s there in front of you 💦 Add just one extra glass a day and see how you feel

The smallest changes can make the biggest difference

Simple, seasonal and so comforting. This parsnip and celeriac soup is creamy, delicious and exactly what you need on a chilly day. And don’t skip the seed sprinkle, it adds a lovely hit of flavour as well as a little nutrient boost.

Perfect for lunch, batch cooking or keeping in the freezer for busy days.

🇻🇳 Having just come back from Vietnam, I can’t stop thinking about the food – it was absolutely delicious.

One of the things we’ve really been missing is the pho that’s available on every street corner, so I’ve had a go at making my own.

Pho is brilliant for midlife women

* Supports bones, skin & joints – the long-simmered broth provides minerals and amino acids that help maintain strong bones and support the structure of skin, joints and connective tissue.
* Great for energy & hormones – chicken is a high-quality source of protein to support muscle, mood and balanced blood sugars.
* Gentle on digestion – warm broth and aromatic spices make it soothing and easy to digest. The amino acids in slow-cooked chicken broth may also help to support the lining of the gut, making it a nourishing choice when your digestion needs a little TLC.

✨ Homemade Chicken Pho Recipe ✨

Ingredients
* 1 whole chicken
* 2 star anise
* 2 tsp fennel seeds
* 2 cinnamon sticks
* 2 tsp cumin seeds
* ½ tsp cloves
* 1 tsp whole cardamom
* 1 large onion, charred
* 1 large piece of ginger, charred
* Fish sauce, to taste

Toppings Fresh coriander, Thai basil, bean sprouts, finely chopped chilli (optional), cooked brown rice noodles

Method
1. Place chicken, onion, ginger and spices in a large pan and cover with water.
2. Bring to the boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook until chicken is done (45–60 mins).
3. Remove chicken, shred the meat, and return the skin and bones to the pot.
4. Simmer for another 30 mins, skim if needed, then strain the broth. Tip: my first attempt was a bit watery (I think my pan was too big!), so I let it reduce for a further 30 minutes – and it made the flavour so much richer.
5. Season with fish sauce (to taste).
6. Serve noodles, chicken, broth and toppings in bowls.
