Great morning with the Glens Social Club in Cushendall delivering a cookery demo and a session on Bone Health in Older Age.
We talked through the diet and lifestyle choices that keep bones strong and finished by creating a nutrient‑rich dish that ticked every box for bone support.

A Nutritionists analysis of the new dietary guidelines released in the US.

While I may not agree with some broader policies of the current administration, my professional focus is nutrition. The newly released healthy eating guidelines fall directly within my area of expertise, so my comments relate solely to the scientific and practical aspects of those recommendations. My role is to evaluate how these guidelines align with current evidence and how they may impact public health.

Overall, I find these guidelines a step in the right direction for a country with historically high rates of obesity and diet‑related chronic health problems. The main area I would question is the approach to wholegrains — but that’s something that can be addressed through clear, individual‑level education. It will be interesting to see how (or if) these changes influence national health statistics over the coming years.

With quick fixes everywhere, why choose the path of more resistance? 💭✨

Because that’s where real transformation happens.

Just look at Liz — she lost over 7 stone without relying on “cheat codes.” 💪🔥 She did it through consistency, mindset work, and understanding the deeper reasons behind her weight gain. And that’s why her results stuck.

Quick fixes might offer fast results, but they rarely offer lasting ones. Many people using weight‑loss injections struggle to maintain progress once they stop treatment. Without deeper behavioural change, old habits creep back in. ⏳

Long‑term change is different:
• It shifts your mindset 🧠
• It lowers the chance of relapse 🔄
• It gives you a sense of achievement nothing quick can match 🌟

Think about the moments you’re most proud of — the long hike, the competition you trained months for, the career milestone you worked years toward. None of those came easy. Sustainable weight loss is no different. It takes commitment, reflection, and patience… but the payoff is worth it. 🌱💚

If this resonates and you feel ready to start your own journey, I currently have a few online spaces available. Reach out when you’re ready to take that next step. 🤝✨

I’ve been reflecting on the January lifestyle content tsunami that hits every year 🌊
Now, with another year of experience working with nutrition clients, I’ve noticed two themes that come up again and again.

1️⃣ Overdoing habit change
Setting too many goals, too fast — especially in the coldest, darkest month of the year — often leads to giving up just a few weeks later. Smaller habit changes built gradually are far more effective. I usually say 3 months is a realistic window for creating lasting change 🌱

2️⃣ Rushing into goals without thinking them through
Take a step back. Look honestly at the time required and how it fits into your unique lifestyle. Ask yourself what can be adjusted and what is non‑negotiable. Then plan from there 🧩

And above all: consistency and sustainability beat speed every single time.

I’ve also noticed a shift this year — a lot of people who tried weight‑loss jabs are now reaching out again after regaining weight or experiencing side effects. Many are realising there are other approaches that support both mind and body more than a quick fix 💛

I’ll be announcing some new services in the coming weeks and taking on a limited number of 1‑2‑1 nutrition and lifestyle change clients.

Wishing everyone a happy New Year in advance — and I hope you’re not feeling overwhelmed by the January lifestyle spam 🎉

A Big Thank You & Happy New Year! 🎉

As 2024 comes to a close, I want to take a moment to express my heartfelt thanks to all my clients, past and present, for your trust and commitment. It’s been an amazing year at 6Elements Nutrition!

This year, I had the privilege of working with a wide range of clients, all with different life stories and goals. I was proud to work on health improvement projects with organisations such as Chest Heart & Stroke, Ashes to Gold, and Northern Trust. Every journey was inspiring, and every client was equally valued.

Together, we’ve achieved some incredible results — from life-changing weight loss to building long-term, sustainable eating and lifestyle habits. I’m also incredibly proud to have supported an Irish Super Bantamweight Champion in achieving his nutrition goals. 🥊

Looking ahead to 2026, I’m excited for what’s to come: new qualifications, a stronger focus on my own goals — including my first-ever marathon relay and competing at the Empire BJJ tournament in March will see me drop down a weight category again which will be positively challenging! Another continued push at the BJA to get the sports goggles approved for Level 4 competitions which i had worked my way up to and help pave the way for any future Judo athletes working around Vision Impairment — and, most importantly, becoming a daddy! 👶
More regular content is planned for 2026, with an even greater focus on providing the best possible service after a quieter period due to a house move and the endless DIY that followed.

Wishing everyone a happy, healthy, and successful New Year. Thank you again for being part of the journey — I can’t wait to see what 2026 brings!

What a Lifestyle transformation from — a long‑term client since June 2024 and an absolute legend.

She decided enough was enough after struggling with diet and lifestyle for many years. Liz made the choice to unlearn bad habits, overcome emotional eating behaviours, and relearn how to love exercise, healthy food, and prioritizing health.

7 stone / 40+ kg weight loss

From limited mobility to walking over 70K steps a week and attending 2–3 HIIT classes.

While weight loss drugs may seem like the easy option, Liz chose the path of long‑term change rather than biological quick fixes with no proven lasting efficacy.

Liz had an unbelievable attitude the whole way through, with eyes firmly on the goal. I have no doubt she will remain as committed in her future as she has been over the past year.

Currently designing my new intake for 2026 — more details to be released soon!

Winter wellbeing chat ❄️🥦

Loved having a chat on Saturday about Winter wellbeing and how to keep your nutrition (and motivation!) on track as the darker evenings roll in. 🌙

Let’s be honest — winter can make it that bit harder to eat well and stay active. Between the cold weather, comfort food cravings and low energy, it’s easy to fall off routine.

We chatted about simple, realistic ways to keep things balanced — from quick meal ideas to little mindset shifts that make all the difference.

Twas great to see a past client pop in too and share how she’s kept her progress going since finishing her programme with me 💪

If I had to give one top tip for winter health, it’s this 👉 plan ahead.
Meal prep, cook in bulk, and build an exercise routine that actually fits your lifestyle. Nail those two things, and you’ll glide through winter feeling your best! ✨

💬 Sometimes the hardest part is simply starting. Mark came to me with no exercise routine in place and only a basic understanding of weight loss—but like many, he struggled to maintain progress long-term. After years of neglecting his diet and health, we made a plan to begin his journey with clarity and compassion.

Once Mark committed, he took off—losing over 23kg (just under 4 stone) in just a few months. 🚀 Together, we navigated old triggers, built new habits, and focused on sustainable change. He introduced regular walking 🚶‍♂️ and started going to the gym 🏋️‍♂️, gradually building a routine that worked for his lifestyle.

Now, Mark continues his journey with the tools, strategies, and systems in place to reach his target weight—and more importantly, to maintain it. 🛠️📈

This is what empowered change looks like. Well done, Mark! 👏🔥

Winter isn’t a setback — it’s a test of discipline. Dark mornings, cold nights, and a never-ending to-do list can drain your energy and derail your habits. But this is where smart routines win. Fuel with purpose. Move with intent. Stay sharp when the days get darker — because your metabolism, mood, and mindset depend on it. Let’s make winter a season of strength. 🥘💪

The dark nights, cold weather, and the feeling that there aren’t enough hours in the day to tackle your usual to-do list can take a toll. Add in more colds, flu, and lower energy levels, and it becomes even harder to stay on track. That’s why it’s essential to pay extra attention to your habits — especially your diet and lifestyle — to navigate the season with strength and resilience.
