Quick and easy high-fibre, high-protein gut-supportive salad.🥗

This is so quick and easy if you pre-cook the sweet potatoes.

If you aim for around 30g fibre per day, a simple way to think about it is roughly 10 g per meal. This bowl shows how easy that can be using whole foods.

Approximate ingredients for one serving:
½ cup cooked green lentils (I used tinned)
¾ cup cooked quinoa (I used Merchant Gourmet cooked)
½ small roasted sweet potato (with skin), chopped
1–2 tablespoons kimchi
A small handful lettuce (or rocket, watercress etc)

For protein: About 120–140 g crayfish (this provides roughly 30 g protein) or use other protein like prawns (a bit higher in protein), chicken, sardines, tofu.

Dressing: 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
A squeeze of fresh lemon
Sea salt and black pepper

Method
Roast the sweet potato until soft. Cool and refrigerate for later. Add the quinoa, lentils, sweet potato, lettuce and kimchi to a bowl. Top with the crayfish or protein of your choice. Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil, squeeze over lemon, and season with salt and pepper. Toss gently.

This bowl provides roughly:
around 10–12 g fibre and 30g protein.

A simple example of how a meal can support gut health through whole foods, fibre diversity and balanced protein. As always, digestion is not just about food.

Have you noticed your digestion is worse when you’re busy or stressed?

Digestion works best when the body feels safe and relaxed.

If you eat while stressed, rushed, or distracted, your body is more likely to stay in “fight or flight” mode. In that state, digestion is not the priority.

One simple thing that can help is extending your exhale.

A slightly longer out-breath can encourage the nervous system to shift towards a calmer, “rest and digest” state and stimulate the vagus nerve.

Try taking a few slow breaths like this before you start eating.

Small habits can make a real difference to how your gut feels over time.

I combine nutritional therapy and hypnotherapy to support people with IBS and digestive issues, because gut health is not just about food. The nervous system matters too.

Supporting your gut health doesn’t always require complicated diets, supplements or cutting out more foods.

Sometimes the most powerful shifts for digestion are the simple things we do every day.

Here are 5 free things you can try today to support your gut and digestion:
1. Morning daylight
Getting outside in the morning helps regulate your body clock, which influences hormones, stress levels and digestion.
2. Chew your food more slowly
Digestion starts in the mouth. Slowing down and chewing properly helps your gut do its job more easily.
3. Gentle movement
A short walk after meals can stimulate digestion and help reduce bloating.
4. Relax before you eat
Even a few slow breaths before a meal can help shift your body out of stress mode so your gut can digest properly.
5. Eat without distractions
Scrolling, emails and news keep the nervous system alert. Giving your meal a few minutes of attention helps your brain and gut communicate properly.

In my work combining nutrition and gut-focused hypnosis for IBS and digestive issues, these simple foundations often make a bigger difference than people expect.

Which one are you going to try today?

If you’re bloated at the end of the day… this is for you.

If you regularly look down at your stomach in the evening and think,
“Why am I so bloated?” -this might explain it.

Many people assume that if they feel bloated by the end of the day, it must be something they ate.

Sometimes that’s true.

But often, the way we move through the day plays a big role in how our gut feels by the evening.

Think about how your day usually looks.

Rushing breakfast.
Eating lunch at your desk.
Talking while chewing.
Drinking quickly between tasks.
Long periods without food.
Holding your stomach in without realising.
Shoulders tense and breathing shallow.

All of this can affect digestion.

We tend to swallow more air when we eat quickly or while talking, which can contribute to bloating.

We also hold tension in the abdomen when we’re stressed or concentrating. Over time that tension can change how the digestive system feels and functions. Just being sat down for long periods compresses the digestive tract.

By the end of the day, your gut has been working in that environment for hours.

Sometimes the answer isn’t another food rule.

It’s slowing things down slightly.

Try a few simple shifts:

• Sit down properly when you eat
• Chew a little more slowly
• Take a few calm breaths before meals
• Let your abdomen soften rather than holding it in
• Take a short walk after eating

Nutrition matters for gut health.

But so does how safe and relaxed your body feels while digesting.

This LITTLE thing 🙌🏻can make a huge difference to your digestion, mood and energy…your posture.

When we’re slumped or hunched, the muscles send a message to the brain that we are feeling vulnerable or low. This can have a bi-directional effect and produce a stress response which can affect digestion. Digestion is also reduced by the body being physically hunched over, compressing the digestive tract. Plus this posture can negatively affect mood and confidence. So top tip for your digestion and mood today - try to sit up straight and take frequent breaks from sitting. 😊
Do you need reminding to sit with good posture? I do!

Diets that are restrictive cause stress in the body. The restriction itself can cultivate feelings of judgement and self criticism- maintaining that stress response in body and mind. Our bodies feel unsafe. We are in fight or flight and your metabolism will not feel safe enough to lose any body weight, slowing down basal metabolic rate.

Restrictive diets backfire on a physiological level and so this affects us mentally. We feel fed up thinking, “What’s the point? I may as well just eat all that chocolate -nothing is working away!” This affects self esteem and self belief.

My approach? Let’s approach this realistically and with compassion. A holistic approach is slower yes, but results are sustainable and extend to all of your health and wellbeing. 😊

You can’t beat a traditional crepe style on Shrove Tuesday 😋. But I wanted to share with you a simple recipe that I created years ago for a delicious, nutritious American style pancake that’s really quick and easy to make.

There’s a few pics here if different ways to serve them including with yoghurt or cashew cream. They’re more dense than pancakes made of flour and are therefore more filling. Once you have the knack of making these you can whip them up really quickly with minimum washing up! My kind of cooking 😁. The recipe below is for my simple almond pancakes but if you want to add blueberries (or raspberries or blackberries) just pop a few berries into each batter, they may just need an extra minute or two to cook. If you don’t eat them all, you can store them in a cool place and gently warm them another time (up to 2 days). Also, tip from me, store your opened ground almonds in the fridge. Nuts go rancid very quickly.
I hope you enjoy them!

Simple Almond Pancakes
Makes 1 generous portion or 2 small portions.
2 large free range eggs
5-6 tablespoons ground almonds
A bowl, a fork, a spatula or fish slice for turning the pancakes, a ceramic non stick pan
A little coconut oil

Crack the eggs into a bowl and beat with the fork. Gradually add the ground almonds to the egg, mixing with the fork after each spoonful. You are aiming for a thick batter that plops off the spoon like thick cake mixture. If it is too stiff, loosen with a little drop of water.
Put a little dollop of coconut oil into the pan over a medium heat. Spoon four little pancakes (like scotch pancakes) into the pan. Add berries if using. Turn the heat to low and cook for about 3/4 minutes until the pancakes have firmed then gently turn them over and cook for another 4 minutes or so until firm. Enjoy topped simply with butter, maple syrup and cinnamon or something more exciting like yoghurt, fruit and honey. Enjoy!

3 small things I do 🙌🏻with my clients with IBS/digestive issues to help them get the results they want…

1. Support the worry and anxiety around your symptoms and what to eat.
2. Help your body to feel calm and safe so you can start to properly digest your food.
3. Support you in eating nutritious foods at regular times so the body is nourished and can function optimally.

Why eating well doesn’t always fix your digestion 🧐. Maybe you’ve been so careful with what you eat or you’ve tried the low fodmap diet for your IBS? It’s not your fault! The body needs to feel safe to digest food. If you’re struggling and tried it all, follow along here and let me show you how supporting the nervous system can help. 😊

Three things I now say differently to weight-management clients 🤍

•We don’t do calorie counting -focusing only on numbers often fuels restriction and food anxiety, and misses the bigger picture.
• We focus on nourishment, so the body can function optimally, in realistic and practical ways.
• We work on habits -building supportive ones and gently shifting less helpful ones, without pressure or perfection.

Weight management works best when people feel supported, not monitored or judged.

Save this if strict approaches have never worked for you.🙌🏻
