Fitness in Mind Open Day 💪🍎♥️

I had a great time today at Open Day and birthday celebrations. I had my first ever stall for with a brand new roller banner and free healthy but yummy treats:

* protein balls - great for preworkout fueling

* granola '- higher in protein and fibre and lower in sugar than shop bought versions

* delicious colourful berries (very popular with the kids!)

It was great to chat to members and other local visitors, hear feedback from my workshops I've done at the gym and share tips and tricks for fueling your workouts and healthy protein rich breakfasts.

It wad also lovely to be next to the lovely Cathryn from and her colourful spine!

I was encouraging people to sign up for my mailing list to received monthly newsletters and hear about upcoming events and workshops. For those who couldn't come along, you can sign up with the link in my bio. You get a free chocolate newsletter if you do!

Thanks to for inviting me and for offering such a holistic and balanced (and friendly) approach to training. Looking forward to working with and alongside you more with positive balanced nutrition support.

Self care & nurture 🫂🧘‍♂️

Today's self care was actually unexpected acts of nurture from a lovely friend, who:

* Fed me homemade vegetable and lemonbalm soup when I was stressed (in a Big Love mug ♥️)

* Took me and Ruby on a woodland walk 🌳🐕

* Cooked me marinated and spiced beef and vegetables 🥗👌

* Nerded out on nutrition, blood test analysis and supplements with me (fellow NT) 🤓🧪

* Lent me a book on genetics (and one to read to soothe my nervous system) 📚🧬

* Gave me a hug and helped me reverse my car (always stressful!) 🫂

I have realised how hard I find it to ask for and accept help or nurture (Why is this? Is this a woman or a Mum thing?! Does this resonate with you?!!). But today it felt like such a gift to be looked after for a few hours.

So happy to be joining the wonderful Equilibrio team in Spain in less than two weeks!

Looking forward to delicious and nourishing food - and sharing my knowledge about how nutrition can support your body physically and emotionally. We will be cooking and sharing a healthy tasty meal together (including chocolate!).

Really looking forward to being there again and meeting everyone on the retreat

More red lentils rolls.... ❤️

Only posting more because am totally loving getting photos from lovely followers who have already tried my red lentil rolls! 👏🤸‍♀️

I've been inspired to make another batch (may have already eaten the last ones! 🙈). The top photo is me playing with the shapes... including a flatbread my son almost snaffled staight from the oven, and bagel shaped buns which greatly disappointed my daughter who thought I'd made doughnuts! You win some, you lose some! 😂

Keep sharing photos - it makes my day! 😊

Red Lentil Rolls ❤️

I've seen many recipes for wraps, rolls ans bagels made from red lentils and remained a bit skeptical.... until I finally got round to making these.

And they are really quite delicious. 🥳 Soft and fluffy, yet protein rich, gluten free and full of fibre. What's not to love?!?

I made 8 buns with this recipe. Each is roughly the same calorie wise as a bread roll (150kcal), but higher in protein (8.5g) and fibre (10g), and much lower in carbs (16g). They are best warm - from the oven, toasted or reheated.

⭐️ Recipe ⭐️

270g red lentils, soaked overnight in cold water
45g psyllium husk
2 tsp baking powder
2 tsp apple cider vinegar
2 tbsp olive oil
1tsp salt
90g water

Sunflower (or other) seeds for topping

⭐️ Method ⭐️

* Drain and rinse soaked red lentils

* Add to a blender with all other ingredients except seeds

* Blend until smooth and allow to sit for 5 mins

* Using a tablespoon, scoop mixture into 8 rolls on a baling tray lined with greaseproof paper. Shape into rolls with wet hands.

* Sprinkle seeds onto top and gently press down.

* Bake in a preheated oven at 180C for 25 mins

* Cool on a rack or enjoy warm with melted butter!

I ate these as above, as a bread roll with a picky plate with tuna and eggs, with poached eggs and homemade baked beans, and alongside scrambled eggs with bacon and mushroom. 😋🍳🪺

A delicious and a nice healthy twist on a sandwich / bready lunch. 👌🍞

Embracing imperfection... 🙏

Oh perfectionism... such a pain in the butt! I've come to realise it's the source of many of my problems - in life and in work. I hide away from doing lots of things because I can't do them as well as I want to and I get overwhelmed by my need for perfection. 🤦‍♀️

This is why my socials have ground to a halt, why my website is still not done and why I haven't yet managed to write a monthly newsletter. 🙈

It's partly the doing, and partly the 'why would anyone want to read it anyway' because I don't have the insta perfect photos, body and life. Plus I eat chocolate when I'm stressed, feed my kids take away and chicken nuggets when they won't eat my food and yearn for that Friday night gin! 😉

But then I remembersome things I can do, if not perfectly, then well..

⭐️ I always eat a protein rich breakfast

⭐️ I get to the gym whenever life allows (less at the moment but I work hard when I'm there)

⭐️ I manage to top and tail each day with quality connection with my complex kids- even if just for a few minutes

⭐️ I get outside daily with my unconditionally loving dog

⭐️ I help busy and overwhelmed women like myself to prioritise themselves, even just a little, and improve their nutrition amongst the chaos of life

And I'm also able to work on challenges when I need to, e.g. my daughter's hair.

She has a cheerleading competition next week and this is a whole new world to us. On Friday I discovered she needed 2 Dutch plaits. Cue panic mode! 😫 But instead I found a video on youtube and, many attempts and a G'n'T later, we managed the plaits. I say we because the only way I managed it was with Isla shouting 'under' every move as my brain struggled to not do a normal (over) plait! It wasn't perfect, but it was recognisable - and she was delighted! 🤸‍♀️

I practised again this morning - amongst cooking 3 different breakfasts, having 2 teens refusing to get out of bed and 1 dog desperate to eat all the breakfasts. Just a single DUTCH plait. Imperfect but done. 👏

So I'm trying very hard now to use that approach (without the gin) for my social media and marketing. Embracing the imperfection... 🙏

Happy Monday everyone x

❤️ Happy World Menopause Day 2024! ❤️

18th October 2024 is World Menopause Day, so I'm posting about ways I support women transitioning through the menopause.

I'm passionate about empowering women to understand what is happening in their bodies during perimenopause and after the menopause. I help them to amass a toolkit of nutrition, lifestyle and proven complementary therapies to alleviate their symptoms and support their body in reacclimatising to a new hormonal environment. And I provide information and signposting to other services, therapists and conventional medical approaches that may help.

But above all, I want women to experience this information in a positive way - to counter so much of the negativity out there about the horrors of the menopause.

There is so much you can do to help you and so many options for support so you don't have to struggle alone.

I help women:

⭐ 1:1 in my clinic or at the Wellbeing Rooms

⭐ In small informal workshops for groups of friends

⭐ In community courses, such as 'Navigating the Menopause' in Stretford, Manchester (* running again in November!)

⭐ In corporate wellness training - for organisations, large or small. All should have a menopause policy and menopause training can help employers to support their female workforce

⭐ On social media - with recipes, tips and information on hormones!

Menopause happens to 50% of the population and it doesn't have to awful! And I'm happy to do my part to help women to experience a happier and healthier menopause.

Contact me if you'd like to find out more about any of the ways I could support you or women in your life. 😊

Sunday meal prep 🥕🍠🫑

Meal prepping for the week or at least a few days is a great hack for healthy eating. Whether that's batch cooking casseroles or sauces, roasting veg or roasting extra meat for lunches - it all helps you to get ahead and be able to grab quick and healthy food, instead of reaching for a takeaway.

It's often hard to fit into life though and I always say to my clients to grab the moment when motivation and time allow!

This happened to me today - on the least expected day when I was solo parenting and coping with kids getting locked on bedrooms, falling off bikes and making fires in homemade pizza ovens (a story for another day!).

I made:

1. Chicken and vegetable casserole - slow cooked chicken thighs and selection of root veg, leeks and sprouts. My ultimate comfort food with extra collagen in the broth from the bones.

2. Roasted veg - again, everything I could find in the bottom of the fridge. This will last for 3-4 days and will go with salads, dinners, even breakfasts. Roasting is the very best way to eat Brussels sprouts!
(I also show a photo of the prettiest beetroot and purple radishes from my veg box last week 💜)

3. Rice pudding for my boys - not the healthiest but lower in sugar than bought varieties and I added lots of spices. The dairy milk is rich in iodine and calcium for their growing brains and bones.

4. Life changing bread! A delicious gluten free, heavily seeded bread, with flax and psyllium husk for a probiotic boost for gut bugs. Not sure it's changed my life but it's changed my lunches. And it does make me happy!

5. Butternut squash- not the most photogenic but I had half a squash in the fridge so roasted it whole and will blend into tomato sauces to sweeten and add more fibre and antioxidants.

The prep was minimal with a newly sharpened knife and it maximised the energy used to have the oven on. The oven then did most of the work while I juggled kids and played with my dog in the garden!

What could you prep ahead of time to make this week's dinners easier for you?

Autumn family dinner... Sausage and Lentil Casserole 🍁🥣🍴

It felt decidedly chilly today so definitely a day for warm comfort food. Most clients I see need quick and easy, healthy meals, that work for their families and ideally can be batch cooked. This ticks all these boxes. ✅️

I'm not really a fan of sausages but my family love them. I buy the highest quality ones I can find with a high meat percentage. Here they are combined with lentils and veg, providing fibre for our gut bugs and extra nutrients.

⏰️ It took about 30 mins to make and was adapted to my family's needs - my kids prefer Lincolnshire sausages because they aren't peppery, I prefer chicken sausages and I love lentils. And I extracted the sausages from most of the Casserole for my fussy child 🤦‍♀️- but at least we all ate the same meal!

⭐️ Recipe ⭐️

(served 5 with leftovers for another day)

Sausages (allowing 2-3 per person depending on size)
1 small onion
2 cloves garlic
2 carrots (thinly sliced)
1 tbsp tomato puree
1/2 stock cube (or use ready made stock/bone broth)
400g tin of lentils (I used green lentils)
Fresh and/or dried herbs (I used dried thyme and fennel seeds and a couple of springs of rosemary)

⭐️ Method ⭐️

* Oven cook the sausages until fully cooked (according to the packet)

* Meanwhile fry the onion and garlic in a little olive oil. Add the carrots, dried herbs and tomato puree for the last minute of cooking.

* Add the stock cube, the drained lentils and enough water to cover the veg. Simmer for 5 mins.

* Add the cooked sausages and fresh herbs and cook for a further 5-8 mins until the carrots are cooked, topping up the water if needed to desired consistency.

* Serve with mash and green veg.

This would also be great with red peppers and/or butternut squash instead of the carrots. Swede and carrot mash or cauliflower mash would be a good low carb alternative to potato.

Let me know if you try it!

Myth busting 🤩

'Nutritional Therapy is just for weight loss or food intolerances' 🍞🍩

Wrong! Nutritional therapy is for so much more….

It’s about using food and nutrition (and also lifestyle changes) to improve your health. 💪🤩

Like many nutritional therapists, I use a functional medicine approach, so seeking the root cause of your symptoms. I then target these pathways with personalised dietary changes, key nutrients and lifestyle tweaks to help correct imbalances and reduce your symptoms.

I specialise in women’s health – so a lot of my clients come to me with hormone imbalances that contribute to:

⭐ problem periods
⭐ fibroids
⭐ PCOS
⭐ endometriosis
⭐ problems conceiving
⭐ pregnancy loss
⭐ menopausal symptoms
⭐ and more…

I work with them to investigate what the underlying causes are and personalised ways to work on these. I love using testing (*remember – science geek!) including hormone, nutrient and genetics. I help with their stress levels, inflammation, gut and vaginal microbiomes and provide tailored nutrient plans to support their unique genetic makeup. 🧬🔬

Most women work with me for 3 or 5 sessions and over this time, I guide them through diet changes, explain what could be going on in their bodies, and support them emotionally (and with delicious recipes!). 🍉🥑🥕

Nearly everyone I’ve worked with has seen improvements – sometimes this is in more regular periods or less crippling PMS, sometimes more energy and better mood, sometimes with a healthy pregnancy…. But everyone has moved along positively in their journey. 🤸😊

❤️ If you, or someone you know, are experiencing any of these issues – please know that nutritional therapy can be a game changer – whether that is with me or another Registered Nutritional Therapist. ❤️

**PS – I do also help women with weight loss and food intolerances (but these often are caused by hormone/microbiome imbalances!) 🤣

Why I became a Nutritional Therapist... 😊

September feels a good time for new starts, so I'm gearing up to reengage with social media again and wanted to start with a post about my new start (in my late 40s!) as I took a career change into the world of nutrition. 🍎

I spent all my adult life working in academia - I did a PhD on hormones and the menstrual cycle, then worked as a Lecturer and doing medical research into women's health, fertility and pregnancy. 🧬🧪 I loved this area - it's so important - and I loved the science, teaching and inspiring students and working towards helping women to have good reproductive health, and to have healthy pregnancies.

But research is very slow burn and I watched the clinicians, including my husband, work daily with patients, making real life changing differences to women.... e.g. helping them take home a healthy baby after loss. 🌈And I have always been driven by a real NEED to help people.

It took many years for me to brave up and make the decision to leave and retrain. I'd done a couple of nutrition courses and my research in Manchester was on nutrition and pregnancy.

✍I retrained for 3 years at ION in London - immediately loved the studying, loved the concept of functional medicine where you seek underlying root causes of ill-health and geeked out on the latest nutrition knowledge.😍

😊 So here I am, 3 years later, having set up my own busy Women's Health Nutrition clinic. I see clients in consultations, run educational programmes on hormonal health, am co-Director of The Wellbeing Rooms in Manchester and have active collaborations with other therapists and gyms.

❤️ I love my job and the way I can bring my expertise in women's health and nutrition together.

❤️ I love the flexibility, the tangible ways I make a difference to peoples lives and have always loved food - and I get to read and think about it all the time!

Beans & gut love ❤️

Summer holidays disrupts work and social media and also self care! When feeding your growing and ever ravenous kids becomes almost a full time job, it's hard to focus on your own food. Even when you're a nutritionist!

But this week a wonderful holiday club provided me with some breathing space and I managed to squeeze in some actual work. Loved getting back to nutritional therapy and using my brain again.

A few of my new clients have come for gut health support and it made me realise I've been neglecting my own. So I cooked up a batch of some spicy beans and had them for my dinner and lunch.

Super quick and easy - and so much better for you that baked beans from a tin.

I had them with some chicken sausages and brocoli yesterday and today with some fried eggs and salad with leftover roast veg.

Recipe:

1 small onion
2 cloves garlic
Sprinkle of cumin seeds or ground cumin
2 tsp smoked paprika
Pinch of chilli flakes (optional)
Drained can (400g) cannellini beans (or sub for butter beans)
400g tinned tomatoes
2 tsp balsamic vinegar
1/2 stock cube
Handful of spinach

Method:

Gently fry finely chopped onion and garlic in a generous glug of olive oil.

Once softened, add the spices and cook for 1 minute

Add the beans, tomatoes, stock cube and vinegar and cook for 5 mins adding a splash of water if it dries out. (*I like to cook for longer (10-15 mins) to make the sauce richer but it's cooked at this point!)

Add spinach or kale leaves ans cook for 1-2 mins until wilted.

Serve with some green veg or salad and ideally a protein rich food (halloumi or feta would work so well!)
