Conference time! πŸ€“πŸ“πŸ‘¨β€πŸŽ“

Super excited to be heading down to London tomorrow for a day of lectures all about Metabolic Resilience. ☺️

Helping people optimise their metabolism is quite a big part of my job, even those who don't come to me with a primary goal of weight loss often have it as a secondary goal.

🍎 There have been massive changes in weight loss philosophy recently, with greater understanding that the overly simplistic 'calories in calories out' model doesn't work (who knew?!). Instead there is better understanding of working with our physiology and supporting our metabolism, for healthy weight loss / weight maintenance- without restrictive diets or denial.

πŸ’‰And now the landscape is changing even faster, with increasingly widespread use of the weight loss jabs, which hijack natural appetite regulation systems to drive rapid weight loss. Too good to be true??

🀒 Yes probably... they carry with them a raft of frequent side effects - but that's a post for another day.

But they are probably here to stay so this conference focuses on the latest science in supporting metabolic health in a world where clients will invariably want the magic bullet of weight loss jabs.

Cant wait to learn more and spend a day geeking out on science! πŸ€“πŸ‘Œ

Apples 🍎 πŸπŸ‚πŸŒ³

I've escaped from nursing my family and their collection of bugs (even the dog is poorly πŸ™ˆ) to spend some time outside.

We still have apples on the trees and storm Amy did a good job helping me harvest them!

Apples are my favourite fruit to eat and recommend once summer turns to autumn and berry season is over.


🍏 They are relatively low in sugar and high in fibre so they are a great part of a blood sugar balancing diet.

🍎 Their fibre makes them fantastic for the gut too - a great source of fuel for our nicrobiome and fabulous for helping resolve constipation.

πŸ’ͺ They are also rich in nutrients including vitamin C for fighting those back to school bugs and polyphenols like quercetin which is a natural antihistamine.

⭐️ Best ways to eat them:

* Straight from the tree (I couldn't resist!)

* Chopped or grated in overnight oats or porridge

* Stewed with cinnamon (seriously the best natural constipation relief)

* In crumbles or oaty snack bars

* Sliced with peanut butter

⭐️ Tips:

1. Eating the skin boasts the fibre content

2. Red apples are higher in quercetin so better for antihistamine actions

3. Try cooking with eating apples so you don't need to add extra sugar. Adding cinnamon enhances the sweetness without adding sugar

Autumn days 🍁πŸ₯¬πŸ₯•πŸ₯”

I must admit I'm not very excited about it being autumn, mainly because the temperature has plummeted and its rainy on the school run πŸ₯ΆπŸŒ¨

But I am loving being able to harvest and eat some lovely veg from our garden. It's been massively neglected and over run with weeds, but nature has battled through and we have runner beans, squash, rainbow chard, courgettes and some surprise potatoes ready to eat. And the weeding has been my preferred therapeutic activity in the past few weeks.

This was our Sunday dinner - I rarely cook one but the veg inspired me. The lamb (obvs), beetroot, onions and carrot were not from our garden (those veg were from my veg box), but everything else was.

Roast lamb with anchovies, garlic and rosemary

Roast surprise potatoes (self seeded, discovered during weeding!)

Roasted courgettes & mini pumpkin wedges

Roasted beetroot, carrot and onion (new favourite mix)

Rainbow chard fried in butter with garlic and a squeeze of lemon

Roasted and mashed 'Mashed potato squash' - with butter, salt and pepper

Ubiquitous runner beans - steamed!

I think that was everything. It was delicious and did 2 meals (largely because my kids refused all of the veg πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ). But Alex and I enjoyed it!

Back to it!! πŸ’ͺ

It's been a long long summer but the kids are finally back in school!

Like many trapped in school years, September feels more like the start of the year more than January! Time to get back on it!

So, with 3 kids dispatched safely to school (one on his birthday πŸŽ‚!), I dragged myself back to the gym (it was great, if hard πŸ‹β€β™€οΈ) and then enjoyed a protein rich breakfast and coffee in the morning sunshine - ON MY OWN!! (Well, with just a greedy labrador for company).

Now off to open my computer and launch back into work again. Lots of exciting plans ahead for the autumn and some lovely new clients to support πŸ₯‘πŸ₯˜πŸ₯πŸ€Έβ€β™€οΈ

Hope you all find some time for you again and enjoy the week ahead. X

The ideal camping breakfast?? πŸ₯žπŸ“πŸ«πŸ§€

We have what we call crepes (really a version of a Galette) most days at home.

My kids have them for breakfast, I often have them for lunch. They are quick and easy, gluten free, protein rich, higher in fibre than normal pancakes and can be sweet (for my kids) or savoury (for me!).

I've never made them on holiday before but have discovered they are perfect for this. They mix up really easily because they are gluten free, you never get lumps in the batter. They cook in minutes so don't use too much gas.

You just need a frying pan and some fillings: sugar, lemon, berries, peanut butter, Nutella (don't judge, we are on holiday!), cheese, ham, rocket, smoked salmon, eggs etc).

Recipe

150g Buckwheat flour
2 eggs
300 ml milk
1-2 tbsp ground flax seed

* Put the flour a bowl and break in the eggs

* Whisk with a fork until the eggs are mixed in. Add about 50-100ml of the milk and stir until it makes a thick smooth batter

* Add the rest of the milk and stir until smooth.

* Stir in the flaxseed and leave the mixture to settle for 5 mins

* Add water until you get the consistency of double cream

* Melt a blob of butter in a good frying pan (non stick is best) over a high heat

* Pour in enough mixture to coat the bottom of the pan whilst swirling it.

* Cook until the edges brown (around 1-2 mins). Flip over using a spatula and cook for another minute.

* Fill with sweet or savoury fillings and roll or fold.

No two crepes come out the same! If the pan is very hot, they are lacey with bubbles and go more crispy (how I like them), but the first one is usually more like a crepe without holes and less crispy (how my son loves them). Play around with it and see what you like best.

Photos are from camping and from home, showing the versatility and how we enjoy them!

Fitness in Mind Open Day πŸ’ͺ🍎β™₯️

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 πŸ«‚πŸ§˜β€β™‚οΈ

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 β™₯️)

* Took me and Ruby on a woodland walk πŸŒ³πŸ•

* Cooked me marinated and spiced beef and vegetables πŸ₯—πŸ‘Œ

* Nerded out on nutrition, blood test analysis and supplements with me (fellow NT) πŸ€“πŸ§ͺ

* Lent me a book on genetics (and one to read to soothe my nervous system) πŸ“šπŸ§¬

* Gave me a hug and helped me reverse my car (always stressful!) πŸ«‚

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.

More red lentils rolls.... ❀️

Only posting more because am totally loving getting photos from lovely followers who have already tried my red lentil rolls! πŸ‘πŸ€Έβ€β™€οΈ

I've been inspired to make another batch (may have already eaten the last ones! πŸ™ˆ). 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! πŸ˜‚

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. πŸ₯³ 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. πŸ˜‹πŸ³πŸͺΊ

A delicious and a nice healthy twist on a sandwich / bready lunch. πŸ‘ŒπŸž

Embracing imperfection... πŸ™

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. πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ

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. πŸ™ˆ

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! πŸ˜‰

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! πŸ€Έβ€β™€οΈ

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. πŸ‘

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

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. 😊
