Here are my top tips if I had to start my skin journey all over again:

Tip 1: Change my Focus from Restriction to StructuređŸ§±

- Long-term/severe food restriction will impact your microbiome diversity/abundance. Studies clearly show that dysbiosis & acne are very good friends.
- To help improve structure when it comes to meals, I’d meal prep. You don’t need to overhaul and meal prep every meal overnight. Simply meal prepping your breakfasts for the week when you typically skip breakfast rushing out the door will make a huge difference
trust me.
- Build ‘anchors’ not rules. Anchors are a few nutritional points you hit in a day. So I would focus on a source of protein with every meal. Get at least three colours in my foods, and aim to cook at least 1-2 meals that day from scratch.

Tip 2: I’d Retest (not guess)đŸ§Ș

- Gut and hormonal testing was essential to help me pinpoint my imbalances. I had years of antibiotic use, this had a catastrophic impact on my gut, but knowing exactly how it was impacted helped me to understand that it wasn’t anything I was ‘doing’ that was the problem. It was that I lacked the tools and knowledge to work out what my specific root cause/drivers were.
- Testing can help make the plan more personalised to your drivers, especially if you have a history of other health conditions, whether that be hormonal/gut/nervous system based.

Tip 3: Support Blood Sugar📈

- Make time for breakfast. Even if it’s not a beautifully curated Instagram recipe - just get something in you that contains protein and healthy fats. A high protein yoghurt bowl topped with nuts/seeds/almond butter & a hand full of berries thrown onto is perfect, requires no chopping/cooking/prepping and can be made in two minutes.
- I’d try to reduce or eliminate grazing altogether. Every time we eat our blood sugar naturally spikes (as part of digestion/nutrient absorption) so if you’re eating 3 meals plus 2 x snacks that’s going to send your blood sugar up & down all day.
How to do that:
- make time for breakfast and include a source of healthy fat & protein.
- Switch from white to brown carbs and pair your carbs with a protein source.

If you do absolutely nothing else this year, focusing on home cooking even if it’s just a little more often will improve your health in more ways than I can count.

There’s a lot of talk around UPFs at the moment, “they aren’t all ‘bad’, some are actually good for you”, or you’ve received the messaging of “don’t put a single piece of food in your mouth that’s been processed or you’ll become chronically ill”.

Firstly that would be impossible given the way we manufacture food, secondly the noise and conflicting advice can cloud us from the real message.

Eat more plants. Cook from scratch even if it’s not ‘perfect’ and even if you can’t do it every single night.

I’m sure you’ve read a million times that batch cooking is a game changer and I hate to say the same ‘ol thing but it is.

If you prefer to cook from fresh every night - power to you! But prepping a big bowl of roasted veg or a roasted chicken or a few boiled eggs to throw into your lunches or dinners throughout the week can make home cooking so much easier.

Something I do is make double, to save myself cooking another meal later in the week. Stews, soups, casseroles etc are ideal meals to freeze this season and are just as tasty to eat.

Home cooking simply means that you’ll have more control and knowledge over what’s on your plate, you’ll take a more vested interest in what you eat, and you’ll feel like you’re taking actionable steps to support your health both inside and out.

This WHOLE thing started because I struggled with my skin for over a decade.

I had tried absolutely everything, and for me, seeing a nutritionist was the last resort.

That decision led me down a path of self discovery, healing and now I’m passing it onto others who struggle.

Skin is just the tip, usually there’s an imbalance in hormones, gut health, detox capacity, lifestyle
and improving those areas tends to have a knock on effect that might initially start with skin healing but it can also lead to so much more.

It hugely helped improve my relationship with food.

How I viewed my health long term.

And it undoubtedly improved my self esteem and confidence. Partly due to my skin but actually a large part of it was feeling empowered when it came to my health and proud that I was working on it and feeling changes.

It is now my job to help others struggling with their skin and their relationship with food, as we can receive messaging that restriction is needed in order to see any long-term skin improvement.

Restriction for restriction’s sake isn’t useful nor effective.

Personalisation really is the 🔑

I spent four hours on these and although they were fun to make
they weren’t my best work!

Thought I’d pop them on here because I’ve been a little MIA, just enjoying the lead up to Christmas.

Hope everyone’s having a lovely time! Merry Christmas everyone 🎄
