Running clinics in the NHS, I see firsthand the very real struggles people are facing with their health. More than ever, the conversation seems to circle around quick fixes, like weight loss injections. 😩 And while they may have their place for some, they’re most definitely not the whole answer.

There is no magic injection or quick fix that will do the deeper work for us. The real, lasting transformation I’ve witnessed, both in my clients and in my own life, comes from shifting habits, supporting our metabolic health, and most importantly, changing the way we think about our health. 🙌🏻

I’ve been there myself. I’ve changed my own health outcomes, and it didn’t come from obsessing over calories or following the “perfect” diet. It came from taking a holistic approach. And it’s definitely not easy, but it’s possible!

Yes, nutrition matters, but so does everything else we absorb, what we read, who we listen to, who we surround ourselves with, the conversations we engage in, and even the energy we allow into our lives. All of it shapes us. All of it feeds us.

Health isn’t just on the plate in front of us, it’s in the way we live, the thoughts we carry, the boundaries we hold, and the peace we protect.

That’s why I’m so passionate about this work. 🤍

Because when someone begins to see health differently, not as punishment or perfection, but as a journey of balance and empowerment, that’s when real transformation happens. ✨

And that’s what makes this work so rewarding ✨🤍

Do you feel like you’ve tried everything, the diets, the cleanses, running each day, the “quick fixes” and yet you still feel puffy, bloated, stuck in a body that doesn’t feel like you? 😫

You’re not alone.

Most women I work with (and me, once upon a time) feel exactly this way.

The truth? It’s not about being stricter or working harder. It’s about learning how to work with your body, not against it.

That’s exactly why I wrote my latest Substack post:
✨The Lazy Girl’s Guide to Balanced Meals real, no-fuss look at how to eat in a way that supports your hormones, gut, and energy without overcomplicating it. EVERYTHING has become so complicated!

Inside, I break down:
👉 Why balance matters more than “clean eating”
👉 The 3 lazy-girl meal formulas that always work
👉 How to stop the “all or nothing” cycle with food
👉 The shortcuts I use myself (and share with my clients) to make healthy eating sustainable.

And if you want to go one step further? 🌿
Inside my Mindful Living Kitchen, I send you a brand-new 7-day meal guide + recipes every month so you never have to stress about planning again. It’s literally done for you.

Because health isn’t about perfection, it’s about small, doable changes that make you feel like you again. 🤍

Spent the morning unwinding at the alternating between the sauna and cold water plunges.

It’s such a great way to feel reinvigorated and rejuvenated! There’s something amazing and healing about outdoor saunas and ice baths.

Happy Tuesday 🤍

Life can flip in a moment and lately, I’ve been riding the wave with my little fluffy companion all the way.

We’ve done a lot of walking.

There’s been change, joy, a few stumbles, great food, s**t food, occasional drink, a whole lot of reflection. I’ve started things, ended things, and started writing it all down. I’ve always written it down. I’ve always found that a useful tool.

Book incoming 📖

I’ve felt the pull back to routine to the version of me that feels best in my body and mind. Health and wellbeing are calling louder, and I’m listening. Because I need it. Celery juice I’ve missed you 😭

I’ve been thinking a lot about primary and secondary foods, something I learnt whilst studying, the food on our plates is only part of it. What’s feeding our soul, our peace, our joy… that matters just as much. If not more.

Gratitude and kindness is always the winner. ✨🙌🏻🤍

To those who showed up, thank you. To those who didn’t thank you too.

Every moment teaches. I’m here for it. ✍🏼

Over the last few months a few snippets 👉🏼

my new favourite place - unreal food.
- the best shakes around with the best energy.
holiday vibes in a can
keeping hydrated with a twist
people watching and amazing pizza
grass fed deliciousness - burger! I think about way too much. 🤍✨

You know when you think it’s kind of funny… but actually, my goodness, it’s really not?
Yeah, that.
That’s been me a lot lately. 🤍

I’m deep in learning more about somatic healing this intrigues me, and I keep coming back to the book that honestly hits differently every time📖

The Body Keeps The Score by Bessel van der Kolk. (I know I mention this a thousand times, but it’s a good one)

“What we experience doesn’t just stay in the past; it leaves an imprint on the mind, brain and body.”

It’s wild how much our body holds on to, and how much power there is in releasing it. This is my mission at the moment.

Frequency, energetic shifts, all of it, it matters more than we realise.

I’ve also started learning about bioresonance, which is honestly blowing my mind.

⚡ Our cells emit electromagnetic frequencies.
⚡ When there’s imbalance or dis-ease, these frequencies shift.
⚡ Bioresonance works by reading these frequencies and using vibrational energy to help bring the body back into balance.

It’s subtle but SO powerful, like tuning a musical instrument back into harmony.

And you know what? Resilience is a superpower.
It’s not a weakness.
You can present any way you like in life, but your body, your energy field, doesn’t lie. It always circles back.

That’s the law of vibration: what you put out will always pour back into you. I get great comfort from that. 🙌🏻

We’re energetic beings.
We’re constantly tuning.
And I’m here for it.

Everyone’s always talking about “balancing your blood sugar,” but what does that even mean? 🍬🍰🧁🎂🍫

For me, I started noticing that when I don’t eat properly, or skip meals or load up on sugary foods, my mood takes a serious hit. I get this wired-but-exhausted feeling, I’m more anxious, I crave sweets constantly, and honestly, it feels like I’m running on fumes. I used to think it was just stress… but a lot of it was actually my blood sugar.

Here’s what I’ve learned: when you eat something sugary or high-carb, your glucose spikes, and your body releases insulin to bring it down. But when it crashes too fast, your body freaks out a bit and releases stress hormones like adrenaline and cortisol to bring it back up. 😵‍💫

That rollercoaster can leave you feeling tired, jittery, moody, and totally out of balance. And over time, it can really wear on your adrenals. Great!

What surprised me most? Even foods I thought were healthy, or ones I didn’t know I was sensitive to, were quietly adding to that stress. 🤦🏽‍♀️

Getting more mindful about how I eat (and what I eat) has made a huge difference. More steady energy, fewer cravings, better sleep, and way more emotional balance.

A food inflammation test can help pinpoint hidden sensitivities, reduce internal stress, and support more consistent energy, mood, and metabolic function.

A few years ago, I became fascinated with mushrooms and their healing properties; I am still pretty intrigued as they have so many medicinal benefits. Luckily for me, I love them, so I try to include them in my diet as much as I can.🍄

I personally always choose organic mushrooms, but you can use the dirty dozen list as a guide if you want to know which foods you should always choose organic. 🤍

Here are a few interesting Mushy facts:

☀️Mushrooms are one of the few plant-based sources of Vitamin D! Just like us, they produce it when exposed to sunlight.

🧠 Mushrooms like lion’s mane are rich in compounds that stimulate the growth of nerve cells and can help improve cognitive function.

🌿Certain mushrooms, like chaga, contain antioxidants and other compounds that can help detoxify the liver.

You’ve been told to “cut carbs,” “skip meals,” or “count calories,” but what if those popular (very unhelpful) nutrition myths that are drilled into you are keeping you from reaching your full potential? 😩

I 100% know they are!

Here are my top 5 myths that might be sabotaging your health journey. Holding you back from reaching your desired goal and causing havoc on your hormone health, which in turn is now increasing your overwhelm and anxiety!

Do you have a feeling that something is not right with your cycle? 🩸Perhaps you’ve got used to specific symptoms because they were ‘Your’ normal, but now you think something is not quite right! 🤔

If so, this is your time to take action! 🙌🏻 Quit being fed up and just letting the months roll on. Because there is so much you can do! 💫

Swipe 👉🏼to see some reason, why balancing your blood sugar is crucial for balanced hormone health!

There is so much info about balancing your blood sugar levels and why it’s important, and I speak with many clients who want to learn more about this, which is great!

But, there are also lots of clients who are getting absorbed into the marketing of devices that can help you do this, which creates another obsession, which, in my opinion, isn’t a sustainable long-term solution, especially as you start to get hooked on a number. It’s not too dissimilar from counting calories, which is another pet hate of mine! Your focus becomes on what a device or number tells you. And I have then seen clients getting anxious about what the number is saying, which causes another stream of stress.

The most subtle nutritional and lifestyle swaps and tweaks can make a huge difference in balancing blood sugar levels. 🙌🏻🤍💫
