🌱 Today I had the pleasure of joining Headway Durham to deliver an engaging session on healthy food and nutrition.

From lively discussions to thoughtful questions, the group’s energy and curiosity made it a truly interactive experience. It was especially heart-warming to reconnect with a couple of familiar faces among the clients — moments like these remind me why I love what I do.

A huge thank you to the Headway team and participants for the warm welcome and meaningful conversations. What a brilliant group to spend time with!

Clearing up a common misconception:

Eggs are indeed not dairy.....

• 🐔 Eggs come from chickens (birds), not mammals.

• 🥛 Dairy products like milk, cheese, and yogurt come from mammal milk.

• ✅ Eggs are a source of protein, not dairy — and they contain no lactose.

I’ve had quite a few questions about magnesium supplements recently. While I don’t typically recommend supplements across the board, magnesium can offer some benefits — especially for peri-menopausal women. Here’s a brief summary to help clarify when and why it might be useful:

🧠 Morning Dose for Energy
• Type: Magnesium malate or magnesium citrate
• Why: These forms support ATP production (your cellular energy currency) and help reduce fatigue
• When: With breakfast or mid-morning snack
• Bonus: May also help with mood and focus

😴 Evening Dose for Sleep
• Type: Magnesium glycinate or magnesium taurate
• Why: These are calming forms that support GABA activity, helping you wind down
• When: 1–2 hours before bed
• Bonus: Can ease muscle tension and promote deeper sleep
