Three cheers for chia seeds! Tiny might and just ÂŁ1.79 from Lidl*

Chia seeds may be small, but they pack a serious nutritional punch. Rich in omega-3 fatty acids, fibre, and plant-based protein, they’re a simple way to support heart health, digestion, and sustained energy throughout the day.

As a nutritional therapist, one of my favourite things about chia seeds is how versatile they are. Add them to smoothies, sprinkle over yoghurt, or make a nourishing chia pudding for a balanced breakfast or snack.

Soaking them overnight takes their benefits a step further. As they absorb liquid, they form a soft, gel-like texture that’s much gentler on digestion and allows your body to better utilise their nutrients. This gel also slows down digestion, helping to stabilise blood sugar levels and keep your energy steady for longer.

Because they expand significantly, soaked chia seeds can help you feel fuller for longer, supporting appetite regulation in a natural and satisfying way. They also contribute to hydration, as they hold onto water and release it gradually in the body.

If you’re looking to make small, sustainable changes to your diet, chia seeds are a great place to start.

Fibre maxing seems to be a real buzz word at the moment.

As a nutritional therapist I’m delighted that fibre is getting its well deserved moment to shine. But…fibre isn’t just ‘fibre’, it comes in two powerful forms, and your body needs both to truly thrive 💚

Soluble fibre dissolves in water to form a gel-like texture. It helps balance blood sugar, support heart health, and keep you fuller for longer.

Think: oats, chia seeds, apples, lentils.

Insoluble fibre doesn’t dissolve, it adds bulk and keeps your digestive system moving efficiently. Essential for regularity and gut health.

Think: whole grains, nuts, seeds, broccoli, carrots.

A simple way to get both? Start your day with oats topped with chia seeds and apple slices, plus a handful of nuts on the side, easy, balanced, and gut-friendly.

If you’re struggling with bloating, irregular digestion, or not sure how to balance your diet properly, this is exactly the kind of thing I help with. Book a FREE 1:1 discovery call with me via my website and let’s make your diet work for you, not against you.

Stop Food Waste Day - the perfect excuse to get a little creative in the kitchen

As a nutritional therapist, I’m all about nourishing your body, but that doesn’t mean everything has to be perfect. In fact, some of the best meals come from the bits we usually overlook:

💚Veg that’s past its best? Make turn them into fibre packed soup
💚Broccoli stalks? Slice them into stir-fries
💚Stale bread? Hello croutons or breadcrumbs
💚Overripe bananas? That’s basically banana bread calling your name
💚Veg peelings? Roast them for a crispy snack (trust me!)

Reducing food waste isn’t just good for the planet, it’s a simple way to save money, stretch your nutrients further, and reconnect with your food.

Today’s challenge: before you shop, check your fridge and build a meal around what’s already there. You might surprise yourself

It’s British Beef Week and we’ve even got BBQ weather ☀️, As a registered nutritional therapist, I’m often asked whether the way animals are raised really makes a difference. The answer is always yes, especially when it comes to grass-fed beef.

Cattle that are raised on a natural, pasture-based diet produce meat that is typically:

• Higher in omega-3 fatty acids (supporting heart and brain health)
• Richer in conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), linked to anti-inflammatory benefits
• A great source of bioavailable iron, zinc, and B vitamins, essential for energy, immunity, and overall wellbeing

Grass-fed systems also tend to support more sustainable farming practices and higher animal welfare standards here in the UK. My go to is in Skipton.

Choosing quality, locally sourced British beef isn’t just about taste, it’s about nourishing your body with nutrient-dense food while supporting our farmers and countryside.

If you include meat in your diet, opting for grass-fed is one simple way to make it count.

As a registered nutritional therapist, I often remind clients that healing isn’t just about what you eat, it’s also about how your body feels.

Your vagus nerve plays a key role in regulating stress, digestion, and overall wellbeing. When it’s supported, you’re more likely to feel calm, balanced, and resilient.

Here are a few simple ways to “reset” and stimulate your vagus nerve naturally:

🤍Slow, deep breathing (try 4–6 breaths per minute)�🤍 Humming or singing (great for vibration + relaxation)�🤍 Cold water on the face or finishing your shower cool�🤍 Gentle movement like walking or yoga
�Mindful eating, sitting down, chewing slowly, and relaxing before meals are all important. These small daily practices can help shift your body out of “fight or flight” and into “rest and digest”, which is where true healing happens.

Remember, consistency over intensity. Start small and notice how your body responds.

🫖Happy National Tea Day🫖

As a registered nutritional therapist, I often recommend simple, soothing ways to support digestion and herbal teas are one of the easiest (and most enjoyable) places to start.

Here are 3 of my go-to digestive teas:

Peppermint Tea�Known for its calming effect on the digestive tract, peppermint can help ease bloating and discomfort after meals.

Ginger Tea�A warming favourite that supports digestion and may help reduce nausea and sluggish digestion.

Fennel Tea�Traditionally used to relieve bloating and support gut motility, great after heavier meals.
Taking a few moments to pause with a cup of tea can also help activate your rest and digest state, so it’s not just what you drink, but how you drink it too.

Stress isn’t just about what’s happening around you, what you eat can play a big role in how your body responds too. To mark Stress Awareness Month, I’ll be sharing some of my expertise as a registered nutritional therapist,. I thought it would be useful share some everyday foods that can support stress levels.

Here are 5 foods to include more of:

Avocados - rich in healthy fats and B vitamins, which support brain function and help regulate mood.

Oily fish (like salmon, mackerel, sardines) - high in omega-3 fatty acids, linked to reduced inflammation and improved stress response.

Leafy greens (spinach, kale) - packed with magnesium — a mineral that plays a key role in relaxation and stress regulation.

Nuts & seeds (almonds, walnuts, pumpkin seeds) - provide magnesium, zinc, and healthy fats to support the nervous system.

Berries (blueberries, strawberries) - loaded with antioxidants to help protect the body from oxidative stress.

The goal isn’t perfection, it’s awareness. Small, consistent changes can make a big difference to how resilient you feel day to day.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, start simple: balance your meals, stay hydrated, and prioritise whole, nourishing foods. If you’d like a copy of my free hormone balancing meal guide, you can download it here https://www.victoriamalcolmnutrition.co.uk

As a registered nutritional therapist, I love celebrating the powerful link between growing your own food and nourishing your body.

You don’t need a big garden, just a few pots, some soil, and a little sunshine…here’s hoping ☀️🤞🏻

Here are some easy, nutrient-packed vegetables that grow brilliantly in the UK:

Spinach – Fast-growing and rich in iron, magnesium, and folate. Perfect for salads, smoothies, or light sautés.

Carrots – Great for containers! High in beta-carotene to support eye health and immunity.

Kale – A true superfood, packed with vitamins A, C, and K. Hardy and thrives in cooler UK weather.

Cherry tomatoes – Easy to grow in pots with plenty of sun. Rich in antioxidants like lycopene.

Peas – Sweet, delicious, and full of plant-based protein and fibre. Great for beginners.

Radishes – One of the quickest crops to grow, ready in just a few weeks! Supports digestion and adds a peppery crunch.

Growing your own veg isn’t just good for your health—it supports gut health, encourages seasonal eating, and reconnects you with your food.

I’ll share some pictured of my ‘crop’ once I harvest. What will you be planting this season?
