Plant Fuelled Nutrition, Leigh-on-Sea (2025)

27/11/2025

I lied.
Relax. I haven’t gone carnivore. I’m not sitting in an ice bath yelling ancestral nonsense. Nobody’s banging drums or chewing raw liver in my kitchen.

I didn’t lie on purpose. The science just moved the goalposts again. Welcome to nutrition, where you can be right at breakfast and outdated before dinner.

Your body isn’t confused. The research just updates itself like an iPhone you never asked to reboot.

Right. Selenium.

I used to tell you Brazil nuts were the reliable solution. One or two a day. Done. Nature’s little mineral bombs. Then the scientists came in and flipped the table.

A study compared Brazil nuts from different regions and the results were chaotic. Some nuts had enough selenium to power you for the week. Others had the nutritional impact of a paperclip. Same nut. Same bag. Completely different reality.

And before anyone suggests I’m secretly funded by Big Brazil Nut, relax. After this I’m about as welcome at their headquarters as someone bringing up seed oils at a family barbecue.

Turns out it all depends on the soil. One tree is living its best life in mineral-rich paradise producing superhero nuts. The tree next to it is growing in soil with the nutrient density of carpet fluff producing useless little duds.

And unless you’re planning to personally test every nut in your kitchen like some unhinged home scientist, you will never know which ones you grabbed.

That doesn’t mean throw them away. It just means stop treating them like precision supplements. They are food grown in dirt, not capsules produced in a lab.

If you want consistent selenium, pull it from multiple places. Whole grains. Beans. Tofu. Sunflower seeds. And yes, Brazil nuts still count. They are just no longer the one-nut miracle you hoped they were.

So no, I didn’t lie. I gave you the truth with the science available at the time. The science changed. So the advice changed. That’s not deception. That’s doing nutrition properly.

Stay flexible. Stay updated. And stop expecting anything grown in soil to behave like it came off a pharmaceutical assembly line.

Comment OATS! I’ll send you the recipe!

Someone genuinely told me, with full confidence, “I avoid carrots… they’re basically sugar.”
And in that moment, I realised society might actually be beyond saving.

Imagine being scared of a carrot.
A literal orange stick that tastes like mild optimism.
Meanwhile you’re knocking back iced lattes with enough syrup to stun a horse but sure, let’s fear the vegetable.

So yes, we’re making carrot cake oats, because apparently I need to rehabilitate the reputation of a root vegetable in 2025.

We’ve officially hit the stage where people treat carrots like they’re doing a line of powdered danger, while drinking coffees big enough to qualify as dependents.

If “carrot sugar” keeps you up at night, your issue isn’t nutrition it’s critical thinking.
I grated one this morning and honestly felt like I should file paperwork for illegal activity.

The person who said all this?
They also told me they’re hoping to “meet someone generous” to help with rent.
So carrots? Too sugary.
Dating a man called Kyle who trades crypto in his car? Totally fine.

And where are the sugar parents for the rest of us?
Because I’m over here bravely consuming vegetables, and the only thing funding me is B12 and disappointment.

These are the same people who preach “inner healing” on Instagram but would rather uproot their personality than eat a vegetable their mum once hid in shepherd’s pie.

Meanwhile I’m here shredding carrots into breakfast like some rogue chef on community service.
And the way people talk about carrot sugar, you’d think one bite sends you straight to rehab.

If you need something to panic about, try:
your sleep debt,
your stress levels,
or your caffeine consumption that could resurrect the dead.

But carrots?
No.
That’s not a health concern that’s emotional turbulence disguised as nutrition.

Grow up.

If you’re vegan and still getting whiplash from every New Year fad, let me help you out
the fad isn’t the diet.
The fad is you, panicking every December like food is a new invention.

January rolls in and suddenly the internet turns into a wellness circus
detox kits, reset rituals, metabolism dust, people selling “morning routines” that require you to quit your job and develop a new personality.
And somehow you a rational adult who already eats plants get convinced you need all of it.

Let’s get this straight:
Veganism isn’t a seasonal cleanse.
It’s not Dry January with vegetables.
It’s ethics, health, sustainability not a panic purchase because an influencer chopped a cucumber in soft lighting.

But every January, the fads crawl out of hibernation yelling:
“No carbs!”
“No fats!”
“No fruit!”
“No happiness!”
If your diet reads like a punishment sentence, it’s not a plan it’s a red flag.

Your nutrition swings harder than a Hollywood meltdown big promises, dramatic crashes, zero long-term storyline.

Meanwhile the thing that actually works?
The boring stuff:
Consistency.
Balanced meals.
Protein, fibre, micronutrients, whole plants.
Actual food not powdered trauma disguised as a shake.

A real plant-based diet isn’t restrictive.
It gives you more to work with energy, performance, digestion, stable mood, better recovery.
And yes, there’s room for cake.
There’s always room for cake unless you hate joy.

Fads give you chaos.
Plants give you stability.
Fads hype you for 10 days.
Plants carry you for 365.

New Year doesn’t need a new identity from you it needs you to stop falling for trends that profit off confusion.

Fuel yourself like you actually want to feel good next year
not like someone rehearsing for their annual January breakdown.

You don’t need a fad.
You need food, routine, plants, and the confidence to ignore people who monetise panic.

If you’re still struggling to spot nutrition red flags, don’t stress they’re basically screaming at you.
Anyone who needs you confused to stay relevant is lying before they even open their mouth.
If their bank account depends on you not understanding broccoli… that’s not coaching.

Red flag 1:
They say “detox” seriously.
Your liver detoxes.
Their tea just rearranges your bowels.

Red flag 2:
They call fruit “toxic” but sell 19 supplements that look like they were brewed by a cult.

Red flag 3:
They worship the word “natural.”
Arsenic is natural. So is mercury. Calm down.

Red flag 4:
They speak in absolutes:
“No carbs after 6, no fruit for adults, no beans for men.”
That’s not nutrition that’s nutritional curfew.

Red flag 5:
They never say “fibre.”
If someone can talk gut health for 30 minutes without mentioning fibre, they’re not a coach. They’re a storyteller.

Red flag 6:
Everything is “your hormones.”
Not your sleep. Not your stress. Not your under-fueling. Just… hormones.

Red flag 7:
They treat plants like radiation but worship steak fried in butter.

Red flag 8:
The solution only works while you keep paying.
That’s not guidance that’s captivity.

Nutrition isn’t confusing.
People confusing you on purpose is the whole business model.

Eat real food.
Eat plants.
Eat enough.
Get protein.
Take your B12.
Sleep properly.
Move your body.

Anyone trying to keep you confused
is terrified of what happens when you finally understand the basics.

Story time.

I’ve kept this one quiet because it was rough, humbling and honestly not my proudest chapter. But today I hit a win I didn’t think I’d see again anytime soon. I ran 10 miles. And yes, I’m buzzing.

Last year I left Australia in the best shape of my life. Strong. Lean. Fit. Running fast marathons. Crushing competitions. Physically the strongest I had ever been. Everything firing perfectly. Then I moved to Bali. Paradise on paper. For a while it was exactly that.

Then everything flipped. Four months in, I got typhoid from god knows what. Thought it was Bali belly at first. A week later I’m sweating while freezing and trying to eat without passing out. Straight to the hospital. Straight onto IVs. “You have typhoid.” Brilliant.

It took seven to nine weeks to get to ninety five percent better, and in that time everything I’d built fell apart. I went from peak fitness to looking like I hadn’t seen sunlight or protein in a decade. Muscle gone. Endurance gone. The marathon runner who used to fly was suddenly struggling to get up. Confidence on the floor.

As a nutritionist it stung. My whole job is fuelling the body, and mine still got hit by something I couldn’t out eat or out train. That’s when it clicked. You can control what you put in your body, but you cannot control the world. Nutrition helps, but it isn’t a forcefield.

Recovery meant calories. Lots of them. What came with that was not a lean rebuild. It was weight. Soft, uncomfortable, unfamiliar. But necessary. Then came the slow climb back. No glamour. Just work.

Six months later I decided to test myself. A ten miler. Sixteen kilometres of seeing if my body still had something left. And today I finished it. Strong. Grateful. Proud. A little broken, but the good kind.

Am I where I want to be? Not yet. But this is Callum 2.0. Rebuilt with patience instead of ego and discipline instead of panic.

Here’s the real point. Nutrition matters. It transforms your health and performance. But it cannot stop life from happening. When life hits hard, the only things that get you back are consistency, structure and someone who knows how to guide you through the rebuild.

If you’re eating 1200 calories a day and confused why you’re crashing before lunchtime, that’s not discipline.
That’s you trying to power a full adult life on the caloric budget of a terrified sparrow.

You’re not tired because you’re plant-based.
You’re tired because you’ve decided “wellness” means eating like you’re preparing for a Victorian famine.

And spare me the tofu slander.
It’s not the soy.
It’s the fact your entire lunch could legally be classified as garnish.
Your brain’s trying to solve human problems while you fuel it with the energy of a scented candle.

But you still call it “being good.”
No being good would be feeding yourself like a functioning organism instead of someone cosplaying starvation for compliments.

You tell people you’re “so healthy” while living on salads that taste like despair and smoothies with fewer calories than a houseplant gets from sunlight.
Meanwhile your body’s begging for carbs, protein, fats actual sustenance and you’re ignoring it like every red flag you’ve ever dated.

Here’s the truth you keep dodging:
Plants aren’t the problem.
Your portion sizes are.

Rice, pasta, beans, potatoes, tofu, tempeh, nut butters, bread none of this is low-calorie unless you eat it like a scared apprentice chef trying not to disappoint Gordon Ramsay.

You’re not “clean.”
You’re underfed.
There’s a difference.

And then you wonder why you can’t think straight, why your mood’s on a rollercoaster, why standing up feels like a plot twist mate, your body’s in survival mode.

It’s not your iron.
It’s not your B12.
It’s not veganism.
It’s the fact you’re trying to operate on the caloric intake of a pigeon with performance anxiety.

If you want energy, focus, stable hormones, performance, brain power feed yourself.
On purpose.
With actual meals.
Regularly.

A plant-based diet isn’t the issue.
Treating it like a punishment is.

You’re not tired because of plants.
You’re tired because you forgot to eat like an adult.

Comment MUSCLE for the full Episode! 🧠 What actually happens when you chase the “perfect body”… and it costs you your health?

This week on the Plant Fuelled Podcast I sit down with John Thomas
A man who built a physique the industry said “vegans can’t build”… and then pulled the curtain back on all the misconceptions that come with it. someone who’s lived bodybuilding

We talk childhood, bullying, muscle dysmorphia, steroid use, ego, identity… and what happens when your entire self-worth is built on how much muscle you can carry.

And yes,John did it all while thriving on a 100% vegan lifestyle, proving (louder than any gym bro argument) that strength, size, and ethics can coexist.
His journey exposes the myths people still believe about vegan muscle-building, performance, and what it actually takes to get strong without losing your health in the process.

This isn’t a highlight reel.
It’s the stuff most “fitness influencers” keep quiet because it doesn’t fit the aesthetic.

✨ In this episode:
✅ The truth about building muscle naturally vs enhanced
✅ The mental cost of chasing an unachievable physique
✅ Growing up bullied, and how it shapes the men we become
✅ Steroids, health consequences & the stories no one shares
✅ How to rebuild confidence without destroying yourself
✅ Finding identity outside of fitness
✅ The mindset John had to unlearn to finally feel free
✅ How vegan performance nutrition shaped his journey

If you’re sick of the fake positivity, the ego lifting, the protein-shake philosophy and the “grind mindset”,this episode resets the whole narrative.

Real conversation.
Real vulnerability.
Real lessons for anyone trying to become stronger without losing themselves in the process.

If you’re still buying powders that “balance your hormones,” I’ve got bad news, you’ve been financially and spiritually pickpocketed.
Those potions aren’t healing anything except the influencer’s bank account.
Collagen in your latte isn’t medicine; it’s just bougie milk pretending to be important.

Looking to up your nutrition? Optimise towards your goals! Thrive in the ways you were meant to! DM me discovery and let’s chat! ✅
You can’t supplement your way out of chaos.
You can’t sprinkle mushroom dust on a diet of skipping meals and call it “hormone support.”
That’s not biohacking,that’s wishful thinking with a price tag.

Half the wellness world is just aromatherapy for people who refuse to eat breakfast.
You don’t need a cleanse.
You need to stop treating vegetables like a personality threat.

You’ll happily drop £60 on “hormone tea” that tastes like boiled anxiety,
but swear tofu is “too pricey.”
That’s not self-care that’s fiscal hallucination.

Let’s be honest:
Your hormones aren’t malfunctioning.
Your blood sugar is going on theme-park rides because you haven’t had a proper meal since Tuesday.
Your mood swings? That’s carb deprivation.
Your “slow metabolism”? It’s running on fumes because you’ve replaced food with supplements and optimism.

And the people selling you this “balance” nonsense?
They live on smoothies, chaos, and affiliate links.
Their hormones aren’t “reset” their marketing is.

If you actually want stability:
Eat regularly.
Sleep like a grown adult.
Lift something that isn’t your emotional baggage.
And maybe, just maybe, try food before you inhale another adaptogen like it’s prescription-grade.

You don’t need powders blessed by the moon.
You need protein, plants, fibre, and a schedule that doesn’t involve starvation cosplay.

Your hormones aren’t the problem.
Your priorities are.

If you’re stressed about pesticides, mold, microplastics, and whatever emotional toxins your ex left lingering in your nervous system honestly? Fair.
The world’s filthy, and your tap water has the filtration strength of a wet paper towel.

So here’s the adult upgrade:
This tiny little device my Detoxer actually deep-cleans your food like it’s auditioning for a crime scene cleanup show.
Ozone + ultrasound.
No chemicals.
No weird rituals.
No “just trust the universe” energy.
Just tech doing the job your sink gave up on.

Oh and it’s 40% off until December, so you can decontaminate your grapes and your finances at the same time.

You chuck it in a bowl, hit the button, and boom it starts blasting off the stuff you don’t want to digest: pesticides, residues, microscopic nasties, the invisible chaos your berries have been marinating in.
Tap water could never.

And before someone tries to bathe in it don’t.
It’s powerful enough to strip stress, bad decisions, and possibly the last three people you dated if you stare at it long enough.

It’s small, quiet, and slides into your kitchen routine like common sense you didn’t know you needed.
Your fruit ends up tasting fresher, your veg keeps longer, and you stop pretending rinsing something under the tap makes you a responsible adult.

Your berries?
Yeah, they’re in their “unhinged influencer” phase coated in stuff you can’t see but definitely shouldn’t eat raw.
Stop relying on vibes.

If you’re plant-based, health-conscious, or just finally admitting your sink is ornamental… this is your sign.
The Milerd Detoxer because “clean eating” means nothing if your food’s still wearing environmental trauma.

If you’re only managing one bowel movement a week, that’s not “your normal.”
That’s your colon waving a white flag and begging for reinforcements.
You’re not “built different.”
You’re blocked. Catastrophically.

Struggling with your nutrition, looking to optimise towards a goal? Let’s chat DM me COACH, for a free discovery call

And if you’re taking gut advice from influencers who think butter is a food group, congratulations you’ve joined the only movement where literally nothing moves.
Everyone’s calm because they’re too constipated to feel emotions.

You can’t blame plants for digestive chaos when your fibre intake rivals a haunted attic.
You’re eating like someone actively trying to avoid the toilet.
Of course nothing’s happening your meals don’t even qualify as roughage.

You poke fun at vegans for eating beans, but at least our bowels run on a schedule.
Yours operate on mystery, luck, and emergency prayers.

Here’s the truth no one wants:
Your gut isn’t “slow.”
It’s unfed.
No fibre = no movement.
No plants = no transit.
You’ve basically shrink-wrapped your insides and hoped positive thinking would clear a blockage.

Meanwhile, lentils, beans, chickpeas, veggies, fruit, whole grains they’re the transit system your colon has been begging for.
They feed the microbiome, build stool bulk, and keep you functioning like someone who belongs in the 21st century.

You don’t need a cleanse.
You need your bowels to stop filing “missing person” reports.
Plants don’t cause bloating they cause activity.
Your gut’s only shocked because it’s been dormant since before lockdown.

Stop blaming fibre for doing its literal job.
Stop calling constipation “clarity” just because you’re too backed up to feel anything.
You’re not transcending you’re clogging.

If you want a digestive system that actually participates in life, eat fibre.
Not steak stacks, not butter pyramids, not meals that defend their honour in Facebook groups.

One bowel movement a week isn’t discipline.
It’s a medical plot twist.

15/11/2025

If you still think eating more plants is “nice to have,” that’s adorable you’re basically running your body on beginner settings and wondering why life keeps glitching.

Looking to sort out your nutrition? Need help achieving a goal? Let’s chat with a free 1:1 discovery call! DM me chat!
Plants aren’t a wellness trend.
They’re the only food group that starts improving your health before you’ve even swallowed.
Fibre? Plants.
Antioxidants? Plants.
Cell repair, longevity, immunity, mood support? Still plants.
But yeah, keep acting like chicken breast with a personality disorder is doing all the heavy lifting.

Add more plants and everything upgrades.
Your gut stops sounding like a plumbing issue.
Your energy stops disappearing at 2pm.
Your arteries stop filing complaints.
Even your mood shifts because serotonin doesn’t run on protein shakes and self-doubt. It runs on fibre and actual nutrition.

And for the people yelling “plants aren’t enough” relax.
We’re the ones running, lifting, thinking, recovering, and pooping consistently because we eat food with nutrients, not just macros and denial.

Plants give you fuel.
Plants give you protein.
Plants give you healthy fats.
Plants give you micronutrients that keep you alive.
And plants give you fibre the one thing your body’s been quietly begging for while you pretend three coffees count as breakfast.

Nobody’s asking you to meditate in a field and live on kale.
Just stop acting like adding vegetables is some sort of personality crisis.

Your heart wants more plants.
Your performance wants more plants.
Your future self wants more plants.
And the people you love? They want you healthy enough to actually be present not wheezing your way through adulthood.

Plants don’t make you weak.
Running on low sleep, low nutrients, and low effort does.

Whole grains. Beans. Lentils. Tofu. Tempeh. Fruit. Veg.
None of this is extreme.
Extreme is pretending you’re “thriving” while your insides are staging a quiet rebellion.

Eat more plants not for aesthetics, for longevity.
Not for perfection, for performance.
Not for a trend, for your actual life.
