Helping you take control of your life by ensuring optimal health and energy

12/12/2025

If you’re juggling work, life and everything in between, this is the kind of dish that quietly supports you all week long. It’s in my 28 Day Transformation Programme for a reason — it’s simple, nourishing, and so versatile it practically deserves its own medal.

In the reel I’m showing you exactly how to make it:
✨ heaps of onions gently sweating down
✨ sweet potato with the skin on for extra fibre and that lovely beta-carotene glow
✨ garlic (measure with your heart)
✨ a mountain of spinach that melts into nothing but nutrient-rich goodness
✨ fresh herbs and whipped eggs to bring it all together

It takes a few minutes on the hob, a quick finish in the oven and… honestly, magic happens. Light, fluffy, satisfying, and absolutely packed with gut-loving ingredients that help keep your energy steady.

I batch-cook a big one on a Sunday and slice it up for breakfasts, lunches, or those evenings when you just need something real and wholesome without any faff. It freezes beautifully too — future you will be thrilled.

If you’re doing the Transformation Programme, this recipe is already waiting for you. And if not… well, this might just tempt you in 😉

Health isn’t about perfection or dress sizes - it’s about building strength, energy, and independence for the years ahead.

Every meal you cook, every walk you take, every stretch you fit in… it’s all a choice that your future self will thank you for.

We can’t control everything, but we can choose to show up for ourselves - one good decision at a time.

"Let’s make December feel good - not restrictive, not chaotic, just gently nourishing 💛
We start the 30 Foods Challenge on Monday 8th December inside the Fab Female Community.

30 plant foods.
7 days.
A happier gut (before January even starts).

There’s not a massive range of seasonal vegetables right now.
This month is what gardeners often call a ‘gap month’ - the time when the autumn harvest is mostly gone and the spring crops aren’t ready yet. Traditionally, we’d be dipping into jars, tins and preserves from the summer glut to keep meals interesting.

But that doesn’t mean food has to be dull!

Now’s the time for your dried herbs and spices to come into their own. My slow cooker pretty much lives on the worktop at this time of year - but that doesn’t mean everything tastes the same.

A few clever tweaks can completely transform a meal:
🥕 Add a tin of chickpeas and a spoon of garam masala and you’ve got a warming vegetable curry.
🫘 Stir in butter beans and smoked paprika for a Spanish-style stew.
🍅 Add tinned tomatoes and some dried Italian herbs for a herby casserole.
🥔 Load up with carrots, leeks, and parsnips, and it’s a winter hot pot (especially with red cabbage on the side).
And speaking of the stew vs hot pot debate… I still say it’s a stew if it has dumplings, and a hot pot if it’s served with red cabbage. What do you think?

Right now, seasonal stars include carrots, cabbage, Brussels sprouts, leeks, parsnips, wild mushrooms, beetroot, pomegranates, and satsumas - plenty of colour and flavour to brighten up darker days.

And if you fancy something nourishing and ready in minutes, my Power & Glow Soup is perfect. It’s high in protein, packed with roasted seasonal carrots, and gives your skin that healthy glow we all love in winter.

Your poo says more about your health than you might think! 💩

The Bristol Stool Chart is a quick way to check how well your digestion and gut are working -from slow and sluggish to too fast and furious.

If you often find yourself at either end of the chart (types 1–2 or 6–7), your gut might be crying out for a bit of TLC.

That’s exactly what we work on in my 28-Day Transformation Programme - supporting your gut so you can feel lighter, brighter and more you. (link in bio)

Where are you on the chart? Do you need to give your gut some TLC?

Spicy Pineapple 🍍 is a non alcoholic cocktail specially created by Hannah from for The 28 Day Transformation Programme.
Made without sugar, it feels like a grown up cocktail that you’ll love to drink.

It’s going to be featured in my book (due to be released next year) and if you are a Fab Female Member it will also be in the recipe hub next month.

I’ll be enjoying it over the holiday season - will you?

Huge thanks to Hannah, who embraced the challenge to create a non-alcoholic cocktail without sugar. The hot honey syrup is a revelation and will be featuring in my drinks this winter chilli 🌶️.

I feel very differently to how I did in my 30's, and I’m not sorry.

I feel healthier, happier, and more in tune with my body than ever.

💜 Give me a heart if you can relate.

Fibre ma###ing - the latest trend that’s not actually new (I’ve been shouting about it since 2020!)

You might have seen “fibre ma###ing” doing the rounds on social media, everyone suddenly talking about getting 30+ grams of fibre a day, eating more beans, and boosting gut health.
I love that this message is finally mainstream… but let’s be honest, I’ve been talking about this for years! Episode 60 of my Fab Female Nutrition podcast (all the way back in 2020) was all about fibre, and I even wrote an article breaking down why it’s one of the most powerful tools for hormone balance, gut health and long-term wellbeing.
https://hillstart.me.uk/fibre/

Here’s why fibre's so important:
Fibre feeds your good gut bacteria
It supports healthy clearance - yes i mean 💩
It keeps your blood sugar balanced
It helps you feel fuller - the same action as weight loss injections
And it’s the foundation of great energy, mood and longevity

So yes, fibre might be trending - but it’s always been the real deal.

If you want to start “fibre ma###ing” the right way (without the bloating or confusion), start by:
✔️ Adding one extra plant-based food at each meal
✔️ Including a mix of colours, textures and plant types
✔️ Drinking plenty of water and moving daily to keep things flowing

You don’t need to go from 0 to 30 overnight, just build up slowly one meal at a time
