I love how life has a way of bringing people together, and I’m so grateful for every interaction and person I meet. We’re here to build each other up, and it’s clear in the wonderful relationship I share with

Julia and I met a few years ago, and I was drawn to the incredible work she does, especially in helping people find their purpose and break free from limiting beliefs. Our friendship has flourished, opening doors to amazing opportunities for both of us.

Just yesterday, over a long-overdue coffee, we delved deep into discussions about our life’s purposes and how we can translate this into support for other amazing individuals. The possibilities are endless, just like the potential within each of us. Here’s to great things on the horizon! ❤️

Have you ever had a conversation that reignited your purpose or helped you see your potential?

Iron Deficiency Anemia & Women: What You Need to Know

Iron deficiency anemia is a common condition that disproportionately affects women, particularly those of childbearing age. In the UK, it's estimated that up to 23% of women suffer from low iron levels at some point in their lives, with menstruation and pregnancy being key contributors.

Here’s how you can manage and prevent iron deficiency:

🚨 Symptoms:
Fatigue and weakness
Shortness of breath
Pale skin
Dizziness or headaches
Cold hands and feet
💊 Treatment & Dietary Advice:
The first line of defense is boosting your iron intake through diet. Some iron-rich foods include:

Red meat (beef, lamb and liver) - liver should be avoided in pregnant women due to the high vitamin A content.
Poultry and fish
Dark leafy greens like spinach and kale
Legumes (lentils, chickpeas)
Nuts and seeds
Fortified cereals

Heme iron, found in animal products, is more easily absorbed by the body, while non-heme iron, found in plant-based foods, is absorbed less efficiently.

Iron Absorption:
Not all iron is absorbed equally! Here's what you should know about enhancers and inhibitors:

Enhancers of Iron Absorption:

Vitamin C-rich foods like oranges, strawberries, and peppers.
Animal proteins from meat, which help absorb plant-based iron (non-heme iron).

Inhibitors of Iron Absorption:

Tea & coffee (contain tannins)
Dairy (calcium competes with iron)
Whole grains (phytates)
Spinach & Swiss chard (contain oxalates)

Try to pair iron-rich meals with Vitamin C sources and avoid consuming inhibitors around meal times to get the most out of your food!

If Diet Fails:
If diet alone isn’t enough, the NICE guidelines recommend oral iron supplements as the next step. This could be ferrous sulfate, ferrous fumarate, or ferrous gluconate. It's typically recommended to take these supplements for 3 months to restore iron levels.

In severe cases, if oral supplements are not well-tolerated or ineffective, intravenous iron therapy may be advised under the guidance of a healthcare professional.

👉 Always consult with your GP for blood tests if you suspect you have iron deficiency anemia, and before starting any supplements.

When you stop trying to control external factors, life becomes more harmonious. Control what you can, and that is, what is within you.

I spent a lot of my life trying to control different aspects and felt that inner battle when it was unachievable. I stopped trying and focused on what I could.

Facing Fears and Embracing Peak Health 🌟🚀

Hey folks, Ricky here! I've just completed my first and hopefully not my last bungee jump. I jumped headfirst (literally!) into overcoming my fear of heights.

As someone who’s always been terrified of heights, this was no easy feat. Standing on that platform, I felt my heart pounding and my legs shaking. But with a little push (quite literally!) and a lot of screaming on the way down, I did it! 😱💥

This experience taught me something profound about fear and overcoming it. Fear can hold us back from achieving our true potential, whether it's a fear of heights or a fear of changing our health habits. But when we confront our fears head-on and take that courageous leap, we open up a world of possibilities.

At Summit Nutrition, we understand that starting your journey to wellness and stepping into the unknown can be just as daunting. The fear of the unknown, of failure, or of stepping out of your comfort zone can be paralyzing. But overcoming that fear is crucial for achieving lasting health and well-being. With the right guidance and a supportive nudge, you can achieve things you never thought possible!

Just like my bungee jump, taking control of your health requires courage and a willingness to embrace change. Whether you’re managing type 2 diabetes, looking to improve your overall health, or simply seeking a better way to nourish your body, we’re here to support you every step of the way.

Remember, every great achievement starts with a single step—or in my case, a single jump! Take the leap towards a healthier, happier you. Let’s overcome fear and embrace peak health together! 🌱✨

Enjoy the vid and the screams!!
