Sardine Supper

✨Baked sardines with lemon
✨Tomato salad with red onion with parsley
✨Chard stir fried with garlic
✨Roast sweet potatoes

Simple. Delicious. Nutritious.

Super quick mid-week meal: the sweet potato is chopped small so didn’t take too long, the sardines are 10 mins to bake, the tomato salad takes 2 mins to chop, same length of time as it takes to stir fry the chard!

> Chard is a stunning green vegetable which makes a great change from the usual suspects, plus it has beautiful cerise pink stems and we know that multicoloured foods are fantastically high in phytonutrients which provide important protection for us.

> Using abundant amounts of parsley on the tomato salad has detoxifying properties that the liver will be extremely happy about!

> Sweet potato gives Vitamin C for maintaining healthy skin and bones, lowering blood pressure, reducing inflammation, immune support

> Sardines are a wonderfully affordable source of omega three for reducing inflammation and supporting mental health.

INFLAMMATION: As inflammation is at the root of disease, so reducing inflammation is one of the key challenges to address and high on the list as a Nutritional Therapist.

⛔️If you suffer from any condition then inflammation is something you must address: chronic heart disease, type 2 diabetes, cancer, skin conditions, arthritis… the list goes on.

❌An inflammatory diet is low in fibre, high in added sugar, refined carbohydrates and processed foods: impacting your health long term.

🐟Oily fish is one of the best sources of omega 3’s: salmon, mackerel, herring, sardines, trout and anchovies are perfect.

🥕 Vegetarian sources includes chia, h**p, linseeds

💥There is often disparity between WHAT WE KNOW AND WHAT WE DO. Sometimes we all need professional support and guidance. Nutritional therapy closes that gap. I teach practical ways to implement small changes that make a REAL difference.

CLIENT TESTIMONIAL

I don’t need to write much here as Glenda has said it all in her post today

“Why am I showing you pictures of my lovely breakfast?? 😂. Because I wanted to give a massive shout out to .nutritionforhealth for the fantastic coaching session we had together yesterday 🔥

Nutrition has been at the heart of my recovery back to health after cancer but I have been really struggling with some limiting beliefs and some mindset issues around food lately to re-establish some of the good habits I have used in my wellness journey.

Amber was amazing at helping me look at these yesterday and change my perspective to one of compassion for myself instead of judgement, to look at what was holding me back from nourishing my body and helping it to continue on its journey to wellness.

We all tend to have some strange behaviour around food and having a coach help you to see that and work your way through it, so that you can choose to do things differently, is invaluable ❤️

This is a gratitude post to .nutritionforhealth 🙏 working with this lady makes my soul sing!! 😊”

We ALL have limiting beliefs and blocks that hold us back from what we want in our life. Becoming consciously aware of what these are through the power of intuitive coaching can unlock patterns and align you to what you truly desire. If you have spent decades wondering why you don’t see the results you want, why you can’t quite get a grip on your health, why you always end up back in the same place, or worse, why your health is on the wrong trajectory, why you yo-yo from one diet to another never achieving what you want, then coaching is an incredible way to break out of these patterns.

**OFFERING:  I am incredibly excited to be able to offer TWO spaces in September that include a bonus 3 free hours of coaching. In conjunction with my 12 week Transform Nutrition Package this will enable huge shifts in your mindset, and belief systems to support your health and weight goals.

This won’t be around for long so get in touch today!!

23/08/2023

After a weekend of camping and eating all sorts, lots of great food including who have a stall there and was the most delicious food, it was also great to come home to some green salad and vegetables - this is the main thing missing after 4 days

So for dinner last night I made up this dish which turned out to be absolutely delicious so I wanted to share it with you as it was so simple!

I’ve taken to cooking a couple of chicken breasts each week and having it sliced cold in the fridge. My daughter loves chicken in her salads at lunchtime and actually sometimes it’s very convenient and nutritious to have this protein source so easily available. I cook the chicken in stock for about 30 mins on about 170, and then just leave to cool and slice quite thinly. It stays really moist and is delicious!

I steamed tender stem broccoli and sugar snap peas until just cooked - I like them still a little bit al dente but you could do them as you like.

I didn’t want too many potatoes but had a few small New British potatoes that needed using so sliced them quite thinly and boiled them for 10 mins. Slicing them thinly feels like there is more on your plate and the balance felt right for me last night!

Last but definitely not least was the dressing. In my mind I was thinking like a Bang Bang chicken noodle salad but deconstructed and with potato!! And no salad in sight. So the dressing consisted of:

A large bunch of coriander
A small spoonful of peanut butter
2 tbsp soya sauce
1 tbsp fish sauce
1 tbsp brown rice vinegar
Half a lime squeezed in
Half a red chilli
A teaspoon of pomegranate molasses
A drizzle of chilli sauce (this could definitely be optional!)

Blended all the ingredients together in a high speed blender and then poured all over the dinner.
It was so delicious and actually making my mouth water writing this now

Felt the need to share this with you if you are looking for some inspiration this week, especially today with a hot day ahead, it’s a lovely alternative to a salad for dinner.

Let me know if you might try it, would love to know if this is appealing to you or not….

Sorry if the photo doesn’t do the taste justice!

This just happened!

Exactly 30 years after getting a Psychology degree from Manchester University, and after ten incredible months of study with and I am a certified coach in Life Coaching & Emotional & Behavioural Psychology.

This is going to expand and support my work as a Nutritional Therapist to go deeper and further with my clients, you, to get you the results you are looking for.

We ALL have limiting beliefs and blocks that hold us back from what we want in our life. Becoming consciously aware of what these are through the power of intuitive coaching can unlock an area that will align you to what you truly desire.

💤If you have spent decades wondering why you don’t see the results you want, why you can’t quite get a grip on your health, why you always end up back in the same place, or worse, why your health is on the wrong trajectory, why you yo-yo from one diet to another never achieving what you want, then coaching is an incredible way to break out of these patterns.

✨Supporting yourself nutritionally whilst also opening yourself up to deeper understanding of your limiting beliefs can unlock a huge potential for being in alignment with your health needs.

Manifesting sunshine and long summer evenings with this dinner last night! If you’re in the United Kingdom right now you’ll know what I mean!!! Come on sunshine, we know you’re there somewhere 😄

✨Simple teriyaki salmon cooked in the airfryer. This is an easy and delicious way to cook salmon but equally the oven is great!

✨Black rice with miso roasted aubergine and pepper . Black rice is a wonderful addition to any kitchen, it is deliciously nutty, takes just 30 mins to cook and is high in fibre and complex carbohydrates. Despite being less popular than other rice varieties, research shows that black rice has the highest overall antioxidant status, in particular anthocyanin, as well as several types of flavonoids and carotenoids.

✨Tenderstem broccoli and sugar snap peas lightly steamed and dressed with lime, coriander, sesame oil and soya sauce. Just fabulous green vegetables, you could use any that take your fancy but for me these work great in combination with the salmon and rice.

How are you manifesting sunshine right now?! ☀️

Hot soup in hot weather!

I’ve been surprised by how much hot food I’ve eaten in Thailand: it’s hot outside, all day and night and yet Tom Yum soup, the local spicy soup is eaten everywhere, street food and restaurants alike.

It’s absolutely delicious, with intense lemongrass, galangal (Asian ginger) and chilli flavours, often with onion, tomato and mushrooms, sometimes with shrimp or chicken. And it makes you sweat 🥵

Eating hot food when you’re hot turns out to be a really great way to cool you down. The beads of sweat primarily on your head, face and neck provide the perfect way to cool the body. Sweating, or “evaporative cooling”is the main physiological way that we release excess heat from our bodies.

So whether it’s hot chai tea in India, spicy salsa in Mexico, Pho in Vietnam, Tom Yum in Thailand or just a nice cup of breakfast tea on a hot English summer’s afternoon, this is the way to eat and drink that makes sense in hotter climates….

😎All in moderation of course! I still love a refreshing glass of gazpacho, a slice of cold watermelon or an iced tea on a hot day.

Would love to know your favourite food or drink to cool you down! 👇

HERBS

Inspired by this meal on our last night in Bangkok…. Bunches of herbs served on the table to dip into various incredible condiments.

We can all be a bit reserved with herb use, maybe it’s a throwback to the 70’s with the token parsley garnish?! 😂

Now I always try to use large handfuls of herbs in my cooking. I love the amazing flavours and the bonus, as with all foods, they are giving you super nourishment. Herbs in particular are extremely important for liver support, an organ that we really need to look after for detoxification.

And let’s face it we live in a pretty toxic world, so looking after your liver is vital.

The beauty of herbs is that they upgrade any culinary dish for flavour, nourishment, medicinal properties.

🌿Go gentle with a sprinkle (great way to begin developing your kids palette)

🌿Go heavy with a bunch (transformative in salads)

🌿Pestos: blended with oil, nuts and optional cheese

🌿Gremolata: finely chopped and mixed with citrus zest, garlic and olive oil, added to the end of a dish, such as over grilled fish, or on a casserole

🌿Mixed into spaghetti, noodles, rice for incredible taste and fragrance

🌿Add to foods when roasting to enhance flavours such as Rosemary to lamb, sage to squash, tarragon to chicken.

🌿Amazing nutrient profile, high in antioxidants, chelating heavy metals, powerfully healing.

🌿And after this meal maybe now I will add big bunches served with a meal to dip with spicy condiments!

Would love to know, what are your favourite culinary herbs? How do you use them best?

If you are looking to upgrade your health this year and are interested in detoxification and how to support your liver with food get in touch.

Case Study

I have been working with a client whose husband’s shift work meant she found herself with evenings alone during the week.

Using intuitive coaching I was able to help my client acknowledge there she had been neglecting her own needs, her mental health was suffering and there was some loneliness despite a very happy marriage.

When we began the journey she thought she was powerless, spending time alone filling space eating and with negative self talk. She thought her reality was set in stone and it just was what it was. She had no ability to get perspective on what was and wasn’t real.

The reality is she is strong and powerful and just needed some time to reflect and open up and acknowledge the facts that were not on her side and the possibilities that were.

💥Using the power of nutrition and coaching to understand not just what she was eating but why, when, where and the root of some deeper issues.

💥Delving a little into what the emotions were behind the scenes.

💥Really understanding the minute to minute details about how she spent her time of an evening.

💥Understanding what her reality was and what the opportunities were.

💥Creating new possibilities and unlocking potential.

❤️She has embraced some self love and feels happier for it, impacting her eating patterns and
leading to healthier choices

✨If you want to dig deeper this is the time. Nutritional Therapy and Intuitive Coaching make the perfect partnership. They connect you to the reality and the opportunity, they help you step out of your story and into a new narrative of ownership and empowerment.

📆I have a week of discovery calls set up in Calendly on return from holiday.

Would you like to take one of the spots to have a chat about where you are at? Would you love to discover your deeper power and be able to move out of the limiting beliefs you have set yourself as to why you can’t or don’t and into the can and do? When you understand the story behind it through the power of coaching that is when you can step into the version of you that was always there.

A few highlights of the street food I’ve had in Bangkok this week so far.

Sound, sight and smell sensations.

Reminds me how much we enjoy food for more than just the sense of taste…. Although the taste sensations are off the scale!!

Just all incredibly inspiring and exciting.

Summer Risotto

Fresh and flavoursome, a really fabulous way to to use broad beans and fresh peas this summer. The herbs, lemon zest and juice give it a beautiful buzzy flavour that is hard to capture in a photo but it was absolutely delicious and well worth making.

3 shallots
2 sticks celery
3 cloves garlic
Pancetta (optional)
1 slug of white wine
1 tbsp ghee
1 cup risotto rice
1 pack fresh broad bread
1 pack fresh peas
Handful of dill and parsley
Zest and juice of a lemon
1.5 pints stock

Melt the ghee.
Add the pancetta followed by the shallots, celery and garlic, all chopped finely. Cook for 5 mins until starting to soften.
Make the stock of your choice in a separate pan and have it simmering.
Add the wine and the rice to the pan.
Add your stock one ladle at a time until it gets absorbed and continue this process for about 15-20 mins until rice is cooked. Add the peas and beans after a couple of ladles full so that they are in the pan cooking in the stock for at least 10 mins.
Add the lemon juice, zest, herbs, salt and pepper towards the end of cooking.
Taste for seasoning.
Finish with parmesan and black pepper.
