Expressing love through food is a powerful thing.

Whether in celebration of life or in the grief of loss, food brings people together.

To be cooked for feels like an enormous hug of deep love - nourishing the family, nourishing friendships, nourishing the soul. And to cook for someone who really needs it, with love care and attention is a very special thing.

After my own week of nourishment I am more grateful than ever for the food that has been grown, and the land that it has come from.

God to be reminded to have gratitude for what we have.

With love to you all

I’m lucky enough to have a beautiful office in my house in Tufnell Park, N19.

5 mins walk from the Northern Line in zone 2 of the London Underground.

10 mins walks from Thameslink at or the Suffragette Line at Gospel Oak.

5 mins from Camden.
10 mins from Kings Cross.

I have a lot of clients who are local to me. But you don’t have to be.

Often people come to see me in person for their first consultation. It’s lovely to see someone face to face and have that personal interaction.

Next week I have a new client coming from Norfolk for this first consultation and then we will likely move to zoom calls which are equally effective and comfortable.

I am extremely flexible so whatever works best for you.

But if you like the idea of getting out your house, having a new comfortable space to be heard and seen then come visit me in

If you have been putting off making that call but know you really want to then I can assure you now is a good time. There is rarely the perfect time.

Take control.
Be brave and do it.
Be kind to yourself.
Feel empowered.
Embrace change.
Get support.
You are not alone….
I am here for you

If you are all saladed out….

Veggies don’t have to be piping hot or raw.

Last night we had cold dinner with cooked vegetables which was simple, delicious and nutritious! No surprises there.

I was feeling so hot and lazy but this was easy and didn’t take long.

Airfried the salmon with ginger and lime

Airfried the corn with paprika and garlic (first time and very successful)

Airfried the (very much past their best) carrots which I sliced and mixed with oil and Zatar

Steamed runner beans and some Tenderstem broccoli and mixed in a bit of tomato and chilli chutney i found in the fridge 😂 tasted great.

Anyway I love the pink, orange, yellow, green colours on the plate. It was a light but yummy meal.

Just some ideas if you’re out of them….

HYDRATION

One of the more important things you can do for yourself is stay well hydrated.
Plenty of things make us dehydrated:

☀️Heat
🤾‍♀️Exercise
☕️Coffee
🍷Alcohol
🧂Salty foods
🧃Not drinking enough water
🥵Excess sweat, especially relevant if you are peri-menopausal and suffer from night sweats
🥦And one thing people often don’t know is that the more fibre you eat the more you need to drink to keep bowels working optimally

So here are a few important tips to help you stay hydrated:

💦 Try adding citrus, cucumber, ginger or even strawberries to your water is delicious

💦 If you aren’t great at drinking water there are loads of fruit and vegetables that have over 90% water content:
watermelon, cucumber, radishes, celery, citrus, tomatoes to name a few!!

💦Cold soups like gazpacho are lovely options for a hot summer day

💦If you’re out and about and looking for refreshment, coconut water is incredibly hydrating

💦Don’t forget to carry your water bottle, which you can now fill up at water fountains

💦Or the ultimate drink, iced green tea, super refreshing and a double whammy: hydrating and also high in antioxidants. Many people find green tea quite bitter but surprisingly when you have it cold it becomes more palatable. There are lots of different brands and flavours out there. Swipe across for my favourite.

How to make iced green tea:
👉I use 3 tea bags in a big tea pot
👉Once cooled decant into a glass bottle to keep in the fridge
👉Pour over a few ice cubes
👉Add a slice of cucumber is even more refreshing

💦

Food Prep: Sometimes you just have to think ahead….

✅Work packed lunch, heathy and simple however busy you are?

✅Breakfast granola all done for the family?

✅Chicken soup in the freezer ready for any medical emergency?

✅Christmas cake soaking in rum for a couple of months?!

✅Healthy snacks at the ready?

✅And what about a fermented papaya sauce for lunch in a week’s time?!

That’s what I’m doing this weekend, a bit random but straightforward and fun.

A lovely friend bought me a Thai recipe book back from Melbourne, a fabulous Thai restaurant that I now aspire to go to one day….

And as it’s BBQ weather and we have friends for lunch next weekend I thought I’d do a bit of food prep and make this fermented papaya hot sauce to go with some chicken wings….

I have a busy week ahead to be honest: Visiting my parents, seeing clients, a lecture on Nutrition For Painful Joints and finishing off the week at Wimbledon tennis on Friday as a special treat from my tennis buddy. So food prep is gonna be important this weekend.

DO YOU DO IT?
Think ahead, work out what’s needed, make a plan, do a shop, cook up some simple things to make sure you are able to eat what you need and want?

💥I coach a lot of my clients around this, it is about behaviour change in the main, finding small pockets of time and making the most of them, or diarising food prep and making it a priority because you want to, because you care about yourself and how you eat.

Some weeks are easier than others, but getting into the habit of thinking ahead, even if it’s to the next day, boiling some eggs or making a quick salad to take to work, soaking some oats for breakfast or taking something out the freezer that you made weeks ago so you have a homemade dinner rather than a takeout….

☀️Anyway, have a good weekend whatever fun you are having and if you have an hour spare why not make sure you have what you need for next week.

Breakfast Tacos

A recent invention….. I mean maybe I’m not the only one but if you haven’t ever tried them then honestly I can’t recommend highly enough.

I’ve made for my kids plus nephews and for overnight visitors and always a hit.

I do go a bit over the top with fillings but you could definitely pair down if you were less inclined to get this busy. But I love the colours, flavours, choices so can’t help myself. Pick and choose as you fancy. And enjoy!!!

Protein in form of:
*Eggs, I love scrambled but have also done fried, works nicely too

*Beans, white are easy and delicious but could also do refried beans of course

*Cheese, only really feta as far as I’m concerned and it’s a must have, crumbled

Vegetables in form of:
*Fresh bowls of chopped tomatoes, peppers, onion

Herbs are essential in form of;
*Dill, coriander, parsley - any or all are perfect in my opinion

Heat and spice, in form of;
*Pickled chillies, fresh chill, salsa and nduja… a little goes a long way!

Carbs light and tasty gluten free in form of;
*Corn tacos, heated in cast iron pan for 20 secs each side.

💥Hope you feel inspired.
💥Ultimate healthy top notch brunch.
💥Your friends and family will be delighted

Simple. Delicious. Nutritious

BBQ’ing vegetables is so delicious and simple.

Variety in nutrition is so important, each vegetable has its own unique blend of vitamins, minerals, plants based nutrients, different fibres. They really are the mainstay of a healthy diet: high in fibre they support all aspects of our optimal health, especially digestive, liver, heart and a healthy weight.

Asparagus are particularly great on a bbq, and are a wonderful source of prebiotic - helping to feed the good bacteria in your gut, allowing them to work their magic for you. And of course we know that supporting your gut health impacts holistically on your mental health and on strengthening and supporting your immune system

Asparagus are rich in folate, important for making red blood cells and for cell division, which is why folic acid is in supplements for pregnant women…. In fact 120g of asparagus will provide your daily recommended intake.

If you suffer with high blood pressure then asparagus are also for you as they are rich in potassium, a mineral that helps to reduce blood pressure, alongside other changes in eating patterns.

Asparagus contain vitamin C, E and other important polyphenols that help to reduce inflammation - something we should always be aiming for, to support optimal health.

Asparagus:
💚BBQ
💚Steam
💚Roast
💚Griddle

✅Slice and add cold to a salad
✅Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and grated Parmesan
✅Butter and black pepper
✅Poached eggs, soft!
✅Blend into a soup

Simple. Delicious. Nutritious.

Empowering Women to Optimal Health

As women we spend a lot of time caring for others and putting ourselves second, third or last in needs being met. My aim at Nutrition For Health is to inspire women to feel empowered to understand and use nutrition to aim for a life of optimal health.

As 21st Century women in mid-life, we are generally much more chronically stressed for so many reasons….Older mums, elderly parents, financial strains, pressures to be everything to everyone

Even if we can’t always make changes to fundamental stresses around us, we do have the power to alter the stresses we physically put into our bodies. Caffeine, alcohol, foods that we are intolerant to, pesticides, toxins, refined sugars, hormone disrupting chemicals.

And the thing I emphasise to all clients is that we don’t have to be perfect, but just start to be more conscious. Wherever you are in this journey make small steps and changes.

It is very EMPOWERING when you start to feel conscious that you have the tools to make changes in your life. Using food as medicine, to use nutrition to your advantage.

If you want help and support to feel empowered and inspired to make changes that will have a noticeable difference to your life, get in touch. I’d love to talk to you about how I can help you on this journey.
