Today is a personal milestone for me — I’m turning 50. 🎂
I don’t usually make a big deal of birthdays, but this one has made me pause and reflect.
Alongside turning 50, this year also marks 25 years in nutrition — a career that’s shaped how I see food, health, and human behaviour in ways I could never have imagined when I first began.
Looking back, one thing stands out:
People are craving connection — with each other, with their own bodies, and with food in a way that feels steady, reassuring, and kind.
So rather than celebrating this birthday with anything extravagant, I wanted to mark it in a way that feels meaningful:
✨ The Lives & Forks Lunch Club — a free monthly community space starting in January 2026.
It brings together the threads of what I’ve learned over these 25 years:
* understanding how food supports our physical health
* recognising the emotional landscape behind eating
* easing the confusion and pressure created by the wellness world
* and creating calm, grounding connection around food again
Each month, members receive a thoughtful, seasonal recipe, and are invited to a live lunchtime session exploring how food fits into our lives — practically, psychologically, and physiologically.
This is my way of saying thank you.
Thank you for being here.
Thank you for reading, listening, and trusting me with parts of your health and wellbeing.
And thank you for allowing me to do work I truly love.
If you’d like to join the Lunch Club, the link is in my bio — I would be delighted to welcome you.
Here’s to connection, nourishment, and joy in the year ahead. 🥗🌿
