I support intelligent women who are exhausted by dieting to move from carb counting to feeling well in their skin, energy and mind.

I’m trained in eating disorders and specialise in acne, gut health, hormones and sustainable, guilt‑free changes with food.

There’s now an app that tells you what’s wrong with your face.

𝗛𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗹𝘆… 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳*𝗰𝗸??

We’ve normalised letting an algorithm pick us apart, then wonder why our self-esteem is on the floor.

It’s very easy to end up taking 8 different things 'just in case'.⁣
⁣
The problem is, nutrients don’t live in isolation. Push one too hard, and you can easily nudge something else out of range.⁣
⁣
For example, long‑term high‑dose zinc can start to deplete copper, which you need for things like energy, immune function and antioxidant defence in the skin.⁣
⁣
High doses of vitamin A (often sold as a natural alternative to Roaccutane for acne) can creep into toxicity territory over time and affect the liver, bones and, ironically, skin.⁣
⁣
So it’s not just a question of does this supplement help acne? But also "𝑊ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝑒𝑙𝑠𝑒 𝑖𝑠 𝑖𝑡 𝑑𝑜𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑡𝑜 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑟𝑒𝑠𝑡 𝑜𝑓 𝑚𝑒 - 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑎𝑡 𝑡ℎ𝑖𝑠 𝑑𝑜𝑠𝑒, 𝑓𝑜𝑟 𝑡ℎ𝑖𝑠 𝑙𝑜𝑛𝑔?”⁣
⁣
Do you know what all your supplements are for? Or do you need a review to make sure they are actually needed?

If opening your supplement cupboard makes you want to shut the door again, this is for you.⁣
⁣
Most women don’t need more products.⁣
⁣
They need to know which two or three are actually worth taking – and which ones are just hanging around because they were once recommended in a podcast or on Instagram.⁣
⁣
When I start working with someone, we don’t begin by adding more in.⁣
We start by asking what each supplement is meant to be doing, and whether it genuinely fits their skin, gut and hormone picture.⁣
⁣
Very often, we end up with a much shorter list, used more intentionally, and with better results.⁣
⁣
If you’d like to feel more confident about what supplements you are taking, send me a message, and we can book your free introductory call with me.

Ever stared at a wall of supplements and felt completely overwhelmed?

Zinc, vitamin D, collagen, probiotics, skin blends - it's a lot.

Supplements can absolutely play a role in supporting clearer skin.

𝐁𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲'𝐫𝐞 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐚 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐜𝐮𝐭 𝐚𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝 𝐟𝐨𝐨𝐝, 𝐠𝐮𝐭 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡, 𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐫 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬.

What I see most often is women taking:

💊 Too many things at once, so they can't tell what's actually helping
💊 Poor-quality products that don't contain the forms or doses used in research
💊 Supplements that don't match their actual needs

So where do you start?

1⃣ testing and assessment - not guesswork, where possible.
2⃣ food - making sure you're actually getting enough protein, healthy fats and fibre.
3⃣ a small, targeted selection of supplements that match your picture.

In my 3-month 1:1 programme, supplements are there to support the work we're doing on your gut, hormones and nervous system - not to replace it.

How many supplements are you taking at the moment?

The only detox most of us need? A break from the constant drip-feed of wellness nonsense.

🍋 Your liver does not need lemon water.
🍪 That biscuit does not require a shot of apple cider vinegar for absolution.
🫁 And your body is already running a quiet, very efficient 24/7 detox via your liver, kidneys, lungs, skin and gut

We have zero credible evidence that specific drinks “flush toxins” in otherwise healthy people.

What we do have, though? A whole lot of clever marketing, expensive juices, and women feeling like failures for… eating normally.

Personally, I need a social media detox far more than a juice cleanse. Especially this week. I’ve seen a lot of wellness nonsense this week. So instead of a juice cleanse, let's go on a social cleanse together.

❌ Unfollow the accounts that make you feel guilty for enjoying food or a drink with friends.

✅ Curate a feed that teaches you how your body actually works and lets you eat without a side of shame.

Came off the pill… and your skin staged a full-scale protest?

You didn't make the wrong decision, and your body isn’t broken. The pill often masks the real drivers of acne – hormones, gut, blood sugar, inflammation – rather than fixing them.

When you stop, your own hormones have to take over again, and they don't always slide back into a natural rhythm quietly. Sometimes they crash around for a bit first.

The good news? Chaotic doesn't mean hopeless. When we look at your skin, gut, stress and cycle together, things usually start to make a lot more sense – and feel more workable.

What’s been the most surprising (or annoying) thing about your skin since coming off the pill?

After just one appointment in my Acne Rebalance programme, this is what landed in my inbox:

“𝐼’𝑣𝑒 𝑛𝑜𝑡𝑖𝑐𝑒𝑑 𝑚𝑦 ℎ𝑎𝑖𝑟 ℎ𝑎𝑠 𝑠𝑡𝑜𝑝𝑝𝑒𝑑 𝑓𝑎𝑙𝑙𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑜𝑢𝑡 𝑎𝑠 𝑚𝑢𝑐ℎ, 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑚𝑦 𝑠𝑘𝑖𝑛 ℎ𝑎𝑠 𝑠𝑡𝑎𝑏𝑖𝑙𝑖𝑠𝑒𝑑 𝑡𝑜𝑜. 𝐼 𝑐𝑢𝑟𝑟𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑙𝑦 ℎ𝑎𝑣𝑒 𝑛𝑜 𝑎𝑐𝑡𝑖𝑣𝑒 𝑏𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑘𝑜𝑢𝑡𝑠.”

When we work on acne, we’re never just working on your skin. We’re looking at hormones, gut, stress, blood sugar, nutrient status – all the unglamorous foundations that quietly affect everything from breakouts to hair shedding to energy.

That’s why the wins often show up in more than one place. Calmer skin. But also less hair in the shower, a more predictable cycle, a gut that isn’t constantly complaining and a brain that isn’t busy obsessing about your face.

What’s the one thing you’d most love to improve as well as your skin – your hair, mood, energy, periods?

Turns out you can fix a “meh” bowl of porridge with one simple swap. Quinoa.

Had a few requests for this morning’s breakfast recipe so here it is.

I’m not usually a big porridge fan - the texture’s never quite done it for me. But swapping some of the oats for quinoa changes everything. It bumps up the protein and gives it a much better texture (in my opinion).

Once it’s cooked, I add coconut and Greek yoghurt, then chuck some fruit on top.

If you give it a go, let me know what you think.

Did your skin go wild when you came off the pill?

I see this a lot, especially in women in their 30s and 40s.

It's unsettling when a decision you made years ago seems to have backfired on your skin.

In reality, your hormones, gut and nervous system are just finding their way again, after years of being told what to do by synthetic hormones.

There's a lot we can do nutritionally and lifestyle-wise to support that process.

How did your skin respond to coming off the pill?

Skin gone feral since you came off the pill?

The pill doesn't fix the underlying drivers of acne. In fact, it often masks them. It reduces androgens, flattens your natural hormonal rhythm and changes how your body handles sebum and inflammation.

When you stop, three things can happen:

1️⃣ Your own hormones 'wake up' again, sometimes swinging from flat to chaotic for a while
2️⃣ Any underlying issues that were there before (blood sugar, gut health, inflammation, genetics) show up again
3️⃣ Your skin and oil glands have to re-adjust to a different hormonal environment

That's why I see women who had mildly spotty teenage skin go on to develop much more stubborn, cystic breakouts in their 30s and 40s, months after coming off the pill.

Your post-pill acne is a sign that your body is re-negotiating its hormones and needs some support whilst it does that.

If this is you right now, what’s the one thing about your post-pill skin that nobody seems to be talking about, but you wish they would?

Before you cut out dairy ‘just in case’, try asking yourself:

1️⃣ Have I actually seen a consistent pattern between dairy and my skin?
2️⃣ What’s happening to my gut when I eat dairy?
3️⃣ Is the rest of my diet supporting, or stressing, my blood sugar and hormones?

Answering these is far more useful than a panicked ‘no dairy ever again’ rule.

Comment DAIRY if this is something you are wrestling with at the minute
