🍁 When we align with the season’s energy, change feels natural — not forced. Autumn feels more grounding and effective than the pressure of January resolutions.

We psychologically expect to be ready to blossom with our new better selves in spring/ summer, yet nature understands that this process has starts in Autumn.

DM me if your ready to find out more and start your journey of change.

When you start focusing on nutrient dense food, your perception of hunger and levels of food noise will change.

My lunch today was M&S smoked salmon pate, (the whole tub), 17g of protein ✔️13.9g of fat ✔️ handful of spinach (fibre) a good drizzle of olive oil, piece of beetroot and a couple of crackers. No idea what the total calorie content is, but the pate is 212kcal and a couple of crackers 60kcal.
So low calorie, high nutrition.
The pate was £2.25 so cheaper than any standard meal deal.

When you feed the body nutrition, you find that it doesn’t need to eat as often. This is how you cut calories without counting them and without fighting hunger or food noise.

Yes calories matter, logic dictates that if you consume too many you will gain weight.

Maths however isn’t the language of the body.

Your body communicates through hormonal responses, sensations, feelings, thoughts, and emotions.

Learning the language of your metabolism doesn’t require a calculator.

When you understand how your mind body and communicate, weight loss becomes easier.

Insulin is the master hormone within weight gain, weight loss and overall health. Learn its language, and you in turn will learn to understand what your body is trying to communicate, and how to respond effectively.

This is how you learn to take control of your health.

Join me on my online course, where I will teach you everything that you need to know.

The lost art of being bored, it’s not just being able to sit and tolerate doing nothing.

In fact it’s far from it!
We live in a world where we are bombarded with information, novelty, stimulation, interaction and instant gratification. Yet we are probably more bored than ever before.

No longer is sitting watching telly enough, you may find yourself scrolling on your phone at the same time, snacking on junk food, or maybe you notice it in the inability to hold focus to read a book.

This constant bombardment drives seeking behaviour, and cheap dopamine wins.

It’s an attempt to shift an internal feeling, but the feeling is dopamine depletion and the more you seek the more you deplete.

Next time you reach for your phone to start scrolling, or you mindlessly go to eat something, check in with your body first and see if you can start to notice what I all the internal itch. It’s a sensation that feels a little uncomfortable, challenge yourself to sit with it.

boredom is no longer about ‘not enough’ — it’s about dopamine depletion and nervous system dysregulation.

Rather than eating something have a hot drink.
Impose a small rule - don’t pick up your phone and start scrolling.

By doing this you will build your window of tolerance.
You’re teaching your nervous system that its is safe with stillness.

Your future self will thank you.

A few moments of calm in between the emotional roller coaster that has been the last week.

Saying goodbye was tough ♥️😢

Would I want it any other way…No
I want Katie to experience life, and not let fear hold her back.

I’m super proud of all my girls, their drive, independence & strength. They are all braver than me.

Proud girl mum ♥️😘

How often do you actually engage your senses?

Our senses and emotions are intimately connected. Research shows they offer a fast and effective route to emotion regulation.

Emotional eating, is strongly linked to low interoceptive awareness—our ability to notice and accurately interpret the body’s internal signals: heartbeat, breathing, hunger, muscle tension, gut feelings, and emotional arousal.

But interoception isn’t just about eating and weight. Low interoceptive awareness is also correlated with:

* Poor emotion regulation
* Anxiety and depression
* Addiction and impulsivity
* Increased pain perception …and more.

Our exteroceptive senses—taste, smell, sight, sound, and touch—act as a bridge to building interoception. Engaging these senses trains your mind to notice how the body feels, priming you for greater internal awareness.

Yet in our fast-paced, screen-focused world, how often do we truly stop and experience the world around us? Most of us are too busy doing rather than experiencing.

Modern life has changed our sensory engagement, even with food:
* We rely on use-by dates instead of smelling food.
* Pre-prepared meals remove touch.
* Eating while scrolling reduces taste awareness.
* Soft, processed foods minimize texture.

This isn’t just about enjoyment—

It’s also not just emotion regulation, research shows that reduced sensory engagement is linked to dementia and Alzheimer’s risk.

Start noticing. Start engaging. Slow down, breathe, taste, touch, listen, and smell. Your senses are more than tools—they’re pathways to better emotion regulation, connection, and brain health.

En famile… making memories and soaking it all in before my youngest heads to Canada for the year.

Yes — there have been a few too many Aperol Spritz.
Yes — I’ve indulged in daily pastel de nata.

But here’s the thing: health isn’t about perfection, it’s about balance.

I can still prioritise my wellbeing and enjoy the extras. I can still choose nourishing foods, real food, I can still prioritise protein, but also enjoy the indulgent moments without guilt.

It’s never about what you do once in a while — it’s about what you do most of the time.

Health shouldn’t feel like a rigid rulebook. It needs to allow flexibility. Freedom to say yes. Freedom to say no.

Wellness is also about the memories you create, the people you are with, how you feel in your body, letting go of stress 💛

The mind and body are intimately connected. Healing also requires an understanding of biochemistry: your thoughts influence your body, and your body influences your thoughts.

This is my idea of breakfast in bed 🏖️
Soaking up the sun and just finishing my 4th book…heaven.

Any recommendations for my next read ?? 📖

It’s been a while since I’ve lost myself in a good book. In a world that is now dominated by social media, reading is something of a lost art.

I’m definitely guilty of not reading anywhere near as much as used to.

Yet the benefits of reading are huge,
a landmark study from the University of Sussex found that just six minutes of reading can reduce stress levels by 68%, outperforming activities like listening to music or going for a walk.

Put your phone down and pick up a book.

Let me know what’s been your favourite book recently 😌

Food noise is hormonal, it’s driven by insulin, leptin, ghrelin and unstable blood sugars.

It’s your body communicating through a hormonal response that it needs food.

It’s your body trying to detect sufficient nutrition and find homeostasis and subsequently failing.

Your body wants food…not a packet of crisps, a biscuit or pizza.

Prioritise protein, feed your body.

Don’t starve it, it will fight against you, and shout even louder.
