What’s missing from GLP-1 care is support with why the weight went on in the first place.
And if that part isn’t addressed, it’s very easy to slip back into the same patterns when life gets stressful, or weight loss medications are stopped.

That’s why I’ve done extra training in emotional eating and eating behaviour, because for many people the problem isn’t knowing what to eat, it’s everything that drives the eating.

We work on getting your diet right so your blood sugar is steady and you actually feel satisfied.
You learn the difference between real hunger and eating from stress, boredom or habit.
And we work on building a way of eating that feels normal and enjoyable, not like you’re constantly on a diet.

Because the real goal isn’t just weight loss.
It’s feeling confident you won’t go back to where you were before.

If you’re on weight loss medications, planning to stop, or trying to keep the weight off afterwards this is exactly what I help my clients with.

Book a call with me and we can talk through your concerns, DM me or see the link in my bio.

I see a lot of people who feel like they’ve failed at weight loss
because slimming clubs didn’t work for them

but the truth is
it’s often the other way round

slimming clubs don’t work for them

I’m a Nutritional Therapist
I trained for four years
and I do about 100 hours of extra training every year
so the way I work is very different to a one-size-fits-all plan

when you work with me
I don’t just look at calories

I look at your gut health
your hormones
your stress levels
your sleep
your lifestyle
your medical history

because all of those things affect your weight

some people can follow a points plan and lose weight

but a lot of people can’t
because their body is tired
stressed
inflamed
or out of balance

I also look at food diaries in detail
I sometimes use functional testing
I can review blood tests using optimal ranges
and I’ve done additional training in emotional eating
disordered eating
and eating disorders

so if your relationship with food is complicated
we work on that too

this is why personalised nutrition is different

it’s not just about eating less
it’s about understanding your body
and working with it
not against it.

If you're tired of trying to figure this out alone book a free chat, see the link in my bio or DM me directly.

I love that people want to help themselves, and get healthy

But nutrition isn’t just about food lists.

ChatGPT hasn’t done a 7-day food diary.
It doesn’t know your family history.
It hasn’t gone through a full health questionnaire with you.
It hasn’t looked at your medications.
It hasn’t asked about your sleep, stress, digestion, hormones, or energy levels.
It hasn’t seen your blood tests.
And it definitely hasn’t spent an hour listening to everything that’s been going on with your health.

Two people can eat the exact same diet and get completely different results, because your body, your history, and your symptoms are unique.

A generic meal plan might look healthy on paper,
but it won’t tell you why you feel exhausted all the time,
why your weight won’t shift,
why your gut is unpredictable,
or why your hormones feel all over the place.

That’s why personalised nutrition will always be more powerful than a one-size-fits-all plan.

It’s not just about what you eat.
It’s about understanding what your body actually needs.

If you’re looking for a root cause investigation of what is causing your symptoms not a plaster covering them up reach out for a FREE 20 minute chat and we can discuss what is really going on.

Progesterone and oestrogen influence how fast food can move through the gut, so food can move slower causing constipation and fermenting - hello gas and bloating!

Stomach acid production naturally declines, making protein maldigestion and reflux more likely.

Bile can become thicker and slower-moving, affecting fat digestion and contributing to bloating, diarrhea, constipation or that nagging pain under your right rib and between your shoulder blades.

Hormones also shift the balance of your gut bacteria, causing gas production and erratic bowel habits.

These symptoms are your body’s way of sending clues, but they don’t always tell you the full story. That’s where I come in. I look at the full picture: your symptoms, health history, lifestyle, and sometimes test results, to piece together what’s really causing your digestive issues.

Rather than masking discomfort with another Rennie or guessing with generic supplements, I work to identify the underlying drivers. Once we know what’s truly affecting your digestion, we can create a personalised plan that supports your body, helping your gut become more comfortable, predictable, and resilient.

When we focus on the root cause instead of the symptoms, relief isn’t just temporary, it’s lasting.

If you’re fed up of living with this why don’t you book in for a free chat and I can explain how I can support you. Reach out or see the link in my bio.

Most people believe weight loss is about knowing how many calories to eat.

But let me ask you something.

If someone gave you the exact number of calories to eat every day… would that guarantee weight loss?

Probably not.

Because the real challenge isn’t usually the information.
It’s the behaviour, emotions and habits around food.

It’s the evenings when you feel exhausted and chocolate feels like the only reward.

It’s the moment you open a packet of biscuits meaning to have one… and suddenly the whole packet has gone.

It’s the stressful day at work when food becomes comfort.

Or the guilt afterwards that makes you think you’ve “ruined everything”.

This is why I completed additional psychology training to support clients who struggle with emotional eating and difficult relationships with food.

In my clinic we don’t just talk about calories.

We work on the psychology behind eating.

When I work with a client we meet weekly. We review their food diary together and look at:

• what went well that week
• where things felt difficult
• what triggered certain eating behaviours
• what support or tools might help next week

There is no judgement.

Just curiosity, understanding and practical strategies that actually work in real life.

Because sustainable weight loss is rarely about willpower.

It’s about understanding yourself and changing patterns step by step.

And having someone in your corner makes a huge difference.

Imagine how different your results might be if someone reviewed your progress every week, helped you problem solve the difficult moments, and supported you to build new habits.

That’s where real change starts.

If you recognise yourself in this, I’d love to help.

Digestive symptoms are common, but that doesn’t mean that you have to live with them forever.
The gut landscape can shift and change when the balance of bacteria in the microbiome becomes disrupted through stress, antibiotic use, alcohol and a less than ideal diet. When that balance is off, your gut can become reactive and sensitive.

If we only focus on avoiding foods, we often miss the opportunity to support and rebalance what is going on underneath.

When I work with someone, I look at their full story. Their history. Their stress levels. Their eating patterns. Their bowel movements. Then we gently support digestion and create the right environment for the gut to settle and strengthen over time.

If you want to start this week, try:

1. Eating at regular times to give your gut rhythm and predictability.

2. Include one fibre rich plant food daily that you tolerate well, then gradually add in another.

3. Take five slow breaths before meals to calm your nervous system.

Small, consistent steps really matter.

If you are struggling with bloating or IBS and wondering if it can change, it absolutely can.

You can message me or book a free call if you would like to tell me more about your symptoms. And if you want a simple place to start, download my free IBS Root Cause Quiz that will help you understand what your symptoms are telling you, type GUT into the comments and I’ll ping it to you.

For years, my client was stuck in the cycle so many people with IBS know too well. Constant bloating. Unpredictable digestion. Planning her life around her gut. She had almost convinced herself this was just how it was going to be.

When we started working together, we didn’t jump to quick fixes. We slowed down. We looked at her history. We joined the dots. Most importantly, she finally felt listened to.

With the right support, practical guidance, simple recipes and steady encouragement, things began to shift. Her symptoms improved massively. The constant bloating eased. Her gut became calmer and more predictable. And something just as important happened… she felt less stressed and anxious around food and her body.

Now she feels genuinely happier. More confident. More in control. She understands what her body needs and has the tools to keep supporting herself long term.

This is why I do what I do. Because when your gut improves, your whole world gets bigger. Social plans feel easier. Clothes feel more comfortable. Your mind feels lighter.

If you are quietly struggling with IBS, bloating or digestive issues and wondering if it can really change, I want you to know that it can.

If this sounds like you, reach out or book a call. Let’s talk about what might be possible for you too.

Consistency changes biology.

Stable blood sugar, improved digestion, better appetite regulation, these require repetition.

That’s why building simple, bulk cooked meals is a core part of my client programmes.

We don’t rely on willpower.

If you want help creating sustainable routines that improve your gut, energy and weight regulation, come and work with me.

It’s not a willpower problem. It’s decision fatigue.

When your blood sugar is low and your nervous system is tired, your brain will choose quick and easy every time. That’s biology.

Here’s what I do instead:

On Sunday I check my diary, identify low-capacity days and evenings, plan batch cooking on lighter days, add freezer meals, and write a proper shopping list.

On Monday I place the online order.

No nightly negotiation.
No fridge staring.
No 6pm panic.

Structure reduces stress.
And stress drives poor food choices.

If evenings feel chaotic, you need to plan ahead, comment DINNER if you need my blog that will transform your evening meals.

You don’t need another meal plan.

You don’t need someone telling you to “just eat better” or “try cutting carbs”.

And you definitely don’t need another quick fix that works for three weeks and then leaves you back where you started.

Most of the people who come to me have been struggling for years.

Bloating that makes them dread social plans.
Fatigue that no amount of sleep fixes.
Weight that won’t shift despite “doing everything right”.
Hormones that feel chaotic.
Autoimmune symptoms that flare without warning.

These issues rarely start overnight. They build slowly, often quietly, over time.

So we don’t guess.
And we don’t plaster over symptoms.

I take a full, in-depth case history so I can understand how you got here. I review blood tests using optimal ranges. If we need to, we use functional testing to dig deeper. I analyse your 7-day food and lifestyle diary to spot patterns. I look for nutrient gaps and underlying drivers.

Because that’s how you uncover root causes.

This work takes commitment.

Not perfection. Not extremes. But a willingness to look properly.

If you’re ready to understand your body rather than fight it, I offer free 20-minute calls where you can tell me what’s been going on and I’ll explain how I might be able to help.

If you’re looking for a quick fix, I’m probably not your practitioner.

If you’re ready to do this properly, I'm your nutritionist

16/02/2026

I wanted to do a little experiment, switch off my nutritionist brain for a week.

…and eat like many of my clients do before they work with me.

I chose a cookbook that many of my clients enjoy when they start working with me. I tried to follow the recipes exactly as written. No adding extra protein. No “Clare tweaks”.

The food was genuinely delicious (except for the green pasta).

But by day two, I was HUNGRY, so hungry that the heads of research (my husband and I) couldn’t stop craving sweet food and made a change to the experiment.
The problem was that the protein content was consistently lower than I’d normally eat and lower than I suggest for satiety and metabolic health.

Once I increased it, everything changed.

This is something I see constantly in clinic.

Women who believe they:
• Have no willpower
• Love chocolate too much
• Struggle with cravings

When actually they’re under-fuelled.

Protein isn’t about gym culture.

It’s about:
• Satiety hormones
• Blood sugar regulation
• Muscle preservation
• Energy stability
• Sleep quality

If you’re constantly hungry, this might be the missing piece. If this is you why don’t we have a chat, I offer free 20 minute calls where I explain what it’s like working with me and explore how I could help you reach your goals.

This client was deeply committed to improving their long-term health, living with an auto-immune disease. Together we focused on personalised nutrition, targeted supplementation, and gentle but consistent lifestyle changes. It was incredibly rewarding to see measurable improvements in their test results over time, along with better symptom management and the gradual reintroduction of foods that had previously caused issues. Supporting clients through this kind of transformation is always a privilege, and a reminder of what’s possible with the right plan and total commitment.

If you’re struggling with ongoing symptoms and feel like you’ve tried everything without any success. You can book a free discovery call to explore how a personalised, root-cause approach could work for you.
