51 years between these two photos 🖤
Same smile. Same fringe. Same glasses (well… almost 😄). One thing I’ve learned?
Your nervous system remembers joy.
Your body keeps score of stress.
And health is built quietly, daily, over decades.

This photo arrived yesterday and made me smile — a reminder that looking after yourself now is a gift to your future self.

This little girl had no idea about hormones, mitochondria, gut health or nervous systems she just knew how to laugh.

And honestly? That still matters.

Health isn’t just supplements and protocols.
It’s connection. Laughter. Feeling safe.
It’s what we carry forward from the people who loved us first.

Grateful for strong women, Irish humour, and the privilege of helping others protect their health for the long run.

Fasting: powerful tool but not for every season of life

Intermittent fasting gets talked about a lot and yes, it can support fat loss, insulin sensitivity, inflammation, gut health and cellular repair.

But here’s the truth:

👉 Fasting is not always appropriate
👉 It’s not one-size-fits-all
👉 And timing in your life matters

If you’re under high stress, not sleeping, peri-/menopausal, training hard, recovering from illness, or already undereating fasting can actually raise cortisol, stall fat loss, worsen hormones and leave you feeling wired or depleted.

Sometimes your body needs fuel first, not restriction.

If you do choose to fast, do it safely:

✨ Start gently 12–14 hours is often enough to get benefits
✨ Always prioritise protein at your first meal
✨ Stay hydrated (water + electrolytes)
✨ Avoid fasting on intense training days
✨ Break your fast with real food not coffee alone
✨ If you feel dizzy, shaky, cold or anxious stop
✨ Women especially should avoid long fasts during hormonal transition

Fasting should feel supportive, not punishing.

And remember you don’t need extreme protocols to get results.
Good sleep, stable blood sugar, strength training, sunlight and nourishing food often do far more than long fasts ever will.

Your body is clever.
Listen to it.
Work with it not against it.

I’m gently doing a fast today (last meal 7pm last night) but only because my sleep, stress and nutrition are in a good place. Fasting isn’t for every season of life.

😴 Feeling tired even after a full night's sleep? You might be carrying sleep debt — the hidden cause of morning fog and low energy.

Here's a simple 4-week goal to help: aim to increase your total nightly sleep by 30 minutes each week. Small changes add up and can improve daytime alertness by over 20%.

One micro-tip from your nutritional therapist: avoid caffeine after 2pm and include magnesium-rich foods like spinach or pumpkin seeds in your evening snacks. These support relaxation and better sleep quality.

Improving your sleep can lift that morning fog and boost your energy levels without needing extra caffeine.

Stride DNA Testing ✨
Your health “user manual” 🧬

Have you ever wondered why…

✅ a supplement works brilliantly for your friend… but not for you?
✅ you eat “healthy” but your weight / energy / sleep still won’t shift?
✅ you’ve spent so much money on supplements and still feel like you’re guessing?

That’s because your body is unique — and what works for one person doesn’t always work for another.

And a HUGE part of that comes down to your genes.

🧬 What Stride DNA testing does

Stride shows how your body is designed to work — so we can stop guessing and start getting results.

It looks at areas like:

✔️ methylation + detox pathways
✔️ inflammation & antioxidant needs
✔️ blood sugar + carbohydrate sensitivity
✔️ gut & immune resilience
✔️ stress chemistry + neurotransmitters
✔️ sleep + circadian rhythm tendencies
✔️ fitness response + recovery
✔️ skin ageing + collagen breakdown

💊 Why I love this test:

It saves you time, money and frustration.

Because instead of randomly trying supplements, we can pinpoint:

✅ what your body actually needs
✅ what you don’t need (and might be overdoing)
✅ the best supplement forms for your gene type
✅ the exact lifestyle changes that move the needle fastest

So many people take things like magnesium, folate, methylated B vitamins, antioxidants or sleep support…
…without knowing if it’s even the right match for their biology.

This is true personalised nutrition 🌿

Starting my day at my happy place — Revive Wellness Centre, Weybridge 💚

It’s been a super busy week, so I’m giving my body a proper reset with:
🫧 Oxygen therapy (for energy, recovery + immune support)
🔴 Red light therapy (for inflammation, cellular repair + glowing skin!)

These two together are honestly one of my favourite combinations when I want to feel energised, clear-headed and ready for a busy weekend.

Now I’m getting stuck into clinic work — analysing:
🧬 Stride DNA test + 🩸 Zinzino Balance test
so my nutrition clients can get a truly personalised plan based on their body, not guesswork.

If you’re curious about what your DNA + fatty acid balance can reveal about your health, energy, weight, skin, hormones or inflammation…
📩 Message me “DNA” and I’ll send you all the details.

Happy Friday everyone 🌿✨

High cortisol can block weight loss no matter how “good” your diet is.

When stress stays high, the body holds onto fat, craves sugar, and struggles with sleep.

To lower cortisol:
• Eat a protein-rich breakfast
• Balance blood sugar at every meal
• Get morning daylight
• Prioritise sleep
• Choose gentle movement over constant HIIT
• Reduce caffeine, especially on an empty stomach
• Slow the nervous system with breathwork or rest

Calm the body first.
Weight loss follows.

Ageing doesn’t start with wrinkles.

It often starts in the gut. 🦠

Gut health quietly shapes how well we age — physically, mentally and metabolically. As hormones shift through midlife and menopause, gut integrity and microbial diversity can decline, driving low-grade inflammation that affects the whole body.

That can show up as fatigue, joint pain, brain fog, blood sugar issues and loss of strength.

Because the gut is deeply connected to the brain, muscles, immune system and metabolism. What happens there never stays there.

Ageing is inevitable. How we age is not.

I don’t want “that’s just what happens when you get older.”

I want to play football with my grandchildren, lift them up, keep running and keep lifting weights — with strength, clarity and confidence.

The basics still matter most:

• eat to nourish the microbiome

• move regularly (strength, balance, flexibility)

• reduce inflammatory inputs

• support hormones when appropriate

• prioritise connection and joy

Longevity without strength isn’t the goal.

Living well is. ✨
