These from India taste AMAZING!

I contacted the company directly and they'll ship to the UK. I don't have to ask my friend to add multiple bags to their suitcase the next trip over 🙌

Yes Dietitians eat crisps too. We're not "the food police" or eat "100% clean" (whatever that nutribabble is supposed to mean). The whole 'everything in moderation' can include things like crisps - food is about enjoyment AND nourishment. Sometimes I really fancy some crisps! I've not had tortillas made with beetroot before but I'm absolutely in love 😍

discount from Alflorex just announced via The IBS Network!

Just a note... different probiotic strains have different effects. There's not yet a test to state which probiotic is best for someone, it's a case of reading what the latest scientific research shows for that bacteria strain and aligning it with your client's needs.

Thought I'd share the discount in case anyone is keen!

I'm not paid by The IBS Network or Alflorex or Precision Biotics, nor do I get commission. Just FYI!

My thoughts...
✅ If it genuinely reduces carbon footprint (production, packaging, transport) AND improves animal treatment
✅ It matches or trumps the nutrition of meat
✅ It's actually enjoyable! Food should bring pleasure

I'd personally give it a try for the experience.

💙 I'm proud to volunteer for Diabetes UK.

This year's theme for our Diabetes Week is about encouraging and empowering people to get their vital annual health checks.

🩺 Living with diabetes can sometimes feel like it’s all numbers, checks and tests. I live with chronic conditions and can empathise! It’s easy to put the tests off, especially if you feel fine or don’t know which ones you need.

🏥 These regular diabetes checks are maybe more important than you might think....
From your HbA1c levels to your eyes, feet, heart and kidneys, these tests can catch changes early and help keep you feeling your best.

🙌 Staying on top of your health checks means staying in control and continuing to live life your way.

🤝Volunteering has been so rewarding.

Over the years, I've volunteered for Coeliac UK, The IBS Network, and Diabetes UK.

Each of these incredible charities brings people together, creating supportive communities for those living with coeliac disease, IBS, and diabetes. They help individuals better manage their conditions, provide trusted resources, and advocate fiercely for improved treatments and ongoing research.

Being involved has given me a deeper understanding of the challenges people face daily and the strength that comes from connection, compassion, and evidence-based care. I'm so grateful to play even a small role in this important work.

If you're looking for support or a way to give back, I can’t recommend these organisations enough.

📜->🖥️From Humble Beginnings to High-Tech Healing

The field of dietetics has come a long way over the past 300 years — and we’re incredibly proud to be part of this ever-evolving profession 📈

From the discovery of nutrients and their health roles, the innovation of tube feeding, and the fortification of food during WWII to tackle nutritional deficiencies — every chapter of our history has been driven by a desire to improve health through nutrition 🧠

Let’s not forget the foundational textbooks and pocket guides created by pioneering dietitians — tools still updated and used daily by dietitians 📚

We stand on the shoulders of those who came before us — using their knowledge, insights and breakthroughs to better support our clients every single day 🤝

Here’s to the past, present, and future of dietetics — powered by science, shaped by compassion, and strengthened by innovation. 💡

🙌I'm so proud of our team.

🙋‍♀️ Behind every nutrition plan, article, and consultation is a real person. I think they deserve a proper shout-out!

🫶 Each Dietitian is more than their impressive credentials or published work (though I'm incredibly proud of that too!), they deserve celebrating as people.

🙌 Every team member brings something unique and ultimately kindness with a passion for helping others thrive.

💚Great nutrition advice doesn’t just come from knowledge, it comes from people who care.

Here’s to our brilliant team, thank you for being the heart of what we do!

👩‍💻 Tech meets nutrition! The way us Dietitians are supporting our clients is evolving. Tech can sometimes be seen as depersonalising but we've found it helpful in some circumstances.

🙌 I'm thankful for all the encrypted and GDPR compliant tech our team can use to better tailor advice and connect with all our clients.

I'm excited for what's to come! I'm not scared of AI taking our jobs, I did a video a little while back on Insta on how it's got a long way to go 😅

I'm hoping AI will only improve how we support people in the future. We've consulted for a company who might be able to make a big difference in this space. Watch out for what's ahead 🔭

🔍 Did you know that diabetes doesn’t always come knocking with obvious symptoms?

🤔 Research shows it can take 10 years from development to being diagnosed for some! Don’t wait for the warning signs to get loud before taking action! Here are some subtle signals your body might be sending:

1️⃣ Thirsty much? 🥤 Constantly feeling parched even after gulping down water? It could be your body’s way of saying, “Check my blood glucose!”
2️⃣ Bathroom blues? 🚽 Urinating frequently, especially at night, could be more than just an inconvenience.
3️⃣ Zombie mode? 😴 Feeling tired and sluggish, even after a good night’s sleep? Your body might be struggling to process glucose.
4️⃣ Vision troubles? 👀 Blurred vision or sudden changes in eyesight could be a subtle sign of diabetes lurking in the shadows.
5️⃣ Slow-healing wounds? 🩹 Notice cuts and bruises taking ages to heal? It might be time for a blood glucose check!

Don’t let diabetes catch you off guard! Awareness is key 🔑. Share this post with your loved ones and let’s keep each other informed and healthy! 💙

Our specialist dietitians are Laura Coster and Victoria Deprez who are experts in helping you manage diabetes.
