What a wonderful evening last night a beautiful boutique cafe local to our clinic. A mindful evening creating a wonderful luxury candle with
The cafe provided a tasty gluten and dairy free charcuterie board for me...and standard versions for my friends. Coupled with a great atmosphere and step by step instruction on how to create our delectable fragrance to take home ... absolutely an evening to recommend.

So today is one of my favourite days in my job....I get to spend the day sharing my passion of health coaching to support other clinicians and improve their conversations with their patients to get better health outcomes.

Encouraging behaviour change and taking personal responsibility for care is not possible simply by telling someone to do it.....providing a safe environment to disclose what really matters, finding out what support is needed and creating a plan together is much more effective and empowering for patients and clinicians alike.

So when you go to your next health appointment..go prepared to ask questions....what do you want to get out of that appointment? What do you want to leave with? what do you want to know? What support do you need? Who else do you want to speak to ?

I don't want my patients/clients to feel " taught at".....I want them to know I'm always there to offer support and clinical advice but that they have absolutely got this....they just need to remember they are resourceful but when times feel difficult it's ok to ask for help and reassurance.

Then....I asked chatgpt to create an infographic of me and of my teaching content today.....it's really quite cute!!

Introducing this week's interview with.....fit
Triathlon training is specific and demanding ...alongside being a personal trainer...that's high macro requirements with essential recovery nutrition and hydration strategies.

I asked Josh if he had any competition day superstitions...here is what he said...

Nothing too extreme — I stick to the same breakfast, same warm-up routine and make sure everything is prepared the night before. Consistency keeps me calm.

To keep up with your body's demands it's imperative to spend time considering your nutrition plan, getting it wrong reduces training gains and recovery ...resulting in graded reduction in training performance...whilst appropriate nutrition supports training, encourages sustained improvements and recovery....so why not consider a personalized approach and meet with a Registered dietitian specialising in sports nutrition...

If you do Hyrox do you have an effective nutrition strategy? Are you gaining and performing to your potential? Why not consider evidence based advice from a Registered Dietitian who specialises in sports and exercise nutrition....

So...today is National Princess Day...who knew! But it got me thinking about Princesses and their images and how it reflects on today's life ...as I support lots of clients (including athletes male and female) who are worried about their body image and not conforming to "what they should look like".....(Whatever that may be)

A study done by The Mental Health Foundation found that whilst 21% of adults (23% men and 19% women) felt satisfied because of their body image in the last year, 20% (15% men and 25% women) felt shame, 34% (25% men and 43% women) felt down or low and 19% (12% men and 26% women) felt disgusted in the last year because of their body image. Factors associated with body image were listed to be the media / social media, peers. Partners and the workplace, pregnancy and new parenthood and physical appearance.

These figures concern me, whilst I wholly support wanting to achieve a healthy diet which encourages a healthier future it is not all about weight ....it's about nourishing our body to support a healthy mindset, being kind to ourselves and others and celebrating individuality.

So this new year....rather than starting a fad /crash diet or following the latest influencer on social media (who typically has no nutrition qualifications or experience) to rapidly lose weight why not consider a coaching approach? Making gradual sustainable changes that allow for social engagements, Friday night treats and meet ups with friends but still supporting good nutrition and feeling good.

So, Happy Princess day you gorgeous lot!

So introducing today's "interview with....Jake Warnes...Jake plays rugby for Ipswich School, previously playing in the Northampton Saints U17 academy.

His training programme is intense requiring consistent refueling and consideration from a nutrition viewpoint.

Jake chooses a mixture of food and drink for fuel ...which is an effective way to help meet high nutritional demands.

Many thanks Jake for doing the interview.. it brings back fantastic memories of when I started my sports nutrition career back in 2003 creating a sports nutrition education programme for Northampton Saints elite academy

I often get asked how do I get rid of this cold?? Should I take vitamin c supplements? What else can I take?

Well the truth....you cannot "boost" your immune system by taking supplements...you can support a healthy immune system to be at its optimal by following a balanced healthy diet ... Ensuring sufficient antioxidant vitamins A, C and E by including a variety of different fruit and veg

By ensuring you are eating sufficient energy dense foods for your activity levels, by eating sufficient protein for growth, repair and recovery and by ensuring you stay hydrated.

If you are worried your diet may not be meeting your nutritional needs then why not consider an appointment with a Registered Dietitian ....
