Some days the only thing to do is start a huge batch of spicy, delicious kimchi.. even though this looks like loads, I have to keep a tight watch on it as it doesn’t last long! #

Thanks Melissa.. happy to contribute:)

I've handed the reins over to Hannah for this week's Wellbeing snack. She writes:

Who knew the humble pomegranate was so good for us!

Why it’s special:

It’s bursting with polyphenol antioxidants, which are some of the most powerful compounds found in nature.

These antioxidants break down in your gut into smaller compounds called urolithins, which travel through your body to:

• reduce inflammation
• slow age-related decline
• support heart health

Gut & immunity boost:

Pomegranates help feed your good gut bacteria and protect against the bad ones.

This can lower the risk of digestive issues like bloating, cramping, and inflammation.

Their natural defence compounds (developed to help the plant survive tough conditions!) also support our immune system.

In short: Adding pomegranate to your diet is a simple way to nourish your gut, protect your heart, and strengthen your defences.♥️

Summer holiday survival.. breakfast can sometimes be the key to a bit more energy pre-tea time!

I definitely notice the days when I don’t have a filling breakfast, it feels easy at the time to have some toast, or a bit of cereal.. but come 4pm, the effects of your blood sugar rising and falling may take its toll!
Sorry to be another nutritionist banging on about protein.. but a breakfast with a good dose from eggs or fish.. nuts, avocados or plain yogurt.

It might not be your thing to have your dinner for breakfast but just try to add in some protein and fibre (nuts, seeds.. fruit) and this will help avoid kicking off the blood sugar rollercoaster first thing.

This involves a bit of time spent thinking about YOU in the morning.. it may feel a bit odd!! But I promise, you won’t regret it.

💧 WATER – Let It Flow (Even the Tears)
There are days when tears fall into your toddler’s half-eaten fish fingers, or the school drop off seems like the world is ending and you both walk away in tears! And that’s okay. Emotions need movement, just like water. Bottling it up? You’ll explode somewhere between Aldi and soft play. Cry, dance, rant to a voice note or call a friend.. I bet they will know exactly how you feel.. Most importantly, try not to keep it inside.. Just like the river, let it flow and move through you.

What’s your go-to release when you’re about to burst?

If we are honest, most of us are running on empty.

Between work, family, and life’s endless to-do list, finding time to focus on you feels impossible, right?

I’ve been there, and I know how hard it is.
That’s why I’ve created Energise & Thrive
a 6-week, self-paced nutrition program designed to fit around your life (not the other way around).

Go at your own pace in this step-by-step online course. No extreme diets. No impossible schedules. Just simple, effective steps to boost your energy, improve your stamina, and help you feel more like yourself again.
Find out more info online or through the link in my bio..

It always means so much when someone takes the time to share kind words about their experience working with me 💚

I know how personal this journey can be, and it’s not always easy to reach out for support, so hearing that something I’ve shared or offered has made a difference fills me with joy.

If you’re curious about what it’s like to work with me, this little testimonial might give you a glimpse. And if it resonates, do get in touch 💫

‘Woo Hoo’ I know I have to preserve my Whoo hoo’s for something special! But this definitely deserves one!

I will let you know how it goes..

Here's me with Melissa from The Academy of Wide-hearted living and Sue from . We're very excited to announce the launch of our brand new 6-week transformation programme.

Hit your fifties and lost your mojo? You’re not alone. Transitioning into retirement, adapting to an empty nest, or perhaps dealing with emerging health issues, can leave you wondering who you are and what on earth comes next.

You don't have to figure it out alone.
