Today was interesting.
I popped into Slimming World to hand out some leaflets for the Health & Wellness testing i offer.
Whilst Iâm genuinely grateful that I was allowed to do so, I was also told that I wouldnât be permitted to give a talk because it goes against Slimming Worldâs policy.
Why? Because they donât want people hearing that there are other ways â deeper ways â to gain clarity about whatâs actually happening in the body, beyond what they are teaching.
Shortly after, I was approached and asked if I would hand out Slimming World leaflets in my class. I declined.
Not out of disrespect â but out of integrity.
I donât agree with whatâs being taught. I donât agree with surface-level solutions, ultra-processed foods being promoted as âhealthy,â or systems that keep people returning year after year without lasting results.
Many people have been attending these groups for years. If it truly worked long-term, they wouldnât need to keep going back â whether thatâs because the weight returns or simply for the sense of connection.
What I also donât agree with is the quiet shame so many people feel walking into spaces like this â the weigh-ins, the comparisons, the fear of judgement, the unspoken message that their body is somehow failing.
Health should never be rooted in shame.
I was then told by someone that they âdonât believe in what I doâ â despite not knowing the full extent of my work â while standing in front of me clearly needing support, yet asking me to advocate for a system that plainly isnât working for them.
I donât work with willpower.
I donât work with food rules or restriction.
I donât work from belief systems or opinions.
I work with the nervous system.
I work with the bodyâs signals.
I work with root causes, regulation, and reconnection.
I donât teach people how to fight their bodies.
I teach them how to understand and feel safe within them.
I wonât promote something I donât align with â especially when my work is about compassion, sustainability, and long-term change.
This is about integrity.
And I will always stand by the work I do.
This was me years ago â riddled with chronic illness, disabled, and the biggest I had ever been in my entire life. Six years ago, after a near-death experience, I changed everything. No Slimming World. No slimming pills. No fat jabs. Just real work: trauma release, shadow work, nutrition, supplements, breathwork, and fitness. And here I am today â not shrinking, not chasing numbers, but still taking care of myself inside and out. This is what real, sustainable results look like.
Only way to get real results is by doing the real work!!!
