Marrakesh. A dose of adventure
The unfamiliar, an attack on the senses, a touch of ‘edge’, time with my girl …
And here we are, exploring pastures new …. Simple foods, Moroccan tagine, dipping the toe into sweets of the souk, Sahara tea, dodging the mopeds, retreating to the Riad tiled in all it’s stunning glory, sunsets against the Atlas Mountains, card games til our eye lids droop ..
Slowing down, appreciating that rare commodity .. time

Menu curation and creation …
Truly loved working on this event last month
Designing and creating plant-based menus with a Blue Zones style for groups of diners to connect over delicious food … one of the many plates I spin, and one of my favourite.
This menu had wonderful supplements woven in to elevate the experience … organic extra virgin olive oil and apple cider vinegar with turmeric and honey by , Alma juice which was mixed into a delicious mocktail and supergreens powder by .
All products available
Love to talk through what makes a menu so ‘longevity’ focussed so we all leave with the tools to bring this to life in our everyday food prep.
If you’d like to talk through bringing a similar dining experience to your own home / event - drop me a message ..

As women, we have such a significantly higher exposure to synthetic chemicals than men. And with studies confirming the link between exposure to Endocrine Disrupting Hormones and conditions such as fibroids, endometriosis and fertility problems it’s certainly an area we need to be aware of.
These chemicals are found in lotions, shampoos, household cleaning products, adhesives (nail and eyelash glue), sunscreens and fragrances including home scents such as plug in air fresheners and some candles. This list is far from complete.
On Saturday fabulous event in London I talked this topic through, hypothesising - based on science - that high exposure may well be linked to the fact that of the reported cases of Alzheimer’s in the UK 65% of these are female. With the reduction of oestrogen (which protects the brain) midlife, does modern day living create a perfect storm for women?
Let’s not panic but take the reins and work on two things … reducing exposure and supporting our own internal anti-oxidant systems.
5 ideas to start with -
- beauty products swaps - choose products which are as pure as possible (I’ll be posting ideas on this)
- avoid drinking from a plastic bottle, buy a stainless steel one
- consider whether the use of glue on nail beds and eyelids is worth the risk
- check your sunscreen use & select products low in problematic chemicals
- avoid the use of make up removal wipes, nothing like a face cloth and plain water
We also need to ensure, if we have high exposure to synthetic chemicals ( perhaps due to occupational exposure) that we support our own natural system of detoxification which was not designed for modern day toxic load.
Get in touch if you’d like to talk this through. Particularly relevant from middle age when our protective mechanisms do not work as optimally as they did in earlier years … hence why alcohol consumption and hangovers feels so much different as we age. Similarly, we do not metabolise any chemicals as well as we did.

A great day to celebrate how much has been achieved in a lifetime …
A celebration which dates back to the early 1900’s global suffragette movement … so grateful to these women who bravely stood strong
And let’s remember that before 1975 women needed their husband’s signature to secure a loan or mortgage
Women in Switzerland were only granted the vote in 1971
And it wasn’t until 2018 that in Saudi Arabia women were finally allowed to legally drive
Just a few of a staggering amount of gender inequality moments that help us to remember how entrenched inequality is … historically but also within living memory
Grateful to live and work in a world of women - the wellness world - rich with female founders, brand owners and creators. Women backing women. Women building businesses. Women shaping their own paths.
So today I’m celebrating every woman who steps out, pushes the boundaries of expectation, backs herself and supports the women around her.
And perhaps most importantly- the women showing the next generation how to stride forward with confidence, independence and courage … and keeps setting the pace of possibility.

As women, on average we use around 12-14 different beauty and hygiene products daily including home and body fragrances, sunscreens, nail and eyelash glues, menstrual care, make up wipes … the list goes on. And then there’s the issue of cleaning products which add to the load.
Today I had the pleasure to talk Endocrine Disrupting chemicals event in London with
We talked through what the research tells us about certain synthetic chemicals included in these products and how they disrupt the body.
From fibroids and endometriosis to fertility issues, there are studies which link chemicals such as phthalates and parabens to these conditions.
And then there’s cognitive decline … 65% of Alzheimer’s diagnoses in the UK are female. Why the disproportionate ratio and can the two facts be linked?
What we know is that women have high exposure to synthetic chemicals and as we cruise past the menopause, with the dip in oestrogen, reduced mitochondrial efficiency and less endogenous anti-oxidant capacity … we are more vulnerable to high chemical exposure.
Nothing to panic about. But great to have this knowledge and act on it - never too early to start reducing exposure.
5 point Checklist:

- choose products which are as natural as possible
- avoid face wipes … face cloth and plain water works wonders
- choose a stainless steel water bottle over plastic
- question whether glue on your nail beds or eyes is worth the risk
- Rénove plug in air fresheners or toxin candles, swap with naturopathic room sprays
There are so many ways to lighten the load. We live in a toxic environment but let’s take control and dampen exposure step by step … would love to hear the swaps you’ve made in your life.

Back story
Today I snatched a few hours talking through longevity for a podcast series with the wonderful Justin - founder of - one of my fave wellness destinations with a dear place in my heart.
He asked what led to my fascination with longevity. And I found myself revisiting a chapter i usually talk through in the ‘past tense’ … neatly resolved, filed away.
16 years ago, after a period of illness, a diagnosis- a benign tumour on my pituitary gland, nudged closely to my optic nerve. ‘You could wake up blind any day’ were the words of the surgeon as he talked through the surgical procedures and the radiotherapy to follow.
I’ve told this story many times without flinching. But today it moved me. Not to tears. But close. Maybe it was the space. Maybe it was the incredible level of empathy in the room. Maybe it’s just Friday and I’m tired. Or maybe trauma just doesnt disappear - it hides in the corner and resurfaces unexpectedly at times even after physical healing.
Grateful for conversations that reminds us why we do what we do. Why we decide to take the reins of our own health journey, why we dedicate time to helping others understand their own wellness needs and why everyday is special.
A heartfelt Friday … it’s left me with a Happy buzz for the weekend, and even more joy and enthusiasm for creating positive wellness events, hosting Longevity talks, and spreading the word ❤️
Wishing you a nourishing weekend full of laughter and huge thanks to Justin for a fascinating convo and a truly tasty lunch 🙌🏼
