This month is Menopause Awareness Month and World Menopause Day takes place on October 18.

If you’re approaching menopause, keeping an eye on your hormone and nutrient levels is really important in order to make sure your body is ready when it hits. You can do this via blood testing, which I’m able to help you with.

Did you know, I run regular phlebotomy/blood draw clinics on Tuesday mornings in Milton, Weston-super-Mare?

Book a free 30-minute consultation with me to discuss your needs and how the process works: https://www.yumnutrition.org/consultations/phlebotomy-blood-draw-options/

5 heart-loving habits you can start today in celebration of World Heart Day:

Healthy fats - avocados, olive oil, nuts and seeds should be prominent in your diet over processed fats

Eat your greens - leafy veg such as spinach, kale and rocket are rich in nitrates and great for healthy blood flow

Omega-3 - found in oily fish such as salmon and mackerel, they help reduce inflammation

Antioxidants - build up on the berries and fruits to help fight oxidative stress

Watch the salt intake - excess sodium can increase your blood pressure. Use herbs and spices for flavour instead.

Show your heart some love with the right foods to support cardiovascular health.

Small changes make a big difference and your heart works hard for you every second of every day, so it’s important to repay the favour.

3 things to AVOID if you’re trying to balance your hormones…

If your hormones are all out of sync, it’s hard to know what to do for the best. Here’s 3 definite no-nos:

Skipping healthy fats - your body needs healthy fats such as avocados, olive oil and nuts. Low-fat diets can actually be more of a hindrance.

Too much caffeine - excess caffeine can spike cortisol and throw your hormones even further out of sync, so avoid that second (or third) cup of coffee.

Ignoring sleep - when you’re asleep, your body is actually doing its hormone-balancing thing, so ensure you’re getting plenty of it. There is no supplement that can replace good-quality sleep.

If you want to delve a bit deeper into your hormones, then book in for a free consultation and we can have a chat. https://www.yumnutrition.org/consultations/book-a-consultation/.

When we start working together, weight loss might be the initial goal, but often, there’s so much more beneath the surface. Mental blocks, old habits, and hidden challenges can stand in the way of real progress.

It’s not just about what you eat, it’s about healing your relationship with yourself and your body. If you’re feeling stuck or overwhelmed, I’m here to help you unlock what’s holding you back.

I offer a free consultation where we can get together and discuss what you’re needing help with https://www.yumnutrition.org/consultations/book-a-consultation/.

The biggest LIES on the internet about… menopause!

The internet is awash with misinformation, especially when it comes to the menopause, so as a trusted expert, I’m here to tell you the TRUTH about a few things…

Menopause only happens in your 50s/60s - WRONG. While the average age for menopause is 51, it can most certainly occur earlier in those who are in their 40s and in some cases, 30s.

Menopause is just ‘hot flashes’ - WRONG. Hot flashes are one of the most common symptoms, but the menopause encompasses a whole range of physical and emotional changes.

No more risk of getting pregnant - WRONG. During the perimenopausal transition, there is absolutely still a risk of pregnancy, even with irregular periods.

It’s the end of your s*x life - WRONG. S*x doesn’t have to stop. Address physical symptoms such as vaginal dryness and keep communicating with your partner.

If what you’re seeing online is confusing, then drop me a DM to book a chat or find out how we can work together to make the transition smoother, supported, and empowering for you.

B Vitamins play a vital role in generally keeping your body working as it should.

They can help reduce fatigue, improve skin, hair and nails, improve brain function and digestion and also play a part in helping to regulate and produce hormones.

They really are all round hard workers!

So, here are 5 foods that are excellent sources of B vitamins to help keep you feeling your very best!

Salmon is high in vitamin B12 as well as multiple other B vitamins. Vitamin B12 is a vital part in producing red blood cells and assists with healthy brain function. A 100g portion of salmon will give you over 100% of your recommended daily intake.

Edamame beans are high in vitamin B9, also known as folate in its natural form, or folic acid in its synthetic version. This vitamin plays a crucial role in cell development and could also help to reduce your risk of stroke and dementia.

Eggs are bursting with just about every B vitamin there is! They are particularly high in vitamin B5 which helps with the digestion of carbohydrate and fat for energy, as well as helping to make blood cells.

Spinach is high in vitamin B9 (folate) and B2 which helps to break down the food we eat for energy and maintain energy supplies in the body. Vitamin B2 is also thought to have a role in helping to prevent migraines.

Yoghurt, as well as most other forms of dairy, are excellent sources of B vitamins, particularly B2, B5 and B12.

In my latest blog post I’m talking about all things thyroid.

Did you know, your thyroid is a small but powerful butterfly-shaped gland that plays a vital role in your overall health and hormone balance?

Located in the neck, it produces essential hormones, primarily triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4) that regulate metabolism, growth, and energy levels.

When thyroid function is out of balance, it can affect everything from energy, body temperature, mood, weight, sleep and digestion.

The good news? A simple blood test can reveal how well your thyroid is working, which can pick up subtle signs of dysregulation, often before symptoms become noticeable.

Many people use September as a time to start afresh, so now is the time to focus on yourself, get back on track and make yourself a priority again.

If you struggle with knowing how to effectively nourish your body with nutrition, or simply just need a kick start to get you back into the routine after a long summer focusing on everything but your own health, then get in touch or book a free consultation call via https://www.yumnutrition.org/consultations/book-a-consultation/.

As autumn is fast approaching, the window for creating your own vitamin D from the sun is slowly drawing to a close, so now is the perfect time to get your levels tested.

They should be at their highest around now, so with testing, we can work out how much you’ll need to supplement over the winter months.

I run regular phlebotomy/blood draw clinics in Milton, Weston-super-Mare on Tuesday mornings, so why not book in and make this month the month you start looking after you. https://www.yumnutrition.org/consultations/phlebotomy-blood-draw-options/

It’s nearly that time of the year again…back to school.

A lot of people treat it as another ‘New Year’, and as a nutritional therapist, I see it as the opportune time to rebuild nourishing food habits that might have slipped over the summer, reset your sleep routines, support your immunity and simply get back to those good old routines.

If your mind and body are craving a reset, now is the perfect time to check in, take stock and start making small changes.
