"Engineered to encourage addiction and consumption" A new report published by the BMA, Improving the nation’s health: the impact of ultra-processed food, highlights that the UK’s current approach to regulating, producing, marketing, and distributing food is failing to protect public health. Ultra-processed foods are industrially manufactured products containing ingredients and additives rarely found in home cooking and are typically low in nutrients.

UPFs are made to encourage addiction and consumption and should be regulated like to***co, say researchers

A growing body of research continues to explore how nutrition influences not just how long we live — but how well we age. A recent publication in the The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition adds an important piece to that conversation.
Drawing from data within the VITamin D and OmegA-3 TriaL (VITAL), researchers followed more than 1,000 adults over four years to investigate whether vitamin D₃ or marine omega-3 supplementation could slow telomere shortening — a key marker of biological aging.

This stewed apple recipe is based on Ayurvedic principals. Not only is it highly nutritious and an ideal breakfast dish, but the fiber, pectin, found in the apple skins may help to maintain and repair the intestinal mucosa lining in the gut. I often suggest this as a simple but effective recipe to help clients who have sensitive gut or need microbiome support.

Want to help and support your gut bacteria? Stewed apples are rich in soluble fibre food that your microbes will love.

Gluten Free Grød Recipe and Nisse the Nordic porridge guardian!

In Nordic folklore, the Nisse is a household spirit or protective farm help. To keep the Nisse content — and the household protected — a bowl of porridge (grød) was traditionally left out, especially at Christmas. If the porridge was forgotten, or prepared carelessly, the nisse might cause trouble and mischief; if it was made properly, harmony was maintained.

Inspired by this tale I am sharing a grød recipe using gluten-free grains and a balanced macronutrient composition, including protein and healthy fats, to support satiety and blood sugar regulation. The result is a warm, easily digestible meal that provides sustained energy - don't forget to leave some out the Nisse!

Delciously simple and nutritious, try my porridge recipe that will keep you full and nourished until lunchtime.

A new report reveals that synthetic chemicals used throughout our food system — pesticides, phthalates, bisphenols and PFAS — are driving a massive global health burden. These chemicals have been linked to hormone disruption, fertility issues, cancer and developmental problems.
As a nutritionist, I see every day how reducing toxic load supports better energy, hormone balance and long-term wellbeing. While we need system-wide change, here’s what you can do right now:
Easy ways to lower your toxic exposure:

Choose whole, minimally processed foods more often
Pick organic when you can, and wash conventional produce well
Use glass/steel instead of plastic for food storage
Avoid heating food in plastic
Remove plastic wrappings from fruit and vegetables.
Limit canned and heavily packaged foods
Support the liver (our natural detox organ) naturally with fibre-rich, nutrient-dense meals
Avoid fake fragrance in the home (candles, washing powder, fabric softeners, plug in smells)
Wear natural fibres, cotton, wool!
Small changes really do add up!

Scientists issue urgent warning about chemicals, found to cause cancer and infertility as well as harming environment
