Do you ever find yourself wandering back to the fridge… again?

It’s not just about willpower — there’s often something deeper going on.

If food feels like it’s calling your name all the time, you’re not alone. 💛

That's why I’ve put together a free guide - ‘Why Can’t I Stop Eating?’ to help you understand what’s really happening — and what you can do about it.

If have have spent years at war with yourself and food it probably feels impossible to be able to love you body.

So instead of love let's start with appreciation.

Your body breathes for you.
It carries you through your day.
It lets you hug, laugh, cry, rest and experience life.

To appreciate is a big step.

And that is okay.

Can you believe that there could be a time -

Where you could have biscuits in the cupboard and only eat one.
Your kids can leave ice cream in the freezer without it calling your name.
That boredom doesn’t send you peering into the fridge for “something.”
If this feels impossible right now, I want you to know—it doesn’t have to stay that way. 💛

Whether you struggle with emotional eating or feel stuck in a cycle of disordered eating and binge eating, recovery is possible.

A great first step is my free mini-workbook “Why Can’t I Stop Eating?”—designed to help you explore your relationship with food and see if what I share resonates with you.

You don’t have to do this alone. This could be the start of something different. 🌿

Why Intermittent Fasting May Not Be Right for You

Yes, research shows that a gentle overnight fast of 12–14 hours (think: finishing dinner at 7 pm and having breakfast between 7 and 9 am) can support digestion, blood sugar balance and energy.

But …….this may not be for you if you are in recovery
or when the fasting windows get longer (16, 18, 20+ hours), it can sometimes slip from “health tool” into restriction in disguise.

🚩 If you struggle with:
• Food guilt or fear around eating “too soon”
• Using fasting as a way to earn or burn off food
• Overcompensating at the end of the day → which can lead to bingeing
• A history of eating disorders or disordered eating
…then fasting may be harming your relationship with food more than it helps your health.

Gentle structure is fine. Rigid rules are not.

You deserve a way of eating that supports both your body and your mental wellbeing.

I love to entertain. As an ex-chef, it is just part of my sole.

However, now as a nutritional therapist, when people come to my house they’re often surprised that dessert is still on the table ..... literally.

There’s a common misconception that nutritional therapy is about having a “perfect” diet.

But the truth is: it’s not about perfection. It’s about balance.

All foods can have a place — even dessert.

Nourishment is nutrients.........
But it is also about connection, joy and freedom around food.

Follow along for more hints, tips and thoughts.

Serena Williams’ decision not only to use these medications, but also to promote them.

The fact that one of the most iconic athletes of our time — someone who understands nutrition, exercise and performance better than most — felt the need to turn to GLP-1s is, to me, a sad reflection of today’s society.

Her stated aim was to “destigmatise weight loss injections.”
But wasn’t it weight stigma itself that may have driven her to use them in the first place?

📰 In The Guardian she’s quoted:
“Sometimes people do absolutely everything, and it doesn’t work… I had done the work, and the drug was merely the missing piece.”

But was it really the missing piece? 🤔 Perhaps her body was simply where it was meant to be — genetically, culturally and biologically strong.… and what does that say about the pressure we’re all under?

💜 I want to be clear: I am not against GLP-1s. I work with people both on and off them, and for some they are truly life-changing.

But they are not for everyone. And marketing them as if they are feels deeply uncomfortable.

- Let’s look beyond the glossy campaigns and keep asking: what’s really right for us?

✨ Who shouldn’t join Beyond the Food Noise?

My 1:1 programme is designed to create real change — but it’s not right for everyone.

Here’s when it might not be for you:

🚫 You want a meal plan, calorie targets or food rules
🚫 You want to keep your strict and ridgid food relationship
🚫 You’re happy with your bingeing and food chaos
🚫 You’re looking for a quick fix or short-term motivation that ends up rebounding
🚫 You want someone to tell you exactly what to eat, without looking at why you eat

This isn’t another diet.
This is for people who are tired of diets.
It’s for those ready to understand and solve their food noise.

If you're seeking real, lasting change using a mix of compassionate nutrition and behavioural science, you’ll feel at home here.

But if you're not quite there yet — that’s okay too.

💬 Still unsure? DM me and we can talk it through, or check out my website for more information.

Fibre & Cravings: Why Chia Seeds Might Be Your New Best Friend

Studies show that most people aren’t getting enough fibre and the NHS recommends we aim for 30g a day.

If you often feel hungry or find yourself battling frequent cravings, fibre really is your friend.

Enter chia seeds!
Just 1 tablespoon contains around 5g of fibre. When soaked, chia forms a gel-like texture in the gut and absorbs water — helping you feel fuller for longer.

That said… the texture (some say frogspawn!) isn’t for everyone. If that’s you, try:
👉 Pre-ground chia seeds
👉 Grinding your own in a coffee grinder — just whizz for a few seconds to create a fine powder.

Bonus: ground chia soaks quicker and is easier to digest.

Small tweaks, like adding chia, can make a big difference to how you feel — more satisfied, more energised, and more balanced. 💛

Disclaimer - higher fibre diets do not suit everyone. If you are used to having a lower fibre diet, increase fibre slowly. Start with one teaspoon and see how you go....oh and don't forget to hydrate!

Beyond the Food Noise ✨
A new way to find peace with food.

I’ve known about food noise long before it hit the headlines. That constant mental chatter around food? The guilt, the shame, the frustration when nothing seems to work?

I see you.
And I want you to know — the noise can be quieted.

If you've:
❗ Tried to fix it alone
❗ Felt embarrassed or out of control
❗ Blamed yourself
❗ Been told the answer is medication like Mounjaro...

Then this programme is for you.

Food noise isn’t solved by silencing appetite.
It’s solved by understanding what’s driving the noise — emotionally, physically, and behaviourally.

In Beyond the Food Noise, I guide you gently back to peaceful eating. We use a blend of nutrition + behaviour change to create real, lasting freedom.

No shame. No quick fixes.
Just a calm, supportive path to food peace.
