Over exercising and your hormones

Exercuse can be wondeful for regulation. But if you're body can't tell the difference between exercising and being chased, it's going to act like its being chased by a bear.

If you are already stressed physicallybor emoyionally, high intensity exercise can feel overwhelming to your body.

It will change how you use insulin, how you ovulate, how you digest and how you store fat anf make muscle.

If you are working on your relationship with food or working on a specfic health goal, this time of year can be tricky.

Food noise, food guilt and pressure to be 'normal' can be loud right now.

Christmas parties and get togethers can feel overwhelming.

Taking a big picture or helicopter view helps. Zoom out and look at it in context.

No you haven't "blown it".

Focus on the data, the observations, try to find the neutral objective view.

And if this doesn't apply to you...

Be sound to the people around you 🎅

Don't comment on their food choices (or life chocies) this Christmas season.

Regularly hit by the 3pm slump?

Feeling tired after eating is a sign that your body is struggling to break down food.

Common causes

- low stomach acid
- low digestive enzymes
- food intolerances / allergies
- not enough gut bacteria
- poor motility

Start by chewing your food, slowing down your pace of eating. Add probiotic rich fermented foods and zinc, magnesium rich foods.

And if you're still stuggling with fatigue or bloating, consider testing!

Someone nominated me 😮

I’m so delighted to be nominated for The Club Women’s Network Awards 2025 in the Most Positive Impact category.

My work has always been about helping people feel better in themselves, with their health, their energy, and their everyday life. To have that seen and recognised in this way feels really special.

A big thank you to the person who took the time to nominate me 💛💛

Honest + Goodness Nutrition

Hi! I’m Claire O’Brien, owner of Honest + Goodness Nutrition. I am a nutritional therapist specialising in heart and digestive health.

It breaks my heart when people tell me they have almost entirely given up trying to be healthy or that they have spent weeks, months or even years beating themselves up for not doing the ‘right things’.

I love helping people to reclaim their health and get to a place where they feel confident, energised and in control of their health.

When we work together, I will start by asking you questions, find out what is going in your tests (if available) and talk through your day to day life to see how a nutrition and lifestyle programme fits.
