Why "Balancing Your Blood Sugar" Is a Health Non-Negotiable ⬇️
We hear the term "blood sugar" a lot, but what does it really mean to keep it balanced?

Think of it as the fuel gauge for your body. When it's balanced, your body gets a slow, steady supply of energy. When it's unbalanced, it's like flooring the gas and then slamming on the brakes. 🚗💥

This constant up-and-down (a "blood sugar spike and crash") is exhausting.

But when you focus on keeping it stable, your body thanks you in so many ways:

-You'll be able to ditch the 3 PM slump. Instead of needing a nap, you have steady energy to power through your day.

-Your mind feels sharp. Brain fog lifts because your brain gets the consistent fuel it needs.

-Cravings disappear. When your body isn't crashing, it stops sending desperate "EAT SUGAR NOW!" signals.

-Your hormones are happier. Unstable blood sugar can throw other hormones (like cortisol, your stress hormone) out of whack. Balancing it helps create harmony.

-Long-term health protection. This is the big one! Stable blood sugar is one of the best ways to reduce your risk of chronic inflammation, type 2 diabetes, and heart disease.

Ready to get off the rollercoaster? It's simpler than you think. Focus on adding, not just taking away:

Add protein & fat to every meal (especially breakfast!).

Add fiber (veggies, beans, whole grains).

Add movement (a 10-min walk after meals does wonders!).

Which of these benefits would make the biggest difference for you? Let me know! Like this post if you're ready to ditch the energy crashes!

Hello start of the week! Maybe some of you need to here this, especially if you are 'starting again on Monday'. Negative self talk can be a real set back, I am sure everyone has experienced this, I know it too well. It causes self limiting beliefs.
But I am here to say no matter what goals you want to achieve, start with changing your mindset. Change starts here. You have to be your own best friend, you have to tell yourself how much you LOVE YOU, how much you CAN achieve what you want to achieve.
Visualize your success, even if you are not the type of person to write you goals down. Visualization can be the most powerful tool you have. Sometimes you don't know how you may achieve something but you can keep visualizing it.
I have put together a Visualization Guide that is full of research and tips to help you get into the right mindset. If you feel this would be helpful, comment MINDSET and Il send it to you :)
You got this!

Some mid week inspiration!
Chopped peanuts are very cost effective and can make for a tasty gluten free crumb for your chicken or fish. If you want to go one step further, you can also grind up some seeds like sesame, linseed, pumpkin, or more heart healthy nuts like walnuts.

It is really easy to make and you can serve this with some stirfry vegetables like bok choy, roasted vegetables or slice up and have over a salad!

Save this post for when you need some inspiration!

Ever feel like you want to be consistent but can't make it stick? The secret might be a simple habit tracker.

Why it works:

Motivation: Seeing a streak grow is addictive! 🤩

Awareness: You see exactly where your time and energy go.

Accountability: The tracker doesn't lie. (You just have to be abit disciplined to write things down at times)

Quick Dos & Don'ts:

DO: 👍 Be specific (e.g., Aim for 2L water per day, rather than 'drink more'. 👍 Start ridiculously small. 👍 Celebrate your progress, not just perfection.

DON'T: 👎 Overwhelm yourself by tracking everything. 👎 Beat yourself up over a missed day. (It happens!) 👎 Just track—take 60 seconds to reflect on why you did or didn't do the habit. Reviews are really good even if its confronting. The only reason my habits are where they are today, is about constant reviewing of my habits or actions. What worked, what didn't, how did it make me feel?

Do you guys track your meals, exercise, emotions? Let me know in the comments. How does it work for you ?

Meet Murray! He is has a lot to be smiling for! This is us last week when we got his bloods back after our 12 week programme. Often my clients don' t feel comfortable sharing before vs after shots and for many, it isn't just bout the weight loss, it is about feeling better and reducing many health risks.
Murray had high PSA levels (prostate-specific antigen), a higher concentration of a protein produced by the prostate gland, which can mean inflammation/ higher risk of prostate cancer. High uric acid levels so increased risk of gout. Re-occuring sinus infections and chronic hayfever, which he was taking many medications for and had numerous rounds of antibiotics.
Is on BP medication, has elevated blood sugar levels, high visceral fat and felt tired all the time!
He also ate well fairly well but he couldn't get his weight down. So after an indepth review, and personalized action plan that accounted for blood pressure, low purine foods for his uric acid levels, anti inflammatory foods and high magnesium foods for his BP and to get his PSA levels down. Provided some specific supplements, Tweaked his diet and the way he ate....

12 weeks later...
-12kgs down, can fit his clothes again!
-Has more energy!
-Off his hayfever medications
-PSA levels are back in normal range
-Uric acid levels dropped considerably and are almost back in normal range
-Visceral fat down
-Joints feeling better
-More active
-BP is excellent

He is feeling that life is getting easier!

Murray is continuing on till end of the year as wants to keep going with the coaching.
Accountability and the knowledge and the check ins help keep you on track. Keep you motivated.

So if your hubby, dad or partner needs a health kick, get in touch. Men don't always reach out for help but often silent conditions can be a killer.
Always happy to discuss options with them :)

Tiredness isn’t a personality trait! If you’ve been saying ‘I’m just always tired,’ it’s time to rewrite that story. Fatigue isn’t who you are, it’s a sign your body needs support. Your energy isn’t gone, it’s just buried under stress and survival mode.

You can absolutely feel vibrant again! Your body is working hard through hormonal changes, and it needs kindness, not criticism. When you start listening to what it’s asking for, everything shifts. Once you calm your nervous system and feed your body properly, that energy starts to rise again.
Do get bloods done as a starting point like ferritin, B12, TSH (thyroid), Vitamin D. You would be amazed how many women I see that are in the bottom quarter and living off fumes.
Get in touch if you want me to review your bloods for you.
Comment YES if you are ready to uncover your energy again!
Share with a friend if they need are consistently saying they're tired!

Feeling like you're running on empty? 😴 Is anxiety suddenly your new co-pilot? Waking up at 3 AM for a party in your head that you didn't RSVP to?

You're not going crazy, and you're not alone. It might be perimenopause.

For too long, we've been told this is just something to "get through." But what if this transition is actually an invitation? An invitation to tune into your body, listen to its signals, and learn how to nourish it on a deeper level.

Many of these disruptive symptoms are your body's way of asking for support. And the incredible news is that you hold the power to provide it. You can reclaim your energy, calm your mind, and feel vibrant in your own skin again through simple, natural shifts in nutrition, stress management, and movement. By focusing on balancing blood sugar, supporting your nervous system, and reducing inflammation with whole foods and mindful practices, you can dramatically soften these symptoms. You have more control than you've been led to believe.

This isn't about fading away. This is about stepping into your power. ✨

Brain fog. Mood swings. Stubborn belly fat. Feeling more irritable or exhausted by the end of the day?

Sound familiar? It’s not just “getting older.” It’s likely your hormones shifting during perimenopause.

But here’s the secret: This doesn't have to be your new normal. Your body is incredibly resilient and has an amazing capacity to heal and rebalance when given the right tools. You don't just have to survive this phase—you can THRIVE.
Let's reframe the narrative around perimenopause. It's not an ending. It's a powerful biological shift that asks us to evolve how we care for ourselves.

The sudden anxiety, the sleep disruption, the mental fog—these aren't personal failings. They are signals from a body working hard to find a new equilibrium.

And you can work with your body, not against it.
You have more control than you've been led to believe.
This next chapter can be your most powerful yet!
