Right folks ..... I promised to share this recipe which is a Christmas twist on the standard banana bread, because let's face it.... those brown sad bananas don't disappear just because it's Christmas!

Get a taste of Christmas with the orange and cranberries added to this banana bread.

Delicious when straight out the oven with a dollop of cream cheese or a spread of butter!

Let me know if you give it a go!

Ok, I know it's not even Christmas yet, so forgive me for talking about January already, but I am so excited about an upcoming workshop I am running in January.

For so many of us food can feel stressful, overwhelming, or emotional. And very often for reasons we don’t even fully understand.

If you are constantly thinking, “I know what I should eat… so why is it so hard to make the right choice?” or wonder "why does everyone else seem to have a much easier, more effortless relationship with food?" then this workshop could be for you!

This Workshop "Eating with Ease" is designed to help begin the new year with a fresh look as we explore:

🍽️What shapes our eating habits and our relationship with food
🤤The impact of appetite and cravings
😊Skills to develop a healthy relationship with food
🧠Mindful eating

Let me know if you want to come along and I'll send you the booking details!

Let's shift the narrative of January being a time to start a new diet to a time to build habits that last a lifetime and give you a positive relationship with food!

Just the thought of food around the holidays is enough for some of us to feel anxious! 🥺

Especially if you are trying to heal your relationship with food, stick to nutrition goals for fertility or PCOS management or even just eat well!

It's no surprise really as this time of the year means:
🎄An abundance of food everywhere
🤶 Mindless grazing
🍗 High stress moments and emotional eating
🥧 Food guilt

If all of this resonates with you then head to the blog for lots of tips on how to navigate food over the holidays without too much stress!

So it's December and although we've had a few bugs around here, I haven't quite caught the Christmas fever yet! 🎄🤒

With lots going on with work, marking exams, prepping for new years projects, and of course Christmas fairs, gifts to buy and the day to day organisation that is always there.... is it just me or is anyone else feeling behind with all the jobs still to do before the holidays?!

As if there isn't enough stress already with all of this, the holiday can be such a challenging time when it comes to eating, especially if you have a complex relationship with food. 🍗

The family dinners, friends get togethers and work parties, all centred around food and drink, can be a real trigger for overeating and can lead to increased feelings of guilt and anxiety. 🥺😩

Well, if this is you then head over to the blog as I have written a piece to help get you through the silly season and all the ups and downs it brings!

How to you cope with all the food stress around the holidays?? Let me know 👇

So many of my clients have a deep belief that the size of their body defines their health and their beauty.

⚖️BMI is rubbish at determining how healthy we are as individuals. It was never designed to measure health. Nor was it designed to be used in individuals.

As many people with PCOS are overweight, they are often faced with weight stigma, and this, along with their PCOS symptoms, can have an impact on their body image.

📑A recent paper explored body image in people with PCOS and those without, and it is clear to see that those with PCOS experience more significant body image concerns than those without.

We still need more research to explore why this is the case, but from working with hundreds of people with PCOS I know that some of the influencing factors include: the type of care they receive, whether they face weight stigma, if they are given unhelpful advice like 'just lose weight' or 'just cut carbs', if they are made to feel blamed for their condition, if they experience symptoms like hirsutism or infertility - these all make a difference to their body dissatisfaction and self esteem.

The way we see our own body and what we believe others think of our body can have a huge impact on our day to day lives. If these thoughts are negative then this negative body image is often rooted in a belief that we are not good enough, healthy enough, beautiful enough as we are.

But health and beauty have nothing to do with size. ❤️

November is mens mental health awareness month and as we have just been talking all things men's fertility I thought it was a good opportunity to talk about how one affects the other!

Well, men's fertility has been changing over the years with a major review finding that s***m counts have dropped by more than 50% in the last 40 years worldwide.

We know that common lifestyle habits; like stress, smoking, poor diet, lack of sleep and alcohol can significantly lower s***m quality.

But the emotional impact of experiencing infertility is often unrecognised, yet a recent analysis found that 1 in 5 men (21.37%) experiencing infertility show symptoms of anxiety.

We often talk about the impact of infertility on women and their mental health - going through self-blame, guilt and shame, the process of IVF or egg retrieval etc etc. But somehow the impact on men often goes under the radar.

Whatever they are going through at the moment, why not check in on the men in your life this

It makes my day when I get feedback like this from my clients....

"I could not recommend Claire enough. I have PCOS and was struggling with fertility and Claire helped me introduce small changes to my diet and lifestyle that really helped me.

Claire's approach I found to be both informative but also calming, which is exactly what I needed, as I was feeling overwhelmed with all the different advice and information out there.

Huge thank you to you Claire."

One of the lesser known impacts of menopause is bone loss.

Oestrogen plays a role in bone breakdown and formation which build bustle density and strength. When we go into perimenopause and post menopause, when our oestrogen levels drop, we see a much faster rate of bone density loss as bone breakdown exceeds bone formation. This can be a loss of up to 20% of bone density!!

This means our bones become fragile and more inclined to fracture, as we are at increased risk of osteoporosis

The good news is we don't have to just accept this decline in our bone health. Whether we chose to use HRT or not, we can focus on ways to optimise our bone health through lifestyle changes like:

🦴 weight-bearing exercise,
🥛 ensuring adequate calcium intake
☀️ optimising vitamin D intake,
🚭 avoiding smoking and
🍷 minimising alcohol.

What do you do everyday to protect your bone health?
