Counting calories… helpful or harmful?

I break it down to give a different perspective, this might change how you think about your nutrition.

When used appropriately, supplements can support overall health but context and individual need remain essential.

Here are a few more commonly used options:

Bone Broth — 7/10
A supportive addition for gut health, providing amino acids like glycine and collagen. Best used as part of a broader, balanced approach.

Multivitamins — 8/10
Can be beneficial where nutrient gaps exist, particularly during periods of increased demand. Quality and formulation are key.

Detox Teas — 3/10
Often marketed for quick results, but the body already has highly effective detoxification systems. These are rarely necessary and may not address underlying imbalances.

A targeted, personalised approach will always be more effective than a generalised one.

If you’re unsure what your body truly needs, I encourage a more individualised assessment.

Your body is always communicating with you, through energy, cravings, mood and even fatigue.

Take a moment to check in…
How are you really feeling today?

No judgement, just awareness. That’s where real, sustainable health begins.

Not all supplements are created equal and not every supplement is appropriate for every individual.

Here are a few commonly discussed supplements and how Sue rates them:

Ashwagandha — 10/10
A well-researched adaptogen that may support stress resilience, adrenal balance and nervous system regulation when used appropriately.

Creatine — 7/10
Often associated with sports performance, but it also has emerging benefits for muscle health, cognitive function and energy metabolism.

Electrolytes — 8/10
Helpful for hydration, particularly during periods of stress, intense exercise, illness, or when mineral balance is compromised.

Remember, supplements should support a well-structured nutrition and lifestyle plan, not replace it.

If you’re unsure which supplements are appropriate for you, personalised guidance is key, get in touch!

Matcha is often marketed as a “healthier coffee” but like most things in nutrition, context matters.

It can offer antioxidants and more balanced energy for some people, while others may find it affects sleep, anxiety or iron levels.

Nutrition is never one-size-fits-all. What supports one body may not suit another and that’s where personalised guidance makes the difference.

I’ve been a practicing dietitian since 2000, and my approach has always been the same: evidence-based, functional and deeply personalised.
I look beyond the symptoms to understand what your body truly needs, so we can address the root cause, not just the quick fix.

Back to school means busy mornings, packed lunchboxes and hungry little tummies.

These Sultana & Coconut Bliss Balls are a great snack option, which are:
✔ Naturally sweet (no added refined sugar)
✔ Easy to prep ahead
✔ Lunchbox-friendly
✔ Great for after-school energy

Made with simple ingredients, they provide a balance of carbohydrates and healthy fats to help keep kids satisfied between meals, without the sugar crash.

Prep a batch on Sunday, pop them in the fridge, and you’re set for the week.

Myth:
Your liver, kidneys, lungs and gut are already working 24/7 to detox your body, no special teas or extreme diets needed.

January isn’t about undoing December… it’s about getting back into gentle, sustainable habits that support your body naturally:
- More fibre
- Plenty of hydration
- Balanced meals
- Consistent sleep
- Daily movement

Your body doesn’t need a detox, it needs consistency.
If you want help getting back into a routine that actually works, contact me and let’s build it together.
