I love the festive season. Like seriously love it. Baby Jesus, chocolate yule logs, log fires and feasting. I am SUCH a fan of feasting! And I am pretty unashamed of talking about it this early. If like me you are hosting 15+ folk for Christmas dinner then you...
I have been obsessed with this smoothie for the past week. A sudden obsessed with cherries has overtaken me. Not sure why as it's not cherry season but I did only just discover that Sainsbury's sells them in the frozen section so #lifewins Plus I am in a long...
Today we are taking a dive into one of my favourite organs, the liver (and yes I really do have favourite organs I am a full on health geek!). We are going to look at what the liver does and some foods that you can eat to support optimal liver...
You may or may not know this about me... but I get really excited about helping people heal their bodies, eat some freaking cake and feel awesome in the skin they are in. Why? Because I feel like I have spent most of my own life struggling with my body....
This is a topic I have wanted to write about for ages and I will warn you I have a bee in my bonnet about it so I'll try to keep the ranting to a minimum..... It is a hugely important topic. Especially in this culture of fat-phobia and judgment...
I thought it was time for a bit of an update on my own health journey as it has been about 5-6 months since I shared my latest 'installment'. So if you didn't catch the last update you can click here to read it. I wanted to cover what I have been doing,...
Today we are talking about a lifestyle and dietary approach that I use myself and with some of my clients, that is all about the FAT. It is the basis for my group coaching program the Flourish Academy, I used it with many of my one to one clients (but not all...
Its time for some real, juicy and balls to the wall honest, talk. (I am not sure that is even a phrase but hey-ho!) I have steered clear from talking lots about weight loss, to be honest. Partly because I don't want to encourage the 'thinner is better'...
We have all been there. Your smartphone starts behaving weirdly. Does crazy things and stops allowing you to phone people. Or maybe it's your tablet and all of a sudden it no longer works. Well, this has happened to be on multiple occasions and I always...
So we are in a mini blog series where we are looking at the thyroid. This juicy gland sits in your neck and impacts your health massively. If you missed the previous posts catch up below: Is Your Thyroid Ruining Your Energy, Libido & Weight? How Do...
Overweight, tired, sluggish, cold and a tad depressed? Then lovely, it might be worth checking in with your thyroid. It is something I talk to with about 50% of my one to one clients as I think it is way more prevalent than we think. But...
This recipe and post is really an ode to the humble linseed (or flaxseed if you're from across the pond). And a confessional, about my recent desire bread. In fact, at the weekend I was craving a crisp sandwich. I kid you not. So I grabbed a...
When it comes to genetics and our health people tend to be in one of three camps: 1 - they are terrified because their relative had/has cancer/diabetes/heart disease and they are certain they will end up the same 2 - they are blissfully unaware of how...
Thyroid function is something that comes up all the time with my one to one clients. And it's something I have faced some massive frustrations with in regards to my own health journey, so *warning* I am going to get geeky and ranty about this one! I...
I have been talking a lot about poo recently (haha let's get real, I talk about it ALL the time!). After last week's post, I got various emails from people who were struggling with constipation and I have just finished working with a few one...
