I HAVE BEEN PRETTY RUBBISH AT THIS.
Right now for me i have just realised I am tired and haven’t had a holiday since Christmas 🤦‍♀️
So things have felt hard.
And this week things have felt tiring - even though I am ovulating and should be riding an energy high. BIG sign for me to rest and slow down.
And that is ok.
It’s ok to be tired.
Ok to be finding life hard.
Well - I am learning to be ok with it 🤣
So this is a reminder to myself and to you.
Self-care, as much as you might cringe at the word, is ONLY something you can do. No one else can do this for you.
It's your job, your responsibility to have boundaries, rest, say no, say yes, to learn (*cough* how to be a black ally) grow and do what fills you up.
And I have been historically TERRIBLE at this - but I am learning and I am getting better.
Anyone else needed to hear this today? ----

THE BEFORE & AFTER = BOTH AWESOME.
Both taken in about 30 seconds of each other.
One celebrating the glory of high waisted leggings, post-workout glow and a flattering camera angle.
The other celebrates the tummy that grew and made room for my baby...and constantly houses my intestines, liver, bladder, fat, muscles, spine and all my other organs!!
Both are great. Both are different.I love both.
❤️
But it’s taken a while to get there because we have this weird ‘body heirarchy’. A hierarchy of 'acceptable body types' with thin, perfect and often white, at the top and goodness knows at the bottom - is something we all contribute too with our words, comments, criticisms.
But all bodies are bodies and they give us all life.
HOW AMAZING IS THAT!?
So I don't want your comments about how great or not I look. We don't need to reinforce the 'ladder' of what is acceptable or not. >>> Instead, tell me ONE THING that you are so happy about when it comes to your body?
Are you happy with your lungs and breath?Legs moving? Eyes that see? Heartbeats? A tongue that tastes CHOCOLATE?
Tell me below
👇🏽👇🏽

*Also to acknowledge that although the ideal is that all bodies are beautiful and equal the reality of white privilege and many other oppressive structures are ever-present. I am not an expert on this at all but I am learning, being humbled - and honestly ashamed - constantly by my own ignorance and wanted to point that out. We have so much work to do to make body equality a thing - in shape, ability and size yes - but also in skin colour so that our brothers and sisters with black or coloured skin are no longer living under our white privledge oppression and systems. We/I have so much work to do on this too.💔

INTERMITTENT FASTING... AND MAKING THE MOST OF LOC

INTERMITTENT FASTING... AND MAKING THE MOST OF LOCKDOWN BRUNCHES.
Sure it is just the 3 of us and no pals are coming round, but each Saturday its pile of buckwheat pancakes, some berries, maple syrup, nut butter and OF COURSE normal butter.
While 'Intermittent Fasting' is oh so fashionable in the health world (where you skip breakfast and often just drink coffee instead), I RARELY tell my clients To skip breakfast/don't know if I ever had said that.
I never skip breakfast as for me and MOST women it sends the body into stress mode and they can't handle it. So I listen to my body and cycle and do the following:
+ Finish eating for the day by ‪6-7pm‬ at latest - no more eating after that
+ Eat a proper breakfast ‪between 8-10pm‬ so that I can getting a 12-16 (rarely do I go that long) hour fast without skipping breakfast. (If you are super tired and stressed with any hormonal issue eat within an hour of waking!)
🍳
I don't follow trends or blog posts or fashion. I follow my body and most of the time my body wants brunch ;)
So I encourage you to do the same...and also to eat breakfast and not skip this important meal!
Hands up 🤚 if you’re a breakfast fan!!

YOUR MONDAY REMINDER.
Yes - your cells are impacted by the food you eat. But also by the thoughts you think and words you speak.

CHOCOLATE, IN SOME DESCRIPTION, DAILY RITUAL HERE.

CHOCOLATE, IN SOME DESCRIPTION, DAILY RITUAL HERE.🍫
I regularly start or end my day with a fresh cup of cocoa....or squares of 85% chocolate!
Why? Cocoa is a fabulous source of polyphenols which research is telling us more and more good things about.
Sometimes I make it the old school way of warming a dairy free milk and adding some honey. Some days I grab the blender and blender it up with cocoa, knob if butter, mct oil, collagen and some added prebiotic fibre and xylitol.
Either way cocoa everyday.
👋
Hands up if you’re a hard core chocolate or cup of cocoa fan? -

HEALTH DOESN’T NEED TO BE COMPLICATED.
You could in fact sum it up with this phrase.
⭐️Focus on quality.⭐️
Quality relationships, movement, sleep, thoughts and words ....and of course - Quality foods!
🍫🍿🧆🍟🍠🍆🍒🥐🥥
Go with the best you can afford.
If you’re going to eat meat/gluten/dairy/veggies/coffee/alcohol make it organic, well sourced, whole foods based.
Focus on quality.
Quality words about your body. Quality time in self care.
And avoid cheap and nasty anything - cos it’s not what you need or who you are. -
What one thing could you ‘upgrade’ to make it better quality? -

STRUGGLING WITH ACNE, FATIGUE, PMS, POOR DIGESTION

STRUGGLING WITH ACNE, FATIGUE, PMS, POOR DIGESTION - TO NAME JUST A FEW?
Then my next questions is - how are you loving your liver?
Alcohol, pollutant, environmental toxins, medications, pesticides, VOC, heavy metals, molds - these are all things we are exposed to (or willing expose ourselves to!) every day.
Especially during the lockdown, I know lots of people have upped their drinking to a daily tipple.
So what are you doing to love your liver back as it works hard every day to keep you safe and well?
❤️
Here are some ideas:
1. Drink less. A glass of wine/ or whatever every day has NO benefit to your body (it just adds extra burden and sugar), so give a break of 2-3 days between alcoholic drinks.
2. Drink lots of water when you wake up - BONUS point for adding some fresh lemon juice.
3. MOVE. Walk, dance, run, skip - I am LOVING how many people I see out running, walking, and cycling since lockdown - so good for your body!
4. Eat things that I call 'liver loving foods' daily. Garlic, ginger, all green leafy veg, lemon, lemon peel, turmeric, beetroot, onions, elderberry, berries.
5. Go foraging. Now, this might not be up your street but if it sounds like fun things like dandelion and nettles are GREAT for your liver and bodies and abundant right now in the UK. You can make pesto's, soup, tea, stir fry and so much more and they are FREE. (pictured is my DIY dandelion herbal tincture)

THIS MIGHT BE TMI...
But after having my son I wasn't sure I would ever walk or run or be able to move my body in any of my 'old' ways. (Birth injuries are real. Enough said.)
But here's the thing.
❤️We can do hard things.
I trained with a pelvic floor physio and a pelvic floor PT, I did my exercises and I went slow. Now I can run 10km and I am AMAZED.
So know - baby or no baby, runner or no runner.
❤️We can do hard things.
At no point were we promised that creating health, wholeness, energy, fun, joy or a ok-ish pelvic floor after a human being tugged out of it - was meant to be easy all the time.
❤️We can do hard things.
We can change our diet, make babies or make peace with no babies, we can ditch sugar or coffee if it doesn't truly serve us, we can run our first 5 km, we can change our relationships or our gut health or our wine habit .
❤️We can do hard things.
😘
What hard thing are you doing right now?
👇🏽👇🏽
(Me? I am taking 2 weeks of no coffee and no Lindt or other dark chocolate. This mantra is on repeat!)

Ohh and PS. please kindly don't comment on my body. This post isn't about what I look like, its not an invitation for compliments or otherwise about my body. We really don't need more of that on the internet - right?🥰
And PPS I first heard the phrase we can do hard things from @glennondoyle just to credit her words!

THIS IS WHY I’VE BEEN GETTING UP EARLY ALL WEEK.

THERE IS NO BAD, EVIL OR EVEN JUNK FOOD. It is all

THERE IS NO BAD, EVIL OR EVEN JUNK FOOD.
It is all about choice and perspective.
And while I am not perfect at this, I focus on labelling food in the following categories (in order to help retrain my dieting obsessed mind! I went to my first diet club age 11 so its taken a while to unpick it all!)
🍓
+ nutrient-dense: meaning how many vitamins, protein, fats, mineral, fibres am I getting per bite.
🥑
+ non-nutrient dense: food that have very little of the above but might be fun to eat and enjoy.
🥦
+ healing foods: food that I know supercharge my function and healing as a human.
🍳
+ draining foods: foods that for me personally, I know DRAIN my energy and promote inflammation...and to be fair often drain my clients too! (For me this is cows milk, gluten, sugar, caffeinated coffee, rice, potato, corn.)
-
🍫
Food is food. Yes - I know certain food choices will help you heal and feel good each day as well as prevent future diseases BUT you get to decide how valuable and important you are.
A cookie does not😘

HOW DID I BECOME A HOLISTIC NUTRITIONIST? I get as

HOW DID I BECOME A HOLISTIC NUTRITIONIST?
I get asked this a lot so let's begin...
I am the oh so cliched story of really it all began with my own grim health. Diarrhea, Depression, anxiety, eczema, incontinence, IBS,...all the (mild but annoying) grim things. I've had biopsy's, MRI's, tubes, tests, and everyone told me I was fine.
But I did not feel fine.
I felt crazy. Exhausted. Like a hypochondriac.
And there was a SMALL part of me that knew i wasn't...very small. So I took ownership of what I could manage and control - my food and lifestyle choices.
I first removed diary (as that had caused problems for me as child), then focused on sugar and slowly navigated my way through figuring out what food was my medicine.
I wasted YEARS figuring it out on my own, feeling overwhelmed and making small amounts of progress. Then I took the leap, invested in lots of private lab tests (stool, thyroid, organic acid, genetic and hair mineral) and some expertise, and made more progress in 4 months that I had done in 8 years prior.
For me, I had a gut infection, parasite, arsenic toxicity, (very) slightly elevated thyroid antibodies, leaky gut, food intolerances, some genetic mutations, and poor fat metabolism.
I wasn't crazy after all.
Then I realised I wanted to make this my job so I went back to uni, did a postgraduate in nutritional science and practice, and was trained in the functional medicine framework and BOOM. Holistic nutritionist.
-
I eat chocolate daily.
Ate too much cookie dough the other day.
I really enjoy feasting but also am intentional about fasting for 12-14 hours a day.
Can't stand complaining...but often do it.
Love coffee but it doesn't love me.
And really love eating onions and garlic and pancakes. Not at same time.
And I believe that your lifestyle and food choices can either be our slow poison or our greatest medicine! -
