People often ask which apple cider vinegar I use.

I always choose one that’s raw, unpasteurised and contains the live mother, like this one from Willy’s.

I use a splash in homemade dressings because it adds great flavour and means I know exactly what’s gone into my food.

Today’s dressing was simply tahini, apple cider vinegar, fresh garlic and a little water.

Quick to make, full of flavour and a much better alternative to many shop-bought dressings.

One of my recent follow-ups reminded me why I love what I do.

This client originally came to see me because she was struggling with acne and persistent breakouts, including across her back.

By identifying her food triggers and correcting nutrient deficiencies, we’ve seen almost complete resolution of her skin concerns.

The biggest change wasn’t just her skin, it was her confidence.

Healthy skin often starts from within, and sometimes it’s those small changes that make the biggest difference.

One of the biggest surprises for people is discovering that it isn’t always the food causing the problem.

Many clients arrive convinced they’re intolerant to a specific food, only to find that the real issue is poor gut health, digestive enzymes or an imbalance in the microbiome.

The question isn’t always “what food is causing this?”

Sometimes it’s “why is my body struggling with this food now?”

That’s where the testing becomes so valuable.

Tahini is one of those foods that doesn’t get nearly enough attention.

Made from sesame seeds, it’s packed with calcium, magnesium, iron, vitamin E, healthy fats and even protein.

I love using it to make a quick dressing with a splash of apple cider vinegar, garlic and a little water.

It’s a really simple way to add flavour and a huge nutritional boost to salads and roasted vegetables.

Sometimes the smallest ingredients make the biggest difference.

IBS isn’t a diagnosis, it’s a starting point.

Many people are told they have Irritable Bowel Syndrome, but they’re never given an answer as to why they’re experiencing bloating, constipation, diarrhoea or abdominal pain.

There isn’t one single cause of IBS.

Food intolerances, gut bacteria, stress, digestive enzymes and stomach acid can all play a role.

That’s why we test. The more we understand about what’s happening inside your body, the easier it becomes to build a plan that actually works.

One of the best habits I’ve got into is roasting extra vegetables.

Whenever I have leftover cauliflower, butternut squash or anything else in the fridge, I roast it with a little garlic and keep it in a glass container ready for the week.

It means I can quickly add vegetables to salads, omelettes, lunches or evening meals without having to start from scratch every time.

A little bit of preparation makes eating well so much easier.

What’s the most common food intolerance I see?

Wheat, gluten and dairy are right at the top of the list.

The challenge is working out whether it’s a genuine intolerance, eating too much of a particular food, or simply struggling to digest it properly.

That’s why testing is so useful. We need to understand whether it’s the food itself or what your body is doing with it.

What’s the biggest superpower for your health?

Sleep.

Movement, hydration and good nutrition all matter, but quality sleep is where your body repairs, recovers and resets.

If you’re struggling with energy, digestion, hormones or stress, don’t overlook your sleep routine.

Getting to bed earlier, reducing blue light and improving sleep quality can have a huge impact on how you feel.

One of the saddest things I hear is people saying they’ve left it too late.

They haven’t.

No matter where you’re starting from, there is always something that can be improved.

Better movement.
Better sleep.
Better nutrition.
Better stress management.
Small changes add up.

We’ve spent decades blaming fat.

Meanwhile, many people are consuming large amounts of sugar and refined carbohydrates without understanding the impact on insulin levels and fat storage.

The conversation around weight gain is often far more complex than calories alone.
