FED UP WITH TRYING DIFFERENT DIETS AND GETTING NOWHERE?

Maybe it's time for a different approach!

My next 5-Day Fasting Mimicking Diet group starts Sunday 15th November.

FMD is a plant-based, scientifically developed programme that mimics some of the metabolic effects of fasting while you still eat every day!

Why try a 5-day reset?

🌱Support metabolic health and insulin sensitivity.
🌱 Improve blood sugar regulation.
🌱 Support weight and visceral fat reduction.
🌱 Activate cellular pathways associated with repair and autophagy.
🌱 Support healthy ageing and longevity.

I've personally completed three 5-day programmes and loved the changes in my body composition and relationship with food. It's not always easy (I get cold and hungry too! 😅), but I find it worthwhile.

Starting 15th November Order this week to receive your box in time.

Want to know more? Comment FAST or DM me so you can be added to my fasting group and order the box using my disocunt code.

Your health is an investment, not another diet challenge. 💚

MONDAY QUESTION: Are you investing in your future health?

A few snapshots from a lovely weekend in Manchester – catching up with friends, beautiful walks and delicious food!

Yes, I enjoyed a croissant as my Halloween treat! But with 32,000 steps on Saturday, I certainly got plenty of movement too! 😂

Healthy living is about balance, not perfection.

But here's a statistic worth thinking about…

A 2025 study in Nature Medicine found that only 9.3% of people achieved healthy ageing by the age of 70.

So what can we do differently?

As a nutritional therapist, I'm passionate about investing in health before problems arise.

My favourite tools include:

🥑 Nutrition: Whole foods, protein, fibre and healthy fats + optimal hydration.

⏳ 5-day Fasting Mimicking Diet: I've completed three cycles myself. Research suggests potential benefits for metabolic health and certain markers of biological ageing.

🩸 Zinzino Balance: Test your fatty acid profile, understand your omega-3 status and take a more personalised approach to nutrition. Test, don't guess!

💪 Lifestyle: Strength training, daily movement, quality sleep and stress management.

No magic pills. Just consistent choices that add up.

I don't just want to live longer. I want to stay strong, active, independent and mentally sharp!

This week hasn’t exactly started as planned… 🤧

The flu season has caught up with me, and yesterday and last night were rough. I was feeling really poorly...

So, what’s the plan? Listen to my body, give it what it needs, and take things a little slower. Easier said than done when you are solo parenting this week! 🙈

The dog still needs walking, the kids need entertaining, and life doesn’t simply stop because Mum is poorly. It’s a juggle!

Here’s what I’m doing to look after myself:

🍋 Fresh ginger, lemon, grated garlic, turmeric and honey. My go-to warming mixture when I’m feeling under the weather. It’s comforting, soothing and helps me keep my fluid intake up.

🫖 Plenty of herbal teas. Staying hydrated is especially important when you’re unwell.

💊 Supporting my nutritional foundations. I’m taking my usual Multi and beta-glucan supplement from Zinzino, alongside vitamins C and D. Vitamins C and D contribute to the normal functioning of the immune system, while vitamin D is particularly important during the darker months when sunlight exposure is limited. Supplements can help fill nutritional gaps, but they are not a magic shield against infections!

😴 Rest, rest and more rest. My body needs energy to recover, so I’m not trying to push through my usual training or pretend everything is normal.

🐕 Getting outside. Today, I wrapped up warm and dragged myself out for a walk because the dog and my son needed to get out of the house, and a little fresh air felt appealing.

I actually feel a little better now. The beautiful sunshine certainly lifted my spirits! ☀️

Even my Oura ring is telling me to take it easy today, with a readiness score of just 45 and my body temperature still higher than usual.

Sometimes, the smartest thing we can do for our health is to stop pushing and start listening.

As a nutritional therapist, I talk a lot about prevention, nourishing our bodies and building healthy foundations. But even with the best habits, we can still get ill. That's life!

Health isn't about never getting sick. It's about giving your body the support, nourishment and recovery time it needs. ❤️

The clocks have changed, but my morning routine stays the same!

7 am, and it was already light and bright outside this morning. The perfect excuse to get out for a walk before breakfast and coffee.

Did you know that one of the best things you can do for your metabolism isn't a supplement or a fancy morning drink? It's getting natural daylight (ideally straight after getting out of bed before we reach for the phone!)

☀️ Morning light helps regulate your circadian rhythm, supporting your body's natural sleep–wake cycle, daytime alertness and the timing of hormones such as cortisol and melatonin.

🚶‍♀️ A morning walk gets you moving, supports metabolic health and gives you a little headspace before the day begins.

🍳 A protein and fibre-rich breakfast helps support muscle maintenance, keeps you satisfied and nourishes your gut microbes.

☕ And coffee? I love mine, but caffeine doesn't create energy. It works by blocking adenosine, a chemical that contributes to sleepiness.

My simple morning routine:
☀️ Daylight first 🚶‍♀️ A walk outdoors 🍳 Breakfast with protein and fibre + balance oil (one supplement I never skip) ☕ Then coffee!

No complicated rituals. Just simple habits that work with your body's biology.

Your body has its own morning routine. The question is, are you giving it the right signals?

Cold and flu season is here… but are you supporting your health beyond supplements?

Wet weather, shorter days, less sunshine and a wild sea today 🌊 It certainly feels like winter is on its way!

Before looking for the next magic pill, another must have supplement shouldnt we first understand what our body actually needs? Let's get back to basics:

💫Prioritise sleep, our body needs time to rest and repair.
💫Eat nourishing food, focus on quality protein, plenty of vegetables (cooked or steamed) and healthy fats.
💫Stay hydrated. Warm water with lemon and fresh ginger, even when you are not feeling as thirsty as you do in summer.
💫Think about vitamin D as in the UK, sunlight is insufficient for adequate vitamin D production during autumn and winter. NHS recommends that everyone consider taking 10 µg (400 IU) daily during these months (it is not sufficient dosage for most people, its best to get your vit D tested)
💫Keep moving,regular movement supports overall health, even when the weather makes staying indoors more tempting!
💫Manage stress, chronic stress can affect sleep, recovery and immune function.
💫Supplement strategically, identify what you actually need rather than taking a long list of supplements without a clear reason. My top 3 are omega3, vit D and good multi.

As a nutritional therapist, I believe in looking at the bigger picture. Supplements can help address nutritional gaps, but they cannot replace a balanced diet, restorative sleep and healthy everyday habits.

Test, don't guess.

And don't underestimate the basics. ❤️

Your health is built through the things you do consistently, not just the supplements you take when winter arrives.

How are you preparing your body for winter?

Most health supplements fail for one simple reason: they taste terrible.

If people dont enjoy taking something, they stop. It doesnt matter how good the science is if the bottle sits unopened in the cupboard.

That is why this news is such a game-changer for our business:

🏆 Our BalanceOil+ Orange Lemon Mint has officially won the 2026 Superior Taste Award from the International Taste Institute in Brussels!

This wasnt decided by a marketing panel. It was judged in a strict, blind sensory evaluation by over 250 Michelin-starred chefs and world-class sommeliers. No brand names, no context… just pure taste. It is the second consecutive year the BalanceOil family has been recognised.

We recombined sustainably sourced EPA and DHA omega-3s with polyphenol rich cold-pressed olive oil and Vitamin D into a fresh, citrus profile that people genuinely look forward to taking every single day.

Why does this matter if you are looking to build a wellness business?

Because when science meets exceptional taste, customer retention becomes effortless. As a Masters-qualified Nutritional Therapist and Zinzino Independent Partner, I dont have to hard-sell or constantly chase new customers. People take the test, see their cellular baseline, love the product, and stick with it month after month.

As pioneers of test-based, personalised nutrition from Scandinavia, we are expanding rapidly across the UK and globally.

If you are a practitioner, coach, or professional looking for a purpose-driven side project backed by real scientific proof and award-winning products I would love to introduce you to our team.

Warm, chocolatey, protein-packed breakfast!

Want a breakfast that keeps you satisfied for longer and helps curb those mid-morning cravings? Try this!

✨ Cottage Cheese & Chocolate Breakfast Bake

Eggs + cottage cheese = protein keep you feeling full.

Banana = carbohydrates for quick energy source, plus fibre.

Eggs also provide fats to support hormone production and help with nutrient absorption.

Cocoa powder = rich in flavanols, antioxidants. Choose unsweetened cocoa for all the chocolatey goodness without added sugar!

Protein and fat are important, but on their own they may not always feel as satisfying because they are digested more slowly and are not the body's quickest source of energy. Adding carbohydrates from the banana gives your body readily available fuel, while the protein, fat and fibre help support fullness and steady energy.

How to make it:

2 eggs

200g - 250 grams cottage cheese

1 ripe banana or 2 small ones

2-3 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder, you can add extra sweetener of your choice

Blend everything until smooth, pour into a microwave-safe dish, add some berries and microwave until set. Alternatively, bake at 180°C until cooked through.

I still don't have a kitchen 🙈, so I microwave mine.

The best part? You get protein, carbs and fats in one warming, satisfying breakfast. Because eating well is about giving your body the fuel it needs!

Would you try this?

SUSHI, OMEGA-3 & YOUR HORMONES… WHAT’S THE CONNECTION?

I LOVE sushi! 😍 But as a Nutritional Therapist, I also love what omega-3 does for our bodies. Oily fish is a great source of omega3 fats.

💫Your brain? DHA is one of its key building blocks.

💫Your hormones? Healthy cells need the right fats to function properly.

💫Your heart? EPA and DHA contribute to normal heart function.

💫Your metabolic health? Omega-3 is one piece of the bigger health puzzle.

But here's the question… 👀

Do you actually know your Omega-3 Index?

You might eat healthily, take supplements and still not know whether your omega-3 status is where you want it to be.

That's why I believe in TEST, DON'T GUESS!

Have you ever tested yours?

🙋‍♀️ YES, I know my number!
🤔 NO, but now I'm curious!
