That feeling when your brain just isn't firing on all cylinders. You're struggling to concentrate, forgetting things, finding it hard to process information or just feeling mentally sluggish.

We often blame stress, hormones or busy lives, but have you considered how much sleep you're actually getting?

And more importantly, whether you're getting enough REM sleep?

While we're sleeping, our brain is incredibly busy. It's processing information, consolidating memories, regulating emotions and supporting cognitive function.

Here's something interesting…especially if you are a wide awake at 2am person!
Our REM sleep periods get longer as the night goes on. So if you're regularly sleeping for just a few hours, and waking up early, you could be cutting short some of your longest REM periods.

REM sleep plays an important role in memory, learning, emotional processing and problem-solving. So consistently cutting sleep short can mean less opportunity for your brain to carry out these important processes.

This can contribute to brain fog, poor concentration, forgetfulness and feeling more emotionally reactive.

So, what can we do to support our brain?

Aim for 7–9 hours of sleep wherever possible.

Include omega-3-rich foods such as salmon, sardines and mackerel.

Eat magnesium-rich foods such as pumpkin seeds, almonds and leafy greens.

Include protein, eggs, nuts and seeds to provide tryptophan, which the body uses to make serotonin and melatonin.

Enjoy plenty of colourful vegetables and berries.

Be mindful of caffeine and alcohol, particularly later in the day.

Nutrition is important, but don't underestimate the value of simply giving yourself enough time to sleep.

We spend so much time thinking about what we eat, how much we exercise and how productive we are, but sleep underpins so much of our physical and mental wellbeing.
If you're constantly battling brain fog, perhaps it's time to stop pushing through and start looking at the foundations.

Sometimes doing more isn't the answer. Giving your body and brain what they need is.

Wendover Woods 🌳🏃‍♀️

After a week with a few ups and downs (and not all of them hills!), today was about getting out, enjoying the trails and running at whatever pace felt right.

No PBs, no pressure, just a lovely woodland run - and a reminder of how lucky I am to have such good people to share the trails with. ❤️⛰️

Cortisol – it’s not all bad!

Cortisol gets a lot of bad press, particularly when we talk about stress. That's perhaps a bit unfair, as this hormone also plays a role in keeping us responsive, capable, and healthy.

Cortisol, helps us wake up in the morning, gives us energy when we need it, helps regulate blood sugar and allows us to respond to stressful situations.

So, we don't want to get rid of cortisol. We want to keep it in balance.

When in balance, our cortisol levels naturally rise in the morning and fall throughout the day, helping us feel alert when we need to be, and then wind down in the evening ready to rest and sleep.

But when life feels like one long to-do list, we're constantly rushing, eating erratically - or we're not getting enough sleep and recovery, our stress response can be affected, and cortisol rhythms can get out of sync.

So what can we do to support our body?

Get outside and enjoy some natural daylight
Eat regular, nourishing meals
Make time for movement and fresh air
Take a few moments to pause and breathe
Make sleep and rest a priority
Keep socially connected with your people and communities

And remember, not all stress is bad. We need cortisol to help us meet life's inevitable challenges, and get things done. It's also important to give ourselves time to recover.

It's not about doing everything perfectly or adding another thing to your to-do list. It's about finding small ways to support your body, especially when life gets busy.

Sometimes, we need to do less, not more. 💚

A nourishment programme - yes - but with a whole new approach. Because when you gently focus on the inside first (whatever life is throwing your way), making healthy changes is way way more possible, effortless and lasting, and dare I say - enjoyable!

Group programme, starts Nov 1st. 10 spaces.

I’d love you to think about joining us this November x

Nutrition is about so much more than food! 💚

A few of the topics I’ve found myself chatting about this week, both on the move and by the pool in Alvor on our runners retreat!

Collagen, creatine, magnesium and sleep. B12, iron and energy. Stomach acid and nutrient absorption. Salt cravings and the nervous system. Gut health, probiotics and the gut-brain connection. Antibiotics. Inflammation and omega-3. Circadian rhythms, night-time waking, cortisol and over-exercising. Perimenopause, menopause and changing nutritional needs. Adaptogenic mushrooms, fasting, immunity and potential nutrient gaps in a vegan diet.

Quite a mix! And yes, there may have been a cocktail or two in between! 🍹☀️

And that’s what I love about nutrition. It’s not just about what we eat. It’s about understanding how the body works, how different systems interact, and how nutrition, lifestyle, stress, sleep and movement can all influence how we feel.

Nutrition is fascinating, and there’s always more going on beneath the surface.

There’s always more to explore, and often the most interesting conversations start with a simple question.

I absolutely love curiosity, because it is the very start of change.

Setting up our running group Move, Walk, Run! was one of the best decisions I have ever ever made! I shall never be quiet about that 😆.

We celebrate our women’s milestones every week - that’s super important to me to recognise staying power, whatever life is throwing at you, and in amongst this cohort of local women, there is a LOT going on.

We are a community of women of all sorts, and I truly believe (and see) running is a fantastic leveller that brings everyone together. We run for wellbeing and community, health, fitness and happiness. Everyone has their reasons.

Progress is always fabulous, if you seek it - but I couldn’t give a hoot about comparison, individual speed, position or brilliance. Just getting yourself there is all that counts and so we shout out showing up, determination and being there for others week in week out.

Today we celebrated a 3 in one! - a 50 run,
200 run, and 700 run milestone day. I am blown away by these women, and the whole group nearly 9 years on - and my heart is very full.

A few of my go-to lunches lately 🥗

I thought I’d share a few of the lunches I’ve been having recently - nothing fancy, just simple food that works for me.

I try to include a good source of protein, plenty of veg/salad and fibre, and some healthy fats, but it doesn’t have to be perfect every time.

Sometimes it’s leftovers, sometimes it’s a quick salad, or soup from a batch I made - and sometimes it’s just using up whatever I’ve got in the fridge!

For me, eating well is about finding foods that are nourishing, enjoyable and realistic enough to fit into everyday life.

So if you’re stuck in a lunch rut, maybe take a look at what you already enjoy and think about just one thing you could add, to make your lunch fuel your afternoon well.

What’s your go-to lunch?

Take a breath, beat the bloat.

Ever start the day feeling comfortable, only to feel more bloated as the day goes on?

There are lots of reasons this can happen, from what we eat and drink, to how quickly we eat, increased fibre, and simply how much our digestive system has to process throughout the day.

But here’s one simple thing to try…
Take a breath before you eat.

When we’re rushing, stressed or distracted, we can eat quickly and swallow more air. Taking a moment to pause and breathe can help create a calmer start to your meal.

Try:
Stopping, and sitting to eat. Many of us are eating literally on the go.
Pause and take 3–5 slow breaths before eating
Relax your shoulders and jaw
Put your phone down
Slow down and chew well

And if you've recently increased your fruit, vegetables, wholegrains or pulses, remember that more fibre can sometimes mean more gas and bloating initially while your gut adjusts. Gradually increasing fibre can help, and it's really important to stay hydrated.

It’s not about cutting foods out or following another set of food rules.

Sometimes it’s simply about slowing down, tuning in and giving your gut a little support.

Do you notice your bloating gets worse as the day goes on? And could slowing down be part of the answer?
