Starting Ozempic or Mounjaro? Read This.

If you're taking Ozempic or Mounjaro, it's important to make sure you're getting the right support alongside the medication.

One of the biggest challenges many people face is food noise—the constant thoughts about food, cravings, and the mental battle that can make healthy choices feel overwhelming. I understand this personally. For years, I struggled with binge eating and the impact that food noise had on my daily life before finally getting it under control.

For many people, these medications help reduce food noise significantly. This can create the space and freedom needed to start building healthier habits and improving your relationship with food.

However, the medication is only one part of the journey.

The real long-term progress comes from learning how to nourish your body, developing sustainable eating habits, understanding your triggers, and building confidence in your choices. This is the stage that often gets overlooked, but it's one of the most important parts of achieving lasting results.

If you're currently taking Ozempic or Mounjaro and would like guidance on nutrition, eating behaviours, recovery from binge eating, or creating a sustainable plan that works for your lifestyle, I'm here to help.

No judgement. No shame. Just education, support, and a plan tailored to you.

Tomorrow’s Bootcamp is going to be a great change of environment as we head to TJ Reid Health & Fitness — a state-of-the-art gym in Kilkenny — to be put through our paces.

Training in a different setting is always a great boost mentally and physically; it keeps things fresh, brings new energy to the session, and helps push you outside the normal routine. Expect a fun and challenging afternoon, a good test for the body, plenty of laughs along the way, and we’ll finish it off with a nice lunch and recovery afterwards.

Resistant Carbohydrates: A Simple Way to Support Blood Sugar and Gut Health

Most people think of potatoes, rice, and pasta as foods that spike blood sugar. But with one simple trick, these everyday carbohydrates can become much more blood sugar-friendly and gut supportive.

The secret? Turning them into resistant starch.

What Is Resistant Starch?

Resistant starch is a type of carbohydrate that ‘resists’ digestion in the small intestine. Instead of being broken down quickly into glucose, it travels to the large intestine where it acts more like fibre.

There, it feeds beneficial gut bacteria and produces short-chain fatty acids such as butyrate, which support:

gut lining health
reduced inflammation
bowel regularity
immune function
How to Turn Potatoes, Rice and Pasta into Resistant Starch

When starchy foods are cooked and then cooled, part of their digestible starch changes structure in a process called retrogradation.

This creates resistant starch.

Simple method:
Cook your potatoes, rice or pasta as normal.
Allow them to cool fully (ideally in the fridge for 8–12 hours).
Eat them cold, or reheat gently.

Good examples:

boiled baby potatoes cooled overnight for potato salad
cooked basmati rice chilled and used in a stir fry the next day
pasta salad made in advance
leftover pasta reheated gently
Does Reheating Remove the Benefits?

No — most of the resistant starch remains even after reheating, as long as the food was cooled first.

This means you can still enjoy warm meals while getting some of the benefits.

Benefits for Blood Sugar

Resistant starch can:

slow digestion
reduce the blood sugar spike after meals
improve insulin sensitivity over time
increase fullness and reduce cravings

This can be especially helpful for:

people with insulin resistance
prediabetes
type 2 diabetes
those trying to manage appetite and energy levels
Benefits for Gut Health

Resistant starch acts as fuel for healthy gut bacteria.

Potential benefits include:

better bowel movements
reduced bloating in some people
stronger gut lining
support for beneficial bacteria

A healthier gut can also positively influence:

mood
immunity
energy levels
