Jeepers - It's been 10 years since my regular spot on TV πŸ˜³πŸ‘‡

Uber eats app was in its infancy back then, we hadn't had a global pandemic and all the other life events that have tested our nervous systems and patience!

However what hasn't changed is that your body is made up of 70% water and performs best when you hydrate it through the food you choose to eat.

This past couple of weeks Maea has increased her appetite, she hasn't rejected any type of solid food yet however her digestive system has taken a bit longer to catch up.

It has been such a big reminder about how important the composition of our meals are regardless of what age we are.

Meals can appear healthy and nutritious on the surface because of what is in them however if your digestive system isn't compliant with that meal composition you will be finding that you won't be getting the same results as the next person based on how you are eating.

Although there are some standard principles around what is healthy to eat.

It doesn't actually mean what you are eating is nourishing you the best it could be.

Thankfully being a nutritionist and health coach the past 24 years has paid off in this season as I have known what to do to fix the issue.

However if you are wondering why your body isn't responding to what you eat even if you feel you eat well.

It's time to send me a message and I can iron that out for you in my NEW one week guilt free eating assessment.

How it works is you send me through what you eat each day for a week and I show you what is missing so you experience better progress.

I also send you voice notes back with what you need to add or adjust so you can experience faster progress. No appointments necessary - quick answers each day at the end of your mobile phone.

If you have a bigger goal you'd like to achieve - such as losing weight, to feel less bloated after meals, to reduce your waistline, to balance your blood pressure or blood sugars or you want more energy from what you eat then we can discuss package options after your first week together (if required).

It's a myth that you need to completely overhaul your diet to achieve a healthier body.

It is often just a few tweaks here and there to get your digestive system working for you how you want it to be.

While I've been creating a new life this past 12 months...

My client who finished up a year ago has been continuing to transform hers after working together for six months in 2025.

It brings me so much joy touching base with past clients long after they have finished their accelerator packages

I just love how nourishing their lifestyle becomes a way of life and is the most effective thing they have ever tried.

When you apply the principles that your body needs to nourish your specific lifestyle it takes away the need for motivation or being in the right mindset before starting.

Clients send me a message when they are ready to get started and expect that there will get a plan however instead they are shown what is currently missing and why they aren't making the progress in their health & well being as expected.

Four weeks in they have more energy

Eight weeks in they are noticing shifts in their waistline, their strength, their blood pressure, their appetite and no longer needing to control how they eat.

After twelve weeks they understand how to overcome all the challenges that would usually derail their long term results.

And after a year - well they end up getting exactly what they thought was impossible when we originally had the conversation a year before with no extra effort required.

This is what my client said this week when I asked her how things were going for her now a year on

She has lost - 68 kg in total in 12 months with no medication, surgery, calorie counting or supplements needed. Read more in the comments πŸ‘‡

6 months into this re journey as a mum to an infant ten years after the last time I had a baby is fascinating when it comes to teaching about food.

Let's go back ten years to when I was bringing up charlie on my own with a single income for food and he had limitations when it came to what he could eat.

He was a puree, mash child for most of his first 18 months of eating.

Flash forward to 2026 with Maea she is coming up to 6 months and has been looking for food since she was four and half months old and loves trying all textures and tastes. After all food before one is for fun.

------------------------------------

So how does this relate to you and your relationship with eating?

This highlights the fact we are all completely different when it comes to the way that we are coded to eat and why set diets are simply unsustainable for the long haul.

This argues the fact that it's not necessary nature or nurture however we are born with a certain coding for what we enjoy and it is more dependant on our personality.

Charlie for example, has always liked control and safety when it comes to his choices (not just with food). It took him 8 years and some coaching from me for him to widen what his palate would accept to ensure he would get the nutrients his growing body needed.

Maea is on the other end of the bell curve. She likes to experiment and explore all tastes and textures. She only puts food in her mouth and is not interested in sucking on her toys.

--------------------------------

Your relationship to eating is directly linked to how you like to make choices in life.

If you are unaware of what what your eating personality is eating well and getting what you need can feel like a real challenge.

If you liked freedom and exploration you are more likely to love trying different food.

Unless of course you were not allowed to discover what was right for you when you were younger.

Sticking to a diet will feel safe for you however it's not necessarily meeting the nourishment you need for this age, stage and season in your life.

Deciding you want to lose more than ten kilos is similar to deciding where to go on holiday.

Picking the destination and choosing your itinerary can feel tricky with such an abundance of options available to you.

You can end up with paralysis by analysis.

Eating better and improving your health is similar.

So many options are available for you to choose from medication, diets to surgery however what if none of these methods align with how you like to live?

That is why nourishing your lifestyle is essential if you want to sustain good health and more energy for the long haul.

When we work together we don't only assess the composition of your meals.

I look at every aspect of your health and how your body is coded to digest and be nourished for how you choose to live.

So that you receive the advice that will help you feel progress faster.

That way you don't need to shift your mindset or increase motivation to get to your goal because you experience progress more efficiently.

If meal planning has never been your thing because you love to indulge in whatever you desire, you're not alone.

However, you've found that sticking to a healthy eating plan has been a daunting task, and it hasn't quite worked out for you so far.

Eating guilt-free allows you to break free from the guilt associated with making healthy choices and develop a system that supports your cravings while providing the energy and healthy body you've always wanted with ease.

This season has been a reminder of just how effortless eating guilt-free can be, and why it's been a game-changer for thousands of clients over the past two decades, demonstrating how healthy eating can be a breeze.

You don't need to count calories, measure macronutrients, or restrict food groups to make healthy choices.

Focus on developing the skills to prepare nourishing meals and learn what you need in each meal to keep you thriving.

That's how you'll cater to your busy lifestyle, and you'll never have to wonder what to eat again.

Isn't it interesting that pregnancy and raising babies encourages a conscious focus on how we nourish our bodies (and our childrens)?

Yet, as mothers mature and children gain autonomy,

Identifying what your body needs nutritionally often takes a backseat to supporting others, sometimes waiting until they leave home or until symptoms appear to reassess.

First time I had 8 hours of sleep in a row last night for 12 months!

Strangely I didn't actually notice until I was calculating Maea's collective sleep hours this morning.

You may wonder how on earth I didn't notice getting more sleep than my body is usually use to based on how I felt?

It's because for the last three years I have been intentionally working on my energy every single day so regardless of how my sleep hours stack I have felt good in my body.

This is not just a result of knowing exactly what to eat to counteract broken sleep but also tracking what is contributing to my energy and what was causing any energy leaks.

This is why I advocate for learning how to nourish your lifestyle because you aren't always in a position to change it.

When you understand exactly what your body needs for the lifestyle that you live - staying healthy, well and energized becomes logical.

You get to always be in control of your health through understanding how your body works and knowing what you need to do to adjust it when life throws you challenges.

No more surface level fads, quick fix diets or supplements needed.

All you need is your own unique strategy that is designed for your body.

This is what we create when we work together at a premium level.

We look at your current situation and nourish you accordingly with exactly what you need to thrive (and have the healthy body that you want).

Each day we assess how you feel based on what unfolds in your life and what you currently eat so you know what you need when the day becomes out of balance.

This creates greater consistency in your habits and the results you have been trying so hard to get - unfold more effortlessly.

You tried to cut sugar
You gave intermittent fasting a go

You're starting to think you might have to accept that maybe it's because your age that you can lose weight

When you steadily watch the scales stay the same when you love to eat well but nothing shifts and the doctor says - eat less and move more - you feel like you've tried it all.

You wonder if this is it. This is the way life goes as you get older.

But it doesn't have to be that way.

Just like you, so many other women over the last twenty years have not been happy with how they feel gross in their body even though they you doing your best to live a healthy life.

Trying harder is not the solution - releasing the guilt around how to be healthy and from how you eat is.

Understanding that your body is unique and requires realignment not just physically, mentally and emotionally but also energetically.

This is how you get the healthy body you want to keep and have more energy to achieve everything you want in your life.

If you want to learn how to cook so your meals

βœ… Give you energy
βœ… Help you lose centimetres from your waist line
βœ… Keep you healthier during winter with less sick days
βœ… Taste better so you don't crave sweet food between meals

Yet you are already pressed for finding time to do it all and need quick, easy simple solutions.

Then the upcoming 'nourish your busy lifestyle' mini course shows you how to shortcut all the fuss when it comes to having the healthy body you want.

'Sticking to a plan' for healthy eating is just masking your unconscious eating patterns.

When you let go of the systems and beliefs that keep you feeling in control of what you eat that's when you truly claim your power back in your relationship with your eating, your health and your well-being.

However, doing this on your own and expecting long term results is like going to the beach in winter and expecting to be an ocean swimmer when you haven't been swimming for years.

What you need in order to be successful with sustainable results is to have a support system to get you started and daily guidance to help you understand
βœ… Your eating habits
βœ… Your appetite
βœ… What your body requires
βœ… What is behind the scenes creating your natural food choices

That's when being healthy consistently and loving the body you have gets to be so much easier.

You don't need another restrictive eating plan to be healthy or like the way you look - those methods don't last anyway.

What you need is a personalized guidance that includes your dietary preferences and is built to fit your lifestyle

Plus daily support to show you how to add value and improve what you're already eating so it nourishes you better.

That is when weight falls away, your energy soars and your digestive system works more efficiently.
