Struggling with bloating and constipation?

Start with the basics before buying another gut supplement.

Something I haven't mentioned in the carousel is how you actually go to the toilet.

Your position can make a difference.

Try putting your feet on a small stool so your knees sit slightly higher than your hips, lean forward and avoid excessive straining.

Then look at your normal day.

Are you eating enough food?
Are you drinking regularly?
Are you moving enough?
Do you keep ignoring the urge to go?
Are you rushing out of the house every morning?

Your digestive system likes routine and consistency.

And when it comes to fibre, don't go from barely eating any to suddenly loading your diet with fibre powders, bars and supplements.

Build it gradually and give your gut time to adjust.

One of the biggest problems with gut health online is that we're constantly looking for the next supplement when sometimes we need to get the simple things right first.

Food. Fluids. Movement. Routine. Variety.

Start there.

Save this post if bloating or constipation is something you struggle with, and follow Elliot Rudkin-Wilson Sports Performance & Naturopathic Nutrition for more practical nutrition advice.

If your sleep’s been a bit off lately, you’re not the only one.

Stress, busy work days, late coffees, scrolling at night, not moving enough… it all builds up. Before you know it, you’re lying there tired but still wired.

I’ve been there myself, and it’s something I see a lot with clients too.

The part most people miss — sleep isn’t just “switching off.”

It’s where your body actually does the work.
Recovery, muscle repair, hormone balance, even appetite control… it all leans on good quality sleep.

When that’s off, everything else feels that bit harder — training, fat loss, energy, focus.

The good news is, you don’t need to overhaul everything overnight. A few simple shifts in your routine can make a real difference.

Better sleep hygiene isn’t about being perfect — it’s about giving your body the right signals to wind down and recover properly.

That’s what this post runs through — practical ways to improve your sleep so your body can actually recover and perform how it should 👇
