A conversation with a patient inspired me to write this.

They told me that, for the first time in a long time, they felt listened to. They felt safe to talk honestly about the challenges they were facing without fear of judgement.

That stayed with me.

As dietitians, we don't just treat health conditions. We treat people.

Behind every diagnosis is a unique life, with different experiences, responsibilities, struggles, and strengths. Understanding that person is often the key to helping them improve their health.

It got me thinking about what good healthcare really looks like, so I decided to write about it.

I hope it gives a little insight into what dietitians really do and why taking a whole-person approach matters.

It’s been interesting how often this has come up recently.

In clinic, with friends, and even in passing conversations in the supermarket, I keep hearing the same thing:

“I just don’t know what to eat when it’s this hot.”

And it makes sense. When appetite drops and cooking feels like too much effort, most people either end up skipping meals or just picking at whatever is easiest. Neither tends to leave you feeling your best.

I’ve written a short piece on why this happens in hot weather and some simple, practical ways to make eating feel more manageable when cooking is the last thing you want to do.

If this has been you lately, you’re definitely not alone.

What if the problem isn't a lack of discipline... but a lack of fuel?

Many active people are trying to eat less, move more, and push harder.

But sometimes the very things we think are helping are actually holding us back.

I recently presented this at a wellbeing festival, and it inspired my first Substack article.

In it, I cover the biggest nutrition mistakes I see active people make, including:

Under-fuelling
Overestimating exercise calories
Poor workout fuelling
Low energy availability
The hidden impact of RED-S and disordered eating behaviours

Because your body can survive on a tight energy budget.
It can't thrive on one.

Reminder ❌‼️🚨

It’s looking hot this bank holiday weekend! If the sun’s out where you are, slushies might be on the agenda ☀️

But it’s worth knowing that some slush drinks contain glycerol (E422), which helps create that icy texture. Younger children can be more sensitive to it, so:
⚠️ Under 7s should avoid slush drinks containing glycerol
🥤 Children aged 7–10 should have no more than one 350ml drink a day.

If you're not sure whether a slush contains glycerol, ask the seller or check the label – and if you can't find out, it's best to choose something else.

‼️Reminder - hot weather & antidepressants ‼️

If you’re taking an SSRI like citalopram, sertraline, duloxetine, fluoxetine you are more prone to dehydration and overheating.
