HillStart Nutrition Health & Wellness Feeling tired, bloated, stressed or not quite yourself? Author of Nourish to Flourish * 28 Day Transformation

I help busy mid-lifers improve their energy, digestion and gut health through practical nutrition, advanced testing and personalised support. Helping you take control of your life by ensuring optimal health and energy

Your gut does far more than digest food.

When people hear “gut health”, they often think bloating, IBS or bowel movements.

I think energy, mood, hormones, immunity and long-term health.

Your gut is involved in so many of the systems that help you feel your best, which is why I spend so much time talking about it.

In this week’s podcast I’m exploring:

✔️ The gut-brain connection
✔️ How your gut influences hormone balance
✔️ Why your immune system relies on good gut health
✔️ The link between digestion and energy

If you’ve ever wondered why nutritional therapists are so obsessed with gut health, this one’s for you.

What would you ask a Nutritional Therapist if you had 60 minutes to pick their brain? 🤔

This month's Members Club coaching call focused on gut health, and we covered so much more than "eat more fibre"!

Some of the questions and discussions included:

✔️ How long should you leave between meals?
✔️ What should you do if you get shaky between lunch and dinner?
✔️ Is it really possible to support your gut health by eating less often?
✔️ Why might your digestion be making noises at night?
✔️ What's the difference between hunger and digestive discomfort?
✔️ How do digestive enzymes work and when might they help?
✔️ Why do some people feel better when they stop grazing all day?

Alongside the Q&A, we explored some of the most common gut health mistakes I see, including constant snacking, low fibre intake and why healing your gut can improve far more than just digestion.

The best part?

Every other month, members get access to coaching calls like this, where you can ask your own questions and learn from everyone else's too.

It's like having a Nutritional Therapist in your corner all year round.

Recipes, meal plans, resources, community, coaching calls and members clinics, all for just £67 per year.

Not feeling quite right, but not sure where to start?

You’re not alone.

So many of the people I see are doing their best, eating fairly well, maybe taking a few supplements…
but still feeling a bit flat, low on energy, or just not quite themselves.

That’s exactly why I offer PRYSM clarity sessions from my cabin at The Plant Plot 🌿
Lets test to see if you are in the purple zone!

In just 20 minutes, we:

✔️ Check your PRYSM score, a simple scan looking at your antioxidant status
✔️ Take a quick look at your food, lifestyle and supplements
✔️ Give you 2–3 clear, practical steps to help move things forward

No overwhelm.
No long plans.
Just a simple starting point that actually makes sense for you.

And you’ll also get a free re-test in 3 months, so you can see how those small changes are working.

Because when you can see progress, it’s so much easier to keep going.

💫 £40 per session
💫 Includes £20 against purchases on the day (supplements or teas)

If you’ve been thinking “I just need a bit of direction”…
this is it.

🩸 Did you know that one blood donation can help save up to three lives?

This weekend is International Blood Donor Day, a chance to celebrate the incredible people who regularly donate blood and help keep our healthcare system running.

As a Nutritional Therapist, I spend a lot of time looking at blood test results, and here's something that often surprises people...

We tend to assume low iron is common.

In my clinic I often see the opposite.

Many people are taking iron supplements "just in case", without ever checking whether they actually need them.

I've had several clients whose annual blood test showed elevated ferritin or iron levels, and one of the simplest ways to help bring those levels down is often to become a blood donor. And you are doing something good in the process.

That's why I'm such a fan of testing rather than guessing.

✔️ Find out what's actually going on
✔️ Understand your results
✔️ Make informed decisions
✔️ Avoid taking supplements you may not need

If you're curious about your iron, cholesterol, blood sugar, vitamin D, liver function and much more, my Annual Blood Test MOT looks at 39 health markers and includes a consultation to help you understand what it all means.

And if you're already a blood donor, thank you. You really are making a difference.

How do you get bone broth into your diet during summer? ☀️

In winter it’s easy. We add it to soups, stews and casseroles, or sip it from a mug.

Summer can be a little more challenging.

One of my favourite tricks is to cook mixed grains, quinoa, rice or couscous in bone broth instead of water.

Not only does it add extra flavour, it also means every salad, tabbouleh, brunch bowl or quick midweek meal gets a little nutritional boost too.

Whilst many people think about bone broth because of the collagen content, I’m usually thinking about gut health.

Bone broth contains amino acids including glutamine, glycine and proline, which help support the gut lining as part of an overall healthy diet. My favourite brand is

This batch will become:
✔️ A spicy lentil and egg brunch bowl
✔️ Tabbouleh
✔️ Lunch salads
✔️ Quick stir-fries and fried rice dishes

A small bit of weekend prep that makes healthy eating easier all week.

Do you use bone broth, or is this something you’ve never tried?

🍎 What if all that healthy snacking is actually making your digestion worse?

For years we were told to eat little and often.

✔️ Keep your metabolism going
✔️ Stop yourself getting hungry
✔️ Keep your blood sugar stable

So we filled our handbags, desks and cars with snack bars, fruit, nuts and cereal bars.

The problem?

Your digestive system never gets a break.

In this week’s podcast, I’m talking about one of the most common habits I see in clinic, grazing all day long.

We cover:

✔️ Why your gut needs periods of rest
✔️ What the “cleaning cycle” in your digestive system does
✔️ Why constant snacking can contribute to bloating and digestive symptoms
✔️ The connection between grazing and energy crashes
✔️ Why many people feel better on three balanced meals a day

One of the biggest shifts people make in my Transformation Programme isn’t changing what they eat.

It’s changing when they eat.

I’d love to know…

Could you comfortably go 4 hours without eating?

How do you know if what you’re eating is actually healthy… or just looks it?

There’s so much noise out there, low fat, high protein, no carbs, plant-based, fasting… it’s no wonder so many people feel confused.

This is exactly why I created my Healthy Plate Recipes.

It’s not about perfection.
It’s about structure.

Because when you build your meals properly, with the right balance of protein, fibre, colour and healthy fats, everything starts to fall into place.

✔️ More stable energy
✔️ Better digestion
✔️ Fewer cravings
✔️ Feeling fuller for longer

No overthinking. No extremes. Just real food that works.

If you’ve been feeling a bit stuck, tired, or unsure what to eat, this is a really simple place to start.

You can download the recipes here:

Start with one meal. One small change.
That’s where things begin to shift 💫
