💙Mental Health Awareness Week💙has me thinking about the people who are so often supporting everyone else.

Alongside my work as a nutritional therapist supporting people living with MS, I’ve also been living alongside the condition personally since my husband was diagnosed in 2002.

Over the years, I’ve seen how much carers, partners and loved ones quietly carry - often while putting their own wellbeing at the bottom of the list.

When someone is living with MS, it affects more than one person. And while support for the person with the diagnosis is so important, the health and wellbeing of those supporting them matters too.

So I’m now exploring the idea of creating an online coaching program specifically for carers and loved ones of people with MS.

This is not your typical support group. In small, non-judgemental groups we will discuss and learn practical nutrition and lifestyle tips to support our mental and physical health and wellness.

My aim is to provide evidence-informed sessions, and a kind community with shared experience. Our time together will provide a space to be heard and a place to find active solutions to increase our resilience whilst holding so much together behind the scenes.

If this sounds like something you’d be interested in - or if you know someone who might benefit - I’d love to hear from you in the comments, or please DM me 🙏🏼💙

This I’m sharing an experience that really shook us - because awareness isn’t just about symptoms, it’s about how people are treated.

Some time ago, my husband parked outside our home in a tight space next to a neighbour’s car. When the neighbour asked him to move, he calmly explained he didn’t want to park further up the road because his MS makes walking back exhausting and difficult.
The response? He was forcefully shoved and told: “You haven’t got MS.”

💔 Let that sink in.

MS doesn’t always look the way people expect. It’s not always visible. But that doesn’t make it any less real, or any less challenging.

No one should have to justify their condition to someone in order to be treated with basic respect and understanding.

This week - and every week - I’m asking you to pause before you judge what you can’t see. You don’t know someone’s story. You don’t know their pain. You don’t know what it cost them just to get out of the house today.

Please take a moment this week to learn, listen, and think again about what living with MS can look like 🙏🏼🧡

Colour, variety, vibrancy - make your daily diet rich in these three things to help support modern-day stress and nourish the body for hormonal balance
❤️💛🧡💚

This was one of the key takeaways from my nutrition session at the Women’s Rest & Reset Retreat last weekend.

Fibre comes from carbohydrates - we don’t digest it but our gut microbes do and they do wonderful things with it, such as generating vitamins and other molecules that can actually dampen inflammation in the body.

Fibre is also essential to help prevent blood sugar spikes that wreak havoc on hormonal balance and could even add to your body’s stress burden.

Aim to replace the white and refined carbs with the wholegrain versions, get 5 or more vegetables and a serving or 2 of fruit into your diet daily; eat a daily serving of beans, lentils and/or tofu; include a variety of nuts and seeds, herbs and spices in your daily meal planning.

And most of all - keep the colours and variety of your plant-food choices as varied and vibrant as you can! 🥦🫶

1. Beetroot, kale, pumpkin seeds
2. Coleslaw, tahini, miso
3. Pea & cannellini houmus, marinated sticky tofu, tofu mayonnaise, goats feta & mint

(Thanks Karen .sensitive.foodie for the tofu mayonnaise recipe, and Shelley for making it!)

Dessert this weekend at the Women’s 1-day Rest & Reset Retreat with was actually made by my sous-chef - Shelley ! Thank you Shelley 💕

These deee-licious Raw Cacao & Nut Truffles are courtesy of a winning recipe in book - How Not To Die. This is a fantastic recipe book showcasing just how delicious plant-based eating can be.

These truffles, served alongside vibrant, nutritious berries were the perfect complement to our Cacao Ceremony.

Cacao/coco and dark chocolate are packed with an abundance of supportive minerals, such as magnesium, and plant chemicals like theobromine, anandamide & phenylethylamine.

The overall effect? Energising, sharpened focus, opens the heart & circulation flooding the body with pleasure for emotional as well as physiological nourishment.

These truffles are packed with protein, good fat & fibre - your gut, your brain, your hormones and not to mention your tastebuds, will thank you!

Just a little ‘taster’ (!) of some of the incredibly delicious and nutritious food I was serving up this weekend at the Rest & Reset Women’s 1-Day Retreat with

1. Butternut squash, puy lentils, pomegranate
2. Spiced chickpeas & chopped salad
3. Quinoa & edamame bean

Overall, we enjoyed more than 50 different plant foods packed into our lunch!

We discussed the importance of fibre, variety and colour in our plant-food choices for nourishing the microbiome which can have such a huge impact on women’s hormonal health, weight management and helping support a good night’s sleep.

LMK in the comments if you want to come and join us next time! 🙏🏼💚

Thanks for featuring me back in the December edition of Hill Living Magazine 😍:

Did you get to read the article in the Christmas issue of Hill Living Magazine all about How to Feed the Winter Blues? ❄️✨

We spoke to brilliant local nutritionists and about why winter can hit our mood and energy – and how food can really help.

Here’s the short version 👇
🌥️ Shorter days = less sunlight, lower vitamin D and serotonin, and more melatonin (hello tiredness & low mood)
🍳 Protein is key – it helps your brain make feel-good chemicals like serotonin and dopamine
🐟 Omega-3s (from oily fish, walnuts, chia seeds) support brain health and emotional balance
🥬 Iron, zinc & magnesium help fight fatigue and stress – think leafy greens, beans, nuts, seeds & dark chocolate
💧 Hydration still matters in winter (even when it’s cold!)
☀️ Vitamin D is hard to get from food alone, so many of us benefit from supplementing Oct–March
🌙 For better sleep: steady blood sugar, balanced meals, and magnesium-rich foods
Small changes can make a big difference – your plate can help you feel lighter, brighter and more resilient all winter long.

It might be Tuesday already, but I’m still buzzing from the Living Well Live event on Saturday – it was such an honour to speak at something so special.
Around 400 people came together, in person and online, to connect, learn, and be inspired. The energy in the room was electric!

Lina Nielsen, British Olympic athlete and MSer, gave a talk that completely captivated everyone. She beautifully wove together the worlds of elite sport and living with MS – the resilience needed, navigating uncertainty, and the commitment to truly healthy living. She was open, honest, and very relatable.
I had the privilege of speaking about intermittent fasting and the gut microbiome, sharing how:
⏰Intermittent fasting is not only safe but offers wide-ranging health benefits, including reducing markers of pain and fatigue in people with MS
🌱The gut microbiome significantly affects MS outcomes, and while dysbiosis is a feature of MS, high-fibre, plant-focused, nutrient-dense diets – like the Overcoming MS program – can help restore balance

Other highlights from the day :
✨Evidence for healthy diet and lifestyle is finally going mainstream! (Check out the BSLM course online)
💥Smouldering MS is shaping our understanding of MS progression and paving the way for new treatments
🛌Sleep is vital for brain health – cool, dark, quiet rooms are essential, with a relaxed body and mind
Rabiah’s story had us laughing while sharing real truths about living with MS, and challenged everyone to think about what their own personal 8th pillar might be.
It was so wonderful to connect with so many incredible people from the OMS community and meet new friends too. And lunch? Absolutely stunning – colourful, vibrant, nourishing, and delicious! 🥗🌈
So grateful to have been part of such an inspiring day and thank you to everyone that came, and made it happen! 🙏🧡

I’m so looking forward to the ‘Living Well Live’ event coming up this Saturday! It’s a unique event dedicated to new hot topics, hope, empowerment, and to giving practical tools for living well with MS.

We are so lucky to have a live keynote from international athlete Lina Nielsen who will be sharing her powerful story of resilience and answering questions.

I will be joining the panel of experts for a ‘Hot Topics in MS for 2025’ panel session, diving into the latest emerging research, including the exciting potential of intermittent fasting.

After a delicious OvercomingMS-friendly lunch Karen and I will be hosting the breakout session: ‘MS and the Gut Microbiome: What We Know So Far,’ exploring the evidence, the gaps, and practical approaches to gut health with time for your pressing questions about the microbiome & MS.

There will be other exciting sessions on hot topics such as the role of sleep, what we know about smouldering MS and latest medication updates. There will be plenty of time for connecting, socialising and practical workshops for mindfulness and how to implement change for long-standing benefits.

Another highlight will be hearing the charming, and hilarious comedian Rabiah talking about laughter and resilience in the face of MS.

It’s going to be a wonderful day live and online, and I’m looking forward to seeing you there!

What a fabulous day of relaxation, restoration and rejuvenation!
Thank you to for hosting this wonderful event for a gorgeous collection of women
Here are some photos of the utterly delicious and totally nutritious salads I made for lunch whilst we discussed some of the key topics in balancing female hormones. The focus was on blood sugar regulation, plant-focused diets and the role of the gut microbiome, and anti-inflammatory factors such as the all important omega-3 fatty acids.
With nearly 50 different plant foods across an array of salads and toppings we could all practice what I preach: to increase colour, variety and diversity in the diet with whole grains, cooked and raw vegetables, beans, legumes, herbs, and spices, nuts & seeds.
The salads were served with extra toppings such as marinated tofu, cubed feta with olive oil & mint, toasted flaked almonds, a green herby dressing with flaxseed oil, a paprika-spiced dressing with extra-virgin olive oil, a garlicky tofu mayonnaise and a parsley tahini dressing.

1. Tomato, cucumber, yellow & orange pepper, kohlrabi, white onion, chickpeas (spiced with allspice, cardamon, cumin), parsley, coriander, dill
2. Roasted red & golden beetroot, Cavalo Nero, kale, pumpkin seeds, parsley & mint
3. Red rice, capers, Kalamata olives, spring onions, sun-dried tomatoes, toasted pinenuts, basil
4. Butternut squash, cinnamon, red onion, baby spinach, baby chard, puy lentils, pomegranate seeds
5. Red cabbage, Savoy cabbage, red pepper, radish, fennel, carrot, chilli, tarragon, dill, parsley, spiced cashews (turmeric, paprika, cumin)

To fill the day, not only was there two complete yoga sessions, but also facial yoga from Michelle and a blissful sound bath to enjoy from Paps .goodvibration
Let me know below if you are interested in joining the next event coming up this spring.

Thank you to .sensitive.foodie for the delicious tofu mayo recipe (to & .alandesmond for recipe inspiration)
