If your thyroid bloods came back “normal” but you’re still exhausted — this could be why.
 
Your thyroid hormones directly control how well your mitochondria — your cellular energy producers — function.
 
When that relationship breaks down, even subtly, energy production drops. And your body rations what’s left.
 
That’s the fatigue. The brain fog. The weight that won’t shift. The cold hands. The mood that’s flat or anxious or both.
 
This is not you failing. This is biology.
 
And it can change.

Last night, under a blue moon, something unexpected happened. I attended the England Business Awards with zero expectations — just gratitude to be in a room full of people who believe in what they're building. And then my name was called for Best Health & Wellbeing Business in Cheshire. I'm still a little blown away.

Running a health and wellbeing business isn't just a career — it's a calling rooted in a deep belief: that we, as humans in these physical bodies, hold the power to heal. Whatever we're facing. Whatever the diagnosis, the prognosis, the obstacle. It starts with perspective. The shift from "I have this disease and nothing can be done" to "there is another way, and I will find it" — that shift is where everything changes.

It's not about dismissing medicine. It's about expanding what we believe is possible. When we go within — when we examine our thoughts, our conditioning, our internal world — we begin to see how profoundly it ripples into the physical.

Anything is possible. The business you believe in. The marathon you want to run. The career you would like to have. The health you're working toward. The life you're building. All of it. It’s a perspective and a unshakable belief.

I'm so grateful to this community, to every person I've worked with, and to everyone who has cheered me on. Last night reminded me that when we hold a vision and we persist — the universe has a way of reflecting it back. Stay curious and open minded – the magic always happens in ways we least expect it!

Here's to believing in the impossible. And winning awards under an occasional blue moon.

The heart is not a pump. And that single misunderstanding has shaped how medicine treats it and how you’ve been taught to treat yourself. I know it has impacted my understanding!
 
Anatomist Gil Hedley’s integral anatomy work reveals the heart as a spiral structure, a helicoidal band of muscle that winds in upon itself and spins blood through a vortex. The blood cells themselves rotate on their own axes within that larger movement. This is not mechanical. This is energetic, living, intelligent.
 
And yet we were also told a healthy heart should beat like a metronome. Steady. Consistent. Regular.
 
The research says otherwise.
 
Heart rate variability, the natural variation between each heartbeat, is one of the most powerful markers of health we have. High variability means your autonomic nervous system is responsive, adaptive, and resilient. Low variability, rigidity - is associated with disease progression, hormonal disruption, and reduced capacity to handle stress.
 
The HeartMath Institute, with over 500 peer-reviewed studies, has shown that the heart generates an electromagnetic field approximately 100 times stronger than the brain’s and it is measurable several feet outside the body! How cool is that?! The quality of that field shifts with your emotional and physiological state. Coherence isn’t just a feeling. It’s a measurable, trainable biological state.
 
So, when we force consistency onto a system built for variability through - the same foods daily, the same routine across every season, the same relentless expectations - we work against our own physiology. Chronic stress does the same from within. It flattens heart rate variability, suppresses thyroid conversion, and destabilises s*x hormones.
 
Let’s just say we lose our rhythm in life.
 
This week I want to go deeper and look at the gut, the hormones, and the cellular energy system that connects it all.
 
Tell me - what would it mean for you to stop expecting consistency from a body designed to be more variable?

Today is World Meditation Day.

I first found meditation in 2004. Got serious in 2006, and it took me deep into Buddhism, into loving-kindness, mindfulness, and years of sitting with teachers I am still grateful for.

These days, I no longer meditate to just feel calm.
I meditate to know myself and change myself.

The Sanskrit dhyāna - deep contemplation, absorption. The Upanishadic Ātma jñāna - knowledge of the Self. The ancient Greek gnōthi seauton, inscribed at Delphi - know thyself.

Different languages. Different lineages. The same instruction.

To sit. To observe. To pull my thoughts out of the past and out of the future and bring myself, fully, into the present, the only place the divine can meet me.

It is not always comfortable. But I sit through the restlessness until it becomes sacred.

Every morning, I meditate to change myself, to recondition my body to a new mind.
Every evening, I meditate to connect with the divine. Silent, mantra, guided, walking, each one offers something different. But they all share one thing: they create coherence between my brain and my heart.
For years, I told myself I couldn’t meditate. Now, I cannot imagine my life without it.

If you have ever wondered whether meditation is for you - it is. Not the hour cross-legged in silence. The version where you sit. Where you breathe. Where you choose, for a few minutes a day, to come home to yourself.

It can help you heal the past, create your future, and remember the divine that has always lived inside you.

Today, the door is wide open. Dr Joe Dispenza has released a free meditation for World Meditation Day. A beautiful place to begin.

I would love to know what is your favourite form of meditation?

With love, Stiana x

We wouldn't workout in heels. So why are we eating in fight-or-flight?
How you show up to your meal matters more than the meal itself.

This is the part of the protein conversation that's almost always missing. We talk endlessly about what and how much. Almost none of it touches whether the body is even in the right state to digest what we eat.
The cephalic phase is the first phase of digestion - triggered by the sight, smell, thought, and taste of food, mediated by the vagus nerve. It accounts for 20–30% of gastric secretion in a meal. It switches on stomach acid, enzymes, bile, and gut motility.

And it can only happen when we're in a parasympathetic state.

Eating at our desks, scrolling, rushing between meetings - all of it keeps us in sympathetic dominance and suppresses vagal tone. Step one of digestion is offline before we've even picked up our fork.
This isn't a flaw. It's not willpower. It's a learned pattern, one that's been quietly shaped over years. And it can be unlearned.

Swipe through for the science, the clinical picture, and what we can do about it.

Two ways to begin: → Comment DIGEST for the free 30-second pre-meal practice → DM ‘READY’ if you'd like to work with me.

You can eat the perfect amount of protein every day and your body still won’t get it. 🍗

Protein doesn’t enter your body as a steak or a shake. It has to be broken down into amino acids - the tiny building blocks your body uses to repair muscle, grow hair, make hormones, and keep your energy strong.

That breakdown happens in three steps:
1. You chew it
2. Stomach acid breaks it down
3. Your gut absorbs it

If any one of those three is off, then the protein you worked so hard to eat just passes through you. 🙈

Here’s what most people don’t know: stomach acid naturally drops by around 30% by the time you’re 40. Add chronic stress to that, because your body literally cannot digest properly in fight-or-flight and you can be eating beautifully, training well, doing everything “right,” and still feel tired, bloated, losing hair, or not building muscle.

This is the missing piece. It’s not always what you’re eating. It’s whether your body is in the state to actually use it.

Comment DIGEST and I’ll send you the 30-second practice I give every client to switch digestion back on before the first bite. 🥳

One of the biggest health conversations emerging globally right now is not simply about living longer …
It’s about HOW we live longer.

Because many people are now trying to navigate: chronic stress, burnout, thyroid imbalances, hormone shifts & menopause, cognitive overload, fatigue, emotional exhaustion, caring responsibilities, demanding work lives, and constant stimulation
all at the same time.

We are living longer than previous generations,
but many people are not necessarily feeling well for longer.

And I think this is where the future of health is changing.

The conversation is no longer only about: diet culture, quick fixes, or “pushing through.”
It is becoming about: 🧠 nervous system health ⚡ sustainable energy🩸 metabolic health🫀 emotional resilience 🌿 hormone balance 😴 recovery 🧬 longevity 💭 cognitive wellbeing and learning how to support the body through the realities of modern life.

Because true wellbeing is not about surviving longer in exhaustion.

It’s about creating the conditions for humans to thrive physically, mentally and emotionally across the whole lifespan.

This means making time daily for your nervous system to de-charge and reboot. Not using technology but finding different ways.

I would love to know what is your favourite way to re-boot your nervous system? Share in the comments below xoxo

So many women are unknowingly under-eating protein, especially during times of stress, hormonal change, busy motherhood, perimenopause, healing, or burnout.

While this may seem like a small thing… it can have a profound impact on how you feel physically, mentally & emotionally.

Protein is not just about muscle or fitness.

It provides the amino acids your body needs to:
✨ Support thyroid function
✨ Stabilise blood sugar
✨ Build neurotransmitters for mood & focus
✨ Support metabolism & hormone balance
✨ Repair tissues & support healing
✨ Improve energy, recovery & resilience.

When we aren’t getting enough protein, or we aren’t digesting and absorbing it well - the body can begin to feel depleted.

This can show up as:
• fatigue
• cravings
• anxiety or low mood
• poor concentration
• muscle loss
• blood sugar crashes
• slower metabolism
• difficulty healing
• hair, skin & nail changes

One of the biggest shifts I often see in clients is simply learning how to nourish their body consistently with enough protein and balanced meals throughout the day.

Nourishment is about learning to support your body with more awareness around what works best for you and then being consistent with this!

Small changes truly do create powerful transformations over time.

My favourite source of protein is fish. Which protein source is your favourite?👇

Are you eating enough protein? 🤷‍♀️
This is one of the most common things I see with my clients.
They’re simply not eating enough protein to truly support their body!
And honestly, recently I realised I was falling into the same pattern.
I could feel it:
👉Lower energy, less recovery from training, and just not feeling as supported in my body as I know I could be.
So let’s simplify this 👇

“How much protein should I be eating?”
The truth is - it’s not a one-size-fits-all answer.
Your protein needs depend on:
👉your body weight
👉your age
👉your activity level
👉your hormones & life stage
And this is where it gets important…
As we move through life (especially as women), our protein requirements actually increase:
to support muscle, metabolism, hormones and overall energy.
For me personally, this has shifted a lot over the last year.
Between perimenopause and the type of training I’m doing, my needs are higher than they used to be.
On training days, I aim for around 100g of protein, and I’ll be honest, that can feel like a stretch when you’re not relying on meat or pulses.
It takes a real focus and awareness, but the difference in how you feel is powerful.
If you’ve been feeling low in energy, struggling with recovery, or constantly hungry - then protein might be a missing piece.
I’d love to know - 
Are you consciously prioritising protein in your day?
Let me know in the comments.🙌
I’ll be sharing more soon on:
✨ simple protein food ideas
✨ why protein is a game changer for thyroid health
✨ and how it supports your energy & hormones
Save this for later if this is something you want to come back to 💫

Happy New Year of the Fire Horse. 🔥🐎
What a portal.
This past year has been a shedding:
layer by layer.
🐍Fear.
🐍Judgment.
🐍Ego.
But shedding isn’t loss.
It’s refinement.
It’s burning away what no longer aligns.
It’s moving closer to light.
And now we enter the Fire Horse 🐎🔥
life force.
🔥🐎Courage.
🔥🐎Creation.
A year that ignites.
The truth is - every day is a portal.
Every day we are given the chance to be reborn.
To grow.
To reflect.
To turn inward instead of putting our attention outward.
To move from the noise of the mind
into the wisdom of the heart.
Since I was a little girl, I’ve believed love matters more than money.
And today, I’m deeply grateful for the people who remind me that love is presence, truth, and coherence.
Love is the most powerful frequency we can generate.
So as this Fire Horse year begins ❣️
pause.
Hand on heart.
Breathe.
Feel gratitude.
When heart and intention align, we create coherence.
And coherent hearts radiate.
May this year be brave.
May it be luminous.
May it be led by the heart.
Shedding.
Igniting.
Becoming. 🔥🐎
