Apples to Zinc Nutrition is 12 today!

I can't quite believe I've been running my little business for 12 years.

Over that time I've worked with so many lovely clients, given talks and workshops, written hundreds of posts, blogs and newsletters and spent a LOT of time talking about food!

But mostly, I've been lucky enough to spend 12 years doing a job I genuinely love.

So today I just want to say a massive THANK YOU.

To everyone who has trusted me with their nutrition, recommended me to someone, read a blog or newsletter, come along to one of my talks, or liked, commented on or shared something I've posted — you've all played a part in keeping Apples to Zinc going.

And those likes, comments, shares and recommendations really do matter to a small business like mine.

So if you fancy giving Apples to Zinc a little birthday present today, please share this post, tag someone who might like my content or simply keep spreading the word. It would mean a lot.

Here's to year 13 🥂

Why is it that you can start the day with every intention of eating well… and then 3pm arrives and suddenly all you can think about is biscuits, chocolate or another coffee?

There is actually a biological reason why afternoons can feel harder.

We naturally experience a dip in alertness during the afternoon as part of our circadian rhythm. But what you've eaten earlier in the day, how well you've slept, stress, hydration and how much you've moved can all influence how you feel when that dip arrives.

So if you're regularly tired, hungry and craving something sweet at 3pm, don't automatically assume you need more willpower.

And don't just look at what you're eating at 3pm either.

Look at your breakfast. Look at your lunch. Have you eaten enough? Have you had some protein and fibre? How much water have you drunk? Have you moved away from your desk?

Sometimes the best way to tackle the afternoon slump is to start much earlier in the day.

Do We Really Need To Be Scared Of Ultra Processed Foods?

I'm running a FREE online talk in September where I'll cut through some of the noise and explain what the evidence actually tells us about UPFs — and how to make realistic choices without feeling you need to cook everything from scratch.

Do you really need MORE protein?

Protein seems to be everywhere at the moment.
Protein yoghurts. Protein bars. Protein bread. Protein water (yes, really!).
And women are increasingly being told they need to prioritise protein at every opportunity.

Now, I'm a big fan of getting enough protein. It's important for muscle, strength, appetite and healthy ageing.
But...
More protein isn't always the answer.

Because when we become too focused on hitting a protein target, it's surprisingly easy to forget about some of the other things our bodies need too such as fibre, plant foods, healthy fats, carbs and variety!

In Friday's newsletter I'm making sense of the protein hype
I'll be covering how much do we actually need – and when does prioritising protein stop being helpful?

The biggest mistake women make when they get home from holiday…

I came home from holiday last week and there were a few things I deliberately **didn’t** do.

And I think they’re just as important as what I did do.

Because you really don’t need to “undo” a holiday.

That’s what I’m talking about in this Friday’s newsletter.

I DIDN'T COME HOME FEELING GUILTY!

I used to think holidays had to be one of two things.

Either...

Be "good" all week.

Or...

Eat absolutely everything because *"I'm on holiday."*

The older I've got (and the longer I've worked as a Nutritional Therapist), the more I've realised there is another option.

Enjoy the holiday.

Eat foods you genuinely want.

Have the dessert.

Drink the cocktail.

Fill your plate with foods you know help you feel good.

Move because it feels enjoyable—not because you're trying to undo lunch.

And perhaps most importantly...

**Enjoy the luxury of somebody else cooking and washing up for a change!**

For me, an all-inclusive holiday has never been about eating as much as possible.

**It's about having the freedom to choose from lots of lovely food without having to think about meal planning, shopping, cooking or clearing away afterwards. That, to me, is the real luxury.**

I came home having enjoyed cocktails, ice cream, lovely meals, family time, a few gym sessions, aqua aerobics, plenty of walking and a good book by the pool.

I also came home without guilt.

Because one week doesn't define your health.

The habits you return to afterwards are what really matter.

Healthy eating isn't about trying to "be good" on holiday.

**It's about enjoying the holiday you've worked hard for, then coming home and slipping back into the habits that help you feel your best.**

💚 I'd love to know...

What's your favourite thing about an all-inclusive holiday?

One of the biggest myths about health is that it's all about one thing.
• One food.
• One supplement.
• One workout.
• One habit.

The reality is that our health is influenced by lots of different factors, many of which work together.
That's one of the reasons I rarely focus on just food when I'm working with clients.
Yes, nutrition is incredibly important.
But so are sleep, stress, movement, strength, hydration and taking time to switch off.
The good news?
You don't have to change everything overnight.
Small improvements in several areas often feel much more achievable than trying to completely overhaul one.
If you're feeling overwhelmed, choose one area from the wheel.
Start there.
Once that feels manageable, choose another.
Healthy eating, and health in general, is rarely about doing everything perfectly.
It's about moving in the right direction, one step at a time.

♥ Which area of the wheel do you think would make the biggest difference to your health right now?
