Former solicitor talking about brain health at Legal Geek. That wasn’t on my bingo card 20 years ago.
Less than a week to go until I take to the stage.
When we think about performance, we often focus on technology, productivity tools and time management.
But how much attention do we give to the piece of technology that’s making every decision, analysing every document and powering every client conversation?
Our brains.
At Legal Geek, I’ll be sharing some of the science behind focus, energy and cognitive performance, along with practical strategies that busy professionals can actually use.
Looking forward to seeing familiar faces, meeting new ones and spending time with some brilliant people at the intersection of law and technology.
If you’re coming along, I’d love to say hello.

We spend so much time trying to optimise our health.
The right foods.
The right supplements.
The right exercise.
And those things are great.
But sometimes health looks like something much simpler.
Stopping for a moment.
Feeling the sunshine on your face.
Taking in the scent of a rose.
Noticing what’s around you.
A gentle reminder that not every healthy habit needs to be productive.
Wishing you a relaxing unproductive weekend.

I’ve just set up my heart rate monitor and discovered something quite reassuring.
Many of us assume that to improve our fitness or burn fat we need to be pushing ourselves to exhaustion.
But Zone 2, the intensity where your body uses a higher proportion of fat for fuel, is often much gentler than people think.
A good rule of thumb? You should still be able to hold a conversation.
For me, that’s a brisk walk and a good gossip.
As someone who works with busy women, I think that’s a helpful reminder.
Health doesn’t always have to be extreme to be effective.
Sometimes a walk with a friend ticks more boxes than we realise:
✓ Movement
✓ Fresh air
✓ Stress relief
✓ Connection
Not bad for something that’s free.
Have you ever checked your heart rate during exercise?

We spend so much time focusing on cholesterol, blood sugar, movement and diet.

And, those things do matter.

But one of the most striking findings from the Harvard Study of Adult Development was this:

“It wasn’t their middle-age cholesterol levels that predicted how they were going to grow old. It was how satisfied they were in their relationships.”

A few things worth prioritising this week:
• Call a friend you’ve been meaning to catch up with
• Make time for a coffee, walk or meal with someone you enjoy being with
• Join a club, class or community group
• Put your phone away during family meals
• Invest in the relationships that light you up
We often think of health as something we do alone.
The evidence suggests it’s something we build together.
Who would you invite to your table?

Want to quiet down food noise?

One of the most effective ways to do that is to start the day with a breakfast that actually fills you up.
This is one I keep coming back to because it’s simple, delicious and packed with protein, fibre and healthy fats.

My overnight oats recipe:
30g oats
½ courgette, grated then squeeze out excess water
80g mixed berries
1 tbsp chia seeds
1 tbsp ground flaxseed
100g Greek yoghurt
150–200ml whole milk

Mix together and leave overnight in the fridge.

In the morning, top with:
1 tbsp mixed seeds

✔️ Around 25g protein
✔️ Around 15g fibre
✔️ Helps keep me fuller for longer
✔️ Supports steadier energy
✔️ A simple way to increase plant diversity

And the bonus is... less thinking about food and more getting on with your day.

Because when your breakfast works for you, you don’t spend all morning wondering what to eat next.

Would you try courgette in your overnight oats?

Could tiny needles really make a difference?

I recently visited Rebecca at in Otford.

Rebecca supports women through hormonal changes, fertility, pregnancy and the many demands of daily life.

One of the reasons I enjoy connecting with practitioners like Rebecca is that we share a similar approach. Rather than simply managing symptoms, we both look for the underlying imbalances that may be contributing to how someone is feeling.

I’ve had acupuncture several times throughout my life, and I’m always amazed by the sense of calm and renewed energy I feel after a session.

What really stood out this time was Rebecca herself. Not only is she incredibly skilled (I couldn’t feel the needles being inserted), but her warmth and calm manner put me at ease straight away and made the whole experience a pleasure.

It’s always lovely to discover local practitioners who are helping people feel their best.

Have you tried acupuncture?

“I think my metabolism has slowed down.”

It’s one of the most common things I hear from women in midlife.

But metabolism is about far more than simply “burning calories”. Sleep, stress, muscle mass, hormones, under eating, movement and blood sugar regulation all play a role in how your body uses energy.

Sometimes what feels like a “slow metabolism” is actually the body adapting to years of dieting, stress and chronic under fuelling.

In this week’s newsletter, I’m busting some of the biggest metabolism myths and explaining what really helps support metabolic health in midlife.

Comment METABOLISM and I’ll send you the link, or sign up via the link in my bio.

Your digestion does not start with the first proper bite.
If you tend to eat quickly, feel heavy after meals, or go straight from stress to dinner, this simple habit may help.
Starting your meal with something bitter, like rocket, may help stimulate the digestive process by encouraging saliva and other digestive secretions before the main meal arrives.
Think of it as a gentle nudge to switch your body from “go, go, go” into rest and digest mode.
I like a quick handful of rocket with olive oil and lemon before dinner. Simple, cheap, fast.
Not magic. Just physiology.
Have you tried this?

Stuck in a cycle of weight loss and regain and another Monday where you’re ‘starting again’?

Maybe your body doesn’t need more restriction.
Maybe it needs a different approach.

One that supports:
• stable blood sugar
• enough protein
• better sleep
• strength and muscle
• realistic habits

Extreme plans can work short term.
But sustainable health is built through consistency, not punishment.

Sometimes the body simply responds better to steadier habits than repeated extremes.

Small changes repeated consistently will always beat another drastic reset.

Made this gorgeous chickpea stew inspired by

Full recipe linked in the comments.

I didn’t have enough fresh tomatoes, so I added a tin instead, and made the yoghurt extra lemony with the juice of a whole lemon

Chickpeas are one of my favourite staples for midlife health because they’re packed with fibre, plant protein, magnesium and slow-release carbohydrates, helping to support gut health, stable energy and blood sugar balance.

Comfort food that nourishes you back.
