Andddd my blood test results are in! ✨

I really recommend for a slick and painless process, they also provide a really simple guide to make sure you are collecting your blood correctly.

I tested 38 biomarkers, of which 4 were surprisingly out of range! It’s important to note that stress and lifestyle factors can influence nutrient levels so they will fluctuate based on nutrient intake, activity level and stress.

For me personally my copper levels were slightly low, so I will focus on increasing foods like liver, shellfish, cashew nuts, lentils and beans.

My free T4 was suboptimal, so increasing foods like eggs, oily fish, Brazil nuts and dairy will support here.

Globulin & total protein were also low (probably due to overtraining) so supplementing with a high quality whey supplement powder after training will be supportive here. I highly recommend for high quality whey protein that tastes great!

If you’ve ever eaten the same breakfast, lunch, snack or meal every day for weeks before suddenly going off it, you’re not alone.

Many people with ADHD report becoming fixated on specific foods due to their predictability, reward value and sensory appeal.

The goal isn’t to eliminate your favourite foods.

It’s to make sure they’re helping you fuel your energy, focus and performance rather than replacing other important nutrients.

What’s your current food fixation? 👇

Most people completely ignore their nutrition in the heat.

They keep eating, drinking, and training the exact same way while wondering why they feel:

• More tired
• More irritable
• More dehydrated
• Less focused
• Less motivated to train

But hot weather changes your nutritional needs.

You lose more fluids, sodium, potassium, and magnesium through sweat, while appetite often drops at the exact time your body needs more support.

Even mild dehydration can negatively affect mood, concentration, memory, and physical performance.

This is why nutrition in summer should focus on:

• Hydration + electrolytes
• Water-rich foods
• Consistent protein intake
• Lighter meals that digest easily
• Recovery + sleep support

Small changes can make a huge difference to your energy, mood, and performance during hotter months.

What’s one thing you notice changes for you in the heat?

For years, I thought results came from eating as little as possible.

Skipping meals.
Cutting out foods I enjoyed.
Trying to “make up” for weekends by being extra strict on Mondays.

And honestly? It only made me more exhausted, more obsessed with food, and less confident in my body.

What actually changed my body composition, energy and mindset was learning how to eat consistently.

Balanced meals.
Enough protein.
Enough fuel.
A routine I could actually maintain.

Because your body responds far better to feeling safe, nourished and supported than it does to cycles of restriction and guilt.

You do not need to be perfect to see results.
You need an approach you can stick to. 💛

If you’re tired of starting over every Monday and want support building healthier habits that actually last, I have two slots available to start next month.

Trying to lose fat by purely focusing on calories completely ignores how well your body metabolises food.

Research in chrononutrition suggests the body is naturally more insulin sensitive earlier in the day, meaning blood sugar regulation and energy utilisation tend to work more efficiently during daylight hours.

One pattern I commonly see?

Skipping breakfast, running on coffee, and then becoming overly hungry in the evening and eating most calories late at night.

Eating more consistently throughout the day, particularly including protein and fibre earlier on, may help support:

appetite regulation
energy stability
reduced cravings
better food choices
sustainable fat loss

Fat loss becomes much easier when your body doesn’t constantly feel stressed, depleted or under-fuelled.

Trying to improve your health by googling symptoms and buying random supplements can leave you feeling more confused than when you started.

Because your body doesn’t work in isolated parts.

Low energy might not just be “burnout”.
Digestive symptoms might not just be a “sensitive stomach”.
Weight struggles might not just be about calorie intake.

Everything in the body is connected.

This is why functional nutrition focuses on identifying patterns, understanding root causes and looking at the body as a whole system.

A personalised approach means understanding:

your lifestyle
your stress levels
your eating habits
your symptoms
your blood work
your behaviours
your routines

Because real progress happens when the right strategy is built for YOUR body.

Not from trying another generic health trend you saw online.

For a long time I believed that being disciplined with food meant being restrictive.

In reality, I was working against my body.

It affected my energy, my skin, my body composition and how I felt day to day.

The turning point came when I shifted my focus from control to support.

By fuelling my body properly, everything became more stable. My energy improved, my cravings reduced and my body composition became easier to manage.

This experience now underpins how I work with clients.

I help busy professionals and athletes support their energy, focus and performance through a more informed and sustainable approach to nutrition.

If this resonates, I’d be interested to hear what part stood out most 💛

Ever find yourself snacking every night and wondering why?

Before blaming willpower, ask yourself this.

Did I eat enough during the day?

I see this time and time again in my clinic.

Breakfast gets skipped.
Lunch is light or rushed.

And by the evening your body is simply trying to catch up, so you snack.

Then the next morning you’re not hungry.

Which means you delay eating again… and by lunchtime you’re starving and choose the most convenient option available!

And the cycle repeats.

What many people don’t realise is that our metabolism and insulin sensitivity tend to be higher earlier in the day, meaning the body is often better equipped to process food then, rather than late at night.

So instead of fighting evening cravings, try shifting your food earlier.

Eat a proper breakfast.
Eat a balanced lunch.

You might notice your energy stabilises and those evening cravings start to disappear.

If this cycle sounds familiar, this is exactly what we address inside my nutrition programmes.

Two years ago I did my first Hyrox.

I trained hard.
Four Hyrox specific sessions every week.

Sled pushes.
Burpees.
Wall balls.

On paper, I was prepared.

But I was also stressed, not sleeping well, and the night before the race I even had a few drinks 🙈

During the race I felt awful. At one point I genuinely thought I might throw up.

I still finished with a decent time.

But afterwards I had massive anxiety because I felt like I had let myself down.

Fast forward two years to Hyrox number two.

This time I actually trained less, but worked more on my form.

I also made sure I was well fuelled in the lead up to the race.

My race effort felt similar.

And my finishing time? Almost identical.

But the experience was completely different.

This time I left buzzing and proud of my performance 🤗

So, which one was more successful?

The one where I pushed harder, or the one where I supported my body better?

Ever wondered if nutrition could be the missing piece to feeling stronger, leaner and more energised?

This week I’m BEYOND EXCITED to invite the local community to pop into my nutrition clinic at Three Sixty in Walton on Thames for a free 15 minute chat!!

No pressure. Just a relaxed conversation about your goals and how nutrition might help you move closer to them.

In clinic I often see people who are:

• Training regularly but struggling to change body composition
• Feeling low on energy despite eating “healthy”
• Experiencing gut symptoms that affect daily life
• Wanting to improve strength, endurance or performance
• Unsure what foods actually support their training and recovery

Sometimes one short conversation can highlight small nutrition changes that make a huge difference.

If you’re curious about how food could support your body, performance and overall health, feel free to come and say hello.

I’ll be at the clinic inside Three Sixty and happy to chat.

Send me a message or speak to the team at reception to book your free 15 minute chat and we can explore what might work for you.

Looking forward to meeting some of you locally 💛
