It’s hard to know what to do for the best when your hormones are all out of whack…here’s 3 things to avoid:

Don’t skip healthy fats - your body needs healthy fats such as avocados, olive oil and nuts. Low-fat diets can actually be more of a hindrance.

Ease up on the caffeine - excess caffeine can spike cortisol and throw your hormones even further out of sync, so avoid that second (or third) cup of coffee.

Get an early night - when you’re asleep, your body is actually doing its hormone-balancing thing, so ensure you’re getting plenty of it. There is no supplement that can replace good-quality sleep.

If you want to delve a bit deeper into your hormones, then book in for a free consultation and we can have a chat. https://www.yumnutrition.org/consultations/book-a-consultation/.

Here’s your annual reminder to stay hydrated! It’s so incredibly beneficial for our bodies, especially our skin, which is the largest organ we have.

What we put into our bodies affects not only how we feel, but how we look and our diet can have a big effect on our skin.

If you find it hard to consistently drink water, there’s so many other ways to increase hydration:

Eat water-rich foods such as cucumber, lettuce, watermelon, strawberries, tomatoes - the list goes on!

Drink herbal teas - they can be enjoyed both hot and cold and count towards your water consumption if you find drinking plain water difficult.

Eat soups and broths - vegetable or broth-based soups are great for hydration and also provide nutrients.

Drink milk - it contains water, protein and electrolytes, which help your body retain fluids.

Why don’t we have a full review of your nutrition together as part of my Nutrition Consultation Packages and work out some ways of increasing your water intake while we’re at it? We’ll spend 2 hours together and I will then go away and spend time researching and building a dynamic plan for you.

Before committing, you can book a free 30-minute consultation call to discuss your health goals and ask any questions you might have.

It’s not enough to just know what’s good to eat, it’s all about understanding why your body needs it.

Understanding how food affects your mood, energy, digestion and overall health is the first step to being able to go on to make choices that work for you, instead of relying on the latest diet fad.

If you're feeling confused about nutrition or unsure where to start, I'd love to help. Book a free consultation today. https://www.yumnutrition.org/consultations/book-a-consultation/

The internet is great for providing lots of information, but it can’t take your individual health, lifestyle or medical history into account, so before you ask Dr Google ‘why am I always bloated?’ It's important to note your symptoms and try to understand what’s causing them.

Regular bloating can be linked to:

The types of foods you're eating
Eating too quickly
Your gut microbiome
Stress
Food sensitivities
Not drinking enough fluids.

If bloating is becoming your new normal, let’s sit down and put together a personalised nutrition plan to help you identify potential triggers while making sure you're still getting the nutrients your body needs.

The most important thing you can do is make yourself a priority. With it being the summer holidays, it’s likely that things are already pretty hectic, however it can be really vital for both your physical and mental wellbeing.

Learn to say no - you can't do everything, so don't try.

Set boundaries - work out your boundaries and stick to them, it can feel uncomfortable at first but it's worth pushing through to find that freedom!

Eat nourishing food - choosing fresh, healthy food can give you more energy to deal with your daily challenges.

Drink more water - a hydrated body is a happy body! Water is essential for just about every process in your body, so making sure it has enough is important to keep you feeling great.

Rest - whether this is sleep or skipping a workout sometimes, rest is just as important as activity to keep your body healthy and happy.

Movement - enjoy moving your body, however you do it. Whether you prefer yoga, going for a walk, a class at the gym or something else entirely, movement is celebrating your body and what it does for you!

How does a weekend of yoga, nutrition workshops, life coaching, group hypnosis, delicious gluten free, 100% vegan meals, a mobile wood fired sauna, cold plunge sessions, and optional on site massages sound?

There are just a few, final spaces remaining on my retreat taking place on October 3 and 4 at the beautiful Tractors and Cream glamping site, just outside Bridgwater.

Treat yourself to some time to slow down, switch off and reconnect surrounded by peaceful woodland and greenery, cosy geodomes with real beds, and proper shower and toilet facilities, all designed to help you fully relax and recharge.

Don’t fear if you can’t make these dates as I’ve got plenty more exciting retreats planned very soon, so watch this space…

What’s happening on the skin’s surface is often a reflection of what’s going on inside.

When the gut lining becomes compromised, unwanted particles such as toxins, bacteria and undigested food can enter the bloodstream, triggering immune responses, inflammation and skin flare-ups such as psoriasis.

If the liver is overwhelmed and under-supported, due to poor diet, alcohol, medication or environmental toxins, it can struggle to process inflammatory compounds.

When the liver is sluggish, the body may push ‘excess waste’ through the skin, which leads to breakouts, rashes and chronic skin conditions.

As part of your work with me, we can look at how we can support your body from the inside out. We can work to identify any triggers, such as gluten, dairy or stress, balance your blood sugar and hormones and work on reducing inflammation through your diet and lifestyle.

With it being Psoriasis Action Month, now is the perfect time to take charge. Book in a FREE consultation call via https://my.practicebetter.io/ #/5eca2d132a98230728965624/bookings?s=5edb6e682a982306fcaf352b or drop me a DM.

We have seen some seriously extreme weather in recent weeks. When temperatures rise, your body has to work twice as hard to keep you cool. This uses up extra energy, even if you’re sitting still.

It also affects your quality of sleep, so even if you’re in bed for eight hours, you might be waking without realising it due to the heat, leaving you feeling less than refreshed the next day.

On top of all of that, dehydration can creep up on you, leading to tiredness, headaches and reduced concentration.

A few simple ways to help support your energy levels include:

- Drink water regularly throughout the day, not just when you feel thirsty.

- Eat balanced meals that include protein, healthy fats and fibre to help maintain steady energy.

- Snack on water rich foods like watermelon, cucumber and strawberries.

- Be mindful of caffeine intake, as too much can contribute to dehydration for some people and may affect your sleep later in the day.

If you're constantly feeling fatigued, even after making healthy changes, it may be worth looking at your diet and lifestyle more closely. Sometimes your body is trying to tell you something.

Have you noticed you're more tired during hot weather?
