Just a few things that spark joy in me….

✨Cuddles are an obvious one but they release oxytocin (aptly nicknamed the cuddle hormone) which promotes bonding, trust and regulates stress - no wonder it’s joyful!

✨Walking in the forest with friends is such a lovely way to catch up with people and I always feel joyful afterwards.

✨Being at the beach and by the sea exposes you to negative ions which improve mood and wellbeing, so that’s one reason why people feel so happy at the beach.

✨Lazy weekends with family is where real connection lies - our lives are busy with school and work and so slow weekends with few plans means more quality time and better conversations rather than rushing around from one activity to the next.

✨ needs no explanation!

🚨 Big news for women’s health: as of today, PCOS officially has a new name.

Polycystic O***y Syndrome is now called Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome (PMOS). The change was announced today in The Lancet, following more than a decade of consultation with researchers, clinicians, and over 14,000 women living with the condition.

Why does this matter? Because the old name was misleading.

Polycystic o***y syndrome suggested the condition was about cysts on the ovaries, but cysts aren’t actually a defining feature, and many women without any cysts were being told they didn’t qualify for a diagnosis. The name kept this condition stuck in the ‘reproductive issue’ box, when it’s actually a complex, multi-system hormonal condition affecting metabolism, blood sugar, skin, mental health, and long-term cardiovascular risk.

1 in 8 women has this condition. That’s over 3.1 million women in the UK. And many are still undiagnosed.

Swipe through to learn:
✓ What PMOS is and why the name has changed
✓ The symptoms most women miss
✓ The long-term health risks worth knowing about
✓ Where nutrition genuinely makes a difference

I’m nearly 44, perimenopausal, and my skin has been feeling much more dehydrated lately 🙃

As a nutritionist, I’ve always eaten well to support my skin but if I’m honest it needs a bit more help staying hydrated these days.

My new non-negotiable is Evening Primrose Oil.

It’s rich in GLA (an omega-6 fatty acid) that works at the cellular level to support the skin barrier and help it hold onto moisture. So skin actually feels softer and smoother.

What I love about this product is the dropper. I take it as a supplement (either straight into my mouth or mix it into my smoothie - it’s completely tasteless) and apply it straight onto my skin, for hydration from the inside-out with no faff.

If your skin has been feeling a bit thirsty lately, try this and let me know what difference you notice!

I made up this recipe for prawn & mango fishcakes last night and it’s so good I had to upgrade it to the grid. Please make them, you’ll love them!

Prawn & Mango Fishcakes recipe:

INGREDIENTS:
70g frozen mango
500g prawns
4 garlic cloves, peeled
1 inch ginger, peeled
1 lemon grass
1 tsp sea salt
Juice of half a lime
1 egg
3 tbsp cornflour

METHOD:
Put all the ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth (or keep some texture if your prefer by not blending for as long). Tip out into a bowl, If the mixture feels too wet then add another spoon of cornflour. Spoon out into a medium-hot frying pan (oiled with olive oil) and fry until golden (approx. 5 mins on each side). Serve with noodles, rice or quinoa with cucumber, grated carrot and edamame beans. Sprinkle coriander, sesame seeds and a little soy sauce over the top for flavour.

Anxiety, brain fog, poor sleep, weight gain, losing my sense of identity… I just don’t feel like myself anymore… I hear this over and over again from women in perimenopause and most brush it off for months or years, and just put up with it.

But it doesn’t have to be this way. In my latest Substack post I break down how our changing hormones are influencing all of these things and why we can absolutely improve these symptoms with food and lifestyle strategies. We don’t have to suffer in silence!

Eating with the seasons supports your body with what it needs right now. Seasonal foods are often more nutrient-dense, easier to digest and aligned with what our bodies need at that time of year. Spring is finally here and food is getting lighter. Let’s celebrate with a delicious rhubarb crumble!

Chocolate cake energy balls 🍫🍄‍🟫

This is the perfect snack for when you’re craving chocolate but want more benefits than just a sugar hit!

I used the Clarity mushroom superblend which contains cordyceps, maitake and lion’s mane to support focus, energy and mental performance. These energy bites are also high in protein and healthy fat to stave off hunger, support energy and mental alertness.

Check the comments for the recipe ⬇️

🥦 February is a quiet celebration of brassicas and sulphur-rich veg. Packed with vitamin C, these vegetables naturally support immunity, liver detoxification, and gut health at this time of year.

Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, kale, leeks, purple sprouting broccoli, savoy cabbage and parsnips all come into their own now, offering the nutrients that we need right now.

Hearty, grounding and perfectly seasonal, these winter vegetables are a reminder that eating with the seasons is one of the simplest ways to support the body through the colder months.
