On a GLP-1, your appetite has naturally settled — and that's a real opportunity. With a little less on your plate, every bite gets the chance to work harder for you. Here's how to make it count.

🥚 Protein first — your muscle's best friend. Aim for around 25g a meal. It doesn't have to be a chicken breast: eggs, chickpeas, edamame, h**p seeds and feta in a colourful bowl gets you there beautifully.

🌈 Fibre — your gut will love you for it. These meds slow digestion, so fibre keeps everything comfortable. Build it up gradually — little by little is the way.

✨ Top up the good stuff. Eating less means fewer vitamins and minerals coming in. Iron, B vitamins, zinc, magnesium and vitamin D are the ones I keep a close eye on for my clients.

Smaller plates, yes. Smaller nutrition, never. This is how you come through feeling strong, nourished and full of energy.

Something I hear so often at this time of year — "I'll start in September, once the summer's over."

You've got holidays coming, people visiting, long lunches, rosé in the sun. The last thing you want is to be the one "on a diet" while everyone else is relaxing and enjoying themselves. I get it — and I'd never want that for you either.

But here's what I gently remind people: working with me has never been about restriction, willpower, or "being good." It's about understanding your body well enough that a long lunch or a holiday meal becomes something to enjoy — not something to fear or "make up for" afterwards.

Starting before the summer doesn't mean missing out. More often it means heading into it feeling steadier, calmer and more at ease around food — so you can be fully present for the holiday instead of quietly worrying about it.

You really don't have to choose between looking after yourself and enjoying your summer. You can have both. 💛

A little note on timing: I'm seeing clients until 3rd July, then again 13th–27th July, before taking my own summer break — back from 20th August. (Yes, I practise what I preach — rest matters too! 🌞)

So if you'd love a gentle start before the summer, I've a few free discovery call spots open now. And if it feels easier to begin when I'm back in August, we can happily pencil that in too. Whatever suits you — no pressure, ever.

If you're on a GLP-1 — Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro — you've already got something working in your favour. 💪 Here's how to make the most of it and come out the other side feeling genuinely strong.

The medication does a brilliant job with appetite. What you do with your nutrition alongside it is what turns weight loss into a real transformation — more energy, more strength, and results that actually stay.

The secret is protecting your muscle as you go. Muscle is what keeps your metabolism humming, your body strong, and your energy high — so when we look after it, you don't just get lighter, you get stronger.

That's exactly the work we do together: keeping you strong, filling in the nutrient gaps, and building food habits that carry you long after the medication has done its part.

The medication is the tool. Nutrition and movement are what make it last. 🌿

I've put it all on the blog — protein, muscle, fibre, the lot. Well worth a read if this is you. 👇

We're into Week 1 of the Gut Health Challenge — and the group chat is already full of recipe photos and questions. I love this part. 🌿

People often ask me what the challenge actually is, so here it is simply: 21 days of real, whole food to reset your gut. 🦠
Your gut runs so much more than your digestion — your energy, your immunity, your skin, your mood, even how you manage your weight all trace back to it. So over three weeks we get proper food onto your plate, build a few habits that genuinely stick, and let your gut do what it does best when you actually feed it well.

No supplements. No powders. No miracle promises. Just food, simple recipes, and me guiding you through each week. 🍓
Week 1 is all about laying the foundation — understanding the why, and getting started with the recipes. By the end of the 21 days, most people tell me they're less bloated, more regular, and have more energy than they've had in ages.

Want in? You've got two ways:

🌿 Go self-paced — do the whole thing on your own schedule, any time https://l.bttr.to/Hta9W

Creatine only works if you take it every day. That is the part most people miss.

Creatine and your brain. We are starting to hear more and more about it — and the research genuinely surprised me when I first looked into it properly.

Your brain is one of the most energy-hungry organs in your body. And phosphocreatine plays a real role in keeping it running well under pressure — whether that is a hard training day or back-to-back meetings.

A 2024 systematic review found that creatine supplementation positively supports memory, attention, and processing speed in adults. That is not a small thing.

It might even be what helps you reduce that afternoon coffee that is getting in the way of your sleep.
I take 5g every morning. On busier days, I add a little more. I notice the difference — and so do some of my clients.

Something I have been putting a lot of heart into this year.

In October, Fiona from Paradise Cycling and I — together we run The Cycling & Nutrition Retreat — are teaming up for the first time with GravelUp for something a little different. A gravel cycling retreat in the Pays Basque, in the foothills of the Pyrenees.

My favourite moment of every retreat we have hosted over the last four years has been meeting new people, sharing meals together, sharing stories, sharing moments. It is so recharging and so special.

And I want that for you.

Do not worry if you are not the strongest on the bike. Do not worry if the last time you did yoga was during Covid. We have different groups and cater for all levels — always. No one is ever left behind and you will have a hand full of fantastic guides.

Here is what some of our previous guests had to say 👇
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Vibe 11/10 — welcoming, friendly, fun, supportive, inclusive and personal"
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "I returned home feeling great both physically and mentally"
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "It's a true wellness retreat. Will definitely come back"
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Food was honestly the best I've ever had on holidays"

25th to 30th October 2026. Up to 20 people. All levels welcome.

Feel free to reach out — I would love to have you join us.

Something I do not think women hear often enough.

We have naturally lower creatine stores than men — around 70 to 80% of male levels. And yet we lose muscle faster after 35, particularly as oestrogen declines during perimenopause.

This is exactly when creatine becomes most relevant. Not for bodybuilding. For feeling strong, recovering well, and supporting your body through the changes that come with age.

The research backs this up — and I wrote about it properly in my latest blog. Link in bio 👆

Creatine is one of the most researched supplements out there — mostly known for bodybuilders, but we are now seeing real benefits for women, active people, and brain health that I think are worth knowing about.

Whether you train, play padel, cycle, or simply want to feel sharper and recover better — I just published a full breakdown on my blog.

Also, I currently have a few spots open for 1:1 nutrition consultations in Almancil or Online — feel free to reach out or book a Discovery call to know more.
