Holidays are good for your health. And I’m half way through 10 days of proving just that right now. Obviously dear readers, I have your best interests at heart being in Barbados at this time of year *cough*. Strictly research purposes, a need to prove exactly why holidays are so good for us. For […]

Along with the time between bikini wax appointments my carbohydrate intake this winter has been steadily increasing. Now, where there are good carbs and big knickers, neither present a particularly big problem. Unless that is, you’re gearing up for a winter sun holiday. Where there is a need to prepare for the beach there is a […]

This week I had my first ever appointment with functional medicine supremo, Dr Georges Mouton. I mentioned I was lucky enough to sit in on several of Dr Mouton’s consultations during the summer break from college. But I’ve always been a firm believer that there’s often no better way to learn than being your own […]

I won’t lie, this week has been 100% MEH! Most unlike me, I know. I’ve been wading through pages and pages of notes; text books that weigh the same as a baby elephant and generally going round and round in circles when it comes to which enzyme metabolises what during digestion. But here’s the thing, […]

Did you know it’s National Sausage week here in the UK? There’s no denying it, I do love a good bit of sausage *snort*. But here’s the thing. There’s sausage and then there’s sausage. Or so my husband tells me *cough*. If your sausage isn’t made with proper pork and the highest quality other ingredients […]

I feel I’ve paid the price this week for every smug Tweet, Facebook status update and Instagram post that graced my social media feeds during warmer, happier times. It’s been wet in Wales this week. Really wet. But in between drenchings I’ve consoled myself with nutritional wisdom and food. Hearty, wholesome, warming fare. This week […]

Earlier this week I had the pleasure of being invited to Shoreditch House by good friend, mentor, trainer and legend StreTch Rayner. StreTch is running a series of talks about Paleo over the coming weeks and asked me along to share my experiences with his keen and eager group. Here’s a snapshot of the talk […]

This week’s round up looks back at some of the things I’ve eaten this week with a particular focus on clean eating on a budget. There are tonnes of online resources and other blog posts that cover this topic but I’ve always found them a bit broad brush and not necessarily realistic – e.g. buy […]

Dearest Mothership, Happy Birthday. We always did pretty well out of you being another year older, didn’t we? I’m having a slightly painful flashback to this time last year and my over exuberant gesticulating (standard) that resulted in three out of five glasses of freshly poured champagne hitting the decks / my lap. If I […]

Amongst friends and family and indeed anyone that’s ever eaten alongside me, I’m known as one of life’s biggest carnivores. But I’m going vegetarian. *Twice a week. October is a huge month of change for my husband and I from a lifestyle point of view. My BCNH studies are in full swing, we’ve finally moved […]
