Saw this study and had to share it because it says exactly what I see in clinic, the meds work, but nobody's telling people what to actually eat while on them. Appetite drops, so does nutrient intake and protein especially falls short right when your body needs it most to hold onto muscle.

This is genuinely the whole reason I don't think GLP-1 meds should be used on their own. If you're on one (or thinking about it) and want a plan that actually accounts for what your body needs, that's exactly what we build in the Wellness Reset.

Saw a new study on this and it confirmed exactly what I see in clinic, people on GLP-1 meds across the board they were falling short on fibre, calcium, iron, magnesium, potassium, and vitamin A, C, D and E.

Appetite just drops, so whatever you're eating has to work a lot harder to cover the basics.

Doesn't mean the medication's the problem. It means it needs a plan behind it, not just the injection on its own. This is exactly what we build into the Wellness Reset if you're on one (or thinking about starting).

This is your reminder that your plan doesn’t need to be perfect. (Life isn’t.)

It needs to fit your actual life. Busy weeks, low energy days, dinners out, cravings and all.

That’s what makes it sustainable. This is what I aim for with every single client who works with me.

I only take on a small number of clients at a time, on purpose, so everyone actually gets the support they need. This month's spots for the Spring Reset are nearly gone!

If you've been meaning to start and kept putting it off, this is your nudge. Not January, now, while there's still time to actually feel the difference before summer.

Skipping breakfast or pushing it to 11 am might feel productive, but your body has a very different opinion.

When you wake up and don’t eat, cortisol stays elevated for longer than it should. That keeps your blood sugar unstable, drives mid-morning cravings, and sets off a blood sugar rollercoaster that affects your energy and mood for the entire day.

Eating within an hour of waking sends a signal to your body that it’s safe, that food is available, that it can ease off the cortisol, that it can start properly metabolising.

It doesn’t have to be a huge meal. A couple of eggs. Some Greek yoghurt. A protein smoothie. Something with protein and fat. Just eat within the hour.
Try it for the next few days and notice what changes in your energy and your appetite. 💛

Save this. If your blood sugar, cortisol and energy are all over the place, let’s look at the full picture. Follow Lee | Nutritionist & Metabolic Balance Practitioner for more healthy tips.

Most "I've lost motivation" stories are actually blood sugar stories. Skip breakfast or just have toast on its own, and by 3pm you're running on empty, tired, cranky, reaching for whatever's closest.

Three things that actually fix it: protein first thing (eggs, yoghurt, whatever), never eat carbs on their own, and don't go more than a few hours without eating.

This is genuinely 80% of what I talk about in clinic! Small consistent steps make the biggest difference.

I get asked about intermittent fasting constantly. And my answer is always the same it depends entirely on YOUR body, YOUR hormones and YOUR history.
Here is what the conversation often leaves out. For women, particularly those in perimenopause or dealing with hormonal imbalance, extended fasting windows can actually work against you. When you skip meals, cortisol rises to maintain your blood sugar. And chronically elevated cortisol disrupts the delicate balance of oestrogen and progesterone that is already shifting during perimenopause.
The result? More fatigue. More mood swings. More belly fat. More cravings. The exact opposite of what you were hoping for.
This does not mean fasting is always wrong. For some people in the right circumstances, it can be a useful tool. But blindly following a trend without understanding how it interacts with your specific hormonal picture is where so many women get stuck.
This is exactly why I look at the full picture before making any recommendations. Because what works brilliantly for one woman can make things significantly worse for another.
Your hormones deserve a more personalised approach than a trending eating window.

Skinny is trending. And honestly I find that really sad.
Because a smaller number on the scale tells you nothing about how nourished you are. How strong your bones are. How well your hormones are functioning. How much energy you have to actually live your life.
I don’t want that for my clients. I want them nourished, strong, energised and thriving in a body that feels good from the inside out.

That’s always going to be the goal here.

Not a meal prep girl but this one I actually make, because Monday-me is always rushing and needs lunch sorted without thinking about it.

Grilled chicken, whatever greens are in the fridge or in season, quinoa, avo if we've got it, seeds on top, olive oil and lemon. That's it!

Keeps you full and steady till dinner instead of crashing by 3pm. Full recipe's in the November newsletter, link in bio to sign up!

Are you sick of telling yourself the same story, that you'll start looking after yourself "when the weather's nice," every single year?

The weather's nice now and the holidays will be here faster than you think.

If you keep pushing it to "next week" or "after summer," this is me gently pointing out that next week always turns into next year. Spots are limited this month if you're ready to actually do it this time, link in bio.
