I’m a nutritionist, but I don’t believe health means spending your life thinking about food.

Because honestly, food matters. Protein matters. Fibre matters. Plants matter. What we eat can have a huge impact on our hormones, gut health, metabolic health and how we feel.

But it is one part of your health, not the whole bloody thing.

Sometimes health is walking around a very wet Scottish town, eating something you wouldn’t normally eat, discovering somewhere new, laughing with people, getting rained on and having absolutely no idea how much protein you’ve consumed that day. 😂

I want my clients to use nutrition to build a life they enjoy, not build their entire life around nutrition â™„ïžđŸ’œ

Holiday so far
 🇬🇧🏮

A little collection of where we’ve been, what we’ve eaten and the things that have made me stop and think, bloody hell, this is beautiful. 😂

One of my favourite things about travelling is meeting people from all over the world, hearing their stories and learning from them. 🧡

1. London | Big Ben 🇬🇧
A proper London moment. Big Ben looking ridiculously majestic against that blue sky.

2. Leake Street Arches 🎹
Colourful, chaotic and bloody cool. A completely different side of London.

3. Borough Market đŸ„
Where apparently every pastry known to humanity has gathered in one place. 😂

4. Paella 🩐
And then we found this absolute monster. Loaded with seafood and bloody delicious.

5. Oxford University 🎬
Beautiful architecture and, completely unexpectedly, an actual film set. They were filming a movie while we were there!

6. English pub đŸș
Cobblestones, old buildings and a proper traditional pub. Very English and very lovely.

7. Grasmere 🌿
Little stone buildings, the river through the village and the Lake District hills. Just gorgeous.

8. Grasmere Gingerbread đŸ€Ž
Best gingerbread ever. Went back for more
 40 people in the queue. 😂

9. Edinburgh Castle 🏰
Perched on an extinct volcano and the site of 26 attempts to take it. Standing up there, you can see why it was such a formidable stronghold.

10. Haggis Ceremony đŸ„ƒ
Bagpipes, wh**ky and the ceremonial addressing of the haggis. 😂 A very Scottish experience.

11. Scottish Breakfast 🍳
Eggs, bacon, beans, mushrooms, tattie scone and haggis. When in Scotland! đŸ„°

And that’s the holiday so far

WHAT THE F**K HAPPENED TO FOOD? 😂

I’m feeling particularly passionate about this one.

Have we
 lost the plot a little?

Do we really need to add protein to flavoured powdered coffee? To rice? To puréed fruit? To absolutely every bloody thing we put in our mouths?

Now, before the protein police arrive: yes, protein is important.

As a clinical nutritionist, I talk to my clients — particularly women in midlife — about protein a lot. It plays an important role in maintaining muscle mass, supporting healthy ageing, keeping us satiated and helping us meet our nutritional needs.

But somewhere along the way, I think we’ve taken “eat enough protein” and turned it into “PROTEINIFY EVERYTHING.”

And I’m not convinced that’s actually helping us.

My preference, both personally and clinically, is always to get protein from whole, minimally processed foods.

Lean meat.
Seafood.
Eggs.
Tofu and tempeh.
Beans and legumes.
Greek yoghurt.
Nuts and seeds.

Actual food. Food that comes with a whole bloody package of nutrients, fibre, vitamins, minerals and bioactive compounds.

Do I occasionally recommend a good-quality protein powder? Absolutely. There’s a time and place for convenience, and sometimes life is life.

But a protein powder is a tool. It shouldn’t necessarily become the foundation of our diet.

Because I worry that in our quest to hit the perfect protein number, we’re becoming increasingly disconnected from actual food.

You don’t need to turn your banana into a protein delivery system.

You don’t need protein rice.

You don’t need to make your coffee a meal replacement.

Sometimes
 you can just eat the fu***ng banana. 🍌

Protein matters. But so does the food it comes in.

🌿 Spring has officially entered the chat. 🌿

The sun is shining, the kookaburras are singing, and yesterday and today have been absolutely glorious. So naturally, I made a lunch that felt very spring.

đŸ„— Chicken, pesto, pumpkin & zucchini salad

I tossed together:
‱ Free-range chicken tenderloins
‱ Baby spinach
‱ Roasted pumpkin + zucchini
‱ Basil pesto
‱ Pumpkin seeds + h**p seeds for extra protein, zinc & magnesium
‱ Danish feta, because
 yum
‱ 100% rye bread on the side

I roasted the pumpkin and zucchini in the air fryer until they were cooked to my liking, then cooked the chicken in the other air fryer. Because yes, I have two air fryers. 😂

Then everything gets tossed together with a generous spoonful of pesto.

And then
 my peri brain struck.

I FORGOT THE CHICKPEAS. đŸ€ŠđŸŒâ€â™€ïž

Which would have been perfect in this salad. Extra fibre, extra plant protein and a lovely source of fermentable goodness for your gut bugs, if you tolerate legumes well.

And honestly, you can put basil pesto on just about anything and it’s going to taste bloody delicious.

The 100% rye bread was also a deliberate addition. Rye is a great source of fibre and contains carbohydrates that can help support a healthy gut microbiome, so I love including it alongside a meal like this.

And then we have the real stars of the post


Maggie judging my lunch.

Milo hoping my lunch is somehow his lunch.

And finally
 Milo holding Maggie’s paw. đŸ„č

Honestly, I can’t cope.

Spring, sunshine, a nourishing lunch and two little food thieves. Happy days. 💚

Four things I’m doing this week to avoid a mental breakdown
 😅

1. Using the dishwasher (because handwashing every dish isn’t earning me a medal).
2. Using the dryer instead of waiting three days for the washing to make it onto the line.
3. Buying a few convenience foods this week—pre-cut veggies, salad kits and rotisserie chicken absolutely count as self-care.
4. Lowering my standards. Not everything needs to be perfect, and “good enough” is more than enough this week.

As a nutritionist, I know healthy habits don’t exist in isolation. When life feels chaotic, making things easier isn’t lazy—it’s often the smartest thing you can do.

What’s one thing you’re doing this week to make life a little easier? 💚

06/05/2026

This might be a controversial opinion as a clinical nutritionist, but I’m not here to help women become endlessly productive machines for everyone around them.

I’m not sitting in consults thinking,
“How do we get you functioning at 100% so you can keep pouring from an empty cup?”

I’m thinking:
How do we help you feel better?
How do we support your energy, your brain, your body, your quality of life?

Because women are so often praised for self-sacrifice.
For pushing through.
For holding everyone else together while quietly falling apart themselves.

And yes, many of the women I work with are mothers.
But in clinic, I also see the woman behind the role.
The nervous system running on fumes.
The exhaustion.
The resentment.
The loss of self.

Supporting women’s health shouldn’t only matter because she gives to others.
It should matter because she matters.

That’s the hill I’ll die on.

Gut health doesn’t need to be complicated, but it does need consistency.

These are the habits I come back to in clinic again and again. Regular meals, a variety of fibres, and actually sitting down to eat instead of rushing through it. Simple, yes. But this is where things either start to improve or stay stuck.

Most people aren’t doing it “wrong”
they’re just inconsistent or skipping the foundations.

If your gut’s been all over the place lately, this is where I’d start.

I know it’s the language we hear every autumn. Boost this, boost that, take this supplement and you’ll “fight off everything.” And honestly, it sh*ts me to tears.

But your immune system isn’t something you want to overstimulate. An overactive immune response is not the goal. What you actually want is a well regulated, well supported immune system that can respond appropriately when needed.

And that doesn’t come from a quick fix. It comes from the basics done consistently.

Enough sleep. Regular, nourishing meals. Foods rich in key nutrients like vitamin A, vitamin C, zinc, and adequate protein. Supporting your gut. Eating warm, cooked meals that are easier to digest this time of year.

It’s not sexy, but it works.

Support your body properly, and it will do what it’s designed to do.

What’s one thing you’re focusing on this autumn?
