It won’t be long now… 👀 For a while now, I’ve been frustrated that the food products I recommend to clients come from so many different shops and suppliers.

So I’ve decided to do something about it.

I’m working on bringing together a carefully chosen range of tried, tested and genuinely useful products in one place — products I feel confident recommending to support your health and nutrition goals.

The focus will be on foods and products that fit well with a ketogenic or lower-carbohydrate approach, with a particular emphasis on foods that support brain health and healthy ageing.

These aren’t products chosen just because they’re trendy. I’m looking for things that can genuinely add value — helping to provide the nutrients and building blocks your body needs, support systems that may be out of balance, and help you work towards healthier markers and clearer thinking.

It won’t be long now… 👀

A lovely morning spent at a local dementia awareness event, meeting people, sharing ideas and making connections.

We chatted about the importance of nutrition in dementia care, opportunities to deliver nutrition training for care agencies, and providing nutritional information for a hypertension course.

It was a great opportunity to highlight how nutrition can support health and wellbeing, both for people living with dementia and those looking to protect their long-term health.

Always good to see conversations turning into opportunities to share knowledge and make a difference. 💚

🌟 Hearing this from a Bredesen Protocol client truly made my day. I feel privileged to support people with personalised, evidence-informed nutrition and cognitive-health education—helping them navigate memory, metabolism and wellbeing in a way that fits real life.

I’ll be at the Dementia Awareness Event at Paulton Community Hospital on Wednesday 30th September, from 10am–2pm.

Please do come along and say hello. It will be a lovely opportunity to find out more about the local support, services and advice available for people living with dementia, as well as their families, friends and carers. I’d love to see you there.

My focus is on prevention of Alzheimer's too. Come and chat about the Bredesen protocol.

Quinoa is one of my favourite healthy grains—packed with protein, fibre and nutrients, making it a great addition to a brain-healthy diet.

Last week in my MIND Diet course we talked about healthy grains and how simple food swaps can make a real difference to long-term brain health.

If you'd like to learn more, my MIND Diet Course runs over four consecutive weeks:
• Week 1: 1.5-hour introductory session
• Weeks 2–4: 1-hour sessions

The course is designed for anyone interested in dementia prevention or looking to support their brain health through nutrition and lifestyle. It's practical, evidence-based, and full of simple strategies you can put into practice straight away.

Courses are available both in person and online.

If you'd like to hear about future course dates, send me a message or comment below and I'll add your name to the waiting list.

Yet again, an inflammatory marker has been associated with risk for Alzheimer’s: in this case, a blood biomarker, the neutrophil (type of white blood cell associated with inflammation) to lymphocyte ratio (NLR), which is commonly associated with infection and inflammation, identified patients at risk of developing Alzheimer’s. Neutrophils are beginning to be studied for their role in Alzheimer’s, but the more relevant factor may be the underlying insults (such as infections) that caused the neutrophil increase. https://nyulangone.org/news/early-immune-changes-may-signal-increased-risk-alzheimers-dementia

How it works

At your first appointment, you can expect a thorough assessment that looks at the bigger picture, taking the time to understand you or your loved one's medical history, lifestyle, diet, and any factors that may be affecting brain health.

Following this, we will work together to help you move towards your goals—whether that is to help prevent dementia, support slower cognitive decline, or identify potentially reversible factors that may be contributing to memory problems.

On a practical level, we'll discuss food choices, shopping, meal planning, recipes, and supplements. From a nutritional therapy perspective, we'll identify and address underlying imbalances within the body, putting strategies in place to help promote balance and support long-term brain health.
