Root & Renew Nutrition

I had a few unusual audience members in my talks at Mi Hub today 😂.

Thankfully there were some real people there too with a lot of questions.

As the UK’s largest supplier of uniforms and corporate workwear no one blinks twice here at the sight of a mannequin or 3.

I’m delivering 6 talks over 2 days to staff across their HQ and distribution centre.

‘Cut through the noise’ is proving to be a good title for real, actionable advice about things that have made a difference to the energy, cognitive performance and happiness for the hundreds of people I’ve worked with.

This isn’t theory or claims steeped in marketing fluff. Real life, realistic and practical advice that makes a difference.

This is employee wellbeing at the coalface.

I’m taking bookings for 2027 if you think this could be useful for your organisation.

Anyone asked you what you want for Christmas yet?

After you've bashed them over the head for mentioning the C word this side of December, tell them you'd like to come to this Retreat Day I'm running alongside Sarah and Nic.

Feedback from the last one was great and it seems we've hit on just the right mix of practical and fun and can't wait to bring nutrition, movement and relaxation together again for you.

Our last retreat sold out so please don't wait if you'd like a spot.

✨ Start 2027 with a reset, not a resolution

January can come with a lot of pressure to make changes, set goals and start the year with a long list of things we want to do differently.

But what if you started 2027 by simply taking a day for you?

I’m delighted to be joining Nicola Pike, Bowen Practitioner & Movement Expert, and Ruth Seymour, Nutritional Therapist, for our New Year Wellness Retreat Day at the beautiful Barley Wood House in Wrington.

🌿 Reset. Nourish. Move. Restore.

Throughout the day we’ll explore simple, practical ways to support your wellbeing, from nutrition and movement to mental wellbeing, relaxation and restorative practices.

There’ll be delicious food, gentle movement, guided relaxation, time to switch off and plenty of opportunity to step away from the usual January busyness.

📅 Saturday 16th January 2027
⏰ 9.30am - 4.00pm
📍 Barley Wood House, Wrington
💷 £149 per person
Payment instalments available - pay half now and the balance by 18th December!

RESHARING THIS FOLLOWING YESTERDAY'S RANT!

Talking about supplementation is sometimes frowned upon as a Registered Nutritionist because of the very fact that supplementing is a very individual, needs-based thing which really does require personalised advice based on health history, symptoms and current medications.

HOWEVER the fact is the supplement industry is HUGE and growing, with a lot of NOISE from the world and his wife about what people should and should not be taking.

I see many clients who are so confused, at best wasting their hard-earned cash creating expensive wee and poo and at worst causing themselves damage by inappropriate use of supplements.

On that basis - I'm done being silent on this.

While it is true all that is possible on here is generic advice, if this at least gives people a framework to consider then I'll be happy *

* Obviously, taking individual and personalised advice on supplementation is 100% best done with a qualified practitioner like myself who has the clinical experience and knowledge to make sure you are helping and not harming yourself or your purse ☺

👀 Today, you may have heard in the media that we’ve all been duped and we should all bin our supplements 👀

BUT I think (I hope) the media have taken Dr Xand’s new book claims out of context - and may have inadvertently done some damage.

Personalised supplementation as part of a planned health intervention can have life-changing positive impacts …. I see this every single day in my clinic.

This is a topic I’m frequently asked about, so if you’d be interested in a webinar on Supplementation in general, the good, the bad and the ugly, please drop a comment below.

Turning 50 does funny things to you. Well, it has to me. It’s made me reflect on decisions I’ve made as my life has unfolded.

I try not to have regrets. They are a waste of emotion.

But, on reflecting on my career path, I’ve questioned hard why I didn’t follow my passion earlier in my life.

After years of debilitating ‘IBS’ in my 20’s I discovered the power of nutritional therapy.

Why did I wait until my 40s to re-train and share this passion with others?

The fear of judgement, not fitting the mould and procrastination… all things I’m told put my clients off seeking support.

The similarities are striking. Don’t waste any more time like I did.

Are supplements really worth the money - or are we simply paying for expensive promises?

With shelves full of vitamins, powders and capsules claiming to boost our health, it can be difficult to know what’s genuinely useful and what’s little more than clever marketing.

Our latest blog, our Nutritional Therapist, Ruth Seymour, takes a closer look at supplements, when they may be beneficial, and when your money might be better spent elsewhere.

The ‘sod-it’ mentality …. anyone else?

30/07/2026

67% of UK employees say they are more likely to commit to their work if their employer prioritises investing in their wellbeing. A rise of 14% in just 2 years.

But - we also have a huge under-utilisation problem - 49% of employees did NOT use any of their employee wellbeing benefits last year.

The main reason? 'Benefits didn't match their interests'

Clearly there is no point in wasting time and money on big ticket 'wellbeing initiatives' if they aren't appreciated or used by your employees.

I knew this was a problem from my time working in big brand FMCG, but until I saw this most recent report I didn't realise how severe this issue was.

Honestly? It's taken away any imposter syndrome I was harbouring about the way I engage with the businesses I work with.

I always wanted to do something different.

I didn't want to repeat my experience of employee wellbeing in the corporate world which basically said ‘be grateful for the free fruit in the kitchen and the annual talk on mental health'.

Yes - I do talks and webinars about all things nutrition and wellness.

BUT - the real magic comes in the more innovative and inherently personalised programmes I run.

There is no chance of the benefit not 'matching interests' in my 1:1 pop-up clinics.

These confidential sessions explore anything physical or mental health related the person wants to bring to me.

Digestive issues, migraines, sleep challenges, fatigue, thryoid problems, libido, high blood pressure, low stress resilience.... to name but a few of the things we discuss. I help join up the dots in the 'body puzzle' in just a 30-minute consult that supports long-term resolution once and for all.

I work with leadership teams who want to maximise their performance - yes in group workshops, but crucially also, 1:1. No one size fits all here.

This quote from one of my clients last week sums it up beautifully (if a little sweary).

I'll be talking lots more about these approaches at the 'spiky end' really soon.
