Eat Well Handbook
Food is expensive. Climate change is on the news increasingly. Health is on people’s agenda as we head into the new year. A small investment for the New Year is the Eat Well Handbook. We wrote the book back in 2021 and had households whose food budget had shrunk in mind, but as we wrote…
Eating Better in 2025?
I like to think of eating well as an ever evolving thing – life changes and the challenges to cooking, shopping and eating move with those changes. The things we want to do more of and less of stay the same but the motivation waxes and wanes. Pressures on time and money change, who likes…
Bladder issues – the next taboo to tackle
People who have know me a while will know of the years I spent struggling with a rare condition called interstitial cystitis. You have probably never heard of it but any of you reading that has experienced a severe bladder infection will recognise the symptoms I lived with every day for about 12 years. I…

EAT MORE PLANTS!
Have you noticed my theme for January? The start of the year is always a time when we are open to being focused on improvements including how we eat. It is hard to make changes and keep them sustained for longer than the month of January so I wanted to inspire people with a simple…
Mindful Eating – what is it?
Before Christmas I posted about mindful eating and how it might be useful over the Christmas period. Now that we are in January, the time for new year resolutions and losing weight and eating better has hit. Maybe a bit of mindful eating principles would be more helpful than a new diet? So how can…
Body Confidence and Health
As a nutritionist, I want to empower people to eat better. That means making long term changes that make people healthier. Changing habits is hard whatever habits they are and you need to be motivated, particularly if attitudes and habits are engrained. Diet culture and attitudes towards our bodies can get in the way of…
