If I had a euro for every time I heard women say they’re damned if they do, and damned if they don’t, I’d be writing this from a villa in the South of France.

If you’re wondering if you should skip breakfast altogether, stop after a few mouthfuls of peanut-butter laden toast, or go back to eating breakfast like a king before your exercise

This is the post is for you

If you’ve ever found yourself wondering why little Ms Perfect next to you, carelessly biting into her pain-au-chocolat, with a full-fat latte, gets to have her cake and eat it too—while you’re reduced to black coffee and a yoghurt-coated rice cake, you’re not alone.

Weight loss can feel like the love child of ‘Groundhog Day’ and ‘Game Night’- it starts out feeling good, exciting, you know what you’re doing by now - even if it’s a tad over-familiar - but almost as quickly as you’ve gotten started it’s a downhill spiral and what ensues is chaos.

Does this sound familiar? You……..

• Eat less, move more – and still, the scale doesn’t budge.

• Cut the carbs, cut the fat – yet somehow, you feel worse than ever.

• Hit up the latest Tik-Tok trend or old reliable (hello cabbage soup diet) – but the second you eat normally again, the weight creeps back.

So what gives?

Unfortunately, like every aspect of health, if you want a resilient immune system to combat the challenges life, stress and the seasons throw at you, no magic pill or potion on the market will outperform your daily habits. It’s always going to be the tried and true, centuries-old, not very exciting habits that deliver results through action and consistency. Fact. Over the last month, I’ve written about various ways you can nurture and build a stronger, more resilient immune system to get you through the winter cold and flu season. Now that spring has sprung, and we’re heading into a new phase of immune challenges with seasonal allergies, they still apply. But if you’re time shy and can just handle a few pointers, here’s 3 things that will make all the difference

Each season throws something different at your skin. Spring rolls around, and suddenly, you’re dealing with unexpected breakouts or lingering winter dryness that won’t budge. Autumn hits, and your skin starts feeling tight, flaky, or just….lacklustre. Then there’s winter - the time of year when central heating, cold air, and lack of sunlight can leave your skin looking dull, feeling dehydrated, or breaking out in ways that make no sense.

And in your 40s? These seasonal shifts feel even more pronounced. Your skin doesn’t bounce back like it used to. Collagen production slows, hydration levels dip faster, and hormonal changes can leave you dealing with dryness and breakouts at the same time. What worked for you a decade ago isn’t cutting it anymore.

Your immune system is your first line of defence, working around the clock to protect you from illness and keep you feeling your best. The good news? There are many ways you can support it! Here are four of the easiest, science-backed ways to support your immune health—starting with something as simple as getting enough sleep!

With the colder months upon us and the inevitable stresses of daily life, our immune systems could use a little extra love and attention. Whether you’re juggling a busy schedule, recovering from seasonal bugs, or simply trying to feel your best, supporting your immunity has never tasted this good.

The first part of this two-part blog is packed with simple, tried-and-tested foods and recipes I personally use to keep my family healthy. From nutrient-packed ingredients to some of my favourite recipes, there are plenty of ways to stay resilient, energised, and well all year round.

If you’ve ever struggled with goal setting or given up on your resolutions, you’re not alone. The stats say it all:

• 23% of people quit their goals by the end of the first week of January.

• The second Friday of the month is called “Quitter’s Day.”

• By the end of January, 43% of people have given up entirely.

What makes sticking to goals so hard? Based on my experience (and what I’ve seen with clients), here are five of the biggest obstacles—and how to tackle them head-on.

Think you’re great at multitasking? I’ve no doubt you are—but even your best efforts can’t compare to the work your liver does every single day as your body’s power plant, multitasker and detox centre.

You see your liver is working 24/7 to keep your energy levels steady, to break down fat, and to process and package everything from hormones and pesticides to chemicals, drugs, bacteria, toxins, and alcohol so they can be safely removed from the body. 

So if you want more energy, hormone balance, better sleep, healthier skin and a slimmer waistline, the key to it all lies in keeping your liver healthy. Let’s unpack that a bit further in this post
