If you’ve ever tried to follow the ‘calories in, calories out’ playbook, you’ve probably found out that things aren’t that simple.   If the body worked off basic math, we’d all be in amazing shape, right?   The real game-changer, especially after we hit our late-30s, is something much less talked about: insulin resistance.   […]

Generally speaking, after 35 our bodies start to change quite a lot…   And many times, the things that you WERE doing to stay healthy and fit and confident don’t work anymore.   It’s like your body’s playing by a new set of rules, and nobody gave you the playbook.   After we hit 35, […]

I often jokingly refer to myself as a recovering ‘nice girl’, but this month it wasn’t a joke.   I faced the stark reality that there’s more work I need to do here, especially in my work and business.   I’m no push-over, don’t get me wrong, but I can avoid taking action so as […]

In my clinic days, treating patients for a whole range of health issues often linked to poor diet and chronic stress, a realisation struck me. What if people craved healthy food as much as processed foods?   As a kid, I remember my rare visits to McDonald’s – it was well tailored for kids – […]

Right now there are billions of processes happening within your body, most of which you will never know about.   Your body is releasing digestive enzymes that are breaking down your breakfast, insulin is being released, in the precise dose, to move glucose into the cells, nutrients are moving to areas where they are needed […]

The reason why our bodies change so much as we age is due to muscle loss.   I remember in high school, my maths teacher wrote all of our lessons on the blackboard. As she put the chalk on the board and moved to write her arms would wobble. The backs of her arms had […]

A good friend of mine was at a dinner party recently, she was shocked to find that after dinner everyone at the table, except her, was taking ozempic –  the weight loss drug.      If you were to do a quick Google search on the side effects of ozempic it wouldn’t look like much – […]

I’ve been exercising for years on my own, at home through streaming mat pilates and the Tracy Anderson method (which has suited my body for over 10 years).   But in the last 6 months, I really had to push myself, the motivation wasn’t there to exercise on my own at home anymore.   Sometimes […]

A client of mine managed a C-suite role with a team of over 1000 people, for many years. She loved her job.   One day something began to change. She lost passion and spark in her work, felt overwhelmed with responsibility, and couldn’t see any other way out except to take a year off. So […]
