🥪 Bread bread bread - Oh how we love you but how you bloat us! 🤷🏻‍♀️ We know you are part responsible for our menopause belly, but what else other than a sandwich is there for lunch? 💪🏻 As women in mid-life we’d all benefit from eating less carbs. Very few women eat enough protein and its protein that keeps us full, balances our blood sugar and builds our hormones, muscles and cells… 🫘 This quick & easy ‘jumble’ is as quick as a sandwich to prepare and is packed full of bloat reducing good stuff… Unless you’re not a fan of beans - In which case use some chickpeas instead! * 1 tin of beans or chickpeas, rinsed * Tin of mackerel, tuna or flaked salmon * Any salad in the fridge (think rainbow) * Apple cider vinegar * Salt & pepper * Big glug of Extra Virgin olive oil * Any spices such as paprika or chilli flakes you fancy ⭐️ Mix it all together… there, no bread in sight. 👇SAVE this post for Monday lunch! #winning #lowcarbrecipes #highprotein #nutritionist #menopauseexpert #femalehealth #menopausediet #weightloss

🥱 I am shattered, I have social media fatigue and it’s the holidays so I’ve been told to take some of own advice and have a break! ✍️ Funny that - I talk to women every day about prioritising time for themselves and then realised I’ve always taken work away with me on every holiday for the last 5 years… the life of a self employed business owner never ends when you’re working ‘flexible hours’ and there is always something to do or a post to plan. ⛅️ So here’s me signing off for a good week or possibly two, listening and watching some real world stuff. I’ll be somewhere in the North East and then London on some minibreaks dodging the kitchen renovation at home for a bit. …and I’ll be back hopefully renewed and raring to go for September. ❤️ Big love to little T for her beautiful singing on the way up North x #outofoffice #takingabreak #socialmediabreak #nutritionist #selfemployedwomen #femalehealth #womenover40 #selfcare #familylove #songbird @tellingstories

🥵Is the heat making you feel more tired and sluggish? ➕Why not try this one small and easy addition that can: • Increase energy • Reduce sluggishness • Boost alertness & mental clarity • Reduce muscle cramps 💧Add one pinch of Himalayan pink salt or Rock salt to a glass of water everyday in the warmer weather. 💧It replaces the electrolytes (calcium, magnesium, potassium & sodium) lost during sweating and also improves your hydration so any fluids going in hydrate your cells rather than being flushed straight through! ⚡️I was reminded how well it works whilst putting together this post... I felt more alert before I’d even finished my glass – flipp’in brilliant, where’s the bag? 😂 ❓Why don’t you give it a try? #onesmalladd #moreenergy #electrolytes #nutritionadvice #nutritionist #nutritiontips #healthandwellness #womenshealth

☀️🥦 Do you want some easy recipe ideas using some seasonal summer veg? 💬 In my live with Andrea from Boxed Green, we chat about what we can do with these veggies and why you need to be eating them... ❤️ Beetroots: Good for your heart, help to reduce blood pressure and increase your exercise capacity. Eat them as a beetroot salad or roasted as wedges with olive oil, salt & pepper.  🥕 Carrots: Great for your skin, eyes & immunity. Try as an Asian-inspired carrot & cabbage slaw. 🥬 Cabbage: Helps with hormone detoxification & better gut health. Eat as a slaw or grilled and served as steaks with olive oil and black pepper.  🍅 Tomatoes: Part of the heart healthy Mediterranean diet and rich in vitamin C, which is good for pretty much everything... including hormones, skin, aging, heart & bones. Eaten instead of a burger bun with some fresh basil (yes really) or as a salsa with red onion, harissa paste or garlic and basil.  🌱 And not to leave anything to waste - use the carrot and beetroot tops to make a pesto. • Links to some of Andrea’s Insta recipes are in the comments below... yum!  • Or message us and we’ll send you a direct link. #summervegrecipes #eatorganic #easyrecipes #nutritionist #healthexperts #smallbusinessowners #womensupportingwomen #womenover30 #healthywomen

🥄 Save your money on probiotic supplements and eat more of these kinds of foods instead 🦠 Probiotics are your beneficial tummy bugs, they keep your gut and brain happy and are great for your immune system. Did you know that 70% of your immunity lives in your gut and 95% of serotonin (your happy brain chemical) is made there? 🚗 We have a number of so-called car park spaces in our gut that need to be filled with good cars, not bad ones, so we need to ensure sure the good ones drive past the car park regularly so they can fill the spaces as the unhelpful ones leave – scientific hey? ⭐️ Eating small amounts of pro-biotic food regularly is the best way because pro-biotic food contains way more beneficial things as well as the probiotic part. 💊 Taking probiotic supplements can be helpful, but they all contain different types and levels of bacteria, and dependant on what you are taking them for different strains work better for different symptoms. Plus long-term it can cause a disruption of the natural balance, so it’s worth getting proper advice from a health practitioner or a good supplement company. 🥥 Oh and please don‘t waste your money on pro-biotic drinks such as Yakult. They have all the marketing and plastic with very little of the actual probiotic... choose a nice full fat kefir or probiotic coconut yogurt instead! 🙋🏻‍♀️ Hands up if you eat pro-biotic food regularly? #probioticfood #guthealth #happyguthappymind #foodfirst #eatwell #menopauseexpert #nutrition #wellness #health #healthandwellness #feelbetter #perimenopause #menopause #menopausesupport #nutritionaltherapy #nutritionaltherapist #womenshealth #femalehealth #wellness #nutritionandwellness #nutritionist #feelbetter #lifestylemedicine #empoweryourhealth #nutritionistinmanchester #worsley #Manchester

🤷🏻‍♀️ What is grounding? 🌳 At every opportunity Ember lies on the grass fully relaxed flat out! After spending a week knee-deep in scientific research for my final cancer course case study, I’ve found a number of scientific studies that prove the benefits of grounding… and I’m sure animals are way more intuitive than we are! 🦶🏻Grounding (Earthing) is a way of connecting to the Earth’s healing electrical energy. It’s you standing on the earth or touching something grounded to the Earth. It can… 🍃 Reduce inflammation 🍃 Reduce pain 🍃 Improve sleep 🍃 Improve energy 🍃 Reduce stress and anxiety by activating the parasympathetic nervous system. ☕️ It’s free, easy to do and bloody lovely. So next time you sit down for 5 minutes to have a cup of tea or coffee, get outside and sit on the grass, or walk barefoot round the garden and take in the view. You’ve got nothing to lose. 🧦And next time you start telling your kids to put some shoes on outside and to stop getting their white socks dirty - tell them to take their socks off instead! #grounding #groundingbenefits #belikeadog #earthing #nutrition #wellness #health #healthandwellness #feelbetter #perimenopause #menopause #menopausesupport #nutritionaltherapy #nutritionaltherapist #womenshealth #femalehealth #wellness #nutritionandwellness #nutritionist #feelbetter #lifestylemedicine #empoweryourhealth #nutritionistinmanchester #worsley #Manchester

☁️ Do you feel your usually sharp brain has sometimes been replaced by cotton wool? ☁️ Do you often forget names, places or struggle to grasp the right word for things? ☁️ Are you always apologising for it and blaming perimenopause? ☁️ Why do we do that anyway? I know I do it to excuse the fact my brain has temporarily left the building and I hate every second of it… blaming perimenopause feels a just and excusable reason. ☁️ But there are a number of things it could be, not just all related to hormone shifts. And no we shouldn’t just have to put up with it and accept it’s going to be part of our life until we’re through menopause - which isn’t always the case either! 🧠 Hands up who wants to regain their brain?! 🙋🏻‍♀️ #brainfog #foggybrain #perimenobrain #menopausebrain #brainfood #nutrition #wellness #health #healthandwellness #feelbetter #perimenopause #menopause #menopausesupport #nutritionaltherapy #nutritionaltherapist #womenshealth #femalehealth #wellness #nutritionandwellness #nutritionist #feelbetter #lifestylemedicine #empoweryourhealth #Manchester

🥑 What do these three foods all have in common? 🥜 All of them are great sources of Magnesium! Do you suffer with: 😳 Restless legs 😴 Struggle to get to sleep & stay asleep 🥱 Feel shattered lots! 🥺 Lead a pretty stressful life 😬 Feel anxious at times 🫨 Suffer with muscle cramps or twitches If you suffer from a few of these you could be low in magnesium. Many women are, especially in mid-life. ☀️Magnesium is so important for so many body processes including hormone & gut health, joints, nerves, energy, blood sugar control and even our absorption of vitamin D. 🌱 Modern day soils don’t contain the levels of magnesium they used to, due to changing farming practices over the years – so foods like these contain even less than they did. 🥬 I always like to look at food first before supplementing, so if any of these symptoms sound like you try and increase magnesium rich foods in your diet – Avocados, nuts, legumes (chickpeas, lentils & beans) and dark leafy greens. You’ll not only be increasing your magnesium levels but also adding in a whole load of other important nutrients that will help you feel better on a number of levels. Hands up if this sounds like you? 🙋🏻‍♀️ #magnesium #restlesslegs #insomnia #magnesiumdeficient #musclecramps #eatwell #nutrition #wellness #health #healthandwellness #feelbetter #perimenopause #menopause #menopausesupport #nutritionaltherapy #nutritionaltherapist #womenshealth #femalehealth #wellness #nutritionandwellness #nutritionist #feelbetter #lifestylemedicine #empoweryourhealth #nutritionistinmanchester #worsley #Manchester

🍴Which dietary change can have the biggest impact on your health? 🥞 Having a nutritious breakfast can be an absolute game changer for so many women suffering menopause symptoms. ☕️ Skipping breakfast to reduce calories or having a coffee first thing on an empty stomach are both great ways to sabotage your hormones! They cause disregulated blood sugar and can actually contribute to weight gain around your middle. 🫐 Adding a nutritious breakfast like a chia and oat pot with berries is easy and quick to make the night before - so no rushing in the morning… It fuels you for the day ahead and stop’s you craving an unhealthy snack before lunch. 🥬 If you aren’t a breakfast fan, start with a smoothie, but make sure you include some energy boosting greens such as spinach and a protein source such yogurt, chia or nuts. 🙋🏻‍♀️Would you like some healthy breakfast ideas? #breakfastrules #lovefood #lovebreakfast #easybreakfastideas #nutrition #wellness #health #healthandwellness #feelbetter #perimenopause #menopause #menopausesupport #nutritionaltherapy #nutritionaltherapist #womenshealth #femalehealth #wellness #nutritionandwellness #nutritionist #feelbetter #lifestylemedicine #empoweryourhealth #nutritionistinmanchester #worsley #Manchester

🤷🏻‍♀️Do you walk into a room and then forget what you’ve gone in for? 😳 If you do, you aren’t alone! It happens to me a lot! I spend a few minutes wracking my brain, then sometimes retrace my steps, blame being too busy or distracted and then concide I’m either loosing my mind or it’s bloody perimenopause! 👵🏼 Whilst I can laugh about it, it can be pretty scary. I used to pride myself on my sharp mind and memory and at times when everything is foggy and I’m scratching around for names, places and words I feel pretty useless and old. ☁️ I see a lot of women in my clinic who suffer the same – for some it affects their job and even their ability to get home from work, for fear they can’t remember how they got back or even where they live! 🙋🏻‍♀️ Does brain fog affect you in some way too? #brainfog #loosingmymindinmenopause #notontheball #menopausebrain #forgetful #empoweryourselfinmidlife #foodasmedicine #lifestylemedicine #nutritionistinmanchester #wellness #femalehealthexpert #feelbetter #perimenopause #menopause #nutritionaltherapy #womenshealth #femalehealth #nutritionandwellness #Manchester
