Hi Reader👋 I survived another hurricane this week (life in Bermuda, eh?), but today I want to talk about a different kind of storm — the media hurricane around ultra-processed foods. Firstly, lets reflect, because every decade, there’s a new food villain. In the 80s, it was fat. In the 90s, carbs took the blame. The 2000s? Sugar. And now, in the 2020s, it’s ultra-processed foods. Think packaged snacks, frozen meals, sweetened cereals, fast food.The headlines make them sound terrifying, but...

Hi Reader👋 Hi friends, I was watching the Biggest Loser show on Netflix last weekend. Its called Fit For TV (did anyone else catch it?) It’s all about what went on behind the scenes of the original show and where the contestants are now. What really stood out to me was how much emphasis was put on rapid weight loss. We’re talking people eating as little as 800 calories a day and exercising for hours. Sure, the weight came off quickly, but at a huge cost: muscle loss, slowed metabolism, and an...

Hi Reader👋 Well… I disappeared from your inbox for a little while there.But I promise I have a good excuse — I was in Ireland getting married! 💍 It was the most magical couple of weeks, and because my email subscribers are the most committed, I thought I’d share a few photos with you below. Now that I’m back home, I’m getting back into my usual gym routine — the same one I followed in the lead-up to my wedding. And that brings me to the topic of this recent YouTube video. Because one of the...

Hi friends👋 As a dietitian, I never set out to work in weight loss. Honestly? I have qualifications that go far beyond that — gut health, fertility, prenatal nutrition… I’ve spent years specialising in these areas. But the truth is, I kept getting asked for help with weight loss. And when I did? People got incredible results. So even though it wasn’t my original plan, I’ve leaned into it — because helping people lose weight in a realistic, compassionate, and sustainable way is something I...

Hi friend👋 Sharing an ugly truth about myself today. Everyone that watches me on YouTube remarks that I come across as a very nice person...but wait. I’m a nice person… until I’m hungry. And I know we all get a little hangry now and then, but trust me I'm particularly bad! And here’s the thing — I know I’m not alone. A lot of people try to lose weight or improve their health by eating less, and suddenly they’re tired, irritable, and just plain miserable. Not because they lack willpower, but...

Hi friend👋 I want to talk about something a little different today — something really personal. A few years ago, I was diagnosed with haemochromatosis, also known as iron overload. It’s a genetic condition where your body stores too much iron — and over time, that excess iron builds up in your organs and can cause serious damage. Here’s the thing: I wasn’t alone. My dad has it. So does my sister. And both of my brothers. But despite all that, I still went undiagnosed until my late 20s. The...

Hi Reader👋 It’s kind of ironic that I’m sending you this now — after missing last week’s email! But honestly, I’ve been flat out busy myself lately… and that’s exactly why this topic is so relevant. Because losing weight is hard enough — but when life is hectic? It can feel impossible. Between work, family, and trying to keep it all together, it’s no wonder health takes a backseat.But the truth is: you don’t need to do more — you just need to do what actually works. In this week’s YouTube...

Hi Reader, 👋 Hope you're having a great week! I came across two nutrition stats this week that honestly blew my mind and I had to share: ⌚ Time is a major barrier – 44% of people in the UK aged 16–44 say a healthy lifestyle just takes too much time. 💉 46% of people under 35 in the UK are interested in using weight loss drugs!!!! How wild is that?! If you're someone who's curious about weight loss medications, this week’s YouTube video was made just for you. I chat about how these medications...

Hi Reader, 👋 I'm writing to you this week from LOS ANGELES... how crazy is that?! If you didn’t know, I was spotted as an upcoming YouTube talent and flown all the way to California for an ideas summit — where top YouTubers like Colin & Samir, Jon Youshaei, and Danny Duncan actually sat down to brainstorm and interview me about MY CHANNEL. What the heck!!! I’m still pinching myself. 😅 I started my YouTube channel just 18 months ago with 0 subscribers — and honestly, I never in my wildest...
