10 Years of EXPERT Weight Loss Advice & A Confession


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 seem to be very, very good at.

Over the last 10 years, I’ve helped hundreds of people lose weight, feel amazing in their bodies, and actually keep it off for good. And now, I’ve pulled together 21 of the most powerful weight loss strategies I use with clients every day, and I’m giving them to you — completely free on YouTube this week.

Here’s just a taste of what’s inside:

✅ How your relationship with food affects your results
✅ The right amount of protein (and why it makes weight loss easier)
✅ Why meal timing, sleep and stress matter just as much as what you eat
✅ The mindset shifts that separate long-term success from yo-yo dieting
✅ And why sweetcorn in your poo isn’t just funny… it’s actually useful

If you’ve struggled to lose weight in the past, or just want to do it in a healthier, more balanced way this time — I really think this video will help. And if you have any questions, just let me know!

P.S. I post a new video every week — so if you’re not already subscribed on YouTube, now’s your chance.

💌 As always, I love hearing from you. Let me know what topics or recipes you'd love me to cover next—or what you're struggling with most when it comes to eating well and feeling your best.

I always read and reply 💚

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...

Haemochromatosis Awareness Week

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...
