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 Reader👋 I’ve been a registered dietitian for almost 10 years now...but before that? I fell for a LOT of convincing “nutrition facts” online. And if I’m being truly honest, sometimes I still do. That’s one of the reasons I love making YouTube videos. They give me an excuse to dive into the research and really figure out what’s true (and what’s just trendy nonsense). This week’s video is all about the surprising nutrition “facts” I once believed... and that you might still believe too....

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...
