Mood food has many forms. On the one hand, we have treats like pastries 🥐 that give us a quick fix. On the other, we have nutrient-dense foods like greens, nuts, seeds, fish, avocado, beetroot, and fresh fruit that, when consumed regularly, promote better focus, mood, resilience and overall wellbeing over time (though changes can be felt within days).

Don’t get me wrong, I love a good , definitely indulge in a almond croissant 🥐 😋, and a trip to with my kids is a family favourite.

But when it comes down to it, I know that a bowl like this offers a real boost that will last post-school run and sustain me until dinner. And that eating this way allows me to eat the treats when they happen without bloating/crashing/brain fog.

I’ve learned that this crashes and cravings are common 40+ and, because there’s a deeper reason for them, giving in will likely make you crash harder.

These are some of the factors I address in my Hormonal Harmony 40+ program. For women who want to feel like their younger, stronger, happier selves again.

PS: If you have a craving right now, tap in - do you want a quick fix or a lasting one? Or a combination of both? Nothing wrong with a big salad followed by a walk and a chocolate after all!

Last night was full of family, noise, laughter and tiny legs on my shoulders, followed by a slow, quiet morning with coffee, books, long hugs and no rushing anywhere. It felt like the exact reset I needed before the year truly begins.

January is always a big month in my work. Post-holiday bodies, gut flare-ups, Hashimotos flares, exhausted mums - ready to prioritise themselves and their health. That kind of work needs real energy, clarity and presence.

My prep work happens now, not when my schedule is slammed. No more pushing through and burned out by March. That lesson was learned the hard way.

So for a little while you will see less of me here while I soak up extra time for cuddles, long gym sessions without deadlines, walking, reading, family games, visits from people I love and actually being off the grid.

If you can, give yourself the same gift. Let the year start gently before it asks more of you.

If you need support, book ahead (link in bio). I will be back in action in couple of weeks 🩷
