Not eating enough or cutting carbs too aggressively increases cortisol (the stress hormone) and may impair recovery. The way I like to visualise it is that the cortisol increases because its job is to get glucose into the bloodstream for energy and jobs in the body. Low energy intake reduces glycogen stores (your 'stored glucose'), delaying muscle repair and reducing training performance. This affects runners, gym-goers, and busy professionals alike.

Personalised nutrition matters, everyone’s needs are different; guessing can backfire. [On a longer term it can have real health issues (look up RED-S - relative energy deficiency in sport)]

SO if someone has told you to 'train fasted' to lose fat or that you need a 'running weight' or 'fighting weight', have they asked you how stressed your life is too?

They might have, and you might have said 'its fine'.

But if you aren't seeing progress, have a full on job, kids, puppy, project deadlines, older parents, maybe perimenopause, have a social life, training goals too and maybe still have some unwanted belly fat then your body might actually benefit from some more fuel or a bit of nourishment from supplements and specific foods (then maybe a bit of fasted training 'might' be useful.

That's where I can help.

Sad times, the M&S in Reading station has closed. It was perfect for a grab and go healthier food... Everywhere you look in Reading there’s another fried-chicken shop, burger place or deep-fried deal (same in my home town of Birmingham) it’s rubbish food that doesn’t help anyone thrive.

It’s not just the occasional ‘treat’ if you’re a commuter passing through the area, a late night worker needing to grab some food, a kid wanting a healthier option or someone with an allergy. These are your choices.

Your food choices in this side of the station are displayed for you…and on the other platforms I’m pretty sure it’s Starbucks and coffee shops.

There is a Pret 👏if you leave the station at the main barriers, in the office block opposite. Also there’s one at the Oracle. Save up though as I think their prices were more like airport prices last time I went, I think they might even be more than London prices? You could try the ‘food’ on the train as a backup? Dire.

If you are eating in town the John Lewis had a chicken salad £7? (but I think much of the meal was couscous - white refined food - some wholegrain rice would be better).

The big M&S is good, not really close enough if you’re at the station on a commute or connection though.

The official stats are a sad read (Reading council, Nov 2025) @readingcouncil

- Reading adults: over 60% are overweight or obese.
- Year 6 kids (10-11): nearly 37% overweight/obese, higher than national average.

What food places does Reading need? Commuters need better food.

Struggling with sleep? It’s messing with your hunger, stress, and recovery more than you think. Food timing, caffeine, alcohol and evening routines all play a bigger role than most realise.

Everyone says “personalised nutrition”… but most aren’t actually personal. I use my clinical training to dig into your health history, tests, goals, diet, lifestyle, and symptoms. The result? Nutrition that actually works for you, not a cut and paste plan and coaching support that helps you put it into practice.

For sporty people you might like to check out tart cherry juice, with benefits for sports recovery and sleep. Message me if you want to know which one I use.

#SleepSmart #HormoneBalance #RecoveryMatters #HealthBasics

Stress is a hormone issue

Cortisol helps you get things done, but constant stress without recovery affects sleep, immunity, digestion, body fat and training adaptation. Reducing load is often step one.

BUT there are times when you just need support to get through a situation or busy time in life and nutrition and lifestyle helps here too with foods (enough protein and carbs), foods with anti inflammatory properties (ginger, turmeric, green veg), calming activities (yoga, reading) and tailored supplements (adaptogens/nootropics/vitamins/minerals).

AND there are times when you're training hard and need support or need to see some data to tailor your efforts, and dare I say you might choose to back off a little, quality versus quantity.

This is something I look at in 1:1 nutrition sessions.

#1 Hormones affect everyone & everything!

Hormones aren’t just a women’s issue

Hormones are chemical messengers that affect energy, mood, sleep, digestion and performance — in men and women. Stress, food, training and sleep all influence how they behave. February is about understanding the basics, not labels.

Let me know what questions you have... post in comments or message me.

If this feels familiar, I support clients with this every day.

Running show - the ‘nutrition’!@nationalrunningshow Here are a few photos from the show.

This was the show of functional foods, flavours and ingredients to tempt your tastebuds and appeal to those looking for health & performance benefits. All great, as it means less artificial ingredients.

There were also a tonne of electrolytes, gels and powders. Happy to share my opinion if you ask me.

Flavours and ingredients like:

Ginger (my favourite!)
Turmeric
Beetroot
Caffeine

Just remember that if you’re choosing fuels before and during endurance exercise it’s really about:

(1)What you tolerate and have tested, and (2)Health and performance benefits are a welcome bonus and shouldn’t be ignored.

For recovery I’d be looking for products as healthy as possible as it’s your chance to get nutrition in. I don’t just mean carbs and proteins, but vitamins, minerals, fibre and so on.
Maybe not as you finish your race (you can always try some fruit juice), but certainly in your first meal at the table if you can. Then you carry this on for the week until your next adventure 🏃‍♀️

If you’re doing the slower and longer endurance events then the higher energy bars could be useful and there were a couple that caught my attention. @realmealuk @veloforte @mountainfuel_uk

Anything else I missed?

Fun day @nationalrunningshow yesterday, here’s the non nutrition edit (more tomorrow!), although my lunch did sneak in at the end.

I was impressed to find a healthy salad (Pure protein box - chicken, broccoli 🥦, mixed grains and mustard dressing which was delicious).

The website mentioned something about a vegan cafe in the middle (not my thing), but I didn’t notice it…am wondering if that was text from another show. I think for runners it should be a ‘carb cafe’ to be honest 😂. There were some vegan salads too though, sweet potato? Looked nice.

#chickensalad #birminghamnutritionist #birmingham #runner #running

Welcome to February!

February’s theme is hormones — but not in a narrow or medical way.

Hormones may influence:
• Energy and fatigue
• Mood and stress resilience
• Sleep quality
• Digestion and bloating
• Training, recovery and body composition

They respond to what we do every day:
how we eat, how we train, how we sleep, and how much stress we carry.

This month I’ll be sharing practical, grounded ways to support hormone health that work for:
• Busy professionals
• Runners and active people
• Men and women
• People with digestion or energy issues

No extremes. No trends. Just solid foundations.

If you’ve been feeling tired, wired, bloated, stuck or “off”, this is often where the story starts — and it’s something I support clients with every day.

#HormoneHealth #FebruaryReset #EnergySupport #WholeBodyHealth

At @nationalrunningshow checking out the latest products and all things running! Will let you know how I get on..

#runner #running #nutritionist

Carbohydrates post-training restore glycogen, support the stress response, and protect immune function. Including potatoes, rice, pasta, fruit, or beans ensures energy recovery, supports hormones, and maintains performance.

These are all good sources of carbohydrate as well as some having good sources of vitamins and minerals (less in white rice and pasta)

You can also refuel on sports products and there may be a place but many are over processed and have added unwanted ingredients, so check the labels.

and you could refuel on cakes but I don't recommend that as all you eat. Plus there's a difference between the quality of a home made cake and a packaged one of course!

A piece of fruit is usually an easy option, or a smoothie with fruit and banana/juice to take it up a level, and then more focused refuelling if you're doing intense work or more endurance.

Herbal teas are a simple way to support hydration and digestion . Ingredients like chamomile, peppermint, or ginger provide additional gut and immune benefits, a small but effective winter habit.

My favourite is fennel tea for calming my digestion. What's yours?

#HerbalTea #WinterWellness #HydrationTips #SelfCare

I mainly have fruit juice before or after exercise. It’s a fast way to get energy and nutritious. If you can get homemade versions, even better.

I was delighted to be given this sample of beautifully bright juice from @rootandjuice on Saturday. It brightened up my morning after Parkrun and a bit of James Martin on the TV!

The ingredients are orange, lemon, ginger, turmeric and cayenne which all support our health in positive ways. Ginger supports digestion (great for runners!), orange and lemon are sources of vitamins C (great for this time of year) and turmeric has anti inflammatory properties (like the ginger too)

Inflammation is linked to many health conditions such as arthritis, some bowel disease and other digestive conditions, and even life changes. Peri/menopause is actually known as an ‘inflammatory process’ in the nutrition world.

Sometimes I work with clients who have certain medications which means they can’t take herbal supplements that contain ginger and turmeric. But when it comes from food it could be an option - obviously you shouldn’t overdo it, and need to check with your doctor to get their approval ✅

I shared the drink - One of us thought we could taste the turmeric the most, the other the ginger! So you’ll have to try and let me know.

#ginger #lovewokingham #antiinflammatory #runner #ibs

Advanced functional tests for digestive health give detailed insights into gut function, inflammation, and microbiome health. This helps create personalised nutrition plans for IBS, bloating, or digestive curiosity.

They support short term, long-term gut health, immunity, and energy. I've worked with clients with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), diverticulitis, histamine intolerance, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), bloating and other issue including many runners' digestive issues.

#GutHealth #FunctionalTesting #IBSRelief #DigestiveWellness #running

You can come to a consultation with your results and I’ll review them, or even better ask before you do them and I can guide you.

Basic blood tests help us see nutrient status, inflammation markers, and overall metabolic health. This allows personalised advice to optimise performance, immunity, and recovery. It’s not about disease, it’s about thriving.

Sometimes I'll write a letter to a doctor to see if they'll do a few tests for you. Their goal is more about preventing disease.
There are some more advanced nutritional tests though, please ask if you want me to show you them. Our goal is to maintain health, optimise health and focus on longer term health.

#HealthCheck #NutritionTesting #Optimisation #Wellness #running

Sleep regulates hormones, appetite, immunity, and recovery. Disrupted sleep may be linked to nutrition, stress, or digestive issues — small dietary and lifestyle changes can have a big impact.

Hands up if your day is better after a good sleep? If you miss some sleep then my tip is to try a yoga nidra, it can really help replenish energy and it can help you with sleep that day too.

Trying out a nut cheese recipe, this is cashew nut cheese with a bit of pink peppercorn.

Useful if you want to eat nuts but don’t want hard ones as you’re worried about your teeth (like my parents), and it’s a nice protein based vegan option too, and suitable if you’re dairy free.

Cross country today, injured leg seemed happier…. Will let you know tomorrow! 🤣

#running #crosscountry #thamesvalleyxc

Omega-3 fats, B vitamins, and zinc are foundational for neurotransmitter production, focus, and memory. Once these are in place, adaptogens or nootropics can be layered on, when you need, them otherwise they could just be an expensive sticking plaster. Nutrition, sleep, and stress management are the real foundations of brain performance.

Find omega 3 in mackerel, salmon (aim for wild), herrings, sardines and anchovies. You need to eat it more than once a week though.

#BrainHealth #CognitiveBoost #NutritionTips #HealthyHabits

Supplements aren’t one-size-fits-all. Needs change with training load, hormones, and season. It can also change through life stages and with age. Reviewing intake ensures you’re supporting energy, digestion, and immunity, rather than spending on unnecessary products.

I have supplements that I do take every day, then I layer on others depending on my training, hormones, the weather! (hayfever/histamine), digestion, stress..

#SupplementSmart #HealthCheck #NutritionSupport #Wellness

Daily movement improves circulation, digestion, mood, and sleep quality — all vital for performance, immune support, and hormone balance. Even short walks or stretching sessions count, especially in winter.

I remember learning about how both walking and yoga increase our levels of GABA, that's our relaxing neurotransmitter (just like serotonin is the 'happy hormone'). Getting outside has other bonuses, but if you can't that day, then try some yoga?

#DailyMovement #FitnessTips #Wellbeing #MindBody

This is a neti pot. Used in yoga as a cleansing practice. Add salt to water (boiled), allow it to cool and then you run the liquid through each nasal. You can tell if you have the right amount of salt, it will feel comfortable.

It’s useful for clearing out the mucous after December, after a cold, during hayfever and as a regular practice. You need to clear your nose afterwards by blowing it and moving your head side to side. Another option is the saline nose sprays in pharmacies. This neti pot is from CVS a pharmacy in the USA so it’s over 10 years old!

#yoga #netipot #salinerinse #catarrh

Vitamin D regulates immune cell activity and is crucial for bone and muscle health. Deficiency is common in winter, so testing and personalised supplementation ensures you’re supporting immunity and recovery effectively.

Last time I tested I needed 2000IU a day. The government recommendation is 400IU. Some people need that amount, and I've seen others need 4000IU for a short amount of time. Test don't guess.

#VitaminD #ImmuneSupport #WinterWellness #HealthyLiving

Zinc plays a key role in immune cell function and tissue repair. While supplements can help, consistent dietary intake from foods like oysters, eggs, pumpkin seeds, or beans is the most effective long-term strategy. Timing matters too — early intake may shorten colds.

Take care with zinc supplement, we shouldn't overdo it.

Vitamin C is water-soluble, so it isn’t stored in the body. Regular intake from fruits like oranges, berries, and kiwis supports immune defence and antioxidant protection, and fibre supports gut health, which is central to overall immunity.

My favourite is pineapple, I find that it really helps with catarrh and congestion at the end of a cold.

Fibre feeds the microbiome, and protein repairs tissues — together they support digestion, immunity, and hormone balance. Simple swaps like lentils for rice or beans in meals are cost-effective ways to optimise nutrition without overcomplicating cooking.

Some people find beans and lentils hard to digest, try really well cooked red lentils (and wash them well before cooking) or butter beans as a start.

Your gut is central to immunity. Fermented foods like kefir and natural yoghurt support healthy microbiome balance, which can enhance nutrient absorption, immune function, and even mental wellbeing. Starting with small, daily servings can make a meaningful difference over time.

P.S. I have a lot of experience of supporting people with IBS and similar. Please get in touch if you'd like a chat about how we can do this through food, lifestyle, diaries and maybe a scientific test. For some of you we might not want to add in lots of fermented yoghurt and kefir...

Colds are common in winter, and planning recovery time is smart, not indulgent. Adequate sleep, hydration, and supporting nutrients like vitamin C, zinc, and protein may shorten illness duration. Allowing recovery protects your training, hormones, and long-term immunity.

#WinterWellness #SelfCare #ImmuneSupport #HealthyHabits

Batch cooking helps you consistently meet your nutrition goals. Preparing protein-rich, high-fibre meals in advance supports digestion, hormone balance, and immunity. Slow cooker and freezer-friendly dishes save time, reduce stress, and prevent reliance on processed foods that can disrupt digestion or energy levels.

What's your favourite slow cooker meal? We grew up on those Schwarz Coq au vin and Chicken Chasseur meals. One of my favourites now is sausages, beans, tomatoes and veg.

#MealPrep #BatchCooking #HealthyEating #TimeSaver

Structured goal-setting is key to maintaining motivation and reducing injury risk. Planning events ahead allows you to periodise your training, optimise recovery, and align your nutrition with your training cycles. Ensuring adequate protein, carbs, and micronutrients supports performance and immunity, especially during winter months.

I've got a half marathon planned and a cross country, how about you? Tag a friend you want to run with and likes nutrition and wellbeing tips!

#RunningGoals #FitnessMotivation #HealthyLiving #RunnersLife

January is ideal for small-scale gardening. Fresh herbs and vegetables are often more nutrient-dense than shop-bought, providing antioxidants, vitamin C, and polyphenols that support immunity and recovery. Even a few pots can boost your nutrient intake and add fresh flavour to meals. Starting now ensures a consistent supply of fresh produce all year. Be patient as they need warmth to germinate, you might need to use a germinator.

I love deciding what I am going to grow, this year I have got some apricot chillies to try. They are apricot in colour, sweet and not hot.

Souper!

It’s definitely the time to be tucking into soups and I love them.

Easy to digest
Easy way to get vegetables in
Quick and warming
Quick way to replenish carbs after exercise (potato, beetroot, carrot and other root vegetables are good options)

Soup on its own though is a bit like eating a salad. You can feel good about it but it probably won’t fill you up, and that makes resisting cravings difficult.

You might have a really protein dense, fibre dense soup of course but they are hard to find and for many people we want to see around 20g or more protein at lunch. Try and find that in a soup.

✔️Boost your soups:
Sprinkle on seeds
Add beans or pureed beans
Try pea protein powder (it needs a really good stir)

✔️Add to your soups:
Side salad/veg with fish, eggs, meat, chicken or beans

When you’re choosing a soup have a look at the label. Compare the protein and carbohydrate amounts, and note that high in protein doesn’t necessarily mean enough protein for you.

#soups #winterwellness #nutritionist #running #halfmarathon

Do you suffer with IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome)? Christmas and festive eating can make it worse, it’s not a nice feeling.

I’ve written a blog https://www.healthandhart.com/post/ibs-in-january-why-symptoms-feel-worse-after-christmas if you’d like a quick read.

There are many triggers that affect digestion such as histamine levels, exercise, dehydration, hormones, change of routine, changes in fibre, sugars, artificial sweeteners, food intolerances, stress, alcohol, certain vegetables, gluten, wheat, some fruits and some FODMAPs.

What bothers one person can be different to another person though, There are a lot of gut experts posting confidently on social media who are saying that you should do x,y and z.

In my experience with 10 years working with clients and my own lived experience -you would probably benefit with a bit of detective work otherwise you could be following all this advice, buying the fibre bars and taking out things that aren’t relevant to you.

Please don’t suffer and get in touch if I can help, I can talk you through how have I’ve helped other people

Perfect to get back on track, sweet and healthy. Two beaten eggs and a soft banana all mixed up and cooked in a frying pan, I used coconut oil. Keep the heat low otherwise it burns and doesn’t taste so nice. You might need to flip it over or put it under a grill to cook the other side. Gently heat the berries and sprinkle with cinnamon.

A practical New Year’s Day lunch - peas (for digestive health and fibre) also protein, dark leafy greens (so many benefits), fish fingers (fast, easy to cook, 16g protein in 4), bread and a blob of tomato ketchup. May not be ‘perfect’ in the eyes 👀 of some experts who suggest cooking everything from scratch, but to be fair neither is staying up past your bedtime, drinking alcohol or sweet non alcoholic drinks, and eating rich foods. You’ve got to find the wins when you can and prioritise what you can do.

✔️Small steps to get back on track - always have frozen peas 🫛in the freezer and green leaves 🌱in the fridge. Add them to your beige foods and you’re doing a good job.
