I used to count every calorie like it was gospel. But here’s the plot twist... not all calories treat your body the same.

Turns out, some of the foods I thought were “fine” were low-key sabotaging me.

Certain oils? Slowly inflaming my gut and hormones—especially when heated.

Ready-made products? Full of preservatives messing with my metabolism.

Sauces? Hidden sugars and additives hijacking my hunger cues.

So I flipped the script: the closer I eat to whole, real food, the better my body runs. Less drama, less bloat, more energy.

In today’s fast-moving world, we’ve normalised eating science projects in packaging.

So here’s a cheeky question:
If you can’t pronounce it or visualise it growing from the ground... is it really food?

If you’re ready to stop guessing and actually feel good in your body again—book a session using the action button in my bio!

Eat with intention, not less. Your body isn’t a problem to be fixed by eating less — it’s a system that thrives when given the right support.

When you eat with purpose, you fuel processes like hormone balance, metabolism, and energy production.

Here are 5 ways to eat with intention (not restriction):

1. Start your day with protein - It helps stabilise blood sugar and reduces cravings throughout the day.

2. Pause before you eat – Take 5 deep breaths to switch on your “rest-and-digest” system, which improves digestion and satiety.

3. Use the 80/20 rule – 80% whole, nourishing foods and 20% flexibility for enjoyment. This keeps consistency without guilt.

4. Build balanced meals – Include fibre, healthy fats, and protein in each meal to support hormones and mood.

5. Don’t fear carbs – Your brain and ovaries rely on them. Choose whole sources like root veg, oats, or legumes to keep energy steady.

Intentional eating isn’t about perfection, it’s about awareness, nourishment, and respecting your biology.

Lifestyle diseases can creep up on us so quickly.
I’ll be honest — over the past two years, I haven’t been nearly as active as I used to be. And let’s be real: “no time” isn’t a valid excuse.

My mind has been overloaded — balancing the demands of a start-up, studying for my degree, building a practice, and constantly running around like a headless chicken.

Most of us already know what we should be doing to live healthier — but sometimes, we just need a helping hand.

I’m now rebuilding my fitness routine — slowly, intentionally, and without pressure. Our bodies are resilient, and it’s never too late to start again. Progress doesn’t have to be perfect — it just has to begin.

As a dietitian, here’s why I don’t recommend cutting carbs, especially for women and teens:

1. Hormone health
Carbs help reduce stress hormones like cortisol and support thyroid function. Without enough carbs, the body perceives stress and begins to downregulate reproductive and thyroid hormones, leading to fatigue, irregular cycles, and slower metabolism.

2. Mental clarity & mood
Your brain runs on glucose, the simplest form of carbohydrate. When carbs are too low, the brain struggles to function efficiently, which can trigger mood swings, anxiety, poor concentration, and sleep disturbances.

3. Gut health
Fibre from carbs (like fruits, vegetables, legumes, and whole grains) feeds beneficial gut bacteria. These bacteria produce short-chain fatty acids that reduce inflammation and support gut lining health. No carbs = hungry microbes = a disrupted, inflamed gut.

I use carb exchanges (not calorie counting) to help you find your ideal intake, based on symptoms, stage of life, and goals.

Your body needs carbs. The right kind. The right amount.

Just ONE stand… and you’ll be hooked! Not your normal kitchen scale, but an InBody scan — one of the BEST tools I use to track real progress beyond just the scale!

As a dietitian, I don’t like guessing. You might look petite, but it’s what’s going on inside that counts:
- Muscle mass
- Fat mass
- Hydration, inflammation, and more!

Knowing your full body composition, plus checking in with bloods and urine results = the power combo to truly personalise your plan. 🙌🏼

Here’s why building muscle matters:
• Muscle boosts your metabolism — even while you rest (and yes, you’ll be eating more!)
• More muscle = better hormone balance
• Muscle protects your body as you age

Book your scan and start your journey with data, not guesswork!
And trust me… you’ll want to come back and fix your score ❤️‍🔥

Step 1: Face your fears — it’s time for a proper body scan!

This isn’t your average bathroom scale — it’s a full-body assessment that tells us so much more.
