“In today's society, chronic diseases have become synonymous with ageing, detracting from the joy of longevity. Perhaps you've witnessed first-hand the toll that lifestyle choices can take on loved ones as they age.”
Here's a glimpse of what we'll cover:
Empowering Your Mitochondria: Often likened to cellular powerhouses, mitochondria play a central role in the ageing process. Learn how to support these vital energy generators and optimise cellular function.
Addressing Inflammation: inflammation, a hallmark of ageing, may be managed through dietary and lifestyle interventions. Discover foods and habits that can mitigate inflammation, supporting gut and cellular health while reducing oxidative stress.
Managing Stress: Ageing often brings heightened stress levels, impacting blood pressure and overall well-being. Explore how certain foods and lifestyle habits can restore balance to your nervous system, promoting resilience and vitality.
Nutrient Optimisation: Understand how specific nutrients interact with cardiovascular health and may help counteract the effects of ageing and inflammation. Learn about beneficial supplements and medication considerations to support your heart health.
Toxin Awareness: Identify environmental toxins and infection risks that may compromise cardiovascular health. Equip yourself with strategies to limit exposure and optimise recovery, promoting overall wellness.
Dietary Approaches: Explore evidence-backed dietary strategies to optimise heart health, including the role of fats in your diet. Demystify common misconceptions and discover how dietary choices can profoundly impact cardiovascular wellness.
Join us in embracing positive ageing and redefining what it means to thrive at every stage of life. Whether you're in your 50s or beyond, it's never too late to tap into the wealth of knowledge and support. Let's embark on this exciting journey together, exploring the wonders of nature, nurturing our bodies, and cultivating lasting friendships along the way. Your best years are yet to come, and we're here to make every moment count!
Our workshop series consists of four sections, each addressing different aspects of health and well-being. Whether you're interested in heart health, cognitive function, bone health, or gut health, there's something for everyone. Please note that while we provide nutritional and lifestyle information, it does not supersede medical advice and medications.
Workshop 1: The Beating Heart Explore the factors contributing to heart health and learn how nutrition and lifestyle choices can support a healthy heart, addressing issues like inflammation, oxidative stress, and elevated blood pressure.
Workshop 2: The Mind Connections Understand the profound connection between the mind and overall well-being, and discover strategies to support cognitive function through nutrition and lifestyle adjustments.
Workshop 3: Our Scaffolding Bone Learn about the dynamic nature of bone health and how nutrition and lifestyle choices can maintain optimal bone strength and resilience as we age.
Workshop 4: The Gut Instinct Explore the intricate ecosystem of the gut microbiome and discover how nutrition and lifestyle interventions can promote overall health and well-being.
Empower Your energy, metabolism, brain and meaningful connections
Change doesn't have to mean overhauling your entire life. I've heard from clients who worry about giving up the things they love. Nutritional Coaching—whether in one-on-one sessions or through workshops—is all about empowering you to make changes that work for you. Happiness and social connections are powerful tools for longevity, and I’m here to support you in finding the balance that keeps those aspects intact.
When it comes to weight management, my approach goes beyond counting pounds or you feeling solely responsible for the results. I believe it's important to consider the broader context—the outside environment and various health factors—that may impact an individual’s ability to achieve their goals. By understanding these underlying mechanisms, you can alleviate much of the distress that often accompanies weight management challenges.
Rather than focusing strictly on weight, I prioritise overall health. This includes:
Gaining Muscle: Building muscle is crucial for long-term metabolic health, helping you maintain strength and vitality as you age.
Balancing Blood Sugar: Stabilising blood sugar levels is essential for sustained energy, reducing cravings, and supporting overall well-being.
Hormonal Regulation: Hormones play a key role in weight and health. By learning how to regulate hormones such as insulin and cortisol, you can create a more balanced and harmonious internal environment.
Stress Management: Chronic stress can significantly affect weight and health. Finding effective ways to manage stress is a vital component of long-term well-being.
These tools are far more powerful and sustainable for achieving long-term health goals. By focusing on what your body truly needs, you'll be empowered to reach your goals in a way that feels natural and achievable.
Remember, it’s about progress, not perfection. If you can make positive changes 80% of the time and find ways to manage the occasional excess, you're definitely moving in the right direction.
Energy and Fatigue:
Focusing on the mitochondria, this workshop will help you boost your energy levels to enjoy the things you love
Metabolic Health:

Brain Health:

I’m looking forward to this new chapter and hope you’ll join me on this journey to better health, longevity, and overall wellness.
