Constantly hungry even after eating? A nutritional therapist explains 10 real reasons for constant hunger, from blood sugar swings to insulin resistance.

First: Take a Breath Being told your cholesterol is elevated doesn't automatically mean you're heading for a heart attack. Cholesterol is a naturally occurring substance in the body, it's essential for making hormones, vitamin D and the structural walls of every cell. The picture is far more nuanced than a single number suggests. Understanding what your results actually mean is the first and most important step. What Do the Different Cholesterol Numbers Mean? Your cholesterol

Seven broken bones in five years. All sports-related and all in the same family. At this point, we're basically experts and as a nutritional therapist, I can tell you, what you eat during recovery matters far more than most people realise. Whether it's a fractured wrist from a tumble on the football pitch or a stress fracture from one too many training sessions, most of us get the same advice: rest, keep it elevated, come back in six weeks. What rarely gets a mention is nutri

Why Standard Blood Tests Don't Always Give You the Full Picture GP blood tests are designed to rule out disease. They look for markers that fall outside a wide reference range and if your results sit within that range, you're typically told there's nothing wrong. Your GP is your first and most important port of call for any health concern and nutritional therapy works alongside medical care, never in place of it. But there's a huge gap between 'no disease' and 'feeling your b

Many women notice new digestive symptoms during peri-menopause and menopause, including acid reflux or heartburn, even if they’ve never struggled with it before. If you’ve found yourself dealing with burning in the chest, a sour taste in the mouth, coughing after meals or disrupted sleep due to reflux, you’re certainly not alone. While reflux is often blamed on food alone, hormonal changes during menopause can play a significant role in how your digestive system functions. Un

Feeling bloated can be incredibly uncomfortable. Many people describe it as a tight, swollen feeling in the abdomen that appears during the day, often after eating. Your stomach may feel stretched, your clothes feel tighter and you might experience gas, pressure or sluggish digestion. For some people, bloating happens occasionally. But for others, it becomes a regular part of daily life. If you often find yourself asking, “Why am I always bloated?”, you’re certainly not alone

Digestive issues can be exhausting. Many people come to me feeling frustrated, confused and fed up with trying different diets and still not feeling better. There are a few things I tell every client when we first start working together. These are the foundations of how I approach digestive health. You are not broken This is always the first thing I say. Your body is not failing you. Your symptoms are not random. They are signals that something needs support. Digestive issu

If you struggle with digestive issues, you’ve probably been told to look at what you’re eating. And while food is important, there’s another piece of the puzzle that often gets missed: stress. I see this all the time with clients. They’re doing their best with food, but they’re busy, overwhelmed, tired and running on adrenaline. And their gut just isn’t coping. Stress doesn’t just affect your mind, it has a very real impact on your digestion. The gut and brain are deeply conn

An underactive thyroid, also known as hypothyroidism, is a common yet often misunderstood condition that can significantly affect day-to-day wellbeing. Many people live with symptoms for years before receiving a diagnosis and even once diagnosed, some continue to feel unwell despite treatment. Nutritional therapy cannot diagnose or treat medical conditions, nor replace medical care. However, it can play a valuable supportive role in optimising nutrition, supporting thyroid fu

Modern leadership demands more than sharp thinking. It requires sustained energy, emotional resilience and physical endurance, often under constant pressure. Yet, for many executives, nutrition is the missing link. A bespoke nutrition strategy isn’t about dieting. It’s about designing a system that supports performance, clarity and wellbeing, even in high-stakes environments. After all, it’s what professional and elite athletes draw upon to improve their performance and ultim

We’ve all felt it, that mid-afternoon slump when your focus fades, your eyes feel heavy and you’d trade anything for a nap or a sugary snack. You might assume it’s just part of a busy day but often the real cause lies in what (and how) you’ve eaten earlier. As a nutritional therapist, I see this pattern all the time. Many clients start their mornings with good intentions, maybe a quick breakfast and a coffee but by 3 p.m they’re running on empty. The good news? You can reclai
