Nutrition for Gut health

& Midlife

Good gut health is increasingly linked to benefits beyond digestion, influencing immunity, brain, heart & skin health, as well as aspects of weight management & hormone balance. I provide practical, evidence-based nutrition advice to support digestive health and overall wellbeing.

I also have a special interest in midlife women’s health, including perimenopause and menopause. I help women navigate changes such as body composition, energy & appetite, whilst also supporting digestive comfort.

My approach is practical, realistic and focused on sustainable habits, not restriction or quick fixes.

Practical Nutrition Insights for Real Life

Losing weight on a GLP-1? Don’t forget your gut. 🦠 Losing weight on a GLP-1? Don’t forget your gut. 🦠🥦 If you're taking a GLP-1 medication, or simply trying to lose weight by eating less, there's something important to remember: Eating less doesn't mean your nutritional needs disappear. In fact, when your appetite is reduced and you're eating significantly less food, the quality of what you do eat becomes even more important. A recent study from Deakin University's Food & Mood Centre - the MicroFit Study - compared two very-low-energy diets in women with a high BMI. Both diets provided around 800–900 calories per day. But one was predominantly made up of whole foods, while the other relied more heavily on meal replacement supplements. Interestingly, the whole-food approach was associated with: 🌱 Greater gut microbial diversity 🦠 Greater microbial richness 🥦 Better preservation of bacteria involved in breaking down fibre So while both approaches resulted in a very low energy intake, what made up those calories mattered to the gut microbiome. And this is particularly relevant if you're using a GLP-1. When your appetite is much smaller, it can be surprisingly easy to end up eating very little,, and potentially miss out on: • Fibre • Protein • Vitamins and minerals • A variety of plant foods • Enough food to support muscle • The foods that help nourish your gut bacteria This doesn't mean you need to eat a perfect diet. And it doesn't mean meal replacements or supplements are "bad." It simply highlights an important point: When you're eating less, make the food you ARE eating count. Your weight is only one part of your health. Your gut health, muscle, nutritional status, energy levels and relationship with food matter too. ❤️ If you're using a GLP-1 and struggling to know what to eat when you just don't feel hungry, this is exactly where personalised nutrition support can help.

When people hear “IBS dietitian”, they often assum When people hear “IBS dietitian”, they often assume it means being given a long list of foods to avoid. But that’s only one small part of the picture. IBS is a complex condition, and managing it is about understanding your symptoms, your triggers and the different factors that can influence your gut. A dietitian can help you look at: ✨ Your individual symptoms and bowel patterns ✨ Eating habits and nutrition needs ✨ Potential food triggers (without unnecessary restriction) ✨ The gut-brain connection and lifestyle factors The goal isn’t to create a smaller and smaller list of foods you can eat. It’s to help you understand your gut, improve symptoms, and feel confident around food again. No two people with IBS are the same, and your approach shouldn’t be either. 💬 What’s one thing you wish you’d known earlier about IBS? #ibsdietitian #gidietitian #ibshelp #telehealthibsdietitian #lowfodmap
New research on the gut-brain connection is SO abs New research on the gut-brain connection is SO absolutely fascinating. It shows that the microbes in your gut (which are always changing and influenced by what you eat) send signals to your brain 🧠 in real time ⏲️ within seconds. This then influences things like mood and appetite. Even more interesting is that its often the way these signals are interpreted by the brain, that drive symptoms - for example bloating/pain in something like IBS... rather than the input (eg the food) alone. Another great reason to feed those gut bugs 🐛 the good stuff ! #gutheath microbiome #guthealthscience #ibsrelief #ibsdietitian
