After a pretty low start to the year I’m pleased to say the last week was a goodun' and it’s mainly down to the mindset I’ve taken on things. Whilst I know it’s not always that simple I reminded myself that many of the things I was feeling low about were changeable and by myself only.
It’s estimated 1/3 of UK adults are “interested” in changing their eating habits according to a recent YouGov poll and Veganuary could be the starting point. Personally I’m not sure about the data, I’m interested in running a marathon but… 🤣 A friend asked me if I believe a plant based diet is the best thing to do for health? Here's my reply.
This week on Fitter Food Radio Keris and Matt speak to Dr. Tommy Wood about the health benefits of muscle mass. Our discussion includes: How much exercise is enough to build sufficient muscle for health Nutritional supplements and dietary…
It’s that time of year again where your eyes light up at the thought of a bargain on Black Friday. Over the last couple of years I've really started to think twice about how I spend my money and engage in consumerism. I now ask myself the following 5 questions before making a purchase:

I know this is grim but I love a good spot squeeze. I drive Matt mad following him around the house because I’ve spied a pimple. If I hang around long enough he finally gives in and lets me have my moment. Joking aside, I still have reoccurring nightmares about acne.
I often get asked if there’s a particular diet to treat hormone issues. Common ones include PCOS, endometriosis, PMS/PMT, perimenopause, and menopause.
