Now, this is what I'd call a SUGAR SPIKE! This client (diabetic, in remission) occasionally wears a continuous blood glucose monitor (CBGM). A worthwhile exercise, not all the time, but a great way to re-set, remind and get back on track!

So, what caused this spike?

😡Stress? No, although stress can lead blood sugars to rocket.

🚴‍♂️Exercise? Nah - exercise will generally push your blood glucose the opposite direction

🥪A sarnie? Yep! A work meeting with shop bought sarnies. While a sandwich may appear innocent, shop bought sandwiches are mainly ultra processed food. They're going to be low in fibre and protein and higher in sugars - a perfect recipe for a blood glucose spike.

While this slide doesn't show what happened a few hours later, let me assure you, is wasn't pretty! A huge dip.... leading to a drop in energy levels and a desire for more sugar!

Know anyone who's diabetic or pre-diabetic?

I spent years as an NHS Diabetic Nurse, yet I never felt I had sufficient training or education in nutrition. In my day, the focus was always on getting the HbA1C in range with the use of medication. Lots of medication! I loved being a Diabetic Nurse and attended plenty of study days, mainly sponsored by the Pharmaceutical Companies!

Nowadays, we know type 2 diabetes and pre-diabetes can easily be put into remission or even reversed through dietary and lifestyle changes.

This Client was in a pickle!

A life-long love of fine food and wine, combined with a successful yet highly stressful career and unfavourable genes, had taken their toll of this wonderful client.

There was a lot he didn't want to give up or change. I get that! So, it's about compromise, it's about listening to the client, finding the easy wins and offering good (and tasty) alternatives.

It's also about ensuring the client fully understanding the health consequences of their diet and lifestyle choices - without putting the fear of God into them!

We added a continual blood glucose monitor to this inquisitive client, which helped to educate and definitely helped with compliance!

Do you know any one with diabetes? Or diagnosed with pre-diabetes?

This Client had suffered for years with IBS. Like so many of us, right?

She had seen everyone and had tried everything.

A detailed consultation helped me identify the culprit!

We followed the recognised "3 R approach" - we REMOVED the triggers, we REPLENISHED her gut, and then SLOWLY RE-INTRODUCED the offending food group.

WITH GOOD EFFECT!

Do you suffer with IBS symptoms? Nervous and stressed around eating certain foods? Do get in touch. It might be quite simple to fix.

That's old news! This client is closer to losing

That's old news! This client is closer to losing 3 stone! I promise you, it has very little to do with calories in / calories out. Sorry.

Areas which I may focus on over the consultations depend upon the clients needs, but may include

* Hormones, especially insulin, cortisol, thyroid and sex hormones
* Timings, when you eat is important
* Gut microbiome. Strange, but it plays a pivotal role
*Level of food processing; food hyper-palatability and the effects it has on food choices and consumption.
* Food addiction and relationship with food
* Fat and muscle ratios
*Support and accountability.

If you want to know more, please do shout. Bookings for October are now available.

Yes, it's International Cat Day, but quick frankly I'm not a massive cat person. We've got a couple, they're ruined carpets, they "gift" us with all sorts of wildlife, including a frog and a rabbit over the years, and then you've got the issue of cat care when you're away! Now, when it comes to dogs......that's another story! Just love dogs!

And it's to be celebrated! Research undertaken by Dan Buettner into the Blue Zones was able to show clearly just how important friends and social connection are for both our physical and mental health. It helps us live longer too!
So, do weird stuff - smile at strangers, use the phone to call someone (does anyone actually call people nowadays!?) and spend time with people that make you happy!

Who would think that a bunch of bacteria, parasites and fungi could be responsible for so much. Having a healthy, diverse microbiome can contribute to weight loss!

Can you PLEASE ditch your scales!
So many of us have a horrendous relationship with the bathroom scales.
We jump onto them each morning and, depending upon the number that pops up, go on to day full of self loathing and guilt.
If you want to measure progress, then focus instead on weekly waist measurements and if looking at the numbers on a tape measure trigger you, then use a piece of string!
Better still, how about going on how you feel - more energy? better sleep? Alternatively use clinical markers to monitor progress, such as lower BP, HbA1C or inflammatory markers.

Oh, if only it was as easy as counting calories in

Oh, if only it was as easy as counting calories in and counting calories out! Right? Wrong!
If it that easy, then we'd all be the weight we want to be!
So, where do I start? The basics! Yes, to lose weight you need to be mindful of your intake, but, to be honest, avoiding ultra processed food and eating within a time window, normally takes care of that. What's more important, is keeping blood glucose and insulin levels as low and stable as possible and this is done, primarily, by avoiding sugars and starches.
If you've been counting calories for a long time, and you think your basal metabolic rate is lower as a result, then regular exercise will help, especially resistant and high intensity.
If you're interested in getting some professional help to improve your health and well being, then take a look at my website, I offer on line weight management courses which are a complete bargain!
