I went to Clear Passage with a number of issues – strictures from Crohn’s, lack of periods, low nutritional absorption, SIBO, fatigue, leg ache etc.  My main reason for going though was to avoid major surgery for strictures.  Now that the therapy is over and I’ve been doing the home programme for about six months, […]

Just came across these photos from a trip this time last year to Manchester. Gorgeous sunny Spring weekend of wandering around, eating in great cafes and restaurants and sitting in beer gardens. Hopefully it won’t be too long until we get to enjoy those things again! . #manchester #travels #weekendgetaway #throwbacktuesday #greenjuice #healthytravel #nutritioncoach #nutritionaltherapist
My tummy hasn’t been great the last few weeks (hello stress!) so there are days when gluten free toast and banana are all I can handle (#crohnslife). However I like to prepare meals for my husband even if I can’t eat the same. Breakfast for himself this morning was brown soda toast topped with nut butter and pears with a sprinkle of cinnamon and pumpkin seeds. He’s told me it was really good 👍. I’m sure you could switch the bread to a gluten-free version to make it #glutenfree #dairyfree and #vegan . . It’s got complex carbs from the bread and pear and healthy fats and some protein from the nut butter and seeds. . #breakfastideas #breakfast #healthybreakfast #veganbreakfast #nutrition #nutritionaltherapist
Weekend walks. Fantastic day ☀️. Waited for low tide so knew there’d be more space on the beach to walk and keep our #socialdistance. We had a lovely stretch of the beach to ourselves and most people we passed were really respectful of keeping apart. It’s infuriating though to spot groups of teenagers STILL hanging around (hiding in the dunes). So selfish. They don’t realize they could potentially be the cause of someone losing their life. But their social lives are more important 😡. . #dublin #ireland #socialdistancing #weekendwalks
Getting used to working from home WFH. I do better physically and mentally with a routine so trying to carve out a new one for the next few weeks. Here’s what I’m trying to do in the mornings: ✅ wake up at the same time I normally would (after going to bed at my regular time the night before - no late night Netflix binges) ✅drink warm water with lemon and apple cider vinegar as usual ✅journal and meditate (I’ve been doing this for months anyway - a centred start to the day) ✅get moving - I downloaded @lesmillsondemand and did a Sh’Bam class in the kitchen (never work out in the morning normally but as I’m not walking to the office I thought it would be a good idea to get the blood pumping in the morning) ✅get ready and dressed. It’ll give me the ‘ready for work’ mindset ✅eat a nutritious breakfast. Loaded up my green smoothie with loads of leafy greens and antioxidant rich fruits and veg. Normally I don’t make smoothies in the morning but thought it was a good way of getting more fruit and veg into me 🥬🥒🍐🍌🥥 Anybody got other suggestions to help with working from home? #workingfromhome #morningroutine #greensmoothie #nutritiousfood
Happy St Patrick’s Day! Ireland you are beautiful ☘️🇮🇪☘️ #ireland #stpatricksday
Favorite part of working from home is freshly oven roasted veg for lunch - mushrooms, broccoli, courgette, sweet potato, parsnip 🥦🍠🥬🥗with oven roasted salmon on a bed of rocket and a side of sauerkraut for those probiotics 👌 Trying to up my veg intake to 8-10 portions a day. Some days better than others given my Crohn’s. But I keep trying as the more veg we eat the better our health (micro nutrients and fibre). #crohns #crohnsdisease #ibd #veggies #lunch #glutenfree #dairyfree #aip #paleo #plantbased #nutrition #guthealth
