I am an unashamed Autumn obsessive. Obviously I love the colours and the cosiness, and the chance to get out my boots and woolly jumpers. But also the stillness that comes after the juiciness of summer.

This time of year is all about gathering and harvesting the fruits of our labour, and preparing for winter. We had such an abundant summer here in Somerset, so our freezer is filled with blackberries and our cupboard with plum jam and chutneys. It feels quite nice to be eating them thinking of sunny days picking fruit from the hedgerows 😋

Anyway, here are a few moments of calm from of late - squeezed in amongst a busy schedule of wedding planning and work and life!

A few Autumnal reflections to ask yourself: What are you grateful for right now? What good things are you harvesting as a result of your hard work? What healthy habits are you investing in now to keep you going through the winter months?

Happy Autumn everyone! 🍁

I recently did a guest blog post for the lovely @sweetbeeorganics all about the impact of modern stress on our bodies, and how we’re not designed to cope with the level of stress that some of experience on a daily (hourly?!) basis. 😫

In case you were wondering…. Yes, nutritional therapists still eat ice cream.🍦And bloody well enjoy it.

I hate the idea of food-induced guilt, of labelling some foods as “good” and “bad”, of attributing words like “sin” and “naughty” to certain foods. 🙂‍↔️

A big part of my practice is retraining the way we think and talk about food. Yes, making more healthy choices, but also eating intuitively, going for balance rather than perfection, and enjoying every bite of something you enjoy.

What is hormone imbalance, and should you be worried?

You’ve probably seen the words ‘hormone balance’ and ‘hormone imbalance’ being used a lot online, perhaps for selling supplements or testing. So are imbalanced hormones really a thing, or is it just another marketing ploy?

Check out my latest blog now for the full low down…

If there’s one thing you should know when it comes to health - it’s that there isn’t one magic habit / supplement / superfood that will solve all your problems and change your life. Though clever marketing from wellness brands might tell you otherwise 🤔

The less sexy and appealing truth is that it’s lots of little, sustainable changes that make the difference to long term health.

Like adding more plants into your diet, getting outside first thing in the morning, limiting screen time at night, chewing your food thoroughly, journaling, finding movement that you love, drinking more water, eating more wholegrains, swapping milk chocolate for dark, meditating, batch cooking…

Very rarely do people wake up one morning and decide on a complete overhaul of their diet and lifestyle, which they then keep up for the rest of their lives. It takes months and years to make real change. But as they say, good things take time!

So what little habit can you incorporate this week? It might be cutting down the sugars in your tea from 2 spoons to 1, sprinkling some mixed seeds on your cereal, putting your phone in another room while you sleep or booking that yoga class you’ve been talking about.

What better time to start than now eh?!

If Pickle the dog filled out my nutritional therapy questionnaire 🐶

When I work with a new client I always get them to fill out a nutritional therapy questionnaire, which asks many questions about their goals, health history, family history, daily life, symptoms, digestion, energy levels, eating habits, toxic exposure and more (including the ones above).

I’m not going to lie, it’s a pretty hefty questionnaire (if you’re one of my clients, you’ll know this!). It may seem like a lot of questions but it’s REALLY important in piecing together the jigsaw of your health, and knowing where to focus in our sessions.

Curious about working with me? Check out my website suzyshinner.com to learn more, or get in touch for a free 30 minute consultation by visiting Suzyshinner.com/bookings.

My unashamed plug for the least sexy of all the ch

My unashamed plug for the least sexy of all the cheeses: cottage cheese. 🧀

I feel pretty bad for cottage cheese - let’s be honest, it’s not that glamorous or exciting, and it hasn’t really been popular since leotards and leg warmers were at the height of fashion.

BUT despite being tragically overlooked, when it comes to protein-dense foods, cottage cheese is a real winner. It’s cheap, yummy and goes with pretty much everything. Plus, it’s lower in saturated fat than most other dairy products and still contains all the goodness, including nutrients like calcium and B12.

You don’t need to spend a fortune on super expensive protein shakes or magic seedy sprinkles to up your protein. Sometimes, the simpler the better.

Curious? Come join the cottage cheese revolution! Mix it into yogurt at breakfast, add to lunches, or on to oatcakes for a protein-dense snack.

So please, give cottage cheese a chance and let’s help it make the comeback it deserves 🧀 🏆
