I love my "job" ❤️ It really is my mission to help women not feel s**t all the time because life is too short for that!

The next intake of The SAINT Method group is starting on Mon 27 July. Message me if you're keen to join x

Can we stop pretending motivation is the answer? 😅

You don't brush your teeth because you're motivated.

You don't put your seatbelt on because you're motivated.

You don't make dinner because you're motivated.

You do those things because they're habits.

Yet when it comes to exercise, nutrition and looking after ourselves, we expect to wake up every day feeling inspired and motivated.

No wonder so many women feel like they're failing.

The women who get the best results aren't more motivated than everyone else.

They've simply built systems that make healthy choices easier.

If you've been waiting for motivation to magically appear, this is your reminder:

You are not the problem.

You probably just need a better system.

That's exactly what I'll be teaching inside my FREE 5 Day SAINT Kickstarter starting soon.

Send me a message if you'd like the details 💛

Look....I am a child of the 80's so I was there when the Atkins craze took over and ruined everyone’s lunch. But the truth is: carbs are not “bad” and they do not make you gain fat.

In fact, when matched for calories and protein, research shows there is NO DIFFERENCE in fat loss between a high fat/low carb diet vs a high carb/low fat diet.

Carbohydrates are the macronutrient generally associated with energy, as they are broken down in the body to single molecules of glucose which are the body's preferred energy source 🔋

So if you are an athlete, very active or have strength/performance goals, then carbs will be an essential macronutrient for you to ensure you have the energy to perform at your best 💪

We can survive without carbs (whereas cutting out protein and fat will have really negative consequences) so “cutting out carbs” is a popular dieting trick as it is really easy to reduce calories when you are cutting out a whole food group!

Whether “cutting out carbs” is sustainable in the long term would come down to the individual, but rest assured, carbs can be enjoyed as part of a varied diet 🥔🍞🥪🍟🥙🍝

If you want to learn more about the nutritional approach I take with myself and my clients, I am running a FREE 5 day workshop taking you behind the scenes of The SAINT Method. We start on the 12 July so make sure you sign up now (link in the bio) or send me a DM and I’ll send you the link.

This week on the SAINT Method Q&A, I'm covering three topics that come up time and time again...

💪 Is creatine actually worth taking? I dive into what the research says, who benefits most, common myths, and why it's one of the few supplements I genuinely recommend.

🩸 I also talk about training around your menstrual cycle. I share my thoughts on listening to your body instead of following rigid rules, plus why tracking your cycle can be a game-changer for your health, training, and nutrition.

🚶 Finally, I chat about step counts and movement. If you've ever felt guilty for not hitting your daily step goal, this conversation will help you zoom out, focus on the bigger picture, and build a healthier mindset around movement.

Life’s too short….to feel s**t all the time! 💩

And I know this because I've been there.

But now that I am in my 40s- I feel the best I have ever felt. 💃

And the best thing is that now I get to help other people to feel the best they have felt too!

The SAINT Method is the framework by which I live my life and it successfully helped me become the happy, healthy, energetic person I am today. And on Monday 13 July, I am taking you behind the scenes of The SAINT Method so you can steal my framework for FREE!

You can sign up using the link in my bio or send me a DM and I will pass you the link.

Week 5 SAINT Method Q&A is now live🎙️

This week I cover:

💪 Weights vs. reps — should you lift heavier for fewer reps, or lighter for more? I break down what the evidence says, why I program most of my clients in that 8-12 rep range, and how to know when it's time to go up in weight.

📝 Food tracking fatigue — if you've been tracking for a few weeks and you're starting to feel it, this one's for you. Why tracking is a tool (not a life sentence), how to make it faster, and a slightly unconventional tip I gave a client recently — using AI to build a personalised meal plan from your calorie and protein targets.

Got a question you'd like answered in a future Q&A? Send it my way!

Not a running fan but I am a big supporter of the Auckland Trail Series and I have signed uo to do their mid course at Shakespear Regional Park next weekend...so thought I had better go for a practice run seeing as I haven't run for approx 1 year 😬
