For more than 15 years now, I have been helping individuals to better understand their body and show them how nutrition can have a real impact on their daily life. Going further I also collaborate with Corporation to either improve their nutrition strategy or develop the staff wellness.
If you are curious to know how I can support you in achieving your goal, let’s have a quick chat.
You know the drill. Some days, exercising feels like a total walk in the park. Other days, it feels like you’re trying to climb up a hefty mountain, barefoot with the mother of all storms blowing in your face.
The truth of the matter is that your body changes as a women over the course of your menstrual cycle and over the years — The key is to know you and to learn to adapt your training and nutrition to suit it.

Living in Italy – and now being partial to a sweet breakfast – I am forever coming up with options that give the Italian style of breakfast but more balanced than café e biscotti!
You will love this new firm favourite breakfast option.
Banana bread – made more balanced with the addition of quinoa which is rich in protein.
Total prep & baking time – about 1 hour
𝗜𝗻𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀
1 cup cooked quinoa (cooked and cooled )
3 ripe bananas mashed.
2 cups of flour (use almond flour to make it gluten free)
1 ½ tsp baking powder
½ tsp cinnamon
½ tsp nutmeg
2 eggs
100g sugar or 4 tbsp honey
½ cup of olive oil
¼ cup Greek yogurt
Topping – slices or banana or apple nuts or seeds
𝗠𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗱
1. Measure dry ingredients into a bowl and mix together.
2. In another bowl mix eggs, sugar/ honey, oil and Greek yogurt. Stir well.
3. Fold in the bananas
4. Mix in the dry ingredients.
5. Add in the quinoa.
6. Line a medium sized loaf
7. Add in the batter.
8. Top with topping of choice.
9. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 – 50 mins or until cooked.

Ohhhh carbs.
Personally my fave food group.
Professionally the food group that I have to do the most myth busting.
As women most of us like them ( …and crave them more at certain times of the month!) yet we are petrified of them as we are sold that low carb narrative in mainstream media.
Yes of course too many carbs ( ..or of anything for that matter ain’t a good thing). However the key particularly if you are a woman who is still in your reproductive years it is important that you do include some in your diet for optimal wellbeing. As with anything in nutrition, quality is key. If you want bespoke advice about quantities - speak to a dietitian or registered nutrition.
Happy carb including ladies.

I find these fact sheets so helpful Linia! Thank you 😊
Miss you Linia Patel! So great to see your awesome work xx
Hey, how are you?
How are you really?
We perhaps ask that question out of habit without waiting for the answer or even answering honestly.
Its mental health awareness week – and while I preach mostly about nutrition – my personal belief is that we are body mind and spirt. Optimal wellbeing is about nurturing and looking after all three parts.
This week, and every week – take time to look after all of 𝘆𝗼𝘂. Body, spirit and mind.
Take care.

Time and time nutritional surveys show women don’t eat enough protein. Protein is key for maintaining our muscle mass (super important for us ladies as we have less to start off with). We need to prioritise protecting our muscle and that’s why we need to eat enough.
