All being well I’m still away, nestled into the Welsh countryside and without wi-fi. Hopefully we’re surviving and the kids are busy cooking dinner as planned …. This is another recipe that’s easy for ten years and up, although I’m always keen to he...

Two weeks ago I promised myself I would write three columns ahead of time so I could switch off on holiday. Fast forward to this moment … it’s the night before we fly, I’ve a full clinic of clients in the morning, I haven’t packed a thing (not even ...

I love the Bermuda summer, despite the humidity hair and burning my backside on the car seats. Having grown up in the UK, there is something about the warm sun hitting your skin that just feels amazing – especially if there is a little breeze to coo...

Since she was tiny, Chloe’s favourite fruit has been watermelon. These days she calls it water-malone in a silly voice. I have no idea why, but it’s subconsciously rubbed off and now I call it that too. It’s confusing when I’m in clinic, where I mu...

LCS, one of the most common problems I encounter in clinic and a serious obstacle when it comes to healthy outcomes. It’s not in the medical dictionary because I completely made it up. Layer of Crap Syndrome is suffered by people who eat an otherwis...

You know it’s been a busy work-from-home day when you find your morning cup of tea in the microwave at 9pm. That was the second time I had reheated it too! Ah well, I do find that the less caffeine the better. I generally keep it low because caffein...
