Written by trish on April 1, 2023. Posted in Gut Health.

the perfect time to refocus on what’s important when it comes to our health and this month we’ll be really focusing on beating the belly bloat.
To get you started I’ve put together 5 simple tips to inspire and motivate you.
Tip 1: Drink plenty of water: Drinking water can help flush out excess salt and reduce bloating.

Tip 2: Reduce salt intake: Consuming too much salt can cause water retention and bloating, so try to reduce your intake.

Tip 3: Avoid carbonated drinks: Carbonated drinks can cause gas to build up in the stomach, leading to bloating.

Tip 4: Eat slowly and chew your food well: Eating too quickly and not chewing your food well can cause you to swallow air, leading to bloating.
Tip 5: Try probiotics: Probiotics can help improve gut health and reduce bloating. Here’s a link to one of my favourite products! https://trishtuckermay.com/product/superfoods-plus/
I hope these tips help you feel inspired and motivated to prioritise your wellness this month. Remember, small changes can lead to big results!

Could Time Restricted Eating Be The Answer to Improved Gut and Hormone Health?

Written by trish on February 20, 2023. Posted in Gut Health, Hormone Health.

Time-restricted eating, or TRE, is a type of intermittent fasting that involves eating only during a certain window of time each day.

Could it be the solution for your accidental weight gain and your gut health?

” Could Time Restricted Eating Be The Answer to Improved Gut and Hormone Health?”

While TRE isn’t a new concept, it’s been gaining traction as an effective weight-loss tool. I have been reading Gin Stephens’ Book Fast Feast Repeat and I am inspired.

Have you tried intermittent fasting?

Studies have found that time-restricted eating can lead to a significant reduction in body fat and waist circumference, as well as improved metabolic health markers like blood sugar and cholesterol levels.

Many clients are finding it an easy lifestyle to stick to. Ladies over 50 find it helpful in managing blood sugar and cravings

Why is time-restricted eating so effective for weight loss?

For starters, it limits the amount of time you have to eat each day, which can help reduce your overall calorie intake.

Additionally, TRE may also promote better eating habits by encouraging you to plan and prepare your meals in advance.

Finally, the act of fasting may also have an impact on weight loss.

Fasting triggers, the body to use stored fat for energy, which can help you burn calories more efficiently.

Fasting has also been linked to improved hormone balance, which can help regulate your appetite and reduce cravings.

Overall, time-restricted eating is a simple and effective way to lose weight.

But remember to pay attention to your body’s hunger cues and don’t overdo it.

Start off with shorter fasting windows and increase the time gradually as your body adjusts.

With a little bit of practice, you’ll be well on your way to a healthier, slimmer you!

If you are struggling with accidental weight gain and you think you might be in your perimenopause, please reach out to me for support.

I run an 8-week coaching programme to help get you started with TRE. This includes meal plans, recipes and accountability calls to help keep you on track and get you to your ideal weight.

What are the signs that you need a probiotic to support your gut?

Written by trish on February 7, 2023. Posted in Gut Health.

Probiotics are live microorganisms, typically bacteria, that are beneficial to the body’s digestive and are vital for a resilient immune system.

But how do you know if you need a probiotic?

Here are some signs that you may need to add a probiotic to your diet.

1. You’re having digestive issues. Gas, bloating, constipation, or diarrhoea, a probiotic may help improve your digestion.

2. You’re feeling fatigued. If you’re feeling more tired than usual, probiotics may be able to help.

3. You’re often sick. If you’re constantly getting sick and can’t seem to shake off the colds and flu, a probiotic may be able to help.

4. You’re taking antibiotics. They kill off both bad and good bacteria in the gut, so taking a probiotic can help replenish the good bacteria that’s been lost.

5. You’re under a lot of stress. Stress can have a major impact on your gut health, and probiotics may be able to help. Research shows that probiotics can help reduce stress-related gut symptoms such as abdominal pain and diarrhoea.

If you’re experiencing any of the above signs, let’s talk about adding a probiotic to your diet. Probiotics can be found in some foods such as yoghurt and kimchi, or you can take a probiotic supplement. Let me guide you to the best one for you.

Tips for Managing Cholesterol, Type 2 Diabetes and Hormones in Women Over 40

Written by trish on January 13, 2023. Posted in Gut Health, Hormone Health, Uncategorized.

Do have struggle with cholesterol, type 2 diabetes, and hormones?

As we age, our bodies go through a variety of changes.

For women over 40, these changes can include an increase in cholesterol, the development of type 2 diabetes, and changes in hormone levels.

Cholesterol is a type of fat found in the blood. It plays an important role in our body, helping build cells, produce hormones, and digest food. However, when too much cholesterol is present in the blood, it can lead to a greater risk of heart attack and stroke.

Women over 40 should have their cholesterol levels checked regularly and make lifestyle changes to help keep their levels in a healthy range.

Type 2 diabetes is a condition in which the body does not produce enough insulin or does not use insulin properly. It is most common in adults over 40 and is often linked to obesity, lack of physical activity, and poor diet.

Women over 40 should make lifestyle changes to reduce their risk of developing type 2 diabetes, such as eating a balanced diet and getting regular exercise.

Great news for anyone struggling with high cholesterol or blood sugar problems such as type 2 diabetes.

5 Ways to avoid the Christmas bloat

Written by trish on December 14, 2022. Posted in Gut Health.

Did you know that 80% of women will suffer worse bloating over Christmas?

Many women aren’t aware that there are some easy and quick ways to sail through this time and come out feeling better than ever.

Here are 7 simple steps to avoid belly bloat this Christmas

Hydrate with 2 litres of water every day but not while eating. Never eat and drink at the same time.
Avoid trigger foods especially processed wheat and sugar. That may seem like a silly thing to say with all the mince pies around. Could you choose gluten-free? Or make your own?
Chew your food well – slow down, sit down and just eat while eating – no watching or drinking at the same time as your meal.
Digest enzymes that Betain HCL can help immensely.
Add in fermented and cultured foods to build bacteria – kombucha, sauerkraut, and kimchi can help. They are easy to make. I have a video here
Take a few minutes to watch my latest video here where I talk about the burp test to test for low stomach acid
Don’t pile your plate too high – leave some room for digesting your food.

If you’re struggling with any of this and would like to talk to me privately, I offer a free 30-minute call where I can find out more about you and see how best I can help. Here is access to my diary so book a call here

The top 9 things you can do for your gut health

Written by trish on November 30, 2022. Posted in Gut Health.

Get enough sleep. If you’re finding sleep difficult, the solution could lie in your digestive tract. Irregular sleeping patterns have been linked to gut health.
Avoid late-night snacks. Allow your digestive system to rest and repair. You will sleep better too.
Eat slowly and chew your food well. The first phase of digestion happens in the mouth. Slow down and chew.
Stay hydrated.
Lower your stress levels. Chronic high levels of stress are hard on your whole body, especially your gut and hormones.
Reduce alcohol and sugar. Did you know that cravings for sugar and booze can be a clear sign that gut health needs help? You will also sleep better if you reduce these.

7. Take a prebiotic, probiotic and digestive enzymes. Superfoods is my No 1 choice and features in all of my gut healing programmes

8. Check for food intolerances – we can test 200 different foods to check if they are causing bloating and gas

9. Change your diet and eat more vegetables. Avoid too many processed foods.

Do you need help with any of these?

Get in touch. Sometimes you need extra guidance and accountability. That is where I can help you.

What Causes Belly Bloat?

Written by trish on November 15, 2022. Posted in Gut Health, Uncategorized.

Do you ever find yourself feeling more tired than you would expect?

That’s never fun.

Let’s address the simple causes.

The biggest culprits when it comes to gut health…

1. Eating too often and not spacing your meals. This doesnt allow for the clearance of bacteria in the small intestine.
2. Consuming too much refined sugar, wheat, alcohol, fizzy drinks, dairy

What happens when we ignore the gas, burping and bloating?
* BURNOUT – chronic tiredness will cause this eventually
* Weight gain
* Food allergies
* Anxiety depression, mood changes
* Belly bloat, IBS, or constipation

WHERE to start with your gut health

Written by trish on November 3, 2022. Posted in Gut Health, Uncategorized.

Healing your gut IS one of the most important jobs right now.

The benefits of having a healthy gut WILL be life changing.

If you find yourself suffering from constipation, bloating, diarrhea, IBS, eczema and psoriasis your gut is giving you a big GET HELP sign.

But where do you start?

Begin by assessing where you are on your health journey. Make a list of your symptoms. They may be whispers or shouts. Explore all areas of your health, nutrition, and well-being. When it comes to digestion, explore north to south—from the mouth to the colon.

Baselining is important before you begin to make any changes. It is easy to forget how much you have improved once you begin to make healthy changes in your life. Where are you currently in your health journey? Your body will whisper a long time before serious symptoms.

Any type of illness is the way for the body to indicate a new direction required. Your body is always on your side.

All illness or discomfort is a way for your body to get your attention and encourage you to embrace change.

In the 8-week Time To Nourish Programme we follow a simple four-step lifestyle and nutrition solution for better health

• Nourish by removing trigger foods and replace with nutrient rich food.
• Cleanse and reduce toxins and chemicals using gentle techniques to support the detox pathways and the main organs.
• Restore and rebalance by resting, relaxing and working on your mindset and emotional healing.
• Redesign your life to live a life you love, making time for self-care and rediscovering your passion and pleasure.
