Pilates, Nutrition, Soft tissue therapy It's a fundamental aspect of life.

Our bodies are made to move, and every part of it, whether muscle, joint, organ, skin benefits from movement. Being active not only strengthens the bones and muscles but also reduces the risk of diseases, helps manage weight, decreases chronic pain, anxiety, depression, improves sleep and cognitive function, and makes you happier!

Another spine movement we often don’t give enough love to: side bending.

Our spine is not only bending forwards and backwards, but it can also move sideways. And just like extension, lateral flexion is something worth maintaining if we want a capable and adaptable body. It can also feel pretty damn good when your back is feeling tight.

You don’t have to be naturally flexible or particularly good at it. Your body adapts to what you regularly ask it to do. And as an added bonus, your obliques get some work too.

You might be surprised how far you can come when you give your body the opportunity to move, adapt and get stronger.

And remember: you have two sides. So don’t fall in love with just one. 😉

Back extension is probably not the movement most of us naturally gravitate towards. Flexion? We do that all day long. Curling forward, sitting, bending, looking down…

But extending your spine is just as much a part of having a capable, adaptable body.

And that brings me to Chicken Wings (copyright )

I’ve been working on these regularly, and it never ceases to amaze me what consistency can do.

The first time I tried to look at the wall behind me, I just laughed and shook my head. No chance.

Now I have a new target: the floor behind me.

No magic. No quick fix. Just consistent practice, gradually increasing range and teaching my body to move where it once didn’t want to go.

Don’t avoid the movement you’re uncomfortable with. Work on it. Start where you are. Be consistent. Give your body time to adapt.

Because sometimes the thing you think you can’t do is simply the thing you haven’t practised enough yet. 💪🏼🐓

“You started taking creatine matcha and you levelled up your results!!!”

Honestly?

Creatine isn’t the problem. It’s one of the most researched sports supplements we have, and there are legitimate reasons someone might choose to take it.

The marketing is.

When you sell a “health” product alongside an extremely lean, highly aesthetic body and imply that taking this product is what takes you to the next level — what exactly are we telling people?

That health looks like this?
That this physique comes from a scoop of powder?
That if we just take the right supplement, we’ll look like the model?

We know it doesn’t work like that.

Creatine can support muscle performance and adaptation. It doesn’t create a body shape.

We already have enough pressure around food, exercise and body image.

Wellness marketing should make people feel empowered — not inadequate.

Show me strength.
Show me performance.
Show me different bodies.
Show me what the product actually does.

Stop selling bodies as the outcome of health.

Do better. 🤍

Yesterday evening I came across a post from a physio and fellow Pilates teacher promoting a magnesium supplement. It reminded me of a trend in the health and fitness industry that’s been bothering me more and more.

I’m seeing increasing numbers of coaches, Pilates teachers, physios and fitness creators becoming supplement ambassadors.

That’s not automatically a problem.

The problem starts when education becomes marketing.

I regularly come across broad claims like:

• “More than 60% of people are deficient.”
• “This is the best absorbed form.”
• “This could be why you’re always tired.”
• “Only one sachet before bed…”
• “This solved my problem.”
• “I recommend this to everyone.”

Nutrition is rarely that simple.

A supplement may be useful for one person and unnecessary for another. The evidence depends on the nutrient, the dose, the formulation, the person’s diet, their health status and, in some cases, laboratory findings.

What concerns me most isn’t the supplement itself.

It’s the growing blur between genuine health advice and paid promotion.

If someone also earns money from the products they recommend (a paid partnership or ad is usually a good clue), it’s worth becoming a little more curious and asking a few more questions.

Ask:
• What’s the evidence?
• Is this recommendation individualised?
• Are they selling education or a product?
• Would they recommend the same thing without an affiliate commission?

Trust is something health professionals earn.

Let’s make sure we never turn that trust into a sales strategy.

Avocado: More than just a trendy toast topping 🥑

Avocados are one of nature’s richest sources of healthy unsaturated fats—and your body needs them.

Healthy fats support:
• Normal brain function
• Hormone production
• Absorption of fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E & K)
• Heart health by helping maintain healthy cholesterol levels
• The combination of healthy fats and fiber can help promote satiety

Avocados also provide:
🥑 Fiber for digestive health
🥑 Potassium (yes—even more than bananas!)
🥑 Folate and vitamin E
🥑 Powerful antioxidants

Research consistently shows that regularly including foods like avocados, nuts, seeds, and olive oil as part of a balanced diet is associated with better cardiovascular health.

But just because something is healthy doesn’t mean it’s unlimited.

Fat provides 9 kcal per gram—more than twice the calories of protein or carbohydrates (4 kcal/g). That doesn’t make fat “bad”; it simply means it’s the most energy-dense macronutrient.

Healthy fats are essential—they help your body absorb key nutrients, support brain and heart health, and contribute to satisfying meals. At the same time, because they’re energy-dense, enjoying them mindfully is part of a balanced approach to nutrition.

💚 A healthy diet isn’t about eliminating certain foods or following a strict meal plan. It’s about understanding the basics, making informed choices, and finding a balance you can maintain for life.
