“Put your hand up if you think fibre is just about going to the toilet.” Today I want to show you why fibre is actually one of the most powerful tools for weight loss, gut health, energy, mood, and long-term disease prevention — and how eating 30 different plants a week can transform your health.

“Motivation That Lasts: How to Keep Going When Willpower Wobbles” - Group Talk - Week Commencing February 2026.
Quick show of hands "Who here has ever felt motivated on Monday and totally over it by Thursday?” Motivation isn’t a personality trait. It’s a system. And systems can be built. “In one word, what usually kills motivation for you?” (tiredness, stress, boredom, slow results). Motivation doesn’t come before action. Action creates motivation, not the other way around. “Waiting to feel motivated before changing habits is like waiting to feel fit before exercising.” 3 types of moti

Healthy Habits for Weight Loss & Well-Being – Group Talk – Week Commencing 26th January 2026.
"Today isn’t about dieting perfectly or willpower. It’s about habits —the small things we do most days that quietly shape our weight, health, and how we feel.” “Have you ever started a plan strong… and then life happened?” Healthy habits work because they’re repeatable , not because they’re extreme. Habits Matter Why – *Weight loss isn’t just about food *It’s about daily patterns : How we eat How we move How we sleep How stressed we are “Think of habits like autopilot. When h

Why Tracking Calories Can Support Weight Loss and Overall Well-Being – Group Talk – Week Commencing 19th January 2026.
Introduction Today I want to talk about calorie tracking, not as a strict or obsessive tool, but as a way to build awareness, support weight loss, and improve overall well-being. Many people struggle with weight loss not because they lack effort, but because they lack clarity. Tracking calories gives us information, and information allows us to make better decisions. When used correctly, it can be empowering rather than restrictive. What Calories Are and Why They Matter A cal

New Year, New Focus—Not New Pressure - Group Talk - Week Commencing 5th January 2026.
This year is not about fixing yourself—it’s about supporting yourself. “At this time of year, we’re often told to start again, try harder, be better. But lasting weight loss and well-being don’t come from pressure—they come from mindset. Today we’re going to do three things: reflect without judgement, reframe without blame, and refocus without overwhelm.” Remember: No one failed last year Progress isn’t linear Mindset drives behaviour more than motivation REFLECT: Look Back W
