Coconut water has to be one of my favourite sources of hydration. It is loaded with electrolytes & minerals and tastes delicious... Especially after a good workout.🤤 But can too much of it cause more harm than good?


Coconut water is very high in potassium (as well as magnesium), which, in the right amounts is great! Potassium is an essential mineral that helps with blood sugar regulation, carbohydrate metabolism, cardiovascular health, maintaining healthy blood pressure & so much more. 🥥

Consuming an excessive amount of potassium however, may lower your blood pressure, cause an electrolyte imbalance, or even act as a laxative, resulting in vitamin & mineral loss!


Sometimes though, it`s all too easy to get caught up in a health trend and end up doing more harm than good ( we`ve all be there🙋🏼‍♀️)! It`s so important to remember though that everything in moderation, and balance is key! 😄 You don`t want to be increasing your coconut water intake to boost your electrolytes, when in reality you are shooting yourself in the foot as it is causing you to lose electrolytes.


Stick to no more than 500ml every other day and you`ll be fine.

What has helped me regain control of my health more than anything?

Testing my lab markers 3-4 times per year. 💯

It can be confusing to know where to start, which is why I`ve included some of the lab tests that I get each year from my doctor so that I know if my lifestyle is really working for me & to keep me feeling my best! This list is not exhaustive, but rather the markers that tell me a lot.


1️⃣ Vitamin D: Extremely important for healthy ageing, especially in relation to bone, muscle, immunity & even gut health. Deficiency is common, so it`s important to ensure you`re getting enough.

2️⃣ hCRP: This provides key insights into your inflammation levels. Make sure you ask for the `high sensitivity` test (hCRP) not just CRP.

3️⃣ Homocysteine: This gives indication to heart disease and stroke risks early on.

4️⃣ Hemoglobin A1c: Helps identify metabolic imbalances by identifying potential diabetes or blood sugar-related concerns.

5️⃣&6️⃣ Liver enzymes (AST and ALT): This shows sign of liver stress which can be indicated of deeper imbalances and lifestyle factors that may need to be examined.

7️⃣&8️⃣: Iron & Ferritin: Low iron or excess iron can be signs of underlying imbalances, and contribute to fatigue. Both iron and ferritin is essential to understand how well your body is using and storing iron.

Beyond these fundamentals, in a recent 🎙️ podcast episode, I spoke with GP Dr. Sam Manger about the most important tests to get in your 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s & beyond. Check it out on my website for more on Apple/Spotify: Healthy Her! ✨

Why is cooking then cooling our starchy carbs potentially healthier?
Resistant Starch - that’s why!
The process causes ‘retrogression’ binding the starchy molecules which makes it harder for the small intestine to digest (aka Resistant Starch). This means more starch for your gut bugs to ferment in the large intestine! Also great news for those trying to manage blood sugar as this releases the starchy molecules slower, preventing unwanted blood sugar spikes.

Optimising your health by eating and exercising for your Metabolic Body Type is a great way to fast track results!

Have you ever noticed how some people can wake up and inhale sausages, eggs and bacon for breakfast and feel great, whilst a meal like that would make others feel tired and sluggish? Or when you eat that really healthy salad sandwich for lunch, but an hour later you feel drained, tired and hungry?


The fact is that everyone is different, so understanding and eating according to your metabolic type (known as somatotype) can have a massive effect on your energy levels and overall health.


Clients who follow their Metabolic Body Type often have:

*improved energy levels
*effective weight management
*reduced bloating and *improved sleeping patterns
