In this Zoom workshop we will be discussing the obstacles which we, as humans, create in the often sensitive area of ‘eating habits’.
The body has an incredible interplay of appetite hormones, neuropeptides and stretch receptors which theoretically should tell us when to start and to stop eating. However, our emotions can easily over-ride these physical messaging systems leading to over-eating, consuming highly palatable (rich in fats and sugar) foods in search of a dopamine hit or constant snacking. Such consistent habits can then lead to a resistance to change.
For the first hour of our webinar, we will be talking through commonly asked questions such as:
Why do I crave certain food?
Is food addictive?
Can I learn to curb a craving?
How can I learn to love eating a healthy diet?
At this online event, we will be discussing the different types of fasts, how to conduct a fast safely, when not to fast (it’s not safe for everyone) and if you are tempted to combine health with a holiday I’ll be talking through the health retreat @amcharahealth ( locations both in the U.K. and Gozo - Malta ) in which it is very easy to fast as all temptations and stressors of modern life are removed.
I am very keen to give practical fasting tools, so we will talk through how to go about a low calorie but still delicious and nutritious fast for 7 days. I will be creating a FASTING FACEBOOK group for participants. To ease the process, we have the option of using Medium Chain Triglycerides for extra energy.
Why come along? Learn about fasting and join the ‘health is wealth’ conversation.

A zoom webinar detailing a real life pituitary journey.
'Pituitary disorders are considered rare. It is estimated that there are around 70,000 pituitary patients in the United Kingdom.
However, misdiagnosis is a common problem and some reports suggest that many more people could have undiagnosed pituitary issues'. I'm quoting from the Pituitary Foundation who supported me well throughout my journey.
In 2010, I was diagnosed with a pituitary adenoma; a benign growth on the pituitary gland. The pituitary gland is small and oval-shaped. It’s located behind your nose, near the underside of your brain.
‘Benign’ is a comforting word, but still, this tumour was nudging up alongside my optic nerve and at one point my neurosurgeon pointed out that I could ‘wake up blind any day’. So although ‘benign’ is comforting, a tumour can grow and the news becomes less comforting when the loss of sight is a potential threat.
It was an alarming time. And because of this I would like to bring to the forefront of our minds for an hour on a dark November evening, this important gland and the reasons why we should keep on top of our health concerns.
In this webinar we will discuss:
What does the pituitary do?
What are the signs of malfunction?
Nutritional support
There are many types of pituitary malfunction. In this webinar I'll be talking through 'hypo-pituitary function' and discussing in what ways nutrition can be useful when suffering from a benign pituitary tumour. We'll be talking through stress resilience, blood sugar fluctuation and energy dips.
Who is this webinar useful for?
Everyone - we should all know about this master gland, its what steers the ship!
Nutrition students and newly qualified nutritionists - aim to be pituitary and endocrine aware
Pituitary warriors - those with pituitary issues may well enjoy hearing about a positive pituitary journey
I will be talking in 'general public' layman's terms so nothing too technical. The purpose is to raise awareness so we all have better understanding of our health.
Join me to explore this incredible topic.
The zoom link will be emailed to you on booking.
£2 from each ticket will be donated to the Pituitary Foundation

Tickets at Talk + Taste with Belle Amatt (Pod 4) | ACU.E8 (acue8.com)
I’m hosting a 1.5 hour session on the GUT as part of this wonderful 2 day event. ACU.E8 presents this weekend of wellness to help you reconnect with your community and yourself through a series of talks, mindful crafting and holistic treatments to enliven and revive your mental and physical health.
The power of connecting with others and laughing, talking, sharing is so important. This weekend encourages you to build a small pocket of self-care for yourself over the weekend and then set the intention to take the practice forward.
My nutrition session:
This talk will be a celebration of tastes and recipes that are accessible and easy to make but are gut-friendly and tailored towards optimal health. The event will cover the basics of the gut microbiome, making the gut work for optimal health and longevity, eating to aid a happy gut and boost mood. There will also be help on how to prepare quick meals that are packed with nutrients, basics of prebiotic foods and how to access testing if the gut has gone into a period of dysbiosis (where the gut bacteria has become imbalanced). And some delicious tastes pre-prepared to try. including ideas on how to use seaweed regularly in your food plan and the wonders of kefir.
I will be combining my nutritional science background with a creative flare for food to bring sound nutritional knowledge in this workshop alongside accessible recipes that can be taken forward to create healthier eating habits for the future - these will be available after the talk via my blog.
The Longevity Kitchen is a celebration of areas of the world in which inhabitants live well into their later years.
This pop up event serves up a 3 course plant-based meal bursting with nutrients. The event is not only about delicious food but also other aspects of life which keep us healthy community, solidarity and village life.
We have room for 20 guests.
As this is all about community you may find yourself on a table with other village folk. This event is about making social connections while discovering the types food eaten in 'Longevity Hot Spots' of the world.
With over 10 years of Nutritional experience, local Nutrition Consultant Belle Amatt will be talking us through the menu and Tanya Scorer, creator of amazing food will be orchestrating the menu. The food is 'plant-based' (entirely meat free), so come prepared for a feast based on plants, but containing dairy and gluten, in keeping with the traditional way of eating found in the Blue Zones (Longevity Hot Spots) of the world.
(note, we can accommodate foodie preferences but will need notice).
Tickets available at Event – Hurst Festival
In this Zoom webinar - we follow the case of RUTH a 40 something client who presents to my nutrition clinic with IBS-C (constipation) symptoms and muscular aches and pains which are becoming problematic in her day to day life. Learn how by using a Functional Test such as the GI Effects test by Genova Diagnostics we are able to get a clear picture of how a disordered microbiome can drive muscular inflammation.
Its a great time of year to consider making a plan for how to bring some healthier habits into your life and to cast aside some old ones. Best to make a plan first. Join me to consider how to put this plan together in order to strive for long term change.

In this webinar we discuss Holly (name changed for confidentiality). Holly is a 9-year-old identical twin who after becoming very unwell in September 2019 with extreme lethargy and low mood then develops guttate psoriasis. What dietary changes could help her symptoms? Is there a link between the gut microbiome and the onset or exacerbating of the psoriasis condition? These questions and more will be discussed in this research based webinar. An informative hour and 15 mins for students of nutrition, newly qualified nutritionists with an interest in the skin and those suffering from psoriasis who don’t mind some technical lingo!
As part of Hurst Virtual Festival, on the 22nd Sept it is curry night. We will be using aubergine as our principle ingredient to try our hand at creating a Southern Indian baked aubergine dish which sits perfectly alongside a zingy salad, chapati and a side dish of spiced roasted chickpeas.
