I feel honoured that the incredible @katiepiper_ interviewed me for her podcast last night in front of a live audience at the @meatlessfarm HQ in my hometown of Leeds. We discussed trauma, motherhood and eating more plants. It was part of a collaboration with @meatlessfarm whose delicious meatless burgers, sausages and mince are a family-favourite. Did you know that if you swap one more red meat-based meal to a plant-based alternative each week, it's the equivalent of taking 16 million cars off the road in a year? Please consider it... What a moving and inspiring evening. The podcast is out next week so please do give it a listen! #meatlessfarm #meatfreenottastefree #maketheswap #ad (at Leeds) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3ueT6ODPIh/?igshid=101nuangu4ifz

At a time when pressure is seeing many fast food joints pulling sugary drinks off their kids menu, Arby's has recently decided to PUT THEM BACK ON!? This is a complete disregard for children's health and for parents who could use the help in making healthier options easier! Like if you agree! @Arbys why did you move backwards when many other establishments like @dairyqueen @mcdonalds and @burgerking have moved forward by taking #soda off kids menus??? Do you not care about children's health and development?

Simply switching to whole grains has shown in a recent study to reduce 15000 cals avg a year without doing anything else! Thats 5lbs gone without much effort at all! Chose whole grain bread, cereal, pasta etc and voila! You are already making a step towards better health! Whole grains are not just for those needing to lose weight however! They offer vitaimins and minerals as apose to their bleached white counter part refined grains. So #maketheswap for better health! #healthyswaps #improvehealth #loseweight #whole30 #wholegrains #wholefoods #cleaneats #factoftheday #didyouknow #weightloss

Surround yourself with those who challenge you, motivate you, push you, and support your health goals! Taking my support team outdoors today to enjoy some of this gorgeous weather we've been blessed with! Hitting the trails, getting sunshine on your face and fresh air in your lungs is not only a great thing to do to get in some enjoyable exercise, but also to destress and feel relaxed! So make a healthy change, instead of the usual Sunday on the couch watching netflix...get up, get outdoors and get moving! ☉☉☉☉☉☉☉☉☉☉☉☉ #fitnessmotivation #sundaymorning #getmoving #furryfriends #hiking #walking #running #maketheswap #makeachange #frenchbulldogsofinstagram #mindbodysoul #sundaymotivation #fitnessbuddy #goals

It always seems impossible until it's done. Starting something new can be a scary thing, especially when having to make changes to old habits. But by easing into each goal, you'll be so proud, you'll feel great and in the end be surprised how much less difficult the process was for the acheivement and results you accomplished! I personally just finished my 5 day juice detox! However, I've felt so energized, my skin looks fab and I've lost fat (my tummy is much flatter) I'm going to continue with juicing but work in some raw and reg meals over the coming week! We can do anything we put our minds to. Make your efforts count and do something good for yourself! #goalsetter #goalbuster #nothingisimpossible #inspiration #fitnessinspiration #maketheswap #changeyourlife #nelsonmandela #quoteoftheday (at Naperville, Illinois)

Want a fun way to get in more fresh vegetable? Make zoodles! There are many types of gadgets out there to make this super easy dish and you can use anything from zucchini, sweet potatoes or carrots to make much more interesting meals. It's also a great way to add to salads and replace carb heavy pasta yet it has a very similar texture and is super satisfying! #maketheswap and try veggie zoodles for your next meal! 🍴🍴🍴🍴🍴🍴🍴🍴🍴🍴🍴🍴🍴🍴🍴🍴🍴🍴🍴🍴🍴🍴🍴🍴🍴🍴🍴🍴🍴 #zoodles #creativecooking #freshfood #healthyeatinghabits #recipeoftheday #healthyfood #maketheswap (at Naperville, Illinois)

Meaty grilled white-fish tacos topped with a crunchy cabbage and raddish slaw. Happy #tacotuesday - tacos don't have to be unhealthy and can be stuffed with tons of fresh veggies! I needed this very floridian meal tonight as I sit back in the freezing, windy weather of Illinois! Brrrrrrrrrr #fishtacos #healthyswaps #maketheswap 🌮🌮🌮🌮🌮🌮🌮🌮🌮🌮🌮🌮🌮🌮 (at Naperville, Illinois)
