For some people, COVID-19 causes symptoms that last way beyond the initial infection. In fact, this post COVID-19 syndrome, or to use its nickname 'long COVID', can last months and possibly even years (only time will tell) after the initial infection. Although nutrition is not a cure, finding nutritional strategies to support long COVID symptoms can help to alleviate some of the long-lasting effects. We asked Jenny, the Lunchbox Doctor, how nutrition can support those of us w

If we weren't excited enough to be partnering with Jenny, the Lunchbox Doctor, we now have TWO astonishingly brilliant nutritionists in our Beingwell family. Welcome Daniel O'Shaughnessy, the Naked Nutritionist! Daniel is an award-winning BANT registered nutritionist and author, who just so happens to be a certified functional medicine practitioner (that's super rare in the UK), and Dad to the most adorable Dachshund sausage dog! FYI, Daniel isn't naked in his intro vid (sorr

We have become a looks-based society, that’s for sure. We only have to scroll through our social media, watch TV, or glance through magazines to feel that beauty is judged from the outside and not from the inside. Although as we get older we may become more disparaging of this concept, we might also be trying our hardest to keep age at bay and find ourselves struggling to stay youthful in appearance. We’ve all heard of the middle-age spread but did you know that the term appl

Beingwell are over-the-moon, watermelon sugar high, OTT, excited to be working with nutrition expert Jenny Tschiesche. You might have seen Jenny on the telly, heard her on the radio, or bought one of her cookery books. Known as the Lunchbox Doctor, Jenny is a BANT registered nutritionist, best-selling author, and nutrition workshop facilitator. But enough from us, we'll leave it to Jenny to tell us more: "Jenny has been delivering nutrition workshops with SportsAid athletes a

What’s for dinner? Those three little words are laden with more importance than simply arguing with the kids, our partners, or even ourselves. Our planet is warming, the seas are rising, Arctic permafrost is disappearing, deserts are expanding, and biodiversity is woefully withering. Frankly, it’s terrifying! A report by the UK government wants to introduce taxes on salt and sugar and have the NHS prescribe vegetables. The little daily decisions we make about what deliciousn

Who doesn’t love a cheese board? Or a quintessentially British Ploughman’s lunch? Gooey melted mozzarella on pizza? A thick wedge of mature cheddar and pickle sandwich? What about a glass of milk and a chocolate digestive? Dairy can feature heavily in our diets but is it actually bad for us? Should we be jumping on the nut-milk bandwagon, shunning all forms of dairy, and having a drizzle of olive oil on our toast instead of a pat of butter (some may consider that suggestion s

We all know how eating well with well-balanced meals is important for our general health and wellbeing. We don’t need to be told how beneficial leafy green vegetables are for us. However, we might not know about the beneficial properties of some nutrients that have a positive effect on our brainpower. In fact, our brain is directly linked to our guts so that the nutrients that are processed in our stomach and intestine have a direct effect on our neural activity, thus impacti

Happy picnicking! How to pack a Yogi worthy picnic in celebration of National Picnic Month.

Holiday, friend’s wedding, looming work presentation. By X date I will reach my goal weight.

One of the reasons we can feel like we’re failing when it comes to healthy eating is because...

Our bodies are incredibly complex and amazing organisms that need lots of different nutrients to thrive.
