Finally. An explanation for
what’s been going on.

Circadian nutrition for steadier energy, better sleep and calmer digestion. Small changes to what and when you eat, when you see daylight and how you sleep, built around your real day.

You’ve been told everything looks normal.

Maybe you’ve had the blood tests. Maybe you’ve seen your GP, or more than one specialist. Maybe you’ve cut things out, eaten “healthily”, done everything you were told.

And something still isn’t right.

The energy that drops off a cliff every afternoon. Waking at 3am and lying there. Bloating that builds as the day goes on. Cravings in the evening, brain fog, sleep that doesn’t feel like rest. Each one gets treated as a small, separate thing, or put down to age, stress or being busy.

You’re not imagining it. And there may be a thread that connects them.

Your body runs on a daily rhythm.

Almost every part of your body keeps time, from your brain to your gut. Those cloYour body clock helps shape when you feel alert, when you’re hungry, how steadily you handle food and when you’re ready for sleep. When these rhythms drift out of step, energy, sleep, digestion and blood sugar can all feel it.

I look at five things together:

Food: What you eat, and when. Proper meals built from real, nutrient-dense food, timed to support your body clock.

Daylight: The simplest signal your body clock has, and the one most of us miss, especially in an Irish winter.

Sleep: Regular rhythms, calmer evenings and nights that actually restore you.

Movement: Regular, enjoyable movement that supports circulation, muscle health, blood sugar regulation and mitochondrial (or cellular) function. Not punishing workouts, but movement that works with your body rather than against it.

Nervous system: Creating space for your body to shift out of constant ‘go’ mode and into rest, digestion and repair. Because how you recover matters just as much as what you do.

No calorie counting. No strict rules. Just a plan that fits your life.

You might be in the right place if…

  • You crash every afternoon and reach for coffee or something sweet to get through
  • You’re tired all day and wide awake at night
  • You wake in the early hours and can’t get back to sleep
  • Your bloods came back “normal” and you still don’t feel like yourself
  • Your digestion is unpredictable: bloating, discomfort or irregularity that nothing seems to settle
  • You’ve been told you’re pre-diabetic and want practical help alongside your GP’s care
  • You’ve fully stopped a GLP-1 medication and want to keep things steady now

What clients say

FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE I NO LONGER OVEREAT.

I’ve always struggled with overeating at mealtimes and snacking between meals, but after following Frances’s programme I am feeling hunger cues at the right times and actually feel full after eating a normal size meal. I’ve never felt that before, so I didn’t even know that was a thing!!

Emma – 1:1 Client

AFTER A MAJOR PERIOD OF STRESS, I SPENT THREE YEARS STUCK IN MEDICAL LIMBO, MAINLY WITH DIGESTIVE PROBLEMS.

 I saw six different doctors, took all the medications they prescribed, kept cutting more foods out of my diet, and tried six different eating plans. But my symptoms only got worse.
I also spent countless hours listening to podcasts about nutrition, stress management, and the foundations of good health.
Then I met Fran.
She struck me right away as a really good listener—non-judgmental, humble, and honest. She’s the ideal coach for me. She designed a personalised plan that was simple, clear, and easy to follow.

I NOW FEEL HOPEFUL AND CONFIDENT

We’ve now been working together for three months, and my symptoms have improved significantly. This plan gave me someone trustworthy to rely on, someone who genuinely wants the best for me.
The goals are simple—even if it takes me time to fully integrate them. But for the first time in years, I feel hopeful and confident about the future and my health. And I have so much more energy now, which is completely new for me.

Hello, I’m Frances.

I’m a qualified Nutrition and Lifestyle Advisor, trained at the Institute for Optimum Nutrition, and I’m currently completing my nutritional therapy qualification, with research on how light affects appetite. I live in the north-west of Ireland with my family, where we enjoy regular long walks and trail running.

I work online with a small number of clients at a time, alongside their GP’s care.
