    Low Sex Drive: What Your Libido Knows Before You Do

    BRING NO FORKING NONSENSE TO YOUR WORKPLACE: If you manage a team, work in HR, or run a business, you know your staff are constantly fighting afternoon energy slumps or falling for junk social media food fads. I'm opening up a few slots this quarter to bring No Forking Nonsense directly into your workplace with blunt, 45-minute virtual Lunch & Learns. No corporate sponsors, no product pitches. Just science-backed strategies to help your team feel human and stay sharp. To bring this to your company, email paul@thenutritionistuk.com -- 💡 STOP GUESSING YOUR LUNCH: Stood in the supermarket aisle with five minutes to spare? Grab Paul’s free Meal Deal Survival Guide and build a high-protein lunch that actually fills you up, in any UK shop, in under 30 seconds 👉 mealdeal.carrd.co --S.E.X. Nobody books an appointment about this. They mention it last, on the way out the door, usually with an apology attached. Which is a shame, because a sex drive that’s gone is one of the most useful bits of information your body gives you. It usually isn’t about your relationship. It’s a reading, and something further upstream is moving the needle. In this episode I discuss why libido is worth paying attention to, what tends to be behind it, and what actually shifts it: Why it’s a gauge, not the problem. What your body switches off first when it decides resources are short, and why sex drive is near the top of that list.The sleep link. The one that catches people out, because they’ve written off the tiredness as normal.Stress, and the state it leaves you in. Why “I’m just busy at the moment” has a physiology attached to it.Under-eating. The thing Paul sees most often and the one nobody suspects. Long-term dieting has a cost, and this is where it shows up.Alcohol. Honest, not preachy. What a normal week’s drinking is actually doing.Training. Why too little and far too much land in the same place.What to do about it. Where to start, in what order, and how long before you’d expect to notice.And when it isn’t nutrition. The point at which this becomes a GP conversation rather than a food one, and why that’s worth doing.__ Instagram: @paulthenutritionist

    Mounjaro: The Unspoken Trap of Weight Loss Jabs

    💡 STOP GUESSING YOUR LUNCH: Stood in the supermarket aisle with five minutes to spare? Grab my free Meal Deal Survival Guide and build a high-protein lunch that actually fills you up, in any UK shop, in under 30 seconds 👉 mealdeal.carrd.co You’re losing weight. You’re also losing muscle. And if you stop without a plan, the fat comes back. The muscle doesn’t. Around 1.6 million UK adults used a weight loss drug last year. Most bought them outside the NHS. The majority have never had a single conversation with a professional about what to eat while they’re on one. This isn’t an anti-jab episode. These drugs work, and for some people they’ve been life changing. But the prescription didn’t come with instructions, and there’s a second half to this story that nobody is telling you. I break down what’s actually happening to your body: The surprise demographic. Who is really taking these in the UK. The leading group isn’t who you’d guess. The muscle drain. How much of what you lose isn’t fat, and why the drug itself makes that harder to prevent. The one-year reality check. What the research found when they took the drug away and watched 308 people for twelve months. Tearing apart my own evidence. Why I’m going to pull holes in the study that supports my own argument. The two findings nobody reports together. What they mean for the body you actually end up with. What to do, starting with your next meal. The protein rule for when you’re not hungry, and the two sessions a week that decide everything. The question to answer before your first injection. Almost nobody does this. If it’s already gone back on. Why that isn’t a willpower failure, and what rebuilds first. Instagram: @paulthenutritionist

    Are ultra processed foods bad for you? UPFs, fact checked

    FREE MEAL DEAL HACKS/ SURVIVAL GUIDE HERE>>> https://mealdeal.carrd.co/Your wholemeal bread is an ultra processed food. So is most shop-bought hummus, a lot of baked beans, and nearly every protein bar in the country. If that sounds mad to you, that’s the problem with how this has been reported. UPFs have gone from a research classification nobody had heard of to the thing everyone’s frightened of, and somewhere in the middle a lot of nonsense got attached to it. So this week I go through what the evidence actually says, what it doesn’t, and where the headlines have run well ahead of the research. No scaremongering, no clean eating sermon, and no telling you to make your own bread. In this episode: What ultra processed actually means, and why the definition catches foods you’d never expectWhere the panic came from, and why the classification was never designed to do the job it’s being used forThe difference between “linked to” and “causes”, and why nearly every scary headline you’ve read relies on you not knowing itThe one study people quote constantly, what it genuinely showed, and what it didn’tWhy the processing probably isn’t the thing doing the damageThe foods on the list that are perfectly fine, and the ones genuinely worth cutting backWhat to actually do with your weekly shop on Monday morningInstagram: @paulthenutritionist.

    Is Diet Coke ACTUALLY bad for you? The “fridge cigarette”, answered.

    🍽️ FREE: My QUICK meal ideas guide → mealdeal.carrd.co I was quoted in Healf’s piece on this → healf.com/blogs/health-journal/is-diet-coke-bad-for-you If a can of Diet Coke a day is the worst thing in your diet, you’re doing brilliantly. TikTok has started calling it the “fridge cigarette” and the internet has done what the internet does. So this week I’m giving you the actual answer, and it’s probably not the one you’re expecting from a nutritionist. The sweetener isn’t the problem. Two other things are, and almost nobody talks about either of them. In this episode: Why a can of Diet Coke has more caffeine in it than a can of regular Coke, and why that catches people outThe study where caffeine six hours before bed wrecked people’s sleep and they didn’t even noticeThe one change that protects your teeth, which is about how you drink it rather than how muchWhat “possibly carcinogenic” actually means, and why pickled vegetables are in the same categoryHow many cans you’d have to drink every day to hit the actual safety limitWhy the studies linking diet drinks to poor health usually have the cause and the effect the wrong way roundWhat the WHO guidance really said, versus how it got reportedWhen swapping to Diet Coke is a genuine win, and the thing I’d rather you fixed firstInstagram: @paulthenutritionist.

Just raw, evidence-based nutrition cutting through the noise to tell you exactly what fasting does to your body, what it doesn't do, and who is lying to you for profit.

    Feeling flat? It's the time of year, and it isn't just you

    If you've felt flat for the last few weeks, there's a reason, and it isn't you being lazy. The end of September does this to people. It's technically still summer, so you feel like you should still be riding the highs, but the kids have gone back, the streets have gone quiet, everyone put the tools down in August and hasn't quite picked them up, and the only thing left on the calendar is Christmas, which is months off. No man's land. I see the same pattern in clients at this exact point every single year. So this one isn't really about food. Or not only about food. I'll also challenge the thing nearly everyone is about to do: get in shape for Christmas, let it all go over Christmas, start again in January. That's not a way to live, and you don't have to. In this episode: Why this stretch of the year flattens people, and why it catches you off guardThe "everythingness" list, and why writing all of it down is the first moveThe five minute rule that starts the engine when nothing feels doableOpen loops, why they wake you at 3am, and how to close themThe phone habit to stop tonight, and why it wrecks your whole day rather than just your sleepWhy I have no notifications on my phone at allLight, wind-down, and why your bedroom should be for two things onlyThe minimum standard for food: plan your dinners, and never walk into a supermarket blindWhy Wednesday evening is where good intentions die, and how to take that decision off your future selfWhere your attention is going, and who's currently in charge of itInstagram: @paulthenutritionist.
