Hello 🙂 My name is Charlotte. I am a Nutritional Therapist and a Workplace Nutritionist.
I helped many people to improve their daily food choices and as a result their health. What I have noticed though is that most of us know that we should be eating better but not many of us actually do it well. Instead we end up feeling fed up with the way we look and feel. Most people get a wake up call only when they start feeling unwell.
There are common obstacles that stop us from eating better: convenience, time and work culture. Yes, work culture. Only by tackling these three obstacles together you can make your workplace a healthier place.
I am very excited to welcome you to our NEW online challenge Food as your Fuel that can help you create a Healthier team and healthier workplace. I am confident that it has so much to offer you and in the end you will be able to look differently at the food choices you make every day.
This challenge will help you:
- To increase your energy levels,
- Make you feel less tiredÂ
- Accomplish more in a day
- Prevent burnout
- Prevent afternoon slump
- Improve memory and cognition
- Add brain snacks to your diet
We have designed this challenge in a way that makes it interactive and educational. There will be some practical exercises for you to do along with me. I will share with you critical information on the science of food (something we did not learn in school) and we will look at your day-to-day food choices. I will explain how by making slight changes to your diet you can reach great results.
What will I need from you? Enthusiasm and commitment. Ideally get a buddy or a group of people to do it together!

What do you drink throughout the day?
How do your drink choices influence both your physical and mental energy?
How to check your level of hydration?
- Try this skin test. First, use two fingers to grab a roll of skin on the back of your hand (between where your watch sits and where your fingers start), advises Higgins. Pull the skin up about ½ to one centimetre high and then let the skin go. The skin should spring back to its normal position in less than a couple of seconds. Higgins says that if the skin bounces back slowly, you might be dehydrated.
This video will help to answer your questions.
Water requirements depend on the individual, as well as factors like temperature, exposure to air conditioning and physical activity.
Increasing your water intake throughout the day can help to keep you hydrated and your brain to function well.Try cutting down on your caffeine intake (including energy drinks) and switching to herbal teas instead.
Choose green tea for focus (contains caffeine) as well as calm (contains l-theanine), peppermint or ginger for digestion and fresh lemon for a refreshing drink. -
