You may have seen from my social channels that I’ve recently launched four e-books on my website, and I couldn’t be happier at how they’ve turned out.
The e-books are the product of months of hard work, collating all the education I’ve amassed since I started Mission, including nutritional guidance, the impact of hormones on our lifestyle choices and energy levels, and habits we can include in our everyday routine to ensure optimum mindset.

Smoothies are a great way to cram a shed load of vitamins and nutrients into one meal and are the perfect breakfast substitute for those busy mornings. They're also ridiculously easy to make: it's usually just a case of whizzing everything together in a blender, and they typically take less than two minutes.

It's a fundamental concept in regulating body weight and as close to scientific facts as we can get, so why is the discourse around CICO so volatile?
Here, I attempt to unpack different arguments in the CICO saga, which should hopefully paint a picture that CICO isn't just black and white but a multifaceted, many-layered proposition.
