Subscribe to free weekly(ish) Substack email newsletter all about simple, joyful, seasonal health and wellbeing.

The calming counterbalance to wellness noise you’ll actually enjoy reading.

It arrives once a week (or less). Completely unsponsored. And with the occasional cameo from a very muddy dog.

Most of us really don’t need more health advice. We’re often swamped with that already.

Instead, we need help filtering the useful, relevant insights from this sea of noise and contradiction. We need support to make it all, well, a little simpler (and a lot more enjoyable).

This newsletter is for you if you feel:

  • tired of endless health trends and “must-do” lists

  • confused by conflicting advice

  • frustrated by the sense that you should be doing more

  • a quiet nudge that there must be a simpler way

Why sign up?

A Little Simpler is a free Substack newsletter about health, written for people who care about their wellbeing - but are tired of being overwhelmed by it.

Instead, I write about health as it’s actually lived: in our full, imperfect lives, shaped by time pressures, responsibilities, relationships, seasons, joy and change.

What to expect:

  • SLOW: Unhurried health
    Practical, evidence-based ways to live well in real life. No rigid routines, no hype, no impossible ideals.

  • SEASONAL: Living in rhythm
    Gentle encouragement to eat, move and care for ourselves in step with the seasons. Remembering that we, too, are part of the natural world

  • SIMPLE: What really works

    Clear, distilled health thinking. The marketing noise stripped away. A return to the brilliant basics that really do the heavy lifting.

  • FOOD: From soil to supper
    Growing, cooking and simple recipes or meal ideas rooted in season, flavour and nourishment. Because good nutrition depends on good food.

  • JOY: Pleasure in healthy living
    A reminder that living well, for life, must leave room for joy, beauty, flavour and ease - not just strategy and self-discipline.

  • Exclusive insider insights

    I’m on a big mission to help make healthy simpler…and so there are lots of projects and fun things in the pipeline. This is the way to hear about them.
