Jayne is a nutritionist like a lot of likeminded views to myself with regards nutrition, health, the scales, fat loss and more. 

I loved this chat and felt like a conversation with a good friend even though we've never met before. 

Jayne has a no nonsense approach to nutrition and I can tell she has a lot of empathy for her clients and that she loves what she does. 

This is for anyone who wants to support themselves right now with no nonsense nutrition advice, understand the cycle and how to get in tune with it for training and performance, whether the contraceptive pill impacts performance and training and wants to hear some great mindset advice.
