Claire Leonard  Yes to all - although I would switch the balsamic to apple cider if you can x

Safe travels, and thank you for those tips - you will be fine and it will be great to be home x

Arlene Anderson I am so glad to hear that - I did it yesterday while I was filming in London and I knew that it would be quite a chilled day - and as you say, no kitchen or cooking to compete with x  

AmyAND YOU TOOOOOO XXXXX

Victoria Twiston-Davies Hi ya - The Retreat is one of the BIG 4 - so part of the annual membership I am afraid - The 12 week Metabolic Method is coming in May and that is for everyone xxx

Roshni Savjani that is so pretty and looks and sounds delicious x

Gabrielle Bibby sounds like some low-grade inflammation or wear and tear is building up, which is common around the hips, especially if you’re active. Keep the anti-inflammatory foods high, stay on top of magnesium, and consider an SPM or good quality omega 3, if you’re not already. Slow, controlled strength work (glutes, hamstrings, core) can help loads – maybe worth seeing a physio too, just to check movement patterns. x

@amy Yes – when you’re on antibiotics, it’s worth upping fermented foods (like sauerkraut, kimchi, kefir) and making sure you’re getting plenty of prebiotic fibre (think leeks, onions, oats, flax). A bit of bone broth can be great too – soothing and supportive. And go easy on sugar and alcohol while your gut rebalances. x

How did you get on? sometimes working and keeping busy is a great distraction x
