ActiveAte
Fun Interactive Educational Nutrition Programme
Fibro Active is starting a new and exciting nutritional programme starting in January 2021. It has been developed by two friendly and professional nutritionists (Sophie and Rachel)
Most importantly, the program has been created with you in mind.
The programme aims to empower and support those living with Fibromyalgia, and other related health conditions, to achieve healthier food habits and ultimately improve life quality.
The programme will also involve a number of interactive educational sessions, workshops, and the opportunity to have 1:1 coaching sessions.
We are also producing a recipe book, built by members, for members. If you have not yet submitted a recipe, please head over to our Facebook page to contribute!

What others have to say
“The book is a great reference point for healthy eating and I do make use of the eat well plate for percentage of food and the goal setting too.”
“The main benefit for me has been to evaluate my diet and make sure I am eating a balance of nutritious things.”
“I am able to manage peaks and troughs of energy better and anticipate energy drops before it happens and choosing a healthier option”
“I do enjoy the interaction with others and do find it very helpful to talk to everyone about our different experiences of our journeys and what we are all learning”
“I find it informative, interesting and it’s an enjoyable social gathering on zoom during lockdown.”
