Magnesium is my favourite and a superstar mineral & involved in over 300 enzyme responses in our body. Many of these responses impact our natural hormone balance. If you have seen me in clinic you know I love magnesium, especially for women in their 40s. During this significant time of hormonal change our bodies can really benefit from a regular dose of magnesium to support the hormonal changes and create more balance. Stress, alcohol and gut issues are the main culprits that cause magenisum depletion. But also our soils are quite depleted which makes it much harder to obtain enough from plant foods. Rich food sources of magnesium include dark chocolate dark green leafy veg such as spinach Pepitas, flaxseed, almonds, cashews & bananas If you feel like your hormones are all over...

Do you often feel bloated and tired? We’ve all experienced bloating at some point or maybe all the time. There are a number of reasons that can cause bloating and fatigue and I see it so often with clients for a range of different reasons. Its common but not normal to feel bloated. Its also important to consult a health professional to work out what is causing the problem rather than second guessing and eliminating foods that you think are causing the problem. So here are some common reasons for feeling this way, which are not always food related.

When it comes to beautiful skin its easy to focus on beauty from the outside in when its just as important to focus on beauty from the inside out. Your skin is not just a layer, its an organ and is an amazing indicator of what is going on inside your body - specifically your gut health. A lot of skin conditions from acne, dry skin to redness are a manifestation of our body’s internal needs, particularly nutritional ones. If our body is not getting the nutrients it needs or digesting food properly due to poor gut health, our skin wont receive the support it needs. Also if we are not detoxifying properly the skin will suffer. This can affect skin elasticity and collagen production resulting...
