It’s the weekend!!! Don’t forget your gut needs nurturing and love every day from real food not just during the week 😊

🌱 WHY DO A CLEANSE? 🌱 As we emerge from Win

🌱 WHY DO A CLEANSE? 🌱

As we emerge from Winter and a very long ISO lifestyle you may be feeling tired and sluggish or even noticed changes in your skin and bowel movements. While detoxification occurs naturally in the body, overtime we are exposed to toxins such as regular alcohol, processed food, stress and not eating enough of the nutrients our body needs. Our liver can become congested leaving us looking and feeling sluggish. Our liver and organs need to be supported and nourished and a cleanse can allow a lightening of the load on the liver and support our body to do what its designed to do.

Signs your body may need a cleanse include

🌱 cravings for sweet food and alcohol
🌱 bad breath
🌱 dull skin and breakouts
🌱 candida
🌱 constipation
🌱 fatigue in the morning
🌱 bloating and heaviness
🌱 heavy periods

If this sounds like you my 10 Day Spring Cleanse includes foods that help support the liver, healthy gut function and elimination. The meals and resources I provide can help reset your dietary habits, as well as support your digestive health and eating habits. I prefer a gentle and nurturing approach to detoxing that is well supported through fresh wholefoods. That way, you body is not deprived but nourished.

Food either gives you energy or takes it away. Whi

Food either gives you energy or takes it away. While we have been in lockdown for nearly 6 months its been easy to make choices around food and drinks that may not have served our health or we may have lost touch with what food makes us feel good and gives us energy.

Ive always maintained our energy levels should be our benchmark for health not the number on the scale. Th number becomes less important when we know what food serves us and the weight will shift anyway as a result. I see this time and time again with clients who consistently eat well for a time and their clothes start to feel looser.

One of the reasons i created the 10 day Spring Cleanse is to give people a chance to tap into 10 days of eating real food and living well in a safe, supported and structured way.
I give you the framework to eat real food consistently and start including lifestyles practices so you can experience and feel more energy, vitality and happiness

If you are keen to join us there is more information via the link in my bio. We kick-off ‪in 14 days 🙌 🤸‍♀️ ‬

Are you enjoying the food in your diet right now?

Are you enjoying the food in your diet right now? Are you eating what you love or eating food you think you should be eating to reach a goal?

Food is meant to be enjoyed and feeling satiated is a pretty important part of eating well and feeling good. But so is feeling satisfied. Satisfaction is the mental sensation of satiety. When you dont feel satisfied, it often leads to looking for something else, something that is satisfying..hello chocolate or cake and then eating more until you are full.

Satisfaction is such an important part of intuitive eating. When you are satisfied you are more content and it’s easier to cultivate a better relationship with food.

It may take a bit of experimenting and practice to find and include more food in your diet that bring you pleasure and satisfaction, but once you have found your groove you no longer feel confused about food or look for rules and restrictive diets that don’t work.

Is this something you struggle with or do you need some guidance and making better choices? Please get in touch and let’s have a chat 😊

Tuna Veg Pasta Bake

This is a bit of a crowd pleaser in our house. It’s nothing special but maybe because there is pasta included which keeps everyone happy. I’m sure you know how to make this but just in case you don’t I’ve included a rough recipe below for you to save for one of those days 👇

I just cooked 1 onion and garlic, then added about 2-3 cups of chopped veg - capsicum, zucchini, mushrooms and kale with tomato paste and Passata, herbs - basil, oregano, thyme. Once cooked I added a large can of tuna and a touch of chilli. Add 2 cups of whatever cooked pasta you like and mix together in a baking dish. Sprinkle with Parmesan and bake for 20 mins 😊

One tool we do have at the moment to get us throug

One tool we do have at the moment to get us through this challenging time is our breath. Diagrammatic breathing is the most powerful way to get our body out of sympathetic nervous system dominance (fight or flight) and into our rest and digest where we feel calm
You cannot tell you body to get out of fight or flight, the only way you can influence it is through your breath.

I love this technique of breathing because you can do it anywhere, anytime and its incredibly helpful for a deeper sleep.

It only takes a few minutes out of your day to do this and yet it is so powerful for calming our mind, our body and balancing our hormones

The 4-7-8 breathing exercise is so simple. Although you can do the exercise in any position, make sure you are in a position where you can easily breathe down into your gut, rather than your chest.
Close your mouth and inhale quietly through your nose to a mental count of four.
Hold your breath for a count of seven
Exhale completely through your mouth, making a whoosh sound to a count of eight.
This is one breath. Now inhale again and repeat the cycle three more times for a total of four breaths.

Give it a go and notice how you feel 🧘‍♀️😇

Women’s Health week starts today and one area i

Women’s Health week starts today and one area i think is worth talking about is our hormones. If there is one thing that I think makes a huge difference to us women and our health journey, is understanding the cycle of our sex hormones. How they impact literally everything from our mood, energy, health and behaviour at every stage of our lives can be life changing. Understanding the difference between what is common and what is normal.

I wish I had known more about my hormones during my teens and 20s so I understood what was happening and how i could support myself more through diet and lifestyle.
If this is an area you would love to learn more about, I can recommend the brilliant book, The Period Repair Manual by Dr Lara Briden. It explains everything to do with the female hormone cycle right from starting your first period, things that can go wrong, natural treatments to the transition of menopause.

Once we have the knowledge of what is happening with our hormones, it can be empowering to be able to properly care for our bodies and support ourselves to feel our best and take charge of our health and happiness
