Boycotting Tassie salmon but still want those good quality omegas? 🐟✨

Lately I’ve been alternating between barramundi, wild caught Alaskan sockeye, King George whiting, prawns, and the occasional tuna. We aim for fish twice a week or more as part of our anti-inflammatory Mediterranean style diet.

Swipe across to see my favourite tuna, packed in 100% pure olive oil and stored in glass, not plastic lined cans. 💛

One of my go-to meals, veggie packed fish cakes. They’re tasty, kid-friendly, and perfect for using up leftover veggies. 👇

Ingredients:
🥔 3 boiled potatoes
🧅 1/2 brown onion, chopped
🧄 1 clove garlic, crushed
🌶️ 1/4 red capsicum, finely diced
🥕 1 grated carrot
🍋 Zest of 1/2 lemon
🌿 Small handful of fresh parsley, chopped
🧂 Pinch of pepper
🥚 1 egg, to bind

Mix everything well with your hands and form into patties of any size you like.
Bake at 180°C for about 30 minutes, or until lightly golden.

Enjoy hot or cold, they’re an easy, nourishing meal to pop on a platter and a great way to clean out the fridge. 😍🙌

Feeling like your body’s in overdrive? 🌀 I’m seeing more and more clients walking into my clinic with symptoms that don’t make sense at first glance and often the driving factors? Histamine Intolerance and Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS).

🔍 These two conditions sometimes hide behind the scenes of what looks like hormones gone wild, anxiety, digestive chaos, brain fog, skin flares, mood swings… and the list goes on.

If you’re constantly wondering “Why am I feeling this?”, then this article I just published might be your missing puzzle-piece:

👉 https://www.longevitawellness.com.au/post/histamine-intolerance-mcas-symptoms

In the post you’ll find:
✅ What histamine really is and why it isn’t just about hay-fever.
✅ How mast cells those under-the-radar immune cells can go rogue and trigger way more than you’d expect.
✅ Why symptom patterns often fluctuate with hormones, stress, digestion and detox pathways.
✅ My naturopathic approach to addressing root-drivers (gut health, methylation, immune balance) rather than just masking symptoms.

🎯 If you’re nodding along — “Yep, that’s me” then let’s chat. As a naturopath, I specialise in uncovering these tricky underlying issues.
