Need to drink more, but you’re already feeling watered out 🚰?

You’re not alone when you get to the end of the day and your drink/emotional water bottle is still full… guilty over here too 🙋🏻‍♀️

Sometimes water just doesn’t cut it, so that’s when I use electrolytes to create taste AND help with restoring mild hydration status.

The trick? Use half the dose so the concentration of minerals and salts is diluted.

The recommended amount is needed when you’re exercising intensively, are a heavy sweater or experienced severe dehydration (eg. Heat exposure or gastro episodes) which is NOT appropriate for your average punter.

Plus - it gives water a little flavour kick with minimal sugar, and there’s a heap of flavours to choose. Win - Win in my opinion. 😉

2025 gave us a LOT of wellness trends, some actually helped us feel calmer, healthier and more connected… and some were just noise 🌪️

✔️ From nervous-system regulation becoming everyday self-care
✔️ gentle shift to eating fewer ultra-processed foods
✔️ and a joyful return to running (or walking) in a community-connected space

But not everything stuck. Digital wellbeing apps and wearables offered tools, but too much tracking started to feel heavy. And those extreme morning routines? Not realistic (or necessary) for most of us.

And 2026? Here’s what I hope will prove truly helpful ✨
• Less obsession + More real life wellness.

Things like:
• 🧠 Nervous system care baked into everyday life
• 🍽️ A steady focus on simple, unfussy nourishing meals
• 🏃‍♀️ Movement for joy, not punishment
• 🧍‍♀️ More weight-inclusive, compassionate health conversations
• 🤝 Supportive, community-based health care

Because the trends that last aren’t extreme- they’re sustainable, human and kind ❤️

Have you met Emma?

She's our Sports Dietitian with a heart for balance, strength & real-life nourishment. This lady walks the talk!

Emma brings over 10 years of experience working with women and athletes across all life stages — from weekend warriors to high-performance competitors. When she's not here at TNC, she's monitoring the nutrition of Carlton's Football teams (both men and women's teams).

What do we love most about Emma?

Her ability to translate sports nutrition into something that feels achievable, supportive and human. She understands life is busy and finding consistency is hard yet she'll challenge you to become your best and offer 1000 times more support than you can every imagine.

She's the one you want in your corner if you are seeking more energy, a competitive edge or clarity in your eating WITHOUT the pressure of perfection or “all-or-nothing” thinking.

Whether you're returning to exercise, training for an event or wanting to feel stronger in your daily routine, Emma will meet you exactly where you’re at.

We’re so lucky to have her in the circle 💛

100 cal doesn’t make a food healthy.

I listened to the radio the other day in complete bewilderment when a producer flippantly named a new product “healthy“ because it only had 70 cal per serve. It was a bag of chips.

This post isn’t about targeting particular foods and whether they’re good for you or not (you know that ain’t not my jam!) but rather how a simplistic message of THIS = HEALTHY is wrong and dangerous.

When you start to view foods in a ‘less than’ way it completely devalues what food provides both nutritionally and emotionally and it sets up a pretty fragile relationship with yourself and with food.

Then it becomes a competition - can I go with less? How little can I eat? It’s a slippery slope from here….

Disordered food and dieting thoughts don’t have to plague you all day, and it is possible to heal from this way of thinking when you seek the right help and support from an eating disorder professional.

Feeding kids is a LOT. 😮‍💨

The mess (!!), the ‘yuk’, the running off every 4 secs between mouthfuls.

Not to mention the angst we as parents carry of “but they didn’t eat enough [said vegetable/meat].”

Something that’s helped me as a mum is the guidance of:

🧑‍🧑‍🧒 Parents decide (what to serve)
👶🏻 Kids decide (how much they eat)

I also serve everything at the same time to reduce the novelty of the sweet/dessert aspect & allow my kids to self regulate their tastes and appetite - hence a chocolate biscuit between zucchini slice and noodle stir fry!

Claire is speaking on Monday 17th November on fussy eating.

Spots are limited, bookings essential to learn about super practical tips to help you and your family eat with confidence.

🌿 Meet Claire | ✨ Fertility, Pregnancy & Early Life Nutrition

You couldn't meet a more dedicated dietitian with a passion for supporting women through the early chapters of motherhood - from preconception and pregnancy to postpartum and introducing solids to a new bub.

She's a data lady and will deliver the details of your nutrition profile in a way that's digestible and practical, and if she doesn't know something - she'll find out!

Claire brings warmth, empathy and real-life understanding to every session. She loves helping women feel confident in nourishing both themselves and their little ones, while also supporting those navigating gut health challenges.

Her philosophy is simple: every woman and every story is unique - and so is her care. 💫

Probiotics - do they make a difference?!?

Here’s the protocol I use in practice and with clients (noting a deep dive into your symptoms and situation is always needed first before taking these).

And although I haven’t mentioned a prebiotic here - there’s a few newbies that were trying atm so stay tuned!

*this is not a paid promotion - I genuinely like and have seen results with this brand.
