✨ My absolute go-to breakfast!
Every Sunday we make a big batch (in individual containers) so they’re ready to grab and go each morning. It saves so much time and keeps breakfast nourishing and filling.

Here’s the recipe 👇 (save for later)

✨Overnight Oats ✨
• ½–1 cup oats (depending on your serving size)
• 1 scoop protein powder (I love cocoa flavour)
• ⅛ cup chia seeds
• 1 Tbsp LSA mix
• 1 tsp psyllium husks
• Handful of nuts & seeds
• 1 cup water (or ½ cup if using ½ cup oats)
• ½ cup milk of choice
• 1 Tbsp cacao (extra choc flavour – optional but yum!)
• Handful frozen berries
• Yoghurt to top (optional)

Method:
1. Combine all dry ingredients in a jar/bowl and stir.
2. Add water + milk, then stir again.
3. Refrigerate overnight.

💡 Tip: Make a few serves at once for quick, fuss-free breakfasts during the week!

🥩 Heme Iron & Why Red Meat Matters

Iron isn’t the only reason meat is a nutritional powerhouse! Heme iron (from animal sources) is absorbed 15–35% more efficiently than plant-based iron (5-10% on average), and meat also provides a range of key nutrients your body needs:

✨ Protein – complete amino acids for muscles, hormones & enzymes
✨ Vitamin B12 – essential for nerve health and red blood cell formation
✨ Zinc – supports immunity and metabolism
✨ Other B vitamins – energy production & brain function
✨ Creatine – boosts energy in muscles & brain
✨ Micronutrients in organ meats – vitamin A, copper, selenium

💛 Including a variety of heme iron foods, like red meat, poultry, and liver, can help support energy, blood health, and overall wellbeing.

🔹 Tip: Pair with some plant foods for fibre and additional vitamins & minerals!

✨ Re-introduction time! ✨

Hi, I’m Mel 👋 I’m a naturopath (BHSc) based in Kiama, specialising in gut health, women’s health, fertility, and postpartum care.

It’s been a little while since I’ve shared here, so I thought I’d reintroduce myself for anyone new. A few things about me:

• I’m passionate about helping women feel their best through food, lifestyle support, and functional testing when needed.

• I love supporting patients with gut health, hormones, stress, and all the little things that impact energy, mood, and sleep.

• Outside of clinic, I’m a mum, dog lover 🐶, and chai enthusiast ☕.

I’m taking on new patients at in Kiama. I’m excited to share more tips, case studies, and behind-the-scenes again here soon 💛

👉 I’d love to get to know you. Drop a comment and say hi!
