This easy recipe is good for anyone who needs a gluten free, dairy free, vegan or vegetarian diet. Chickpea flour is sometimes sold as besan flour.

Mediterranean Chickpea Frittata 🍅🫒
Serves 2

Ingredients

¾ cup chickpea flour
¼ teaspoon baking powder
¾ cup water
¾–1 cup diced tomato
1 loosely packed cup chopped baby spinach
¼ cup sliced Kalamata olives
¼ cup loosely packed chopped basil (plus extra for garnish)
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 cup sliced avocado

Method
In a large bowl, whisk together the chickpea flour, baking powder and water until smooth. Add the tomatoes, spinach, olives, and basil and mix well.

Heat the oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Add the mixture, cover, and cook for eight to 10 minutes until the bottom is golden.

Cover the pan with a large upside-down plate, place your hand on it, and quickly turn the frittata over on the plate before gently sliding it back onto the pan. Cook for an additional five to eight minutes until fully cooked.

Top with sliced avocado and garnish with basil, if desired. Enjoy!

GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) is the hormone behind the buzz around Ozempic and Wegovy. It helps you feel full, slows digestion and supports stable blood sugar.

Effective, yes, but common side effects include nausea, reflux, constipation, muscle loss, gallbladder issues, and pancreatitis.

Did you know your body already makes GLP-1??

Beneficial gut bacteria such as Akkermansia muciniphila and Faecalibacterium prausnitzii help stimulate its release by producing short-chain fatty acids like butyrate, which signal the gut to increase GLP-1 naturally!!

Diets high in refined starches and simple sugars can reduce these microbes, creating dysbiosis and disrupting metabolic signalling.

Unfavourable microbial imbalances may even make your body extract double the amount of calories from food!

Please book in for an appointment if you want to support your metabolism, naturally!

Don't rely on labels!

Some meat sold as “grass-fed” is grain-finished before slaughter.

Ask your butcher whether meat is 100% grass-fed and finished, as choosing better quality makes a meaningful difference to your health.

If the kids (or you!) struggle with eating fruit and veggies, try presenting them in a different way.

A big crunchy apple might seem a bit too much for little kids, but star shapes can be fun and manageable. 🍏⭐️

What about these cute watermelon fries with coconut yoghurt dipping sauce? Swirl through some frozen organic raspberries for extra interest. 🍉

Did you know that our calcium absorption for healthy bones relies on good digestion?

Support it with mindful eating, bitter herbs or foods, and enzymes if needed.

Stress reduces digestive secretions and raises acidity.

An acidic system pulls calcium from bones to buffer pH.

A calm, alkaline body with healthy digestion gives bones what they need to stay strong.

🍗🥚TIP OF THE WEEK!

Chicken and eggs are often our 'dirtiest' proteins.

Poultry readily accumulates antibiotics, pesticides and environmental toxins from grain-based feeds, making organic chicken and eggs a necessity, especially when eaten regularly.

Experience the tranquility of a dedicated sauna room (instead of a busy sauna centre!) and drift away while you listen to your favourite relaxation music, podcast, meditation, or movie.

Whether you are seeking pain relief, sleep support, weight management, detoxification, training recovery support or wellbeing and calm, the sauna session is customised to your needs with recommendations on temperature, time, light therapy colours, and things to do before and after your session.

State of the art advanced technology, the full spectrum rays may boost mitochondrial energy cells in a superior way to the more basic far infrared saunas that don't contain near or mid infrared rays.

Unlike traditional steam saunas that heat the air around you, infrared warms from within, hence it is calming and comfortable to experience even in warmer weather!

Sexual Health Screening now available!

Whether you have a new partner or are thinking about trying for a baby, sexual health screening is a smart box to tick.

Many sexually transmitted infections have no symptoms, yet they can quietly affect reproductive, urinary, or prostate health, as well as fertility and pregnancy outcomes.

The NutriPATH Sexual Health Profile Test is an affordable spot urine home collection test that screens for over a dozen organisms, including chlamydia, gonorrhoea, mycoplasma, ureaplasma, trichomonas, and viruses such as HSV-1, HSV-2 and CMV.

In many cases, this panel is more comprehensive than standard GP sexual health screening. Both partners should be tested, even if you feel well. If results are negative, I can email them through. If anything is detected, a consult is required for duty of care.

Important note: if you have visible sores, ulcers, or lesions, these should be examined and swabbed by a GP as some viruses may not be detected in urine if they are not active or shedding at the time of testing. Urine testing remains reliable for detecting bacterial infections at all times.

You can purchase this test here: https://tinyurl.com/BIBSEXSCREENING

Did you know?

Gluten can be common trigger for vertigo because it can increase gut inflammation and histamine release.

This is why many people notice vertigo and foggy thinking improve when gluten is strictly removed, not because the “crystals move back,” but because inflammation settles.

If you need any support with this, book in for an appointment!

TIP OF THE WEEK!

🥩 Choose the best quality meat you can find.

Meat quality matters because how an animal is raised directly affects the nutrients and inflammatory signals in the food you eat.

Animals fed their natural diet produce meat that better supports gut health, hormone balance, metabolic and immune function.

Grain-fed animals are commonly fed wheat and other grains.

These diets promote inflammation in the animal and shift the fatty acid profile of the meat toward higher omega-6 fats and lower omega-3s, which can quietly drive inflammation in the body.
