One of my professional interests in the area of Lifestyle Medicine is the gut- organ axes. What you see in this picture is a bowl of vermicelli noodles with heaps of mushrooms, cucumbers and carrots with a side of seaweed soup. 🍜

Speaking of the gut- organ axes, did you know that what we consume can affect our skin which is the biggest organ in the human body. And this is called the gut- skin axis. Seaweed positively influences this connection by by providing antioxidants, supporting collagen production, and offering hydration through its rich mineral and omega-3 fatty acid content.🌿

If you know me well, you know potatoes and yoghurt are the two loves of my life 🥔So when my mum made sambar with a side of okra & eggplant masala with potatoes, you know I had to take a picture!

This plate is such a simple example of healthy, culturally- relevant and sustainable eating using the 1/4 – 1/4 – 1/2 plate concept:
🍚 1/4 basmati rice
🫘 1/4 lentils + yogurt (protein + probiotics!)
🥬 1/2 vegetables (moringa leaves in the sambar, okra & eggplant)

Paired with toasted sourdough bread, my gut microbiome was dancing with joy from a delicious combo enriched with pre + probiotics 😋

Hello everyone, I took a break from posting on social media to realign my priorities and goals. So, I am sharing my first post for 2026, showcasing two things that I love: food and my Cocoa boy. 🐾🤎

Cocoa boy was my food critic for this colourful pasta dish that I cooked packed with fibre and plant polyphenols from tomatoes, baby spinach and mushrooms 🍅🥬🍄And it looks like it's Cocoa- approved!

I have missed writing posts like this. Stay tuned for more delicious healthy dishes that hopefully inspires you because healthful eating does not have to be restrictive!

Insulin resistance often develops quietly but can impact weight, energy, and blood sugar. Early lifestyle measures help prevent progression:
- Balanced, fiber-rich meals
- Regular physical activity
- Adequate sleep and stress management

Your daily habits can reset metabolic health before medication is needed.

Menopause brings hormonal changes that can affect sleep, metabolism, and mood🌿

Lifestyle strategies can help:
- Regular resistance training and aerobic activity
- Balanced diet rich in phytoestrogens, fiber, and healthy fats
- Mindfulness or yoga to manage stress

Small daily habits make a big difference during this transition.

Osteoarthritis isn’t a reason to stop moving — in fact, movement protects joints! 🦵
Regular low-impact exercises like walking, swimming, or cycling:
- Maintain cartilage health
- Improve joint mobility
- Reduce pain and stiffness

Gentle, consistent activity is medicine for your joints.

Wrapping up 2025 with our final . 🚶‍♀️🌿

Movement isn’t just exercise — it reduces stress hormones, improves insulin sensitivity, and supports mental wellbeing. Thank you to everyone who walked with us this year — here’s to more steps, health, and balance in 2026!

⚡ Your mitochondria are the “powerhouses” of your cells — but they’re also key regulators of aging, inflammation, and metabolic health.

As we age, mitochondrial efficiency naturally declines. Studies link this to fatigue, reduced exercise tolerance, slower recovery, and increased risk of chronic disease.

You can support mitochondrial function through small, science-backed choices:
🏃‍♀️ Regular aerobic + strength training
🥬 A diet rich in polyphenols (berries and greens)
🐟 Omega-3 fatty acids
🧊 Mild hormetic stress (like exercise & cold exposure)
☀️ Adequate vitamin D

When your mitochondria thrive, your energy, metabolism, and long-term health thrive too.

😴 Sleep is not just rest — it’s hormonal regulation in action.

Scientific evidence shows that even one night of short sleep increases cortisol, reduces insulin sensitivity, and disrupts appetite hormones like leptin and ghrelin. Over time, poor sleep can drive weight gain, inflammation, and metabolic dysfunction.

Healthy sleep is one of the most powerful metabolic interventions — and it’s free!

🔥 Chronic inflammation is often silent — but its impact is not.

Unlike acute inflammation (which heals injuries), low-grade inflammation simmers in the background and contributes to conditions like type 2 diabetes, heart disease, osteoarthritis, and even cognitive decline.

Studies show that factors like visceral fat, chronic stress, poor sleep, and ultra-processed foods keep the immune system in “low alert mode,” raising inflammatory markers such as IL-6 and CRP.

What helps?
🌱 Anti-inflammatory whole foods
🚶 Regular movement
🧘‍♀️ Stress-reducing practices
😴 7–9 hours of sleep
🥗 Supporting gut health

Reducing inflammation isn’t about quick fixes — it’s about building a lifestyle that helps your body return to balance.

Did you know we start losing 3–8% of our muscle mass every decade after age 30?
This age-related loss — known as sarcopenia — affects strength, metabolism, balance, and long-term health.

Research shows that muscle tissue is more than just movement — it's a metabolic organ that regulates blood sugar, maintains bone density, and supports healthy aging.

The good news? Sarcopenia is preventable and reversible.
✔️ Progressive strength training
✔️ Adequate protein intake
✔️ Omega-3s, vitamin D, & anti-inflammatory nutrition
✔️ Staying active throughout the day

Small, consistent habits help protect your muscles — and your future health. 💪🏼
