Shhhhh… top secret! 🤫🌱

As one of New Zealand’s leading Nutritionists, I often asked what my number one trick or hack is for better health or weight loss.

Is it chia seeds? Goji berries? Some exotic Amazonian superfood you've never heard of?

Nope!
It’s way simpler (and more accessible!) than you think…

It’s exactly what your mum or grandma probably told you:

👉 Eat your vegetables! 🥦🥕🍅
Veggies are packed with vitamins, minerals, fibre, and phytochemicals. They’re low in calories, low in fat, easy to find, and kind to your wallet. A colourful variety helps lower your risk of deficiencies and many diseases.

Excellent for gut health and prevention of high cholesterol, high blood pressure, diabetes, constipation, depression and much more!

Getting out of your comfort zone isn’t easy. It’s common for some clients to book in, then freak out and cancel or not turn up last minute (most who have already paid!). Not because they don’t want change… but because they’re waiting for the “perfect moment.”

The story we tell ourselves sounds like:
“Maybe I’ll start tomorrow… maybe Monday… when life is quieter… when the kids are older… maybe next year.”

But here’s the truth: **the perfect time is ALWAYS right now.**
This second. This moment. This is your point of power.

Start today and you’ll start getting results today. Start on a Friday. Start in December. Start when it feels slightly uncomfortable, that’s where the magic happens.

This video is from my black belt Taekwondo grading over the weekend. Completely out of my comfort zone. I was the only woman. The only mum. But I still punched through wood on my first attempt, because I made the commitment and followed it through. I started in my mid-30s, on a random Thursday, and now I am a black belt.

Later won’t be easier. Later you’ll be older. Later there will be more work to undo.
**Don’t delay. Start today.**

Kia ora everyone 🤍
I want to share one of the *easiest and most effective* breath-work techniques out there: **Box Breathing**.

Used by high-stress professions (including US Navy SEALs), this simple practice helps reset your breathing rhythm after stress. It can calm the mind, relax the body, and sharpen focus, anytime, anywhere.

Studies show that diaphragmatic breathing can activate the body’s relaxation response, support mental clarity, improve mood, and even reduce cortisol.

Here’s how to do it:
1️⃣ Breathe in through your nose for **4 counts**
2️⃣ Hold for **4 counts**
3️⃣ Exhale for **4 counts**
4️⃣ Hold for **4 counts**
Repeat for as long as you need, aim for 5 minutes, or squeeze in 10 rounds when you’re short on time.

Use it whenever you need more *energy, focus, or calm*.
(⚠️ Note: It may cause light-headedness, so avoid doing it while driving, in water, or anywhere unsafe.)

This is just one of many breath-work tools to help manage stress and shift your mood.

Starting a family should be one of the sweetest and most sacred moments of your life 🤍
But for some, it doesn’t come so easily. Many women feel like failures when they don’t conceive in the first few months of trying, and that underlying chronic stress can actually lower fertility.

Easier said than done, right?

If you’re trying to conceive, here are a few gentle tips to help support your fertility:

1️⃣ Reduce plastics in your life, they can interfere with hormones. Swap to stainless steel drink bottles, glass coffee cups, wooden chopping boards etc.
2️⃣ Avoid artificial fragrances, choose natural beauty, body and cleaning products as much as possible.
3️⃣ Manage stress, it’s one of the biggest hormone disruptors. Gentle movement, breath-work, mindfulness and hobbies that fill your cup can make a world of difference.
4️⃣ Prioritise nutrition, work with a nutrition professional to ensure you’re eating the right foods (and enough of them).

If this feels like your story, you are not alone. 💛
If you’d like support on your journey, like, follow or DM/email to book a consultation. Because you deserve to live your dreams 🤍✨

✨ To prevent many diseases, you need at least 2½ hours (150 mins) of moderate to intense exercise per week (heart rate increased and breaking a sweat).

For years, I’ve averaged around 3–4 hours a week, a mix of training, yoga, walks, and movement I love.

But this past year, training for my black belt in Taekwondo, that number has jumped to 7–7½ hours of moderate to intense exercise weekly.
(That’s not even counting gentle yoga or long dog walks!) 🥋💪

And here’s what might surprise you 👇

1️⃣ I haven’t lost weight, in fact, I gained about a kilo over winter.
2️⃣ My appetite increased, some days I get so hungry I sneak in an extra meal (or two 😅).
3️⃣ My sleep improved, I fall asleep faster and sleep more deeply than ever.
4️⃣ My pants got tighter, not from shrinkage in the washing machine … but my quads just grew! (These muscles are hungry 🔥)

On rest days, I’m bursting with energy. One day I took my dog for a “walk in the rain” and ended up running for 20 minutes… and I’m not a runner!

What blows me away the most is that I’m 40, I’ve always been fit, but I’m still surprised by how strong and capable I’ve become in midlife.

Sometimes even the hardest goals are achievable with the right mindset.
Consistency pays off.
Rest matters.
It’s never too late to challenge yourself.

Yes, there were tired, sore, unmotivated days.
Yes, I took two full weeks off when I got COVID, and yes I had to modify when I was injured. But I kept going. And that’s where the magic happens.🌟
