I've recently had a few clients with NO THYROID at all. It's very important to ensure you're taking appropriate medication that your GP will prescribe. There are also nutrients that are imperative to help activate thyroid hormone to support the body properly. They are as below: zinc, iodine, selenium, iron, vitamin D, B12, calcium, and magnesium. These are all important if you have a thyroid too, but sometimes in different amounts. That's why it's important to speak to your doctor, and a natural health practitioner, like myself, so you're covering all areas of functional and natural medicine.

Home for lunch and typing up treatment plans. I heated up some leftover roast veggies, along with two eggs and a tofu sausage. That’s about 25 grams of protein, plus my shake, so I’ll reach about 55-60 grams for the day so far.

Remember, we lose muscle as we get older, and protein helps build it, especially after weight training, (which I just finished). So, aim for at least 1 gram per kilo of body weight daily, and build muscle with weight training. Muscles help hold the body together, and actually help strengthen bones- a bonus for those in peri or menopause!

Some healthy/nutritionist approved baking this morning, along with some unhealthy/child approved baking this morning, (with child helping). Can you guess which one is which? 🤣

Home for lunch and feeling like my iron is low, (pale tongue and finger nails too). So, a plant based iron packed lunch with black cabbage right from the garden with organic tofu, red capsicum and egg! Vitamin C from the red capsicum will aid the iron absorption from the tofu, black cabbage, and a little from the eggs. I tossed wirh some light soy sauce and sesame oil.

This is so true, and one of the reasons I’m so passionate about nutrition and exercise. I know how great we can feel and how much energy we can have. Food and movement are two huge pillars for maintaining great health

The last of the homegrown cauliflower…🥲 I absolutely love cauliflower! My fav way to cook it is to pull it apart,(yes with my hands) over a large baking tray. I spray extra virgin olive oil and toss with my hands, and then shake some of this seasoning from the states. It’s really just salt, herbs, spices, and dehydrated onion and garlic. Roast at 200 for 50 minutes or so and enjoy! Save leftovers for salads or a tasty snack. Your liver will love you for it!

Absolutely! Both consistent healthy eating and moving the body work together to shape your health and well-being. That’s right, it’s not just physical health that benefits but mental health as well in a major way! That’s why I’ve been a fitness instructor for the last 18 years, and a nutritionist for the last 10 years. I love helping people discover the crazy good benefits of eating well and exercising. I always say it’s the best anti-depressant out there and it’s free!

There is a slight chill to the wind today and I was craving Mexican bean soup. So, I whipped some up with fresh cilantro and lime from the garden to top … hit the spot!
