25.01.2022 What's the best diet for fertility you ask? Well let's look at the research. The Mediterranean diet - research demonstrates women eating a diet high in fish, vegetables, unsaturated fats and low in sugar, gluten and dairy not only had a lower rate of requiring help for fertility support, but also a significantly increased chance of IVF success. What about sugar?... When I say sugar, I mean simple carbohydrates. They are broken down easily and quickly, they include white bread, cakes, lollies, juices, soft drinks and yes, chocolate, sorry! As part of the Nurses Health Study, there was a link found between women who ate a diet high in simple carbohydrates with women with fertility challenges due to ovulation dysfunction. Interestly, quantity of carbohydrate didn’t appear to play a role, the important factor was the type. In another study, research is quite clear that poor egg quality is linked to high sugar diets. There is loads of research to support a low sugar diet when preparing for an IVF cycle, although this data as on IVF couples, it can be extended to non IVF couples also. Partners are not exempt either, there appears to be a link between sugar intake and sperm quality. A, 2012 study found poorer progressive motility was directly correlated with sugar intake in the form of sugary soda drinks, regardless of BMI. Enjoy complex carbohydrates which are slower to be broken down and utilised, like sweet potato, beans and whole grains like oats and brown rice.

23.01.2022 Did you know that consuming high quality cacao can help support your hormones? Probably the best news ever, right!? Cocoa is rich in magnesium and low magnesium levels are linked to PMS symptoms. Therefore, Increasing magnesium rich foods like cocoa in the diet can help reduce these symptoms. Additionally, Cacao contains precursors for neurotransmitters serotonin, dopamine and tryptophan, which assist feelings of calm and wellbeing and encourage resilience to stress and... anxiety. It has been shown that women who suffer from Premenstrual symptoms such as headaches and low moods have lower levels of these neurotransmitters. Cacao contains the flavonoid epicatechin, which may help regulate blood sugar levels and cortisol. Dysregulated Blood sugar levels and high cortisol are big drivers of hormonal imbalances. Always choose high quality, organic cacao and avoid processed sugar varieties. Your welcome, now go and treat yo self! HORMONE LOVING HOT CHOCOLATE 2 tbsp cacao (unsweetened or raw) 1 tsp ground cinnamon tsp ground ginger tsp ground turmeric tsp ground cardamon tsp vanilla (powder, extract or essence) 1 tsp of your sweetener of choice (rice malt syrup, honey, maple syrup, coconut sugar or rapadura) 4-500 ml milk of your choice (cow, coconut, nut milk) Method Mix the cacao and spices together into a mug or cup. Mix to combined then divide between the two cups. Add the sweetener to each cup (if required). Heat the milk of your choice (I generally use the frother on my coffee machine).

21.01.2022 INCREASING YOUR BREAST MILK SUPPLY With Sonny I was always fighting to keep my supply up.. now Lenny is 6 weeks (already! I know ) Iv had to implement some of these to help as my supply has balanced out to support his needs. Increase water intake aim for around 2-3L per day. Dehydration will dry up breast milk production, aim to drink a big glass of water every time you breastfeed.... Your breast milk is made up of what you eat, eating the right foods is crucial for producing good quality milk and also to continue to nurture your own body to avoid depletion. Ensure you are having a wholesome diet - avoid ‘empty calories’ such as biscuits, lollies and chips - instead aim to have at least 2-3 meals per day that contain a protein source, good fats, complex carbohydrate and vegetables. Specific foods that help to improve breast milk production include oats, flax seeds, fennel, oat milk, brewer’s yeast, fenugreek, sesame seeds/tahini. Avoid alcohol, peppermint, sage and parsley as they can reduce supply. Visit your naturopath or herbalist for a bottle of herbal medicine containing galactagogues and nervine herbs to encourage breast milk production and calm the nervous system - some of my favourites include Fennel, Fenugreek, Goats rue, Withania and Lavender. Reach out for support, lactation consultation, the ABA or maternal health care nurse. See more
18.01.2022 P A R E N T I N G - H A C K S Since becoming a mum of two, I have found myself with less time to prepare healthy meals, here are a few parent hacks that are used to help keep meals nutritious. They say it takes a village to raise a child, ... So let’s all share our parenting hacks, I know you guys are so CLEVER! Here are my latest parenting hacks: (note they aren’t just for parents ) 1 Smoothies are 100% acceptable meal option, Fruit, vegetables, oats, nuts and seeds. Whatever! Add spinach for a super hulk green smoothie! 2 Use alternatives to flour. Flours such as chickpea flour and coconut flour l, these have a higher nutritional quality than wheat based flours. Armond meal also makes a great alternative and has adequate amounts of protein and good fats. Think pancakes, muffins and even chicken nugget crumbs. Boom! 3 Preparation. Having preprepared meals and snacks can help prevent nutrient poor meals like take away, toast and two minute noodles. frozen smoothie and omelette packs in the freezer are a great idea, porridge jars and overnight oats can be made the night before. 4 Crushed nuts and seeds. Simply choose whatever raw and unsalted nuts and seeds you have lying around, place in a food processor or blender and pulse until the consistency of a nut meal. Nut meals have high amounts of protein and good fats and are great to top up any meal, sprinkle over porridge, oats, fish, home-made sweet potato oven chips. Now, back over to you all.

10.01.2022 [Q: EVER WONDER HOW TO IMPROVE YOUR EGG QUALITY?] Egg quality is one of the most important factors when trying to conceive. It’s up there with timing, oh and sperm! That’s pretty important too! And especially important in IVF success! When we are in our mums tummy we already have all of the eggs we will ever have!... Then the 3 months before you ovulate is what influences that eggs health, it’s ability to become a viable embryo, develop into a healthy pregnancy, prevent miscarriage, then a healthy baby and even your babies baby!!!! Yep! What you do in the pre conception phase influences health of generations to come! How cool is that?! OKAY. You’ll ready? 1 Avoid ibuprofen medications!

If your suffering periods pain, headaches, whatever it be... come see us to fix it naturally! 2 Protect your eggs from toxins - avoid plastics, chemicals, eat organic and especially avoid smoking!!!! 3 Keep hydrated! Simple, but important! Avoid rehydrating drinks like caffeine and alcohol. 4 Avoid sugar, studies have found a direct link to increased sugar intake and por egg health.

07.01.2022 Over the last few weeks I have been talking to lots of women and It has come to my attention that many women have been told they have HPV (Human Papillomavirus)And in most cases it has been a wait and watch approach. Certain strains of the HPV virus have been linked to cervical cancer formation, it seems so strange to just watch and wait for there to be cellular changes before anything is done. But what if I told you there was ways to reduce the infection and therefore h...elp prevent the development of cervical cancer? When it comes to HPV there are many factors that influence its incidence and progression. Join us for a live on IG on Thursday evening at 7:30 pm Darwin time We will discuss: Medical mushrooms DIM and I3C The role of the vaginal Microbiome Immunity Lifestyle changes Nutritional status See more
06.01.2022 IRON LOSS + MENSTRUATING Do you suffer from anaemia or low iron stores? Did you know that we lose iron when we menstrate? 1ml of blood contains around 0.5ml of iron, therefore, it is very important to replenish iron stores when we are menstruating, and in the weeks around menstruation.... A woman loses around 50ml of blood in an average menstrual cycle, so that's 25ml of iron. Women with heavy periods loose around 80ml of blood. What is a normal loss or heavy loss? Well, a completely soaked tampon will hold 5mls of blood, so a heavy loss would be soaking 16 tampons or pads, or emptying a full 30ml cup 3 times in one period. To replenish your iron stores, be sure to enjoy dietary sources of Haem and Non-haem iron. Heam iron is primarily found in meat, poultry, seafood, and fish, is more easily absorbed (20-25% absorption) and is relatively unaffected by other dietary and gastrointestinal factors. Non-haem iron, found in whole grain cereals, vegetables, fruits, nuts and legumes, is not as easily absorbed (2-20% absorption) as it’s affected by conditions in the digestive tract and various fibres and phytonutrients in foods. Eating vitamin c with your iron source will enhance the absorption. See more
