23.01.2022 Support your journey to a healthier lifestyle in the best way available. Dr Leon's Probiotic has been created to maximise gut health and boost overall wellbeing. When you feel good on the inside, it shows on the outside.

22.01.2022 We know it takes a little more time and effort, but cooking food at home really is worthwhile, especially if you're looking to make some lifestyle changes for the better. For starters, it pretty much eliminates the chance of ingesting synthetic chemicals present in processed foods, which is great for digestion and overall health. It also means you can ensure you're getting the required amounts of fresh fruit and vegetables full of the nutrients and minerals your body need...s. We're sure switching to a predominantly fresh food diet will help you feel more alert, less sluggish and more energised (not to mention warding off any unwanted weight gain). Our top tip? Shop around the perimeter of the supermarket and keep the in-aisle products to a minimum! See more

18.01.2022 While sugar is a feature of carbohydrates, cutting out carbs to lose weight is not as simple as it sounds. There is a significant difference between the sugars featured in wholefoods and the refined sugars present in many of the confectionery and baked goods we have today. For one, wholemeal carbs (also known as 'complex'), are digested slower than refined sugar. The refined sugars are what is implicated in weight gain and metabolic diseases, whereas actually, many of the naturally occurring sugars in whole, complex carbs contain prebiotic properties that nourish beneficial bacteria in the gut! This means there's no need to cut carbs from your diet. Alongside healthy fats and protein, they make up the three essential macronutrients that the body needs to function. The more you know, the more informed changes you can make!

17.01.2022 No one has the power to make the changes you want to see in your life except YOU. Envision the life you want for yourself, and do everything in your power to get you there. Small, consistent steps are the best way to start and with a little patience and a lot of determination, anything is possible.

17.01.2022 If you feel as though you eat too much without realising, leaving you bloated and uncomfortable, there are some ways to control your portion sizes without depriving yourself. Swipe through to see some top tips! Remember: Dr Leon stresses that portion control *alone* doesn't work, and that you should aim for comfort at the end of a meal, as opposed to feeling "stuffed". Using common sense and the tips above should help you understand how much your body needs. Tips credit to @healthline

15.01.2022 Breakfast inspiration, brought to you by this appetising bowl of fibre-rich oats and antioxidant-packed berries! A great meal or snack to lower blood sugar levels and reduce risk of heart disease, you can't go wrong starting off your day with a big bowl of good old oats!

12.01.2022 We love making homemade alternatives to store bought foods, like butters, nut pastes and dips! To make your own, you'll probably need a food processor or blender, such as for this Zuccanoush recipe! It's a fresh take on Babaganoush that replaces eggplant with zucchini, if that's more to your liking. To make it, you will need: 3x small zucchini, quartered lengthwise 3 tbsp. olive oil, divided... Kosher salt and pepper 1 clove garlic 1/4 c. tahini 2 tbsp. fresh lemon juice 3 tbsp. mint leaves, divided 1 tbsp. pine nuts, toasted Method: 1. Heat grill to medium. Toss zucchini with 1 tablespoon oil and 1/2 teaspoon salt and grill until tender and evenly charred, 8 to 10 minutes. 2. Transfer zucchini to blender along with garlic, tahini, lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon mint and pulse to combine. With motor running on low speed, drizzle in remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and puree until mostly smooth, increasing blender speed if necessary. 3. Chop remaining mint. Serve zucchini mixture topped with mint and pine nuts. Mmmm, fresh! Recipe via @goodhousekeeping

09.01.2022 Is there a more trustworthy snack than banana muffins? We love this healthy update to a household staple, as it reduces the waste of mushy bananas doubles as a satisfying treat! To make, you will need: 2 eggs 2 tbsp 100% pure maple syrup... 1 tsp vanilla extract 3 medium-sized ripe bananas, well mashed 125ml milk of your choice 75g rolled oats 260g wholemeal flour 1 tsp baking soda tsp ground cinnamon 1 small handful of chopped walnuts (optional) Method: Preheat oven to 180C and line a 12-cup muffin tray with paper cases. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, maple syrup and vanilla extract together until well-combined. Stir in the mashed bananas and milk. In a separate bowl, combine the rolled oats, wholemeal flour, baking soda, cinnamon and walnuts, if using. Add the banana mixture to the dry ingredients and mix with a wooden spoon, until just combined. Divide the batter evenly between the 12 cases. Bake the muffins for 15-20 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the middle of the muffin comes out clean. Leave the muffins to cool for 5 minutes in the muffin pan. Turn out carefully onto a wire rack to cool completely. If you like, top them with a slice of fresh banana. Enjoy! Recipe via @kayla_itsines

07.01.2022 Carbs are an important part of your diet! You just need to make sure you're getting the RIGHT kind of carb. Swapping out white rice for brown or even 'cauli-rice' is a great way to still satiate your need for carbs or complement that chicken or tofu dish but also getting the extra nutrients that comes with a whole food alternative. Have you tried Cauli-rice? Let us know what you think of it below!

07.01.2022 If you're Melbourne based like us, have you taken advantage of the removal of the 25km limit yet? Where are you heading out to make the most of the warmer weather? Being in nature has shown to improve feelings of wellbeing and overall health, so get out there and breathe in that fresh, fresh air!

02.01.2022 Another simple swap, brought to you by Dr Leon: Whole Grain, Low GI bread. There's no reason to avoid carbs when they are the building blocks for fuelling your body! It's just a question of WHICH carbs you are feeding yourself. Whole wheat bread is such a simple swap but means so many more nutrients than traditional white bread. It is higher in fibre, vitamins B6 and E, folic acid, zinc and magnesium and also ensures a lower hike in your Glycemic Index, which is the root cause of why so many people rush to cut out carbs when dieting. Make your body work smarter, not harder, so you can still enjoy the satiety bread provides!
