25.01.2022 Nervous system ‘IMPRINTING’ Latest episode of Stress, Emotions & your gut series up on IGTV .. ‘Imprinting’ is a survival mechanism and it’s what’s happened to all of us.. problem is - most of us are ... ‘OVER IMPRINTED’ > rather than this evolutionary system keeping us ‘safe and alive’ it’s keeping us ‘stressed’ and creating a shit tonne of dysfunctional behaviour contributing to Psychological & Physical disease...

22.01.2022 Sunday Funday in Nature on the Mornington Peninsula! Ps insta won’t share this to FB and posting twice is too Much social media for me . but basically had an amazing day on the Ninch

21.01.2022 I’m a very big fan of supporting local small businesses.. especially ones that make amazing delicious and healthy foods for me to eat & share ... @torellofarm carrot top pesto ... umm stop it ... it’s sooo f-ing good I smashed the whole jar (mostly) myself in a few days ... Not to mention their incredible quality produce at the farm gate @mumma.made chilli pickles Oh. My. Yum. everything I’ve tasted so far is next level delicious!! Remember the mystery jam? I do!! .... getting some of these for Christmas gifts for sure... @boatshedcheese I’m not a big cheese eater but when I do - I want it to be special ! And the other thing I love about good food is sharing it ... @the_nutritioneffect that’s your leg in the second pic... thanks for the awesome platter at the beach yesterday.. it went very well with the Moët #supportsmallbusiness #morningtonpeninsula #mornpen #localbusiness #localproduce #goodfood #sharefood #moët

21.01.2022 One of my all time fave additions to add quick healthy extra flavour & nutrition to any meal... @gevityrx bone broth... here just added a tblsp to stir fry veg - bump up the nutrients & collagen.. All the blends are yum but this one (AM Cleanse - but you’re allowed to use in the evening as well ) also has Lemon, ginger, turmeric, ACV .. ... Was so yum - could use any veg - I just used what I had; Stir fry in EVOO > Cauliflower, Broccoli & corn (add a little water and lid on to steam a bit but not burn) + spring onion, Chinese 5 spice, cumin & the broth... Nutrient dense Fibre polyphenols collagen feeds gut cells They also have a range of healthy mayo & sauces... get them in your guts @gevityrx #gevityrx #bethebestyou #bonebroth #nutrientdense #collagen #delicious #guthealth

20.01.2022 This series is happening over at my IGTV .... BUT the reason it’s taking me so long to do each episode is because of slide 2 (swipe left .. or right - however your brain understands that swipe operation ) The last couple weeks have been NUTS BUSY .. in a good way, but I could get more shit done if I worked earlier or later, sacrificed weekend time, exercise time, ate in front of my computer etc etc ...... But I DON’T because I know that’s not healthy and that make my gut AND brain fizzle into stress response and f$&ks my shit up... So please forgive my tardiness on the episodes ... I will get to it ... and in the mean time - take note of slide 2 and prioritise the things that give us health & vitality #guthealth #gutbrainconnection #gutbrainaxis #microbiome #stressrelief #stressmanagement

16.01.2022 It’s coming ... the story... it’s a good one

14.01.2022 So I was thinking about this after my post the other day about how much I love cooking and sharing food with my family and friends... And you know what else lights me up? My work and helping people.. Quite a few years ago before I was doing this as a career (before I found my passion & purpose) my partner at the time said to me you don’t have to help everyone you know ... And I was like but if I can - why wouldn’t I?... Clearly I’ve ALWAYS BEEN A HELPER... So last week I got these 3 emails that made me so fucking happy.. clients that emailed just to tell me thanks and essentially that ‘I’m helping them big time’... If you see the last tile (the one that starts with Oh. My. Fuck ) that’s actually my response back to a client Sometimes I say ‘I’m lucky / blessed’ to have a career I love but you know what - there’s no freaking luck - I CHOSE THIS.. I worked out what lights me up and now I get to do it every single day So this is a question I now ask all my clients because if you don’t know (and let me tell you MOST OF US DON’T KNOW - it’s not a question we ask or have ever been encouraged / taught to ask) It’s stopping you from total wellness. Holistic wellness includes spending a shit tonne of time being ‘lit up’ And to quote my all time fave saying; ‘I stopped waiting for the light at the end of the tunnel a lit that bitch up myself’ I hope this fucking inspires you to go looking for your light & your fire #passion #purpose #helper #whatlightsyouup #lightthatbitchupyourself

09.01.2022 Here's the story peeps; Radical Responsibility & transformational Break Ups So if you saw my post about cold water swimming and how the fuck I ever started doing it - this is the story...... RADICAL RESPONSIBILITY - thanks to a timely reminder from @kimanami (Podcast - Break Up & Break Through) about applying this process to a breakup and how fucking powerfully transformative it is. Don’t stay in your shit - but have a good fucking look at it coz that’s where the magic is.... Ps Kudos to my Ex who is an incredible man and did this process with me to also look at his shit.. and yes we’re still friends and yes we came out the other side so much stronger and wiser... #radicalresponsibility #breakup #breakthrough #holistichealing #holisticwellness #lookatyourshit #transformation

09.01.2022 What’s GBS you say? You may know of or heard of it if you’ve had a baby or you’ve probably had the ‘swab’ and maybe had ABX for it? I get asked about this ALL THE TIME and it shits me how little mums get told about it... ... Caitlin from @thepregnancyculture has just done a fabulous series of posts on it ... please if you’re pregnant educate yourself, because chances are if you go into the mainstream birthing system in Australia you won’t be ‘powerfully informed’.. And you definitely won’t be informed of the true risks vs benefits OR that you have choices and rights when it comes to the swab and whether or not you want/need the ABX (Unless you have one of the awesome midwives / HPs out there that know how incredibly important this stuff is see my list below and please add to it if you know any more!) But know this... it’s a transient infection (that’s means it comes & goes) but it is an indication that you have a dysbiotic vagina microbiome & that we have lots of tools to help fix this... tools like diet, lifestyle, regulating blood sugar, regulating pH, probiotics, prebiotics etc etc that can address your vag bugs BEFORE you get to the later stages of pregnancy... The earlier the better... And you should definitely know about the vag bugs and fertility if you’re at that stage too ... SUPER IMPORTANT & does not get considered enough in PREconception... (there is so much new research in this area it’s ) Please read @thepregnancyculture series & also check out @melaniethemidwife YouTube channel - she has an awesome short video on GBS research and actual risks... Other awesome HPs & birth workers I know that will empower you with their wisdom; B from @coreandfloorrestore Catherine from @birthmapping Kerri-Ann from @birthandbabes Rebecca from @bloominginadelaide Ros from @hellobabymidwifery Marg from @mesmerisedmamas Kerry from @thehypnobirthingmum There’s more - I’ll add them in comments or please tag your fave midwife / birth support person so we all can help each other and have empowered births and healthy Vag Bugs #gbs #groupbstrep #vagina #vaginabugs #vaginamicrobiome #pregnancy

08.01.2022 This one was really fricken easy and quick but tasted delicious which is great coz I’m not actually a ‘taste’ fan of tofu.. Like really.. it tastes like nothing - but a bit like rubber (if rubber didn’t have a taste) Anyway I didn’t have much time or any fresh veg but still worked out to be pretty healthy and yum..... Pretty much anything starting with @frombasquewithlove blends does tho!! Add a few veg, herbs and tofu and you’re on a winner moroccon cous cous (@frombasquewithlove blend) organic frozen veg biodynamic tofu organic butter, EVOO parsley #delicious #plantbased #eathealthy #nutrientdense #easyfood #easyfoodrecipes #herbs #tofu #couscous

08.01.2022 I’m a cold water swimmer!! Posting about this coz I’m so fucking stoked with myself for overcoming the MAJOR RESISTANCE around this... I’ve lived near the ocean my whole life and I’ve ALWAYS only ever been a ‘fair weather swimmer’ .... actually it had to be really sunny and hot for me to even consider swimming.. ever .. in any body of water.. My PT once tried to get me to do 10 seconds of cold water at the end of my daily shower and I was like ‘no fucking way, you’re cra...zy’ Anyone that knows me well, ‘knows’ I hate being cold & this is also what I believed about myself (well and truly and very fucking deeply ingrained in me as a child by a cold phobic mum - our house was so well ‘heated’ visitors would turn up dressed in layers knowing they would have to disrobe if they stayed even 5 mins ) So anyway... I’ve recently been through a series of events that have led to this now daily practice ... and as fore mentioned am fucking stoked.. I start each day inspired and empowered and it’s transformed my perspective on heaps of shit... I’m going to do an IGTV this week about the ‘series of events’ that happened recently.. the most pivotal being a relationship ‘break up’ that became a ‘break though’ because I applied RADICAL RESPONSIBILITY to it... and fuck me did it blow my mind it’s a really good story and I’m excited to share... I won’t be shit () and I’ll definitely do it this week! #coldwaterswimming #breakup #breakthrough #radicalresponsibility #mindblown #inspiredbyme

07.01.2022 Latest IGTV series is back! Apologies for the hiatus (got busy with F1kdays education) Stress, Emotions & your Gut Episode 4 - Enteric Nervous System, Vagus Nerve & Meditation ... Etc etc What the enteric nervous system is, why it matters, how it’s connected to the brain ... how they ‘trigger’ each other into a viscous cycle.. What we do to break that cycle ... And one of the easiest ways to get meditation in you life! (Believe me I tried ALL the ways and thought I was shit at it for years! All over it now ) #igtv #entericnervoussystem #gutbrainconnection #vagusnerve #meditation #nervoussystem #nervoussystemregulation #nervoussystemresilience

07.01.2022 I’m a very big fan of batch cooking veggies and using leftovers ... I love cooking but sometimes I cbf so I love it when all I have to do is warm it up.. the original was the stir fry & Chinese 5 spice chicken last night... then some of the veg and sesame eggs for lunch and tonight sliced up the left over chicken and served with brown rice, herbs & toasted black & white sesame seeds #wholefood #versatile #easydinner #easymeals #veggies #plantbased #batchcook #leftovers #leftoversfordays #leftoversforlunch #nutrientdense

06.01.2022 Sunday Adventure Day (even tho it’s Monday) sometimes Sunday also = no insta posting.... so lucky to have this in my back yard & although I’d been to this area before I’d never done this actual part of the track .... so much beauty and nature .... hardly any other people ... What a way to recharge ... followed it up with a visit to the farmgate @hawkes_farm & a delicious healthy dinner ... Oh and PS Also wearing print shirt that makes me a warrior... every women should have one #sunday #sundayvibes #adventure #naturelover #nature #oceanbeach #bushwalking
