25.01.2022 | VEGE SIDES | Green and yellow combo. Frozen corn, asparagus and green beans!! ... I served with fried chicken thighs and garlicky roasted potatoes. If you wanted to ditch the meat I would replace the chicken with 3 boiled eggs or a mixture of rice and red kidney beans.

24.01.2022 HOW’S YOUR DAY BEEN? I’ve been in my togs most of the day. Best vibe Eva! Just pottering around; walking the dog, washing, playing ping pong, chatting to my ladies signing up to my program, coffees and chocolate biscuits. Just one of those days that nothing super exciting happened but hanging at home was enough and perfect. Simple at its best. ... This is my dinner, a new recipe which I’ll share next week. The dressing is to die for; lime juice, oil, ginger, garlic, fish sauce and honey!!! A whole food salad that is filling, nutrient rich, fibre-luscious and I reckon great for ladies lunch boxes. Have a great Saturday night. Fee #cruiselife #beingathome #newrecipe #menoflourish #brisbanenutritionist #comeworkwithmein2021 #selfcare #findyourgroove

23.01.2022 | SOURDOUGH RYE | Feeling pretty clever today as I made some bread. It’s a packet mix which I bought before they all sold out (another clever award). Dough was very sticky. Did some research and need to knead a bit more and maybe have hotter water. ... I won’t eat a lot personally as lots of wheat is not good for me but boys will enjoy it for lunch.

22.01.2022 How many years of beauty do I have left? she asks me. How many more do you want? Here. Here is 34. Here is 50.... When you are 80 years old and your beauty rises in ways your cells cannot even imagine now and your wild bones grow luminous and ripe, having carried the weight of a passionate life. When your hair is aflame with winter and you have decades of learning and leaving and loving sewn into the corners of your eyes and your children come home to find their own history in your face. When you know what it feels like to fail ferociously and have gained the capacity to rise and rise and rise again. When you can make your tea on a quiet and ridiculously lonely afternoon and still have a song in your heart Queen owl wings beating beneath the cotton of your sweater. Because your beauty began there beneath the sweater and the skin, remember? This is when I will take you into my arms and coo YOU BRAVE AND GLORIOUS THING you’ve come so far. I see you. Your beauty is breathtaking. Jeannette Encinias

21.01.2022 | SAFETY & COFFEE FIRST | It’s a wet morning and a change of plans for me. Caught the bus into the city to complete my First Aid training which is a requirement as a qualified nutritionist. I’ve got in early so just sitting with my coffee watching the rain, umbrellas and people. ... Perfect spot!!!

20.01.2022 | ARE YOU TAKING CARE OF YOU | There is a lot going on right now and it’s important to take a deep breath and work on not getting too swept up in the frenzy. Keep your nervous system as calm as you can. Even if for a few minutes. Keep informed but limit the amount of time consuming the news, reading and worrying. ... One of the best ways to redirect your thoughts is to jump into your kitchen and cook some food. Today I made a beetroot hummus and having some for morning tea with cucumber sticks and red peppers. It’s a great recipe that you can really make your own by adding different herbs and spices and working on the consistency. YOU’LL NEED -> 1 tin of chickpeas, rinsed -> 1 packet of fresh cooked beetroot -> 1 lemon, zest and juice -> 2 Tbsp of tahini (I used peanut butter) -> 1/4 C of garlic olive oil or just olive oil -> 3 crushed garlic cloves -> 1 tsp or so of freshly grated ginger -> 1 heaped tsp of cumin and turmeric -> Salt and pepper TO MAKE 1 Add all ingredients into a blender until smooth or if you like it chunky then just blitz till mixed. 2 I tasted it and it wasn’t quite right so I added another tsp of garlic powder and a dash of honey. My taste buds then confirmed I had it right. You do the same 3 This makes about 4 cups so store in two glass containers and give one jar to your neighbour. This recipe is garlicky and guess what garlic has a photochemical called allicin which is fabulous for fighting coughs and colds. Go forth with garlic breath might make people steer clear of you .

19.01.2022 CHANGE OF PLANS I was sailing on course as close to the wind as possible to glide into a flow but decided to change tack, let down the anchor and enjoy the bay views. Doesn’t that sound amazingwell I’ve decided to spend more time enjoying the views and delay my Meno-Flourish Program. It gets busy doesn’t it at this time of year. Not that I’m putting my hand up to be super busy. That’s not my cup of tea. Been there done that. ... Anyway, I’ll spare you all my reasons but it’s mostly about keeping peace within me and just being able to enjoy the school holidays, Christmas with my family, holiday at the beach then I’ll be ready. Thank you to those who booked and are ok to delay and to those who were still thinking I know this change suits you more. It all starts on Monday the 17th of January 2021. Just in time to help you with all your NY’s resolutions. We can hang with a group of gorgeous gals, feel supported while we get food and body smart and up level your life style in a personal and loving way. This course would be a super gift for yourself (wink wink) and remember that once you’ve joined the course you get life time access to the content/program until I stop running it.

18.01.2022 | SUNDAY FEET UP | I’ve had a lovely day at home with the family. First swim in the pool which was very refreshing. Did a quick run to the fruit shop and as soon as I got home I got chopping. I didn’t delay. This is the best way because: if it’s chopped & ready to eat they’ll eat it. ... plus chopped up 1kg of strawberries which I found on special. They weren’t perfect but perfect for smoothies. And into the freezer. Then I put my feet up Fee #selfcare #balance #fruitsmoothies #choppedwatermelon #sundayvibes See more

18.01.2022 | MY FRUIT BAR | You know that annoying thing when all the family is at home and they constantly go into the pantry and eat all the crackers and biscuits? I need a padlock ... Well my solution or part solution is to have fruit washed, chopped, ready to eat and in the fridge. When they are all hanging around I’ll bring it all out and it just gets inhaled. Winning. Not that they care but fruit tops up their hydration, adds to their antioxidants, vitamins, minerals requirements and good ole fibre for a healthy and moving gut. Looks so lovely on the bench! What’s your tip to block off the pantry?

17.01.2022 ||TOOLBOX LOVE || Today I have been taking my own advice that I share quite often with my clients. When you’re feeling overwhelmed lean in on your self care tool box and ride the wave. My tool box is easy for me to access because I’ve taken the time to know (awareness) what I need and what’s inside (respond) this helps me reset ... my vibe. I’m not suggesting that I went from sad to happy straight away, it’s been a slow reset and I’m ok with that. My personal plan: I did a breath meditation when I woke up, made sure I went for a walk, my meals today are vegetarian so light and easy (Tropical smoothie, dal and rice + roasted tomato eggplant pasta) plus I’m drinking more water. I had booked in an acupuncture session so that was a bonus. I deferred a few things. These practices really helped soften the load for me, I didn’t have to think how can I support myself because I already had my plan. Thank you to my husband who had to witness my tears this morning and just held the space. It’s all I needed. It’s a big transition at times, our mid-life calling.

17.01.2022 | MORNING TEA TIME | Having moments of overwhelm as things change daily at home. Two kids home now so trying to work out entertaining them and doing my work. I will find my groove. ... I feel so lucky to have the internet with lots of wisdom being offered which helps change my story out of lack and of course friends and family checking in.

17.01.2022 80% OF PEOPLE GIVE UP on their NY resolutions by February. That's crazy and quite sad all at the same time. The key reasons are creating unrealistic goals that are not well planned with no support thus losing momentum really quickly aka one month later. ... This year my plan is to create healthy habits with stretching, resistance training and cardio. These are super important for us peri-menopausal ladies. 1. Yoga in the evenings every 3 days, 2. A 14km bike ride with my husband, Wednesday’s 3. Weekly group PT session. This is my starting point. I’ll work up each month going back to my process of awareness, assessment and adjustment. I’ve thought everything through and planned it in my diary. Sometimes you feel like a sergeant ha ha but it works, you have clarity, the plan and you just have to implement it. Believe it or not that is the easy part, the hardest part is being stuck in your head always deciding what, when, how etc Is 2021 your year to break habits not serving you and making a commitment to creating the best life then send me a PM and let’s see if I can help you achieve this. This is my passion helping women 45+ finding the strength, clarity and calmness to press that reset button using nutritional medicine to strengthen their well-being with diet and lifestyle strategies. Hugs Fee Ps this is a picture of me after my bike ride and feeling pumped and my breaky which was 2 boiled eggs, wilted spinach and brown rice (pre-cooked)YUM #breakbadhabits #buildgoodhabits #dailyintentions #comeworkwithmein2021 #brisbanenutritionist #nutritionalmedicinepractitioner #selfcare #dailyfocus #menopause

16.01.2022 | FIBRE YOURSELF WITH WHOLEFOOD | A big welcome to all my new likers over the past few weeks. You won't regret liking me ha ha I promise. I'm fun and oh so passionate about women's health and really getting into the nitty gritty of what helps make us thrive as women today. We have so many challenges thrown at us incl supporting big tribes of people. WE need to be at our best. Now let’s talk fibre ... It’s one thing I talk a lot about with my ladies in clinic. Super important to know how much fibre you’re getting into your system each day. You can do this easily by ensuring that at each main meal, breakfast, lunch and dinner you are topping up with vegetables that can be raw, steamed or roasted. Today I had leftover dinner from a few nights back, chicken and rice then added a generous 1/2C of chopped cucumber which is 1 serve of veges ticked off plus 0.5gm of fibre. Not a lot compared to other veges BUT every bite counts. Nutritional science tells us we need around 25 to 30 grams per day. When you’re aware and listening to your body you’ll start to know how much you personally need. On a side note I cover this in the Meno-Flourish Online program starting in January...interested comment below. A few examples with approx fibre amounts: > 1 med apple = 4gm of fibre > 1 med banana = 4.2gm of fibre > 1/2C of oats = 9gm of fibre > 1 carrot = 3gm of fibre > 1/2C of peas = 4.5gm of fibre > 1/2C broccoli = 3gm of fibre > 1/2C of cooked quinoa = 2.5gm of fibre > 1/2C of cooked brown rice = 2 gm of fibre It’s so easy to find amounts by checking on the web if you’re interested in seeing where you’re at. It’s important for long term health to be inquisitive, open to changes based on your learnings and to keep being your best private detective on all things you. Fibre pluses ~ many of the benefits flow on from the fibre feeding your microbiota. ~ helps bulk your stools so your body can eliminate properly. ~ flushes out unwanted toxins, cholesterol & hormones otherwise they can be recirculated. Ideally you do not want that. ~ keeps you fuller for longer so say good bye to afternoon chocolate snacks. So go fibre up your system and see how it makes you feel. Hugs Fee

15.01.2022 | HAPPY INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY | What a blessing it is to be a woman at this time. I spend a lot of time nurturing my boy tribe which I love but there is something special when I take the time to hang with my women tribes. Yesterday I spent a day at a conference, expanding my views and eyes on being in my nutritional medicine profession. ... Ending with a beautiful dinner with two fellow nutritionist’s that I rely on for guidance, mentoring and support. Without these women I would be isolated and stuck. Creating a professional circle around me has been integral to my success. Women tribes free you from the burden of life and remind you of your purpose. They see it when sometimes you don’t. So let’s celebrate ourselves as a woman and all the women we touch with our lives. Sprinkle them with golden dust and love no matter where they are from or what they are enduring.

15.01.2022 | EASY DINNER | Swedish meatballs on the menu tonight plus I was going to make a vegetarian dinner for me a lovely roasted tomato, egg plant pasta with mozzarella thingy. I’ll cook it tomorrow instead. I’ve had a big day so changed my cooking plans to be kinder to me and we’ll all dive into the meatballs as there are plenty to go around. They are yummy. ... Did you notice the parsley looks so much better stirred through, a touch of green. I’ll serve with rice and steamed broccoli. All worked out in the end especially when I took the kinder path for me.

08.01.2022 BE PROACTIVE 6 points I advise to have on your radar as a women who is 45+, you know it's so much easier to be proactive than reactive as we age. Proactiveness lays the foundation. ... It makes you take responsibility rather than letting the situation/symptom/condition(s) be the driving force. And yes it initially it feels uncomfortable. I've noticed with clients who are more proactive they allow their values to determine their choices. This is because they have done the work and have a clear plan. It probably looks easy from the outside but I can assure you there has probably been a lot of grit to get to that position. Self-care really can be overwhelming at times and if it were so easy then everybody would be doing it 100% of the time. If you're thinking...cricky I don't know where to start, well I'm starting up my nutritional consults in February 2021 and I would love to help get you in a proactive position with your health, body and life.

07.01.2022 | MOVING ONLINE | Firstly, how are you all going? Me.i’m spending more time sitting and breathing and just connecting with me. It’s even more important when we are living in a time of change. Even going shopping today made my heart race everyone was just grabbing at stuff and altercations at the checkout. I just stood there closed my eyes connected with my breath and reassured myself. ... You have no idea how these little things just calm and allow you to move on. I’m hearing from clients who are dealing with overwhelm on top of having to support their immediate families and parents. UPDATE ON MY PRACTISE My practise is now going to be fully run online for the next six months. Due to changes in the way businesses are having to operate I have been given permission to see all new and existing clients online through Skype and Zoom. Most of mine is online anyway the only difference is I won’t get to see you in the flesh and do all my physical examinations like blood pressure etc. So if you're feeling overwhelmed and need nutritional support, then get in touch or send me a message. I look forward to hearing from you I have put in the comments a link to my booking system.

07.01.2022 | AM I FLOURISHING? | Have you ever asked yourself the above question? And if not would you be open to taking some time to ponder what this means for you? I wish I had the magic blueprint but truly what I’ve witnessed with all women in my clinic is that it’s quite different for each of us. ... So that is the question I’ve been asking myself all week. The longer I sat with it the clearer I got. For me to flourish I need to focus more on: Routines especially my morning and evening rituals. This lightens my load because I don’t have to think about what’s next, I just do. This takes the pressure off my million and one ideas I have circulatingomg it’s my magic but poison all at the same time ha ha. I’ve decided Sunday night I will plan my week. I’ll share more next week. So, it was really quite simple but does it tick off everything? Hell no! that list is way too long and never ending. For me it’s really all about my small steps leading into my daily moments. You’re probably working out by now that I think and feel deeply. For a long time, I would keep it all to myself & get all twisted and knotted up. Over the years I’ve learnt to be more open and are now enjoying the intimacy this brings. I’ve really only just started this year sharing more of myself on my socials. Can you be brave and sit with this question? What comes up first comment below and let’s chat?

06.01.2022 SMOOTHIE TO GO This should keep me going for hours. I’m really enjoying a change in the way I eat. I’m not following any guru or new fad diet. I’ve just slowly and intuitively (how food makes me feel) tweaked the way I eat. My main aim atm is to support my bowels. Having endometriosis and a bladder prolapse (thanks child birth) I was feeling constipated. So I’ve lightened up my food, eating less and have included more fruit, vege and water. ... This has all happened over the year. Slowly but surely and my awareness has helped pave the way. So in my smoothie is strawberries, banana, steamed broccoli (leftovers), peanut butter, walnuts, sunflower and pumpkin seeds, water and protein powder. Off to my group PT session now. Have a great day and weekend.

03.01.2022 ||CREAMY LEMONY CHICKEN || New recipe...trying to make a change from my usual chicken breast dish. I made this in my pressure cooker but it’s also easy to make in a pan on the stove. ... 3 breasts into pan or pressure cooker. Add in 1 cup or so of chicken stock. Herbs- basil, oregano, S+P and lemon rind. Let it poach till cooked or cook in PC for 12 minutes. Take the chicken out and let it rest. Now thicken the remaining sauce. I used rice flour but corn flour would work. Before that add some lemon juice and 1/2 a cup of cream of choice. Place chicken back and let it sit till your ready. I’ll slice the chicken before serving, cook rice and steam some green beans. The sauce tastes great...just saying.

02.01.2022 | HYDRATE WITH WATER | I've got my own system for ensuring I drink my water intake per day. My favourite glass is 1/2L so all I need to do is drink 2 glasses in the am and repeat in the pm. Somedays I have more. Generally we need around 2 litres per day and more if it’s hot, we’re sick or exercising. ... Some interesting facts; 1 We are made up of about 60% water including our blood which is about 90%. 2 It lubricates our joints as our cartilage (found in our joints and disks of the spine) are about 80% water. 3 It forms your saliva and mucous keeping your mouth, nose and eyes moist and free from damage. 4 It helps maintain blood pressure because if the blood is thicker due to lack of water it’s harder to pump around. 5 It helps your digestive system and kidneys remove waste from your body. 6 Finally the body can’t produce water hence why I bang on about drinking 2L /day give or take. How many glasses of water have you had today? Some symptoms are feeling tired, dry mouth, headache and bowels get stuck. Not signing up for that so I'll just keep that water trickling into my body.

02.01.2022 |THE TORTOISE & THE HARE | I love this story and right now its playing a really big part in my transformation for 2020. The fable The Tortoise and the Hare, is a gorgeous story reminding us that fast doesn’t always win us the race and that there is an alternative pace on offer which still gets us to our end point. It does though require presence, mindfulness and a slow and steady pace. Are you up for that?... You see I’m an Aries. Strong minded and determined, a great strength to have. Through my life I have never let something go, if I couldn’t find someone to do it withwell I went on my own. I have this amazing force to make things happen. It’s a trait I really love about myself, but now I’m nearing 50 I can see this force isn’t working so much for me anymore. I feel tired, isolated and sometimes a little lost. I’ve realised it’s a sign to change; if I choose to listen. I don’t see it as a negative it’s just a tap on my shoulder to start looking for a new way at managing how I do things. A different pace. 2020 is about purposefully slowing down, honouring all aspects of my life like being a mother, a wife, a daughter, a sister, a friend and also running two businesses. Honestly sometimes it has got quite overwhelming as all these parts tap on my shoulder for attention. So as the tortoise does I shall take each slow step, learning this new way of being rather than racing to the finish. I will slide and groove graciously and at some point look back in wonder as I cross that line to feel the joy of what happened in between. How’s your pace right now? Do you need a different pace? #womenshealth #slowingdown #proactive #listening #comeworkwithme #brisbanenutritionist #newhorizons #beautyoflife See more

01.01.2022 | 1 CUP OF VEGE OMELETTE | Using left over vege from last night. Heat in the pan. Throw in 2-3 eggs over the top. Slightly stir. Then remove off the heat when eggs are cooked. Took kids on an early morning bike ride. So this was just what I needed to refuel my body. Day 5 of isolation. ... It hasn’t been that bad but I haven’t done any work or seen clients. Still trying to organise the kids and keep them fed and occupied. Slowly working through my working plans. The biggest thing I’m working through is my lack of alone time . Staying open, eating good food, keep my water intake up. Breathing !!!! How are you coping with being in isolation? Fee #brisbanenutritionist #lookafteryou #eatyaveges #eggs #omelette See more

01.01.2022 | MENOPAUSE + THREE FORMS OF EXERCISE | THE STUDY The nerd in me loves reading research articles, it gives me inspiration and a lot to think about. So with this latest study I came across which, was done in 2012 (check below for reference) established with 2 groups of women who were post-menopausal; first group exercised regularly for the past year against a group that didn’t (there were other parameters used to make the study.) Their telomeres lengths were measured a...nd compared. JUST SO YOU KNOW Telomeres are little caps that sit around the end part of our chromosomes and their job is to stop the ends from fraying or sticking to each other. They make sure our DNA gets copied properly when cells divide and as we age our DNA strands get shorter and shorter with every cell division. So you want to support these telomeres by looking after your body as much as possible and one of the ways is regular exercise. THE RESULT Those in the exercising group had longer telomeres and as you’ve just read above how important they are well hopefully this is another reason to start exercising your body if you are not currently. THREE KEY TYPES OF EXERCISES 1 Cardio and doing it daily. It might be walking, running, biking, dancing anything that exercises the heart muscles which also has an added benefit of the impact keeping your bones strong. 2 Lifting weights to get stronger. This helps to keep your muscle which is extremely important as we age. Don’t use it you lose it as the saying goes. Yoga is also a good exercise that uses body weight. 3 Balance training. This could be yoga or even spending 5 or 10 minutes doing different balancing exercises. Tree pose is good for example. These exercises are great for co-ordination, keeps you supple your brain wired. REMEMBER -> To start small and slowly when including these aspects mentioned. -> Your aim is to be consistent not just have one good month. -> Remember each small step adds up over time. If you’re struggling or injured then I recommend you see a professional like a personal trainer or yoga teacher to assist you with getting started again. See more

01.01.2022 | HEARTFELT CONVERSATIONS | I had the most beautiful hour on Sunday morning chatting to Nicola, a friend and storyteller from NZ who has spent the last year having purposeful conversations with women on the cusp of 50. She decided to record these conversations in her fiftieth year, asking the same 3 questions in a 10 minute period. At some point, she’ll turn these recordings into something which I just can’t wait to see what unfolds. It was truely beautiful to have a c...onversation about nearing 50. It felt so joyful and meaningful to be able to share my story in a heartfelt way. It made me realise how important it is to make time for meaningful conversations. When was the last time you had a conversation that made you go a little deeper than normal but left you feeling heard, light and energised?
