24.01.2022 Tip #3 - Don’t rush it. Slow and steady wins the race when it comes to making healthy change with your kids
23.01.2022 Last day in clinic for 2020. I will be back for consultations on 4th January 2021 after some much needed time off Wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. #enjoyallthefoodyoulove #christmas #covidchristmas #tistheseason #familytime #relax #sydneynutritionist
22.01.2022 Home made ice blocks for summer means ditching the added sugar and artificial ingredients. But home made can sometimes illicit stress when trying to be #pinterestperfect In the past I would attempt all the fancy recipes that would take too much time, cost too much money and involve way too much clean up. I invested so much into these healthy ice blocks that I would be frustrated and disappointed when the kids didn’t eat them (or worse still they would eat them and I would ha...ve to make more ) Fast forward a few years and I have learned to accept that making amazing treats are not my strength. Our fav summer treat consists of buying a quality juice from the shop, pouring into moulds and freezing. And you know what? My boys love them and we actually enjoy the process of making them together. This batch is apple, pear and blueberry. Easy treats that really are easy for everyone, you are welcome #ditchthemumguilt #easytreats #kidsinthekitchen #additivefree #noaddedsugar #summertreats #healthyiceblocks #forgetperfection #nailedit
20.01.2022 Healthy change tip #4
16.01.2022 Symptom clusters I look for in clinic. In kids, we can’t always get a blood test (or testing isn’t reliable) so I need to look for signs and symptoms for deficiencies You may notice some of the symptoms overlap. This is why it is important to look at signs and symptoms in a holistic way rather than in isolation The symptoms also cross over many body systems including skin, digestion and neurological which is why I look at the body as a whole rather than each body system indiv...idually How do we know which symptoms indicate which deficiency? By knowing the biochemistry of nutrients and how they are utilised in the body we can understand how the physical and emotional presentations relate It’s just not possible to dive into all of this in 15 minutes which is why my initial consults consist of a full HOUR of case history and questions In a time of such food abundance it is difficult to believe that nutrient deficiencies are so common but they are #nutrientdeficiencies #nutritionalmedicine #kidshealth #symptoms #fussyeater #anger #insomnia #constipation #anxiety #sydneynutritionist
14.01.2022 When chicken Caesar salad is on the menu but your hair test identifies chicken and lettuce as incompatible foods, it’s time to make substitutes. Enter pork and rocket which were actually really yummy and I even forgot that it wasn’t chicken!! Sometimes we need something to shake things up a bit and encourage change and variety. #biocompatibilty #individualnutrition
14.01.2022 My New Years resolution was to read for 10 minutes per day and tonight I had company 10 minutes isn’t much and I don’t normally make New Years resolutions but reading is something I have been wanting to do for myself but never quite got around to. I’m loving my time of quiet and it usually ends up more than 10 mins, look forward to this becoming a new habit #newyearsresolution #selfcare #bookworm #mumofboys
12.01.2022 Tip #5 Phase foods in If you find yourself thinking my child will never eat that then this is the strategy for you! Reduce the stress when getting your kids to try new foods by transitioning them into existing meals. A gradual phase in allows their taste buds to adjust and creates an environment for success. You can also phase foods out ... You know your child best, so phase it in as slowly as you need. Remember it’s all about progress, not perfection #healthychange #healthykids #easydoesit #phaseitin #progressnotperfection #fussykids #childrenshealth #sydneynutritionist
11.01.2022 Success can be infectious but resist the urge to move onto the next thing too quickly. Kids are widely unpredictable and just because they have eaten something once, doesn’t mean they will eat it next time!! Make sure you’ve really nailed it before moving on to the next change. Remember, it’s about forming new habits which take time Progress NOT perfection... #healthychanges #healthyhabits #healthyeating #dontrush #easydoesit #childrenshealth #sydneynutritionist #nutritiontips
07.01.2022 What if I told you that these are also symptoms of hypoglycaemia or low blood sugar levels? When the available glucose in our bloodstream becomes too low, it creates an emergency situation in the body leading to a stress response and release of stress hormones such as adrenaline There can be many reasons you may become hypoglycaemic and they include: Skipping meals... Eating sugary foods or drinks that spike your blood glucose levels too quickly and to dangerous levels. The body responds by releasing lots of insulin which in turn brings them down too quickly leaving you with blood glucose that is too low Eating inadequate calories Excessive high intensity or strenuous exercise. If you push your body too hard without adequate fuel, you can deplete your blood glucose levels faster than they can be replenished Stress this is usually the biggest culprit and throws the body out of whack. While we should be able to handle skipping a meal or having low calories from time to time, the presence of stress means our bodies have elevated stress hormones and we just can’t cope well. Nutritional deficiencies can mean the ability for our bodies to cope with stress is reduced and the mechanism of the stress response means we deplete our nutrients more quickly and so the cycle continues So if you or your child struggles with anxiety, hypoglycaemia could be the culprit or at the very least exacerbate symptoms You can achieve healthy blood glucose balance by including quality protein and fats in meals.

02.01.2022 Tip #4 - Have a replacement When removing foods, find a healthier alternative to replace with it first. Making a swap reduces the sense of deprivation and avoids the stress of what to feed your child when they get hungry Try to make it a like for like swap to get them on board... #healthychanges #healthyeating #childrenshealth #dontstopitswapit #sydneynutritionist
