24.01.2022 FEEDING THERAPY. The aim of feeding therapy is systematic desensitisation to food. Eating new foods is the ultimate aim, but that is way down the track.... Getting a child in the same room as a new food is the first goal. Then there is a gradual process to get them to touch and interact with a new food. Today’s session ended with the little boy taking each bean, each blueberry, each apple slice and pushing it through the netting to the chickens. He touched each piece of food and loved it! The next time he sees these foods, he will have happy memories associated with them. #backyardchickens #feedingtherapy #chickensofinstagram #asd #autismawareness #sensoryprocessingdisorder #kidshealth #fussyeaters #nutrition #nutritioncoach #nutritionist #naturalhealth #playwithyourfood #wollongong #wollongongmums

24.01.2022 GLUTEN FREE DOES NOT MEAN HEALTHY I have been totally gluten free for many years, and I take many of my client off gluten, at least for a trial. But it is really important to realise that a food which is labelled gluten free is not necessarily healthy! ... In fact, if it comes in a packet, it isn’t really that healthy at all. Take this cake as another example. It is totally gluten free, made from hazelnuts and almonds. But it has lots of sugar! This is fine for special occasions (it’s my husbands birthday), but it wouldn’t be wise to eat this every week! We are really going to enjoy this rare treat! #notsugarfree #glutenfree #grainfree #cake #birthdayboy #illawarra #wollongong #coalcoastnsw #almondmeal #glutenfreerecipes #nutrition #nutritionist

24.01.2022 Kid friendly meal inspo! As mentioned in my previous post, presentation is everything! Try presenting healthy food in a fun way that grabs your children's attention. Putting veggies in fun shapes or preparing them differently can help encourage healthier eating patterns. Head over to my website for more info and ideas ...

23.01.2022 MIGRAINES AND HORMONES I’ve had hormonal migraines since I was a teenager. It has taken a lot of trial and error, and investigation to get them under control. As with most conditions, I do not think there is one magic bullet. There isn’t one supplement or one diet change that fixes everything.... Things that have really helped my migraines include: Avoiding refined sugar Eating a mostly paleo diet Doing quite a lot of exercise Massage Making sure I am detoxifying my hormones well. Homeopathy Things that will work really well for a lot of people, but didn’t really work for me: Gluten free diet Magnesium Feverfew (the herb) Avoiding amines in food One tool in my tool box is broccoli sprout powder. This contains a compound called indole-3-carbinole which helps with oestrogen detoxification. I would say that the claim on the side of the container that says it is delicious and fun if absolutely no true. It is neither delicious nor fun, but works really well .

23.01.2022 FROZEN YOGHURT POPSICLES It's always handy to have healthy and easy to make snacks in the freezer or fridge for the kids when they come home from school, or especially now since its school holidays! I absolutely love making these frozen yoghurt ice creams and they can be dairy free if needed! I love using coconut cream or yoghurt as the base! ... Try and source some silicone ice cream moulds and if you're naughty like me... You can also add the batter to ice cube trays for a lovely adult late-night snack _______________________________ #food #foodporn #foodie #instafood #foodphotography #foodstagram #yummy #instagood #love #foodblogger #foodlover #delicious #follow #like #healthyfood #homemade #photooftheday #dinner #foodgasm #foodies #picoftheday #tasty #cooking #lunch #bhfyp #restaurant #instagram #eat #bhfyp See more

21.01.2022 DIET DRINKS / ARTIFICIAL SWEETENERS I have had lots of conversations this week about artificial sweeteners, and why they are best avoided. This is why......... When your body consumes something containing an artificial sweetener, it thinks is is sugar, and releases insulin! So even though that diet drink is sugar free, your body acts like it isn’t! The more insulin your body releases, the more fat you will store. Numerous studies have shown that having diet drinks will not lead to any more weight loss that sugar containing drinks! Artificial sweeteners contribute to leaky gut. This leads to all sorts of issues such as food intolerances, rashes and autoimmunity. They are chemicals, not food : Just eat real food, not chemicals whose names you cannot pronounce . #dietcoke #dietsoda #dietdrink #weightloss #insulinresistance #sugar #sugarfree #leakygut #autoimmunedisease #headache #nutrition #nutritionist #justeatrealfood #wollongong #illawarra #woonona

21.01.2022 LEMON BALM PESTO My lemon balm has gone crazy, and needed a trim! An excellent way to use a big quantity of herb is to make a pesto. Traditionally this would be made from basil, but tonight it was made from lemon balm.... Lemon balm is from the mint family, but, as the name suggests, tastes lemony. As a herb, is has lots of medicinal properties, such as for anxiety, stress and insomnia. To make the pesto: a handful of lemon balm about a third of a cup of pine nuts a good glug of olive oil a pinch of salt Just blitz it up in a food processor, and HEY PESTO PS it got the kid tick of approval #herbalmedicine #foodismedicine #growyourownfood #eatyourgreens #nutrition #backyardgarden #naturalhealth #pesto #illawarra #wollongongmums #wollongong #kidsfood #antiviral #anxiolytic #stressrelief

19.01.2022 Are you or your kids getting enough magnesium?? The statistics are out and as turns out, 80% of Australians are magnesium deficient!! When you are low in magnesium, your body pulls magnesium from the bones to help keep the magnesium within normal range. This increases the risk of fractures, osteopenia and osteoporosis. ... Magnesium is also excreted via our sweat! If you're a sweaty betty, maybe you're an exercise and gym nut, or you are playing sport a few times per week... then your requirements are much higher in magnesium than others Magnesium deficiency is also prevalent amongst children and adults with ADHD. Supplementation for longer than 3 months may help to reduce hyperactivity symptoms. ________________________ #magnesium #magnesiumdeficiency #adhd #hyperactive #health #healthy #healthyfood #healthylifestyle #healthyliving #instahealth #healthiswealth #virus #fitness #workout #plantbased #vegan #vegetarian #nutrition #healthyeating #mindfulness #mentalhealth #wellness #exercise

17.01.2022 How can berries help asthma??? Did you know there is research that shows that an increased risk of asthma may be due to a deficiency in antioxidants? Antioxidants can reduce inflammation of the airways and the lungs and also protect them from anything irritating them. Antioxidants are abundant in fresh and frozen berries such as blackberries (pictured), raspberries, blueberries, inca berries + mulberries.... 1 x Serving of berries everyday has been shown to reduce the incidence of wheezing!

17.01.2022 ROSEMARY I am counting down the days until I can make liquid herb mixes for my clients (next year!). Rosemary will be one on high rotation, as it has so many benefits!... Good for your brain and memory Regulates blood sugar Good for hormone clearance An easy way to include Rosemary in your diet is roasted potatoes! I just grabbed some Rosemary from the garden (so easy to grow). Blitzed it in the thermomix with salt Sprinkled on potatoes with some olive oil. 20 min in air fryer #rosemary #herbs #herbalmedicine #dinnertime #foodgarden #potatoes #kidsfood #nutrition #nutritionist #foodismedicine #illawarra #wollongong #coalcoastnsw

16.01.2022 HIDING SUPPLEMENTS I frequently get asked by parents how to get their kids to take supplements. Some kids will take herbs and vitamins really easy, especially if they get used to it when they are very young.... Other kids take a lot more persuasion. I find home made ice blocks a really useful vehicle for supplements. Ice moulds are easy to find in IKEA or Kmart. Just put a daily dose of the supplement in a mould, and top up with a good quality juice. Laying them on their side to freeze will ensure there is an even distribution of supplement along the length of the ice block. #kidshealth #kidsnutrition #healthyliving #nutrition #nutritioncoach #nutritionist #wollongong #illawarra #coalcoastnsw #vitamin #fussyeaters #pickyeaters

16.01.2022 ECZEMA I am seeing a huge increase in the number of children in clinic with eczema. A combination of extremely cold, dry weather, and a dramatic increase in hand washing and hand sanitising may be partially responsible.... The conventional treatment for eczema involves steroid creams. There are some issues with that...... If you put steroid creams on a little person, you can be covering a very large % of their skin with steroids. This increases the likelihood of it being absorbed. Kids put their hands in their mouths. A lot. So if you have steroid cream all over them, there is a high change some of that is getting ingested. Steroid creams will increase the chance of skin getting infected with things like S. aureus. That is because they inhibit the immune system of the skin. If you need to use steroid creams on your child to manage a flare, work on getting to the root cause also. There is something going on internally for your child, that will not be fixed with a steroid cream. Don’t read this and stop using steroid creams immediately. Another major problem with steroids is that when you stop using them, there is a rebound affect. Your skin will be worse than ever if you stop steroids abruptly after a course of treatment. Instead, make an appointment with me, and work out what the root cause is. Then start to taper off the cream. #eczema #eczemarelief #eczemahealing #eczemababy #naturalhealing #naturalhealth #naturopathy #naturopathic #foodallergies #foodallergyawareness #foodallergymom #guthealth #guthealing #guthealthmatters #nutrition #nutritioncoach #nutritionist #kidshealth #illawarra #coalcoastnsw

16.01.2022 ARANCINI BALLS I never waste food.....so I have made our chicken risotto from last night into ARANCINI balls for tomorrow’s lunch box (with some sweet potato chips on the side). This risotto is made with organic chicken stock, to incorporate lots of gut healthy nutrients.... It is also loaded with garlic and onion, which are a great source of prebiotic fibre to feed good bacteria. Even if your child will only eat white food, you can still blend up onions and garlic and add them to foods. #lunch #lunchbox #lunchideas #guthealth #prebiotics #kidsfood #arancini #waronwaste #wastenotwantnot #guthealthmatters #justeatrealfood #illawarra #wollongongmums #fussyeaters #pickyeaters #rice #kidslunchideas #kidslunchbox

15.01.2022 HOW TO COMBAT ADULT ACNE You're all grown up and only now you're starting to get acne!!

14.01.2022 FOOD EXPLORATION Even if you choose purées as your weaning method for your child (not baby lead weaning), it is important to give your child a ‘hard munchable’ food also, ever meal or snack time. The point of this is not for your child to eat it the hard food. The point is to allow your child to practice having a hard solid food in their mouth. ... The chosen food needs to be small enough to fit in their mouth, but too big for them to take a bite. Having one hand on the food, whilst the other end is in the mouth allows the child to learn how to move food around in their mouth. This will desensitise your child’s tongue. The risk of choking is very low as long as the food is too big for the child to take a bite. A big fat raw carrot will not be able to be bitten through by a child who is eating purées as their main food. All the same, never ever ever let a child eat alone, in case something happens (and also because eating is a social experience, and kids learn to eat from watching others). #startingsolids #babyledweaning #sosfeedingtherapy #feedingtherapy #kids #kidsfood #kidshealth #kidshealthyfood #kidsnutrition #babies #babyfood #wollongongmums #momlife #illawarramumsandbubs #nutritionist

14.01.2022 ORGANIC FOOD Feeling super organised to have an organic beef casserole in the slow cooker by 9am on a 28 degree day . The perils of meal planning without checking the rather forecast. One change that I recommend most of my patients make is to choose organic food as much as they can.... Of course it is more expensive, but there are a few ways to offset that: Grow your own! Green leafy veggies and herbs are so easy to grow you own. As long as you do a bit of research and avoid chemicals, your garden will be organic Buy a box of seasonal organic fruit and veg from a coop or spray free / organic farm. This works out much cheaper than buying from the supermarket. Buy organic meat direct from farmer. I get 20kg organic beef dropped straight into my freezer once a month But why? Organic food tastes better. You will never go back to a conventional apple once you’ve tasted organic. Non organic fruit and veg are sprayed with glyphosate. This is like taking a low dose antibiotic permanently, and very bad for your gut health. Non organic livestock are fed a lot of antibiotics - which you then eat when you eat non organic meat. Ultimately this use of antibiotics is jeopardising the usefulness of antibiotics in humans. Pesticides cause oxidative stress in our body, affecting how well we (and our kids) can detoxify. This can lead to many issues with physical and mental health.

13.01.2022 FRITTER OR FALAFEL?? I’ve been having some serious falafel cravings this week! I got addicted to falafel after spending a summer in Israel when I was at Uni (the first time ). Maybe I overdosed on them, as my last child has a severe chickpea and less severe sesame allergy (the 2 main ingredients in falafel).... So I can’t make proper falafel, or order them when we are out to dinner as a family, as he would react if I gave him a hug or kiss after eating them. Instead, I am working on some chickpea / sesame free falafel. These ones are made with cannellini beans, zucchini and buckwheat. I definitely don’t have the consistency right yet, so I won’t share. They still tasted good, and fulfilled my falafel craving! #recipedevelopment #falafel #chickpeas #allergymom #middleeasternfood #glutenfree #dairyfree #plantbased #lunchtime #fritters #babyledweaning #babyleadweaningideas #fingerfood #illawarra #nutritionist #nutritioncoach #nutrition

13.01.2022 No surprise that I see high levels of arsenic in my patients then..... it’s getting dumped into our creeks. Having high arsenic levels in your body will make you tired, difficult to lose weight and make your hair fall out . https://www.abc.net.au//south32-mine-discharge-in/12670060

13.01.2022 Part of feeding therapy is taking a step back to when the child started solids, and going through many of the normal steps that happen at that time. 6 month old babies put food on their head, it’s one way they explore the food. So in feeding therapy, putting food on our head is one way to explore the food, and it gets the food closer to the ultimate goal of going in the mouth.... This is all systematic desensitisation to food. You would be amazed how effective this is at reducing children’s anxiety about food. And it’s a lot of fun! #wollongong #illawarra #feedingtherapy #pickyeaters #fussyeaters #autism #sensoryprocessingdisorder #sensoryplay #coalcoastnsw #foodtherapy #nutrition #nutritioncoach #nutritionist #naturalhealing

13.01.2022 FLAXSEEDS / LINSEEDS Flaxseeds have been consumed as a food for many thousands of years. Back home in Northern Ireland, flax used to be a major crop, but to make linen, rather than as a food source ... When you buy linseeds, you need to buy them whole, as they are much more stable like this. But to get maximum benefit, you should grind them before eating, or they will come out the way they went in (undigested). Reasons why I ‘prescribe’ linseeds to people include: Hormonal issues Constipation High cholesterol/ triglycerides Insulin resistance This bread I made this morning is predominately linseeds, with cinnamon (also awesome for regulating blood sugar), goji berries and eggs. It’s one of the recipes I hand out to clients a lot! #linseeds #flaxseed #hormonebalance #hormonehealth #pcos #insulinresistance #type2diabetes #cholesterol #guthealth #guthealthmatters #constipation #ibs #healthyfood #healthyliving #glutenfree #grainfree #paleorecipes #illawarra #nutritionist

12.01.2022 I am going to add group SOS feeding therapy in 2021. That will mean having about 4 children in a session, instead of just one. The advantage of this is that it will bring down the cost, compared to one on one therapy. Peer group support from other kids can be useful for some age groups.... To do this successfully, I need to match children by developmental stage, so the group is all at the same level. If you are interested in group feeding therapy next year, please send me a message with you child’s details. I will see if I can coordinate different groups for different levels. #feedingtherapy #fussybaby #fussyeaters #fussyeater #pickyeaters #foodanxiety #foodissues #childrenshealth #kidshealth #illawarra #coalcoastnsw #autism #sensoryprocessingdisorder #asd #nutrition #nutritioncoach

12.01.2022 WHAT IS AN AUTOIMMUNE DISEASE! It's a disease that occurs when our natural immune system defence goes out of control and attacks your body instead of attacking bugs and bacteria. Widespread inflammation from certain diet, lifestyle and environmental factors can also trigger this immune reaction and ultimately lead to autoimmunity. There is loads of research now on how the gut microbiome influences autoimmune disease risk. A healthy gut regulates our immune sys...tem and helps prevent it from over reacting. Bad bacteria can cause widespread inflammation which triggers an immune response and can lead to autoimmune conditions. If you have a diagnosed autoimmune condition it is so important to seek support with a qualified practitioner. We can work together to find the drivers of your condition to support proper healing within.

12.01.2022 FISH FOR KIDS My kids LOVE salmon, they have done since they were babies, so we have it at least once a week. I have an over abundance of herbs in my garden (thanks to COVID), see needing to make sure I use as many as possible. ... Tonight’s dinner was salmon with dill. Lots of kids struggle to chew ‘real’ meat, so they gravitate towards chicken nuggets (which are essentially pre-chewed). Fish is great for these kids as there is very little chewing required. Fish is a great source of protein and high in essential fatty acids, so lots of good reasons to eat it regularly. #kidsfood #fishfordinner #kidshealth #protein #essentialfattyacids #brainfood #pickyeaters #fussyeater #feeding #wollongong #illawarra #coalcoastnsw #nutrition #nutritionist #dinnertime

12.01.2022 ECZEMA One of the issues I deal with a lot is eczema (in kids and adults!). It is so much more than a skin condition and it needs a whole body approach to get on top of it....

11.01.2022 So wonderful to see research like this being conducted. https://www.dovepress.com/the-relationship-between-the-leve# A study just published last week confirms the link between mercury toxicity and autism, as well as lead toxicity and autism.... It also confirms that hair testing is a great way to assess toxic elements in hair. Get in touch if you would like to do some testing on yourself or your child.

11.01.2022 I come across lead poisoning often in kids. Often ADHD is actually lead poisoning. Other times it can present as persistent constipation or chronic headaches.... Spices from overseas can have colours added to make them more attractive, and these colours can be made from lead. So if your child has: Inattention or hyperactivity chronic constipation despite a good diet frequent headaches .....get in touch to discuss if lead could be an issue. https://apple.news/AsuuPw1XsOvCWtEswlyeJ1Q

11.01.2022 As well as being an extremely cute squirrel video, this is also a good example of the reaction many little kids will get when feeding! If a child / baby gets overwhelmed at a meal time, they may 'freeze', just like the squirrel! If that happens:... Clear the space in front of them - maybe they are being too stimulated by too many foods and utensils on their table or tray. Allow them to wipe their hands on a face cloth, to remove overstimulation from food on their hands. https://www.facebook.com/MetroUK/videos/2736090303385830

10.01.2022 LUNCHES DONE On Sunday, I prep Monday and Tuesday lunches / school snacks for the 3 kids. Which means my fridge is packed to the brim right now ....

10.01.2022 DOES GLUTEN MAKE PSORIASIS WORSE? Psoriasis is a very tricky condition that is usually caused by some type of inflammatory response inside our bodies. After seeing many client's with psoriasis, the key feature of my treatment plan is to remove all inflammatory triggers from the diet. Gluten is a double edged sword. One one hand, many people without autoimmune or inflammatory conditions can usually tolerate gluten well however, with my client's who do have autoimmunity, ...gluten may encourage more systemic inflammation and possibly make the condition worse. Gluten can trigger excessive amounts of interleukin-1 and interleukin-18. These Interleukin guys are actually responsible for generating inflammatory responses inside our bodies which can lead to more autoimmune diseases and inflammation.

10.01.2022 FEEDING THERAPY This was my ‘clinic’ today. One of my little feeding therapy clients was very keen to play in the cubby house I have in the woods. So I set up a little tea party in there for us.... Nature therapy and feeding therapy rolled into one Her engagement with food sky rocketed in these surroundings! I am currently scheduling my feeding therapy clients for Term 1 next year.

09.01.2022 ACNE I had shocking acne when I was younger. From about age 13 to 25, when I took Roaccutane. Roaccutane is an awful, awful drug.... Everyone gets really dry skin with it - think Vaseline in your nostrils . Some people will get liver issues with it, such as high cholesterol. It leads to birth defects if you get pregnant on it, and there is little info available in the effect on future babies (I have my own theories on this) It can cause very serious mental health issues. I feel very strongly about helping teenagers avoid this drug. There are simple dietary changes than can help reduce acne. Avoid dairy Eat a low glycemic diet. There are also supplements that can help, including Zinc Probiotics specifically for acne. Acne can be a very serious issue, and people can feel like there are no other options except roaccutane. Please get in touch if you or your teenager needs help with this. #acne #acnetreatment #roaccutane #roaccutanejourney #skincare #skin #skinhealth #pimples #dairyfree #paleo #lowglycemic #teenager #acneproblems #nutrition #nutritioncoach #naturalhealth #wollongong #illawarra #coalcoastnsw

09.01.2022 What is the holistic perspective of asthma? The holistic perspective is a way of looking at the whole picture of why your child has asthma. Using research, we endeavour to understand the triggers on a biomedical level. During the initial 1:1 consultation, we explore the reasons and certain aspects of what might be potentially triggering your child's asthma. We then work together on these issues with dietary and lifestyle changes that may help to reduce the incidence of... your child's asthma. If you're interested in a consult then DM me for availabilities.

08.01.2022 DOES DIET AFFECT ACNE? I am a teensy bit bitter that through my teens and early 20s, when I was suffering from severe acne, I was told that what I ate didn’t matter to my skin. In my early 20s I was working in quality control in a chocolate factor, eating huge quantities of sugar every day. Of course that mattered!... I had acne not only on my face, but also my chest and back. Now I know that what I was eating had EVERYTHING to do with my acne. Here are a few FACTS about diet and acne. Cultures who still eat a traditional whole foods diet do have ANY acne. Hormonal chemicals such as insulin like growth factor are found in dairy, which makes skin produce more oily. Studies show that even a 2 week trial with a reduction in sugar and glycemic load was helpful in adults with moderate and severe acne So next time you are told that your skin health is not related to what you eat, let them know these facts. #acne #acnetreatment #acneproneskin #skin #skinhealth #naturalskin #naturalacnetreatment #saynotoroaccutane #guthealth #naturopathicdermatology #illawarra #wollongong #coalcoastnsw #teengirl #nutrition #nutritionist

07.01.2022 Stumped on what to put in your kids lunches this term? Trying to think and decide on healthy and nutritious food can be quite challenging at times, especially when making the same food over and over again. This time I made kangaroo meatballs and they turned out delish!! Kangaroo meat is one of the most sustainable meats you can buy. On the plus side, it is HIGH in iron too! Great for kids who are low in iron. ... I browned half of these in the pan and baked in the oven. The rest I chucked in the freezer for next time when I need something easy to make for school lunches. Comment below if you want the recipe!!

07.01.2022 REAL FOOD FEEDING THERAPY My feeding therapy sessions are different. My feeding therapy uses real food.... People often ask if it is too late for their 5 year old / 6 year old / 7 year old to do feeding therapy. My wish for all kids is that they live into their 80s.

06.01.2022 DETOX TIME It’s been a head-achey sort of week, which means it’s time a detox. Headaches can be due to an overburdened liver - toxins, hormones etc.... That’s is definitely the case for me.....even 2 glasses of wine will give me a 2 day migraine . To to give my liver a little boost, I do a detox, about once a year. The way I do that is to go back and do GAPS intro. (GAPS = gut and psychology syndrome, am intense but effective gut healing diet). Which means for the next few weeks, I’ll be eating lots of soup and meat . Pain is very motivating, so although the diet is hard, I find it to be worthwhile. In the past when I have done this, I have stayed totally headache free for about 6 months. So this is all my veggies, prepped and read to add to my chicken stock and beef stock tomorrow morning.

05.01.2022 Did you know there is stress receptors inside of your skin cells? Corticotropin-releasing hormone & adrenocorticotropin are both stress hormones released when we are having a melt down, over-exercising or under-eating (for example). When they are released, they trigger more sebum production and inflammation within our skin cells. Hello oily skin and acne! Stress is also correlated with other major skin concerns including psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, contact dermatitis,... alopecia areata and itching (pruritus).

05.01.2022 HEADACHES AND MIGRAINE One reason for frequent headaches or migraine can be food intolerances. There is a connection between the re- action of the body to food and the symptoms of the migraine. ... It is not just an assumption - two double-blind, randomized cross-over trial studies confirm this. 1. Alpay et al. (2010) could show that migraine patients following an elimination diet based on food intolerance testing had on average 32 % fewer migraine attacks and 29.6 % fewer migraine days than patients who followed a sham diet. Furthermore, the acute medication could be reduced significantly. For some patients, the migraine disappeared completely. 2. Aydinlar et al. (2013) observed an average reduction of migraine attacks and migraine days by 44 % for patients following the elimination diet based on food intolerance testing after 10 days. A general improvement in quality of life as compared with provocation diet was obtained.

05.01.2022 My favourite anti-asthma superfoods! Do you know what all of these foods have in common? They are all high in VITAMIN D!! Research does show that many asthma sufferers are Vitamin D deficient. These foods are commonly added onto my client's treatment plan to help improve my client's immune system function to help reduce wheezing severity and asthma flare-ups!...

05.01.2022 The food pyramid is the tool the government uses to illustrate what we should be eating. Many Australians have grown up with guides like the Healthy Eating Food Pyramid. But if you want to make sure you and your family is eating the healthiest diet possible, I do not recommend using the Food Pyramid.... In this article I take a closer look at why the Food Pyramid is not the best option, and what I suggest using instead.

05.01.2022 LUNCH BOX Last night I made about 40 of these little ‘pies’, but only the last 3 looked Instagram pretty . It’s ok, they still tasted great and my kids are very forgiving. The are basically gluten free pasta and bolognaise stuck together with a bit of cheese and cooked in a pie maker.... They have gone in the lunch box today, and then a load out in the freezer for another time. Diversity of plant foods is critical for a healthy gut, so the bolognaise was loaded with veggies. Each pie contains: Tomato Carrots Garlic Onion Pumpkin Parsley Mushrooms And the mince is organic #lunch #lunchtime #lunchideas #lunchbox #kidsfood #kidslunchboxideas #kidshealth #eatyourveggies #eatyourgreens #veggies #foodprep #bulkcooking #sundayfoodprep #illawarra #bulli #wollongong #nutrition #nutritionist

05.01.2022 I feel so much better not eating grains. I will eat them occasionally, like a bit of sushi or gluten free bread here and there, but less than once a week. I prefer to eat vegetable with actual health benefits, not just fillers. I always have big Pyrex containers in the fridge full of cooked veggies, I don’t start to prep veggies at every meal (who has time for that!)....

03.01.2022 SLEEP Even though I think what you eat is incredibly important, I actually rate good quality sleep as equally important. That goes for adults and kids.... Kids need a lot of sleep. Without enough sleep kids will: Act out in class Have a poor attention span Struggle with emotional regulation Factors that influence your child’s sleep include Diet Food allergies and intolerances Over-stimulation Lack of routine Too much screen time Not enough out door time My latest post on my website explains how to improve your child’s sleep (as well as your own!). https://holistichealthbylisamoane.com.au/is-your-child-sle/ #kidssleep #childrensleep #insomniaproblems #adhd #autism #sleepbetter #illawarra #nutrition #nutritionist #naturalhealth #kidshealth #coalcoastnsw #wollongongmums

03.01.2022 GRAZING Is this the face your kids do when you tell them they can’t have a snack? One of the major factors I see contributing to picky eating is too many snacks.... Grazing is not good for any one - kids or adults. I’m a firm believe that kids do need a snack between meals, so a typical day might look like this: 7am breakfast 9:30am morning tea 12pm lunch 2:30pm afternoon tea 5.30pm dinner There is definitely no shortage of food with this plan, but it isn’t grazing. Each meal or snack goes for 20-30 min leaving at least 2 hour food free time. If you kids don’t need the snacks, you can definitely skip them. It depends on your child’s activity level, growth stage and metabolism. Grazing is where kids go from snack to snack to snack all day, and skip proper meals. Why is this a problem? Grazing will reduce appetite for actual meals. Grazing is terrible for your teeth Grazing stops your migrating motor complex from kicking in, leading to gut issues Grazing keeps your insulin high all day, leading to metabolic issues. Grazing foods are often highly processed and packaged food which provided few nutrients. #dontgraze #kidshealth #kidsfood #nutrition #guthealth #dentalhealth #teeth #snacktime #pickyeaters #fussyeaters #toddlermeal #familymeal #wollongongmums #wollongong #illawarra

02.01.2022 LENTIL SOUP Lunch today is lentil and veggie soup, made yesterday. At 6:30am I put a whole organic chicken in the slow cooker, filled to the top with filtered water. I put it on high for 4 hours. ... Then at about 10:30, I used a metal sieve to lift out the whole chicken, leaving the nutritious stock in the slow cooker. In a separate frying pan, I sautéed: 4 chopped onions 4 big cloves garlic 1 tablespoon cumin 1 tablespoon ground coriander Salt and pepper To the slow cooker I added the onion and spice mix, as well as: 250g red lentils (washed) Pumpkin Capsicum Carrot Cooked on high for about 3 hours, then blitzed with a hand held blender. Homegrown coriander on top to serve.

01.01.2022 THYROID Lots of people (especially ladies) get diagnosed with an under active thyroid. Quite often the approach is to wait and see what happens, do nothing to start off with.... In the vast majority of cases, your thyroid will become under active due to an autoimmune attack on it. This disease is called Hashimotos. By taking a ‘watch and wait’ approach, what is happening is that you are waiting for the attack on your thyroid to be so extensive that it can no longer make enough thyroid hormone, and your blood tests show a high TSH. Then, you get prescribed thyroxine to replace the thyroid hormone you can’t make anymore. This is not a sensible approach. Once the thyroid tissue has been destroyed, you can’t get it back. And if you don’t address the underlying causes for the autoimmune attack, your thyroid will continue to be destroyed, and your dose of thyroxine will go up and up. If you suspect your thyroid is playing up (symptoms include weight gain, hair loss, constipation, cold intolerance, fatigue), get in touch with me. I will do more in depth testing to see if autoimmunity is a factor, and then work to address the underlying drivers. #thyroidhealing #thyroid #weightgain #hairloss #fatigue #hormonehealth #illawarra #wollongong #naturalhealth #functionalmedicine #hashimotos #hashimotosdisease #aiprecipes #autoimmunedisease #autoimmuneprotocol

01.01.2022 BERRY MUFFINS I am so excited to be able to use almond meal again (now that my son isn’t allergic any more). I’ve been refining this recipe for a few weeks and it’s now ready to share!
