25.01.2022 Beetroot Hummus Recipe . And the beetroot obsession continues... I just love the colour! Ive used raw beetroot in this but you can use cooked beetroot instead. By spiking your regular hummus with veggies, youre getting more nutrients and fiber into your tum (yay for #guthealth) but you can use this recipe in so many ways. I like to eat it as a snack with carrot sticks, I dollop a bit on my plate with meals instead of sauce, spread it onto my wraps, use it as a base for my ...avo toast, loads of different uses to make your food even tastier. Heres the recipe! INGREDIENTS: 1 tin chickpeas, drained & rinsed 1C grated beetroot (or cooked) 2 tbsp olive oil 2 tbsp water 1 tbsp tahini 1 tbsp lemon juice 1 tsp minced garlic 1 tsp cumin powder 1/2 tsp sea salt Add all ingredients to a food processor or blender and blitz until smooth.

22.01.2022 Lets talk skin! Scrubs and exfoliators are excellent at removing dead skin cells from the surface of the skin, helping to PREVENT acne and clogged pores. But while it makes sense to use these products as a way to prevent breakouts, they should be avoided during an active breakout or on inflamed skin. The harsh nature of scrubs and exfoliators creates skin irritation which can actually make breakouts worse by creating MORE inflammation and therefore leading to a worseni...ng of your skin condition. Inflamed skin needs time to calm down in order to heal, so avoiding anything that creates inflammation is essential. If youre struggling with acne prone skin, lets work out what the underlying cause is.

21.01.2022 Just adding a bit of shade to your Wednesday . Seriously though, it pays to be mindful of the chemicals were exposed to on a daily basis. Many of these are endocrine disrupters that contribute to hormone issues and they can even contribute to weight gain! Plus, we dont really know what a lot of the chemicals in our cleaning products, cosmetics, personal care products, etc. do in synergy when theyre all combined. Our homes are a bit like a chemical experiment. Take s...tock of all the products you use each day and then try to grasp the amount of chemicals youre exposing yourself to. We may ingest these through our food, breathe them in via fumes, or absorb them through the skin. Eg. Chemicals in our water Toothpaste Face wash Body wash Shampoo & conditioner Leave in hair treatments Moisturiser Deodorant Foundation Hand wash Perfume Pesticides in our food Multipurpose spray Dishwashing liquid Floor cleaner residue on the tiles Washing powder residue on our clothes This is just an example of some chemical sources were exposed to before we even leave the house in the morning (or not leave, because #isolife)! It can feel overwhelming when you look at it like this, but I would recommend just changing 1 thing at a time until youve eventually phased everything out. If I had to pick one thing to change first, it would be to get a water filter because youre ingesting 2L of the stuff every single day. We are so lucky to have amazing natural options available to us (that also work really well and smell so good) to make this transition much easier. Im thinking of working on a blog post to recommend some good natural alternatives/recipes/brands for a lot of these products, would you guys be interested in that? Let me know x See more



21.01.2022 How many times have you looked back and wished you JUST did a little bit of something each day so that you would be so much closer to your goals than you are now? Its easier to look backwards to see how much of a difference little changes would have made, than it is to look forward. I think this is what holds us back, were too focused on wanting to reach the end goal NOW. Just take small steps each day. While you might not thing youre doing enough, youll look back in a... couple of months and be SO glad you took those small steps each day. ~Carry a water bottle with you to remind you to drink your water. ~Turn down the offer for sweets today. ~Opt for a piece of fruit today over a piece of chocolate to start breaking the chocolate habit. ~Park your car a little further away from work so you can get some extra steps in. This is really reminding me to get more exercise in each day!

19.01.2022 Choc-Coconut Toasted Granola recipe, as promised! This was one of those throw together recipes that turned out delicious .

19.01.2022 Honey Mustard Dressing Recipe. This is my favourite dressing and marinade e v e r. You can drizzle this over a salad to make it super tasty, or you can marinade chicken breast in this to cook up, or you can thin the recipe out with a little water to add to a slow cooker with chicken breast/thighs. It is seriously so good.... INGREDIENTS: 1 tbsp wholegrain mustard 1 tbsp dijon mustard 1.5 tbsp honey 1 tsp minced garlic 1.5 tbsp olive oil 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar Pinch of sea salt.

19.01.2022 Struggling for ideas to eat more protein at breakfast time? Its the one meal so many people struggle with. We need protein with our breakfast to keep us fuller for longer, provide sustained energy, blood sugar balance and it can even help to prevent overeating later in the day. Heres a few ideas to bump up your protein at breakfast: . .... Organic free range eggs Salmon, sardines or trout Shredded chicken breast Turkey or chicken patties Mexican breakfast mince Tofu scramble Protein powder smoothie Greek yoghurt Goats cheese, feta, ricotta, cottage cheese Savoury lentils Homemade baked beans Hummus or mashed chickpeas Nuts & seeds Almond butter, peanut butter, tahini, sunflower seed butters etc. Mashed peas/broadbeans/edamame Add to porridge: almond butter, nuts/seeds, protein powder, LSA or Greek yoghurt.

18.01.2022 How to know if your fatigue is from an adrenal or thyroid issue? Ive spoken before about how stress raises cortisol and with this in mind, the adrenals and thyroid are very connected. Our thyroid hormones are needed for energy production, so if thyroid function is inhibited, it can make us very tired. Cortisol directly impacts the thyroid by inhibiting TSH (this hormone tells our thyroid to release thyroid hormones), plus inhibits the conversion of T4 (inactive thyro...id hormone) to T3 (active thyroid hormone) while raising reverse T3 (which further blocks the thyroid hormones >> inhibits energy production). If you have thyroid symptoms but your tests say that thyroid function is normal (usually only TSH is measured), then you may benefit from some more in depth thyroid testing. But how can you tell if your fatigue is from an adrenal issue or a thyroid issue? There are many similarities between the 2, but there are some great differences: ADRENALS: Fatigue early in the morning and mid-afternoon. Feels the most tired in the morning and has the most energy/alertness in the evening. Craves salt and fatty foods (deep fried foods). Basal body temperature (on waking) varies a lot. Finds it hard to fall asleep at night & may wake easily during the night. THYROID: Feels tired all day. Energy is consistently flat (feels wiped out). Sugar cravings (rather than salt or fat). Basal body temperature is consistently lower than 36.4 degrees for up to 5 consecutive days. Can fall asleep easily, sleep through the night and still wake up tired. You can actually test for both adrenal and thyroid function in one go. If you have been experiencing fatigue for a while then it may be worth investigating so that you can really get to the root cause and help to improve your energy. Not all fatigue is going to be from an adrenal or thyroid issue - theres lots to consider if your energy is wiped out! What have you found that works for your energy? See more

15.01.2022 We can do all the things that are considered healthy (diet, exercise, rest, hydration, etc), but if we have toxic habits of any kind, it can be a bit of an uphill battle. If youre struggling to get where you want to with your health goals despite feeling like youre trying so hard, consider whether there are any toxic habits that need to be changed. This could be a belief about yourself that you need to change, it could be that sneaky chocolate bar you probably have way t...oo often (chocolate is my vice!), maybe youre overdoing it at the gym or youre holding onto hurtful feelings from your past. Working on changing these habits could be the one shift that leads to a huge step forward on your journey!

13.01.2022 Food Prep! I am ALL about saving time & effort in the kitchen. Even though food prep can take a couple of hours (at most), youre going to save yourself sooo much time (and sanity) for the remainder of that week! IDEAS:... Do your grocery shopping for the week on a Sunday, then allow a few hours to food prep. Batch cook 2-3 meals and divide into containers for lunches or dinner. Overnight oats or chia puddings are super easy food prep breakfast options. Boil a dozen eggs or so for snacks, add to toast or to add to meals. Bliss balls, hummus, mashed avo, boiled eggs, roasted chickpeas, yoghurt fruit cups & veggie sticks are really quick and easy snack ideas. Freeze extra meals in individual containers to easily grab and go for work lunches, letting it thaw out a little on your way to work. Chop up fresh fruit and store in a container to enjoy as a snack, with breakfast or in a yummy salad. This works especially well if you have a lot of food waste. If its chopped up, youre more likely to eat it. Chop veggies for your weekly dinners and store in a container in the fridge. When youre ready to start dinner, grab some chopped veg and throw in a pan or steamer. If youre going to grate some veggies, the food processor is a life saver for this. Batch cook roasted veggies to add to your meals (sooo much flavour). Make a big batch of cauliflower rice as a side to your meals. Make up a big salad and store in the fridge to add as a side or for a quick lunch with some protein. Make individual smoothie bags (reusable)/containers with frozen fruit and veg to quickly pop in the blender. Create a smoothie/muesli or breakfast station. If you add 1,001 things to your smoothies/breakfast (i.e superfoods, protein, nuts, seeds, etc), make a station in your cupboard or on your bench with all the ingredients grouped together. This will save you hunting around for them in the morning. Make up slow cooker/soup bags/containers. Add the meat, veggies, spices, etc into a container to store in the fridge to quickly tip into the slow cooker one morning. These are sure to save you time & minimise waste!

12.01.2022 A low appetite may seem like a good thing to have, especially if youre trying to lose weight, but this can be a sign of an underlying problem. Its something I see quite often, so here are some reasons why you might have a low appetite: Nutrient deficiency : particularly zinc and vitamin B1. These nutrients are needed to make our digestive juices which when low, can decrease our appetite. Low thyroid function: this is a common sign. Interestingly, zinc is a very impo...rtant nutrient for thyroid function which further perpetuates the problem if zinc is low. Inflammation - this is an interesting one that Ive seen with people who have undetected food sensitivities. Once these have been identified, by removing these foods, their metabolism can fire back up which increases their appetite and weight loss is often much easier. Adrenal Fatigue (HPA axis issues) - when the body is under stress, our energy is taken away from digestion and placed towards more life-saving functions. This may reduce our stomach acid output which is the main thing that helps us to feel hungry. Poor liver function: this is especially true if you feel nauseas quite often, particularly after eating fatty foods. Coffee - throwing this one in here, as I often have clients say they dont feel hungry for breakfast in the morning, but they are actually having a coffee as soon as they wake up. Coffee is an appetite suppressant and I dont recommend coffee before breakfast mainly for this reason. A protein rich breakfast is so important for weight balance. There are lots of other things that contribute to low appetite, but these are the main ones that I see. Other things such as H.pylori infection or medications can also decrease the appetite, so as always, please get any unusual appetite changes checked out with your Doctor. If you have a low appetite, you may also be having trouble digesting your food properly. Getting to the cause of your low appetite can help to have a flow on effect to the rest of your digestive tract. Its something I address with everyone as its so important. Do you have a low appetite? Does this help to shine some light for you? See more

12.01.2022 What are antioxidants and why do we need them? One thing we all think of when we hear the word antioxidant is anti-ageing. And rightfully so! But these guys do so much more than just make our skin appear youthful. Antioxidants protect our body from oxidative stress/damage. Oxidative stress is when your body has a high amount of free radicles (bad guys), and not enough antioxidants (good guys) to neutralise these nasties. Free radicles are highly unstable and can cause... serious damage to cells & DNA as they basically fly around in their quest to pair with another electron (which our antioxidants provide to them). Free radicles are formed naturally in the body during normal metabolic processes, but can be increased by our poor health choices such as consuming alcohol, smoking cigarettes, eating processed foods (especially trans fats) or through exposure to environmental toxins. Our good guy anti-oxidants protect our cells from damage, acting as a free radicle scavenger by donating one of their electrons to the free radicle which neutralises it. Our bodies make their own amazing antioxidants (eg. glutathione, superoxide dismutase, even melatonin!) and we can also gain them through food, such as vitamin C from citrus fruits, vitamin E from nuts, vitamin A from eggs, selenium from Brazil nuts or phytochemicals from plants such as resveratrol from red wine & beta-carotene from carrots. These different antioxidants play unique roles in the body, so its important to eat a wide variety of plant foods to gain the most benefits. Acai berries are one of the highest antioxidant containing fruits in the world! The deeper the colour of a plant food usually means that theyre quite dense in antioxidants. This beauty of a bowl was from @blendlove. Want to know how your genes shape up for antioxidant skin protection? I can guide you through a really simple DNA cheek swab test that can tell you if your skin is extra susceptible to oxidative damage/ageing and what the best topical and internal treatments are best for your unique genetic make up . Let me know if youre interested and I can get you started!

11.01.2022 Double-Choc Fudge Cookies . Gluten-free, dairy-free & vegan. These were so good, you must try them! Theyre not crunchy and crispy like regular cookies. These are more fudgy and chewy and so chocolatey! Make sure you use a good quality chocolate in this recipe. I used @loving_earth Creamy Coconut Mylk Chocolate which really takes these cookies to the next level . INGREDIENTS:... 1/3C coconut flour 1/3C chopped @loving_earth Creamy Coconut Mylk Chocolate 1/4C coconut oil (melted) 1/4C water 2 tbsp @pureharvest rice malt syrup 2 tbsp LSA 1 tbsp raw cacao 1 tsp vanilla Pinch of sea salt METHOD: Pre-heat oven to 180C. Add the LSA and water to a medium sized bowl and mix together. This will need to sit for about 5 minutes as the flaxseed meal forms a gel (egg replacement). Add the coconut flour, coconut oil, water, rice malt syrup, cacao, vanilla & salt. Mix until well combined. Add in the chopped chocolate and stir through. Scoop out ~1 tbsp of the mixture and roll into a ball. Place onto a prepared oven tray lined with baking paper and press down to make a cookie shape. Repeat until youve used all the mixture. These will keep their shape in the oven so you dont have to spread them apart too much. Bake for 15 minutes. Enjoy! Store the rest of the cookies in the fridge. See more

07.01.2022 NEED AN ENERGY BOOST? Here are some simple diet tweaks that can dramatically change your energy: PROTEIN: with each meal. Think pasture raised eggs, fish, organic poultry, grass-fed red meat, organic tofu, pulses, high-protein Greek yoghurt, white cheeses & plain protein powders.... HEALTHY FATS: Added to meals - avocado, nuts, seeds, olives, extra virgin olive oil, coconut milk/cream. Some protein sources are also high fat so theyre more satiating (eggs, oily fish, fatty cuts of meat). VEGGIES: 1/2 a plate filled with non-starchy vegetables at meals. Think zucchini, leafy greens, capsicum, asparagus, carrots, etc. CARBS: Slower to digest carbs are important for stable energy, such as brown rice, quinoa, buckwheat, rye sourdough, pulse pasta, etc & starchy veggies like sweet potato, beetroot or pumpkin. SUGAR: Once the above changes are made, we often feel less of a need for sweets. Enjoy 2 serves of fruit per day along side a healthy fat or protein source & enjoy desserts on the odd occasion. HYDRATE: Carrying a water bottle around helps to remind us to drink! (~2-3L water/day). This is on TOP of any coffee/tea. CAFFEINE: Go easy on this. While its an energy booster, too much can deplete our overall energy. Stick to just 1 cup per day (i.e. 1 shot of espresso or a small cup from a cafe). *This is general info & as it goes with anything you see on the internet, please get personalised professional advice before making major changes to your diet (I can help!). What have you found that helps with boosting your energy (apart from caffeine)? Tag a friend who needs an energy boost!

06.01.2022 Struggling with acne prone skin and cant work out the cause? Heres one way your gut might be to blame! Our gut wall is permeable to an extent (to let nutrients/water pass through), however its meant to be a pretty strong barrier to stop anything else getting through that isnt meant to. But things can go wrong when we have alcohol, infections, imbalanced gut flora, ibuprofen, too much sugar, stress, gluten, etc. upsetting this gut wall barrier, making it more permeab...le than it should be. This is called increased intestinal permeability (IIP) or leaky gut (cute/awful sounding nickname for IIP). When this happens, things like toxins, food proteins and bacteria pass through the gut wall, that arent supposed to, causing all sorts of problems; especially inflammation. When we have increased inflammation, this can lead to increased sebum production in the skin, which increases the growth of acne causing bacteria! But thats not the only issue - the toxins that are taking their free pass through the gut barrier can make their way to the skin and accumulate there, causing poor skin barrier function and starting the development of acne. We can also develop food sensitivities from having the food proteins pass through the gut wall which can lead to skin problems buuuut I think you get the picture that the gut is a big player here with acne. So what to do? How to know if you even have this leaky gut thing?

Plus, watermelon contains a huge amount of water and electolytes to keep us hydrated. How perfect that its in season during summer! Nature is amazing. I have made this with just water (instead of coconut water) before and its still refreshing (if youre keen to have a lower sugar version)!

06.01.2022 Blueberry Baked Oats This is a little bit like having cake for breakfast . I used to make these all the time around 5 years ago and completely forgot about them!

05.01.2022 High Fat Green Smoothie . Healthy fats are an important part of our diet to help us to feel fuller for longer and to balance our energy levels. Despite what youve been told, not all fats are bad and healthy fats (eg. avocados, raw nuts, seeds, oily fish, olives, etc) are actually essential for hormone health.

Ingredients: 1/2 banana 1 tsp greens powder 1 tbsp LSA 2 tbsp avocado 1 dessertspoon of coconut yoghurt Handful of baby spinach 3/4C filtered water. Add ice if desired (or use frozen banana & chilled water). Blend! P.S. You cant taste the spinach at all! But be careful not to overdo it with raw spinach, dont go over the amount that you wouldnt normally eat at a meal .

05.01.2022 Hands up if this is you?! . I remember in my last year of uni, I was burning the candle at both ends and all of a sudden I was craving SALT! Salty food, salty chips, salty everything. My disgust for olives was replaced with CRAVINGS for them because they were so salty! Who even was I?... What do salty food cravings indicate? ADRENAL problems (you can read about adrenal fatigue / HPA axis dysfunction on my website). I ask every new client I see if they have cravings for salt, + when those cravings started, etc. and many people are very intrigued to know WHY because their salt cravings are so out of character for them! The adrenals produce a hormone called aldosterone which helps to maintain our blood pressure by regulating our sodium (salt) and potassium levels. Issues with adrenals (aka stress for way too long) can lead to low aldosterone >> low salt, which is also the reason why we often see low blood pressure and light headedness with people who have adrenal issues. It actually affects our whole electrolyte balance, but this is why we crave salt when were chronically stressed and our adrenals are affected. Balancing our electrolytes is key here - YES this usually involves salt but this isnt safe for everyone so please work with your practitioner if you think you have adrenal issues - I can help - online video consult booking link here : https://www.jacquibaihn.com/let-s-work-together Do you crave salty foods? Whats your salty food of choice?

04.01.2022 How to know if you have signs of hormone imbalance? The symptoms are very common - but not necessarily normal! This is what makes it tricky for many women to realise something is amiss: Weight gain or water retention... Sugar cravings PMS Sore breasts Acne Irritability or mood swings Painful periods Heavy periods Sound like you? Youre definitely not alone! These are all signs of a hormone imbalance, particularly oestrogen dominance. Theres many things that play into oestrogen dominance so its important to work with a health professional to get to the bottom of it. What can you do in the meantime? Reduce exposure to oestrogens in your environment such as plastics, disposable coffee cups/lids, receipt paper, unfiltered water, non-organic dairy & meats, pesticides on our produce, nail polish, parabens & phthalates. Get your digestive tract moving daily. If youre not eliminating every day, then thats a problem. Certain bad bacteria in the gut can cause oestrogen (thats meant to be eliminated when you go to the bathroom) to recirculate by letting it free to be reabsorbed, contributing to the amount of oestrogen circulating in the body (when your liver wanted it GONE). Eat plenty of fibre from your vegetables, fruit, legumes, whole grains, nuts & seeds. Take stress management seriously. Raised stress hormones have a massive impact on our overall hormone balance, especially oestrogen dominance. Take stock of things in your life that cause you the most stress and see if there are ways you can manage that stress better. Self-care can give you 10-30 minutes of stress-free time which helps to bring those stress hormones down so that youre not allowing them to linger. You can grab my free Self-Care Guide via this link https://www.jacquibaihn.com/self-care-guide Go easy on the caffeine and alcohol - best to avoid while youre rebalancing your hormones. These place a higher load on the liver which can impact on your ability to properly detoxify hormones. You dont have to struggle month after month with hormone imbalance. Sometimes very simple changes to your diet, lifestyle or supplement regime are all it takes! Contact me if youd like to get started .

02.01.2022 Antioxidant Beet-Berry Smoothie. This is the first time Ive added beetroot to a smoothie and I was shook it tasted so good. I still cant get over the fact that you literally cannot taste some vegetables in smoothies. Somehow, this just made the smoothie taste even more berry-ish. I actually used to hate beetroot. Couldnt stand it. But for some reason in the last few weeks Ive been craving it and eating sooo much. The insane colour of beetroot shows the insane amou...nt of antioxidant benefits that this veggie has (antioxidants protect our cells from damage). We dont just need fibre, vitamins and minerals from our plant foods, we need the antioxidants/phytonutrients too which you aint gonna find in a multivitamin - so eat your veggies! Beets are also amazing for your liver, so please give this recipe a try. INGREDIENTS 1/3C grated raw beetroot (you can just use chunks rather than grating if you have a good blender). 1/3C frozen blueberries 1/2 banana 1 tbsp ground flaxseeds 1 cup coconut milk (or any milk you like). BLEND. Perfect snack to keep you going between meals, or add some protein and raw oats for a nice breakfast smoothie. Have you tried beetroot in a smoothie before?

02.01.2022 As a Holistic practitioner, we are trained to treat the person rather than just the disease. Instead of having one treatment for each disease, we look to the person and take the time to understand how the disease (or collection of symptoms) came to surface. What was your health like leading up to the point when symptoms began to show? Were you stressed? Is there a genetic predisposition? Did you have any nutrient deficiencies? Were you exposed to any environmental toxins? Wha...t was your diet like? Exercise regime? Etc, etc. When we look at all these factors, we can start to understand why your symptoms might have come about. Maybe it was a lack of magnesium from a magnesium deplete diet, that over time, caused you to have a heightened or prolonged stress response which was leading to anxiety. In that instance, you wouldnt give them 1 standard pill that was designed to heal anxiety, you would give magnesium in the diet (and probably supplementation because our soils are deplete), stress management techniques and look at anything else that may be contributing. Another person may also be struggling with anxiety but actually needs something completely different, where magnesium would be of no use. This is the same for supplements. Magnesium isnt just used to help anxiety. It can help to improve constipation, it can improve sleep, muscle recovery, blood sugar balance, PMS, etc, it all depends on what you need. If you had excellent magnesium levels but still experienced PMS, then taking magnesium may do nothing for your PMS! Looking at it both ways, we treat the individual and also applying nutrients individually. You need to understand this concept when using natural medicine, otherwise it may not work. If you feel like you arent being listened to when it comes to your health, or you feel that there are pieces missing to your healthcare, it may be time to look at adding a Holistic Practitioner to your health team. The silver lining of the current pandemic means that we can access this help so easily via virtual consults! My consults are all via Zoom currently, and the booking link is below . https://www.halaxy.com//jacquel/nutritionist/349041/346901

01.01.2022 I love this quote. Enjoy your Monday!

01.01.2022 How to make Oat Milk . . This is so easy and so inexpensive to make. If you haven't tried oat milk yet - it's like a nicer version of soy milk (does anyone else think that too? It's the closest thing I can think of to describe the taste!). I'm mostly still drinking decaf coffee (I couldn't give up the taste in the end!) and in my opinion, oat milk is the best tasting milk in coffee . Give this recipe a try!... Add to a high speed blender: 1/2C rolled oats. 2 cups of water. 1 tsp honey. 1/2 tsp vanilla. Blend, then strain & pour into a glass jug. Store in the fridge for up to 3 days! Give it a good shake before use. What are your thoughts - oat milk fan or nah? #oatmilk #plantbased #wellbeing #leakygut #jerf #adrenalfatigue #justeatrealfood #healthyjourney #homemade #organic #dairyfree #superfood #healthyeating #fitness #coffeeaddict #fitfam #healthtip #coffeetime #nutrition #wholefood #vegan #wellnessblog #wellnessjourney #fitlifestyle #natural #nourishyourbody #eatwelllivewell #eatwellbewell #guthealth #guthealing See more
