24.01.2022 I am a big fan of a liquid day. I am talking about leaving solid foods out for a 24-hour period. Instead of our usual diet, eat - or in this case drink - your way through the day using soups, smoothies, juices, teas, and broth. Digesting food accounts for around 50 per cent of your daily energy expenditure, so by juicing, blending and pureeing your food a lot of the gut’s work is already done, meaning your body has a little extra energy to use elsewhere.... A day of liquid will give your metabolism a little shock, which will stimulate it to work more effectively. A little note on your metabolism and fasting of any kind - if you put your metabolism under stress for too many days you run the risk of it slowing down as it starts to preserve energy stores in case there is an actual shortage of food (it is basically in survival mode). A short, sharp shock is all you need. Most people find that they are energised by doing a 24-hour liquid-only stint; the opposite of what you might expect. I endeavour to do a liquid day once a week, although sometimes it isn’t possible. It is a little like doing a mini spring clean, on a regular basis and it definitely helps keeps you on the right track, or gets you back on track if you have veered off. I am excited to share that coming soon I will be launching a Health Promotion Program I have developed. A platform for me to share my recipes and promote gut diversity. It’s designed to educate, motivate and rejuvenate! I will even hold your hand through a liquid fasting day. If it sounds like something you want to hear more about then head up to stories and sign up for my newsletter.

23.01.2022 I have been taking a little hiatus from social media over the summer. Part of my wellness approach for my patients is to not only address the diet but all aspects of their life. Whether we are using it as a fantastic education tool or for the positive effects of keeping connected during a time of social disconnection, all of us in some capacity are being drawn into the world of social media. I took the summer as an opportunity to fill my own prescription and have a long br...eak from social platforms. I highly recommend setting yourself some IT boundaries, reconnect with nature, read a book or just sit and allow the mind to have some quiet time. A wonderful way to launch into 2021 was an opportunity to chat with Lucy Kippist from the @flyingsoloau Podcast. It was great to revisit the why and the how behind Living Naturally and the development of the Feel Fab By Friday program. I am really looking forward to helping you all on whatever stage of the health journey you are at in 2021. Remember food is medicine and a few simple changes can have you feeling Fabulous faster. Shout out to @the_regional_pr_co for the introduction.

23.01.2022 I think every day is International women’s day. This year’s IWD theme is #choosetochallenge I challenge all you beautiful women to take care of your health. To take the time to stop and listen to your body. NOT to say... next week I will get my skin checked next week I will go for a breast screen next week I will get full bloods done and check my hormone levels next week I will see someone about why I am not sleeping next week I will ask about my bloating, cramping gastro/constipation next week I will investigate why I get headaches every other day next week I won’t drink alcohol The list goes on of the things busy women put off or simply ignore. This week I am attending a course to learn about the treatment Neurological conditions. Swipe right for the astounding statistics related to women and neurological conditions. I can’t help thinking that most of the women I know are too busy taking care of everybody else to actually get themselves to a Doctor. So what would the real statistics be if all those busy women stopped ignoring their symptoms and had some testing? I look forward to sharing my learning’s. May all women be well. x #choosetochallenge

21.01.2022 Happy New Year! As a gift to myself I have been enjoying a break from social media to really be present with family and friends, good food and some welcomed down time. Christmas brings festive foods, and good times and if like me you have over indulged in just about everything, today is a great day to remind us all to eat some more Veggies.... If you are tired of eating ham left overs and need some recipe inspiration, pop over to my website and sign up to the January Feel Fab recipes. There are 5 days of my favourite gut healing, liver cleansing, delicious summer recipes. Don’t worry if you are not up to following a plan strictly over 5 days - it’s January and it’s time to relax. Why not just cook 2 recipes each week of January and start to increase your plant intake, lower your post Christmas inflammation and gently to restore your gut integrity. Of course if you are ready to start the NY with vitality and vigour the five day plan is waiting for you. I hope I can help you make your Health a priority in 2021.

21.01.2022 Your Health is your Wealth... When many people think of health, they only consider their physical bodies. If you want a vibrant, healthy life, be sure to pay attention to your spiritual, mental, and emotional bodies, too.

20.01.2022 If you are following the Feel Fab by Friday program, Wednesday is a liquid fast day. This broccoli and coconut soup is a nutrient powerhouse dish and will be a lovely cleanse for your liver, kidneys and bowels. Broccoli has a reputation as a superfood. It is low in calories but contains a wealth of nutrients and antioxidants that support many aspects of human health.

19.01.2022 Slow Sunday’s... Double tap the image if you would like me to share my Harrissa Shakshuka. Perfect for a lazy Sunday brunch. #veggiesforbreakfast

18.01.2022 Keeping the balance. We learn to self regulate our nervous system by consistent experiences with another calm regulated nervous system. This is called co- regulation. Our vagus nerve connects heart, gut and brain.... Choose wisely who and where you spend your time, the people and the places directly affect your health. . . . . #vagusnerve #breatheyourbiome #exercise #nature #friends #family #nervoussystem #parasympatheticnervoussystem #bushwalk #selfregulation #calm #meditation #breathe #bewell #nutrtion #nutritionaltherapypractitioner

18.01.2022 The Power of your Pantry Finally it seems we are beginning to wake up with many researchers reporting that gut health and supporting its integrity is one of the most important goals of medicine. In my soon to be released Health Promotion program I am going to help take the stress of knowing what to buy and recipes to match to ensure you have the power to health in your very own pantry. ... I promise you it’s not another diet to follow, it’s a plan to help transition into healthy eating for a healthier life. Not long now... . #feelfabulousbyfriday

17.01.2022 Fancy helping yourself to this cake over the Easter weekend? This has been my Easter GF DF stalwart for the past few years and I don’t see that changing - ever. Make this just once, and you will be similarly convinced. Even if I wanted to stop making this I wouldn’t be allowed to. I have included this recipe in my latest newsletter. Don’t miss out on this slice of healthy indulgence, head over to my website and make sure you are all signed up. ... Happy Baking. Link to my website in my bio. Or if you are a little old fashioned www.livingnaturally.com.au

16.01.2022 All disease begins in the gut. All health begins in the gut. The gut and the immune system are like best friends.... 70-80% of the immune system is in the gut. They are intertwined. Damage the gut. Damage the immune system. Optimise your gut. Optimise your immune system. With a second surge of Covid upon us, I am frustrated with the constant talk of vaccines, drugs and quarantine. How about a conversation on healthy eating, getting good sleep, exercising and managing stress. These are the factors that determine your immune health. What about spending money on educating people on their food choices so they don’t end up with the lifestyle diseases like type 2 diabetes, obesity, heart disease.. the endless list of preventable illnesses if we just spent some time thinking about what we put on our fork. May we all... Live well. Eat well. Stay well.

16.01.2022 I do talk about eating plants a lot! Only 7% of Australians and 5% of children meet the guidelines for daily vegetable intake. An increase of 1 serve of vegetables a day (1/2 cup) reduces the risk of death from all causes by 5% and deaths from heart disease and stroke by 4%.... There are so many different diets/fads and plans to follow that come in and out of fashion. Eating more vegetables has never been up for debate. It is just plain good for you. Aim for a minimum of 5-8 serves everyday and remember to eat the rainbow - try different veggies and different colours. Remember each plant is responsible for feeding your unique microbes. #gutdiversity See more

15.01.2022 Overwhelmed with the number of subscribers to my Feel Fab by Friday program. Thanks for signing up and congratulations to @kikkikaye and @countryfoodtrails for winning the 1 months free subscription- check your inbox for your shopping list and recipes. It’s not too late to join, head over the website. The program will always run in the first week of each month, but if life is busy during this week or it doesn’t suit - don’t worry you will have access to the recipes as soon as... you purchase, so you can get started straight away or cook at your leisure at any time in the month. On the first Wednesday of each month I offer a free zoom for you to join and ask any questions you might have, or maybe you will just need a little encouragement to leave that gluten, dairy and sugar on the shelf! Remember it’s only for 5 days. Short and sharp reset...you can do it. Really looking forward to seeing the recipes come to life in your kitchen. Don’t forget to snap a pic and #feelfabbyfriday

15.01.2022 I don’t have time... It is a common response I here from patients when we chat about eating whole foods. It’s true it does take some time to shop, wash, prepare and cook. ... It takes a little bit of planning and I suggest people spend an hour of their weekend, perhaps on a Sunday afternoon when they just cut up and prepare their veg & recipe plans for the week. Preparation and organisation is key. However MINDSET is the most important contributing factor in the way you eat and take care of yourself. A little time in the kitchen will be time well spent if you compare it to the time you may have to spend sitting in a doctors surgery with a lifestyle illness caused from the decisions you made with your knife and fork. Take the time to make food planning and preparation a priority and your body will thank you for it for years to come. See more

14.01.2022 Fishy Friday’s.. If you are on the Feel Fab program you will note that I always include a salmon dish. Salmon is a nutritional powerhouse, here are a few reasons to remind you of why you need to include this fish (preferably wild caught) in your weekly rotation. A 100-gram serving of salmon provides 5967% of the RDI of selenium, a mineral involved in protecting bone health, improving thyroid function and reducing the risk of cancer.... Consuming salmon can help protect against heart disease by increasing levels of omega-3 fats, decreasing levels of omega-6 fats and lowering triglycerides. Frequent salmon consumption may help reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression, protect fetal brain health in pregnancy and decrease the risk of age-related memory Consuming at least two servings per week can help you meet your nutrient needs and reduce the risk of several diseases. Including this fatty fish as a regular part of your diet may very well improve your quality of life. Recipe for this tray bake is on the blog (link in bio) You can find the recipe for this Salmon Tray bake over on my blog. (Link in the bio)

14.01.2022 Just looking at the vibrancy of this home grown broccoli makes you feel alive. Broccoli is High in fibre, folic acid, Vitamins A and C, and the flavonoid kaempferol, which is an anti- inflammatory that can help protect against cancer. This dip is a great if you are searching for a snack and an easy way to increase your veggie and fibre take. ... Roasted Broccoli Dip 2 whole unpeeled garlic bulbs, cut in half horizontally cup (60 mL) extra-virgin olive oil, plus extra for the garlic 1 small head of broccoli 1 cup tinned organic cannellini beans small bunch parsley small bunch coriander cup coconut yoghurt (or dairy yoghurt if you prefer) Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper 1. Preheat the oven to 160C 2. Rub both cut halves of the garlic bulb with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, then place the cut sides back together and wrap in foil. 3. Wash the broccoli, then separate into florets and dry thoroughly with a clean towel. Toss the florets in some olive oil, salt, and pepper and transfer to a baking sheet, spreading them out in a single layer. 4. Roast the broccoli and garlic in the oven for 20 minutes until the broccoli is just cooked through and not burned. Roast the garlic at the same temperature, but for 45 mins, until the cloves are soft enough to squeeze from their skins. 5. Put the remaining ingredients, with salt and pepper to taste, into a food processor or blender and add the roasted broccoli and squeezed-out garlic. Process until smooth, scraping down the sides a few times if necessary. 6. If you like your dip a little runnier, add small amounts of hot water with the motor running, or more yogurt.

14.01.2022 World Mental Health Day Today is World Mental Health, whether or not you have ever visited a mental health professional for depression or anxiety every one of us has felt sad and nervous. We have all experienced trauma, large or small. Many of us spend time thinking about how the food we eat affects our hearts, environment and waistline - but we don’t stop to think about the influence food has on our brain.... An unhealthy gut microbiome leads to an unhealthy brain. and vice versa. Some foods promote the growth of healthy bacteria, while others inhibit growth. Because of this effect, food could be the most potent mental health medicine available All the research for a healthy mood points to a low inflammatory diet. You can read more about what that means over at my blog. (Link in the bio) Take the first step to maintaining your mental wellbeing by being mindful about what you choose to put on your fork. #foodismedicine

13.01.2022 Had a sweet craving this afternoon so I made this super quick smoothie bowl. I don’t encourage eating cold things when it’s cold, so I make my smoothie with room temp fruit and veggies and only a small amount of chilled plant milk. If you are somewhere in the tropics, lucky you, cool down using frozen fruit, you can also freeze for smoothies. Gives a great consistency. Good Guts Smoothie... 1/3 avocado 1 banana Generous handful of english spinach 1 scoop of organic hemp protein powder 1 tsp barley grass 1 kiwi fruit 1/3 cup of plant milk (i am using organic hemp milk at the moment) Top with whatever you can find in your fridge/pantry.

I like to leave a few chucks of date and coconut. (Can decorate with another banana if you wish, but not necessary) Turn the oven down to 160 Place mix into a lined loaf tin + bake approximately 45-60min or test the middle with a skewer + if comes out clean remove from oven + allow to cool in pan for 10min.

Mix eggs, coconut milk and flour in a blender. Arrange all the ingredients in the pie dish (scatter the herbs evenly over the top) pour the egg mix over the top. Season with pepper and salt. Bake at 160’ for about 40 mins - depends on your oven. #gf #df

11.01.2022 Forest Bathing... (known as shinrin-yoku in Japanese language) Literally means immersing ourselves among trees in nature. Studies have shown forest bathing to reduce stress, boost immunity, relax our physical bodies, promote feelings of wellbeing and even balance. Bathing expert Professor Miyazaki cites studies in which those with high blood pressure showed a decrease in blood pressure when forrest bathing and those with low blood pressure showed an increase in blood pressure.... Such findings demonstrate the profound, personalised and intuitive way nature brings each of us back into balance. Grateful for a short bath in the Macquarie Pass Rain Forrest today. @ Cascades Walk

11.01.2022 Join @fionatucknutrition and myself for a cuppa and a chat as we go live (Monday 10am) on insta stories talking all things Nutrition, skin care and the most effective ways to treat ACNE. If you are a parent/carer of a teenager you will want to tune in. Fiona is one of the most well respected skincare and nutritional experts in Australia. Both Fiona and myself are passionate about sharing the knowledge so tag a friend below that might be interested.

11.01.2022 Do you feed your feelings? The response to my insta survey was an overwhelming yes people most certainly eat to comfort their emotions. Emotional eating is when we eat for non-physiological reasons - we’re not actually hungry. We’re literally feeding our feelings, which may be sadness, anxiety, frustration or even happiness.... It’s important to disconnect food from your reward system, and start rewarding yourself with other for-filling activities. When you really want to eat in a way that doesn’t serve you, ask yourself what you really want. Name it or write it down. You will find it’s not actually about having that food; it’s about how you perceive having that food will make you feel, so identify that. Then incorporate more activities into your life that allow you to feel the emotions you are looking for the food to help you feel. Be patient and kind with yourself as you explore why you might be emotionally eating. (Check my stories for some more useful tips)

09.01.2022 One pan, 10 mins, Fast, Easy, Blood-Sugar Stabilizing Breakfast Eating upon waking brings your blood sugar levels back to normal, kick-starts your metabolism, and sets you up to be on an even metabolic keel for the rest of the day. So break your fast every morning. It will make you healthier and give you more energy through the day. The old proverb "Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, and supper like a pauper" may have some truth to it. Many of us think that if w...e skip breakfast we will reduce our overall calorie intake for the day and lose weight. Unfortunately, the opposite is true. Not eating breakfast often means you will eat more the rest of the day. Studies show protein-rich breakfasts can improve satiety and reduce evening snacking. Another showed a protein-rich breakfast helps reduce your hunger hormone ghrelin2 and increase cholecystekinin, which signals your brain to stop eating. Protein-rich foods like eggs, nut butters, a protein shake, or whole grains with nuts steady blood sugar and reduce metabolic fluctuations later in the day. Among the countless duties that confront us in the morning, many people struggle to have time for breakfast. That has always puzzled me, since you can make a healthy omelette with plenty of colourful vegetables in minutes. You can pre-prep it the night before so the whole thing takes MAYBE 10 minutes the following morning. Less time than it takes to order a designer coffee! @ High Range

09.01.2022 Cultivating gratefulness Its easy to get bogged down in the woes of 2020. I am always trying to remind myself and my children of all the wonderful things we have to be grateful for, but it is only recently the I have made a conscious effort as part of my morning ritual to practice gratitude.... The Science of Gratitude (2018), outline severalbenefits to gratitude practice. Who doesn’t want more or the below in their life? * increased happiness and positive mood * better physical health * better sleep * lower levels of cellular inflammation * greater resiliency * encourages the development of patience, humility, and wisdom * more satisfaction with life * less materialistic * less likely to experience burnout Regardless of who you are, or the circumstances of your life, the health benefits of gratitude are undeniable. I am certainly grateful for Spring and this glorious sunrise. What are you grateful for?

08.01.2022 Couldn’t resist a sweet treat today, no sooner was it out of the oven than the little fingers in my house had cut and run! Some people look at me when I tell them I am gluten and dairy free like I have a death sentence upon me. These days it’s pretty easy to navigate both and while occasionally I think I might enjoy a @marys.making croissant with lashings of butter - mostly I have managed to find or develop recipes that curb any cravings. If you are on the journey of trying to heal your gut, go gently. It probably took many many years of not paying attention to your body - so don’t expect to be better over night. I healed my gut literally one teaspoon at a time over a couple of years - it was worth it just so I could enjoy this!

06.01.2022 Meal time, a time for connection.... Growing up the traditional Sunday roast was non negotiable. I grew up as the youngest in a family of 12 children. My Mother was permanently fixed to the slow combustion stove - at any time of the day or night there was always something boiling/baking away. Sunday lunch was non negotiable, we all gathered, often bringing our many friends around the table to share our yarns, have a laugh and enjoy a lovingly prepared meal. ... During COVID isolation, one of my patients shared with me that he had for the first time in over 10 years shared a meal, at home, with his family. It made me wonder how true this might be for many. With our never ending to do lists, demanding jobs, children’s busy schedules, and perhaps less than stellar cooking skills in the kitchen, cooking or even sitting together seems to have become a forgotten art. Enjoying a meal with family and friends is the most radical thing you can do to enhance connection with each other and to establish lasting healthy eating habits. Start with one night a week, make it a mandatory regime. Everyone can put away their technological gadgets, and make dinner together an event. If you are on your own make the effort to gather with some friends for a home cooked healthy meal. Today we hosted my siblings for a get together, to laugh, to yarn and most of all keep the tradition of family connections over a delicious Sunday Roast.

06.01.2022 @drminyeo is an IFM Functional & Integrative Medicine Doctor based in Bondi Junction. Her approach to medicine utilises a combination of conventional medicine and a biomedical model. The term and field of functional medicine refers to something completely different than what we have now come to know as conventional medicine or the standard model of care. Functional Medicine views us all as being different; genetically and biochemically unique. This personalised health care tr...eats the individual, not the disease. It supports the normal healing mechanisms of the body, naturally, rather than attacking disease directly. Functional medicine is the medicine of future health care, however exactly what it is, is still generally unknown to the public. Pop the date in your diary and we hope you will join us as we shine some light on this fascinating area of medicine.

04.01.2022 Who doesn’t love a good roast veggie tray bake? At the beginning of the week I recommend my patients to roast up an extra hearty serve of veggies. Eating well does take a little bit of planning so if you can have these in a container in the fridge, they are ready to add to what ever you are making. Throw them in a salad, add to a curry or just have ready when you are looking for a snack. Cold roast veg with a with lashings of hummus and tahini is the perfect afternoon snac...k. Eating your veggies cold also adds resistant starch which is acts as a source of food for the 'good bacteria' in the large bowel, fuelling their growth and activity, leading to favourable changes within the gut microbiome. Remember we are aiming for 30 serves plants a week for optimal gut health, a little bit of forward planning make a this all the more achievable.

03.01.2022 Turmeric helps boost your immune system. If you’ve done even a little clicking around the wellness corner of the internet, you’ve likely encountered articles about turmeric and its awesomeness, but knowing how to actually fit it into your everyday life? Not always so obvious. Curcumin’s (turmerics active compound) anti inflammatory, anti oxidant and antimicrobial properties make it a health-promoting powerhouse. ... Here is a couple of quick tips for ways you can include this powerful anti inflammatory food. Flu Fighting Remedy Tea Curcumin is not that well absorbed into the blood stream, consuming it with black pepper enhances absorption. Add one tsp of turmeric to 1.5 cups of water and bring to the boil. Take the water off the heat and add 1/4 tsp each ground ginger and black pepper. You could also make this into a golden milk by using coconut milk instead of water. Since curcumin is fat soluble, consuming it with a fat containing food or beverage helps absorb more effectively. Immune Boosting Salad Dressing I love to whisk together white miso paste, tahini, apple cider vinegar and turmeric - simple delicious and powerful. I am looking forward to sharing more gut healthy recipes with you, head up to insta stories and add your email address (or DM me)to be sure you don’t miss out on my upcoming newsletter. Stay well x

01.01.2022 Do you suffer brain fog? It is possible that your brain fog may be related to inflammatory substances in the gut, which can cause inflammation in the brain. One way to help brain fog may be using natural flavonoids from food, like luteolin. Luteolin has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and brain protective actions Research has shown that luteolin has a possible protective effect on learning defects and brain structures in people with Alzheimer's. These protective benefits may... help to our improve memory. Good sources of luteolin include veggies, like this gorgeous cabbage (image credit from my neighbours garden ) celery, broccoli, artichokes, cabbage, and hot and sweet peppers; as well as apple skins; spices; and herbs, such as fresh peppermint, sage, thyme, celery seeds, parsley, and oregano. If you are stuck with how to use cabbage, It is the perfect vegetable to make your own sauerkraut (perfect gut food) or lovely grated through a summer salad .
