25.01.2022 http:// VITAMIN D & PREGNANCY // Vitamin D deficiency effects up to a massive 80% of pregnant women worldwide, meaning up to 80% of newborn babies are born deficient of vitamin D as it is passed through the placenta. In pregnancy, vitamin D is involved in a multitude of processes to ensure a healthy pregnancy:... * Aiding implantation * Supporting fetal growth * Promoting fetal lung maturation * Regulating placental function and hormone levels * Regulating blood glucose and insulin levels Studies show that Vitamin D deficiency increases risk of gestational diabetes, preeclampsia, preterm birth, low birth weight, and a suppressed immune system for newborns (think food intolerances, allergies, eczema, asthma). Luckily vitamin D can be corrected easily with practitioner support. If you are concerned about your vitamin D levels, get in touch with me as being ‘within range’ is still not necessarily optimal in pregnancy. #pregnancy #pregnancynutrition #pregnancynutritionist #vitamind #fertility #fertilitydiet #fertilitysupport

25.01.2022 VEGE UP YOUR FAMILY CLASSICS I adore my mums spag bol recipe! It’s made from scratch, super easy, can be batch made/frozen, and is so delicious! By simply experimenting and integrating vege into your family favourites, you can half your meat consumption while adding so much more nutrients and fibre! I managed to add in zucchini, carrot, asparagus, broccolini, lentils, and cauliflower into this batch - you can just use whatever you have in the fridge (it’s a great opportuni...ty to use up those sad looking floppy carrots and greens)! I served this with @slendier edamame pasta and chilli flakes

Take 1 frozen raspberry and roll the cashew filling around to hide it in the centre. Place on a lined baking tray. Repeat until all the batter is used up. 3. Place in the freezer for 20 minutes. 4. In the mean time make the chocolate layer by melting the coconut oil and adding in the maple syrup and cocoa powder. Stir until it resembles melted chocolate. 5.

20.01.2022 BALANCE AND SUSTAINABILITY DURING THE FESTIVE SEASON The festive season can cause a lot of people anxiety and trigger stress when it comes to our eating patterns. So often I see clients who have an ‘all or nothing’ mentality - and that’s no fault of your own with the saturation of diet glorification in our media!! Christmas parties, family lunches, and dinners with friends mean our typical eating environment is different with different options available. ... Trying to eat clean during the holidays isn’t the best thing for your well-being or mental health, and neither is completely ignoring your nutritional needs. Find that middle ground where you’re nourishing yourself most of the time and also having space to experience joy and pleasure around your food experience

20.01.2022 STAYING HEALTHY WHILE WORKING FROM HOME 1. Set up routine and structure for your workday. Set a routine as if you are going into the office, with a regular start time, and finish time, and a structure for your day, with breaks and exercise scheduled in. This will help you maintain a strong boundary between work and home life, minimise the possibility of work intruding into your family time, and help you switch off from work at the end of the day. Creating cues, such as get...ting changed into your work clothes at the start of the day, and out at the end, can help with this. 2. Pack/prep your food for the day as you would if you were commuting to work. This will ensure you are setting yourself up for success by having a healthy meal and snacks to quickly grab out of the fridge. It will prevent mindless snacking with the temptation of your pantry being only a few steps away! 3. Block out 20-30mins to go for a walk or have lunch outside each day. This allows you to get your daily dose of vitamin D, increasing your energy and mood. 4. Stay hydrated! I encourage my clients to invest in a 1L stainless steel water bottle to keep by their side. 5. Have regular breaks to get up and move around. As you are not walking to meetings, the train station, or car, it’s important to stay active. If possible, schedule in ‘walking meetings’, or set a timer every hour to get up and do some star jumps, squats or pushups. #healthylifestyle #healthy #workingfromhome #homeoffice #health #healthyeating #healthyliving #work #workfromhome

16.01.2022 HOW DO PETS BENEFIT YOUR GUT HEALTH!? New research is showing that households with pets have a greater gut diversity compared to non pet owners. While we've known for years that pets are great for your blood pressure, mood, and stress levels, researchers are starting to get a deeper understanding of how this happens. ... Your personal microbiome is an ecosystem, and just like any other ecosystem, it tends to thrive on diversity. That means that the more types of bacteria you have in the mix, the more likely your microbiome is to be in balance. Just one problem: because of our modern, overzealous notions of cleanliness, many of us strip our surroundings of the beneficial bacteria that can improve our health. Pets have their own distinctive microbiomes, which they cultivate by playing around outside, then spread to their surroundings (and yours) once they come indoors. While this might sound kind of gross, it's actually incredibly beneficial to your health and especially the health of your children. One of the biggest benefits is that those friendly bacteria your pet provides "train" the immune system to react appropriately to things like dust, pollen, and even certain types of food by bringing in lots of different types of bacteria. Children who grow up around animals are much more likely to have immune systems that respond appropriately to stimulifor instance, they're less likely to get the sneezes because of their immune systems mistaking pollen for a dangerous substance, or to have challenges with breathing because of dust. Researchers have found that children who grow up with pets are also much less likely to experience skin over-reactions, particularly if they're exposed to them in the first year of their life or even in the womb.3,4 In fact, children who spend time around animals have lower levels of IgE - a substance that causes the immune system to react to various substances.

01.01.2022 ADRENAL FATIGUE In 2015, surveys revealed the greatest sources of stress were money (67%), work (65%) and family (54%). Two thirds of the people polled said that they have had a diagnosis of at least one chronic illness. Continuous stress causes your body to be constantly in the fight or flight mode because you are overworked and overtired. Your adrenal glands raise your cortisol levels when you are under stress. This is a normal and healthy response to occasional stress.... However, problems arise when the adrenal glands are constantly being stimulated to release stress hormones. Eventually, fatigue sets in, and the overused adrenals can’t keep up and they stop producing enough hormones for you to be able to cope with stress. SYMPTOMS OF ADRENAL FATIGUE Feeling tired all the time Salt and/or Sugar cravings Not waking refreshed in the mornings Difficulty sleeping Energy picks up at night, even though you’ve been tired all day Using coffee and sugar as a pick me up Difficulty handling stressful situations Feeling down Difficulty doing every day tasks If you are struggling with these symptoms you can book an appointment for a personalised treatment plan to help nourish and re-energise your adrenals
