25.01.2022 Pesto is a brilliant way to add herbs + greens into your diet which are so therapeutic - basil commonly used in pesto has a range of anti-inflammatory and antioxidant compounds #foodismedicine I often encourage my clients to make some pesto each week and keep it in the fridge. Stir through pasta for a quick meal or add as a sauce to lift a meal, or bring a nourish bowl together Pesto can easily be made low FODMAP (just use garlic infused evoo instead of garlic) ... #endometriosiswarrior #foodismedicine #pesto #endometriosisdiet #endodiet #nutritionist #clinicalnutritionist #evoo #endometriosis #womenshealth #adenomyosis #simplefood #lowfodmap #irritablebowelsyndrome #gutfriendly #eatyourgreens #basil #antiinflammatory #ahealthynut #wholefoods #jerf See more

23.01.2022 Do you have a mixed bag of symptoms that never seem to improve despite trying every IBS diet out there? Consider histamine intolerance... Histamine intolerance occurs when the body struggles to breakdown histamine in the diet due to deficiencies in digestive enzymes such as DAO Symptoms can vary but can include headaches, excess mucous, bloating, heart palpitations, flushing and fatigue... What causes histamine intolerance? Hormone imbalances are one cause. When estrogen is in excess, histamine also increases There's a greater chance of histamine intolerance with IBS, SIBO and dysbiosis (imbalanced gut flora) Mutation of the MTHFR gene may also play a role Certain medications can block DAO / release excess histamine Chronic stress Just following a low histamine diet won't fix the problem long term. As always it's about finding and addressing the root cause Do you have histamine intolerance? Or suspect you have it? #histamine #histamineintolerance #SIBO #sibodiet #nutritionist #estrogen #hormoneimbalances #hormones #irritablebowelsyndrome #ibsdiet #bloating #endobelly #endometriosisdiet #mthfr #nutrigenomics #bloatedbelly #foodintolerance #digestivehealth

23.01.2022 Insulin resistance is a driver behind ~70% of PCOS cases. This means that an anti-inflammatory diet with complex carbohydrates is one of the important features of the management of insulin resistant PCOS. Learn more about the management of PCOS at my live presentation for @qendoau 24th September. Do you have endometriosis and PCOS? I'll be talking about how I approach the management of both of these conditions.

20.01.2022 Happy Women's Health Week! From the team at Pear Exercise Physiology: Pregnancy & Women's Health

19.01.2022 PCOS can't be diagnosed by ultrasound alone. Other signs and symptoms present can be irregular periods or lack of ovulation, or excessive androgens (male hormones) which can be seen as facial hair growth or scalp hair loss, acne or through testing. If you have PCOS come along to my presentation on Thursday for @qendoau I'll be talking about the underlying drivers, diet, gut health, supplements and lifestyle. I'll also be taking about my approach to endometriosis and PCOS....

16.01.2022 5 reasons to eat your greens everyday: 1. They're a good source of magnesium which can help with pain 2. Cruciferous veg (broccoli, kale, brussel sprouts, cabbage etc) support estrogen metabolism which in turn can help with PMS and hormone dependent conditions such as endometriosis... 3. Spinach, broccoli and other cruciferous veg are good sources of vitamin E and C which can help decrease period pain 4. Some greens such as avocado and broccoli are rich in glutathione a powerful antioxidant 5. Dark leafy greens are a source of calcium which isn't just needed for healthy bones, low calcium can contribute to fatigue and PMS On my plate are leafy greens, cauliflower hash and a poachie #eatyourgreens #pms #hormones #endowarriors #endometriosis #endodiet #endometriosisdiet #periodpain #periodsbelike #endobelly #fertility #nutritionalmedicine #brisbanenutritionist #womenshealth #pcos #greens #fibroids #estrogen #clinicalnutritionist #onmyplate

10.01.2022 Unless you're vegetarian including 3 serves of low mercury fish per week, in addition to regular intake of plant based sources such as chia, flax and hemp seeds, is a great way to get healthy fats - aka omega 3 fats in your diet. With seafood consumption you get the added benefits of protein, zinc and iodine. Omega 3 fats are anti-inflammatory which is why they're so beneficial for endometriosis. But they can also help with depression, and are shown to be preventative aga...inst a range of diseases. Some species of low mercury, high omega 3 fatty acid fish / seafood are easier to find than you think - and tinned varieties are fine to eat as well. Look for: Sardines Oysters Anchovies Wild Alaskan Salmon Small species of tuna such as Skipjack Small species of mackerel such as Atlantic Don't like fish? Talk to your health practitioner about whether a quality EPA/DHA supplement is right for you. P.S. This dish is teriyaki salmon taken from my 7 day meal plan - available for free from my website #omega3s #endowarriors #sustainable #endometriosis #endometriosisdiet #antiinflammatory #adenomyosis #chronicillness #womenshealth #depression #endometriosisdiet #endobelly #chronicfatigue #endosisters #clinicalnutritionist #nutritionalmedicine #chroniccondition #pcos #foodismedicine See more

07.01.2022 Do you experience bloating or constipation? Twists are a beautiful way to support digestion and release tension. A reclined twist is an even better approach if you're wanting to relax. If you have endometriosis or period pain then go gently - deep twists can trigger pain #digestivehealth #endometriosis #yogateacher #guthealth #constipation #endobelly #bloatedbelly #nutritionist #relax #yogini #mindbody #mindfulness #yogaforpain #periodpain #pelvicpain #womenshealth #brisbaneyoga #brisbanenutritionist #pcos #menstrualhealth #pms

06.01.2022 Eating food prepared at home is one of the single best things you can do for your health. It sounds obvious, but takeaway food is so easily accessible for most, it makes it an attractive choice. But most restaurants make food to taste good - not necessarily to be good for you. Do you struggle with making home cooked meals? Here are some tips: Keep it simple i.e. veggie pasta, soup, a slow-cooker meal, or a traybake... Remember that habits take time to change, so go slowly - start with swapping 1 takeaway meal per week with a home cooked meal. Make extra so you have leftovers Plan which meals you'll make at home in advance #homecook #wholefoods #chronicillness #endometriosis #hormonehealth #chronicfatigue #endosisters #pcos #endometriosisdiet #jerf #guthealth #foodismedicine #nutritionalmedicine #nutrients #womenshealth #jerf #brisbanemums #brisbanenutritionist #selfcare #selflove #nutrition #periodsbelike See more

05.01.2022 Do you experience endo belly? SIBO is a common cause! If you have endo you're more likely to have IBS, which means you have much higher chance of having SIBO (or small intestine bacterial overgrowth). The good news is that SIBO can be treated. Did you know I've completed postgraduate studies on SIBO? Come and see me if you suspect SIBO or book at 10 minute discovery call through the website ... #SIBO #SIBOdiet #bacterialovergrowth #irritablebowelsyndrome #bloating #endobelly #endometriosis #endosisters #chronicillness #foodintolerance #guthealth #gutbacteria #smallintestinalbacterialovergrowth #clinicalnutritionist #brisbanenutritionist See more

03.01.2022 Mental health issues are common when you have a chronic condition. Supporting the nervous system and improving mental health is one of my highest priorities when I treat my patients. Nutrition and gut health are both important when it comes to mental health, but so are techniques such as mindfulness - I love using my skills as a yoga and meditation teacher, and weave in techniques such as mindfulness where appropriate Double tap if you agree that nutrition, gut health... and lifestyle are all key to improving mental health #mentalhealth #depression #anxiety #nutritionist #nutrition #chronicillness #fatigue #guthealth #mindfulness #endowarriors #endometriosis #adenomyosis #pcos #womenshealth #brisbanemums #pms #hormones #hormonehealth #hormonalimbalances See more

02.01.2022 Mental health issues are common in both endometriosis and PCOS. Do what you need to do to protect your mental health - set boundaries, seek therapy, take time out, but also consider nutrition: In addition to diet and improving gut health, many supplements offer support for mental health issues such as magnesium, GABA, L-theanine, NAC and 5-HTP to name a few.

01.01.2022 Estrogen detoxification can supported by diet, but also with the help of supplements such as DIM which supports phase 1 detoxification through the liver. Other nutrients help with phase 2 detoxification such as magnesium and B vitamins (and many more..) If your gut health isn't up to scratch, then you may need some help from Calcium D Glucarate to make sure estrogen isn't recycled through your body!... Be careful if you want to use these supplements and always seek advice from a health professional so you get a therapeutic dose from a quality practitioner grade supplement #endometriosis #endometriosisdiet #estrogen #liverdetoxification #SIBO #hormonehealth #hormones #nutritionist #chronicillness #guthealth #pelvicpain #periodsbelike #irritablebowelsyndrome #adenomyosis #estrogendominance #womenshealth #endobelly #chronicpain #endometriosisdiet #clinicalnutritionist #endometriosisexpert See more
