25.01.2022 What i’ve been up to, lately, apart from working on my gluten-free sourdough https://www.instagram.com/p/CKXsdeHHJjC/?igshid=j3ryi4r6ebmh

24.01.2022 As the coronavirus robs us of the life we cherish, a renowned therapist has some advice.

23.01.2022 If youre looking for an alternative to commercial hand sanitiser, this will fill the spot, and follows a recipe shared by the WHO, no less! I use it as a hand spritz and surface sanitiser, but IT DOES NOT REPLACE THOROUGH HAND WASHING WITH SOAP AND WATER. 3 parts vodka; 1 part rectified spirit; 2 or 3 tbsp of glycerine; 1 tsp essential oils, including lavender, lemon, eucalyptus, teatree

22.01.2022 This is something that Im swiftly coming to believe: that ancestral food, the food of our genetic heritage and the bloodlines of our family could be the healthiest and most supportive way for us to eat. Our body understands these familiar foods, knows what to do with them, how to utilise their goodness for wellbeing; on a recent scale, our bodies have evolved with them as part of our habitat. And most importantly it illustrates what ive always known and what was taught to m...e at the Institute for Integrative nutrition: there is no one *perfect* diet. This is sorta-kinda like a paleo diet with a twist in the sense that we avoid processed foods and eat close to nature, but how this plays out on your plate will differ widely. With my autoimmune and GI issues, the fermented foods, millet and buckwheat of my Polish / Ukrainian culinary heritage keep my body chugging along, but dont particularly appeal to my partner with an English / Irish / Scottish heritage, who thrives on dairy. https://www.nationalgeographic.com//a-twist-on-paleo-eat-/

22.01.2022 Anyone still baking (or attempting) sourdough, and wondering what to do with the discards? Make veggie pancakes: very yummy, nutrient-dense, economical, and will feed you for dinner and lunch #veggieful #nutrivore #sourdoughstarter #veggiepancakes #nowastedfood

21.01.2022 All of us are living with uncertainty and disruption, and facing down external expectations to stay productive and worthwhile. Here are some activities to help calm the bodymind, restore hope and help you heal.

20.01.2022 Hypothetically, if i were to write a gluten-free baking, high-nutrient, anti-inflammatory cooking, gardening and green cleaning blog, would you be interested in reading it?

20.01.2022 I was unwell lat night and couldnt eat dinner, so its reappeared at brunch. Listen to your body and it will tell you what it needs: thats fundamental and essential self care. #iinhealthcoach #autoimmunewellness #aipdiet #autoimmunepaleoprotocol #hashimotosdisease #radicalselfcare #eattherainbow

20.01.2022 What a perfect morning for a ramble! Blessed Solstice, everyone. The world turns #wintersolstice #outandabout #naturalbeauty

20.01.2022 Techniques for supporting yourself, when youre feeling harried or threatened or when youre spinning out. Shielding is particularly useful before setting out for the day, and something i do regularly, and more often in these difficult times. Look after yourselves

19.01.2022 Heads up, folks: In the coming days, ill be re-visioning this page into a self-sufficiency and gardening blog, a passion ive carried since i was 16. Ill be sharing more basic information on gardening, cooking, preserving produce, non-toxic home and personal care, and any other topic that tweaks my attention or im currently involved in. If you are able to garden and preserve your produce, cook, live a simple, no-fuss life, minimise your footprint on the earth, youll be mu...ch more resilient in these changing times. Please spread the word!

19.01.2022 A beautiful piece about chronic illness. All of us are heroes, every one of us.

18.01.2022 These are difficult times and were having to adjust to a fast rate of change, new challenges, physical, financial and emotional stresses, often in isolation. It can be overwhelming. Dont forget that there are organisations out there that you can turn to for support. You dont have to do this alone. National Coronavirus Hotline (Australia) 1800 020 080...

16.01.2022 Today, a delicious kombucha and fermented broccoli stems were ready for the fridge, and i made some loo bombs. (Snow peas added for their sheer beauty) #iinhealthcoach #guthealth #fermentedfoods #kombucha #cleangreen #monmakes

16.01.2022 While i work on my Spring planting, these marigold petals will slowly dry and encapsulate their magic. Marigold is a local anti-inflammatory, an immune booster, an anti-fungal and antiseptic, a febrifuge and can be used in salads. #kitchenwitchery

16.01.2022 Melbourne is in lockdown, so its the perfect opportunity to catch up on creative projects, and grow my knowledge. #iinhealthcoach #covidlockdown #sustainableliving #creativelife #sourdoughstarter #staysanestaysafe #personalgrowth #gardenprojects

15.01.2022 I think i’ll leave the sourdough to the experts (@sylv22 ) for the moment, because I’m satisfied with the yeast bread I’m producing. Yesterday’s is an honest fruit loaf, containing nothing that would hurt my sensitive self :)#glutenfree #grainfreerecipes #grainfreebread

15.01.2022 Interesting discovery: the leas dense orange sweet potato move to the outer edge of the pan. #foodfacts #sweetpotatolove #organicveggies

14.01.2022 Lemon balm and rosemary cordial for the heart and soul, and with thanks to the bees #medicinalherbs #herbsforhealth #homesteadinglife #stayathome

14.01.2022 I was needing comfort of the most fundamental sort, and had been gifted some starter, which I nurtured, fed with rice flour, and whispered magics to. This is my first successful gluten-free sourdough dough baby. Thank you @sylv22 for the inspiration and challenge #gluten-free #sourdough #glutenfreebread #glutenfreesourdough

14.01.2022 SERIOUS PSA RE: REDUCED LUNG FUNCTION AND BIG BOOBS: Large-Breasted Ladies (and Moobly Gents) if you find yourself short of breath and fear that youve got it... LIFT YOUR GIRLS OFF YOUR CHEST AND BREATHE. If your breath now comes easy, relax, youre good. If still not, see a doc. I was breaking out in a cold sweat earlier thinking I had the shortness of breath symptom only to realize I was resting my forearms on top of my already sizeable Girls while texting a friend. I lifted the Girls and whoosh! In came a very easy breath followed by others, hallelujah, thanks and praise be! Now, you inventor folks out there, get busy and develop our Boobs & Moobs some antigrav units, post-haste! I am a hospital Operating Room trained technician, medical herbalist, and psychologist, offering help from a researched scientific view, and lighter perspectives to lift us all up.

14.01.2022 The last of the of kale has been dehydrated into super green kale powder that i can use to enhance smoothies, soups, stews or as an extra touch of savoury over a salad. Youll never go hungry if you can grow, cook and produce your own food! #iinhealthcoach #nutrivore #organic_gardening #kale #sustainableliving #self_sufficient #never_go_hungry

13.01.2022 Care and maintenance of the COVID-19 isolated human, for Amanda and all of us. Ill write more later.

11.01.2022 Because i had stale sourdough in the fridge AND i hate throwing food out, i decided to make puddina (Maltese bread pudding). Its basically bread reduced to crumb and reconstituted onto a batter with eggs, spice, nuts, seeds, fruit and cocoa and then baked. Slightly sweet, very yum and good any time of day. #nowastedfood #useupleftovers #leftovers #stalebread #sustainablekitchen #breadpudding

11.01.2022 And then I baked a cheesecake my Babcia would approve. For the sake of my poor joints, the neighbours will get most of it ;) #bakedcheesecake #sometimesfood #yum #glutenfreebaking #sharingiscaring #isocooking

10.01.2022 Phillip Carr-Gomm on facing our mortality, and with an excellent grounding meditation. His discussion of Cawstons Landmarks is worthwhile participating in.

10.01.2022 The last of our sweet potatoes are going into veggie soup. This first crop has fed us for a dozen meals and I'm grateful the bounty of our garden, how it nourishes our bodies and souls. #organicgardening #sweetpotato #simplepleasures #slowcooking

07.01.2022 According to the study, the lower the vitamin D levels present in a patients body, the more likely that person will develop severe symptoms and complications. Try to get out into the sun for 20 minutes a day, or use a good quality supplement. Vitamin D can modulate the innate and adaptive immune responses. Deficiency in vitamin D is associated with increased autoimmunity as well as an increased susceptibility to infection.

06.01.2022 In Difficult Times Keep Something Beautiful in Your Heart. There are times when life seems little more than a matter of struggle and endurance, when difficulty and disappointment form a crust around the heart. Because it can be deeply hurt, the heart hardens. There are corners in every heart which are utterly devoid of illusion, places where we know and remember the nature of devastation. Yet though the music of the heart may grow faint, there is in each of us an unprotecte...d place that beauty can always reach out and touch. It was Blaise Pascal who said: In difficult times you should always carry something beautiful in your mind. Rilke said that during such times we should endeavour to stay close to one simple thing in nature. When the mind is festering with trouble or the heart torn, we can find healing among the silence of mountains or fields, or listen to the simple, steadying rhythm of waves. The slowness and the stillness gradually take us over. Our breathing deepens and our hearts calm and our hungers relent. When serenity is restored, new perspectives open to us and difficulty can begin to seem like an invitation to new growth. This is also the experience of prayer. The tired machinations of the ego are abandoned. It no longer needs to push or prove itself in the combat of competition. Beneath the frenetic streams of thought, the quieter, elemental nature of the self takes over and calms our presence. Rather than taking us out of ourselves, nature coaxes us deeper inwards, teaches us to rest in the serenity of our elemental nature. When we go out among nature, clay is returning to clay. We are returning to participate in the stillness of the earth which first dreamed us. This stillness is rich and fecund. One might think that an invitation to enter into the stillness of nature is merely naïve romanticism that likes to indulge itself and escape from the cut and thrust of life into some narcissistic cocoon. This invitation to friendship with nature does of course entail a willingness to be alone out there. Yet this aloneness is anything but lonely. Solitude gradually clarifies the heart until a true tranquillity is reached. The irony is that at the heart of that aloneness you feel intimately connected with the world. Indeed, the beauty of nature is often the wisest balm for it gently relieves and releases the caged mind. Calmness flows in to wash away anxiety and worry. The thirteenth-century mystic Meister Eckhart always encouraged such calmness: Gelassenheit. Over against the world with all its turbulence, distraction and worry, one should cultivate a style of mind that can reach through to an inner stillness and calm. The world cannot ruffle the dignity of a soul that dwells in its own tranquillity. Gradually, this serenity will begin to pervade our seeing and change the way we look at things. ~ John ODonohue
