25.01.2022 There’s something so satisfying about making up your own granola or muesli. It’s being able to add in exactly what you enjoy and leave out the things you don’t. This one is packed full of nuts, seeds and some delicious gluten free grains.... Have a great weekend and get outside to enjoy that sunshine

25.01.2022 MEAT-FREE MEALS Planning for a night or two a week without meat is excellent way to reduce the cost of your food bill, increase your veggie intake and try something new We love chickpeas here. I often use them in a curry or like this...in a stuffed pumpkin.... What’s your favourite vegetarian meal?

25.01.2022 This loaf is high in fiber and the perfect snack or quick and easy breakfast option and lends itself to so many adaptations. Make it gluten free by using quinoa flakes in place of oats (and GF baking powder). Make it lactose or dairy free by incorporating your favourite milk. You can also substitute any frozen berries you’ve got hanging out in the back of your freezer.... http://nourishinglifenutrition.net//01/27/raspberry-oat-l/

23.01.2022 B VITAMINS Each of B Vitamin has an important role to play in the body and are equally as important as the next to make sure your getting enough of them in your diet. But in a nut shell, they work together to support energy production.... Increase your vitamin B intake by eating a range of whole foods specifically chicken, lamb, beef, wheat germ, nutritional yeast, rice bran, almonds, pecans, green leafy vegetables, bananas, seafood, and eggs.

23.01.2022 2020 I cannot believe the year is almost over! Today I realised that it’s only one month until Christmas ... I’m looking forward to spending some time off over the Christmas/New Year period with my family. So, if you’ve been thinking about getting in to see me before the year ends then you better get in quick!

23.01.2022 Always planning what’s next on the menu. #nutritionistlife

22.01.2022 That Afternoon Slump... Normally caused by a dip in blood sugar that may leave you craving a quick hit of sugar to get your through the rest of the day. When you hit that afternoon slump try adding a little extra protein and fibre into your routine instead.... Protein and fibre are slower to digest and can help to stay you fuller for longer. Try: ^ Fruit with some nut butter ^ Boiled egg and hummus ^ Grainy bread and some avocado ^ A slice loaf with some yoghurt on top

22.01.2022 Playing around with old classics is my favourite thing about recipe writing. Check out these gorgeous mini carrot cakes. So delicious and packed full of flavour Have a great weekend everyone!

21.01.2022 CHRISTMAS BAKING Are you into it? I’m working on a nutritious gingerbread recipe to be uploaded to my website (hopefully because Christmas arrives )... You’ll never guess what’s going into it! Something quiet unexpected!

20.01.2022 CLINIC I’ve been back in the beautiful space for a couple weeks now. It has been so great to get to see my patients face-to-face again and meet a few new ones for the first time as well!... I’m here every Friday and every second Saturday. I you’ve been contemplating getting your health back on track, now’s never been a better time!

18.01.2022 There’s worse than soggy leftover salad if you ask me. We’re coming into salad season now which is great because it’s a brilliant way to get a ton of veg into your day. But when we’re busy, preparing salad ahead of time or having leftovers ends up a bit...... Here’s a couple tips... Don’t add lettuce or dressing until you’re ready to eat and/or Use kale which is really hardy and wilting won’t destroy the entire salad Omit the leafy greens altogether and go for cooked veg, fruits and grains Got any other tips? I’d love to hear them!

18.01.2022 What. A. Year. Last day consulting for 2020 today. What a year it has been.... Thank you to everyone who has supported this small business through probably one of the toughest years we’ve ever experienced. There are so many exciting things happening in 2021. I can’t wait to share it all with you in the new year. Have a wonderful and safe Christmas break!

18.01.2022 AVOCADOS Every. Time. What a fickle fruit!... But don’t give up on them. They’re so versatile and jam packed full of goodness like monounsaturated fat (one of the good ones) plus they’re also a great source of fibre. So eat up!

17.01.2022 Marinated Salmon 1 tablespoon Gevity Rx BOOST Bone broth 3 tablespoons water 2 fillets of salmon... Combine @gevityrx BOOST bone broth and water in a small mixing bowl then pour over salmon, cover and marinate for 45 minutes in the fridge. Bake at 160C for 10 15 minutes depending on size of fillet. I served this alongside some brown rice cooked with a 1 tablespoon of @gevityrx NATURAL Bone Broth and water and a big serve of greens I love using bone broth in my cooking. It add so much flavour and extra nutrients into my cooking. @gevityrx have a beautiful range of bone broths to suit almost any dietary need. I picked up BOOST which is promotes energy, brain power and heart health and a jar of NATURAL which is perfect for protecting immunity, improving sleep and is also FODMAP friendly!

17.01.2022 FIBRE It’s recommended that we get about 25-30g per day and many of us could benefit from even more than this! But sadly, so many of us don’t even get close to the recommended requirements each day. Fibre is important for good gut health, helping to lower cholesterol and aids in nutrient absorption.... Fruits, vegetables, legumes, nuts, seeds and whole grains are all excellent forms of soluble and insoluble fibre and a variety of these should be incorporated into a balanced diet.

16.01.2022 { Mango Nice-Cream } My kids have been going nuts for this lately. We’ve been enjoying it for afternoon tea, but it makes a pretty good breakfast as well (with a few extra toppings). All you need is:... 2 frozen mango cheeks, cut into small pieces 1/4 cup of any milk 1 tablespoon maple syrup Blend until smooth. You might need to stir it around a little throughout to blend up every piece of mango, depending on your blender. Serve immediately and enjoy!

16.01.2022 { I made a pie } I’ve got to be honest, pies are definitely not something I make very frequently. In fact, this evening I was told dinner is very different tonight not sure if it was a complement or what ... Last night’s roast chook provided us with another meal tonight where I used up a bunch of leftover veggies and some random pastry I purchased a few weeks ago and never used. Plus some bone broth I’ll freeze for some future meals. The meal that keeps on giving! Do you have a meal that gives and gives?

16.01.2022 Pasta We eat it every week at my place. My kids love it and so do I! There are so many varieties available now and it’s very likely you’ll find one that’ll suit your dietary needs.... Legume, high fibre, wholemeal, spelt the list goes on. What’s your favourite?

14.01.2022 PORRIDGE It’s definitely still porridge weather for me! My base recipe for porridge is:... 1/3 cup whole oats 2/3 cup milk (or alternative - I use almond milk) Cook on high in the microwave for 1min 30sec, stir and cook for another minute and stir. Add fruit, yoghurt, nut butter, spice, seeds, nuts...whatever you enjoy. Have a great weekend x

13.01.2022 { VITAMIN D } Vitamin D is so important for the absorption of calcium, immune function, heart, and thyroid health. For most of us, we obtain our vitamin D via the sun and from a few dietary sources (fairly limited) such as oily fish and egg yolks. It is then metabolised in the liver and converted to the active form by the kidneys.... Today probably isn’t the day to be getting out and topping up your vitamin d though. Make sure you stay safe, cover up when you’re outside and having a little extra water than you would normally. If you have any concerns, make sure you speak to your GP about getting a blood test.

11.01.2022 FATIGUE Fatigue in its basic form is a physical or mental state of being tired. Fatigue can contribute to symptoms such as mood disturbances, brain fog, muscle aches and pains and/or a reduction in stamina and endurance.... The cause of fatigue may be to do with many underlying factors from nutritional deficiencies, poor sleep quality, chronic stress or an impairment with your cellular ‘powerhouses’ known as your mitochondria which are responsible for producing energy within your cells. The fix may not as simple as a good nights sleep for some, so making sure you get the right advice for your circumstances is extremely important.

10.01.2022 Sweet potato One of my favs Such a versatile veg that’s a good source of vitamin A, potassium and a great source of fibre too. It’s also categorised as a low GI vegetable which is excellent for blood sugar regulation.... I love it cut into fries and baked with a little olive oil or just like this - topped with a ton of veg and a good source of protein.

10.01.2022 OVERNIGHT OATS I’m such a fan of oats! Now that the weather’s warming up a little, it might be time for me to move on from the porridge and start making some overnight oats again. This is my basic overnight oats:... 1/3 cup oats 1/3 cup almond milk 1 teaspoon chia seeds 1 teaspoon coconut 1/4 teaspoon vanilla paste Cover and place in the fridge and top with what ever your hearts desire in the morning.

10.01.2022 Veggie Omelette My go to for lunch when I’m in a rush or don’t know what I feel like. 2 eggs... 4 mushrooms 2 small stalks of kale 5 cherry tomatoes 1/4 cup cheese 1 teaspoon dried chives Enjoy! #recipeshare #recipevideo #recipeblog #recipesharing #omelettes #omeletterecipe #eggsallday #eggsofinstagram #eggsfordays #healthylunches #healthylunchideas #healthymealideas #nutritioniskey #nutritionmatters #veggierecipes #vegetableslover #geelongnutritionist #geelongsmallbusiness #geelongbusiness #geelongsocialmedia #mygtlife #geelongfood

10.01.2022 {my top tips for Christmas} Enjoy the celebrations Don’t forget to drink some water... That’s all really x

07.01.2022 { Snacking Tip } Foods that are high in fibre, quality protein and/or full of good fats are slower to digest which may assist in managing blood sugar and appetite controls until your next main meal. Reach for whole foods like fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds when you’re feeling a bit peckish.... It may not surprise you, but these brownies are packed full of all the good stuff. I have a recipe for chocolate brownies on my website along with many other delicious snack ideas

06.01.2022 SARDINES Well, you might say yuk! But if you’re a fan of tuna, then I suggest giving sardines a go.... They’re salty in flavour and go great on a slice of toast of mixed through a salad. They’re an excellent of protein (approx. 20g/100g) and have an equal source of mono and polyunsaturated fats which are the fats we want in our diet. As well as that, they’re also high in selenium, zinc, calcium and potassium. Give them a go!!!

04.01.2022 Already dreaming of breakfast tomorrow morning! Looking forward to jumping in my time machine and get stuck into these in the morning Chocolate protein pancakes - recipe on my website

03.01.2022 { Peanut Butter } Do you know easy it is to make yourself? 1. Roast 500g unsalted peanuts on a large lined baking at 170c until some begin to turn golden and begin to release their oil... 2. Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly 3. Add peanuts to a food processor (something with a lid that allows ventilation) 4. Blend until smooth and creamy - this can take up to 10 mins. It’ll start getting hot, so stop and rest every now and then 5. Transfer to a clean jar with a lid! Enjoy!

02.01.2022 MANGO LASSI SMOOTHIE Here’s a delicious summer time smoothie that incorporates @gevityrx AM Cleanse Body Glue Bone Broth. It isn’t just for hot drinks and savoury foods! You’ll want to save this one for sure!... You will need: cup frozen mango 1 teaspoon @gevityrx AM Cleanse Body Glue Bone Broth 2 tablespoons cashew nuts 1 tablespoon coconut flakes 1 teaspoon maple syrup 2 tablespoons coconut yoghurt - 1 cup ice cold water Blend until smooth and enjoy x If you want to recreate this one at home be sure to use the code SUMMER10 to get 10% off Gevityrx products! #summerguthealth #gevityrx #brothinfused #gevitygang

02.01.2022 ....and whole foods. Whole foods are full of protein, fibre and/or good fats and are metabolised very differently to their processed counterparts.

02.01.2022 CHRISTMAS HOLIDAYS UPDATE Christmas will be here before we know it! I will be taking a break from 18th of December and returning to the clinic on the 8th of January 2021 to spend some much-needed time with my family.... Unfortunately, I cannot take on any new clients at this time, but rest assured there are plenty of spots available in the new year. Once I return from my break, I will be back in the clinic again every Friday and every second Saturday. Please do not hesitate to get in contact if you need any support over this time.

01.01.2022 In this month’s newsletter I had the pleasure of talking with Narelle from Simply Happy Wellness Coaching. Narelle is a mum, PE teacher, wellness coach and Yin & Nidra yoga instructor. She is someone I often point my clients in the direction of when life is a little hectic on the home front. I have had the pleasure of attending one of Narelle’s Nidra yoga classes as well. Let me tell you, that night I slept like a log!... You can read my interview with her in this months newsletter being sent out on Friday. Not a subscriber? There’s a link in my bio
