23.01.2022 Christmas is the easiest time to eat yourself into a food coma, and not know how to re-surface. I want you to go out today and buy these simple ingredients! Why? Because it makes a delicious smoothie, one you should start your day with. It is healthy, nutritious, and jam-packed with two serves of vegetables. Okay, so go and buy/ prep: frozen zucchini... handful spinach frozen banana 1 cup frozen pineapple 50mls coconut water (more if you want it thinner, less if you want it thick like a smoothie bowl) teaspoon grated ginger tablespoon collagen Blend all ingredients until smooth, and enjoy!

23.01.2022 I finally made the @baked_byace ice cream sandwich. I have made both their standard brownie and then this. To be honest, the cookies look great and they taste good too but their caramel brownies would be what I would make again. It sounds crazy because you use the same mix for both but I just honestly loved the brownie version more. Would you like to see me do more food reviews??

22.01.2022 Do you need a top up of herbs to get your through the holiday period? I’ll be mixing tomorrow and express posting them out if you need anything. Please get in contact ASAP.

22.01.2022 Yesterday I spoke about how I wanted my business to work, but how it had started to veer in a different direction. I was often noticing how life in general would take over, and my clients lost motivation and time to continue our plan together. This breaks my heart as I know that with just a couple more sessions we would have hit the health jack-pot and now they would feel amazing. So, today, I am excited to tell you about how TRN will operate going forward: ... I will meet every client with a discovery call. Over twenty minutes we will discuss your health, your goals, and your level of commitment. We will then kick off the "WORK WITH ME" package which is made up of: 1x inital consult 3x follow up consults Access to a members only group (more to come on this) Together, over the course of this package we will see results. When the time comes to part ways we know life long changes have been made, and I will sleep happier and much easier at night. I hope that this package makes sense to you, and is of interest to those of you who had considered working with me. You can find more information on my website! https://www.theruralnaturopath.com/appointments

Tonight Ill be running a bath, making myself a chai tea and watching some Netflix.... What are you doing today or this weekend to celebrate international self care day?

21.01.2022 Christmas dinner doesn't end with the Ham, does it? we've got traditions, and they are full of sugar and gluten (and boy they are delicious.) I am sure many of you will resonate with me here that after eating all that sugar and gluten-filled dessert, you find yourself looking for that couch or comfy chair for an afternoon nap. So I thought why not share with you a healthy Christmas pudding recipe that is gluten-free and refined sugar-free, and is still oh, so delicious! ... I hope you love it!

20.01.2022 PEANUT BUTTER Peanut butter was a hot topic on my Instagram stories last night. Sooooo many of you gave me your favourite brands of peanut butter plus so many of you also make your own peanut butter at home. I often make my own but sometime go for the convenience of pre made. In the past Ive made almond butter, peanut butter and even ABC butter.... Its super easy. Basically all you need to do is add your favourite nuts into a powerful blender and blend. Ive found peanut butter doesnt take as long as almond butter as peanuts are a lot softer than almonds. Let me know? Have you made your own nut butters? Was it a success? Whats your favourite to make. PS - With all this talk of nut butters now I want to make my own healthier Nutella version. How good would that be??

19.01.2022 I have officially launched my new "work with me" package, which is a huge weight lifted off my shoulders, but I still have one more thing to tell you about... The exclusive members only area (yet to be named) - this area is going to be jam packed with amazing value, and I am so excited to tell you all about it. In the members only area you will be able to find: ... Over 80 of my favourite recipes that I have created. Family favourites, with ingredients that are easy to get, and even your husband will enjoy! Country cooking with a healthy flare. Fact sheets - got a question about a fad diet, I will give you my honest opinion there. Wondering where to get calcium from if you arent having dairy, it will be there. Ive collaborated with some of my favourite bush exercise specialists that can give you a taster of what they offer and a great starting point of movement options that you can do at home, with minimal time and minimal equipment. Basically all my secrets, from my favourite brands, to health foods. Private members only Facebook page, where I will check in each week LIVE, give you a cup full of motivation, be real with you when things are hard ect. Lots of fun bonuses which I know you will love. Seriously though, how amazing does this exclusive member area sound? Hands up if this is something you would love to be in?

18.01.2022 Weathers getting warmer and many of us are looking for a cold breakfast alternative to porridge. Why not try a chia pudding?? They are fantastic to be made in advanced, the perfect grab and go breakfast or mid afternoon snack. I hope you enjoy the recipe ...

18.01.2022 NEW WEEK NEW GOAL Im not going to lie, Ive been burning the candle at both ends, seeing patients, working on our new membership platform, renovating a house in 30 days, plus getting ready for the busy season on the farm.

16.01.2022 Confession time... why Ive really been absent on social media recently Today I wanted to share something personal with you. Some more information about why Ive been so absent from social media. Ive been hiding because you may think in parts of this story its not what a true naturopath should do. But I feel sharing this story will help so many of you. The key take home messages I want you to remember. ... 1. Dont put your health off, get help, theres always something you can do. 2. Out source to a health care professional. You cant be objective in your own health. 3. Stool tests arent as scary as they sound and can be really beneficial in your treatment. 4. Antibiotics are ok if you really need them. Just make sure you take your probiotics too. 5. Get your tank water tested or even better get a filter system on your tank. If you dont have an issue now, its honestly just a matter of time. See more

15.01.2022 Ive been trialing some better flour alternatives to make it easy for my clients to make healthy wholesome changes to the standard white flour. I made these pancakes with rye flour and I was AMAZED how well they turned out. Now rye and spelt arent gluten free but much easier to digest, plus being higher in protein and fibre. Ive also ordered some lupin flour which is coming this week which is gluten free and sounds amazing so Ill keep you updated. Lots of recipe testing is happening the kitchen at the moment for some exciting new things Im working on. Cant wait to share with you soon.

14.01.2022 How’s everyone feeling post Christmas? I had a lovely couple of days with family and then straight back into harvesting trying to get as much done before we got a little rain yesterday. After a couple a couple of days of enjoying Christmas and all the foods that come with Christmas and it’s left me feeling completely drained. Yesterday and moving forward I started to make sure my priority is to add extra vegetables to every meal as well as drink minimum 2 L of water per day. ...I’m back to fuelling my body with the food my body thrives on.

14.01.2022 ROAD TRIP Well not exactly but I did hit the road to visit some clients in my local area. I love that I can pop round and help families in my community improve their health. We were hoping 2020 might have been the year to go on an actual road trip to some remote areas and offer events and services in their area but it mightnt be.... However we do have our thinking caps on for 2021 to connect, support and empower rural communities throughout Australia. Where would you like us to visit?

14.01.2022 Healthy meals dont have to be anything fancy. People often get caught up with fad diets and what not to eat. Instead of focusing on nourishing REAL foods. This was a quick and easy meal of wild caught salmon, roasted sweet potatoes, and some stir fry veg. I find I dont love cooking salmon but when I cook it and begin to eat it I LOVE IT! Whats your go to dinner?

13.01.2022 Did you know that after 1 course of antibiotics is can take up to 6 months to restore harmony in your digestive system? SAVE this post for the next time you are prescribed antibiotics! YUPP, true story Antibiotics work hard to kill any bad bacteria you might have floating around your system, but they are SO strong that they can also kill your good bacteria ...

12.01.2022 I have so many feelings about this post, because it is vulnerable for both myself, and my business. I have worked so hard over the last few years to create a structure that suits both me, and my clients, with the main goal of getting incredible results for them while making them feel supported, connected and empowered about their health. I love working with so many amazing men and women but from time to time, I see clients get busy, drift off, and lose contact. When this happ...ens we aren't able to achieve the best treatment outcomes as quickly and easily as possible. I get 110% invested in my clients, and want to see them get the best results. I want them to feel amazing, supported, connected, and empowered. So, this week I am introducing a new package, one that I know will both help you and me get the results you have been dreaming of. Who can guess what it might be?

12.01.2022 How is it almost Christmas? This time of the year is stressful for many. Harvest, Christmas, School Holidays.

12.01.2022 Have you been burning the candle at both ends? Not looking after your self first? I hear you. Ive been there. If we continue on this path, burn out is inevitable. WHAT IS BURNOUT? ... Burnout is a state of emotional, physical, and mental exhaustion caused by excessive and prolonged stress. It occurs when you feel overwhelmed, emotionally drained, and unable to meet constant demands. As the stress continues, you begin to lose the interest and motivation that led you to take on a certain role in the first place. Burnout reduces productivity and zaps your energy, leaving you feeling increasingly helpless, hopeless, cynical, and resentful.

11.01.2022 CHOICES CHOICES CHOICES We make thousands of choices every day, yes thousands, maybe even 10s of thousands. It's estimated that the average adult makes about 35,000 remotely conscious decisions each day. Sometimes we make "unhealthy" choices, sometimes we don't. But don't let one poor choice turn into a day of "unhealthy" choices. Make the next one better. You may have eaten that chocolate bar, but let's make sure we choose the water instead of the soft drink, the veggies with dinner instead of takeaway. Don't let one bad choice ruin the possibility of thousands of of good choices you can make every day. YOU'VE GOT THIS!

10.01.2022 How do you start your morning? I am sure many of you have minimal time to yourself some mornings, from getting kids lunchboxes ready, to making breakfast and running out the door with a simple bit of toast. But I ask you, how would your day be if you started your day with more ease, flow, and structure? What if you started your day journaling, sipping on your tea, and even getting a morning walk or yoga flow in. ... Would you be more calm? More energise? More productive? Happier? I challenge you to set your alarm this week, a fraction earlier to see if you can start your day with a morning ritual. I can tell you its definitely helped me.

10.01.2022 Ive spoken to so many women this week who are really struggling with mental load. So many feeling overwhelmed, burnt out, and unsure how to progress further. Whos feeling the mental load at the moment?? WHAT IS MENTAL LOAD? The mental load is a term for the invisible labor involved in managing a household and family, which generally falls on the women's shoulders. The mental load is about not the physical tasks but rather the overseeing of many tasks.

09.01.2022 NEW PODCAST - EP3 Ben Brooksby - Managing your mental health Mental Health is a problematic issue around the world that until recently has often been ignored. Ben Brooksby is the founder of The Naked Farmer, a social media movement aiming to break down the difficult conversational barriers that often lay in front of people struggling to speak up on whats going on inside. By using the liberating combination of nudity and farm work, the Naked Farmer is starting conversations a...bout mental health across Australia because at the end of the day it’s easier to talk about what’s inside once someone has bared everything on the outside. But Ben is has also suffered from his own battles with mental health. He also knows first hand the struggles associated with busy periods on the farm in particular harvest. I thought he would be the best person to reach out to and have him share his story and what has helped him overcome his battle with mental health. But his knowledge and first hand experience of surviving through the harvest season he has some incredible tips and advice for us all. He didn't mention in the interview but he has also just released a book, so please make sure you had over and check that out too!

04.01.2022 WHAT IS A NATUROPATH? I think sometimes that the word "Naturopath" can scare people off that we are all herb loving, vegan hippies. But someone stopped and asked me what a Naturopath actually does the other day, and it clicked in my mind for a moment, maybe not everyone understands what a Naturopath does. SO, I thought I would break it down into a couple easy explanations for you. 1We look at the WHOLE person. Get to the root cause of your health issues. 2We want to get ...long lasting results for patients, so there's not often quick fixes or bandaids. We are striving for those long lasting, sustainable results. 3Treatments will often include diet changes, lifestyle suggestions and herbs or nutrients. Those are only 3 things a Naturopath does, but I could have added so much more. Maybe I should do an IGTV on this, too. What do you think?
