🍎 Feeding Therapy Fun! 🥕
In our sessions, it’s not just about playing with food (though we love that part too!) — we also learn where our food comes from 🌱 and how to choose the foods that help our bodies grow strong and healthy 💪✨

📸 this is a picture of us learning which foods grow in the ground or above the ground and how they might look on our plate eg:

🌾 wheat ➡️ flour ➡️ 🍞or hot cross buns (a favourite)

Building confidence, curiosity, and positive food experiences — one bite at a time! 💚

PCOS at a Glance…

Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) is a common hormonal condition affecting women of reproductive age. It can influence menstrual cycles, fertility, skin, mood, and metabolism.

Nutrition plays a key role in managing symptoms and supporting hormonal balance. Here’s what we focus on:
• Balancing blood sugars
• Anti-inflammatory eating
• Supporting gut health
• Managing weight (if appropriate)
• Reducing symptoms like fatigue, cravings & irregular periods
• Key nutrients: fibre, omega-3s, and important micronutrients like zinc, magnesium, and B vitamins

There’s no one-size-fits-all with PCOS — our dietitians tailor nutrition strategies to your body, lifestyle, and goals.

Need support with PCOS? We’re here to guide you.

Endometriosis & Gut Health 🌸💛

Did you know that women with endometriosis are 3x more likely to experience IBS symptoms? Bloating, pain, diarrhoea, and constipation are all common struggles.

Many women find relief with the low FODMAP diet, which can help ease symptoms—but it’s important to get the right guidance from a dietitian.

💡 On top of IBS, endometriosis is also linked to gut dysbiosis, meaning an imbalance between harmful and beneficial gut bacteria.

✨ The good news? Probiotics & prebiotics can help stabilize the gut and improve symptoms! Swipe for some simple ways to include them in your day.

Endometriosis Awareness Month 💛✨

Did you know that nutrition can play a key role in managing endometriosis symptoms? The right foods can help reduce pain, inflammation, and hormonal imbalances while supporting overall well-being.

Here’s how:
🍇 Anti-inflammatory & antioxidant foods – Think berries, leafy greens, nuts, and seeds to fight inflammation.
🐟 Omega-3s & Vitamin E – Found in fatty fish, walnuts, and sunflower seeds to help reduce pain.
🌱 Soy products – Can help lower inflammation and pain.
🥦 High-fiber foods – Whole grains, fruits, and veggies assist in oestrogen balance, which is key for managing symptoms.

A simple place to start? Aim for 2 pieces of fruit + veggies at each meal to support hormone balance and reduce inflammation.

It’s still Endometriosis Awareness Month, and we’re here to bring you tips, tricks, and important information to raise awareness for a condition that affects 1 in 7 women. We’re also sharing key nutrition strategies that can help improve symptom management.

So, what is endometriosis?

Endometriosis is a condition where tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside of it, leading to pain, inflammation, and other symptoms that can significantly impact daily life.

When it comes to nutrition, there isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach. Your symptoms will determine the best dietary strategies for you. Over the month, we’ll explore different ways that nutrition can help, including:

✅ Reducing inflammation through diet
✅ Addressing key nutrients that support symptom management
✅ Exploring dietary approaches like a gluten-free or low FODMAP diet (if relevant to your symptoms)

Stay tuned as we dive deeper into how small dietary changes can make a big difference for endometriosis management!

🌸 Welcome to Endometriosis Awareness Month! 💛

Endometriosis affects 1 in 7 people assigned female at birth, yet it often goes undiagnosed for years. It’s more than just “bad periods” – it can cause chronic pain, fatigue, bloating, and IBS-like symptoms, impacting daily life.

The good news? Nutrition can help. By focusing on gut health, reducing inflammation, and balancing hormones, the right dietary approach can play a role in managing symptoms and improving quality of life.

This month, we’re shining a light on the connection between nutrition and endometriosis—because everyone deserves to feel heard, supported, and empowered.

If you’re struggling with pain, bloating, or gut issues, we’re here to help. Reach out to learn more!
