Whoopsies!!
A little boo boo - my bad!!

Let's talk about fuelling exercise.

The right food at the right time.

Our body needs nourishment.
Fuelling exercise is super important for balanced blood glucose, cortisol regulation, and reduced insulin levels.

Working out on an empty stomach is not ideal.

And I realised my error this morning and had to cut my exercise short, to not put my body through the additional stress and experience a glucose crash.

Looking for guidance?
Reach out!

I'd love to support you.

Food is Medicine! And for this month's A-Z of Medicinal Food, we're at Q for Quinoa!

On your quest for adding quality nutrients to your daily diet, quinoa is the quintessential accompaniment to your meals.

Containing higher amounts of protein, fibre, and folate than rice - this pseudo-grain is the perfect replacement when you want to feel fuller for longer without the glucose spike.

Adequate daily protein intake preserves muscle mass, facilitates cellular turnover, and provides the building blocks for the repair and replacement of tissues - did you know the entirety of your digestive tract is replaced every 4-5 days?!

Adequate daily fibre feeds your beneficial gut bugs and supports healthy cholesterol levels.

Folate is important for red blood cell production and DNA synthesis and repair.

Magnesium and iron are minerals required in several cellular processes, supporting thyroid health, energy levels, and nervous system response.

Quinoa boasts these beautiful benefits and makes for a brilliant plant-based protein boost to meals and snacks.

Are you keen for quinoa?
FYI it's pronounced keen-wah, not kwin-oh-ah! 😉
Tell me if you've been saying it wrong for years (or avoided saying it altogether to avoid embarrassment!)

She'll be right, mate!
That classic old Aussie saying that whisks things under the rug when things get tough.
But perhaps it's worth reflecting deeply on just how fortunate we are to have access and choice. Read on 👇

This Australia Day, let's reflect on something we’re incredibly fortunate to have access to — choice in our healthcare 🇦🇺🌿

Here in Australia, we have the opportunity to seek holistic, client-centred care from qualified and accredited professionals (like me! A Clinical Nutritionist), who takes the time to listen, understand, and treat the whole person — not just the symptoms.

It’s empowering to live in a place where I can encourage you to take an active role in your health.

Where education, evidence-informed practice, and personalised care allow you to ask better questions, explore root causes, and make informed decisions that support your long-term wellbeing.

Providing holistic healthcare isn’t about replacing one system with another — it’s about working collaboratively with other health professionals, honouring the uniqueness of each individual, empowering folks to have agency and gain clarity when it comes to making decisions about health, and recognising that "health" is physical, mental, emotional, and social.

Access to this kind of care reminds us that health isn’t something that simply happens to us — it’s something we can actively nurture, protect, and strengthen over time with the right guidance and support. That sense of autonomy is a privilege worth acknowledging and celebrating.

Today feels like a good day to celebrate that freedom — the freedom to choose care that aligns with our values, supports our goals, and helps us take ownership of our health journey.

Wishing you a safe, reflective, and meaningful Australia Day.

A new kind of bucket list....

Restore.
Rebalance.
Rejuvenate.
..

I love making lists!..well mostly, I love crossing things off 😏

Have you made a list for 2026?
Not the kind filled with destinations or deadlines, but one that focuses on how you feel, your energy levels, your blood glucose levels, your digestive function, your long-term health outcomes.

With the right support you can see real change and lasting results.
As a Clinical Nutritionist, I work from a holistic, root-cause framework using standard pathology, microbiome testing, plus dietary and lifestyle assessment to address the key drivers and contributors of your health picture.

It's time to gently restore what’s been depleted, rebalance what’s been out of sync, and rejuvenate your body with the support it needs to heal and flourish.

It's time to transform your health.

Do you subscribe to New Year's Resolutions?
Let's be real - our intentions are always good.
We contemplate carefully and deeply about the changes we'd love to see in the new year and declare this to instigate new beginnings.
It's the concept that a new year metaphorically turns a new leaf. But does it?

Well we're already two weeks in to 2026, and I know I haven't managed to make any changes 😅..yet!

Creating goals is great. However, creating a plan to achieve the goals is far more important.
And that's where shifitng your focus comes in.

Decide on what you'd like to be your focus this year.
Pick a theme.

Better health?
Improved nutrition?
Redcuing stress?
More energy?
Less bloating?

Then, map out the steps to initiate change.

First step - Book a consult to gain professional advice.
www.NFnutritionalmedicine.com.au

Together we will explore:
▫ the factors contributing to your health concerns
▫ recent blood results
▫ gut health (coz let's face it, it is literally the centre of our being!)
▫ food choices and timing
▫ existing health conditions - and how to best manage them

And we'll create a plan to start you on your path to better health.

School Holidays - when the fridge is opened every five minutes and the battle cry of those with seemingly bottomless bellies can be heard throughout the house, "I'm huuuuunnnnggryyyyy" and the all-time grate (like nails down a blackboard) of the very next statement, "there's nothing to eat" is declared while they stare at the contents of the refrigerator (however well-stocked it is!)

If you're nodding your head and rolling your eyes, this my friend is for YOU!

Check out this school holiday saviour - A shake that'll save the day!
Gut friendly, belly-filling, nutritious and delicious.

Personalise the flavours by swapping banana for strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, or mango - and rotate throughout the week to enjoy a satisfying daily milkshake that never gets boring.

This makes a tasty breakfast, and after VacSwim snack, or a mid afternoon top up to tie them over til dinner.

For the final month of 2025 our Food as Medicine focus is at P for Pepitas - or also known as pumpkin seeds.

Pop these precious seeds into your trail mix, breakfast smoothie, or in a crunchy granola topping for your next apple crumble and enjoy the bonus benefits of such a simple inclusion.

Anytime we can add variety and incorporate extra plant foods in our daily diet is worth the minimal effort of tossing in a handful or two of protein rich pepitas!

Bursting with zinc for skin, gut, and hormone health, plus vitamin E for cardiovascular health, folate to support DNA and red blood cell health, and a decent dose of magnesium for energy, sleep, and stress support.

It's definitely worth throwing these tiny green gems into your next meal or snack!

Have you tried them?

Hooley Dooley!!! It's been a massive final week for 2025, with my last day in clinic finishing at 7pm!

I am so incredibly impressed with all the work my beautiful clients have put into improving their health.

Change is HARD, but these guys are absolutely smashing it!! And the reward is better energy, comfortable digestion, restful sleep, gentle weight loss, and brilliant blood test results. Plus, the knowledge that their body is nourished and thriving.

Couldn't have been a better end to a fantastic year.

That's it for me now.
Pants off, on the couch, time to relax!
(Right after I make dinner...)

2026 is going to be epic!

As we come to the end of another year, I want to take a moment to wish you a very Merry Christmas and a happy, healthy, joy-filled New Year.

I’m so grateful for you.
Over the holiday season, I hope you find moments of rest, laughter, connection, and the kind of nourishment that fills more than just your plate — the kind that feeds your heart and spirit too.

✨ Clinic Closure:
Nourish & Flourish Nutritional Medicine will be closed from 5pm Friday 19 December 2025 and will reopen on Monday 5 January 2026.

All messages and bookings will be responded to upon my return.

Wishing you peace, wellbeing, and a relaxed start to 2026.
