When your lunch is low-key working on your anxiety 🧡

This isn’t just a pretty salad (so pretty though right!). No, it’s actually packed with omega-3s 🐟, one of the most powerful nutrients for supporting your mood and your gut health.

Oily fish like smoked salmon contain EPA and DHA, two forms of omega-3 fatty acids that:

🧠 Help reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression

🌿 Lower gut inflammation and support the gut lining

🧬 Promote healthy gut bacteria, especially when paired with antioxidant-rich foods like tomatoes and fresh basil

The brain and gut are constantly talking via the gut-brain axis and omega-3s help keep that communication clear, calm, and supported. They nourish your cell membranes (especially in the brain), regulate inflammation, and support neurotransmitter function.

So yes, food is fuel… but it’s so much more. A salad like this can literally help you feel more emotionally grounded and physically nourished.

Want a wintery alternative? Put the salad in a Turkish roll with some red pesto (trust me!)

Want to learn how to add more omega 3s into your week and make them taste delicious like this?! DM me and let’s chat 💛

Want an easy way to add some PROBIOTICS to your food?

Try a PICKLE & CHEESE TOASTIE 🥪

You’re welcome 🥒

BUT REMEMBER… not all pickles are made the same. If you really want the probiotic effect, you need to look out for the labels that say “Fermented”. These will also be the ones without vinegar ❌

Check the refrigerated section at your local supermarket or there are plenty of amazing local brands online to order from.

My pickle girlies get it 😉

🍽️ Eat to Beat Depression Without Compromising on FLAVOUR

Eating healthier doesn’t have to be BLAND or BORING!

Especially when it comes to eating for your mental health because we’re not obsessing over calories or making drastic changes to your routine (WOO) 🎉

Instead, making doable changes to your daily routine, adding in more of the good stuff but in a way that still makes your meals taste good, and learning to experiment with spices, herbs, and fresh ingredients that can boost not just the taste of your meals, but also your mood is the GOAL

🌿✨ It’s all about finding a balance and incorporating foods that support mental health while keeping the joy of food alive

YES, you CAN feel good without sacrificing flavour! 💚 Ready to learn how? Contact me to discover easy, delicious ways to support your mental health with food.

Is Medication the Only Answer to Anxiety & Depression? 💊

In our society, the first line of help for anxiety and depression is often medication, followed by therapy, and then… nothing. 🤔

While I totally support medication and know it can be crucial in many cases, it’s concerning that many doctors aren’t educated on the abundance of nutritional and lifestyle treatments that could really help… before resorting to medication.

Imagine if mental healthcare prioritised healing from within - balancing the mind and body through diet and daily habits, instead of immediately resorting to medications that can disrupt hormonal health, have long-term consequences like bone density issues in women, impact libido, and lead to weight gain or emotional numbness.

While medication absolutely has its place, it’s important to know that there is more support out there for long-term anxiety and depression care 🌿✨

So, if you’re interested in natural ways to support your mood and calm your mind, contact me to learn how nutrition can make a HUGE difference!
