Being conscious of the need to make healthy eating affordable. Being conscious of the need to share my learning; my health journey. Like an increasing number of people today I have an autoimmune disease, Hashimotos. In short, this me
ans that my body wasn’t happy with what I was eating and so it started to attach my thyroid. I have been told that there was nothing I could do except wait and watch and live with it. Autoimmune diseases are incurable, but I have found that I have been able to managed it by eliminating many processed foods, eating from scratch and introducing some traditional fermented foods. But who has time or money to eat from scratch - right? I committed to 10 weeks of nothing processed, gluten free, and everything from scratch, and the change was dramatic. Enter my Thermomix. If I was going to do this forever, I needed a way to make preparation easier, and I wanted interesting meals, snacks, breakfast, lunches for my family. In 2016, I purchased by Thermomix and started as a Consultant. I have continued to research food for health complete a Diploma of Nutrition and a Microbiome Course at the Nutrition Academy. Being able to function properly again is fantastic. To be able to help others through what I have learnt and what I am continuing to learn is the bonus, it’s my vision. I am a Chartered Accountant with a passion for improving health through lifestyle change in particular food as medicine. I am a Thermomix Consultant. I am a canary, providing an early warning. I have a passion to be a changemaker. I am making the change in my family. Follow me here on my journey to better health and along the way I will share my tips on easy, healthy cooking and how we can all afford to make the change. Will you come along on this journey with me? I am “The Conscientious Cook”.
