Nature leaves clues. My Nana told me when I first got married that to be healthy we must eat the rainbow each day. Red, yellow, green, purple and white.

Today, a smoothie of spinach, green apple, kiwi and ginger.

Dinner was purple cabbage in broth, orange sweet potato mash and liver with bacon, onion and gravy. Oh and a piece of 80% dark chocolate for desert. Yum!

We need a healthy fat intake for our brain and hormone health among other things. Eating fat doesn’t affect the amount of cholesterol your body makes as much as once thought. Blaming fat for what carbs did!

Following a two-day, DC-based workshop entitled “Saturated Fats: A Food or Nutrient Approach?” a group of leading nutrition scientists, mainly from the U.S., released a consensus statement detailing their findings on the latest research regarding the intake of saturated-fats and heart disease.

Don’t be fooled by the washed and ready to eat bagged produce, it’s much higher in bacteria than the unwashed.

BUT! I’m more concerned at his comment that you don’t need to wash store bought produce like grapes, tomatoes and apples. It’s not just about bacteria, we cope with them a lot better than we do the chemical sprays on their skins.

If you can’t buy organic definitely wash you’re fruit and veg in a mild vinegar solution on warm water to remove as much as possible of both bacteria and chemical sprays. YUK!

Annual skin check done and dusted. Nothing to see here.

So genetically I would expect to be lining up for zapping, freezing, excising etc based on the history of my parents, siblings and adult kids. But nothing!

Refreshing that my doctor who is a skin cancer specialist agrees with my strategy. In fact she said that at approaching 60 my skin is in better order than hers at approaching 50.

Here are my tips:
I never ever use chemical sunscreen. Shirts, hats and shade for me if I feel my skin burning.
20 minutes sun exposure 3 times per week is protective.
Eat a diet rich in antioxidants, colourful vegetables and fruit, purple veg, red capsicum, broccoli, kale etc
30mg melatonin supplement at night
2000mg Vit C daily
Rosehip oil to moisturise05% retinol cream to moisturise - I add powdered melatonin to this, it’s a master antioxidant
H**p Collagen powder in smoothies
Gelatine and bone broth for natural collagen
Astaxanthin, resveritrol and sulphurofane
Intermittent fasting

There are heaps of other anti-ageing supplements you could add, hit me up for some more suggestions.

Can smoothes still play a role in a Ketogenic diet? You bet they can, we still need the polyphenols in colourful fruits and veggies for their anti oxidant properties and also the fibres for our gut health. Plus they can be a great way to make sure we meet our protein targets.

We just need to find low carb options, this one uses both plant and animal protein sources and a great prebiotic fibre. Gluten and dairy free.

The two areas of greatest struggle when balancing a Ketogenic diet protocol is sufficiently restricting carbohydrates and meeting protein targets. Quite often t

Hec yeah! I caught up with clients today who I have been speaking with around regaining health and losing weight through a ketogenic diet and eliminating grains and processed foods.

8 months after our first conversation he has lost 48kg and she has lost 14kg- yep that’s an entire person! They have corrected high cholesterol, halved their statin doses and diabetes meds and are on a roll to lose another 50kg between them.

I love how corrected eating fixes so many health issues.

To say I’m thrilled for them is an understatement.

What could go wrong? 🤦🏼‍♀️

A jab which is more powerful than statins has been given the go-ahead by the NHS, in a bid to prevent 30,000 deaths from heart attacks and strokes.

We choose not to use a microwave and we also don’t store or cook in plastic. In fact we are working towards being a plastic free home.

These silicone food pouches are great space savers as they store flat when empty and take up less room in the freezer than plastic tubs. Thawing is done easily in a warm water bath and you can even reheat a meal by putting the pouch into a saucepan of boiling water to save washing up. There is no leeching of chemicals into food and they last longer than plastic containers which can become brittle and have completely replaced the need for clipseal baggies in our home.

Better for us and better for the environment.

You can get an 8 pack for just $29 online from Kogan.

This has been my practise for decades, as it was for my grandmother. My grandparents built a house with my parents with a downstairs granny flat, way before it was trendy. We loved climbing in bed for a cuddle and a sip of Nana’s lemon and honey.

So Big Pharma make fish oil into a drug for heart health and want you to pay $300+ per month for it? Righteo!!!!!!!

I’ll just sick to eating fish and taking my fish oil supplement, oh but they don’t work because they weren’t prescribed by a doctor and supplied by a pharmaceutical company.

Kind of wonder what you do to fish oil to be able to take out a patent on it, no thanks.

TRENTON, N.J. (AP) — U.S. regulators on Friday approved expanded use of a fish oil-based drug for preventing serious heart complications in high-risk patients already taking cholesterol-lowering...

Finally the truth is starting to be reported around the world. If you or a family member are diabetic and still being told you need carbs to balance your sugar levels, then piling insulin on to regulate the sugar you are being fed junk science.

LOS ANGELES — Adherence to a ketogenic eating plan, with proper medical support, could yield diabetes remission and sustained cardiometabolic improvements in a person with type 2 diabetes, according to a speaker at the World Congress of Insulin Resistance, Diabetes and Cardiovascular Disease.....

What's the only thing better than a keto friendly lasagne for dinner? Same again the next day. Its even more delicious the second time round, and the bonus is I didn't have to cook tonight.

For most people, staying under 50g of carbs for the day is going to keep you in a ketogienic range, so at 10g per serving this recipe is a winner.

Some foods do more than fill your belly, they fill your heart, satisfy your tastebuds and feed the soul. Lasgane is right up there with the best of these foods,

It’s hard to imagine lasagne without that delicious béchamel finishing sauce. And while I’ve not used it in every layer, my low carb dairy free cauliflower cream is a great substitute.

Ingredients 1/4 cauliflower steamed.
2tbs ghee or butter if you can tolerate a tiny bit of dairy.
2 heaping tbs of nutritional yeast
1/4 tsp Himalayan salt.

Melt the ghee, pop in the rest of the ingredients and blend. Done.

Makes enough to top 2 serves of low carb gluten free lasagne.

3g carbohydrate
7g protein
14g fat

Perfect ratios for a ketogenic diet.

The dairy alternative thickened with flour would be around 15g of carbs per serving.

Posting on the website soon.
