🧬 So what does your microbiome actually do for your health and body?

Our gut bacteria break down food, produce vitamins, regulate inflammation, and helps us to absorb nutrients. Essentially making our bodies better at extracting nutrients whilst helping us to reduce the risk of disease.
⁠
Basically? It’s working hard behind the scenes to prevent disease whilst also helping you feel vibrant and happy.
⁠
🪴 If we support our gut bacteria, they'll return the favour.

In gearing up for City to Surf on Sunday, I thought a little message about carbs was fitting

🧠 Carbs are our brain and body’s first source of fuel, they’re incredibly important for supporting energy levels and overall vitality.

🎢 Often when someone’s experiencing an energy rollercoaster throughout the day, it’s because their carbs aren’t balanced - either in the amount or the quality they’re getting.

🤾‍♀️For athletes and active individuals, carbs are even more important. They fuel your workouts, games, or activities and help you perform at your best.

If you’re highly active, it’s worth knowing your carb requirements and practising hitting them - you might be surprised how much it improves your performance.

DM me if you're interested in knowing your personal carbohydrate needs and I'll help you work it out ! 😀🍞🍙

Your gut microbiome is an entire ecosystem living inside you, influencing your digestion, mood, energy, skin, and your immunity.

🧠 So the questions is, what is a healthy microbiome? And how can I support my gut bacteria for optimal health?

🌱 A healthy microbiome is diverse - think of it like a forest, needing all different forms of flora and fauna to keep it healthy and functioning well. We support our gut microbiome by feeding our health bacteria through a high fibre, low processed diet, and be introducing beneficial bacteria through fermented foods.

🏃‍♀️ Exercise and stress management has also shown to play a large role in the health and balance of our microbiome.

Just a few grab and go options to hit your protein goals! Hitting your protein targets isn't always easy, so you want to have the options available because when protein is easy to access, you're far more likely to stay consistent.

My view on gut health and it's impact on the body has grown dramatically over the years. I no longer see gut health as just a "digestive issue", I now understand it as a foundational player in the root cause, progression, and prevention of most modern chronic diseases.

▶ Recent research has shown that improving the balance and diversity of the gut microbiome through food, can have a direct impact on inflammation, reducing inflammatory markers in the body and therefore supporting the prevention of disease.

Passionfruit is a serious fibre hack guys. If you’re looking for an easy way to support your gut health — don’t skip it!

The little fruit is loaded with fibre thanks to its crunchy edible seeds -packed with insoluble fibre, and the juicy, gel-like pulp - packed with soluble fibre. Both types of fibre play a role in keeping your digestion moving and your gut bacteria happy. It’s one of the most underrated fibre boosters.

📈 Just one passionfruit can add a 4-5g hit of fibre to your day for just 40-50calories (daily requirments being 30g of fibre or more)

✅ Great for digestion
✅ Helps feed your gut bugs
✅ Easy to add to smoothies, yogurt bowls, or eat as is!

Save this fibre tip + grab a passionfruit or two this week, they're in their best season 🙌

You are more bacteria than you are human? 🧠

The gut microbiome is a fascinating area of health science where we have made some pretty crazy discoveries. With 39 TRILLION microbial cells and only 30 trillion human ones, your bacteria are basically running the show.

At the I ran a 30 minute gut health talk where we dove intro the incredible world of the gut microbiome and it's effects on human health.

Your microbes aren’t just passengers… they’re shaping your health, mood, immunity, and more. I'm going to post more of these videos diving into the fascinating world of the gut microbiome, stay tuned🌿👀

Ordering meat online and in bulk has been a big game changer for food prep in my household.

▶️ Half of the struggle of eating healthy comes from not being properly prepared and not setting yourself up for success. We all have busy lives that can feel chaotic and for a lot of people putting food together and going grocery shopping is just another chore in life that takes up mental real estate and time.

▶️ Being prepared with bulk frozen meat means we always have a base protein option available on weekends and for meal preps.

▶️ Eating kangaroo and venison (deer) isn’t super common in Australia, though these meat options have so many ticks for me in terms of their nutritional value and their benefits in sustainability and ethical meat production.

▶️ Both kangaroo and venison are wild-caught. This means the meat being consumed is from an animal that has lived their life in the wild without the stresses of factory farming and transport. They have not been fed grain or had any use of antibiotics and hormones.

▶️ Environmentally, both animals are considered invasive and destructive to Australian land and are therefore systematically culled. The use of them in replace of beef or other livestock can be considered a more environmentally friendly alternative.

▶️ Nutritionally, these meats are extremely lean, nutrient dense, and are great alternative to meats higher in saturated fat like lamb or beef.

My regular nutrition preach points 📢

1: Changing the narrative from fat loss to muscle gain can have incredible benefits for weight management and long-term health. Pair consistent resistance training with eating at maintenance or a slight surplus for 6 months, and see how much your body responds.

2: Eating 25-30g or more of fibre daily is the go for optimal gut health (gradually increase if you're not eating much). Fibre supports your cardiovascular health by reducing cholesterol, and it helps keep you regular and happy 💩😁

3: If someone comes to me complaining of low energy and binge eating in the afternoon, the majority of the time I can assume they’re skipping breakfast and having a low-fibre, low-carb lunch. It’s a classic picture — and one that can be easily avoided by including a balanced breakfast. Think protein 30g, fibre 8-12g, carbs 30g+.

4: Carbohydrates do not make you fat. Too much food overall makes you fat. Carbs are your body’s and brain’s first source of energy, and they should make up a big part of your diet.

5: No change will happen if you despise healthy habits and wish you didn’t have to do them. You have to find your whys — your personal drivers that pull you toward your practices. Journal and list all the positive things that cooking, eating healthy, and training bring to your life. Remind yourself of these constantly until you rewrite your narrative and begin to enjoy the process.
