Thriving Minds Nutrition + Counselling

05/01/2026

Starting a new year brings reflection for the past year, and hope for the year ahead, it offers an opportunity to take into the next year things we value and leave behind things we don’t. I definitely haven’t got life all figured out 😅 but the following rings true both through longevity studies and my own experience - good relationships are key to good health and wellness, more than any food, exercise regime, or health trend. This year surround yourself with wholesome relationships, those that encourage you to be better humans, those that love you and you love, and those that bring you joy. Make your first health resolution for 2026 one where you invest in healthy relationships.

Deliciousness packed with veggies 🙌🙌

I've now come to see all food, both organic and conventional, as good food. I appreciate the fact that I can eat good food and that I have an abundance of choices. I see food with gratitude.

Not that I give a free pass to the misleading "I'm better than thou" organic marketing. It's OK to sell food, it's not OK to mislead. What is your take on this?

I need this in my life

These days, Stan Lee and Marvel are almost unimaginably successful, raking in hundreds of millions of dollars per movie.
