There is a running theme through the women I have been speaking to lately...clients, friends, family. All experiencing feelings of overwhelm, exhausted, anxious, stressed, overstimulated, rundown.
They are all wanting peace, quiet, things to slow down, sleep, the mind to be calm, solitude, connection.
Autumn is the time where things naturally slow down, the days become shorter, the air cooler, a sense of change. Our natural rhythms are wanting to do the same, however in this crazy, chaotic, busy world we are in, it is hard to stay in harmony with this. We push, keep going, ignore...and our health - physical, mental and spiritual, all suffer.
I have been working on ways to better support myself, and ways to help you - my clients, friends and family find ways to help soften the intensity of the world around us, to bring you back to yourself.
I will be sharing more with you over the coming weeks to help you do this in varying forms...recipes, cooking, workshops, immune support and more.
I'm especially excited to be sharing a special weekend retreat, cohosted with the amazing kat, from , at - created to support women, just like you.

If your energy feels unpredictable, your moods are all over the place, or you just don’t quite feel like yourself anymore… your hormones may be asking for support.

This is your opportunity to gently uncover what’s happening beneath the surface, and learn how to bring your body back into balance in a way that feels simple, nourishing, and sustainable… without restrictive diets, overwhelm, or guesswork.
Inside this masterclass, you’ll learn:

* The most common hormonal imbalances I see in clinic - and how to recognise the signs in your own body
*The myths that keep women feeling stuck, dismissed, and disconnected
*The true foundations of hormonal health: blood sugar, sleep, stress, gut health, movement, and environment
* How to support your hormones naturally with food, nutrients, and lifestyle
* How to track your cycle and start working with your body - not against it
✨ Walk away with practical tools you can start using straight away

What a beautiful morning spent at the International Women’s Day Brunch celebrating this year’s theme, and women’s wellness - something very close to my heart.
There is something incredibly inspiring about being in a room full of women who are celebrating one another, lifting each other up, and sharing their stories. A special thank you to guest speaker for your powerful message about the importance of blood donation. It’s something I haven’t done yet, but after hearing your moving story, I will definitely be doing so.
And let’s be honest… dressing up was a bonus too. It was so nice to step out of my usual mum uniform and put on something a little special for a change 😂

Vibrant Chicken Pesto Salad
This isn’t your average salad. Packed with flavour, colour, and crunch, this salad is a go-to when you want something nourishing and satisfying, without spending hours in the kitchen.
Tender chicken brings the protein punch, while the pesto delivers healthy fats that keep your brain firing and your hormones happy. Tossed with fresh greens, good-quality carbs and vibrant veggies, it’s the kind of meal that leaves you full, focused and fuelled for the rest of the day - no 3pm crash in sight.
Why it works:
✔️ Protein-rich to support lean muscle and stable energy
✔️ Healthy fats for hormone balance and satiety
✔️ Greens + fibre to keep digestion humming
✔️ Balanced to help avoid blood sugar dips and cravings
In a nutshell:
This salad isn’t just nourishing, it’s strategically balanced for women needing energy that lasts, better focus, and no 3pm slump. You’ve got protein, slow-release carbs, hormone-friendly fats, and fibre-rich veg all in one bowl.
Win Win!

My client came in to see me for the first time a few weeks ago. She was exhausted, felt dizzy when she woke up in the mornings, anxious and flat.
We talked about her health, her lifestyle and then had a look at her diet. She thought she was eating too much during the day, but it turned out she wasn't actually enough!
I gave her a plan of action to follow until I next saw her, including guidance on portion sizes, meal timing and what to include with her meals, with some recipe suggestions to get her on track.
She excitedly came in to see me this morning, and couldn't wait to share how good she was feeling - she had more energy than she could remember, no longer felt dizzy when she woke in the morning and was much less anxious. She was amazed she got these results from simple dietary adjustments!
Sometimes it's really easy to get caught up in the noise of advice on the internet and media, online groups, the latest supplements, shakes, the list goes on, all promising energy and amazing results, when sometimes, a lot of the time, it just takes someone to sit down with you, look at how and when you eat - simple, sustainable advice, to get you feeling better again.
Want to ask me some questions about your diet? Send me a DM or book a free call via my website.

A little gift for you ❤️
As a busy mum and business owner, I understand that sometimes it can be really hard to find the time to cook nourishing meals for yourself. Especially when you are feeling tired, overwhelmed and time poor.
I have created a little collection of recipes to make your life a bit easier! Join my mailing list and you will receive my Nourished Mumma recipe collection, and also exclusive offers, recipes, nutrition tips and more, straight to your inbox!
Be the first to know and let us send you an email when Emily Gardem Nutrition posts news and promotions. Your email address will not be used for any other purpose, and you can unsubscribe at any time.
I am a degree qualified Clinical Nutritionist (Endeavour College of Natural Health) and trained Chef with over 20 years experience in the kitchen. I love food, and i love nutrition and what better way then to combine the two together!
I learnt the hard way several years ago what extreme stress can do to the body. After working hard as a chef for 15 years, I found myself to be burnt out, highly stressed and constantly exhausted - i didn't recognise myself in the mirror any more. I wasn't well, miserable and had lost direction in my life. After falling pregnant with my daughter i had the wake-up call or “sliding doors” moment I needed - this was not the way I wanted to live anymore.
I realised that my passion lay with natural health, and decided to focus solely on my degree.Today, i am a different person, and am so passionate about helping others be the best versions of themselves that they can, that they can be happy, healthy and stress free!
What i will do:
Show you that eating well does not mean bland, boring, or expensive
Encourage positive relationships between food and body image
Tailor nutrition and treatment plans specific to your individual needs - there is no one size fits all approach
Explain in detail the benefits of good nutrition, and why they are specially important to you
What i won't do:
Use the word “diet” ( its all about dietary modifications)
Ban chocolate or naughty foods completely from your diet (we all need balance in our lives, and food is to be enjoyed! - its all about moderation!)
Set unrealistic goals
I am available for consultations, and this page offers things all related to nutrition, health and wellbeing, from information regarding health conditions, to easy, delicious recipes, and healthy eating suggestions.
