5 minutes less than Andy Warhol’s 15 minutes of fame. Nevertheless, excited to present at the 2025 Australian Dental Congress on Saturday. Lots of pearly whites.

I am a great fan of This Naked Mind and Annie Grace, the founder.

Many patients book in to see me for weight loss. The answer is simple... eat/drink less (insert word here) chocolate, alcohol, KFC........

However, weight loss IS NOT SIMPLE there are a whole lot of reasons and contributing factors .. thyroid, insulin resistance, hormones.... yadayadayada... Nevertheless, 'comfort' eating is a big factor for many people, particularly women. I love this post from Annie Grace below about what drives emotional eating. Please do check out her work.

"Nourishment isn’t just about food. Or sleep. Or green smoothies.

It’s about what we’re truly hungry for.

And sometimes, that hunger isn’t obvious.

Sometimes it shows up as a craving—for sugar, alcohol, attention, noise, control, chaos.

Sometimes it shows up as exhaustion. Or anxiety. Or snapping at the people we love.

And sometimes… it’s just a dull ache.

That feeling of something’s missing, even when life looks fine on paper.

Sound familiar?

Here’s what I’ve found to be true:
We all have hungers we’re not even aware of.

Emotional hunger.
Spiritual hunger.
The need to be seen. Heard. Loved. Understood.

But because we don’t always recognize those needs—or because we’ve been taught to ignore them—we reach for
what’s easy.

We drink.
We scroll.
We shop.
We binge.
We run ourselves ragged.

It’s not because we’re weak.
It’s because we’re trying to
fill a hole without knowing what it’s shaped like.

If this tracks here’s your invitation to try this instead:
Take a moment.
Get still.
And ask yourself this -
What am I truly hungry for right now?

Is it connection?
Peace?
Creativity?
Rest?
Purpose?
Permission to be fully, unapologetically you?

You don’t need to fix it all today.
But you
can
start by noticing.

One of the most beautiful things about becoming aware of our deeper hunger is this:
Once we see it, we can nourish it
intentionally
—not by numbing it with quick fixes, but by feeding it what it actually needs.

Let yourself be curious.
Compassionate.
And just a little more open to what your soul might be asking for."

Do you react to certain foods?
The rise in food allergies and sensitivities over the past few decades has been nothing short of dramatic. But thanks to new discoveries about the microbiome (our internal microbial metropolis), we’re getting closer to understanding why this is happening—and more importantly, what we can do about it.

Dr. Fabian explains this beautifully in this video—clear, smart, and surprisingly engaging for a topic that could have been all petri dishes and Latin.

If you're not a science nerd, no problem. Let the tricky terms wash over you and just tune into the key takeaways—your gut will thank you.

Adverse food reactions – including food allergies, food sensitivities, and food intolerances – are among the most prevalent gastrointestinal conditions encou...

Long-term stress doesn’t just make us feel awful — it can change how our immune system works, right down to the cellular level.

New research indicates that chronic daily stress can alter our immunity in ways that facilitate the growth of cancer cells. As someone who's worked with many people going through a cancer diagnosis, this doesn't surprise me. Patients often tell me — “I know it was the stress that triggered this.” Divorce. Bankruptcy. Burnout.

There’s another layer, too: cortisol resistance. After prolonged stress, our stress hormone, cortisol, becomes less effective. The body becomes stuck in a cycle of inflammation and impaired immune function. But there are ways to help.

Breathing retraining — like the Buteyko method I teach — helps calm the nervous system by toning the vagus nerve. I also use adaptogenic herbs like Withania (ashwagandha), rhodiola, and licorice. These tools work beautifully to support the body's return to balance.

Here’s a great summary of the research from Dr. F. Perry Wilson:
👉

Even everyday stress, the kind that many people experience, impairs the cancer-fighting immune system.

🥬 This Thai Salad Recipe with green mango and mint is a refreshing dish perfect for any occasion. It was inspired by the Australian food God 🙌🏼 , Neil Perry , though after years of tweaking, I’ve adapted it beyond recognition.

𝘔𝘺 𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘵 𝘢𝘱𝘰𝘭𝘰𝘨𝘪𝘦𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘔𝘳. 𝘗𝘦𝘳𝘳𝘺, 𝘐 𝘩𝘰𝘱𝘦 𝘩𝘦 𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘨𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘴 𝘮𝘺 𝘮𝘦𝘥𝘥𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨. Rest assured—it’s still the business.

Whether you’re hosting guests or just treating yourself, this refreshing Thai salad recipe is guaranteed to be a crowd-pleaser.

𝘼 𝘽𝙞𝙩 𝙤𝙛 𝙖 𝘽𝙖𝙘𝙠𝙨𝙩𝙤𝙧𝙮

I first made this Thai Salad recipe back in 2008 and still have the original newspaper clipping lovingly stored in my ring binder. (Yes, I was that person—assiduously collecting recipes from Good Weekend in the Herald.) 📰

Eating at one of Neil Perry’s restaurants might be the stuff of dreams, but his recipes are refreshingly achievable—not too fiddly, and they always work out beautifully.

Neil’s original recipe used green pawpaw, but I prefer the tang of green mango. The beansprouts are a virtuous addition that somehow manage not to bore you senseless. The coconut? 🥥 Only shredded or flaked will do—trust me on this.

And while I’m a naturopath and know peanuts🥜 can be divisive, I think they work beautifully here (though cashews are a fine substitute).

𝐁𝐨𝐧 𝐀𝐩𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐭! 🍴
