Hopefully you already know that the "health star" rating is bought and paid for and not based on actual nutrition... If you don't, watch this!

Is there anything better than a home made curry?! This is "Thai Peanut Chicken" which is just so delish. Recently discovered this recipe and cannot get enough!
It's a Thermomix recipe but you have to Uncheck the Australia filter to find it. It's amazing. Give it a go!

It's been an ongoing debate within the Naturopathic Professional community in Australia, with a division between those who believe we should have mandatory registration with the government and those who don't. (For the record, I don't believe we should have it, because the government will also then gain control over what we are and are not allowed to do and say!)
There are many arguments for and against, but one of the main ones is the question of Title Protection.
So just like the average person wouldn't suddenly start calling themselves a Doctor, title protection would mean that the average person couldn't suddenly start claiming the title of Naturopath, or Nutritionist or Herbalist, without having undertaken the approved study and obtained the relevant qualifications in Australia, in order to do so.
At the moment, the average person can use that title, charge whatever they like, see clients and likely do more harm than good, but there's not a lot that can be done to stop this, unless true medical harm is proven.
We are seeing a rise in people claiming titles they haven't earned, in order to take money from people who are often in dire need of real help..
If you See courses online claiming you can become a Naturopath for $27....well you can't.
You can do that course, but in Australia you would not qualify for Public Liability Insurance, and you would not be able to join a Professional Association - I'm a proud member of ATMS. We are required to continue our education annually and prove it, hold Advanced First Aid, and Insurance. In exchange we have access to practitioner only products, liquid Herbs, technical support, ongoing education with the latest research and advances in understanding.
So a simple way for you to find out if the practitioner you are considering trusting with your health concerns, is to ask to see their Association membership, and insurance certificate.
Or their qualifications. I hold an Advanced Diploma of Naturopathy which was an accepted qualification in Australia when I finished in 2017.
Soon after, the government decreed that a Bachelor degree is the minimum standard qualification for a Naturopath and a Nutritionist, but previously approved qualifications are still accepted. I went on to do a Bachelor of Complementary Medicine because at the time it was the only way to get any education in Homeopathy. That course was a walk in the park, compared to the intensity of my Adv. Dip training!!
Anyway, all this to say, just be mindful when looking at practitioners and what they claim to be. If they can't prove it, and you still trust them with your health journey and things don't work out....

The article is behind a pay wall so I can't read it (being the Daily Mail I don't really want to anyway!) but the headline is relevant.
The article will be referring to endocrine disruptors - these are chemicals frequently used in fragrances, deodorants, personal care products, sunscreens and household products like washing powders that are heavily perfumed, plastics and many other products commonly used every day.
They can mimic natural hormones and sometimes your body can't tell the difference so allows the synthetic substances to block natural hormone use in the body. This action disrupts normal hormonal processes, which over time can lead to a myriad of issues such as reproductive health disorders, metabolic disorders, developmental issues and even some cancer's.
Long known in Naturopathic medicine, and Western medicine really but only now are they really starting to acknowledge it.
What can you do?
Switch to alternatives that contain natural fragrances, that don't contain PFAs, BPA, Parabens and more. Do some research into the products you use frequently.
These can include shampoo, body wash, soap, cosmetics, moisturisers, perfumes, deodorants, household cleaning products, household fragrance sprays, diffusers or scented candles.... The list is long. But you can choose alternatives. Thankfully we live in a time where this has been a known issue for many years and plenty of better options exist.

Not sure where to start??

I'll be at the Psychic Fair at the Kingaroy RSL this Sunday, with my gems and jewels - come along and say hello!

We are excited to announce that Caroline OH Jewellery will be joining us for the Kingaroy Psychic Expo!

🔮 Kingaroy Psychic Expo
📍 Kingaroy RSL
🗓️ 15th February
✨ 10am to 3pm
🪙 $5 entry fee at the door

As a life long lover of crystals and gems, I pride myself on my extensive collection of high quality, beautiful and often unique or even rare cabochons from all over the world, with which to create one of a kind and beautiful, high vibing gemstone jewellery.
In 2014 I began making bracelets and necklaces with exclusively gemstone beads, and after progressing through basic macrame and wire wrapping, I finally found my true love in metalsmithing. In 2020 I began working primarily in Silver, and in 2023 I added copper Electroforming to my repertoire. I do a lot of custom work as well, as my customer base that has grown through my social media pages, tend to be interested in less common stone choices, and love to have their dream pieces made for them. You can check out my instagram page to see a portfolio of my previous work.

I am always happy to create custom pieces, so please do get in touch. My gemstone collection is well over 1000, and approximately 100 varieties of stone to choose from!

Everyone is away at the moment, so I am enjoying cooking the food I would eat if it was totally up to me. Tonight is Lentil Dahl, super simple, but so nutritious, hearty, tasty.
Lentils, Coconut Cream, Spices, Onions and Garlic, Tomatoes and I like to throw in a handful of spinach to wilt at the end. So good!

Oh Mango...Besides being one of the most exotic and beautiful taste sensations on the planet, Mangos are actually packed with nutrients!
One cup of fresh mango can provide you with 2.5g of fibre, over 65% of the recommended daily requirement for vitamin C, all of the various vitamins, as well as Magnesium and Potassium!
They are also obviously quite high in fructose sugars, but if it's a choice between a mango and a 44g bar of chocolate...,. The health benefits of choosing the mango, far outweigh the sugar intake (unless you are specifically avoiding sugar for specific reasons such as Diabetes or weight loss!)

Helpful tip of the day!!
Seriously though, getting the right sleep, enough sleep, getting TO sleep can be a challenge at times, and for some, all the time. There are so many factors that can affect sleep, and so many things to tweak and try to get those Zzzzzzs... If good sleep eludes you, get in touch. We need to talk

FIGS!!! A natural source of copper and vitamin B6, as well as traces of other minerals like Magnesium and Potassium, and also vitamin K. One small fig may contain up to 1g of fibre too... All the good stuff!
We have several fig trees but none of them did a lot last year, so imagine my surprise just now when I noticed the fruit had got quite big but was still yellow... We assumed brown figs but they're not! Juicy and sweet, absolutely delicious.

My Mum is Gluten Free, so for her birthday today I made her the "Classic Polish (GF) Tort", a Thermomix recipe. It doesn't look very elegant, but it tasted lovely. So if you're GF, it's a recipe well worth trying out!

Love Prunes! This is great news!

Somehow it took me 12 years to watch Dallas Buyers Club. What a powerful story. People have been sounding the alarm about the ways of Big Pharma for decades - if there's one thing this story does, is remind you that there is always a choice, and often other approaches to try for your health 💚
Have you seen it? What did you think?
