Our bodies are electric ⚡️
We are constantly tuning into the natural rhythms of the Earth, more than we often realise.

The Earth’s natural EMFs (electromagnetic fields) act like gentle instructions for the body. They help regulate sleep, support immunity, balance brain function and guide how our cells communicate.
But today, we are surrounded by artificial EMFs from WiFi, Bluetooth, 5G and smart devices. Whether at home, at work or in our pockets, these invisible signals can disrupt our natural flow.

What is EMF:
EMF stands for electromagnetic field. These are invisible waves of energy from both natural sources like the Earth and sun, and man-made technology.
Artificial EMFs come from all the devices we use everyday:

• WiFi routers
• Smartphones
• Smart TVs
• Smart baby monitors
• Smart meters
• Bluetooth devices like headphones and speakers
• Smart home assistants like Google Home, Alexa, Siri
• Microwave ovens
• Cordless phones and base stations
• Laptops and tablets
• Smart appliances like fridges and washing machines

These are a form of non-ionising radiation. They are lower than X-rays but still carry energy that can affect the body over time, especially with constant exposure.

Research shows EMFs may:
• Disrupt melatonin which affects sleep and hormone balance
• Increase oxidative stress which can lead to inflammation and faster ageing
• Impact memory, mood and brain function
• Interfere with rhythms in the heart, gut and brain
• Increase risks of ADHD, anxiety, poor sleep and learning difficulties in children

You cannot see them, but your body can feel them.

Instead of throwing out our devices, here are some simple ways to reduce exposure:

• Unplug when not in use. Turn off WiFi at night.
• Keep a healthy distance. Avoid sleeping with your phone next to your bed or under your pillow. Keep baby monitors away from your child.
• Limit Bluetooth and wireless use. Choose wired headphones. Turn off features when not in use.
• Ground in nature. Walk barefoot on grass, sand or soil. Swim in the ocean. This helps your body discharge built-up static and stay balanced.

Your body knows what to do. Sometimes it just needs the right signals 🌎🌳⚡️

About 10 years ago, before I started my nutrition course, I was struggling with many health concerns. I experienced burnout, digestive issues, and severe period pain. Throughout the years of studying and learning more about nutrition and the power of lifestyle changes, I'm proud to say that many of these symptoms have completely gone away. This was achieved through dietary changes, lifestyle adjustments, supplementation, and various therapies/support when needed.

However, recently, in the last few months, I've noticed a few health symptoms creeping back, particularly related to the skin health around my scalp. Initially, I didn't pay much attention to these symptoms because they didn’t seem like a big deal. I thought I would just leave it and see how it goes. But as the months passed, the skin condition worsened, almost resembling psoriasis. Now that it has covered a significant portion of my head, I had no choice but to address it seriously.

I had to dive deep into my dietary habits, make changes based on the current symptoms, be more consistent with taking my supplements, and do more blood testing to uncover the root causes. Fortunately, I work with practitioners who have supported me with these health concerns.

Dealing with these health issues has been challenging, but I know that these symptoms are my body's way of communicating with me. It’s a reminder to never dismiss any symptoms or discomfort that arise. I took this as an opportunity to dive deeper into my overall health and fully optimise it once again. After all, without our health, what truly matters?

For any of you going through health concerns, know that you are not alone. Seek support and remember that there are steps you can take to improve your health ❤️

I am running a "Boost Your Immune Health" masterclass next Monday, and this couldn't have come at a better time. If you have been struggling with your immune health, experience recurring colds or flus, or have a family member who does, this masterclass is the perfect place to start.

Hello👋 It has been a little while since I shared a bit about myself on this online space, so I thought it is time for a little re-introduction. A warm hug to the old friends who have been on this journey with me for the past years and a big, warm welcome to the new friends who have recently joined. So grateful to have you all!

My name is Phei Yee, but you can call me Phei (pronounced ‘Pay’). I am a holistic nutritionist and a food lover. My life’s joy revolves around guiding others in rediscovering the joy and ease of eating well. My passion lies in providing support in areas such as digestive discomfort, women’s health, metabolic health, and emotional wellness.

Here are a few things that you might not know about me:

📚I spent 4.5 years in banking before deciding to pursue my nutrition degree. My love for food and my own health challenges led me down this road.

👩🏻‍💻I’ve played a role as a clinical nutritionist and patient advocate in a beautiful integrative clinic (the combination of conventional + complementary health care approach) in the Eastern suburb of Sydney for the past 4 years, also continuing to see patients virtually via Yap Nutrition.

🌴I thrive in change and find inspiration in new places, especially in nature. Living in a campervan with my partner for the past two and a half years, we’ve traveled up and down the east coast of Australia and look forward to discovering more of our beautiful country. Being in nature is when I feel most free and grounded.

🐶In between our travels, we find solace in house-sitting across Sydney, caring for adorable cats and dogs, while enjoying the comfort of being close to family and friends.

🌜For those interested in astrology, I have a sun in Pisces, moon in Libra, and rising in Sagittarius. I am also a Projector with a 6/2 profile and emotional authority in Human Design and have been delving into my human design in the past few years, experimenting with living in more alignment with it to find ease in all areas of my life.

Feel free to share one thing that I might not know about you and one thing you look forward to reconnect with when it comes to your health this year?

An activated sympathetic nervous system, often referred to as the “fight or flight” response, can manifest in several ways, both physiologically and behaviorally. When this branch of the autonomic nervous system is activated, the body prepares to respond to a perceived threat or stressor.

It’s important to note that the sympathetic nervous system’s activation is a normal response to stress or perceived threats, but chronic or excessive activation can lead to health issues. It’s crucial to manage stress and engage in relaxation techniques to counterbalance the effects of an overactive sympathetic nervous system for overall wellbeing.

My 1:1 nutrition support is open to take on new patients in November. Book in a discovery session to find out more. ✨

I was looking into my recipe folders and collection today and found this cute little gem captured by Ben in our old kitchen a few years back, and I am not sure if I have ever shared it before!

This short clip reminded me of how much I love being in the kitchen and enjoy using my hands to create something beautiful and delicious. It is what is fulfilling my soul. Sometimes when life happens, you lose track of the little things that make you feel joy and love, and this clip serves as a beautiful reminder of how joyful being in the kitchen is for me.

In the last two to three weeks, that urge to create has slowly crept back into my field. Being in the kitchen, documenting my cooking, writing recipes and capturing some beautiful creations I made. I am collecting some of my favourite recipes and creating some new ones, and I hope to share that with you very soon. The recipes will be collated into an eBook in which I will share some nutrition snippets along the way. It will be a work deeply close to my heart and a labour of love I look forward to sharing with you all. If there is any particular recipe that you would like me to include, don’t hesitate to let me know ❤️

My relationship with change has significantly evolved in the last year since living a more nomadic lifestyle. In my case, the constant change of environment has served as a great catalyst to start developing habits that I want to cultivate and/or let go of that no longer serve me. For example, for the last 2-3 weeks, I have built a new routine of eating out/ had takeaway more than usual due to moving to a new place with many restaurants (aka convenience) and have not been intentional when it comes to preparing my meals (haven't put aside time to do food grocery). Consequently, I have spent more money having takeaways, encountered some gut issues from the takeaway foods, and even gained some weight in the short 2-3 weeks. The intention for the next month is to put some energy into preparing my food again, plan a time in the week to do grocery shopping, and spend a bit of time roughly planning out what I can prep and cook for the week. Moving into this new home with a slightly bigger kitchen and grocery shops so close to the house will support rebuilding this cooking habit more sustainably. What do you usually do when introducing a new habit or breaking an old one that no longer serves you?
• Is there a habit that you would like to develop or change? Why do you want to change?
• What is the habit that will allow you to change in this way?
• How exactly are you going to honour this new habit?
• When and where are you going to build this habit?
• Who is going to keep you accountable?

As I move through my few years as a nutritionist supporting patients in the clinic in building their relationship with food, I have learnt a few things. First, even with my relationship with food throughout the last years, I notice shifts in how I eat with the change of emotions and feelings I experience at the time. For example, I have a deep craving for chips and crispy crunch when I feel stressed or overwhelmed, or just the thought of eating whenever I feel bored.

Emotions and feelings can be powerful triggers for food choices. Food becomes connected to various emotions and social integrations from a young age. Whether sad, happy, bored, celebrating, lonely, angry etc., food is often used to support or cope with these emotions and circumstances.

This is not to say that we should not have an emotional connection to food, and let's be honest, it is nice to have a celebratory meal, and sometimes it's just nice to eat something tasty, irrespective of how healthy it is.

Mindfulness can play a significant role in changing how we respond to feelings. Are you making a conscious choice to behave that way, or are you acting or driven by an emotion or a circumstance/habit because of a particular environment you find yourself in? Some of the questions to bring some awareness to this area:

✨Do you use food to enhance pleasure? Or to avoid pain, such as in the form of loneliness or anger. Do you end up feeling more dissatisfied?
✨Does eating particular food make you feel more anxious, guilty, or ashamed? Do you judge yourself for eating this food?
✨Do you turn to food in an attempt to fulfil much deeper cravings simply because you are dissatisfied with the other areas in your life?
✨If you began to live more in accordance with your highest values, how would that impact your relationship with food?
✨What is your ideal emotional relationship with food?

Being aware of the different sources of stress is a great way for us to start shifting from a space of fight and flight into a space of rest and digest.

Are you feeling fatigued most of the time?
Are you having trouble falling asleep and staying asleep?
Do you have no appetite when it comes to meal times?
Do you usually feel bloated after meals?
Do you constantly get sick despite how well you look after yourself?
Are you feeling anxious and depressed?
Do you need more motivation to do things you have always wanted to do?

The 6 Types of Stress

• Physical stress: injury, either working out too much or too little
• Nutritional stress: deficient in specific nutrients in our body for our organs and cells to function at their optimal or too much of certain nutrients causing pressure to the body
• Immune stress: food sensitivities, inflammation, co-infections, bacterial infections, yeast overgrowth etc
• Magnetic stress: how many hours are we spending on our phone, in front of the computer, laptop, television, and with electronics around us when we sleep
• Emotional and psychological stress: relationship conflicts, new or increasing work responsibilities, financial strain, loss of loved one, feeling under pressure, exposure to one or more traumatic incidents etc
• Spiritual stress: where are we feeling disconnected

Being aware gives us space to pause and reflect, and if we choose to, to regulate and restore our nervous system to bring it back into a state of balance where we can truly connect and expand.
