One of the first things I do with clients is make sure we get their breakfast sorted because it sets up the whole day.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​There are a number of mistakes I see being made with brekkie, but one of the biggest is falling short on the protein content... which is exactly why I created the Better Breakfast Recipe Collection for my clients!

And sure, you can absolutely take a simple approach and lean on protein powders to balance out classically low protein options - the recipe below is a good example of that and I'm sharing it with you to help you get started!

You see muscle protein synthesis switches on at 30 grams of protein and the body will continue to seek food until this threshold is met - which means if you start your day with this your appetite, energy, hormones and happiness will all feel better for it.

And, if you'd like to get your hands on my hand-picked selection of recipes (there's 46 of them altogether, and a mixture of savoury and sweet) every single one of them has 30g (or more) of protein in them so you don't have to think about anything except make and enjoy!

Just comment the word breakfast and I'll send you the link to check out the whole recipe list - and a sneaky discount code if you decide you want these recipes for yourself.

In the meantime, please enjoy this one on me 👇🏼

If you're looking for a natural, drug-free form of contraception my #1 OG choice is the Symptothermal Method.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​It's one of 5 different fertility awareness based methods (FABM) and, given it uses cervical mucus *and* basal body temperature (BBT) observations, it is - in my opinion - the BEST.

There is a lot of misinformation around about FABMs and this is in part due to there being some methods that are less effective than others, but is mostly from people not really understanding how to apply the concepts properly (i.e. if you're relying on an app to tell you when you're fertile... 👀)

The symptothermal 'double-check' method was found to be 98.2% effective with typical use, and 99.6% effective with perfect use - which, if you're comparing it with the pill - typical use of the OCP offers 90-93% effectiveness, and perfect use is 99.7% effective.

From a contraceptive lens, they are similar enough but the reason I use this FABM method myself (and support many of my clients to do the same) is that the OCP - among many other problematic effects - depletes many vital micronutrients, disrupts the gut microbiome and shuts down ovulation which is how we make a vital hormone called progesterone.

If you're interested in exploring this type of contraception I've got the perfect course to teach you exactly how to do it *properly* and if you'd like me to send you the link just comment CHART down below and my auto-responder will send it to your inbox.

{INDIVIDUAL FLOURLESS CHOCOLATE PUDDING RECIPE} ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Can you really have your cake and eat it too...?

Yes, actually - yes you can!

I'm working on a dessert collection of delicious treats that suit those of us who are health conscious and I wanted to share with you one that brings me *so* much joy.

This {Individual Flourless Chocolate Pudding Recipe} is one of my favourite because I can make a chocolate cake for one that:

👉🏼 delivers 21g protein
👉🏼 contains 5 grams of fibre
👉🏼 is under 300 calories

Of course this recipe is scalable so you can make as many as you want for family or friends, but anytime you're craving a chocolate you can whip this up in 20 minutes - perfection!

{HEALTHY KISSES}​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Ok lovers, we don't need as an excuse to pucker up but it *is* a great day to share with you that other than the fact it's fun and feels good, there are actual HEALTH benefits too... 🤯

👉🏼 a passionate kiss can activate up to 24 facial muscles and 112 postural muscles, burns up to 26 calories a minute (LOL), and the increase in blood flow to the face is great for our collagen and elastin

👉🏼 a study from the 80's found participants who kissed their partners lived a median of 5 years longer than those who didn't, hold jobs paying 20-35% more, lessened their chance of illness by up to 50%, and be involved in "significantly fewer" car accidents... WOW

👉🏼 kissing is linked to lower stress (and lower cortisol levels as a result), and lower cholesterol levels

👉🏼 a 10-second French kiss can deliver 80 million bacteria between two people; sounds gross, but this can help your microbiome to be more diverse and healthier

So, if you have someone to smooch today give them a little extra 😜

{THE HEALTH EFFECTS OF HORMONAL BIRTH CONTROL}​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

The marketing team for the contraceptive pill has overpromised and underdelivered; not only have women been sold lies such as 'the pill regulates your hormones' and 'you don't need to have a period' but major omissions have also occurred.

This a judgment-free zone friends - at 16 I ran and got the OCP to sort out my skin (LOL) only to discover a few years later it wasn't solving the underlying issues BUT if you *are* going to be on the pill I'm here to give you the heads up that there are additional things you need to do to protect yourself.

Swipe through for the cliff notes and if you want more details, DM me the word blog and I'll send you a link where you can read the article I wrote on this!

{5 THINGS YOU’RE DOING THAT ARE MESSING WITH YOUR HORMONES}​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Hands up if you've ever been personally victimised by your hormones?! 🙋🏼‍♀️🙋🏼‍♀️😑😑🤪🤣😭

We've all been there, and yes.. it sucks!

The thing is though, most of the time our hormonal issues actually aren't actually hormonal in *origin*

What do I mean by that..?

Most hormone imbalances are actually due to nutritional, environmental and lifestyle problems rather than there being anything inherently wrong with your endocrine system.

🎧 Which is why in today's episode, we chat through {5 Things You're Doing That Are Messing With Your Hormones}.

So if you'd like to avoid accidentally ruining your Zen Goddess vibes, have a listen!

You can tune into The Holistic Health Podcast via any of the usual podcasting platforms and don't forget to share with any friends who need a little help in the hormone department 💕

{RESTFUL SLEEP TIPS}​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

If you're a regular visitor to the Toss'n'Turn Club let me share some recommendations with you... because there's no such thing as too much beauty sleep 💁🏼‍♀️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Now we all know a cool, dark, well ventilated room is important - but so are these:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
👉🏼 get outside outside and expose yourself to natural light around sunrise or within 20-30 minutes of waking up to set your circadian rhythm and ensure sufficient serotonin to make melatonin that night (no sunglasses, glasses or contact lenses FYI)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
👉🏼 don't skip breakfast - eat within an hour or less of waking to avoid adrenalin, cortisol, blood sugar and insulin issues that can inflame your brain/make blood sugar control elusive for the day (this affects sleep)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
👉🏼 ensure your breakfast (and dinner) is balanced - ideally a combination of good quality protein, complex carbs and quality fats⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
👉🏼 if you drink coffee - make sure you have it after breakfast (not before) and cut off the caffeine by 11am ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
👉🏼 avoid artificial light - especially between sunset and sunrise (use bulbs that only emit red and amber hues, and wear blue blockers if on devices)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
👉🏼 ensure your diet is loaded with minerals i.e. magnesium and calcium - these are important for your nervous system to switch off⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
👉🏼 finish dinner 2-3 hours before bedtime, and skip dessert - sugar jacks up cortisol which suppresses melatonin⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
👉🏼 ensure you're breathing through your nose - get your airways assessed/consider mouth taping if not⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
👉🏼 create a wind-down routine that induces parasympathetic activity - yoga, legs up the wall, physiological sighing, a candlelit shower, and/or meditation are all good options⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Of course, there are great natural medicines to support sleep as well (DM me if you want to chat about those) but these 👆🏼are the foundations for deep overnight rest.
