You can just look at the colour of your food to understand a little about it's health benefits.

Here's a quick and basic guide..
1. RED=Lycopene: Healthy heart & blood, high in anti-oxidants/slows down aging and known to have anti-cancer properties.
2. GREEN=Chlorophyll: Cleanser, detoxifier, anti-cancer properties and can remove heavy metals from the body.
3. BLUE/PURPLE=Anthocyanin: High in anti-oxidants/anti-aging properties that protect against cell damage from stress, reduce stroke risk and promote a healthy heart.
4. YELLOW/ORANGE=Carotenoids: Certain carotenoids concert into Vitamin A and also protect the our eyes and promote healthy skin and more.
5. BROWN/WHITE=Many of these foods like garlic, onions, horseradish etc. are great protectors from viruses and bacteria.

These foods are great to include more of coming into the winter months. Just not before a new date or an event with the in laws Obviously there are a lot of other things to take into account when choosing which foods best support for your physical, mental, emotional well-being. But it's good to know you can use your own eyes and sense perception to begin guiding you instead of learning another language or becoming an academic in nutrient counting.

I'm so grateful for all the new followers joining this community! For those who are new to my socials, I'd love to share a bit about my journey... πŸ™πŸΌ

My path into whole foods medicine began during some of the darkest years of my life. As a young boy, I was facing debilitating physical and mental health challenges that were destroying every area of my life. After years of treatments and procedures with no solutions in sight, I felt like my life was over before it had truly begun.

It was in this desperate moment that I was guided to explore the healing potential of whole foods. This discovery didn't just save my life, it completely transformed it.

Since then, I've studied kinesiology, acupuncture, and mind-body medicine, but what became crystal clear is that the food we choose to eat daily is one of the most powerful influences on our health and wellness.

Today, I'm catering retreats and special events around Byron, teaching whole foods cooking classes and coaching because I'm passionate about empowering people to take control of their health and reach their potential.

Every recipe I share, every ingredient I discuss, comes from this deep understanding that food truly is medicine. This is what whole foods is all about - transformation, healing, and reconnecting with our body's innate wisdom.

Thank you for being part of this journey with me.

The humble beetroot! 🌱

I love incorporating fresh beetroot into life! They're delicious and so versatile - whether roasted with herbs, grated raw into salads, or juiced.

For optimal digestion, I recommend enjoying beetroot cooked rather than raw, as this makes the nutrients more bioavailable whilst being gentler on your digestive fire.

What's your favourite way to enjoy beetroot? I'd love to hear how you incorporate this nourishing root into your meals!

Summer's sweetest medicine in every bite πŸ“βœ¨

This gorgeous red treat is what whole foods magic looks like - a beautiful harmony of native raspberry, rose infusion, and zesty summer lime dancing together on a rich coconut-macadamia crust with creamy cashew layers.

Each ingredient has been chosen not just for flavour, but for its nourishing properties:
🌹 Rose: Heart-opening
πŸ‹ Fresh lime: Digestive support
🫐 Native raspberry: Antioxidant-rich
πŸ₯₯ Coconut & macadamia: Healthy fats
🌰 Cashews: magnesium and protein

Every bite supports your wellbeing whilst satisfying that sweet craving. Perfect for sharing at summer gatherings or enjoying as a mindful afternoon treat.

The rose infusion brings such a beautiful floral note that pairs perfectly with the tartness of native berries and lime. It's like summer captured in a slice!

I love sides and side dishes. They're the unsung heroes that take a simple meal to the next level. ✨

These beautiful accompaniments don't just fill the plate; they create balance, add colour, and bring diverse flavours and textures that make every bite bespoke. Whether it's a vibrant seasonal salad, perfectly roasted vegetables, the chilli sauce you love or armesan cheese (vegan parmesan, recipe is in my feed), side dishes are where creativity meets nutrition.

What's your favourite side dish that transforms your meals? I'd love to hear how you bring that extra magic to your table.
