Ah the old veggie lasagne, very humbling 😆😁 What you think you can whip up quickly soon turns into a 2 hour session, but oh so worth it! Veggies all pre roasted. Gf lasagne sheets par boiled, tomato sauce made with peeled fresh tomatoes, basil, garlic, sugar S&P, bechamel made with soy milk, gf flour, butter, nutritional yeast, tasty cheese and S&P. Knocked up the trusty chicken soup too

A stitch in time saves 9 as they say! Often we come home from Saturday morning footy with hungry tummies so I did some prep yesterday and last night for a delicious lunch! I’m also trialling some dipping sauces for a rice paper roll feast for women’s circle. Home made hoisin and almond satay from . The hoisin is the BEST sauce I’ve ever tasted 🤤🤤🤤 The satay super toasty, sesame and nutty. Divine!
Chicken was piaxhen in a chicken stock and coconut broth

Does anyone else have those days where you just CRAVE fruit, veggies, salad and greens?! Or is this a weird naturopath thing??!! Started off with a carrot, orange, mandarin and ginger juice this morning (which I forgot to take a pic 🫣), then made a brilliantly green spinach and basil pesto, slabbed that onto a haloumi sanga stuffed with salad for lunch and chased with with a fresh juice of pineapple, parsley and coriander served with heaps of ice. Thoroughly satisfying 😁 . Tinkering and pottering with foods brings me so much joy ☀️. I’m menu planning for our women’s circle annual weekend away, bliss 😋

As a naturopath, I wanted to share some of the things I do, with 20 years of clinical experience: I eat chips and chocolate, an occasional gin, but I also love to nourish my body, most of the time, with Wholefoods. Life is too short not to indulge in delicious things . I exercise, not religiously, but gently, with whatever time allows and how ever I’m feeling. Beach and bush walks, always slow, always with my 🐶. I jump in the ocean sporadically, I try to do 1-2 weights sessions a week, but I don’t berate myself if it doesn’t happen. I honour and value rest as much as I value and prioritise movement. I really love my sleep, generally 8-9 hours a night, but sometimes I watch Netflix in bed, because it’s fun😝 I connect regularly with my beautiful friends, but surprisingly, I’m a bit of a solo beast too, love a bit of me time! I’m constantly learning and relearning. Not everything I once thought, still is, I try to leave my ego at the door and update my knowledge as much as I can.
The point of me sharing this is that perfection is a dangerous destination. We are all human, humaning our way through life’s’ chapters. Don’t obsess over every little thing, focus on joy, enjoyment, connection and let food and nutrition be a great base, with room for movement. ❤️❤️❤️

Alas, the restful, slow pace of January must come to an end. And with it, the return of school lunches, early mornings, sports and regular work hours . Maybe it’s just me, but a good old cook up and done lunch and brekkie always makes me feel a little bit more prepared 🤣 Even if it gets us through week 1! Todays efforts included bacon, eggs and cheese muffins for Sterlo, GF/DF fudge brownie for Murph (half individually wrapped in the freezer, half for the next few days!) a big batch of sweet potato and spinach Dahl, chickpea stew and rice. Tomorrow I’m plant on punching out a bolognaise and chicken soup for those “late home after sport “ nights ❤️🥵💪🏻😎

Sorry, I’m back annoying you with good pics again 😋🫣😎 This was a good old chia pudding bowl. Chia seeds mixed with soy milk, Greek yog and vanilla, stirred and sat in the fridge for halfa. Served topped with blackberries, fresh cherries and a yummy Aldi paleo granola I like:) xx paired with a milky cup of earl grey 🌈

In what was an incredibly enlightening and informative, brave talk, deeply founded in research, was Professor Peter Smiths presentation on Chronic fatigue, myalgic encephalomyelitis and long covid. Prof is a leader and pioneer in immunology, he is a THRICE professor (yep, 3!!) and possibly the smartest person I’ve ever listened to 🤯 . The take home messages here: Chronic fatigue syndrome is now classified as a biological disease now termed Myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME) We are WeLL past labelling these chronically unwell patients as “just tired” and depressed. Is the perhaps the most gaslit, poorly validated and supported condition in health care? Often occurs post virally or other significant traumas, ME is a whole body, systemic condition effecting the GIT, brain, heart, causing symptoms such as poor exercise tolerance, pain, poor sleep, GIT symptoms, poor immunity, to name a few…. Interestingly, a rather prominent symptoms/phenomenon is an increased sensitivity to smells and sounds…. Going back to my post from Olivia regarding inflammation, what is happening here, is that due to chronic and persistent triggering of the body’s immune system , it starts to perceive otherwise innocuous things as a threat. From what we breathe in, (increase in allergies and rhinitis) to feeling easily startled and overwhelmed. Tolerance to normal life is significantly impaired…. These patients can develop significant allergies, sensitivities and intolerances and even go on to develop MCAS (mast cell activation syndrome) Think rashes, hives…. Our ANS (autonomic nervous system, “rest and digest”) is hugely impacted, leaving the body in a heightened stated of “fight and flight”, on guard, ready to run/fight/freeze…. We actually see so much inflammation in these post viral conditions such as long covid, that imaging shows swelling in the brain stem…Supporting treatment discussed included B12, mag, zinc, folate, quercetin, vitamin A, probiotics, vit C. Medically things like low dose naltrexone and some anti virals. Simple sleep, vitamin C, zinc and A showed 50% symptoms improvement in covid compared to 16% with some of the prescribed medications. So MUCH to talk about here!
