Maintaining a healthy balance of carbohydrates in your diet is essential for proper hormone production and regulation.

Research shows us that there is a significant decrease in resting testosterone levels when individuals consume a low-carb diet, specifically with a higher protein intake (greater than 35%).

High-protein diets can lower testosterone levels because they can increase inflammation and oxidative stress.

✨️HIGH PROTEIN BROCCOLI & QUINOA FRITTERS✨️

I saw this recipe from .vegetarian and thought I must give it a go! I also gave some to my 8month old baby who loved it!

This is so easy to make and very filling.

✨️THE BENEFITS✨️

QUINOA: high in protein and is a complete source of protein, meaning it contains all 9 essential amino acids.

BROCCOLI: high in fibre and contains sulforaphane, which is known to protect against cell damage, reduce inflammation and build and repair DNA.

CANNELINI BEANS: high in protein, fibre, iron and copper

CHICKPEA FLOUR: gluten free and high in protein. 1 cup of chickpea flour contains 20grams of protein.

✨️THE RECIPE✨️

1 small head of broccoli, finely chopped

1 cup cooked quinoa

1/2 cup cooked or canned black beans (I used cannelini beans)

1½ teaspoon smoked paprika

1½ teaspoon dried oregano

1½ teaspoon dried rosemary

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 cup chickpea flour

1/2-3/4 cup water

✨️THE METHOD✨️

I literally put every ingredient into a bowl, used a stick blender to blend it all together, then placed a spoon full into a hot pan to make the fritters. Cooked on both sides until browned. OR you can follow .vegetarian method.

Easy!

Let me know if you make it 😀 and enjoy it as much as we did.

✨️My ANTIOXIDANT smoothie✨️

One of my daily smoothies for a breastfeeding mumma of 2. Not pictured are the h**p seeds and flaxmeal.

Antioxidants pass through breast milk and are important for protecting babies from disease.

Ingredients:
》1 cup Frozen bananas (must be frozen it makes it creamy)
》1/2 cup Frozen mixed berries (woolworths ran out of these so I just used Frozen blueberries instead)
》1 tsp blueberry powder
》1 tsp plant based calcium
》1/2 tsp camu camu powder
》1 tbspn flaxmeal (high in omegas )
》1 tbspn h**p seeds (high in omegas and protein)
》almond milk

Directions:
Blend and enjoy 😀

Benefits:
Antioxidants protect the body from damage caused by harmful molecules called free radicals (free radicals are unstable atoms that can damage cells, causing illness and aging).

Antioxidants can help support:
》healthy aging processes and keep your skin healthy
》brain function and mental health
》can help reduce inflammation
》support a healthy gut microbiome
》healthy immune system
》aid in the production of collagen

Blueberries are high in anthocyanins. Anthocyanins have been shown to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and provide neuroprotective benefits.

There is no single cause of ADHD.

Studies have shown a connection between poor gut microbiome and ADHD symptoms.

Children with ADHD may show reactions to gluten, particularly when their digestion is compromised.

In such cases, improper breakdown of gluten leads to the absorption of larger protein (gliadin) molecules.

This improper breakdown leads to inflammation of the intestinal lining, which then travels via the gut-brain axis to the brain (in particular, the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex), causing neuroinflammation.

In most ADHD cases, it is common to conduct a hair tissue mineral analysis to check for heavy metal toxicity as this can contribute to ADHD symptoms.

We can offer support and functional testing to help reduce symptoms, eliminate the problem/s and get you back to feeling like YOU again!

Herbal medicines contain active ingredients from natural plants. Their use dates back thousands of years, even before the invention of conventional medicine.

Herbal medicine is fantastic to treat or prevent disease.

Areas I have special interests in is the lymphatic system, thyroid health, gut health, skin health and cardiovascular health.

Also, being a mum of two, I enjoy helping those through preconception, pregnancy and especially postpartum as I understand how challenging this time can be.

There are some beautiful herbs, nutraceuticals and great dietary advice that I can give to help make the 'fourth trimester' an easier transition and support the nervous system through one of the biggest hormone changes a woman can go through.

Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
