This Tabouli Lentil Salad is fresh from the garden and full of flavour. It’s got plant-based protein, fiber, and antioxidants to support gut & hormone health. 🌱

The fresh chives, parsley, and mint add brightness and digestive support. I always keep a few cans of lentils (or beans) in the pantry for a super quick-protein based lunch worhout having to cook on a hot day.

And no better place to enjoy it than in the greenhouse!!

Makes a great side to balance grilled salmon or chicken. Comment yum for the recipe 😉

Ladies, let’s talk about the unsung hero of hormone health: F I B E R !! Balancing hormones is daily conversation in my practice—and while protein always gets the spotlight, plant-based proteins and fiber-rich foods deserve a standing ovation too.

This breakfast? A hormone-loving powerhouse:

🌱 Seed loaf packed with flax, sunflower, and chia—hello, fiber and healthy fats!
🌱 Hummus + broccoli sprouts for a protein + phytonutrient boost. Thanks greenfarmnl 😊
🌱 Raspberries bringing color, antioxidants, and even more fiber.
Did you know? Lentils + seeds = a complete protein, meaning they give your body all 9 essential amino acids. So while you’re tracking your protein, don’t overlook the power of plants!

Fiber also:

👍Supports liver detox (bye-bye, excess estrogen)
👍Feeds your gut microbiome (hello, better moods + digestion)
👍Keeps blood sugar stable (hugely important for hormone balance)
Let’s not just focus on more protein—let’s aim for smart protein that works with our body in this beautiful season of life.

Midlife tip: Start your day with fiber, protein + plants. Your hormones (and your gut) will thank you.

Winter can leave our skin dry and dull, and now that the season has changed we're looking to replenish what winter took from us!

With the beautiful weather creeping in, we are still feeling a little chill, so this butternut squash soup will do the trick - lucky for you, this is packed with nutrients to support skin and hormone health.

💡Did you know? Antioxidants, vitamin A, C, and beta-carotene help manage oxidative stress to fend off dryness to keep your skin supple and hydrated.

This soup is satisfying, delicately sweet, and will help you feel balanced on the inside and out. Make it with collagen-rich bone broth (DM for the recipe!) to elevate your glow up even more!

Making your own salad dressing is a small thing that makes a big difference. It's a great way to add healthy fat, herbs and spices, and even probiotics to your day. ✅

Not only does it taste better, you reduce unhealthy fats and unwanted food additives when you replace store bought dressings with your own.

This quick and easy Yogurt Ranch Dressing is a client favourite. Great as a dip or on taco bowls, salads, and wraps!

We can’t always control what life throws at us, but we can prioritize our self care. Creating a daily practice of slowing down will help you feel your best now and enjoy optimal health as you age. Invite more calm into your life by checking in with your body throughout the day. ✨

✅Here are some tips:

1.Put Relax on the to-do list, schedule 15-30 minutes down time every day
2.Practice deep breathing 3 times a day
3.Regular activity is important and going outside can magnify the benefits of physical activity
4.Practice mindful eating for at least one meal per day
5.Use a guided meditation, progressive muscle relaxation, or 4-7-8 breathing technique to help you develop a system for slowing down

These are all things we “know" to do. But do we actually do them? And, who knew that RELAXING might just be the healthy habit that changes everything!❤

🫶What tip given above will you add to your day?
