This is mad....

"Exercise has been SCIENTIFICALLY PROVEN to reduce your risk of inflammatory bowel disease like Ulcerative Colitis and Chrons disease.

It reduces inflammatory levels which is a prerequisit to bowel disease.
And can also help IBS"

Crazy!

Laura Bennett and I discussed the fascinating relationship between exercise and gut health (as well as acne and anxiety) in todays podcast episode.

It's been 5 years since I learned the impact hormones can have on your skin..

Struggling with acne since early teens and then being put onto birth control from the age of 15
-(which only made my acne come back with a vengeance)-
The moment I woke up with genuinely clear skin was the most amazing, liberating feeling.

I wish someone had told me years ago, how I needed to balance my hormones.

But I did the work and now I get to spend 3 minutes doing my makeup in the morning instead of 25 💁‍♀️

Can't wait to see more clients this weekend and start them on their journey of transformation!

The biggest perk of the Nutrition job for me is seeing my clients improvements giving them a new lease of life, increased energy, positive mental health and the ability to slay life!

Sports Athele?
Weights Training?

Did you know B Vitamins are essential for utilising energy from carbs, fats AND protein?

This can help to further sports performance.

They are also essential for BUILDING muscle.. rendering your additional protein intake useless if you have sub optimal levels.

They have also been shown to improve performance in precision sports, such as shooting, potentially due to their role in synthesizing Serotonin, the Neurotransmitter involved in focus and calm.

In my element today eating allergy friendly waffles at this 100% gluten free cafe 😍 🧇

But not everyone is actually intolerant to gluten 😨
There is a difference between intolerance to wheat, gluten, and gliadin. Gliadin is a protein found in gluten, as well as other foods.

If you haven't pin pointed your true intolerance, you may still experience symptoms long after believing you've cut out your suspected triggers..🤦‍♀️

Do you see a Dandelion or Coffee in this picture??

Yup- roasted dandelion root is sometimes used as a substitute for coffee, due to its resemblance in appearance and taste! ☕

Other health benefits of dandelion are thought to include reducing inflammation, lowering blood pressure and assisting with blood sugar regulation.

Who knew that what we perceive to be a pesky little w**d actually has so many hidden qualities 🤷‍♀️🌼

The easiest way to up your health game is to simply add to what you're already doing..

Adding frozen berries to porridge in the morning kick starts your day with a bunch of anti oxidants and polyphenols which contribute to a healthy immune system.

Add peanut or almond butter for some slow release energy to prevent mid morning junk food cravings 🥜😋

Suffering from hay-fever related symptoms? Itchy eyes? Runny nose? Headaches? 🤧😭😵‍💫

Trying a low-histamine diet this spring may help to alleviate your symptoms by keeping your allergy reactions in check.

While your body may be reacting to environmental triggers such as higher pollen counts 🌾🌻🌺 high levels of histamine in the body can aggravate these responses too.

Histamine is a chemical made by the body, but certain foods also contain histamine as well as promote its biological production (known as histamine liberators.) 🍅🥝🧀🥛🍺🥑

Being aware of the these foods and limiting their intake could help to alleviate a range of symptoms, which include (but are not limited to):

- headaches + migraines
- itching
- nausea
- heightened anxiety
- digestive problems
- joint pain

Check out this informative BBC Good Food article for more info on low histamine diets including a list of low and high histamine foods, how to manage levels and a bit more of the sciencey stuff!

Histamine is not just about allergy. Nutritionist Kerry Torrens explores what histamine is, why it’s important for health, and what problems may arise if you have too much of it.
