So often women are told that health is just about “calories in vs calories out.”
But here’s the truth: what you eat matters just as much as how much you eat.
Your body isn’t a calculator, it’s a system of systems — gut, hormones, metabolism, nervous system — all working (or not working) together.
And every symptom you’re feeling — bloating, fatigue, brain fog, PMS, low mood, stubborn weight gain — is your body telling you it’s missing the variety of nutrients it needs to function.
* Your gut thrives on fibre and colourful plants that feed the right bacteria.
* Your hormones need protein, omega 3s, and B vitamins to stay balanced.
* Your metabolism depends on antioxidants, minerals, and healthy fats to keep your mitochondria firing.
* Even your mood is linked to what’s on your plate — serotonin, your “feel good” neurotransmitter, is produced in the gut.
This is why variety is non-negotiable.
Not endless restriction, not eating the same three “safe” meals, not cutting whole food groups.
But a rainbow of whole, nutrient-dense
foods that nourish every part of your body.
