Hormones, DNA & Magnesium 🧬🥑

Have you been sucked into trying that new popular supplement and still getting nowhere?!

Sometimes it’s about stepping back and simply adding in more of the key essential nutrients to solve a problem.

Eating healthily and being prepared doesn’t have to take hours out of your week.

Just having a few veggies cooked in the fridge can be the difference between healthful and unhelpful choices throughout your weeks meals and snacks.

Sugar intake and our bodies response to foods that convert directly to sugar are responsible for so many of the issues we have, from weight gain to hormone imbalances to digestive issues.

It’s not just processed foods with added sugar you need to watch out for.

It’s foods like potatoes, white rice, fine milled oats, breakfast cereals, fruit juice, low fat dairy, bread & pasta.

Try switching it up for full fat dairy, jumbo oats with added nuts & seeds, sweet potatoes, brown rice or mixed grains, eggs & veg at breakfast (not sugar).

Life is beautiful……just add colour
🧡💛💚💜🩷❤️

Adding in as many different colours, in the form of different veggies, herbs and spices wherever you possibly can, could make all the difference to our nutrient and phytonutrient intake as well as adding in that essential fibre.

This helps balance: our gut microbiome, our hormones, our mood and immune system.

Adding in is the best approach to better health, rather than restricting.

🟩I topped the homemade hummus with parsley, paprika, olive oil & more chickpeas.
🟨I roasted the butternut squash with sage leaves so they were delicious and crunchy with the soft butternut squash.
🟧Topped the Greek salad with oregano and more beautiful olive oil.
🟦I added as much fibre as I could into my potato salad in the form of shallots, gherkins, capers and loads of parsley.
🟪The mayo was made from avocado oil, egg yolk apple cider vinegar & Himalayan salt.

All very simple add ins.

Feta & eggs with pickled rhubarb & onion, on a bed of rocket & green beans drizzled with olive oil & black pepper.

This is not lunch or dinner……it’s Breakfast!

Breakfast or the first meal of the day we eat is absolutely the most important❗️

This is because it determines how we are going to feel for most of that day and even into the day after.
It determines our insulin secretion which impacts weight, fatigue, hunger hormones, immune system response, digestion & gut health.

If a spike is caused early in the day it can perpetuate more cravings throughout the day which then has an impact on how and what we eat the following day….a vicious cycle I see so often.

Would I prefer to grab a snack bar, some fruit, cereal, a porridge pot or croissant at breakfast so it took me 7 less minutes to prepare (it only took 8 minutes to make this)….Yes possibly.
Would my sweet taste buds prefer to eat those things ….yes they would (if I had a sweet tooth or gut imbalance-I’ll get to that later).

….but I know that if I do eat that way at my first meal then the time I loose when I keep running to the shop or grabbing more food from the kitchen, constantly needing a drink, nipping to the loo a lot, or falling asleep at my desk will definitely take up those ‘lost’ extra 7 minutes anyway.

Yet I see time & time again with clients who are eating sweet things for breakfast and get stuck in this awful cycle.
-Porridge with no added fibre or protein (nuts & seeds) will spike insulin.
-Cereal will spike insulin.
-Flavoured yogurts (that includes activia and those other supposed ‘healthy’ yogurts) will spike insulin.
-Fruit on its own with no fibre or protein will spike insulin.
-Whatever is essentially dessert for breakfast will spike insulin!

Fun fact, our gut bacteria can influence our tastes. If we have a sweeter tooth it can be that it’s our ‘bad’ bacteria who survive on sugars are actually influencing our choices!

So who is actually choosing the type of foods you eat? Your ‘good’ or ‘bad’ bacteria?

Break-Fast

12 hours is the minimum break that our body needs to complete vital cleaning up processes.

When we press pause on eating for 12 hours it helps our body to:
🌟Use fat stores for energy
🌟Clean out waste from our cells
🌟Reduce inflammation
🌟Balance blood sugar
🌟Encourage gene expression for disease protection
🌟Increase growth hormone which helps burn fat & increase muscle

8pm-8am without eating or drinking anything (other than water, black tea, green tea or black coffee) is not intermittent fasting, it’s eating as we were designed to do and have done for centuries…..hence the word Break-fast!

This one small change can make a world of difference.

I can’t tell you how emotional this message made me! It is exactly the reason I do what I do.

This wonderful lady had been given so much incorrect and unhelpful advice from many different healthcare ‘professionals’, which had created a lot of anxiety around food and her health.
There is so much we can and are putting in place for her, but in manageable positive ways so she can start to enjoy life and food again.

I can’t wait to support her on her journey to health & happiness!

Time is no excuse.
Beat those mid afternoon cravings!
Take out the pre made dressing, add olive oil, apple cider vinegar and some salt, then add the protein of your choice. Not all convenience foods are unhelpful. Just remember to read the label! 😊

27/02/2024

Labels can be so misleading!

Calorie counts do not allow or take into account how we burn or process foods.

As an example…. 100 calories of a processed ‘protein’ bar will be used by the body completely differently to 100 calories of whole nuts.
Our gut bacteria will digest a certain amount of the nuts to help us produce energy and balance blood sugar ….however processed foods are generally digested in the stomach and converted to sugar which then drives insulin, inflammation and/or to be stored as fat.

Look at the ingredients label. This will tell you so much more about what you are taking in.
The general rule is that if you wouldn’t have that ingredient it in your kitchen cupboards at home, then it’s junk!

Be kind to yourself mentally and physically. Take the stress and pressure out of your meal choices by not having to count calories.
By doing this, results will come easier & stay with you longer.

Trying to change our habits for the better (food or lifestyle), doesn’t mean we have to change absolutely everything at once.
Real life and the society we live in doesn’t usually support that way of change, so why would it our eating habits…
This is why restrictive diets DO NOT WORK LONG TERM!

If you are struggling, try adding in just one small thing daily, for 4 weeks.
It could be a breakfast change, mindfully eating at one meal of the day, taking 20 deep breaths before you get out of bed or eating broccoli once per day. (I’d choose the last one as all of my clients will know, how much I love broccoli 🥦 😃).

Repetition is the best way to reprogram neurological pathways.
Focus on that one thing and the rest might just come more easily.
