The Power of Fibre for Your Gut 🌱
Did you know a healthy gut thrives on diversity? Fibre is the key to feeding the trillions of microbes in your gut, especially those all important commensals, which I often see in gut tests as being depleted due to modern diets and lifestyle.
It’s important to note that it’s not just about eating more fibre - it’s about eating a variety of it! The magic number is 30 - that’s 30 different plant foods in a week to nurture your microbiome 🦠 🌈

Why fibre matters:
It supports healthy digestion and prevents constipation 🚀
Balances blood sugar 🩸
Promotes a thriving gut microbiome

I’ve been working with my clients to boost their diversity and aim for 30 different plant foods in a week. It’s always exciting for me to see how small changes can make a big impact on gut health!

Here are some helpful tips:
-add a handful of nuts and seeds to your breakfast
- add some veggies in season to a salad, I love using up leftover roasted veggies - warm salads are great in winter!
- add veggies and berries to smoothies
- make a big batch of soup with whatever you have in your fridge that needs using up
- use fresh herbs and spices to brighten up your dishes
- experiment with different grains: quinoa, wild rice, red rice, spelt etc
- swap potato for sweet potato
- add legumes or beans to soups, this is a great way to also increase protein content!
- add in some herbal teas
- explore one new food weekly, pick up a veggie or fruit when shopping that you have never tried before
- add in some fermented foods, kimchi and sauerkraut are great!

If you’re looking to support your immunity and gut health this winter, take a closer look at your fibre intake.

For my menopausal women, 50 +, once you are on the other side of menopause fasting gets so much easier. The challenge is that often times you have accumulated symptoms in your 40s that haven't gone away. When Estrogen declines you become more insulin resistant.

This is the age category that needs the most fasting and it's the easiest!

Check out my latest YouTube video, " Women without a Cycle - How do you Fast?" - I go into detail and explain each age category and how you can fast + much more!

"Imbolc marks the beginning of beginnings, when things are stirring and energy is building, and it asks us to notice what is growing quietly in the dark.

The word “wise” comes from the proto-indo-european root weid, which means “to see” or “to know.” Rather than rushing forward with the usual answers, intentions, goals and actions, Imbolc urges us to see things differently and to consider what we think we know.

In these pre-emergence, pre-spring days, what is stirring quietly in you? What beginning of beginnings are you nurturing in your own life? What whispers are tugging at your heart?" ~Kristen Roderick

Take the time to appreciate where you are, what you're doing, and who is with you. Don’t dwell in the past or worry about what will happen in the future, try to savour each moment as it passes.
