Amidst the current protein focus in the nutrition world, it’s important to remember: not all sources of protein are created equal.

The rise in processed meat consumption and the availability of “high-protein” packaged snacks at supermarkets is concerning. While these products may contain protein, they often come with health risks.

Processed meats like ham, bacon, sausages, and salami are classified as Group 1 carcinogens - the same category as to***co and asbestos.

In its natural state, meat offers unparalleled nutritional density, providing iron, zinc, B vitamins, essential fatty acids, magnesium, choline, and high-quality protein - without the harmful preservatives found in processed options.

Our Healing Chicken Bone Broth 🍋

This is our go-to broth recipe - intentionally designed to support gut healing.

This broth forms a foundational part of our protocols for patients with intestinal permeability (“leaky gut”), eczema, digestive disorders, autoimmune conditions, inflammation, injury and low immunity.

We use a whole chicken to keep the cooking time down (minimising histamine build-up) while delivering a delicious and nutrient dense broth.

The connective tissue, skin, and bones provide a rich source of zinc, collagen, gelatin, and key amino acids like glycine, proline, and glutamine.

These nutrients are essential for restoring the gut lining, calming inflammation, supporting detoxification, and improving skin and joint health.

Sip it as a warm drink between meals or use it as a healing base for soups, stews, and slow-cooked meals.

𝗜𝗻𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀

1 whole organic/free-range chicken
8 whole black peppercorns
2 sprigs fresh parsley
2 Tbsp fresh dill
2 tsp sea salt (adjust to taste)
1 tsp turmeric
1 carrot, sliced
1 celery stalk, sliced
1 leek, sliced

𝗗𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀

Add all of the ingredients (except the herbs) to a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a gentle boil.

Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer, partially covered, for 90 minutes.

Lift out the chicken carefully and set it aside to cool. (You can shred the meat and set aside to use in meals)

Simmer for another 30 minutes, uncovered.

Stir in the parsley and dill, cover, and turn off the heat. Leave for 10 minutes.

Strain the broth through a sieve, taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Store in the fridge (up to 5 days) or freezer (up to 6 months.

After experiencing the benefits of The Mothers Blend personally, I knew we had to make this incredible wholefood supplement available here in NZ.

Formulated with wildly nutrient-dense ingredients often missing from even the healthiest diets, The Mothers Blend includes:

• Grass-fed liver for natural sources of iron, B12 and folate
• Kelp for iodine
• Camu camu for vitamin C and antioxidants
• Lactobacillus probiotics for gut health
• Fermented greens like chlorella, spinach and broccoli for extra folate support

And because these nutrients come from real, wholefood sources, they’re delivered in their natural complexes - complete with the co-factors, enzymes, and bioavailable forms your body recognises and uses best.

Perfect for mums, mums-to-be, and anyone wanting a deeply nourishing supplement to support their energy and wellbeing.

Also available in a Children’s Blend - the most amazing multi for little ones.

Over the past few months in clinic, we’ve had so many breakthroughs with patients using Vaginal Microbiome Testing - finally getting answers after years of symptoms or fertility struggles.

Vaginal health is an essential (yet often overlooked) part of our overall health.

Recurrent UTIs, BV, chronic thrush, discomfort around ovulation or s*x, and unexplained fertility issues can be exhausting and emotionally draining.

Traditional approaches like antibiotics, antifungals, or OTC creams may offer short-term relief, but because they often miss the root cause, symptoms return.

This is where microbiome testing is changing the game.

It’s ideal for women experiencing:
• Recurrent UTIs or thrush
• Chronic or antibiotic-resistant BV
• Vaginal discomfort, odour, itching, or discharge
• Infertility or miscarriage with no clear cause
• HPV persistence or abnormal Pap smears

In our latest blog, we unpack how vaginal microbiome testing works - and how it can help you finally relieve discomfort or support conception.

Loved by everyone who’s tried it, our One-Pot Spicy Green Curry has become a firm favourite from our 28-Day Detox Program.

It’s the kind of meal that feels like you’ve gone to a lot of effort, but secretly takes 20 minutes, uses one pot, is packed with protein, loaded with fibre, and is perfect as leftovers for lunch.

If you’re in a bit of a food rut or just want something warming and healthy, this one’s for you!

𝗢𝘂𝗿 𝗙𝘂𝗻𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗚𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗧𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴

Ever wondered why the same diet or workout works wonders for your friend but not for you? It’s your genes 💥

They influence how your respond to food, exercise, stress, and even hormone changes. And you can influence how they’re expressed (hello, epigenetics! 👏🏽)

What you eat, how you move, how well you sleep, even how you manage stress… all of it can switch genes on or off and change how your body functions day to day.

✨ 𝗙𝗼𝗿 𝗲𝘅𝗮𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲:

• FTO: This gene can affect how you store fat and how your hunger hormones work - making it harder to feel full, which impacts fat loss and food cravings.

• COMT: This gene controls how quickly you clear adrenaline and dopamine. A slower variant means you’re more likely to experience anxiety, overwhelm, and poor sleep.

• CYP1A1: Certain variants push oestrogen down a more inflammatory pathway - increasing the risk of PMS, oestrogen dominance, and perimenopausal symptoms.

𝗪𝗲 𝘁𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘀 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴:

• Weight management
• Hormones & metabolism
• Inflammation & ageing
• Stress resilience
• Nutrient needs

𝗝𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗮 𝘀𝗻𝗶𝗽𝗽𝗲𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝘂𝘀:

• Fat metabolism and weight - how YOUR body stores and burns fat + the right diet and exercise style for you

• Your progesterone receptors (alpha/beta) + mood link (PMS/PMDD)

• How your body responds to ostrogen & detoxifies hormones (especially important for ostrogen dominance, PMS, perimenopause)

• How quickly your body clears inflammation after injury, illness, or stress

• Cortisol sensitivity and whether stress hits you harder than others

• The nutrients you need more of (or less), and why some supplements might not work well for you via .app

If you’ve noticed it’s harder to lose weight in your 40s than it was in your 20s or 30s, you’re not imagining it.

But it’s not just about a slowing metabolism or hormones “going haywire.” The science of fat loss after 40 is more nuanced - and more hopeful - than most people realise.
