Greenlight Nutrition & Wellness

Greenlight Nutrition & Wellness Tania is a Registered Clinical Nutritionist and Health Coach focused on women's health and wellness. I love food, especially green food!

My mission is to guide and support women to achieve their health and wellness goals and live vital, empowered lives. I offer a holistic approach to health and meet the client where they are at, providing a welcoming and non-judgemental environment. When clients book in for a nutrition consultation, we start with a full case take to understand their goals in the context of their medical history, current health, medical conditions, medications or supplements. I take a week or so to undertake any research required and then prepare a personalised plan which includes specific recommendations regarding nutrition, meal plans and recipes, lifestyle recommendations and sometimes referral for testing or other modalities. Flower essence or aromatherapy blends may also form part of the plan if appropriate. I meet with the client again to discuss, explain and agree the plan with the client. I also offer stand alone flower essence consultations where we can take a deeper dive into aspects of the personality, body, mind, emotions and spirit, and identify remedies to support harmony and balance.

My background

I am an avid nature enthusiast and visit the beach or bush almost every day. Life experiences have taught me that being close to nature provides the foundation of my mental, emotional and physical health. I want to support others to achieve and maintain wellness through a stronger connection to nature and all that it offers in terms of food, medicine and a healing environment. I feel a rush when I see a plate laden with beautifully coloured vegetables and fruits, which my children think is hilarious. There is so much joy for me in preparing a nutritious meal with love and intention and enjoying it with family and friends. I’m not a naturally gifted chef, but fortunately I’m always willing to learn and improve. Recently establishing a regular mindfulness and yoga practice has become an essential component of health and vitality for me, and I am constantly exploring and experiencing different mind-body approaches. I am so grateful for the health challenges and learnings in my life so far, particularly with regards to skin and gut health, sleep and body image, which enrich the quality of service that I can offer to other women seeking improved health and vitality.

Looking forward to diving into this!

How easy and delish are sautéed brussel sprouts? Nothing like their mushy boiled cousins, that’s for sure. I simply cut these into quarters, sautéed in olive oil with some garlic for 5-10 mins until browned, then topped with salt, pepper, parsley and pine nuts.

Have you tried guava berries? Yum! They are delicious!

I’m not sure how I’ve through life this far not tried the fresh fruit before, but I just met a very kind lady who gave me some from her tree.

With guava being high in antioxidants, vitamin c, potassium and fibre, it made me think how clever nature is in giving us the foods we need to support our health as the seasons change.

They are incredibly versatile fruits and can be enjoyed just as they are or in smoothies, salads, pastes, chutneys and jams, baking, dips, sauces and desserts.

If you’ve got any recipes you’ve tried with guava I would love to hear about them?!

Dreamy creamy vege curry 😋 I’m always trying to find ways to get lots of veges in to our day, in the yummiest ways possible. Consuming a diet high in a variety of non starchy veges is so beneficial for our health and it’s a core aspect of the GEMM protocol that I offer to clients wanting to improve their gut health and overall health.

This curry is just onion, ginger and Indian spices fried for a few minutes, then tinned tomatoes and coconut milk added and brought to a simmer, sliced carrots added and cooked for 5 mins, then the rest of the veges (mushrooms, eggplant, cauliflower, beans, courgette) added and cooked for around 15mins - so easy!

I’ll add chickpeas to boost the protein content for my pescatarian hubby and the kids will have it alongside a lamb curry (but could easily just do some grilled fish or chicken for them as instead).

I so love a simple tray bake for busy week nights 💚

This terakihi bake was so quick to prepare, really tasty and hardly any dishes to clean up at the end.

I started with a drained and rinsed tin of chickpeas, finely red sliced onion and capsicum, cherry tomatoes and paprika all tossed together with olive oil, salt and pepper. Baked it for 15-20 mins until tender, then added fish on top and baked for a further 10 minutes. Beautiful served with a green salad, fresh herbs and a squeeze of lemon juice.

Have recently been recommended this free online pain management course, which can be used combination with clinical nutrition and other modalities. May be of interest to those living with chronic pain, or those who have friends and family living with chronic pain.

March is Endometriosis Awareness month

🩸Endo is characterised by tissue similar to the lining of the uterus, forming outside of the uterus. It varies in the severity of pain experienced and the degree of infiltration into and distortion of surrounding organs.

Despite endo being a fairly common and serious condition, there is still a lot that is unknown about it and it can be difficult for those living with the condition or with undiagnosed pelvic pain, to get the support they need.

Endo is a complex condition and the best treatment options vary from person to person. A multi disciplinary, holistic approach may help to optimise positive outcomes, as this allows management to be considered from many different angles.

For example, a recent systematic review found that nutritional interventions such as a focus on polyunsaturated fats and a gluten free diet had a positive impact on pain perception among women with endo.

I love that holistic clinical nutrition, health coaching techniques and lifestyle support and advice can make such a difference to a potentially debilitating condition such as endo.

Feeling so blessed to have seen this magical place! What a wonder it is to spend time in nature, surrounded by fun and uplifting people.

After three days hiking this incredible trail, I felt humbled at the beauty surrounding me, the diversity of plants and fungi and the simple pleasures of a hot shower, clean clothes, crisp fresh vegetables and a comfy bed waiting for me at the end!

Mmmmm chia pudding 🤤 such a delicious and healthy way to start the day. Simply soak one tablespoon of chia seeds with 1/4 cup of milk overnight, then in the morning add your favourite toppings and devour! My current favourite add ons are high protein vanilla yoghurt, vanilla essence, sliced plum, almonds, pumpkin seeds and rose petals. A beautiful blend of fibre, protein, essential fats, vitamins and minerals to get the day started ☀️⚡️

On Tuesday I attended the Healthy and Active Female Panel featuring Dr Lara Briden, Dr Nicky Kay and Dr Stacey Sims - what a treat! These inspirational women are all experts in hormone health and are helping to raise awareness and understanding about menstrual and hormonal health, dispelling myths and misinformation and shining a light on the huge gaps in scientific research in these areas.

Massey University are undertaking world first research into menstrual fluid and what it can tell us about a persons health, starting with their iron status. How exciting is that?

For more info click below:

Symptoms of low iron include fatigue, dizziness, headaches, shortness of breath on exertion, heart palpitations, poor concentration and lowered immunity.

Iron rich foods include red and organ meats, poultry, mussels and oysters. Vegetarian sources of iron such as eggs, nuts, beans and lentils should ideally be consumed with good source of vitamin c to enhance absorption. 🥩🍗🦪🍊

Always seek a diagnostic blood test to confirm iron status, before supplementing with iron. 🩸
