My heart gives a little squeeze when I see my grandson walk beside my husband and I’m reminded why our own health choices matter so much. Not for perfection. Not for a number on the scales. For energy to play, walk, explore, and be there for the little people watching us.

It’s never too late to change your lifestyle.
To eat in a way that supports your body.
To move more.
To sleep better.
To choose calm over chaos where you can.
What’s one small habit you’d like a little one in your life to see you doing regularly? Because our kids and grandkids don’t do what we say – they copy what we do. Change takes courage especially when the changes don't happen as quickly as we would like. Don't stop trying, do better because you know better.

Here’s to being the healthy example they quietly absorb every day. 👣

Today reminded me that one of the most powerful “health habits” isn’t in a book or an app… it’s this ☕💚

Fresh air, a beautiful view, and unhurried time with people you love – talking, laughing, simply being together. Social connection calms our nervous system, lifts our mood, and quietly supports our long-term health… but more than that, it just makes life sweeter.

If things have felt a bit full lately, consider this your gentle nudge to book that coffee date or lake walk with someone who fills your cup. These are the moments we’re really doing it all for. Who’s someone you’d love to share an unhurried cuppa with this week? 🌿

Freezer stash sorted 😊 (Well sort of...I made 8 of these and the family are hoovering through them - Only 4 left 🙀!)
A few days ago, I spent some time batch-cooking one of my favourite family-friendly keto meals – Keto Cheeseburger Casserole with Bacon. These little foil tins are perfect for:
✅busy weeknights
✅taking a meal to a friend
✅quick “heat & eat” lunches when life gets full
It’s loaded with mince, eggs, cream, cheese and bacon – all the good keto fats and protein – and it freezes beautifully. The best part is they can be defrosted in a jiffy and eaten "Bowl style". Just add lettuce, burger sauce (I have a great keto adapted recipe and any of your favourite burger add-ons. I love sugar free pickles from Ceres and some sautéed mushrooms.

Even when you try to choose as carefully as possible, travel food can still surprise you. 😅

Tonight’s local feast was a perfect example – beautiful fresh tuna and island salad… plus a very solid scoop of rice and a creamy dressing that definitely weren’t part of my usual keto line-up. I could have spent the whole meal stressing about what was on my plate, calculating carbs and feeling grumpy that I’d paid for food I wasn’t going to eat.

Instead, I chose a different focus. I ate the bits that served me, left the rest, and then let my attention wander to where the real magic was happening: laughing with a dear friend, soaking up the market buzz, the music, the warm breeze and that ridiculous tropical beauty all around us.

Sometimes the best “keto decision” on holiday isn’t about perfect macros – it’s about protecting your mindset. Enjoy what you can have, leave what you don’t want, and let the memories be about the people and the place, not the rice you left on your plate. 🌴💚

KETO POKE, 10 MINUTES 🐟🥑
All the flavour, none of the rice. This is our house favourite for a fast, blood-sugar-friendly dinner. We love the fresh taste and for a quick meal, you cant beat this!
Build your bowl
• Base: chopped cos/iceberg (or cauliflower “rice”)
• Protein: sashimi salmon + tuna, cubed
• Fats: avocado cubes
• Crunch: nori strips + sesame seeds
• Dressing: Tamari and wasabi for a fresh, tasty bite
Pile up the greens + avocado, add the dressed fish, finish with nori & sesame. That’s it. 💥
Find the recipe on my website 🥰

One of my travel “rules” is that I don’t waste my carb piggybank on food I can get any day back home. Airport muffins and generic bread rolls? Easy no.

But a fresh coconut on a warm island morning (husband did NOT like it 🤣), Ika mata (raw fish salad) - delicious 😋 … or a mysterious purple local fruit I’ve never even seen before (and still haven’t found out what it is??🫣)? That’s where I might choose to spend a few of those carbs – slowly, mindfully and with huge appreciation.

Cultures express themselves through food, and on this trip I’ve chosen to taste things that are completely new to me. They may not all serve my long-term keto goals, but they absolutely serve my desire to absorb this place – the sights, sounds, sand and sea on my skin, and the flavours on my tongue.

It’s not “throw caution to the wind” – discernment still guides me. Most of my meals are still very keto: simple meats, fish, salads and plenty of good fats. Then, every now and then, I’ll choose something special, enjoy it fully, and then slide straight back into my usual way of eating. No guilt, no drama.

How do you handle food when you travel – stay strictly on plan, or save your “carb piggybank” for a few intentional local experiences? 🌺

(Ika mata by - I ate mine before I took a photo 😉😁)

Jetting off with my on-board food all sorted ✈️

Travel is SO much easier when you’re prepared – especially on a keto lifestyle. Instead of stressing about what I’ll find at the airport or on the plane, I pack my own simple basics:
🧀 Slices of cheese & brie
🥩 Biltong/jerky
🥜 A small bag of mixed nuts

Real food, plenty of protein and healthy fats, and no blood sugar roller coaster while we fly.

Keto travel doesn’t have to be complicated. A few tips I use:
1️⃣ Think “protein first” – cheese, hard-boiled eggs, meat, tinned fish.
2️⃣ Add easy fats – olives, nuts, a little butter or mayo in a small container.
3️⃣ Don’t rely on airport food. If there’s nothing suitable, you’re prepared.
4️⃣ Remember you don’t have to eat just because food is offered – fasting through a flight is an option too.

Off on an adventure with my favourite people and feeling relaxed, organised and well-fed – keto style. 💕

Cancer used to terrify me.
Now, more and more, I’m seeing hope.

Over the past year I’ve stepped into a new area of my work with Reversal NZ – supporting people in the metabolic and integrative oncology space as a metabolic nutrition coach.

Instead of viewing cancer care as just “slash and burn” – surgery, chemo, radiation and nothing else – there is a growing movement towards a patient-centred, collaborative approach. This is what lights me up. 💛

Integrative oncology looks at the whole person – nutrition, metabolism, stress, sleep, mindset, community and purpose – and asks, “How can we support the body and work with standard medical treatment, not against it?”

The emerging science of metabolic treatment of cancer is developing quickly, and the stories of people responding well are coming thick and fast. Books like Radical Remission and How to Starve Cancer are just two examples of this shift in thinking, and I’m so proud to be part of this evolving field with the team at Reversal NZ.

If you or someone you love is navigating a cancer diagnosis and you’re curious about metabolic and lifestyle support alongside your medical care, know that you are not alone and that questions are welcome here. 🌿

(As always, nothing I share replaces medical advice – any changes to treatment or nutrition should be discussed with your oncology team.)

I don’t often share photos of my girls, but this feels like a very special moment. 💕

In just a few days I’ll be flying to Rarotonga to join my daughter Tayla and her wonderful fiancé Shaun as we get ready for their island wedding. Friends and family will all be together for a whole week of sunshine, swimming, laughter and celebrations before the big day – and I can’t wait to be right in the middle of it all.

Bags are (almost!) packed, and I’m so ready for some time off-grid – a proper digital detox with just sun, sea and people I love. How blessed am I? 🌺✨

I love being able to point folks to a restaurant or cafe that serves a great keto-friendly meal. A few days ago, I got to enjoy this mushroom omelette topped with rocket, poached eggs, Parmesan cheese and Hollandaise. Grindz Cafe in Tauranga city center served this yummy and VERY filling dish. They make a delicious coffee too!

Burgers for dinner! Keto style 😉❤️

Who needs a bun when you’ve got all the best parts right here? 🥩🥑

This bowl has juicy beef, caramelized onions, creamy avocado, fresh lettuce, and tomato — all drizzled with a sugar-free Nothing Naughty tomato sauce.

It’s everything you love about a burger — without the carbs or the crash. 💪
Perfect for lunch, dinner, or any day you’re craving comfort food that still fits your keto goals.
