Enjoy these delicious colourful foods without the worry of ⚠️☣️☢️

I know my children love melon and pineapples in season and we eat heaps. 🍍so I’m ok to compromise on those ones

What’s your clean compromise?

The price of food right now in New Zealand is shocking. I get it!

Knowing that these ones have the fewest pesticides you can eat these without the worry of death by Monsanto 🫠👹

I am concerned about GE corn though 😬

From June 2023, New Zealand will change their screening criteria for cervical cancer and instead of the doctor swabbing you for cell abnormalities, you will be able to do this in your own home yourself, and you’ll be swabbing yourself for high risk HPV.

What I love about the self swabbing is that there are many barriers for women including shyness, cultural considerations, abuse, inability to get to a clinic and or pay for an appointment, that can be over come.

I’m looking forward to self swabbing 😬

Once upon a time I thought it was a MASSIVE step to put avocado in my smoothies. Now while I don’t have many in winter I am very much looking forward to the warmer weather and putting some of these into the smoothies.

I often cook extra with dinner and then pop it in a lunch box for the next days smoothie.

What’s the weirdest thing you’ve ever smoothied?

No comments about the aubergines 😂🍆

Eat more purple because they have amazing antioxidant anthocyanins which are super for calming the brain, boosting mood, cancer reducing, good for vision and neuro-protective

Green for detox!

You know I never get tired of harping on about broccoli sprouts and their friends👯‍♀️👯‍♂️

Amazing green foods have magical nutrients that help us support our liver detoxification pathways.

They also supply significant amount of minerals like iron, magnesium and calcium and the cruciferous ones contain Sulforaphane which is a super hero?

What’s your best way to go green?😉

Yellow foods for digestive health and microbiome

Yellow foods seem
To have the magic ingredient to support digestion.

Yellow foods are like kiwis and corn are amazing prebiotics and aid gastric motility

Pineapple has the enzyme bromelain to support coughs and digestion

Unripe bananas are super prebiotic and your microbiome loves them

Ginger is another one of my favs and is incredible for pain, indigestion and soothing and lemons stimulate gastric juices, have vitamin C and are just so damn delicious on everything 😁

What’s your favourite colourful food?

Part of my morning ritual….(who the f! Actually has one of those?)….😂😵‍💫anyway-me apparently.

Let’s talk about light therapy🌞

I was not going another year in NZ without a light box 🌚🌪☃️🌨🌬

I love starting my day with 10-15 mins of extreme light into my eyes. I notice my body has a lot more energy and I feel a lot less miserable this winter.

And the cat seems to love it-so that says something😻

What you need to look for in your light box

-that it’s large enough to produce enough light to reach your face and neck
-10 000 lux lightbulb
-bigger is better 😉
-clinically reduces SAD
-UV free
-aids cortisol awakening response that get your up and at’ ‘em in the morning
-may improve immunity
-helps with your sleep and wake cycles
-aids serotonin production

I brought the Northern Lights box off Amazon. It was here within 10 days

As part of any post viral recovery I think it is important to support the Body in any way you can

Some techniques I found helpful while I had The C but also super important after, were:

1. Daily breath work sessions
2. Sunlamp every morning
3. Fresh organic raw juices with a sh*tload of ginger
4. And rest rest rest followed by a week of convalescence

After
5. Infra red sauna
6. Hot and cold shower therapy
7. Ocean dips-I waited a full 2.5 weeks before going back to this

I definitely took the time to allow by body to take it easy. We seemed to have skipped this step in our lives and want to go from unwell to 100%.

But when we try to jump that step-it seems we may get a bite in the bum and then are forced to convalesce a lot longer

I also recommend catching up with your favourite body work practitioner. My acupuncturist and very talented and special human Rachel from Ascent Acupuncture fine tuned my body and had me feeling better than ever💓

Want your practice to be the top-listed Clinic in Wellington?

Naturopath, Nutritionist, Herbalist

📷14 years ago I completed my degree in English with a focus on language and the lack there of in autistic children. 10 years ago I did a two year diploma in Advanced Nutritional Therapy where I learned about naturopathic healing modalities and the foundations of health achieved through nutrition. I have remained very passionate about nutrition and naturopathy, and have attended numerous seminars, done a course in genetics, gene therapy and nutrigenomics. I have also kept myself up to date with the latest functional medicine testing techniques, such as microbiomic training, GI effects, DUTCH hormone testing, food allergy testing, heavy metal and environmental toxicity and am currently learning about Organic acid testing. I am currently up-skilling doing a course in functional testing and doing every available webinar and seminar that is child focused. I have an absolute insatiable thirst for knowledge.

Having two children of my own who have both experience food allergies, sensitivities, and behavioural issues has taught me valuable lessons in the role that supplementation, botanical medicine and nutrition can play in either health promotion or health negation. I look forward to meeting with you and working with you and your children in the clinic.
