Such a bittersweet day - on one hand, I'm celebrating my own motherhood, but on the other hand, I'm grieving the loss of my mother 💐

I'm still learning how to live with this duality 💔

Our love, experiences and lessons guide me DAILY. I couldn't be more grateful for her 🤍

I'm also deeply grateful for all my other mummies, including my mother-in-law 💙

Wishing every MOM a wonderful Happy Mother's Day 💐

And if you've been navigating motherhood while grieving your own mother - I see you 🌱 I am you.

Let's dive into something many of us grew up with - bush medicine 🌿

It's We T'ing Wednesday Cultural Fam' 🙌🏾

A few years ago I wrote an article for Healthline exploring the traditional practice of bush medicine in the Caribbean

I'm talking about:
🌿 Teas
🌿 Tonics
🌿 Coolings
🌿 And ointments to "sap" for pain

These aren't just remedies - they're part of our cultural identity and something that's very much alive today

But, they do need context, safety & intention

You can read the full article with the link in my bio

👉🏾 I'd love to hear from you - what's one bush medicine you grew up with?

And all those whose lives were kilkitayed (turned upside down) because of cancer 🙏🏾

This was the MOST meaningful 5K event to me - thanks to &

But my mummy was a VIBRANT woman 💃🏾 so my tears turned into dancing in her honour & for my own healing 😄 - got me out of my shell

took us home on a high note 🤩 - but thanks for recognizing the men in the crowd & spotlighting my amazing husband 🙌🏾

Idk who this is for but: cultural foods aren't inherently unhealthy

Do you SEE the diversity of OUR foods? 🤏🏾🤏🏾

🍲Rich in dietary fiber which supports gut health 💩, blood sugar management & lowering cholesterol

🍲 Rich in vitamins & minerals that boost your immune health, lower heart disease risk & support brain health 🧠

🍲Lean proteins to support your muscle health (& protect your gym gains 💪🏾) & manage cravings

Our 'authentic Caribbean diet and lifestyle' promotes longevity, quality of life and optimal wellness 🌱

Instead of the blanket "cultural foods are unhealthy" statements, consider whether:
✨ Your portions are appropriate
✨ Your cooking methods support your goals
✨ You're playing fiber, complex carbs & lean proteins at your meals

You don't need to eat "foreign foods" to achieve your wellness goals 🙌🏾

Started my Saturday morning on a high note with .tt 's Harvest Run 😍👌🏾

A top tier concept for the wellness community 👏🏾 I'm already looking forward to seeing how this event grows in the near future

I wasn't on the trail for this 5K but helped the runners rehydrate as they came back in 💦😀

What I particularly liked was the choice of vendors - not the usual bread 😅

I'm talking sada roti with pumpkin and mushrooms for breakfast 👀🙌🏾 & chlorophyll water from
secf came through clutch with the Caribbean kimchi and sauerkraut - you'll be hearing more from me 😍

I thoroughly enjoyed my mango sorbet from 🤌🏾🥭

Seeing family, friends and colleagues topped off my morning - great vibes all around ✨

PS: I'm collaborating with Nature's Nutrition for our upcoming ROOTED group coaching program - DM to learn more 🙌🏾🌱

If it's one thing my mummy left me with...is making roast bake on the tawa (platin) 😍

She was a BOSS at it, especially coconut bake 🥥

Growing up in our home, we'd eat HOT bake with butter & cheese or saltfish buljol 🤤🤌🏾

I've absolutely carried on making bake as a norm in my home, but with a few dietitian twists:

🥗 Adding salad or veggies to my plate to boost my fiber intake

🐟 Adding high-quality proteins for satiety (fullness)

🫓 Managing my portions of bake

Three simple shifts, MAJOR nutritional benefits 👌🏾

✨This is an example of how I work WITH cultural foods and traditions to improve the quality of your meals, and by extension, the quality of your health & wellness
