  • 📢“Haloumi” - that usually gets people’s attention 😜 this pesto omelette with haloumi, mushrooms and spinach was so delicious I had to share it with you. When making an omelette I always use whole eggs, none of this egg white only nonsense. The egg yolks contain great levels of a sometimes forgotten but essential nutrient, choline. It’s important for all kinds of things such as optimizing detoxification pathways but I get most excited about the fact it’s FANTASTIC for brain health!
  • Do what makes YOU feel good! 🤗 In the health and nutrition world we hear a lot of advice on what we ‘should’ be doing, how we ‘should’ be eating, what we ‘should’ be drinking, etc. Of course there are some universal principles that we know would benefit all of us, however don’t forget to tune into how YOU feel and how YOU respond to certain foods and advice. It’s important not to lose touch with your own body and what ultimately works for you as an individual🙋🏻‍♀️ For example, I know that cold smoothies aren’t always ideal from an Ayurvedic or Traditional Chinese Medicine standpoint. And even as a Naturopath I encourage my patients with poor digestive function that warm, cooked foods are often better for a struggling digestive system than icy cold drinks, raw food, etc. HOWEVER, I personally feel great when I have my morning smoothie. It’s convenient, I can jam pack a whole heap of great ingredients in there and I feel energized (and most importantly full) from it. I always say, it’s about what works for your body, not every body! Be guided by the messages your body gives you because if you listen closely, it will always have something to say 😊 #listentoyourbody #naturopathy #nutrition #youdoyou #holistichealth #wellness #functionalmedicine #tunein #personalisedhealth #breakfastsmoothie #greensmoothie #feelgood #trustyourgut #gutbrainaxis #naturopath #bodhiwellness
  • It’s officially summer! Although in true Melbourne style, the sun didn’t get the memo 🌥 Breakfast did! 👉🏼 Papaya and Mango breakfast bowl has all the summery vibes going on but most importantly a great collection of different plant based foods to optimize our gut microbiome. We know the number one predictor of a healthy gut/microbiome is the diversity of beneficial bacteria living there. The idea is to eat as many different types of plant foods each week, aiming for approx 40! Who’s up for the challenge this week? 🙋🏻‍♀️ Write down all the different types of veggies, fruit, nuts, seeds, wholegrains and legumes you consume, and let’s see how much variety you can get. Why is this important you ask? 🤷🏻‍♀️ Other than it being a fun way to increase your phytonutrient (plant based nutrients) intake, it’s a great way to feed the good bugs in your gut that influence your mood, metabolism and immune system. #eatarainbow #plantproof40 #gutbrainconnection #microbiome #wholefood #diversity #plantbased #phytonutrients #naturopathy #functionalmedicine #nutrition #breakfastbowl #papayabowl #freshfruit #summerfruit #gutbrain #mindbody #fxmed
  • An oldie, but (such a seriously good) goodie! Cajun spice salmon with steam greens. It’s my favourite dinner go to when I can’t be bothered spending much time cooking, but also, when I’m just wanting some that tastes DELICIOUS! All you need to make this a 10/10, is good quality Cajun spice blend (make the effort and get from a spice store, health food store or market - I love @herbiesspices which I get from @theleafstore). Sprinkle the non skin side of salmon with approx 1 TBSP Cajun spice and fry in a heated pan with extra virgin olive oil. Depending on the thickness of the salmon will determine how long to cook for. However I usually cook for approx 7 mins each side. Serve with some steamed or sautéed greens and voila! Such a tasty (and clearly very easy) meal! Simple = better right!?
  • When we're stressed, overwhelmed or caught in the unwanted, loop of negative thoughts, it can keep us stuck in our heads and out of our body. This usually causes our sympathetic nervous system to be in overdrive and we get stuck in what's commonly known as 'fight or flight' mode. I like to call this the "frazzle zone" 😫 - nothing good comes out of the “frazzle zone”, we typically feel anxious, depressed and out of control. The “frazzle zone” affects our digestion, suppressing our ability to produce sufficient digestive enzymes and this can lead to diarrhoea or even constipation. Our memory is affected and our immune system sure takes a beating 🤯 What we need in these situations is to activate our parasympathetic nervous system or what I call "the zen zone"😊, our rest, digest, and repair mode. This is where our digestive systems work more optimally, our energy returns to normal, our experience of anxiety and overwhelm is far less and our body functions at its best 💪🏼. One of the best tools to switch from the "frazzle zone" to the "zen zone" is your B R E A T H 💨. Deep belly breaths (also known as diaphragmatic breathing) is the fastest and most effective way I know to do this. Whilst there are many variations that work, it's important that your exhale is longer than your inhale. I find the easiest practice is to inhale for 4 counts, hold for 2-3 counts then exhale for 6 counts. Repeat 3 times and do this as many times throughout the day as you need 🙌🏼 Use your breath as the bridge to take you from the "frazzle zone" to the "zen zone". It will help balance your nervous system, let you body know that you’re listening and you care and most importantly help you cope when things seem to be out of control! 💗
  • I’m not sure what to call this delicious little breakfast idea but I’ve been going with “Cheats Bircher Muesli” - the video is posted on stories (and saved to hightlights). It’s full of fibre, a little plant based protein, great way to increase the diversity of plant based foods you consume and of course tastes delicious!! Save this recipe or tag someone who may also enjoy it! 😁 1 Apple 1 TBSP almonds 1 TBSP oats 1 tsp sunflower 1 tsp pumpkin seeds 1 tsp goji berries 1/4 tsp cinnamon Natural yoghurt and berries to serve. Put all ingredients into a blender/food processor and pulse until chopped. Serve with a spoon of natural yoghurt or coconut yoghurt on top, with a sprinkle of cinnamon and some berries 👌🏼 #breakfastideas #healthybreakfast #birchermuesli #plantbased #plantpowered #wholefood #quickbreakfast #holisticnutrition #functionalmedicine #naturopathy #nutrition #bodhiwellness
