  • Dark chocolate and pistachio bark for dessert! There are many ‘make your own chocolate’ recipes floating around and whilst it would have been a nice little challenge to make it from scratch, I was short on time and Lindt was on sale at the supermarket! 😜 I love having a couple of squares of good quality dark chocolate, but I took it to the next level with these crushed pistachios (I forgot how much I love pistachios!!!). Melt a block of 70-90% Lindt and pour onto a sheet pan lined with baking paper. Then sprinkle some crushed nuts of your choice and put in the fridge to set. Once set smash it into smaller pieces and enjoy! 😋 #chocolatebark #pistachio #darkchocolate #lindt #cacao #homemade #dessert #bodhiwellness #treatyourself
  • c r u c i f e r o u s Sure all veggies are great for us, but do you know which ones take the cake (bad analogy? 🤷🏻‍♀️) when it comes to helping our brain function, hormonal balance and detoxification? A special group of veggies known as the cruciferous or brassica family. These include: cauliflower, broccoli, kale, Brussels sprouts, bok choy and cabbage 🍃🥬🥦 Why do I love them and think you should too? They contain a special compound called indole 3 carbonyl (I3C) that specifically helps to remove unwanted oestrogen from the body. Helpful if you suffer from any hormone related conditions, endometriosis etc. Research has shown this magical group of vegetables is also beneficial in preventing cancer due to something called glucosinolates which protects your DNA from damage. Here’s the important bit, you need to be aiming for at least 1 serve of these (1/2 cup) daily if you want to get the “food as medicine” benefit. I’m about to roast up mine with some extra virgin olive oil, sea salt and serve with some salmon. Easy brain food right there people! #cruciferous #eatyourgreens #brainfood #geniusfoods #wholefood #nutritionist #foodasmedicine #naturopathy #functionalmedicine #bodhiwellness #brassica #hormonebalancing #detoxfoods #sulforaphane #indole3carbinol #antioxidants #phytonutrients
  • This weather calls for sweet potato chips. Who’s with me? I slice into strips and toss them in extra virgin olive oil, sea salt and sesame seeds. Then bake until brown. If you like a little more flavour, sprinkle some paprika too! #sweetpotato #chippies #baked #comfortfood #homemade #bodhiwellness #wholefood #wholesome #homemadechips #jerf
  • “It’s not always the foods fault!” This is something I find myself saying on repeat to my patients and feel you need to know it too. Often times we think certain foods are the culprit of our ongoing gut issues, fatigue, skin complaints and so on. In many cases, we then go on to avoid that food (let’s be honest it’s often more than one food) in the hope it will help. However all too often I see patients avoiding lonnngg lists of foods for months and months (sometimes even years! Eeek!) and still not getting resolution of their symptoms. In the meantime missing out on the huge array of health promoting nutrients they should be getting from those foods they’re avoiding. Not to mention the impact it has on their social life and ability to find a balanced relationship with food. Does this sound like you? What‘s the missing piece of the puzzle? The real issue that needs to be investigated and addressed, is the state of your digestion and overall gut health! 🧐 If the environment or terrain in which the food is to be broken down and digested is not healthy, happy and working the way it should, you’re going to start reacting to all sorts of otherwise non offensive, healthy foods. Of course there are certain situations like coeliac disease (gluten allergy not just a sensitivity) or lactose intolerance (lacking the enzyme which breaks down lactose) where the food really is causing the problem. However what I want you to remember is, before you eliminate more and more foods thinking this will solve your bloating, pain, diarrhoea etc, let’s take a deeper look at what’s going on in your gut! Do you have optimal levels of good protective bacteria that help you digest carbohydrates effectively? Is there any overgrowth of unwanted bacteria, a parasite or yeast infection? Are you producing adequate levels of digestive enzymes for you to properly break down the food? All of these questions can be answered through a simple stool test, and if I had my way, I’d have every single person who came through my door do it. It really is the best way to see the status of your microbiome and digestive health so we can identity what it is causing YOUR issues once and for all!
  • This snack is on high rotation at the moment! 🍎🥜 sliced apple with peanut butter and my seed/cacao/coconut mix. 3pm just hit and whilst for many of us this often signals ”chocolate o’clock”, it’s usually your body sending you a little message that your energy levels are flagging. I see this happen most commonly in patients when their lunch time meal is not put together appropriately to sustain energy and hunger levels into the afternoon. To combat this, it’s essential to make sure you’re getting adequate protein (think a palm size portion) and some form of healthy fats (olive oil, avocado, fish, nuts/seeds, nut butter, olives). If all else fails, this delicious snack is a great snack option to take you through till dinner! #healthysnack #appleandpeanutbutter #healthyfats #plantbasedprotien #wholefood #brainhealth #fxmed #naturopathy #bodhiwellness
