I have the fondest memories making jelly with my mum. All the bright colourful packets and the anticipation for it to set used to kill me. However those instant packets were loaded with sugar (or artificial sweeteners) food colouring and additives...

If there is one thing that 2019 taught me it was this… Your happiness is your responsibility. It was a weird year last year. I had plenty of ups and downs but ultimately I realised that my happiness was MY responsibility. I had to stop relying on other people to find joy, laughter and fulfillment. I basically dove in deep to learn the things that I truly loved, things that made me happy. I spent A LOT of time alone and a lot of time quietly blaming other people for not being available to give me something to do. My partner had expressed...
An omelette is a very filling breakfast and its relatively quick to make. If im in a rush I go for an omelette because it can cook while I'm doing my hair or makeup in the mornings, so it’s kind of time saving. Plus they are a great way to add some extra veggies to your day. I usually try and add 3 vegetables to bulk my fiber, nutrition and flavour. The more veggies the better because most of us don’t eat enough veggies throughout the day, so anyway I can sneak veg into a meal is a win. Omelettes are...
Your diet is an easy place to start to better your health because done correctly you can see results pretty quickly. Most weight loss programs or fitness goals its takes weeks and lots of hard work to achieve results, not to mention they can’t be achieved without addressing your diet. Same goes for your overall health. If health is important to you, you must adopt some healthy eating habits that last longer than 6-8 weeks. Its easy to want to be healthy but you need to think about what it means or feels like to be healthy. Think clear skin,...
https://youtu.be/3glnyE6kCjg Who doesn't like ice cream????? Traditional dairy ice cream is a no-no for me. When I think of cream and milk it just makes me break out. My gut just really doesn't like dairy. While I have had some genetic testing I can digest lactose i just does do well with casein and I break out like crazy so I just steer clear of the stuff apart from the occasional cheese, because who doesn't like cheese (am-i-right ?)...
Cooking healthy does not need to be time consuming...
“Health starts from within” Dialing in on your gut health could be the answer to freeing you from your skin issues. Most people have heard this saying… but (speaking from experience) it’s hard to believe when you are suffering from a debilitating skin condition. Skin issues can take a huge blow to your self esteem (especially acne on the face). It’s especially hard when you are trying your absolute best to “eat healthy” without seeing results because skin health can take some time to heal. It is a weird connection to wrap your head around BUT your microbiome and your gut health is...
You know when you are having a bad day… maybe you are having a fat day or a day you are suffering from brain fog, feeling a little down or in a “mood” you just can’t shake? In my opinion these are the worst symptoms because they are the ones that make us suffer in silence and I don’t use the word “suffer” to create drama. I seriously mean it, because it can feel like suffering. These silent symptoms can drive you to feel crazy and really lonely. Most people really have trouble admitting they are having these silent symptoms, they push through or...
Consuming fiber is one thing your Dr will harp on about… because yeah it’s important, but like everything there is always a flip side. Especially when dealing with digestive issues and gut health/healing fiber can be a huge no-no!! So let’s clear up a few misconceptions about fiber because sometimes the worst thing you can do for healing your gut, depending on where about you are in your health journey.. Healing your gut is definitely going to force you to surrender to your body. Take a step back and really (and I mean REALLY) listen and take note of what’s...

Leaky gut this, leaky gut that? What the hell does it all mean and should you even care? This term is being thrown around left right and centre, in vogue articles, in cosmo articles, woman’s health, newspaper articles, facebook, TV...
I don’t know about you but here in the southern hemisphere it's getting cold and I'm craving bone broth and soul warming soups. I never used to be a broth junkie, until I saw the results. I used it to heal my gut and help to balance my hormones after coming off the pill. When I first made bone broth it was a real trial and error on how I could use it in my life...
There are many reasons a healthy diet has some good side effects, such as losing weight (yah), craving less sugar (yah) and having more energy (always a good thing) which is awesome. Everyone at some point in their life has raved on about specific diets being the be-all and end-all, if it works for them and for good reason… everyone have a right to feel healthy and feel full of energy. Healthy eating and diets all have something in common, they usually severely reduce the amount of sugar and processed foods. Which of course is a good decision for welcoming...
Just because probiotics are in pill for we treat them like drugs...
I love a good magic show… I’m always in awe when I see Dynamo or Criss Angel or even an entertainer at a wedding, but a part of me knows it’s all an illusion. I also can’t help but look at the body and have that same feeling of awe… like it is magic. All of these important processes are happening inside us every second without us knowing, we are the ones being entertained. Your microbiome is the magician and influences the majority of your health. Learning what influence your microbiome has over your health is like unlocking the magician’s secrets....
