The October Line-Up

My goodness these months are flying by, I feel like I am writing a monthly line-up every second week! (which is impossible, I realise). This is what I’ve been doing and reading and enjoying thus far this month.

This book. I have been ranting about it a bit over on my instagram, but it’s truly game changing. For myself, those around me, and my clients.

Pate from Rough & Bare. Absolutely delicious, wildly nutrient-dense (organ meats are where it’s at), and fantastic if you’re prone to low iron. Broth Bar & Larder also do fantastic pate.

Looking forward to hosting this event with Brooke Schiller! There are only a couple of tickets left if you’d like to attend.

Omega-3 Supplementation Optimises Pregnancy Outcomes

During pre-natal care, it is essential to focus on increasing our intake of omega-3 fatty acids. Why? Because they are not made within the body, therefore we either need to eat an increased amount of omega-3 containing foods, or choose to supplement. In certain circumstances, I recommend both to my clients.

During pregnancy tissue stores tend to decline as they are used for the developing foetus so it is important we improve our levels well before trying to conceive.

What are omega 3 fatty acids?

The August Line-Up

I cannot get enough of this casual eatery. Happy to forego owning a Sydney mansion to have their pea & avocado citrus-y smash tri-weekly.

Dance classes here. I recommend the Sunday morning class with Alicia Quinn.

If you follow me on instagram, you’ll already know I’m obsessed with this tea. Hot, cold, tepid, iced, moderate, any which way works.

What Does A Naturopath Do?

I get asked this question more often than I get asked if I eat gluten (I do, fermented please), so I thought it was time to tackle it thoroughly and coherently!

What does a Naturopath do?

Looks at you holistically
Explains why what is happening to you is happening
Problem solves to find a solution that works for you
Treats the cause, as well as the symptoms
Educates & empowers you to make sustainable change

What I Really Think About Eating a Paleo Diet

The Paleo diet is based off eating in a similar style to the way we believe our paleolithic ancestors ate around 2.5 million years ago.

The premise is that due to the agricultural, industrial, and then food revolution, humans ceased their nomadic ways, stopped travelling and foraging for food, and decided to stay put and farm their own crops.

This drastic change in the way humans began to eat and live occurred in the last 10,000 years, which is a very small period of time compared to how long humans have been on this planet – eating in a very different way.
