Your Omega-3 Challenge
Let’s take another step further and try something a little different this week. The idea is to bring in more variety of anti- inflammatory foods and get in a habit of using them. Remeber, we can not eat all the good foods in one day or even in one week so thats why rotating is important. I want you to try a new omega-3 rich food. Maybe there’s one on this list you haven’t eaten for ages, or perhaps one you’ve never tried at all. Omega-3 food list: Fish & seafood - Sardines - Salmon - Mackerel - Herring - Anchovies - Trout - Oysters - Mussels Plant foods - Chia seeds - Ground flaxseeds - Hemp seeds - Walnuts - Flaxseed oil - Seaweed Your challenge is simple: pick ONE and give it a go a few times this week. It could be sardines on cracker/salad, walnuts added to breakfast, chia seeds in your smoothie, or some ground flaxseed sprinkled over your meal. Then come back and tell me: What new omega-3 food did you try?

@Naturopathic coach Kelli they are an acquired taste 🤣. Yes, I agree they all compliment each other. Movement will be next on my list. More dancing, more stretching and walking at first. Then build as I go. I love practicing small steps, they feel so much more sustainable and less pressure. I still see and feel the results without burning myself out, which defeats the object in the first place.

@Naturopathic coach Kelli well I really enjoyed my sardines 🥰🤣
Need a Quick Meal Idea?
No recipe needed. Cook medium size sweet potato in oven or airfryer. Oven 30 min and 220 C, airfryer 25 min and 200 C. Once cooked, cut it in half and serve with some protein: - Poached eggs - Wild Salmon - Cooked mince - Any meat leftovers from last night - Mashed avocado with lots of nuts and seeds Sit down, relax and enjoy. This is suitable for breakfast, lunch or even dinner. Perfect when you run out of time,.have nothing in fridge but are still wanting to support your health. Any other ideas for toppings??

@Naturopathic coach Kelli oh I've not tried that, that's a new thing to try. I'm enjoying my healthy breakfast again. Having a nice breakfast and me time before I start work.

@Naturopathic coach Kelli ive just realised it looks like a smiley face 🤣
Breakfast check in!
Let’s do a quick check-in... First of all, are we actually eating breakfast? And secondly, are we making an effort to get some good protein in? I know this is such an important step for my own day. When I have a proper breakfast with enough protein, I notice such a difference in my energy. I work from home and I need to stay focused and productive, and I’m not sitting there thinking about snacks when lunchtime is still hours away. And I know how easy it is to start something well, keep it going for a few weeks, and then slowly start forgetting about it. It’s completely human. Life gets busy, routines change, and suddenly the good habits we were doing without thinking start slipping away. So if that’s you, take this as a little reminder rather than something to feel guilty about. You can simply start again tomorrow. It doesn’t have to be complicated - few eggs, adding protein powder, some healthy ham or even dinner leftovers. It really does shape your day. So, let’s check in: What did you have for breakfast today? Did you eat breakfast at all? And bonus question...where was the protein?

@Naturopathic coach Kelli hey, it went a bit out of the window over the school holidays. Funnily enough though I've intentionally bought my breakfast ingredients to restart tomorrow 🥳

@Naturopathic coach Kelli thank-you. This morning was a little crazy, although I got my little one to school ok. Due to a mess up by our GP I have spent the morning running around rectifying it. But I managed to have a healthy brunch instead.
Checking in with my progress
Just checking back in with a little update. We're now in the second week after half term, and things definitely feel a little calmer. This week has been far from perfect, but it has felt much more intentional. On Monday and Tuesday, I had one of the most satisfying breakfasts I've had in a long time. Wholemeal toast with a thin layer of cream cheese, smashed avocado, poached eggs, a sprinkle of Himalayan salt, black pepper, lemon juice and a few chilli flakes. It kept me full for hours and felt like a real act of self-care rather than just grabbing something quickly. This morning was a bit more rushed, so I adapted instead of giving up. I had natural Greek yoghurt mixed with vanilla protein powder, sliced banana, a drizzle of honey and some almond flakes. It wasn't the breakfast I'd originally planned, but it still felt nourishing and balanced. I've also been enjoying warm water with a pinch of Celtic salt, fresh lemon and a little honey. I find warm water much easier on my digestion than cold water, especially first thing in the morning. Supplement-wise, I'm currently taking: • Magnesium for energy and reducing aches and pains • Vitamin D with biotin after recently discovering I was severely vitamin D deficient and completing my loading dose • Folic acid with B12 and vitamin C, as my folate levels often sit on the lower side • Today I'm also starting red clover and white sage to see if it helps with the night sweats I've been experiencing One thing I'm really learning on this journey is that consistency doesn't have to mean perfection. Sometimes it's the ideal breakfast. Sometimes it's the adapted version. Both are still a win. Also, if anyone notices the Christmas trees on my glass in the photo... all of our non-Christmas glasses seem to have been smashed over the last year, so we're currently drinking from Christmas glasses all year round! 🎄😂 I'd love to hear how everyone else is getting on. What's one small thing that's been supporting your health or energy this week?

Little Boost For Your Liver
We are living in a world where we are exposed to processed food, synthetic chemicals in our skincare, cleaning products and plastics. Plus more daily stress than any previous generation has had to carry. All of this makes our livers work harder than ever just to keep up. When the liver is overloaded, you feel it everywhere. - Fatigue that sleep does not fix. - Skin that has lost its glow. - Hormones that feel chaotic. - Bloating after meals that should be fine. - Brain fog that follows you through the day. - Weight around the middle that will not shift. The good news is that small changes make a real difference. Here are three simple things you can do for your liver this week: 1. Warm lemon water first thing in the morning Before your coffee, before anything else. Warm water with half a lemon squeezed in. It stimulates bile flow, gently wakes the liver up and costs nothing. Try it for a week and notice how your digestion feels. 2. A small handful of rocket before your main meal Bitter greens are one of the simplest and most overlooked liver supporters. Most women have never connected them to their hormones. Dress with a little olive oil and lemon and let it do its quiet work. 3. Notice how you feel after a fatty meal After salmon, avocado, eggs or anything rich. If you feel nauseous, heavy or bloated afterwards, that is a bile flow signal worth paying attention to. Healthy fats should feel completely fine. If they do not, your liver is flagging something. While you are busy giving all this a go, I will keep polishing the liver health module so you can get your liver the best support possible, naturally.

@Naturopathic coach Kelli , I've been having salt water in a morning. I have a glass of warm water with a pinch of celtic salt, a squeeze of fresh lemon and a small amount of honey. Is that any good or would you suggest I do it differently?
