As a naturopath and nutritionist I see juicing as a quick and delicious way to add a variety of colourful and purposeful plant nutrients + antioxidants to your diet. We can't eat everything in one day or in one week so juicing can provide a concentrated dose of nutrient top up and serve a very specific purpose. So, in other words, I don't look at juicing as just a yummy drink, but as a clever way to support our health with carefully selected ingredients and specific benefits in mind. Why I like juicing: - Increases nutrient intake: A convenient way to obtain a variety of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and other beneficial plant compounds in a concentrated form. - Expands our food variety: Often we would use different fruits, vegetables, garden herbs and superfoods that we don't eat that often, such as pomegranate, parsley and leafy greens. - Supports specific health goals: Clever combinations provide nutritional support for immune function, cardiovascular health detoxes, fluid retention, constipation and antioxidant protection and so much more. - Less fibre, quicker nutrient availability: Removing most of the fibre can allow nutrients to be absorbed better. I've organised the collection by their potential benefits, including detox and cleansing, immune support, inflammation, cardiovascular health and antioxidant support etc. You'll also find the benefits of individual ingredients outlined in each recipe. You don't need to juice every day, but if you're working towards a particular health goal, these recipes give you plenty of options to support your body through live and potent nutrition. Have fun exploring, experimenting and discovering some new favourites! The weather is warming up and I can feel how juicing is calling me :) Have you got your favourites?

Can I remind you, that beetroot is very good for your heart. Why? Beetroot is naturally rich in nitrates, which your body converts into nitric oxide. This helps relax and widen your blood vessels, supporting healthy blood flow and blood pressure. Beetroot also provides antioxidants called betalains, which give it that beautiful deep red colour. Your heart and the whole cardiovascular system loves antioxidants. I know plenty of people who rarely eat beetroot, so here's my suggestion: give it another go! - Try it boiled, steamed or baked until tender. - Grate some raw beetroot into your favourite salad. - Roast it with olive oil, garlic and herbs for a delicious side dish. - Juice it For my Premium members: CLICK HERE to watch the full video about the beetroot - benefits, how to eat it and some tips CLICK HERE to print out a PDF about how beetroots support your health CLICK HERE to get inspired by some recipes, simple and yummy as always

Too many women find out about their bones the hard way. A fall, a stress fracture, a bone scan result that gives them the first scare. Then comes the diagnosis, a quick mention of calcium and weights, and off you go. I see what happens next all the time. Women walk out confused, a bit dismissed and quietly lost, with a gut feeling that there must be more to it. There is. That’s why I created the Bone Health module in Thrive Again. You deserve real support, the big picture and a plan before the alarm goes off, not after. This module is for you if: - You’re in perimenopause or menopause and your hormones are shifting (oestrogen plays a big part in keeping bones strong) - You’ve been told you have osteopenia or osteoporosis or it runs in the family - You’re coeliac, or have digestive issues that get in the way of absorbing bone-building nutrients - You take medications that can reduce absorption or pull calcium from your bones - You have no diagnosis at all and simply want to be proactive Inside the module: - Quick cheat sheet to make it super simple - Overview on ALL the nutrients you bones need, not just calcium - recipes to inspire you - My personal take on dairy, why I am not a fan and what to do about it - recipes to inspire you - How your body can absorb nutrients better - What makes the calcium to leach out of your body - inflammation , stress, medications - What test you can ask your doctor - What I think about supplements How to access it: Premium members: CLICK HERE to access Not premium yet, you have 2 options: 1) Get the Bone Health module as one-off purchase (USD 32/47 AUD) or 2) Upgrade to Premium (USD 32/47 AUD) a month, which includes Bone Health module plus Liver Health module, the Full Recipe Vault, the Video Vault and Sugar Reset and more Cancel any time, no lock in, no funny business :) CLICK HERE

You know those times when life gets a bit too busy, there's too much going on, and you can feel your energy starting to drop? Maybe you're feeling unusually tired, getting that first little tickle in your throat, or just not feeling quite yourself. That's when I love to have a cup of tulsi tea, also known as holy basil. Why I love this beautiful herb: • Helps you cope with stress: Tulsi is traditionally used to help the body cope with stress, especially when you've been juggling too many things at once. It makes us feel more resilient. • Supports your body's natural defences: Traditionally used to ease coughs, colds, and bronchitis, and to support immune function. • May help support mood and mental wellbeing: When you're feeling overwhelmed, anxious, can't sleep very well. •Anti-Inflammatory: Just another bonus And the flavour? Depending on the variety, you might notice: - Clove-like and spicy notes, a little like basil with a warm twist. - A subtle sweetness, sometimes with hints of liquorice. - A fresh, slightly peppery taste, especially in Krishna tulsi. - A gentle, mellow flavour that makes it lovely to sip warm on its own. Here are some of my favourite brands: Organic India Planet Organic PS. Tulsi is such an easy herb to blend in with some other herbs like green tea, jasmine, rose, turmeric, ginger etc etc. Your imagination is the limit :) Have you tried tulsi tea before? I'd love to hear!

Last week I asked my email subscribers if they wanted my 3-week blood sugar method. Thank you for all the replies. But something has been nagging at me since, and I wanted to take a wider look before I plan what comes next. Here’s why. I work in a health shop and I do consultations, and every week I hear the same conversation. Someone has a new diagnosis. Fatty liver. Prediabetes. Osteoporosis. High inflammation markers. They’re holding a piece of paper or a blood test result, and they say something like, “The doctor told me to drink less alcohol, and I barely drink.” Or “I’ve been told to take calcium and do some weights, and that was that.” Or “They’re just going to keep an eye on it.” They often look confused and hesitant, and then they ask me, “Is that it? Is there anything else I can be doing?” There is. A lot, actually. What I see is a growing frustration with health advice that stops at reading out the diagnosis or saying “keep an eye on it.” People sense something is missing. They have a feeling they could be doing more, they just haven’t been shown what. And they don’t want to wait until a “bit high” becomes a big medical scare, another tablet on the list, or worse, a chronic condition they’re managing for the next thirty years. I don’t want you to get to that point and think, I wish I’d done something about it sooner. I’d much rather we work out what your body needs, together, and get started now, while there’s plenty of room to move. So I’m stepping in with my naturopathic approach, 16 years of experience, and I’d like to build it around what matters most to you. So let me know what you need and vote below, click on the button.
