One topic that I believe deserves more attention is our everyday exposure to wireless technology. Most of us spend hours each day surrounded by Wi-Fi, mobile phones, Bluetooth devices, smart watches and other wireless technology. While the science continues to evolve, I think it is important that we stay informed and understand what the current research is telling us. As women over 40, many of us are already dealing with hormonal changes, stress, sleep disturbances and nervous system overload. Some people also report feeling more sensitive to electromagnetic fields (EMFs), while children are generally considered to be more vulnerable because their bodies and brains are still developing. This is a topic I take seriously myself. I certainly don't live in fear of technology, but I do make simple choices to reduce my exposure where I can. I switch my mobile phone off as soon as I no longer need it, I never carry it against my body, I use old-school wired headphones instead of wireless ones, I turn our Wi-Fi off every night, and there are a few other small habits I've adopted over the years. There is always more to learn, though, and I'm looking forward to hearing the latest research and practical advice during this event. I'm sure I'll come away with a few new ideas that I haven't considered before. That is why I wanted to share this free online event with you. LIVE Online Event: Living Well in a Wireless World Ben Grant Mitchell will be joined by Lyn McLean, one of Australia's leading experts on electromagnetic fields and wireless radiation. Lyn has spent more than 30 years researching this topic and has written four books, along with thousands of educational articles and resources to help people make informed decisions about reducing unnecessary exposure. During the event they will discuss: • What electromagnetic fields (EMFs) are and where they come from • What current research says about wireless technology • The potential effects of Wi-Fi, 5G, smart devices and electric vehicles

Just a little healthy reminder for today. I know many of you enjoy these simple nudges because it's often the small things we do consistently that make the biggest difference over time. One of the habits I encourage almost every client to build is eating more extra virgin olive oil. If I could choose just one healthy fat for most people, extra virgin olive oil would be right at the top of the list. Aim for at least 1 tablespoon each day, although many studies showing health benefits use 2 to 4 tablespoons as part of a Mediterranean-style eating pattern. Here are some easy and anti-inflammatory ways to include more olive oil: • Drizzle generously over salads instead of bottled dressings. • Pour over steamed vegetables like broccoli, beans, asparagus or cauliflower. • Toss roasted vegetables with olive oil before cooking. • Add a drizzle over soups just before serving. • Make a simple dressing with olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard and fresh herbs. • Stir through cooked quinoa, brown rice or buckwheat. • Drizzle over baked sweet potato or pumpkin. • Blend into homemade pesto using herbs, garlic and nuts or seeds. • Add to hummus or bean dips. • Use as a dip for crunchy vegetable sticks. • Drizzle over grilled fish or chicken after cooking. • Massage into kale salads to soften the leaves. • Blend into homemade marinades. • Add to roasted chickpeas after cooking with herbs and spices. • Finish your avocado toast with a drizzle of olive oil and cracked pepper. Why do I recommend it so often? • Rich in heart-healthy monounsaturated fats. • Contains powerful polyphenols with antioxidant properties. • Helps reduce chronic, low-grade inflammation. • Supports healthy cholesterol by helping lower LDL oxidation. • May improve blood vessel function and healthy blood pressure. • Supports brain health as we age. • Helps protect cells from oxidative stress. • Can improve the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins such as A, D, E and K from your meals. • Helps keep meals satisfying, which can reduce unnecessary snacking.

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??

One of the things I love about being in Estonia at the moment is that sea buckthorn is everywhere. I've had it in a smoothie today and in a delicious dessert yesterday. It reminded me what an incredible little berry it is. Sea buckthorn is a small, bright orange berry with a vibrant colour that almost glows. It has a thick, juicy pulp and a tiny seed inside. The flavour is quite unique. It is intensely tangy, citrus-like and slightly tropical, with very little sweetness. Some people love it immediately, while others prefer it blended into smoothies, yoghurt or desserts. When I was a kid, my uncle used to give me sea buckthorn whenever I had a cold. Ohhh, woooooow... I have never, ever tasted anything so sour in my life! He mixed the pureed berries with some honey and water and I had to drink it. Today I like to reming that this is another very beneficial superfood, especially for women over 40: • Rich in vitamin C, helping support immune health and collagen production. • Packed with antioxidants that help protect our cells from oxidative stress. • Contains healthy omega fatty acids, including the rare omega-7, which may help support healthy skin and mucous membranes, including the eyes, mouth and dry vaginal tissues. • May help reduce inflammation and support cardiovascular health. • A nourishing whole food that provides a wide range of plant compounds. If you can't find fresh or frozen berries where you live, sea buckthorn is also available as frozen puree, juice, topical oil and capsules to take orally. While I always prefer whole foods when possible, a quality supplement can be a practical option. Have you ever tried sea buckthorn? If so, what did you think of its wonderfully tart flavour?

In this community we want to focus on how you can stack your healthy habits so they would stay with you and always the important aspect is that we need to create change without stress and overwhelm. So whether you are aiming to drink more water, eat better breakfasts, swap toru third coffee with the tea etc etc, all this is relevant to you. This explanation is resonating with me a lot and I find it very useful so I wanted to share what my great colleague @Ahmy Brock has written about it. I let the expert speak :) The Stages of Change Stage 1: Awareness - you cannot change what you are not aware of Stage 2: Reflection - now that you are aware, you can look back and identify the places you did the thing and envision how you can attempt to do it differently next time Stage 3: Right after the act - right after you do the thing, you notice it and high five yourself for catching it right after Stage 4: In the act - in the middle of doing the thing, you catch yourself and stop and implement the new thing you want to implement Stage 5: Right before - this is a sign that the new thing is taking hold.... you catch yourself right before you were going to do the old thing, you pause and do the new thing. Over time, the new thing just becomes the norm. I know it sounds like a lot of steps. It can happen much quicker than you think. With just a little practice - your brain and nervous system start flagging the information you are feeding it. We try to practice WITHOUT JUDGMENT but instead a high five. "Look at me go, catching the thing". So, keep practicing: awareness is power, reflection is hindsight (brings clarity), right after shows progress, in the act means you are almost there and right before means you have formed the new habit. Now it will become automatic over time. And in case all this sounds useful, here is her community ENJOY BEING HUMAN. Ahmy is a therapist with extensive practice and I just love how she always says the right words with lots of purpose so she makes me think and be aware much more.
