The quality and quantity of protein is critical to our health, so you need to ensure you are choosing the right one. With so many options (and ingredients), it can feel overwhelming and very confusing. I am here to shed some light on the topic and help you select the option that is best for you.

As the temperature drops and the days become shorter, we find ourselves at the beginning of the winter season. And, with the season's arrival, it's more important than ever to strengthen our immune systems and protect ourselves from cold-related illnesses and ailments.

If you’d love to start embracing your natural hair texture and bring your curls back to life, I hope this blog gives you the nudge! 

Navigating all the non-tox, low-tox and safe cookware options on the market can feel overwhelming! Often products are marketed as safe but, in fact, can contribute to the toxic load in our bodies and cause health issues over time.

Water: It makes up 71% of our planet and up to 60% of our bodies. We all know that water is essential for our health and well-being. But what’s not widely known is that water needs to be filtered to ensure it doesn’t contain harmful pollutants — even when it’s coming out of a tap. 

Whether consumed in whole or via a supplement, beef liver is incredibly beneficial for your skin, hair and nails. Let me show you why!

I lay it all out for us, including research on the harmful effects of popular sunscreen brands, which brands to toss out of your beach bag, and healthier swaps to grab instead!

At the risk of sounding redundant to long-time followers, liver is the PERFECT food! It contains an unmatched amount of nutrition that is oh-so-good for you! Yet, despite being rich in nutrients, there are misconceptions about eating liver….

If you’re confused at whether or not nutritional yeast is actually good for you, I totally understand!

You’ll nearly always find a pot of broth on the go in my kitchen. It’s something I use everyday to braise vegetables, cook rice or other grains in to make it more gut friendly, add it to sauces, gravies, or use as the base of soups, stews and curries.

It’s my prime tool for optimum nutrition and is often the first thing I teach my clients about because I love all the amazing things it does for your body.⁣⁣

Our body is a fat machine! All our cells have fat, our brain is made up of 60% fat, and we carry fats in our bloodstream to make hormones, vitamin D, and other important communicators. Fat is also an important source of energy and fuel for our bodies. Fat is so very important for our health that you have to wonder why it has ever become a dirty word.

Up until recently, I didn’t know that most collagen supplements on the market come from Brazil (if the label doesn’t identify the source, it’s most likely coming from Brazil).

What if you could hack your white rice to decrease its glycemic index, increase its health benefits and make it more gut friendly + easier to digest?

Every week I seem to learn something new that infuriates me. For example; did you know that most vitamin B1 supplements are made from derivatives of coal tar? That you can actually extract iron from iron fortified foods with a magnet? That ascorbic acid (vitamin C) is made by reacting high fructose corn syrup with sulfuric acid?

Babies are born with enough iron stores to last through to six months of age. The low drop off in iron stores at six months has previously been the main reason for the recommendation to introduce an iron fortified baby rice cereal as one of baby’s foods because breast milk has very low amounts of iron.

By focusing on incorporating the following foods into your diet, they will help boost your immune system, re-balance candida and restore balance to your gut.

Parasites can range from tiny organisms, visible only by microscope to long tapeworms (several metres long). Because parasites come in many different shapes and sizes, they can cause a broad and diverse range of health symptoms. For example; some parasites can steal the nutrients in your food, leaving you hungry and tired after every meal, others feed off of your red blood cells, causing anemia.
