What gets you out of bed each day? ๐ค๐
It could be anything. Maybe it's your family, work, your dog, gardening etc.๐
For me it is primarily to promote health and wellbeing! ๐ช๐ฅ
I have always been passionate about improving lives through evidence-based nutrition.
Supporting people living with cancer as a hospital dietitian made me realize just how rewarding it is to help people get through their treatment and improve their quality of life. ๐
With nutrition and wellbeing being the focus, my philosophy ultimately centres around the 3Ms, i.e., Mindset Menu and Movement! ๐๐ฅ๐
Now, I am recognized internationally as an expert in nutrition. I have received several research and teaching awards and been invited as an international research fellow to the USA, Canada, Netherlands, New Zealand and Hong Kong. ๐
To reference Miralles and Garciaโs enlightening book, โIkigai: The Japanese Secret to a Long and Happy Lifeโ, the journey to finding your purpose can pay dividends 10 times over to reaching a happy and healthier lifestyle and outlook on life. ๐ฑ
All this to ultimately say: it starts with you.
So, start today! ๐ค๐

๐ Embracing the journey, one step at a time! "The progress is in the process."
As leaders and busy professionals, we often find ourselves immersed in the hustle, striving for success. It's essential to remember that success is not just a destination; it's woven into the fabric of our daily efforts.
Each task completed, and every challenge overcome, contribute to our ongoing progress. So, let's celebrate the small victories, for they are the building blocks of our success story.
What are your thoughts when you do that intensive cardio workout you keep avoiding? ๐๏ธโโ๏ธ
Guess what?
We all know exercise is good for the body but did you know it's also good for the brain!! Exercise can improve memory, attention span, and problem-solving skills. It increases blood flow to the brain, promoting the growth of new neurons and enhancing brain function. It is one of the best things to help get over the mid-afternoon slump and brain fog!! It can also help protect again dementia.
Many of my clients (myself included) are not natural lovers of exercise. Thatโs why I talk about enjoyable movement. Thatโs an activity you enjoy doing and are more likely to adopt into your lifestyle e.g. walking, dancing, yoga, hula hooping!!
Enjoyable movement is something you should do most days. Seek out a qualified exercise professional to help you with more intense cardio, weights and exercise a few times a week.
What is your favourite type of workout?
Does working out feel like the meme below? ๐ฌ How do you fit exercise and enjoyable movement into your busy routine!!

Traditionally, medicinal mushrooms have been used to fight cancers, healing, and improve immunity ๐ท.
Scientific research has proven that mushrooms like shiitake, reishi and turkey tail are great to support the immune system and cool inflammation.

Your Body Reflects What You Feed It ๐๐ฅค
From sluggish energy to compromised immunity, our busy and stressful lives can understandably throw our health and wellness off.
However, poor nutrition can lead to a host of negative effects on your health and wellbeing. ๐๐
It's time to choose nourishment over neglect.
Here are a few examples of the sort of problems that can be caused by poor nutrition:
๐ฃ Hypertension: Hypertension, commonly known as high blood pressure, often remains undetected and thus untreated until the body is seriously damaged.
๐ฃ Cholesterol: Highly processed foods can lead to high cholesterol, which is the prime contributor to heart disease.
๐ฃ Diabetes: Type II diabetes can result from consuming a sugar and fat-rich diet.
๐ฃ Stroke: Stroke is caused by plaque that builds up in blood vessels and breaks free as a clot that travels to your brain and creates a blockage. The blockage can seriously damage the brain and impair functioning, sometimes leading to death.
๐ฃ Gout: can be caused by the buildup of uric acid. This results in the formation of crystals in your joints and causes permanent damage. Certain foods like too much alcohol, sugar, meat and seafood can aggravate gout.
It's clear that what we eat directly affects how we feel and function.
By making mindful, balanced choices in our diet, we can empower our bodies to thrive, ensuring a healthier and more vibrant life. ๐ฅ๐๐ช

โจ Eliminating carbs
โจ Avoiding fruit
โจ Cutting out dairy
โจ No planning โ eating on the run
โจ Searching for a quick fix
Being diagnosed with a fatty liver can be scary. Itโs even more confusing if you seek nutrition advice to help reduce a fatty liver. The good news is you donโt need to make the 5 common mistakes above. ๐
There is no need to eliminate carbs including fruit or dairy. In fact, high-fibre foods in calorie-controlled serving sizes in combination with increased movement, healthier food options and weight loss have been shown to help reduce a fatty liver. ๐
It's not a quick fix and I like to allow 4 to 6 months for optimal results. However, after years or even decades of not prioritising your health and well-being, I find that 6 months goes very quickly for most busy people particularly when we build in simple but effective lifestyle strategies that become sustainable habits over time.
A fatty liver didnโt develop overnight! Remember a fatty liver takes time to reverse and a sustainable approach with slow weight loss helps you maintain a healthy and well-functioning liver long term. ๐ ๐ฅ
Here's a game-changing mantra to end your week off:
Respond rather than react. ๐๐
In the relentless rhythm of professional life, embracing intentional responses over impulsive reactions transforms challenges into opportunities. ๐โจ
Imagine a scenario where instead of succumbing to the pressure and reacting impulsively, you take a moment to gather your thoughts. Responding with intentionality, you bring forth a strategic approach that not only addresses the immediate issue but also aligns with your long-term goals. ๐๐
Amidst the chaos, responding empowers you to navigate challenges with a clear mind and a steady hand. It's a conscious choice to embrace the ebb and flow of the professional tide, allowing you to surf the waves of change rather than being swept away by them. ๐ซ๐ฅ
Elevate your leadership, enhance decision-making, and cultivate resilience. Join the movement of strategic respondersโwhere success thrives amidst the chaos. ๐
โฏ๏ธ "Achieving Balance: Incorporating Movement into a Busy Professional's Lifestyle" โฏ๏ธ
Balancing a demanding professional life with a commitment to personal health and well-being can be a challenge.
However, incorporating enjoyable movement into your busy schedule is not only essential for maintaining your physical health but also for enhancing your mental clarity and productivity.
Here are some tips on how busy professionals can achieve this crucial balance. ๐ง โจ
โ
Prioritize Your Energy, Health and Wellbeing: Understand that your health is an investment, not an expense. Make it a priority, just like you do with your work commitments.
โ
Schedule It In: Treat movement as an important appointment in your calendar. Block out time for it just as you would for a meeting or a project deadline.
โ
Short but Effective Workouts: You don't need to spend hours in the gym. High-intensity interval training (HIIT) and quick, efficient workouts can deliver excellent results in a shorter amount of time.
โ
Combine Activities: Look for ways to combine movement with other activities. Walking meetings, cycling to work, or doing yoga stretches during breaks are creative ways to keep moving.
Nourishing your health journey: Steering clear of these foods when battling cancer for a mindful and supportive approach. ๐ซ๐๐ฅค
While no specific foods will cause or cure cancer, some foods have been associated with an increased risk. For this reason, you should consume nutritious meals. ๐๐ฅ
The following may increase the risk of cancer or worsen outcomes for those impacted by cancer, so avoid or limit:
โ Processed meat: Processed meat has been preserved by smoking, curing, salting, or chemical additives. According to research, processed meats may be carcinogenic due to specific chemicals found in these foods.
โ Alcohol: Many of us like a drink or two now and then. Medical professionals recommend that you limit your alcohol consumption or eliminate it if youโre able as it has been associated with cancers of the breast and head and neck.
โ Sugary Drinks: Sugary beverages, consumed regularly, may cause weight gain which can increase the risk of chronic diseases, including certain cancers.
Itโs important to keep an eye on what youโre eating and keep an eye on how you prepare your food. ๐
Try to eat more natural whole foods and avoid processed foods as much as possible. ๐๐
The Gut-Mind Connection: Nurturing Gut Health for Optimal Mental Well-being! ๐ฑ๐ญ
Did you know that your gut health and mental health are closely intertwined? Let us explore how nurturing your gut can positively impact your mental well-being.
Let's unlock the secrets to a healthier body and a happier mind! ๐
๐ธ Prioritize a Balanced Diet: Feed your gut and nourish your mind by consuming a diverse range of whole foods. Incorporate fibre-rich fruits, vegetables, and whole grains to promote a healthy gut microbiome. Include probiotic-rich foods like yogurt and kefir. Try fermented vegetables. A well-nourished gut is linked to improved mental health and overall well-being.
๐ธ Reduce Stress Levels: Chronic stress can negatively impact both gut health and mental well-being. Practice stress management techniques like meditation, deep breathing exercises, and regular physical activity to reduce stress levels. Prioritizing self-care, engaging in hobbies, and maintaining a healthy work-life balance can also help in maintaining a healthy gut-mind balance.
๐ธ Stay Hydrated: Drinking enough water is essential for optimal gut function and mental clarity. Aim to consume an adequate amount of water throughout the day to support digestion, nutrient absorption, and overall brain function. Proper hydration promotes a healthy gut environment and can positively impact your mood and cognitive abilities. Fluid requirements do vary but around 2L a day is a good guide.
Remember, a healthy gut contributes to a healthy mind. By implementing these three tips into your lifestyle, you can support your gut health and enhance your mental well-being for a happier, more balanced life.
๐ฑ Power Plate: Building a Balanced Diet to Boost Your Cancer Wellness ๐
In the journey towards cancer wellness, nutrition plays a pivotal role. As busy professionals, it's essential to harness the power of a balanced diet to fortify our bodies against the challenges of cancer and other chronic conditions.
Let's explore how adopting a 'Power Plate' can promote well-being and resilience. ๐ฅ๐ช
A Power Plate is not just a meal; it's a strategic combination of nutrient-rich foods that fuel your body and support its natural defences.
Think of it as assembling a team of superheroes on your plate, each with a unique role in promoting health and vitality. ๐ฆธโโ๏ธ๐ฆธโ
One Good tip to have a โPOWER PLATEโ!!! ๐
โจ Colours of Nature: Embrace the vibrant colours found in fruits and vegetables. Each colour represents a different set of nutrients and antioxidants. For instance, the deep greens of spinach and kale provide essential vitamins like A and K. At the same time, the bright oranges of carrots and sweet potatoes offer beta-carotene, a powerful antioxidant.
