AVANA Wellness & Nutrition

Want to know more about Personalised Nutrition? Contact me today to change your health tomorrow.

Research shows us that, typically, most diets don't work. Why? Because the main focus is on restricting what you eat.

Most weight loss approaches centre on dieting - the idea of limiting when and what we eat. In practice, it hardly ever works. And when it does work, it usually only lasts for a short period before we put the weight back on as we return to old habits.

A nutrition plan centred on restrictions may also deprive us of necessary nutrients, which may leave us feeling fatigued.

The truth is, creating long-term healthy eating habits is the most effective method to break this dieting cycle, and this is the major focus at Metabolic Balance. Book a discovery call with your nearest practitioner to learn more!

Definitely loving my juices! With a serve of cashews on the side for extra protein and fats. 🫑🥒🍏

This image doesn't do my G.E.M.M Red Juice justice. It was so vibrant and oh so tasty! Full of high potency phytochemicals and only 1 serve of fruit and a ginger kick it was just the "boost-juice" I needed today!

I don’t usually make juices because of the sugar rush but I balanced this Carrot and Capsicum juice by having some avocado on the side. Delicious!

How many can you relate to?

Imbalances in your hormones are triggered by bad food. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
If you eat sugar, you’ll produce more insulin, more estrogen, and more testosterone. Any type of flour and sugar can lead to these imbalances. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Dairy and gluten are often triggers for inflammation and hormonal imbalances. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Xenobiotics or environmental chemicals like pesticides in our food can act like powerful hormone disruptors and trigger our own hormones to go out of balance.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
We know that sugar, caffeine, alcohol, stress, and lack of exercise all contribute to worse PMS and all hormonal imbalances – including menopause.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
After removing the bad stuff, you will want to replace it with good stuff. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Eat a whole, real, unprocessed, organic, mostly plant-based diet with organic or sustainably raised animal products. When you focus on this type of diet, you minimize intake of xenoestrogens, hormones, and antibiotics. Taking simple steps like choosing organic food and drinking filtered water can hugely impact hormone balance.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Getting good quality sleep every night and exercising regularly can help balance your hormones. Along with supplementing with Omega-3, vitamin D3, B vitamins, magnesium, and probiotics.

If you’re ready to feel better than ever, give me a shout!

Healthy eating is NOT just about looking better! It's feeling better too!

Anxiety and depression, low energy and mood, pain and discomfort are all common symptoms of nutritional imbalance and they can take a huge toll on all areas of life and relationships.

When we're tired and stressed, not eating well or sleeping well, we can become snappy and impatient. This poor mental health then makes us feel unhappy and that all-important vital spark in relationships can simply be lost.

Relationships need regular nurturing and attention, and that can seem impossible when you're not feeling good within yourself!

With Metabolic Balance, we've helped many couples work side by side, using their own individual nutrition plans, supporting each other to keep on track.

Getting back into balance together is one of the best things for a relationship. When you're both feeling good, life takes on a whole new perspective. At Metabolic Balance we say you need to rebalance to reconnect!

Love this!

delicious lunch- Prawn & Avocado on Rye Sourdough with radicchio and cucumber salad.

With your MB personalised nutrition plan you get a list of the foods that are good for you, AND you still get to add any herbs and spices to jazz up a meal, that's why MB meals are far from bland.

I love this chermoula - great to add to chicken or cold meats for a bit of a flavour punch. I even spread it on my rye bread and top with goat's cheese and tomatoes. delish!

Is it a herb or spice or vegetable?

I'd be hard-pressed to eat it like my other veggies so I'm going to go with a herb and a spice!

Either way I know it's a potent "food as medicine" with undisputed anti-viral properties, powerful detoxification abilities and one of nature's dynamic antibiotics.

Plus it transforms pretty much any meal. I was going to say "any dish" but I'd struggle to have it with dessert!

For an immune boost or anti-candida strategy, try eating a few raw cloves daily - although it might ward off more than just the bugs!

Oh my gosh, how delicious does this look?! I can't take credit for the photo but if you'd like a chia seed recipe or 2, head over to my website www.avanawellness.com.au

Chia seeds are a lovely source of essential fatty acids, fibre, protein and microminerals - a real powerhouse of goodness.

I know this is often easier said than done. Just open up to the fact that there might be something bigger out there for you - and see what happens.

What's not to love about this superfood? It's a potent antioxidant, intestinal cleanser, source of fibre, antiviral and helps support detoxification.

It's never too late to start something new or to get back on track.

Gotta keep those toxins moving out of your body.

Aim for about 35ml per kilo of body weight which for the average person is going to be well over the usual 2 litres recommended.
