Have you ever wondered if you have an intolerance to healthy foods? 🍅 🍌 🍇 🍆 🥗 I’m sorry to say it, but yes - it is possible!

Common symptoms of Food Intolerances include digestive issues such as bloating, reflux, stomach pain, diarrhoea or constipation. They can also create pain in the way of headaches, migraines, joint pain, abdominal pain and other symptoms such as fatigue, low moods or anxiety.

If you would like to find out more about Food Intolerances and how different types of foods may be affecting you, 𝘿𝙤𝙬𝙣𝙡𝙤𝙖𝙙 𝙢𝙮 𝙁𝙍𝙀𝙀 𝙍𝙚𝙨𝙤𝙪𝙧𝙘𝙚 “𝟭𝟬 𝙀𝙨𝙨𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙖𝙡𝙨 𝙔𝙤𝙪 𝙎𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙡𝙙 𝙆𝙣𝙤𝙬 𝘼𝙗𝙤𝙪𝙩 𝙁𝙤𝙤𝙙 𝙄𝙣𝙩𝙤𝙡𝙚𝙧𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙚𝙨”

I am delighted to share some business updates with you! 😊
As part of my mission to educate, coach, and support my community on how to transform your health, naturally, I am making moves within my business to dedicate more time to doing just that.

While to date I have had separate business pages for my Naturopathic Clinic as well as my online offerings with New Me Naturally; from June I will be creating a single, consolidated online presence that represents the combined strengths and values of both brands, as they cohesively support one another. The decision to merge all that I do into one online hub is driven by my commitment to spending more time innovating and delivering exceptional value to my community and clients. By housing everything under one roof on socials, you will all have the opportunity to go to one place to tap into my expertise, resources, and online learning opportunities and memberships 🍃

My goal is to continue to show up online and use my knowledge and capabilities to create an engaging community. Particularly with those of you that are eager to find out more about how taking a holistic long-term approach to your health can truly benefit you and positively impact your everyday lives 💗

To keep up with me and all the exciting new updates to come including new online learning opportunities with New Me Naturally, be sure to now follow me at The Naturopathic Clinic via https://www.facebook.com/thenaturopathicclinic and over on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/the_naturopathic_clinic/

I would like to express my huge appreciation to my community and clients for all of your support over the years as my business has evolved. I look forward to continuing to educate and support you all as we navigate your journey to wellness, together.

Do you struggle to find delicious, healthy and easy treat ideas that are Gluten AND Dairy Free? 😋

Well today, I have you covered for the weekend!
𝘿𝙤𝙬𝙣𝙡𝙤𝙖𝙙 𝙢𝙮 𝙁𝙍𝙀𝙀 𝙈𝙖𝙘𝙖𝙧𝙤𝙤𝙣𝙨 𝙍𝙚𝙘𝙞𝙥𝙚 to try out if you are craving a healthy and delicious snack for you and the family!

Recipe can be found on my website https://www.newmenaturally.com/

You’re Welcome 😉

Did you know that our skin is our largest organ… so what we put on it, we absorb! 🤯

That’s why it is so important to wash new clothing items before you wear them!... 🧥 👚 👖 👕 Because there are so many chemicals that can be used in manufacturing new fabrics!

So, if you are not paying attention to the caution note on the label, let this be a reminder to you before you race to put your new outfit on – take the time to wash and dry your new clothes! Your body will thank you for it!

Are you suffering from any of these symptoms all year around? 😰 …These are all common symptoms of Food Intolerances!

Have you been putting off addressing these symptoms until your annual summer detox? 𝘿𝙤𝙣’𝙩 𝙬𝙖𝙞𝙩 𝙪𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙡 𝙎𝙥𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙤 𝘿𝙚𝙩𝙤𝙭 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙎𝙮𝙨𝙩𝙚𝙢!🙌 – we are constantly exposed to toxins so we should be regularly detoxing our bodies. We have a constant stream of toxins coming into our body, like chemicals from skincare and make up, pesticides on our food, chlorine and other chemicals in our water and other toxins in our environment like vehicle fumes.

One great way to support your detox organs is to eat a clean diet, without foods that overload your body. This gives your body a break and allows it to gently detoxify. If you are ready to reset your health today and learn how easy and enjoyable it really can be come and join my online Health Reset Program!
Let me support you to get your health back on track, all from the comfort of your own home!

I am so excited to have booked in a family trip to Sydney later in the year! 🌇

Because I have older children, I have realised that I may have dwindling opportunities to book in fun family holidays, so it has become so important to me to make the most of trips away together where I can get them before our boys leave home and well….have less time for their parents!

I would love to know what action you have taken to put a holiday in place to look forward to? 💬

I feel so good when I take the time to stand out in the sunshine. Sunshine really is my heaven 🌞

Getting our fill of sun has such a positive effect on our mood and overall wellbeing, so I am always trying to grab that last bit of sunshine before the colder months!

Who’s feeling a bit ripped off that we haven’t had as much sunshine as normal this summer? And what are you doing to actively chase down the rays at the moment? 🔆

To help describe the way that our Detoxification Organs operate, let me run you a bath and explain… 🛁

Think of your body like a bathtub… The clean water coming in is compared to the good stuff like filtered water, healthy foods, supplements, exercise, and detox tools such as saunas, coffee enemas and epsom salt baths.

But there is also dirty water coming into the bath which are things like poor diet, food intolerances and allergies, chemicals from skincare and make-up products, cleaning products and pesticides and heavy metals from our drinking water, plastics, and other chemicals.
And then we compare the bath drain to our detox organs (Liver, Bowels, Kidneys & Skin) – these detox organs support the dirty water clearing out! BUT if we have any blockages in the drain then this can lead to symptoms such as headaches, muscle aches, pain, fatigue, poor sleep, mood issues, increased weight, hormone imbalances and allergies…. To name a few!

It is SO important to be continually looking at how we are supporting our detox organs by detoxing our system on a regular basis! It’s not just a once-a-year job! 🚫
If you want to ensure your drain doesn’t get and stay clogged up, then make sure you are constantly filling your bath with all the clean water you can get your hands on! 🛀

Eat a healthy diet, stay hydrated, exercise regularly, get enough sleep. Be mindful about your product usage and do things for yourself that help to reduce stress 😅
I bet that if you are mindfully implementing more of the good things, the next time you hop in a bath, it will feel like the most relaxing soak you have ever had! 🫧

Our gut is the critical part of us that is responsible for much of our immune system function because of its unique anatomy and microbiology 🧬In our gut we have hundreds of species of bacteria, fungi and viruses and having the right types and number of these microbes has a big influence on how strong our immune system will be.

The gut plays a critical role in maintaining a physical barrier between the inside of the body and the outside world. The gut lining is made up of specialised cells that help to absorb nutrients and keep harmful microorganisms and toxins out. What many of us don’t realise, is that what we are eating, how we are eating and what medications we take for example can negatively impact our gut health, leaving our gut in a poor state and not able to provide us with good immunity when the bugs invade.

I speak to so many of my clients about giving their immune system a boost by supplementing with Vitamin D, C and Zinc especially heading into the colder months as it can be hard to get enough of these from even a healthy diet.

Have you ever noticed how much calmer you feel by simply stopping and taking a breath? 🌬

It’s very easy when we are busy or stressed to get into a state of over-breathing which can make us feel anxious and stressed. It’s so important to checkin regularly throughout your day and notice if this is happening, if it is then take a moment to reset your breathing which supports resetting your nervous system into a calmer state. Stop with me now and take three, slow, deep breaths – in and out - 😮‍💨

Want to take it a step further? Close your eyes while doing this and visualise settling into your happy place for a moment to help quieten your mind. I for example visualise myself lying in the sea. It’s so calming and I can feel my energy shift to feeling much calmer and my breathing slows down. When your breathing slows down your nervous system can reset now it knows you are safe.

Are you anything like me, and you find it easy to get stuck in the “to do list” mindset where you feel tension and stress that you need to get things done rather than just allowing your day to flow?💫

Sometimes when life is busy we are all a bit guilty of trying to control everything, making massive (and sometimes unreasonable) to do lists and putting hard pressures on ourselves to do all the things, and all at once. To me the doing means I am productive but then I lack time and energy to just be and enjoy the moment.

When I feel myself getting overwhelmed and stressed, I know that I am actually losing energy staying in that constant state of stress, thinking “I need to do this” all day long. I like to consciously check in and let go and trust that there will be enough time in my day to get the important things done. By making this mind shift I can cruise through my day in a much more pleasant and calm way.

If I ever need an extra example of how to shift into a calmer headspace, I know I just need to observe how my husband approaches things – he seems to have a very relaxed approach to life (although I couldn’t cope with the mess and lack of planning that comes with this approach)! I definitely need to take a leaf out of his book more often! 😆

Some of us are completely unaware of some of the toxins that we can bring into our home ourselves, that can actually make us feel unwell.
If you have freshly painted your house, laid new carpet, brought a new mattress, or even purchased new furniture that is made of MDF timber for example, these are all things that contain chemicals that can off gas and add toxins to the air that you breathe in and in turn affect your health🏥

𝙈𝙮 𝙏𝙞𝙥! - To reduce exposure to these toxins, you can take steps such as choosing furniture and homeware that are made with natural and non-toxic materials. If possible, allow new furniture to off-gas in a well-ventilated area before bringing it into your home, and use air purifiers to remove toxins from the air. Additionally, you can choose household cleaning products that are free from harmful chemicals and toxins, and a big one to remember is to regularly ventilate your home by opening windows and doors to help release the toxins from your living spaces and to allow the fresh air in.

Inflammation in your gut can affect your body’s ability to absorb nutrients – your minerals and vitamins that your body needs to function properly 🍃

Leaky gut can set off immune reactions and inflammation in your body and cause all sorts of health issues because 80% of our immune system lives in our gut!
To have good gut health we want to be eating the right foods for our body 🥬 🥦🍅

Depression can be a very complex condition to treat or sometimes it’s easy. One of the things that I have made a link with is how eating the wrong foods can cause or contribute to depression. This happens as the body becomes inflamed from the reaction to the food 😰

From my experience, I have seen how the effects of stress and inflammation can contribute to something called the ‘Tryptophan Steal’. Tryptophan is an amino acid we get from the protein we eat. We need tryptophan to make our serotonin which is the neurotransmitter that makes us happy. When we are stressed or inflamed, our tryptophan can be “stolen” and sent down another pathway. We then don’t have enough to produce adequate serotonin leaving us feeling depressed, anxious and having trouble sleeping.

I would love to know if you have ever heard of Tryptophan Steal and if this concept might resonate with you in some way?

Sometimes a weekend away with friends just gets the better of you – am I right? 😅

And after spending a lovely weekend away with my friends last month, I was out of routine and giving in to eating things I normally wouldn’t … I knew the consequences of my actions, but when in Rome… I just did it anyway!

Not everyone is like me and makes the connection between how eating the wrong foods can affect the way they feel 🤷

When I got home from being away and after eating a few too many sweets and chocolates, I was hoping like anything that my mood didn’t drop or my arthritic pain didn’t kick in! 😣

If you experience headaches, fatigue, joint pain, digestive issues, sleep problems, or other health issues then you may have Food Intolerances.😲

Did you know that there are two different types of fibre that are just as important as one another to give your body what it needs?
Dietary fibre is a component of carbohydrates that we get from foods that the human body can’t digest, yet it serves a number of important roles in the body. A lack of fibre in your diet can contribute to many chronic diseases including heart disease, diabetes and cancers.

1. Soluble Fibre – This helps to feed the good bacteria in our gut. Our gut health is super important to many functions in our body, including to help us sleep well, have good hormone balance, brain and immune function. Foods that contain soluble fibre are things like oats, avocado, flaxseed, berries, legumes, and psyllium husks.
2. Insoluble Fibre – This is the fibre that works like a broom and moves things through our digestive system and is good for bowel health. Foods that contain insoluble fibre are things like nuts, seeds, oat bran, green beans, cauliflower, potatoes and whole grains.

So, do you think that you are getting enough of both types of fibre in your diet right now? Find out more about this and other helpful health tips on my Blog ➡️ https://www.newmenaturally.com/blog

When we live in a world where technology is all around us, it is so incredibly important to make sure that you have some time out where you are not over-stimulating your brain 🧠

Downtime or a ‘brain-break’ looks different to so many people, but if you’re anything like me, having time and space in the quiet, away from technology, just listening to yourself and your thoughts is crucial🧘

As someone who identifies as being an Empath, I pour so much into others because of the way that I am and what I do for a job, that if I don’t recharge my personal stores, I notice I really suffer 😓

Do you resonate with being an Empath? And do you find that time out by yourself in the quiet to balance your energy helps you to function better?💫

I simply love getting away into nature with friends! 🍃 🚣

Me and my husband had a fabulous weekend away kayaking in Raglan with friends last month and we were pretty lucky with the weather

We signed up for a guided group kayaking tour, and it really was an incredible experience. It’s as if the weather held out just for us! Where the best part was making our way into a sheltered cave just before a heavy rain shower. It was kind of beautiful and relaxing watching the rain fall from the shelter of the cave.
I have to admit though, sharing a kayak with my husband sure was a relationship-testing exercise!

But all in all, a thoroughly awesome experience that filled my cup right on up!
Friendships are so important for our health!🫂

Or similarly if you are in the habit of having a few too many coffees throughout the day? ☕️

I hate to break it to you, but if you excessively consume coffee and sugar on a regular basis, it can lead to flushing out of magnesium from your body! 😲

Magnesium is a vital mineral that plays many essential roles in the human body, including blood pressure regulation, sleep, muscle contractions, blood sugar regulation and energy production.
Our body constantly uses magnesium to carry out these functions!
That’s why it is important to maintain adequate magnesium levels in the body by eating a balanced diet rich in high magnesium foods like leafy greens, cocoa, nuts and seed alongside managing stress, and avoiding excessive sugar and caffeine consumption. Magnesium is already a common mineral deficiency without flushing out what you have!

Check in with yourself today to see what habits you might be able to shift in order to better protect your precious magnesium stores!
