It can be easy to become stuck in a rut with weekly lunches – and I personally think there’s nothing worse than eating a boring, bland or soggy salad!

Once you learn how to incorporate satiating bases (rice, quinoa) with your favourite veggies and seeds/nuts for texture – it becomes so easy!I’ve put together 4 of my favourite salads to weave into ...

Whilst all bodies require nourishment, regular movement, stress management, sleep plus loving, supportive relationships – different bodies require different nutrients and lifestyle behaviours to thrive. I have always loved supporting the people around me to feel their best.  Research shows that men tend to carry more muscle mass and hold a higher metabolism than women(1). This means that they require more calories and fibre throughout the day, as well as higher amounts of essential vitamins and minerals compared with women for optimal health and hormone levels(2). Men also have gender-specific nutrient needs, such as promoting healthy testosterone and sperm levels(3).Over the years, ... Read more

I absolutely adore magnesium for its incredible ability to support relaxation and calmness in both body and mind. It’s truly my go-to mineral for promoting restful sleep and soothing muscle tension—a must for any wellness regime! Magnesium is vital for over 300 biochemical reactions in the body. It helps regulate muscle and nerve function, blood sugar levels, and blood pressure, as well as making protein, bone and DNA. Studies have shown that magnesium can significantly improve sleep quality, particularly in those with insomnia. It helps regulate neurotransmitters, which send signals throughout the nervous system and brain. It’s truly a master ... Read more
