Become friends with your body before summer!

At the end of a day trip to Echuca, my husband stated that we should get ice cream because ‘that’s what everyone was doing’. To which I replied, ‘I love and honour my body too much to do that’, and was thinking in my head, ‘phew, thank god I just had the strength to state that out loud so now I really WON’T have that ice cream…woohoo’, as I knew I’d regret it later if I did! Now I confess, ice cream isn’t my favourite ever food, which made it a tad easier. But, how often do we find ourselves in this situation? And what would have been your answer?

What to do when you can’t poo

Ever felt completely stressed out, tense, and irritated, only to realise later that you just really needed to do a poo?

Being constipated affects not only our physical wellbeing, but our mood, too and it is a surprisingly common problem that is rarely talked about. But when you have long-term constipation, your gut (and probably your mood) is telling you that something needs to change.

The Mood and Food Connection

Do you feel like your moods, anxiety and stress are impacting your life? Anxiety, low mood and stress can make life feel like an uphill battle. These feelings can drain you of energy and motivation, making your day-to-day life harder to handle. When you are not balanced and grounded life’s challenges can seem impossible to overcome, leaving you feeling overwhelmed and defeated.

Anxiety and Food

Anxiety is becoming more common at the moment with so much uncertainty and fear surrounding us.

Dietary triggers for anxiety include nutritional deficiencies (B vitamins, magnesium, zinc and omega 3’s), low blood sugar, high caffeine, and high intake of sugary, processed foods.
