Is your current diet restrictive and causing you emotional and mental stress?

Gurrrrrl, let it go! 👋🏾

Trust me, it is NOT worth your time.

Listen…you don’t need to buy special or expensive foods, fancy exercise equipment, or a gym membership.

You don’t even need to give up your favourite foods (or carbs😜) or set up a tedious system of food rules or count calories and macros🙄.

Healthy habits don’t need to rule your life and every thought. And girl, you don’t need to hit a specific weight on the scale or get defined abs to be healthy.

👉🏾Your outer appearance does not necessarily define your internal health. [Please read that again and let it SINK in].

All You Need for HEALTH is:

✨🍃A sensible way to eat smart and be active, with approaches that are sustainable and adapted to your needs, preferences and lifestyle aka PERSONALISED.💫

What you eat, How much you eat, and How much you move profoundly affect your health. Of course other factors like your environment, relationships and mental health count.

But it is a FACT that healthy, balanced eating and active living are your BEST personal investments for a HEALTHY, FUlFILLED LIFE.

⚠️Ready to invest in your health with a FAD-FREE, SENSIBLE approach?

AND I’ll be so honoured to work with you 😄

Kids don’t need a special healthy diet.

Yes, you read that correctly.

If you have no medical condition that requires you to avoid or eliminate certain foods, but your family can’t eat the same ‘healthy’ diet that you do, I hate to break it to you, but you may be on another ‘restrictive’ diet.

A diet that’s healthy for you, should be healthy for the rest of your family. The only real variable should be portion sizes.

Everything else should be relatively similar.

Once you learn how to eat properly, you’ll know exactly what, why and how to feed your child/children and partner.

⚠️Do you eat the same diet as your family?

On my plate: a family friendly meal of plain rice, vegetable stew and baked fish.

Truth - My kids don’t always enjoy plain fish. Sometimes, I coat it in breadcrumbs before baking to keep them happy.

✨P.S. If you’re ready to learn how to feed you and your family a sustainable, healthy, balanced diet, click on the link in my bio to book a free 15-minute discovery call.

It’s my JOY to help you (and your family) eat and feel your BEST.

Happy Saturday 🤎

Did you know that excess vitamin A and selenium can cause hair loss?😯

Many hair growth supplements contain vitamin A and selenium. But, did you know that excess vitamin A and selenium can cause hair loss and even make it worse?

This is why I preach real food over supplements except you have a diagnosed deficiency or exceptional in circumstances like pregnancy, breastfeeding, malabsorption disorders or under the guidance/recommendation of a medical professional.

Besides, hair loss can occur for reasons beyond nutrient deficiencies - see previous post if you missed it.

And if your hair loss is due to a poor diet, supplementation may not necessarily fix it.

WHY?

👉🏾Because micronutrients (vitamins and minerals) are not the only nutrients that contribute to hair growth.

A healthy, balanced diet personalised to your age, gender, dietary preferences, intolerances, activity levels and unique needs is the best way to nourish your body, keep it well and {as a side effect} grow, long healthy hair.

⚠️Unless advised by a registered dietitian/nutritionist, avoid eating more than 1-2 Brazil nuts per day. One Brazil nut provides all the selenium you need daily.

FIVE REASONS WHY YOUR HAIR IS THINNING💇🏿‍♀️

Hair thinning as you age is normal. A healthy person loses on average 70-100 hairs per day. Losing more than this or noticing clumps of hair when you brush/comb your hair is a sign that something’s wrong.

Hair loss is very distressing.

It can occur for various reasons, including:
▪️Infections
▪️Emotional or physical stress/trauma,
▪️Thyroid disease
▪️Hormonal changes, and
▪️Nutrient deficiencies.

If you have severe hair loss, consult with a dermatologist to assess your scalp and potentially any underlying conditions. Working with a registered dietician/nutritionist in tandem is also important to correct any nutrient deficiencies, lower inflammation and balance your hormones.

Remember that the health of your hair reflects the foods you eat (and your haircare practices). A diet rich in essential nutrients will ensure beautiful, healthy hair.

⚠️On my plate: pesto pasta with edamame and king prawns. A rich source of nutrients that support healthy, hair growth including omega-3s.

DIET AND HAIR❣️ Can you tell I love my short

DIET AND HAIR❣️

Can you tell I love my short hair? 😁

Those of you who’ve followed me from the beginning know that I’ve always been into haircare. And now that I’ve cut my hair, my enthusiasm is back!

I shared on Instagram stories yesterday that I’ll be talking about all things diet and hair health this week

When talking about hair health, most people tend to focus on the hair alone and forget about the scalp.

The trouble is that you can’t have healthy hair without a healthy scalp. The first way to keep your scalp healthy is to supply your body with the nourishment it needs to feed your hair follicles. And you can achieve that by eating a wholefood-based diet that provides quality proteins, essential fats, key vitamins and minerals.

Some of the critical micronutrients for a healthy scalp include:
• - Iron
• - B-vitamins
• - Vitamin A
• - Omega-3

Supplements are unnecessary if you eat sufficient quantities of whole foods and don’t have a diagnosed deficiency or malabsorption disorders.

⚠️Do you take supplements for hair growth? If so, why so?

✨P.S. Tap the link in my bio for tailored (personalised) nutrition support to improve the nutrient density of your diet, balance your hormones, fight inflammation and improve your overall health.

ARE YOU MAKING THESE MISTAKES? Going on specific

ARE YOU MAKING THESE MISTAKES?

Going on specific GENERIC diets to reduce inflammation (e.g., arthritis, PCOS, fibroids, diabetes, fibromyalgia e.t.c).

Avoiding ALL nightshades because you have an inflammatory condition (see example list above). P.S. All conditions have an inflammatory component.

Starting a detox, vegetable fast, juice fast, water fast or fruit fast to ‘cleanse’ your body.

I hate to sound like a broken record, but all of these things are unnecessary and unsustainable.

All you need is to eat in a way that suits YOU and YOUR NEEDS.

Sure, you may need to reduce the quantities of certain foods, and you may need to increase the quantities of others.

You may even need to take supplements, but all of this depends on your current state of health, your triggers, preferences, intolerances and needs.

But cutting out food groups, restricting your diet to a handful of foods and supplements just because the Internet says so or because it has worked for another person is NOT necessarily the best approach.

If you’re ready to stop:

❌Using generic dietary advice that doesn’t work,
❌Unnecessarily cutting out food groups,
❌Jumping from one diet to the next and,
❌Searching the internet for unreliable diet advice

That keeps you STUCK in a diet rut
