Is Your Thyroid Healthy?

Is Your Thyroid Healthy?

Thyroid health is something I deal with everyday, not just professionally as a Nutritionist but because I work hard to keep my own thyroid happy, since being diagnosed 11 years ago with Hashimoto’s, along with a pituitary adenoma – code for a benign tumor on the master hormone gland. Every cell in the body has receptor sites for thyroid hormone, which is why thyroid hormones influence the function of every cell in your body!  Their primary responsibility is to regulate your metabolic rate, which affects every system of the body.  So in a nutshell –  an unhappy thyroid can wreak havoc

Is the Paleo diet dangerous?

Is the Paleo diet dangerous?

I receive many emails from readers asking me what I think about the Paleo diet, and the short answer is ‘I concur’ on the majority of their principles anyway  – especially considering they are largely aligned with those in my eating program Eat Yourself Healthy . In fact I wrote this program over 11 yrs ago – long before I had even heard the word ‘Paleo’.  The main point of difference my program offers, is about how to heal your gut, so you can actually reap the nutritional benefits of your food. I also do not believe the Paleo diet should be

5 ways to ward off winter weight gain

5 ways to ward off winter weight gain

If you’re like me, winter sends a chill right to your core, making it my least favourite season which most definitely has something to do with having an underactive thyroid, and even though mine is largely under control now, it hasn’t changed the fact that I am the worlds greatest cold frog! But although winter’s not on our doorstep quite yet, the recent cold snap across most of Australia, has certainly provided a taste for what’s to come!   Winters also a time when many of our healthy eating habits adopted over summer,like eating lighter foods such as salads, smoothies

How to do a post Easter detox

How to do a post Easter detox

So I guess I don’t need to ask if you over indulged in a few too many chocolate Easter eggs, hot cross buns with lashings of honey and maybe even a few too many sherbets this Easter break……?  After all isn’t that what holidays are for!? But with the Anzac day holiday on Friday, many of us are taking an extended and well deserved break and that might translate to a little extra ‘over indulgence’.  So now’s a good time to make a plan for tackling that sugar monster that may have taken up residence in your brain, post Easter

Do You Fear Change…?

Do You Fear Change...?

I was chatting on the phone to a friend the other night, having one of those conversations that close friends do – sharing stories, listening and supporting one another through whatever it is we were going through, when something he said disturbed, or should I say triggered an emotion in me.   The conversation had turned towards a mutual friend and the emotional challenges they had been going through recently.  My friend commented that “making change is hard”, as the reason why our friend had been struggling to overcome his ‘demons’ so to speak and shift the direction of his

Grass Vs Grain Fed Meat…the healthier choice

Grass Vs Grain Fed Meat...the healthier choice

  You may recall a recent post I wrote on the health benefits of choosing organic chicken vs caged or free range chicken and eggs , but when it comes to red meat, it’s just as important to consider what your T-bone steak was fed, drenched in, and injected with, BEFORE throwing it on the barby! Australia is one of the largest producers and exporters of red meat and that means BIG business, but like so many corporate entities, meat producers can be guilty of cutting corners with our health, in the name of a dollar!  Australian cattle are either grass fed

How Excess Oestrogen Can Wreak Havoc On Your Health

How Excess Oestrogen Can Wreak Havoc On Your Health

  Imbalances in our sex hormones  – oestrogen and progesterone can wreak havoc on our health, causing everything from PMS  – premenstrual syndrome, hormonal acne, fatigue, weight gain, fibroids and conditions such as polycystic ovarian syndrome – just to name a few.  Like most things in life, the key to healthy hormones, lies in getting the balance right. The role of oestrogen in our health Our body needs oestrogen, but only in it’s natural form. In females, oestrogen plays an important role in the regulation of menstruation, maintaining pregnancy, as well the clotting potential of the blood, bone strength, blood

10 Signs You Could Have A Leaky Gut

10 Signs You Could Have A Leaky Gut

  If you have read my e-book Eat Yourself Healthy In 28 Days, you will know my approach is all about gut health!  WHAT’S THAT YOU SAY??  Well I’m talking about that organ that has the surface area equivalent in size to that of a tennis court and contains more good bacteria, than cells in your entire body by a ratio of around 10:1 –  that’s a mere 10 trillion!!  That may sound like a lot to get your head around, but it’s for this reason alone, that the function of your gut is key to your overall health. I

Butter vs margarine… still confused?

Butter vs margarine... still confused?

  It seems many of us are still falling victim to the clever marketing ploys adopted by manufacturers of margarine.  Claims that margarine is ‘good for your heart health’ and will ‘lower your cholesterol’, not to mention the latest Meadow lea advertisement using cute little kids to ‘guilt’ us into using margarine, or we’ll develop heart disease and die, is quite frankly totally misleading  and a load of rubbish!  I say rubbish, because that’s exactly what margarine is and I’m about to explain why.  To make matters worse, the fact margarine is endorsed by the heart foundation, sporting it’s little

Soy…NOT… "So Good"

Soy...NOT... "So Good"

  Soy has long been portrayed as a ‘health food’ when in fact nothing could be further from the truth!  The soy story sounds more like something out of a Hollywood movie….involving ‘money, power, lies and deception!’ Even big time celebrities and elite athletes have been brought onboard to help sell the soy story, as a health and even beauty food!  Yep…it seems when you have buckets of money behind you, you can make people believe anything!  And that’s just what the soy industry has done, for one simple reason… there is BIG bucks in soy, nothing more nothing less. The real story behind soy is this.  There are two types
