I was also feeling unfulfilled and my life was lacking the balance and stability I was craving. I knew I wanted more out of life and was meant for more. My deep desire to do something that aligned with my values and to pursue my dreams lead me to Australia to study Naturopathy.

This was the wake-up call that I needed!

So I wasn’t Super Woman after all, with the ability to push my body to its limits without any effect!!

It made me realise how little I actually knew about being truly healthy and the effects that my somewhat of a ‘rock-star’ lifestyle actually had on my body.

It’s not easy to make big changes in life, especially when it completely changes the direction you’ve been going and removes you from a life that provided lots of fun, ease, and incredible memories.

Mental health should be a focus everyday of every year. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Unfortunately the ‘systems’ don’t do enough to support mental health.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As individuals too, we focus more on our physical health, looking good & feeling good in our body’s.
But how do we look after our mental health? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Our minds are part of our body.
The modern medical system is only just starting to recognise this.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We cannot have physical health without mental or emotional health & vice versa.
They’re directly linked to each other.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Especially now with this global pandemic, mental health needs to be even more of a focus. Looking after our own mental health & that of those around us is essential.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’ve suffered 2nd hand A LOT due to mental health issues in my close family. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As a Naturopathic Nutritionist, people often think we help the physical body but not the mental body.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
That we focus on nutrition & exercise & treatments for physical health. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As a Naturopath & Lifestyle Coach, the mental & emotional health of my clients is just as important. I know their physical health will only improve if their mental & emotional health aren’t suffering. I address ALL of it. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Our body is one. It’s all parts combined.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What you eat & how you move also directly impacts your mental health.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A deficiency in nutrients can lead to anxiety, depression & other mental illnesses.
Toxicity in the body & heavy metals can also do the same.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Nutrition, Exercise & Healthy Lifestyle practices such as Yoga, breathwork & meditation are at the forefront of healing mental illness along with therapy.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As I’ve been talking about in my 7-Day Quit Sugar Challenge this week - SUGAR has a big role to play in stress hormone dis regulation, neurotransmitters & mood regulation. Consuming too much can lead to anxiety & depression. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Eat more of these to help boost your mood:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✔️ Omega 3’s (fatty fish, hemp seeds, chia, etc)
✔️ Cacao (RAW) ✔️ Fermented Foods
✔️ Bananas
✔️ Oats
✔️ Berries
✔️ Nuts + Seeds
✔️ Beans & Lentils
✔️ Coffee (1 cup/day)
✔️ Green Leafy Veggies

Do you rely on sugar + caffeine to get you through the day?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As soon as you feel tired, do you down sugar in any form to give you that instant gratification + energy boost?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Believe me, I know what that’s like. I’ve been there.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
After changing my diet, lifestyle + relationship with sugar, I now eat way less & try to always choose the healthier options. I’m much more sensitive to the effects of sugar these days which helps me to avoid it.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I get total sugar coma these days. I feel the brain fog immediately & my energy just dips.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This isn’t to say if you eat a lot of it & don’t notice the effects this isn’t happening to your body.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
IT IS!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It just means you might never experience the amazing consistent highs of natural energy & a super clear head.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Sugar clouds your head, fluctuates your blood sugar levels and messes with your energy levels in a massive way. FOR REAL!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you don’t think this is affecting your performance at work, in your business or your life, then I dare you to try and go cold turkey for 7 days, or longer 😉
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

I WAS A SUGAR ADDICT 🍭🍪🍡 🍫
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I ate sugar because I was:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
* bored
* sad
* happy
* tired
* to procrastinate
* lonely
* PMS'ing
* highly addicted!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Any of this resonating after months in lockdown?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
From childhood into my 20’s I was super addicted to sugar.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I inherited a sweet tooth from both my grandmothers and my mum. She was always baking and dessert was always a thing - even if just fruit.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I would eat almost anything and everything that was sweet. I loved it and because I was always thin and active I didn’t think it was a problem for me. I never thought twice about what it could be doing to my body on the inside. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Now I’m a recovered sugar addict after learning the hard way.😉
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Little did I know my over-consumption was leading to massive imbalances in my body.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
* Hormonal Imbalances
* Digestive Issues
* Inflammation
* Blood Sugar fluctuations
* Fluctuating energy levels
* Bad skin
* Less than optimal functioning liver
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Changing my diet + lifestyle in a massive way, bringing my body back to balance, and working on my emotional attachment to sugar, helped me change my relationship with that addictive little toxin once and for all. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’m not saying I never eat it. It’s just that I now have control over sugar instead of it controlling me!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It’s more of a once-in-a-while thing and I choose healthier options without feelings of guilt. Life’s too short to completely deny yourself some sweetness in life, but a massive switch has to happen to make the necessary long-lasting change and improve your relationship with sugar once and for all.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The way to better health & a strong immune system. 😜
