2023/03/28

In a society that expects mothers to immediately return to their pre-baby lives, a sleep-deprived co-sleeping, breastfeeding mother has to face some uncomfortable choices to make for her health, family and career. When I first became pregnant I had already decided I was going to co-sleep, exclusively breastfeed and be 100% responsive to our baby.

2023/01/18

Here's a confession. I'm a nutritionist and I'm often confused about nutrition. I spent 3 long year studying nutrition and how what we eat can make you feel good or make you feel bad. How certain foods can improve certain symptoms and how certain foods can make it worse. The truth is nutrition is confusing! In theory we know more about nutrition, health and wellbeing than ever before. Yet as a global entity we're also sicker than ever before! So if you're ever wondering why you can't stick to a

This week in the Christmas Quickies I'm discussing how to avoid the 'f**k it' attitude over Christmas. You know the one - 'ah it's Christmas, what the heck, I"ll pick back up in January' Except it never works does it? After 2 weeks in January of being on a diet that solely relies on willpower you discover a forgotten box of Roses and polish it off. (Please say it's not just me!)
