In usual Monday fashion, I was telling my friend at work that I was tired, despite going to bed early. That was when she asked if I’d heard of the 7 types of rest. And so began my research. I listened to Saundra Dalton-Smith’s Ted Talk on why we’re often tired when we’ve slept more. […]

Breakfast, as you may know, is a time that I rarely forget. Since moving into a share house, new routines have called for new breakfast ideas. If I had to choose, I’m definitely a sweet over savoury girl when it comes to this meal. Because breakfast is so important for our hormonal health, I make […]

When I first started learning about my cycle, it was hard to remember all of the different types of hormones and what fluids came out of my body at what times. Your cycle is so intricate – your hormones fluctuate, along with your mood, energy levels, and required food intake. I’ve been tracking my cycle […]

After barely seeing the sun for about 9 months, the start of spring in the southern hemisphere is warming my soul. Okay, slightly dramatic, but the change of seasons I experienced after moving from Europe to Australia in June meant far less warmer weather than what I would’ve liked. I am, after all, a resident […]

A few years ago, when I was first learning about hormone imbalances and diet, I came across pro-metabolic eating. This way of eating is centred around foods and practices that aid in a healthy metabolism – eating within 30 – 60 minutes of waking up, consuming easy to digest foods, and eating enough to fuel […]

Whenever you think of an addicting feeling, I’m guessing the gym doesn’t come to mind. I hope to change that. I’ve been weight training (on and off) for about six years. More recently, when I have started to train consistently, I’ve noticed that I am now addicted. Addicted to the four physical and mental benefits […]

Even before I moved to England, I loved tea. It’s probably because my family loves tea, so I grew up with it. Just like the allure of bookstores, I find myself always being pulled toward the tea aisle at a grocery store. All of the pretty packaging and the different herbal concoctions. In the past, […]

Getting pregnant isn’t the only thing that can stop your period. For the last few years, I have been conscious about monitoring my menstrual cycle. I came off the pill in 2020 and have been period tracking ever since. In that time, I’ve noticed that whenever I’ve moved around (moving to Melbourne and now travelling […]

I used to think everyone was as obsessed with chocolate as I was. Cake, brownies, Smarties milk chocolate bars, my goodness. But sadly, people’s cravings are all different. My mum, while pregnant, used to stick her finger into the cornflour and lick it. The types of cravings pregnant women get are next level. But what […]

A few years ago, when I was studying Kinesiology in Melbourne, my teacher told the class that we should all try intermittent fasting. Like with most things people tell me, I followed his advice blindly. That was until my friend came in one day and shared with the women of the class that fasting may […]
