CLINICAL NUTRITION

We acknowledge the Turrbul and Jagera peoples as Traditional Custodians of this land, and pay respect to Elders past and present. We honour their deep and ongoing connection to land, food, and culture.

Mum told me that back in the ’70s, the height of sophistication was cheese and fruit skewers stuck into an orange.

An orange. Apparently it was considered the centrepiece.

No slate boards, no figs artfully fanned, no micro herbs for garnish, just a citrus holding it all together. And honestly? I kind of love it.

Because it’s such a perfect snapshot of that era, simple, a little kitsch and totally confident in its own charm. They didn’t overthink it. They just made it fun.

So here I am, decades later, in full 70s mode, making a platter that owes everything to the women who threw parties with fruit, cheese and toothpicks.

Because a pretty platter never goes out of style, and neither do you Mum ❤️

Not all chocolate tells the same story.
 Cocoa got processed and polished; cacao stayed closer to its roots, keeping its minerals, flavanols, and that quiet kind of energy you can actually feel.

The Cacao Calm Tonic and Cocao & Date Mini-Muffins are two of my favourite ways to show that comfort food can still be functional.
 Grounded in real chemistry that supports focus and calm, it helps your body find rhythm again.

✨ Not indulgence. It’s information that tastes good.

Fasting isn’t a new trend, it’s ancient biology with a modern identity crisis.

For most of human history, food came in waves. Feast. Famine. Rest.
 And our biology learned to dance with that rhythm.

When we fast (about the 10-12 hour mark, so not long) something shifts.
 Insulin drops.
 Mitochondria exhale.
 Your body stops storing and starts repairing.

It’s not about willpower or control.
 It’s about rhythm, the natural cycle your body still remembers.
 Eat with the light.
 Rest in the dark.
 Let your meals be information, not interruption.

Because fasting isn’t just the absence of food.
 It’s the presence of pattern. Between Fed and Fast.
 And that’s where repair begins.

“‘Activate’ - the word that launched a thousand eye rolls.
 And fair enough. It’s been stuck to everything from nuts to charcoal.

But here’s the thing, plants were doing it long before wellness trends made it weird.

When you chop, crush, or slice certain foods, you trigger their built-in defence systems.
 Enzymes meet precursors, chemistry wakes up, and powerful compounds form.

🥦 Broccoli → sulforaphane 🧄 Garlic → allicin 🍄 Mushrooms → vitamin D 🧅 Onions → quercetin

It’s not woo, it’s evolution.
 A pause long enough for plants to protect themselves, and, in doing so, teach our cells to do the same.

Call it patience.
 Call it science.
 Call it a NAP - Natural Activation Pause 😉
 It’s the missing step between chopping and cooking.

Turmeric Quinoa ‘Tabbouleh’

Quinoa is a bit of a shape-shifter, it soaks up whatever flavour you throw at it.
 Today? A quick golden salad: turmeric infused quinoa, baby spinach, currants, almonds, and spring onion. Oh, and optional roast pumpkin for some creaminess if you’re in the mood.
 Ten minutes of chopping, fifteen minutes of simmering, and you’ve got a bowl that’s light, nutty, a little sweet, and quietly powerful.

Ingredients (serves 2, easy to double)

* Quinoa – ½ cup, rinsed
* Ground turmeric – ½ tsp
* Sea salt – ¼ tsp
* Black pepper – a few grinds
* Water – 1 cup
* Optional: Butternut pumpkin (small cubes)
* Baby spinach – 1 cup, finely chopped
* Currants – 2 tbsp
* Slivered almonds – 2 tbsp
* Spring onion – 2, finely sliced
* Juice of ½ lemon

Directions

1. Optional roast pumpkin: Heat oven to 200 C. Chop pumpkin into small cubes, toss with pepper, salt and olive oil (option: add chopped rosemary). Spread on a baking tray and roast for 20 minutes, turning once.
2. Rinse the quinoa thoroughly under cold water.
3. Place quinoa, turmeric, salt, pepper, and water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce to low heat. Cover and simmer 15 minutes until water is absorbed. Remove from heat, cover, and let steam for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
4. While quinoa cooks, chop the spring onion and spinach.
5. In a large bowl, combine warm quinoa with spinach, currants, almonds, and spring onion.
6. Finish with lemon juice and a drizzle of olive oil. Toss gently and adjust seasoning.

💬 Serving Note
 Best served just warm, when the spinach wilts slightly into the grains. It makes a fresh side for grilled fish, tofu or chicken. Or my favourite, Harrisa toasted chickpeas 😋

Broccoli is “good for you”, but that’s like saying the ocean is “a bit wet.”

This tiny green tree is running an inside job, activating systems that keep your energy clearer, your repair stronger, and your body just a little more resilient.

What’s actually happening?
 When you chop or chew it, broccoli creates sulforaphane, an undercover compound that doesn’t even exist until you unlock it.

Once it’s made, sulforaphane slips into your cells and finds Nrf2, the master switch for your body’s clean-up crew.

Suddenly, over 200 protective genes flip on:
 ✨ Antioxidant enzymes to mop up stress sparks ✨ Detox pathways to take out the trash ✨ Inflammation signals dialed way down

So yeah, broccoli is good for you.

Not because it’s low-calorie or ‘clean,’ but because it acts like a biochemical electrician, rewiring your body’s clean-up crew.

If you’re curious for more, head to the link in my bio, tap the blog, and under Food & Function you’ll find: Broccoli and Its Overachieving Sprout.

Broccoli Stump Slaw

Most people chop the florets and toss the stump.
 But the stump is where the sweet crunch lives. 🥦✨

You don’t really need a recipe for this, just grate it with a food processor, add whatever hard veg is hanging around (carrot, radish, beet, apple if you’re feeling sweet).

Mix it with a punchy dressing, toss in some green leaves, and you’re done.

That’s broccoli at its thriftiest, and it’s tastiest.
 Slaw, sorted.

If you’d like the full recipe with my favourite add-ins, it’s up on the blog. Just tap the link in my bio 😊

💬 Would you eat your broccoli stumps if you knew they came with a side of gene support?

We’ve been taught to see food as fuel.
 Calories in, calories out.

But your body isn’t a machine.
 It doesn’t just burn. It listens.
 Every bite is a sentence your body reads, shaping mood, energy, focus, even how you age.

The problem? Processed food speaks in fragments. Static.
 Whole food speaks in full sentences, the kind your genes have been fluent in for thousands of years.

✨ Food isn’t just fuel. It’s feedback.
 The question is: what conversation are you starting today?

👉 I wrote a new blog on this very idea: What’s Missing Isn’t Calories - It’s Conversation.

Black Risotto with Zucchini & Pomegranate Salad

What does a Nutritionist bring home from Croatia?

Well, I came home with olive oil from Brač, a limestone pot of salt from Ston, and hand-embroidered placemats from - @souvenirs.bachan - the shop my mum told me I couldn’t miss.

Inside, Lena told me how she works a city job by day, embroiders in winter with her family and friends, and sells those linens in summer.

Generations of thread stitched into something lasting. How beautiful are they in the photo (though it doesn’t do them or the risotto justice!)

And of course, I carried home a cookbook. Inside was the recipe for Crni Rižot, Black Risotto.

But it called for gutting a cuttlefish and removing the ink sac.

Tradition, yes. My kitchen reality, no.

So here’s my version: squid from the fishmonger, a jar of squid ink, slow-cooked tomatoes, olive oil, and a bright zucchini + pomegranate salad on the side.

Dark, briny, deeply satisfying, balanced by sweet, fresh brightness.

It’s not strictly traditional. But it’s delicious, and it’s a way of keeping the Adriatic on my plate.

The trick to Dubrovnik?
 Don’t just visit the old town, hide inside it.

By midday the streets flood with cruise ship crowds, the heat radiates off stone, and you wonder how anyone survives it.

But slip into an upstairs apartment, behind thick medieval walls, and the city suddenly exhales.

Mornings are for walking the walls as soon as they open, before the sun scorches the stone.

Afternoons are for fjaka, that Croatian art of doing absolutely nothing, ideally with a plate of black risotto or a simple salad that tastes better than it has any right to.

Evenings? Gelato, alleys, music, and the glow of lanterns on polished steps.

Everywhere, the city carries its history openly, the churches, the monastery cloisters, the defence walls, even the map that still shows where bombs fell in the 1990s. It’s not hidden. It’s remembered.

Reading The Pillars of the Earth here felt almost uncanny. Follett’s cathedrals, Dubrovnik’s stone, both testaments to the stubborn human will to build, to endure, to tell stories in stone.

Dubrovnik isn’t just a backdrop. It’s a witness. Centuries of footsteps, struggles, celebrations, all still echoing in its walls.

Which way the wind blows? In Korčula, that’s the start of the story.

Here, the alleys aren’t just charming, they’re strategic.
 Built straight to pull in the cool summer Maestral, curved to block the fury from Bura, and brace for the Jugo (that emotional chaos in wind form).

Some cities are shaped for traffic. This one is shaped for air. You feel it breathing, like lungs of stone and sea.

From Brač, it’s easier to remember.

That nourishment doesn’t need to be complicated. That food can be part of the day, not the performance of it.

The way things are done on Brač isn’t magic or fantasy. It’s just a rhythm that hasn’t been fully overwritten yet. A pace that still reflects the land, the season, the work.

And maybe it’s not about going back. Maybe it’s just about remembering that life didn’t always move so fast. That there were meals shaped by weather, not algorithms. That the land had a role, and so did we.

Not perfectly. Not romantically. But with a kind of steadiness that’s easy to forget in the scroll and rush of everything else.

It’s not only about olive oil or traditions. It’s the reminder that simple isn’t lesser. And slower isn’t lost.

Sometimes we just need to glimpse it again to know we’re allowed.

Some places feel imagined, too perfect to be real, too precise to be accidental.

The Blue Cave on Biševo is one of those places.

You duck into it, head low, boat hushed, and suddenly you’re inside light. Not just seeing it. Inside it.

The walls shimmer with silver. The sea glows like it swallowed a sapphire whole. Everything is quiet, except the water, flickering with that impossible blue.

It feels like the cave is breathing, and you’ve stepped into the lungs.

Split in Croatia doesn’t preserve history. It wears it.

Roman emperor Diocletian built his palace here in the 4th century, a fortress of marble and might, designed for his final years.
 But the centuries didn’t just leave it intact, they left it inhabited.

Today, you sip espresso under ancient columns. The fishmonger works in the shadow of the emperor’s old wall. There’s gelato on nearly every corner, cold and sweet in the heat of the day.

This isn’t history frozen. It’s history fermented, alive, evolving, richer with time. The stones are chipped, the mortar is weathered.
 But the city still breathes, through its walls, through its people, through the smoke of lunch drifting from a courtyard kitchen.

💦 There’s something magical about finally finding that waterfall you’ve been chasing… my personal El Dorado. It’s even sweeter when friends know a secret path, because it’s not on any map💧🌞

A surreal day of wet rock climbing the cascade of waterfalls and swimming holes on my favourite mountain. One of those special places that feels like home and leaves you fully recharged.

So grateful for friends who lead you to hidden gems and for days that feel like little treasures. 🙏 This is where I’ll be for the rest of summer!

6. Remove clusters from the freezer and dip into the chocolate until fully coated, use a fork to remove and be quick!

7. Transfer back to the same baking sheet and garnish with dried rose petals or sea salt. Repeat until all clusters are coated, then place in the fridge until the chocolate has hardened.

Serve from the fridge and enjoy! Soooo yummy 😋

From what we eat to how we move our bodies, is a reflection of our personal philosophy and values. 🍏💪

In a world where words flow easily, let's not forget the extraordinary power of our actions.

It's not just about talking the good talk, but about walking that path with unwavering determination. 🚶‍♀️🚶‍♂️

When it comes to our health choices, it's the steps we take, the habits we build, and the changes we commit to that truly make a difference.

We can discuss wellness strategies all day long, but until we put those ideas into action, transformation remains a distant dream. 💭💡

🥾So let's lace up those sneakers and hit the pavement.

🥗Let's savour those nourishing meals that fuel our bodies.

🧘‍♀️Let's carve out time for self-care that rejuvenates our spirits.

Let's turn our intentions into reality and watch as our choices create ripples of positive change, not just within ourselves, but in the world around us. 🌊🌎

Remember, the choices we make today sculpt the future we desire.

Let's be architects of change, and let our actions speak volumes about the values we hold dear. 🙏

This quote holds a delightful truth.

It’s not just about filling our stomachs, but the magical bond that forms when we share meals with company! 🥰✨

When we gather around the table with friends or family, we embark on an incredible journey of togetherness. 🗺️

The act of ‘breaking bread’ together fosters a unique connection that transcends the ordinary. As we indulge in the delicious dishes laid before us, we nourish not just our bodies but also our souls with the warmth of human companionship! 🌟❤️

And, it turns out, science has our back on this one! 🌟🔬

Research suggests that sharing meals has incredible health benefits that go beyond just satisfying our taste buds. 🥰🤗

✅ Improved Mental Well-being: Sharing meals with loved ones, friends, or neighbours fosters a sense of belonging and support. It can reduce feelings of loneliness and promote better mental well-being. So, when you gather around the table with your tribe, you're nourishing both your heart and your mind! ❤️🧠

✅ Healthier Eating Habits: Eating together often leads to more balanced and nutritious meals. When we cook and dine as a group, we tend to choose healthier options and pay more attention to portion sizes. Plus, sharing different dishes exposes us to a variety of foods, expanding our palates and improving our overall diet! 🥗🍅

✅ Stress Reduction: Ever notice how stress seems to melt away when you're laughing and sharing stories over a meal? It's not just in your head! Gathering with others for a meal has been shown to reduce stress levels and increase feelings of happiness. So, let's add some extra servings of laughter and joy to our plates! 😄🍴

✅ Better Digestion: This one might surprise you! When we eat with others, we tend to slow down, chew our food more thoroughly, and enjoy each bite mindfully. This aids digestion and nutrient absorption, contributing to better overall gut health! 🍽️🌿

So, let’s make room for shared meals, and for connections that nourish both body and soul. 🥰❤️

Tag your favourite dining companions and celebrate the power of togetherness with every delicious bite! 🙌

It's as if you've bitten into the essence of a sunny winter morning.

An explosion of freshness—the sweet and zesty notes dance across your taste buds. The juiciness floods your mouth, tingling and cool.

The texture is pure perfection—soft and succulent, like biting into nature's juiciest secret.

The natural sweetness lingers, balanced by a hint of tang that enlivens your senses.

If you close your eyes, you can almost feel the citrus grove around you, the gentle breeze rustling the leaves, and the warmth of the sun embracing your skin.

It's a mindful moment, frozen in time, a celebration of the earth's bountiful offerings. 🙏

Nature makes the right foods at the right time and mandarins are one of winter’s most delicious gifts. 🍊🧡

Loaded with vitamin C, these little orbs of sunshine boost our immune systems and keep us feeling energised on dreary winter days.⚡️✨

They're also a fantastic source of soluble fibre, which forms a gel in the digestive track, drawing in water to soften stools and help keep us regular. 🚽🧻

And let's not forget the antioxidants that work wonders in keeping our skin radiant and youthful! 😍✨

Thanks for the home grown manddies Mum 😘

Do you think Daisy and Sunny are happy to see me? ❤️

Nope, I had Wormies.

The mere crackle of a dried worms bag brings them running. 😆

Today, as we remember and honour the sacrifices of our brave soldiers and veterans, nature gave us a beautiful reminder of hope and beauty.

When we saw it, the first thing my young niece said was, “that’s for our Anzac’s, they deserve a double rainbow today”.

The next generation will remember them.

Lest we forget.

“I think it’s really a swan, like the ugly duckling”, says my little nephew.

We’re at City Chicks in Stamford picking up ducklings for a 2 night sleepover and amongst the fluffy yellow ducklings is this skinny brown (my nephew insists grey) little puff ball.

“Can we get that one?”

We did get that one. It temporarily became known as Jimmy, plus a yellow ducky the girls named Nipper.

Our duckling sleepover was several days of cuteness overload, especially when they went for their first swim (in a tray with a couple of inches of lukewarm water). Watching their instinctive behaviour as they ducked and dove, splashed and played around, then stood up tall to shake the water off. Adorable.

They snuggled in our hands, jumped around like their legs had springs and splashed their drinking water everywhere. Everywhere.

The whole time, my nephew looked for signs Jimmy was really a swan. “It’s neck is longer than Nippers”, “It dives like a swan”, “See how it sits in the water”.

In my nephews eyes, Jimmy was already the most beautiful swan and not just a skinny brown duckling. 🦢 #nownourished

🤓 Wow, the last few weeks have been intense, attached to my laptop wrapping up my final research project for Uni.

Gotta say, statistical analysis is my least favourite pastime and turning raw data into information is tedious work. I think my brain temporarily shut down after I summited the report. 🥴

Exciting times ahead though. I’m doing a University Summer program on nutrigenomics.

Have you heard of nutrigenomics?

🧬🍲 It’s basically understanding how food components influence gene activity.

This area of science is starting to explain why the same diet and lifestyle effects people differently. Several genes have already been been identified, for example, you might have what is known as a “thrifty gene” (PPARG). When this gene is active it tells your body to store fat and makes it more difficult to lose weight and keep it off.

It’s an exciting and emerging field of study that’s leading towards personalised nutrition based on your DNA. While we can’t change our DNA, research indicates that genes can be “switched on or off” with diet modifications. Working with the body instead of against it. ❤️ #nownourished

Starting new things is often challenging and at times overwhelming, we want to be at the end before we’ve even begun.

Being new to the online business world, my head spins with all the things I need to learn to turn my ideas into a tangible form.

It’s the same when we want to change our eating and lifestyle habits. We want to do it but obstacles, that only exist in our mind, prevent us from moving forward.

Words, whether said out loud or in our mind, are a powerful force and lately I’ve been reminding myself of this Arthur Ashe quote, it soothes my overwhelm so I can take the next step.

“I don’t know where to start” - Start where you are.

“I don’t have the right tools” - Use what you have.

“I’m overwhelmed” - Do what you can.

Each little step moves us closer to where we want to be. #nownourished

⬆️ Put your feet up... all the way up ⬆️

Finding it hard to relax?

🥰 Legs-up-the-wall (Viparita Karani) is my favourite yoga pose when I’m feeling particularly restless and jittery, calms me right down and feels sooo good.

You just sit side-on to a wall, shimmy your hips around as you lay down and walk your legs up the wall to make the body into an L-shape.

If you find you’re a long way from the wall, wiggle a little closer until it feels comfortable.

You can keep your legs straight up or open them wide, experiment with what feels good.

Focus on your breath or find a pretty book to look at pictures 📚

Let me know when your feet go up 😊

💦 Boiling water creates change 🔥

🤔 Not sure about you, but I was pretty over-cooked in the beginning of TWT (These Weird Times) and turned to mush.

But you know what?

All I needed was to change the recipe, combine a few extra ingredients and create a new dish.

💕 That’s the wonderful thing about being human, we are change makers. The boiling water just speeds us up.

Do you need to change your recipe?

💡Farmers Market Tip

Keep your Silverbeet fresh for longer by trimming the ends and popping it in a vase like a bunch of flowers. 💐

BONUS: adds an extra spark of greenery to your kitchen and you can just grab a stalk or two whenever you’re ready for some leafy green goodness.

😊 No more wilted silverbeet jammed into the fridge! #nownourished
