I didn’t think I liked sprouts… to be honest, I had only tried them once and didn’t have a positive or negative reaction to them. My good friend Janice (of Nourished by Nature) said that at Christmas time, she made a spicy sprout ferment… I was inspired, so I gave it a go myself. I […]

Do you know how to reduce chronic inflammation?
This week is Crohn’s & Colitis Awareness Week. When I was diagnosed with Crohn’s in 2017, I went on a deep dive to work out why and how this could have happened to me. In my friend group, I was known as ‘fitness Jen’, and everyone (including me) thought I was fit and healthy… What […]
Butt Strength, balance and stability
Happy Monday to you… Although I talked last Wednesday about this being a busy season, it’s also a time of year when we can find ourselves sitting for long periods of time. Depending on what you do for your work, you might already be sitting most of the day… One of the many problems that […]
Porridge… How do you take yours? Sweet, salty… or both??
Porridge… I think the sweet or salty, milk or water debate can be as divisive as pineapple on a pizza (it’s a solid yes for me!) How do you like your porridge? What are your rules? Me, I like both… sweet and salty in the same bowl… just like popcorn… yes you can mix it […]
Are you losing control in this busy season?
So many people I speak to talk about the madness of December and how they ‘just have no time’, and they are rushed and pushed all over the place with many, many commitments. They are stretched to breaking point… Is this you? Are you saying yes to everything, even if you really don’t want to […]

How do you make your chocolate healthier?
This one is for the health-conscious chocolate lover… I am not a fan of milk or white chocolate. I find them too sweet. I was put off at the Cadbury’s factory in Tasmania, and the guide told us that the white chocolate was just the leftovers after they had taken the goodness out of the […]
Taking back control
Do you feel like to have lost control of your health and well-being? I know I have felt like that in the past especially when I have been in a Crohn’s flare. Losing my independence and freedom (couldn’t even wash or dress myself at my worst). More recently being told by the hospital that I […]

Hello, I hope you have had a good weekend. I love when we get these clear blue skies and fresh cold weather. I am not a fan when it clouds over and gets damp! And my body lets me know about it’s dislike too… It’s at this time of year many of us get cold’s […]
