From the pits of hell, to feeling well… World IBD Awareness Day 2024
I used to be known in my peer group as ‘fitness Jen’. I was the fit and healthy one. Always in the gym, eating healthy food, living life to the max. The problem was, I wasn’t listening to my body crying out for attention. It needed rest. It needed less go, go, go. It needed […]

Gluten Free Coconut & Almond Pancakes
I don’t know about you, but I struggle for breakfast ideas. Moving into perimenopause and learning about nutrition in these years (40+) a higher protein breakfast is suggested. Eggs if you like them are the perfect breakfast. Unfortunately for me, I don’t like eggs, so I need to find a way to get them in […]
