This is such an important topic for women over 40. I want to challenge the idea that bone health is simply about getting more calcium and exercise. That is often where the conversation starts and ends, but bone density is far more complex than that. This week I’ll be unpacking all the key factors that influence strong, resilient bones. Foods, lifestyle, hormones, myth around milk etc INSIDE THE PREMIUM HUB THIS WEEK: - Support For Healthy Bones PDF guide - I outline foods that support bone density from multiple nutrient angles, not just calcium, including protein, magnesium, vitamin K2, boron and more, and why protein is a non-negotiable part of bone building. - Video training- I share my honest thoughts on dairy and why I question the common messaging around it. I also explain the three areas I believe need attention for bone health: - Intake of bone supporting nutrients - Absorption of those nutrients - Reducing loss of those nutrients Also, I cover lifestyle factors beyond exercise that influence bone health. And I reveal my supplement strategy, (in case you already have concerns about bone density), what to test and if and what to supplement. - Meal plan - This week’s meal plan demonstrates the variety of foods that nourish bones, with recipes rich in protein and supportive nutrients, not just calcium. If improving bone density is on your mind and you would like a practical road map, this week’s content will give you a strong foundation. Not yet in Premium?

Hi everyone, Let’s talk about turmeric — one of the top anti-inflammatory foods (or superfoods!). Turmeric grows mainly in India and other parts of Asia, and it has been used for thousands of years in traditional medicine and cooking, especially in Ayurvedic practices. I’m honestly so happy that turmeric is still going strong today. People are becoming more interested in it again, using it more often, and there’s much more awareness now about how powerful it can be for supporting health. It’s one of those ingredients that has stood the test of time. From detox and energy support to brain health and strong bones, turmeric can be incredibly supportive for the body. What I also like about it is that it’s very versatile, and these days there are so many different ways to include it in your routine. Sometimes people try it once and don’t notice much, but you do need to have it regularly and avoid the most cheapest brands if you wish to gain some health benefits from it. 👉 I’m curious — do you already use turmeric regularly, or are you just starting to explore it? For Premium Members 1. In this week’s vide "Turmeric - The Benefits, Tips and Warnings" I talk about:• The different forms of turmeric - fresh, powdered, supplements, the key benefits I’ve seen. 2) In your meal plan, you’ll find delicious recipes - chia puddings, smoothies, dinners and snacks. 3) In the handout "Turmeric Your Golden Helper" - main benefits of turmeric so you can see just how much this golden spice can do for your body.

This week in Thrive Again, we’re bringing attention to beetroot — one of those foods that is often overlooked but can be incredibly supportive when included regularly. In many parts of the world, beetroot is actually a very normal, everyday food. Across Eastern Europe it’s used in soups like borscht, in Mediterranean regions it’s often served roasted with olive oil, and in other cultures it’s added to salads, juices, or simple cooked dishes. It’s interesting how some foods that are common elsewhere haven’t quite become part of everyday eating here in Australia yet — and beetroot is one of them. I personally believe it’s worth bringing more of it into our meals because it offers such a wide range of health benefits. Beetroot naturally contains compounds that help improve circulation, support heart health, and enhance oxygen delivery around the body, which can influence energy levels, stamina, and even mental clarity. It’s also rich in antioxidants that help calm inflammation and support the body’s natural detox processes. Many people notice it can be especially supportive when energy feels low, when circulation isn’t optimal, or when the body is under more physical or inflammatory stress. Even adding it a few times during the week can make a difference over time. If beetroot isn’t something you usually eat, this could be a nice opportunity to experiment with it a little — sometimes these simple additions end up becoming really enjoyable once you find a way of preparing them that you like. 💜 For Premium Members Inside this week’s content: • Video "Beetroot - For Heart, Energy and More" – how to use raw, cooked, or powdered beetroot. • Handout (PDF) – a deeper overview of beetroot’s key benefits. • Meal Plan – different ways to include beetroot during the week so you can follow it fully or simply pick the meals that suit you.. Remember, Sundays are your “do whatever you want” days — a little flexibility goes a long way!

I am not against coffee but I want you to be aware of how you use coffee. Commonly I see that people don’t think much about their coffee consumption, but this is something I want you to pay attention to. For many, coffee is not just a morning habit or an energy boost. It is a stimulant that affects your stress response, sleep quality, blood sugar, digestion, and overall energy regulation. When it is used regularly, it can quietly shape your health and how your body feels throughout the entire day. I often see coffee being used to compensate for something, to patch something up, or as a shortcut instead of actually listening to what the body is needing. Coffee sensitivity does not always look obvious It can show up as: - Feeling wired but tired - but it can be missed because you might blame it on stress - Changes in energy and moods - are you blaming hormones - Changes in sleep, even if you fall a sleep ok - Needing coffee just to feel norma - Digestive challenges and cravings - do you use it to go to the toilet So a lot of people think they tolerate coffee well… when in reality it may be influencing their nervous system and energy more than they realise. This is why I place so much focus on awareness first. If you do not understand what is driving your energy patterns, it is very easy to stay stuck in a cycle of stimulation and crash without knowing why. So again, awareness first, action second. I have had all sorts of phases in my life - on and off, push and pull. I love the smell and the taste but I know I have to limit it because my busy mind can otherwise just run wild and I don't get to sleep. Whats your journey with coffee? Is it love, is it hate? For Premium members I have put together: - A full PDF guide that explains all the effects of coffee, what is happening in the body and why - A coffee alternative guide explaining what drinks are good and why, you get some recipes and product recommendations too.

Ohhh another unnecessary substance that creates so much disruption in our health, and to be honest, even research now shows how these are not serving the purpose they originally were invented for. This week we are taking a closer look at where the artificial sweeteners show up in everyday foods, how to start recognising them, and how to become more confident at spotting hidden sources in your diet. Can you believe they use them even in kids vitamins????? To make things easier, I have created a very clear action plan to help you put this into practice without overwhelm. For my Premium Members I have the following, just click on the files to access all the info.: 1) PDF "Food Additives: Artificial Sweeteners" explains what artificial sweeteners are, where they are found, and the possible effects they may have in the body so you know what to look out for. 2) PDF "Swap The Artificial Sweetener" covers simple real food swap ideas so you can easily replace common products containing artificial sweeteners. 3) This week’s video shares my personal opinion on artificial sweeteners, the more surprising and often missed detail about health effects and shows you how to become a “label detective” so you can confidently identify hidden sweeteners in foods.
