Is Corn The New Gluten?

Is Corn The New Gluten?

We've all heard about the issues gluten can cause with your health - both mental and physical - but did you know that corn can in fact be wreaking as much havoc on your health as gluten? Many of us turn to corn as a 'healthy' alternative to gluten, but although corn may be 'gluten free', is it really as healthy as we're lead to believe? I'll start by answering this question with a few simple facts about gluten. For those who are still a little unclear about what gluten act

Is Your Probiotic Going To Waste If You Don’t Do This...

Is Your Probiotic Going To Waste If You Don’t Do This...

No doubt you've heard about the importance of taking a quality probiotic for maintaining a healthy gut, but many of us know little about prebiotics and the important role they play in our gut and digestive health. So let me begin by explaining the actual difference between a 'pre' and 'pro' biotic. To put it simply, probiotics are strains of “good" bacteria, found in fermented foods and quality probiotic supplements, required by your gut to maintain a healthy balance of good

Is Your Coconut Milk Really Coconut Milk?

Is Your Coconut Milk Really Coconut Milk?

It seems dairy free milks are fast becoming our preferred choice when it comes to our morning brew, smoothie, or breakfast cereal, and that's a good thing considering the MANY issues associated with cow's milk. (You can read more about these in a previous post I wrote here and here). But one diary free milk that's quickly gaining popularity, is coconut milk. The humble coconut is renowned as a wonder food, thanks to being rich in fatty acids - namely lauric acid - which ma

Top 6 Foods For A Healthy Gut

Top 6 Foods For A Healthy Gut

When it comes to functioning and feeling your best - both mentally and physically - the most important place to start is with your gut! Put simply, 'the gut is where it's at' - when it comes to how well we function on a day to day basis. The reason why our gut health plays such a central role in influencing our overall health, is because it's home to trillions and trillions of microbes that outnumber your cells by a ratio of 10:1, which means the human body is essentially

Which foods should you buy organic?

Which foods should you buy organic?

There’s a lot of talk about whether eating organically produced food is worth the money and health benefits. This is something I get consulted on regularly, including a recent article I contributed to for Fernwood Gym’s magazine. My advice when it comes to buying organic food, at the very least stick to organic eggs and chicken (you can read why here) and avoid non-organic varieties of ‘THE DIRTY DOZEN’ fruit and vegetables – created by The Environmental Working Group (EWG).

Do Detox Diets Really Work?

Do Detox Diets Really Work?

Many of us are turned off by the idea of a ‘detox diet’ or juice cleanse, due to the associated calorie deprivation, feelings of lightheadedness and impulsively wanting to eat everything in sight, after solely consuming liquids or rabbit food! For anyone who’s tried these forms of detox, you’ll know the results are often short lived at best, with most people eventually regaining any weight lost! In my view, the infamous lemon detox diet or juice cleanses, are a far cry from

What Does Your Poo Say About You?

What Does Your Poo Say About You?

If you've read my book, Love Your Gut, or seen me for a consultation, you'll know when it comes to diagnosing and treating your health, I place A LOT of emphasis on your poo! But before you go getting all grossed out, you may be surprised to learn that when it comes to your poo, it tells an awful lot about you! So why is it that the topic of poo has become so taboo?! Would you think differently about your number two's if I told you your poo holds the key to your health - bo

Does Cow's Dairy 'Leech Calcium From Your Bones?

Does Cow's Dairy 'Leech Calcium From Your Bones?

The case against cow's dairy and whether it plays an 'essential role in our health', is an age old argument, causing plenty of controversy and a divide amongst health professionals. To help dispel much of the confusion surrounding cow's dairy and the role it plays in our diet, I've broken down the science for you so you can be clear about the facts on this supposed 'essential food' and whether we really need to consume cow's dairy for strong, healthy bones. We're taught from

How to heal your gut with fermented foods

We're hearing an awful lot about gut health nowadays and for good reason - it is the centre of our bodies universe! So how do we look after our gut and why is it so important to that we maintain those trillions of good bacteria living inside us? Well the simple answer is, your gut is composed of more bacteria than there are cells in the entire human body - making us actually more bacteria than human cells! The microbes living within your gut functions just like any eco syste

Why The Real Secret To Weight Loss Lies In Your Gut

Why The Real Secret To Weight Loss Lies In Your Gut

Hands up if you’ve ever been on a diet and failed? Hands up if you’ve ever been on a diet that has lead to you putting on more weight than before you started? I bet the answer to at least one of these questions is ‘Yes’ and the simple explanation is because diets honestly don’t work, well at least not in the long term for the majority of people. You see as humans, we’re designed to be pleasure seekers and food is one of the simplest and most satisfying pleasures we can enj

Is Your Sugar Free Diet Really Sugar Free?

Is Your Sugar Free Diet Really Sugar Free?

There's no doubt that going sugar free has become all the rage, and I have to admit I'm partly to blame, considering I've been putting 1000's of patients, (including Sarah Wilson, founder of the I Quit Sugar movement) on my Eat Yourself Healthy program for the past 16 years. I've also experienced first hand, the powerful and life changing effects of adopting a low sugar diet - since recovering from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Hashimoto's and Lupus, prior to becoming a Nutritio

5 Mistakes People Make Going Gluten Free

5 Mistakes People Make Going Gluten Free

It seems more and more people are going gluten free nowadays, which in my view is GREAT news because of the countless negative effects gluten can have on the digestive system and overall health! But in an effort to get healthy, I see many people replace gluten with supposedly "healthy" foods, thinking they are on the right track just because a product has a gluten free label! Food manufacturers are also trying to cash in on the gluten free trend, producing gluten free food

11 Signs Stress Is Affecting Your Health

11 Signs Stress Is Affecting Your Health

Stress is so commonplace for many of us nowadays that it's become a way of life. So often we are completely unaware of just how much stress we are exposed to on a daily basis, that we fail to even recognise the signs and symptoms that can be directly induced by chronic stress. Stress in small doses is perfectly normal and can even help you to perform under pressure and motivate you to do your best, however when that stress becomes ongoing, the effects can be life threatening

5 ways To Ward Off Winter Weight Gain

5 ways To Ward Off Winter Weight Gain

If you're like me, winter sends a chill right to your core, making it my least favourite season which most definitely has something to do with having an underactive thyroid, and even though mine is largely under control now, it hasn't changed the fact that I am the world's greatest cold frog! But although winter's not on our doorstep quite yet, the recent cold snap across most of Australia, has certainly provided a taste for what's to come! Winters also a time when many of

Soy...NOT...So Good

Soy...NOT...So Good

Soy has long been heralded as a 'health food' when in fact nothing could be further from the truth! The soy story sounds more like something out of a Hollywood movie....involving 'money, power, lies and deception!' Even big time celebrities and elite athletes have been brought onboard to help sell the soy story, as a health and even beauty food! Yep...it seems when you have buckets of money behind you, you can make people believe anything! And that's just what the soy ind

Should You Quit Sugar?

Should You Quit Sugar?

Just a few days after returning from my travels in America, my PA flicked me no less than 96 emails from my readers asking my opinion on a recent 'sugar war' that had broken out between a journalist and a nutritionist. I read the article in question and was some what amused as these sorts of controversies always seem to come round when the latest health craze is hitting the streets. So I feel compelled to respond to those who have asked about my stance on this argument, not

Are Your Pain Med's Causing You More Pain?

Are Your Pain Med's Causing You More Pain?

If you're suffering from chronic pain and have become reliant on pharmaceutical pain medications, such as over the counter anti inflammatories - known as NSAID's - non-steroidal antiinflammatory drugs - like aspirin or ibuprofen, or you're unlucky enough to have to rely on heavy duty corticosteroid anti inflammatory drugs, such as prednisolone, prednisone and medrol, then chances are your pain could become a product of these medications if you're taking them regularly.
