STRESS-RELIEF LATTE 🍄🌿

Need a moment to unwind? This comforting latte combines two popular adaptogens with warming spices for a cosy, caffeine-free evening drink.

🌿 Ingredients

• ½ tsp reishi mushroom powder
• ½ tsp ashwagandha powder
• 1 cup warm unsweetened almond or coconut milk
• ¼ tsp Ceylon cinnamon
• 1 tsp honey (optional)

📝 Instructions

Warm the milk gently (do not boil). Whisk in the reishi, ashwagandha and Ceylon cinnamon until smooth and frothy. Sweeten with honey if desired, then sip slowly and enjoy.

🌱 Why these ingredients?

🍄 Reishi
• Traditionally used to promote relaxation and wellbeing.
• May help support sleep quality and the body's response to stress.

🌿 Ashwagandha
• An adaptogenic herb that may help support resilience to stress.
• Some studies suggest it may help reduce cortisol levels in people experiencing chronic stress.

🤎 Ceylon Cinnamon
• Adds natural sweetness and warmth.
• Rich in antioxidants and may help support healthy blood sugar balance.
• Contains much lower levels of coumarin than Cassia cinnamon, making it the preferred choice for regular use.

🍯 Honey (Optional)
• A natural sweetener with small amounts of antioxidants.
• Adds soothing flavour without refined sugar.

💚 Tip

This latte is naturally caffeine-free, making it a lovely evening drink as part of a relaxing bedtime routine.

⚠️ Please note:
Ashwagandha is not suitable for everyone. Avoid during pregnancy unless advised by your healthcare professional, and speak to your doctor if you have thyroid disease, an autoimmune condition, or take medication.

An interesting discussion from Dr. Vonda Wright on calcium intake and bone health 🦴

Current evidence suggests that, for most people, meeting calcium requirements through food is preferable to relying on supplements. Calcium-rich foods provide a complex matrix of nutrients that work together to support bone health and are generally absorbed more naturally by the body.

High-dose calcium supplements may not provide the same benefits and, in some individuals, have been associated with an increased risk of vascular calcification. Bone health also depends on adequate vitamin D, vitamin K2, magnesium, protein, and regular resistance exercise, all of which play important roles in helping the body utilise calcium effectively.

It's a great reminder that supporting our bones is about so much more than just calcium alone.

Did you know? 🫐🍓

Raspberries and blueberries are naturally rich in fibre, vitamin C and antioxidants, making them a delicious way to support your overall health.

One of my favourite ways to enjoy them is with organic Greek yoghurt for a protein boost and a sprinkle of raw cacao powder or nibs for a rich chocolate 🍫 flavour and extra antioxidants.

Simple, nourishing and absolutely delicious! 💙

How do you like to enjoy your berries?

Folate and folic acid are often confused, but they are not the same.

✅ Folate is the natural form of vitamin B9 found in food and is readily used by the body.

⚠️ Folic acid is a synthetic form used in many supplements and fortified foods. Some people have difficulty converting it into the active form the body needs.

Whenever possible, choose real food sources of nutrients first. Your body recognises and utilises nutrients from whole foods in the way nature intended.

Ever heard of the estrobolome?

The estrobolome is a collection of gut bacteria that helps regulate how estrogen is processed and eliminated from the body.

When your gut microbiome is healthy, it can support balanced estrogen levels. When it's out of balance, estrogen metabolism can be affected.

Supporting your gut health with plenty of colourful vegetables, fibre, fermented foods, polyphenol-rich foods and adequate protein can help support healthy estrogen metabolism and overall wellbeing.

Why should I care?

The current EU proposals to set restrictive Maximum Allowed levels threaten many of the supplements you rely on for wellness.

The EU intends to slash supplement potency, effectively banning beneficial doses of essential nutrients like Vitamin C, Magnesium, and Vitamin B6. We refuse to let safe, effective products be banned, diluted or hidden behind expensive prescriptions.

Did you know your thyroid doesn’t work alone? 👇

The gut and liver both play an important role in thyroid hormone conversion, inflammation, nutrient absorption, and hormone balance.

You can take all the thyroid supplements in the world, but if the gut is inflamed or the liver is under pressure, the body may still struggle to function properly.

Supporting gut health, liver function, stress levels, blood sugar balance, and nutrition can make a big difference to energy, mood, digestion, skin health, and overall wellbeing 💙

The body is connected. Thyroid health is about more than just the thyroid itself.
