🍬📱 The Sugar-Screen Rollercoaster

One sweet treat turns into three. One scroll turns into an hour. Same brain chemical: dopamine.

Sugar and screens both trigger dopamine hits — but your brain adapts fast, so you need more and more just to feel “normal.”

The bigger issue? Repeated sugar spikes = repeated insulin surges. Over time, that’s insulin resistance — a key step toward type 2 diabetes. The crash after the spike? That’s what drives the next craving. Not willpower. Biology.

Get off the ride:
✅ Protein + fibre at meals
✅ Delay the scroll — 10 mins builds the pause muscle
✅ See the crash as a cue, not a flaw

Steadier dopamine → steadier you 💛

Having conversations about nutrition and healthy lifestyle at a Wellness Day is a wonderful opportunity to create awareness and share knowledge.

In The Pink Flaxseed Bread offers me a gluten free and delicious toast option for a hearty meal.
Today I combined breakfast and lunch and aimed for around 30g protein : roughly 6g per egg (24g) and about 6g protein in 30g of cheese.
Many of my clients insist on having eggs on toast if they have a savoury breakfast. This is an example of how one can make a swop and still be able to enjoy the meal.

Some Label Comparisons for Carbohydrates/ Sugar content
‼️ Note for some the Carb / Serving is not the total of the product g size. It’s misleading.

To every woman reading this —

You are the angels walking among us.

To the clients who’ve trusted me with your health, your struggles, and your journeys toward feeling whole again — thank you. To the course and workshop participants who’ve shown up ready to learn, grow, and invest in yourselves — you inspire me. And to every mother, daughter, sister, and friend who lights up the lives around her — this is for you too.

You carry strength into moments that felt impossible, and grace into the everyday.

It has been one of the greatest privileges of my work to walk alongside so many of you, watching you heal, learn, and thrive. Today, I celebrate you — not just for what you’ve overcome, but for who you are.

Happy Women’s Day to the angels in my life, my practice, and the ones reading this post 🤍✨ 🪽✨

✨ LION’S GATE PORTAL · 8.8 ✨

On the 8th of August, the sky opens. It’s the day the ancients watched Sirius — the spiritual sun — rise in alignment with our own sun. Numerologists call it the gateway of infinity. Astrologers call it the heart of Leo season: courage, radiance, renewal.

Join me for a morning of connection and intention as well as meditation as we step through the gate together — an immersive journey using the powerful energy that is available for this time , oracle card draw, and a guided visualization.

📅 8 August | ⏰ 08:30-12:00]

Do you reflect on the month before diving into the next one ? July was filled to the brim with exciting and fulfilling work, travel and of course, challenges. I can however look back on July 2026 as the month so far this year with the most variety from a work perspective.

The Johannesburg and Durban training events I was involved in as a KOL for Amipro/ Metagenics South Africa, reminded me of how much I love sharing knowledge and enjoy connecting with others who are passionate about learning.
I had very interesting clients this month that made me think out the box to support them on their health and healing journeys.
And i included walks at sunrise, a few swims and started a project i am really excited about.
I hope you too can look back on July and remind yourself of moments you were courageous, when you prioritised joy, invested in your wellbeing or simply made time to connect with special people in your life .
All these aspects nourish us on different levels💛☀️

This weekend I am visiting my 91 year old mother with advanced dementia and spending time with her is a wonderful ending to the month.

Such a pleasure always to be part of the Metagenics community- sharing what is happening at the intersection of science and everyday wellbeing.
Mental wellbeing has become one of the top conversations happening at the counter or in the consulting room. And increasingly research is showing us that a lot of this has a nutritional and physiological root, it just a psychological one.
