Duality. Ever have those moments where you’re trying to create space for something but something else is going on that seems to push against it?
Like mediating while the kids are being noisy or trying a new eating protocol with the thought of those brownies in the cupboard?
These inconsistencies and opposite behaviours are a chance for us to grow and evolve, we just need to take away the need to fix it, and embrace what the moment can teach us.

Practising these steps that I share with you in this episode in allowing the what to flow will help you not only stay on track with your goal, but also stay on track to what is aligned for you.

It was Friday night, Chris and I were on the lounge watching the new episodes of Sex and the City. I wasn’t overly keen to watch them, although I loved the original series. I’ve loved Sarah Jessica Parker since Girls Just Wanna Have Fun and Footloose, and I wondered if it’d be like putting on an old pair of trackies that just feel oh so comfy.
It’s funny to be talking about my poo, but let’s do it and hopefully it’ll inspire you to explore your guts too.
That’s effectively what we’re doing. Our poo tells a story. Whether it be runny, stiff or a number 4 on the Bristol Stool Chart, you can still have ‘stuff’ going on that you need to sort out.
I wasn’t expecting the results I got, and maybe if I looked at other signs, the writing was on the wall. Doing a stool test was a quicker way to sort my shit out (pun intended) and help me raise my energy levels.
At my second consultation with Brooke, I ask her about doing a Hair and Stool test. We’d talked briefly about it at the first appointment but hadn’t taken anything any further.
When I said ‘let’s do them’. She was like a kid in a candy store, ‘I wish all my clients did them’, ‘they’re so valuable’, ‘I can’t wait until we get the results’.
Needless to say, she was excited.
The hair test was testing for foods that cause inflammation in my body, so I was keen to see the results.
At my first consultation with Brooke, she’d given me a series of blood tests to do. It was actually only one donation of blood for me, but the pathologists would test for a few different things.
I could’ve either gone to the pathology place, donate blood and pay just over $230 for the service or go to my General Practitioner (GP), take 10 minutes of his time (bulk billed, which means no money changes hands) and get the blood test scripts from him, then go to my pathology place and pay nothing.
I opted to see my GP. The first appointment they had was the following Sunday and that meant I had to get my bloods done asap, so Brooke could have them the following week.
It’s time to celebrate!
In 2021, I made the conscious decision to not eat chocolate! And guess what? I still haven’t had any!
In this episode, I’m recapping the work I’ve done over the last 12 months around chocolate.
I talk about the highs and lows of my journey and how I was able to dive deep and discover the real connection I have to chocolate and by doing so, in a kind and holistic approach, truly overcoming it.

In this Beginner Health Session, I dive into the challenges our kids are having around food that we may not be aware of.
We can start supporting our kids needs around food and what’s healthy simply by having conversations with them and helping them explore and tune in with what their bodies need and help them set the foundations of balanced nutrition for life.
