I’ll start by saying I am by no means the classic naturopath who eats perfectly. I’ve been known to called a ‘naughty naturopath’ never mind.
But when it comes to cooking for my family I do follow some basic guidelines:
_
🐟The Mediterranean diet - fresh whole foods, lots of colourful fruit & veggies, omega-3 rich foods like fish, good fats 🥑, whole grains (though I leave out gluten completely for myself).
I do my best to avoid processed foods, refined sugar and too much fried food.

🍄🟫Then I take it up a level and implement aspects from the MIND diet. This is basically the Mediterranean diet plus foods focusing on cognitive health such as organic (and only organic) berries, herbs such as rosemary for memory, saffron for cognitive function, turmeric for inflammation, and of course, medicinal mushies such as lions mane.

🍴As a naturopath, people often ask me - how do you eat? So here is my rough guide but never forget that eating should be relaxing and enjoyable; we can usually create a healthy diet for almost anyone with our varying individual likes and dislikes. There is no one way to do it, we are all different and so are our dietary preferences and needs. X
