This old guy came 1st in the Ulladulla parkrun Australia today. (The fast young guys were away apparently 😜)

Whether you’re running or walking come and join us for a well deserved coffee afterwards every Saturday morning.

Looking to switch to a low-tox deodorant that actually works?

Or perhaps you’ve tried natural deodorants before and ended up with irritated armpits?

That’s one of the reasons we love Totem Eco. Made just up the road in Berry, their deodorants are free from aluminium, bicarb and synthetic fragrances, making them a great option for sensitive skin.

Here’s the thing. Most of us start using deodorant as teenagers and then apply it every single day for the next 40, 50 or 60 years.

Many conventional deodorants are full of synthetic fragrances and other unnecessary chemicals. If you’re working on reducing your toxic load, supporting your hormones or creating a healthier home for your family, deodorant is one of the easiest and most impactful swaps you can make.

The good news is you don’t need all that stuff to stop body odour.

Totem Eco uses magnesium to provide long-lasting odour protection without aluminium, bicarb or synthetic fragrances, and without blocking your body’s natural ability to sweat.

Bonus points for being Australian made, vegan and packaged sustainably too.

Toby dropped off a fresh batch today, so if you’ve been meaning to make the switch, now’s a good time.

Breakfast really is the most important meal of the day.

What you eat (or don’t eat) first thing in the morning sets the tone for the rest of the day.

When you wake up, cortisol naturally rises to help get you moving. It’s designed to wake you up, not fuel you all morning.

When you skip breakfast, your body continues relying on stress hormones to keep blood sugar levels up and provide energy.

Over time this can contribute to:

• Energy crashes
• Cravings
• Increased hunger later in the day
• Insulin resistance
• Increased fat storage around the middle

Eating breakfast within about an hour of waking sends your body a powerful message:

“I’m safe. I’m fed. There’s no emergency.”

And if you’re exercising first thing in the morning, don’t forget your body needs fuel for that too. A breakfast containing protein and carbohydrates provides energy for your workout, while a protein-rich meal within about two hours afterwards helps support recovery and maintain muscle mass.

One of the easiest ways to improve your breakfast is to make protein the star of the meal.

Check out some of our favourite high-protein breakfast ideas.

Did you know we’re a seed oil free coffee bar?

We think it’s important to know what’s in the food and drinks you’re consuming every day.

That’s why we’re forever reading labels, asking questions and looking a little deeper into the ingredients of the products we stock and serve.

When we looked at some of Australia’s most popular café milks, one ingredient kept appearing: canola oil.

Seed oils such as vegetable oil, sunflower oil, canola oil and rapeseed oil are already found in countless packaged foods. They’re highly processed and one of the biggest sources of omega-6 fats in the modern diet. While we need omega-6 fats, most of us aren’t deficient, which is why we’ve chosen to keep them out of our coffee. ☕️

So when you order a coffee from Empower, choose from:

☕️ Full-cream Jersey milk from Tilba Dairy

🌿 Tiger Nut Mylk

🌾 OMG Oat Milk

🫘 Bonsoy Soy Milk

🌰 Pure Harvest Organic Almond Milk

Just real ingredients and the opportunity to make informed choices about what’s in your cup.

Breakfast sorted for the week: High Protein GF Bircher

One of the easiest ways I’ve found to make sure I eat breakfast is to prepare it ahead of time.

This batch of protein bircher made 5 serves, all ready to grab from the fridge during the week.

Eating within about an hour of waking helps tell the body it’s fed and doesn’t need to keep relying on stress hormones for fuel. Having breakfast ready to go makes that a whole lot easier.

This batch includes Oats, .nutrition Whey Protein, Collagen, Chief Creatine, Sheep Greek Yoghurt, chia seeds and h**p seeds.

No dried fruit. The oats provide plenty of carbohydrates on their own.

The recipe is in this week’s newsletter, so keep an eye on your inbox.

One of the biggest nutrition mistakes I see women making is not eating enough protein at breakfast.

Many breakfasts are heavily based on carbohydrates. Think toast, cereal, muesli, fruit or porridge on its own.

The problem is that these breakfasts often don’t contain enough protein to support healthy blood sugar levels, keep us satisfied for long, or provide the nutrients our bodies need as we age.

Protein helps maintain muscle mass, supports metabolism, keeps blood sugar levels more stable and helps keep us fuller for longer.

That’s why I encourage women to start with protein when planning breakfast and build from there.

This morning it was Good Fish wild caught sardines in olive oil, parsley and avo on nonie's activated charcoal bread.

Not everyone’s idea of breakfast, I know 😆 but sardines are packed with protein, omega-3 fats, calcium, vitamin D and B12.

So tomorrow morning, instead of asking “What’s for breakfast?” try asking:

“Where’s the protein?”

Update: Great news! The van has been located thanks to a tip off from the BP staff in Batemans Bay and the local police. It’s a little worse for wear but nothing that can’t be fixed.

Thank you everyone for your help. What a wonderful community we live and work in. ❤️

EDIT: Vehicle seen at 10am at BP in Batemans Bay. More recently in Moruya.

Our van has just been stolen from outside our store. If you see it, can you please let us know asap? Thank you.

You have to try these Maple Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies from

These cookies were a hit at our place.

They’re made with oats, dark chocolate chips, maple syrup and peanut butter.

I used our freshly ground organic peanut butter from our nut butter mill in store. It’s made from Australia’s only organic peanuts and contains nothing but peanuts.

Once people try this peanut butter, they almost always come back with a bigger jar next time 😜.

Bring your own jar or grab one of ours and grind as much or as little as you need.

The recipe comes from Cookie + Kate if you’d like to give them a try: https://cookieandkate.com/peanut-butter-oatmeal-cookies-recipe/
