🌿 Spring has officially entered the chat. 🌿

The sun is shining, the kookaburras are singing, and yesterday and today have been absolutely glorious. So naturally, I made a lunch that felt very spring.

🥗 Chicken, pesto, pumpkin & zucchini salad

I tossed together:
• Free-range chicken tenderloins
• Baby spinach
• Roasted pumpkin + zucchini
• Basil pesto
• Pumpkin seeds + h**p seeds for extra protein, zinc & magnesium
• Danish feta, because… yum
• 100% rye bread on the side

I roasted the pumpkin and zucchini in the air fryer until they were cooked to my liking, then cooked the chicken in the other air fryer. Because yes, I have two air fryers. 😂

Then everything gets tossed together with a generous spoonful of pesto.

And then… my peri brain struck.

I FORGOT THE CHICKPEAS. 🤦🏼‍♀️

Which would have been perfect in this salad. Extra fibre, extra plant protein and a lovely source of fermentable goodness for your gut bugs, if you tolerate legumes well.

And honestly, you can put basil pesto on just about anything and it’s going to taste bloody delicious.

The 100% rye bread was also a deliberate addition. Rye is a great source of fibre and contains carbohydrates that can help support a healthy gut microbiome, so I love including it alongside a meal like this.

And then we have the real stars of the post…

Maggie judging my lunch.

Milo hoping my lunch is somehow his lunch.

And finally… Milo holding Maggie’s paw. 🥹

Honestly, I can’t cope.

Spring, sunshine, a nourishing lunch and two little food thieves. Happy days. 💚

This might be a controversial opinion as a clinical nutritionist, but I’m not here to help women become endlessly productive machines for everyone around them.

I’m not sitting in consults thinking,
“How do we get you functioning at 100% so you can keep pouring from an empty cup?”

I’m thinking:
How do we help you feel better?
How do we support your energy, your brain, your body, your quality of life?

Because women are so often praised for self-sacrifice.
For pushing through.
For holding everyone else together while quietly falling apart themselves.

And yes, many of the women I work with are mothers.
But in clinic, I also see the woman behind the role.
The nervous system running on fumes.
The exhaustion.
The resentment.
The loss of self.

Supporting women’s health shouldn’t only matter because she gives to others.
It should matter because she matters.

That’s the hill I’ll die on.

Gut health doesn’t need to be complicated, but it does need consistency.

These are the habits I come back to in clinic again and again. Regular meals, a variety of fibres, and actually sitting down to eat instead of rushing through it. Simple, yes. But this is where things either start to improve or stay stuck.

Most people aren’t doing it “wrong”
they’re just inconsistent or skipping the foundations.

If your gut’s been all over the place lately, this is where I’d start.

I know it’s the language we hear every autumn. Boost this, boost that, take this supplement and you’ll “fight off everything.” And honestly, it sh*ts me to tears.

But your immune system isn’t something you want to overstimulate. An overactive immune response is not the goal. What you actually want is a well regulated, well supported immune system that can respond appropriately when needed.

And that doesn’t come from a quick fix. It comes from the basics done consistently.

Enough sleep. Regular, nourishing meals. Foods rich in key nutrients like vitamin A, vitamin C, zinc, and adequate protein. Supporting your gut. Eating warm, cooked meals that are easier to digest this time of year.

It’s not sexy, but it works.

Support your body properly, and it will do what it’s designed to do.

What’s one thing you’re focusing on this autumn?
