I've entered The Burpee Challenge with Active Health (one of my internships for Clinical Exercise Physiology).

We're participating to help raise money for the Cancer Rehabilitation Foundation Pinc & Steel - to provide support for those who are recovering from cancer. Funding supports their return to the everyday tasks we often take for granted, and also the activities they enjoy.

The challenge takes place early October, every dollar equals one burpee. So make us do loads by adding a donation 💚

Your joints are aching. You've Googled it. Someone told you to cut out dairy. Someone else said nightshades. Now you don't know what to eat. 😅

Here's what the research actually says: there's no single magic anti-inflammatory food... but there IS a pattern of eating that consistently reduces inflammation over time.

I wrote a blog breaking it all down, including whether dairy and nightshades are actually worth worrying about

Can diet help reduce inflammation? Learn which foods support a healthy inflammatory response, what the research says, and why sustainable habits matter most.

$1.18 and it's providing more variety than the veggies I prepped to put in this meal.
Chucking a can of home brand 5 beans into your trolley each week is the secret to adding five different plant sources into your diet. without changing up what you typically eat!
The more variety of plants we have in our diet each week, the healthier we become, and you don't have to give up the foods you love to get there.
Just chuck a can of these babies into your favourite meals and your body will love you for it.
Low cost, filled with protein, fibre, and a range of different micronutrients.
Can you think of one meal you could add them into to up the variety?

My newest blog is live 🙌
It talks about practical things you can do to support your mental health, with realistic advice on setting achievable goals and avoiding overwhelm.

I hope it encourages you to choose just one habit to focus on this week. Small, consistent changes may not feel like much at the time, but they can add up to meaningful improvements over time.

What helps depression? While there is no quick fix, lifestyle factors like sleep, nutrition, exercise, and connection can all support mental health alongside professional care.

White bread and butter - yes
Whitebait fritters and crayfish cooked in butter - also yes
A pint of hazy on a sunny day - absolutely!
When I'm out socially, I eat freely.
No tracking, no guilt, just enjoying the moment (and the kaimoana).
How I balance it:
I aim to eat as many different plants as I can when preparing my own meals.
For me -I don't mind having a salad for breakfast then hot chips with my mates for dinner.
I don't do it every day, but I don't beat myself up about it either because I balance it out 🫶
This is what works for me, but you might need different goals altogether.
So if you think I'll make you feel bad for enjoying the treats you choose, you might be pleasantly surprised.
