The Antidote to Your Child's Sugar Hangover

, ,

It struck me this morning that children have hangovers too....

Sugar hangovers.

Yesterday was my daughter's birthday party.  And whilst the menu was about as grain-free, refined sugar free as could possibly be,  we all still had a healthy sugar overdose from the birthday cake, almond-meal chocolate chip cookies, popcorn and delicious date-sweetened pomegranate-lime juice.

The Amazing Nerdy Popsicle

, ,

What if I told you that there was a popsicle out there that could:

  • calm your kids down after school but boost their energy;
  • optimize their learning by fuelling the memory centres in their brain;
  • keep their immune system strong to fight off illnesses; and
  • taste delicious!

When the Antibiotic Doesn't Work...

, ,

Okay. This is what happened: After 5 days of the antibiotic Augmentin (amoxicillin), my daughter was still complaining that her ear hurt and her hearing had not improved.

So -- back to the doctor we went and he referred us to an Ear Nose & Throat specialist.

My Child is on Antibiotics. Now What?

, ,

My oldest daughter started complaining of ear pain last week and by the time I was able to take her to the doctor a few days later, she could barely hear out of one ear.  I tried the garlic oil drops, oregano oil drops...I used my whole arsenal on her.  But guess what? Her hearing wasn't getting any better and she continued to complain of pain.   I'm a nutritionist but I also get scared when healing doesn't happen as fast as I want it to, especially when my daughter's hearing is at stake

#IKILLEDMYSUGARBEAST BOOTCAMP: ARE YOU READY?

, ,

Today is my birthday.  And I feel better than I have in years!   Why?  Because last summer I killed my Sugar Beast.  And the sweet freedom I have experienced since then has been life changing.

It Is Possible to Be Free of PMS

, , , ,

Ever wondered what that time of the month would be like if you didn't get PMS?  

What if I told you IT IS POSSIBLE to be free of PMS?

The vast majority of women suffer from PMS relief because - unbeknownst to them - they are unable to eliminate excess estrogen from their body

But I'm on the Coil not the Pill....

, , ,

I hear this a fair bit:

"I didn't want to take hormones so I chose the coil instead."  

There are two types of coils:  the copper and the hormone coil.  I'm just going to touch on the hormone coil, a.k.a. the Mirena.

We Have to Start Educating Our Daughters About Birth Control

, ,

I'm all for birth control. And what you choose to do is between you, your partner and your doctor.  As a nutritionist, I'm just here to support you nutritionally.  But, the hormonal & nutritional side effects of the Birth Control Pill (BCP) are not well explained to the general female population of users.  And the majority of women start a hormonal birth control protocol when they are teenagers.
