Uncategorised

18 Jun

This Grain-Free Raw Bircher Muesli recipe is a full complement of complete proteins, complex carbohydrates and healthy fats. It is even better as it sits and allow for the ingredients to mingle! To increase the plant-based protein content even further, try adding a few tablespoons of protein powder.

2 cups of hemp milk or any non-diary milk
1 cup of shredded apple
1 cup of chopped nuts
1 tablespoon of chia seeds
1 teaspoon of cinnamon
1 dash of nutmeg
1 teaspoon of vanilla
1 tablespoon of lucuma (optional)
4 drops of stevia (optional)

Instructions
To make the hemp milk blend 2 cups of water with 6 tbsp of Hemp Seeds for 60 seconds or just use any non-dairy milk like almond.
Mix all ingredients together in a bowl and let stand for at least 30 minutes but it is best overnight.
Topping Ideas: nuts, goji berries, a dash of cinnamon, hemp seeds

You don’t need expensive “superfoods” to support y You don’t need expensive “superfoods” to support your health. These are five simple foods I eat almost every day because they’re backed by science and easy to incorporate into real life.

🫐 Blueberries – rich in anthocyanins that support brain health and help combat oxidative stress.

🍋 Lemons – a great source of vitamin C, which is essential for collagen production and immune function.

🌾 Psyllium husk – one of the most evidence-based fibres for supporting gut health, healthy cholesterol levels, and blood sugar balance.

🥛 Fermented foods – help nourish the gut microbiome and have been shown to increase microbial diversity while reducing inflammatory markers.

🥒 Cucumbers (and other high-water, low-calorie foods) – support hydration, add volume to meals, and can help increase fullness.

Small, consistent habits often outperform complicated nutrition plans.

Save this post for your next grocery shop and let me know—which of these do you already eat every day?

I’d scroll through Instagram seeing women with str I’d scroll through Instagram seeing women with strong, sculpted physiques & at the same time, be inspired & frustrated…

Why not me?

And I realized: 
I didn’t actually want the process. I wanted the result.

But I wasn’t willing to look honestly at what the process required.

The years of progressive strength training.
Learning how to actually fuel my body instead of guessing.
Building muscle slowly before it ever shows up visually.
Showing up.
Unlearning years of quick-fix thinking.

There’s a line from Atomic Habits that stops you in your tracks:

“To crave the result but not the process is to guarantee disappointment.”

We want the strong, lean, defined body, but don’t want to lift with intention & patience for years to build & see it.

High-performing women understand effort in every other area of life.

But health doesn’t respond to intensity.
It responds to consistency.

If you want a result that most people don’t have, you have fundamentally change who you are.

Be honest… are you chasing the result or committed to the process right now?

One of the biggest changes I’ve made recently? Swa One of the biggest changes I’ve made recently?
Swapping some of my long, steady-state cardio sessions for Norwegian 4x4 intervals.

The workout is simple:
➡️ 4 minutes hard effort
➡️ 3 minutes recovery
➡️ Repeat 4 times

Why I love it:
✔️ Improves VO₂ max (one of the strongest predictors of longevity and cardiovascular health)
✔️ Improves aerobic fitness and endurance
✔️ Time efficient — done in about 40 minutes
✔️ Helps support heart health and healthy aging
✔️ Leaves more time for strength training and recovery

A 2024 study found that the Norwegian 4x4 protocol significantly improved VO₂ max compared to moderate-intensity training.

At 47, I’m less interested in burning calories & more interested in building a stronger body, better fitness & long-term health.

Have you tried Norwegian 4x4s?

This week’s midlife glow-up favourites ✨ And hone This week’s midlife glow-up favourites ✨

And honestly? Most of them start with getting enough protein.

One of the biggest game changers for my energy, body composition, cravings, and strength has been prioritizing a solid protein hit first thing in the morning — and making sure my snacks support my goals too.

And the 5th favourite? A good exfoliator 👏

Because glowing skin in midlife is both internal and external.

Protein + skincare + consistency = the real glow-up.

Comment “glow” if you want my fav exfoliators 💛
