Juicing with Turmeric

Posted on March 17, 2017 by Kate

After whining about not being able to find turmeric root (although I hadn’t exactly gone out my way to find it), a friend who regularly goes to her local market picked me up a couple of roots for me. Having read a lot about the anti-inflammatory properties of turmeric, I wanted to give it a…

Beet Boost

Posted on January 5, 2017January 21, 2017 by Kate

I recently grabbed a ‘boost’ juice from Benugo and I loved the concept of having a mini pick-me-up shot of goodness. Sometimes I struggle with fibrous foods and juicing is a sure way of getting those nutrients in. So I took the elements of the Benugo boost shot I had (beetroot lemon and ginger), mixed…

IBD Awareness Week 2016

Posted on December 2, 2016 by Kate

This week (1-7th December) Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) advocates are making the condition visible for IBD Awareness Week. I am writing this after having a nap this afternoon and while this isn’t unusual for a student (it still feels weird writing that again), there isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t have to…

Opening the backdoor to vulnerable communities

Posted on January 29, 2016 by Kate

Eat to Heal

Posted on January 8, 2016January 8, 2016 by Kate

Community can be part of our healing

Posted on January 3, 2016 by Kate

“Most chronic disease is very often a social disease and not just a problem of biology” We are so fortunate to be living in such a well-connected society that building communities does not necessarily mean we have to be geographically placed close to others. Through social media (particularly Instagam and Twitter) I have met some…

Happy Gut for 2016!

Posted on January 2, 2016January 2, 2016 by Kate

I’m welcoming 2016 with open arms, not that 2015 was bad or anything… So come December I really started to think about making positive changes in my life and if you follow me on Instagram, you might have noticed a sudden spike in activity (especially with the food pics). I haven’t ever been shy about…
