Protein is made up of building blocks called amino acids. Your child's body uses these to repair their muscles, produce hormones, stabilise blood sugar levels, provide energy and much more! There’s a misconception that children can’t get enough plant-based protein. When people think of protein, the foods that come to mind first are typically sources such as chicken, fish and red meats. However, it is definitely possible to get enough quality protein on a plant-based diet, either as a vegetarian or vegan. A varied diet rich in vegetables, whole grains, legumes, soy, nuts and seeds can provide the amino acids their body...

Your child's body relies on iron in red blood cells to carry oxygen to all their cells. Without enough iron, red blood cells will be unable to supply enough oxygen. If you suspect your child is experiencing an iron deficiency, a blood test checking ferritin levels will measure the amount of stored iron in the body, which will give an overall picture of iron levels.   What is Ferritin? Ferritin isn’t the same thing as iron. Instead, ferritin is a protein that stores iron, releasing it when the body needs it. Ferritin usually lives in the body’s cells, with very little actually circulating in...

Natural Immunity Natural immunity also known as innate immunity or non-specific immunity is a mechanical barrier and the first line of defence against bad bacteria . It involves spontaneous and rapid immune response using molecules that are designed to know whether a dangerous invader is present, rather than long lasting protection. It is the protection provided by the skin, respiratory tract (lungs) and in the gut wall. For example, actions such as coughing and sneezing are the immune system’s way of expelling the virus or bacteria from the nose and throat . Tears clear the eyes of dust and other irritants,...

It can be surprising to find out how much sugar is hidden in some of the popular beverages kids love to drink.  And we mistakenly think these drinks are a nutritious choice for our children to enjoy. How to work out how much sugar is in your child's favourite drink A good way to determine how much sugar is in your child's favourite drink is to look at the nutritional panel.  4 grams of sugar is equivalent to 1 teaspoon. Examples of Sugar Content in popular drinks Each one of the samples listed below contains up to 8 teaspoons of sugar: ✅ Soda/soft drinks ✅ Flavoured milk  ✅...

The amount of sugar consumed, especially by our children is at its highest levels in history.    This can mostly be attributed to the enormous increase in processed food and sugary drinks lining supermarket shelves.  Sugar is included as an ingredient in most pre-packaged, processed and junk food and it’s insidious.  As a result, as our children’s sugar consumption has increased, so have their rates of common childhood illnesses, including obesity with 1 in 4 children now classified as overweight or obese.     If you notice that your child’s temperament changes throughout the day, beginning with their adorable ‘normal’ behaviour which can...

To keep your child’s health in tip-top shape make sure these foods are on their plate every day to either heal their leaky-gut or prevent it from becoming leaky in the first place.                   FOOD                                 BENEFITS Grass-fed Meat Meat from grass-fed animals contains healthy fats called omega-3 oils.  These fats help to reduce inflammation throughout the body to support a leak-proof gut wall and they also have amazing properties to support healthy brain function.  Additional benefits of feeding your child protein (meat) is it supports their growing process and builds strong muscles.  Protein also keeps them fuller for longer and stops the urge to...

  You may think you are buying ‘healthy’ food when you see catch phrases on packaged food such as; ✅ Low fat ✅ Low calorie ✅ All natural ✅ Energy boosting ✅ Sugar-free ✅ Good source of fibre ✅ Multi-grain ✅ Antioxidants ✅ No trans-fats ✅ Sports drink   However, be aware when reading these cleverly marketed slogans because the information is often misleading.   Learning the ground rules to understand the information on nutritional panels is the only way to decipher what is in the product and this can also be confusing.  The best approach is to compare similar brands alternatives to select the healthiest choice for your child.  The only way to match up...

I recently did the class (Building Healthier Kids). Not only was the content fascinating it was been incredibly useful on my journey to healing my son's gut. My son started to develop mild autistic symptoms when he was 18 months old and I'm so excited to say that since following Fiona's tips and recipes. I have already seen an improvement in his behaviour. Fiona has been really helpful answering all the questions I've had too. Could not recommend the class more! Thank you! S.A.
