Leptin 101: How This ‘Hunger Hormone’ May Be Preventing You From Losing Weight
[Updated August 2019] What is Leptin? Leptin is a hormone secreted by fat cells in…
Making gut healing and nourishing food easy and delicious for the everyday person is what I’m passionate about.
Since graduating from the Functional Nutrition Course I have especially loved running live interactive workshops in my Western Sydney community on fermenting and gluten-free wholefood cooking.
It is an honour to be sharing my story, passion, tips and the knowledge gained in the course to help inspire and empower others to make food and lifestyle changes to improve their health and moods.
I used to think I was healthy and what I was feeding my family was healthy. I just thought my symptoms were ‘normal’ for me, or just part of getting older or part of being a woman. Headaches, PMS symptoms and pain, regular colds, sinus, back pain, low moods, getting cranky when hungry, a muffin top and some extra kilos.
I used to eat what we are ‘told’ is healthy – low fat versions of everything and lots of ‘healthy’ whole-grains.
After a family crisis and lots of little nudges from the universe I finally answered the wake up call and decided to stand up and take responsibility for my family’s health and healing. I empowered myself with knowledge and then took ACTION step-by-step.
Making food and lifestyle changes has been profound. All my symptoms have gone! Yes even my headaches and the emotional monthly rollercoaster and painful cramps. I’ve lost weight by eating fat with no additional exercise and no counting calories or carbs! Brain fog has lifted; sleep is sounder and energy levels sustained.
Most importantly I’m a much happier and calmer MUM for my son!!
I’m loving this version of ‘normal’ SOOOO much more!
I would love others to know that a better normal really is possible. Knowledge is empowering! Action is life changing! Wellness is bliss.

Evolutionarily, anxiety has a place in our bodies, but not every day, and not all the time. If you`re constantly struggling with anxiety, try slowing life down and doing something anathema to the sensation of running from a tiger!

Whether you`re pursuing veganism for your health, for animal welfare or for the planet, we can surely all agree that these products are not the better option than real food.
Keen to see the ingredients on this `food?`. Keep an eye out!

We really wanted to share this message with our students because, like Cyndi, many of you may face push back from people who don`t understand what you`re striving for. Historically, strides in science have come about from people pushing the boundaries of what is known and accepted already. Keep going with what you`re doing!
