As a Functional Nutrition Academy Graduate I have taken my first group through the First Steps to Change program, implemented a First Steps to Cultured Foods workshop and have a second one lined up as a part of a community building project run through a library.
The skills and knowledge I have gained throughout the 12 modules have provided me with the foundation to help people to make sustainable steps, creating changes in their lives to begin to look at what food really is, to question everything that goes in and on their bodies and be empowered to take back the drivers seat in their lives. I feel that I am now equipped to take the confusion out of what really is “healthy”, how to start making changes and to look for individualised eating and lifestyle plans to boost energy, improve sleep and manage our stress levels.
With my Education background I can’t wait to change the audience that I am teaching and help to increase the health and performance of our nation. It all begins with one change and a desire for more.
Loving you, loving me

You`ve heard the saying `you can`t pour from an empty cup` but do we really internalise it? This year, try committing to yourself the way you want to commit to your partner, children, work, or wider community.
It all sounds complicated, but to your body it`s an inherent and automatic part of the process, its innate! We can use language to understand what`s going on in our bodies and explain the magic of the system that keeps us alive.

If your goals this year include managing your weight, don`t turn to laboratory-made shakes, make your own! Cyndi suggests blending an egg and some fruit together for a protein boost, or high-satiety fruit likes apples, bananas and avocados blended with Greek yoghurt and water. Low ingredients and high nutrition is ideal if you`re looking to chase good health.
To all of our students, how can we support your studying journey this year? Let us know below!
It is a phenomenon for humans to find novelty and newness inspiring. This `temporal interruption` of the daily drudge inspires us to change our life, but you can change your life in any way and any time you want. You have the power over your own life, not the flip of a calendar.
You may think the food you ate or the way you lived five years ago should not have an effect on how you live now, but unfortunately the body is too clever for that. This is one reason why consistency of good habits and good health is even more important than perfection or fad diets.
Foraging is an amazing skill that many people should learn for a variety of reasons. Have you had much experience with `living off the land`?
