Losing Weight ≠ Getting Healthy
I was at a party recently. There were many women there around my age. This…
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.

If motivation has never worked for you in the past, it`s because your motivation hasn`t transformed into intrinsic movement in your life. If you want to welcome a change into your life, scaffold it to the structure you`ve already created. And remember to be patient and keep trying.
Metabolism isn`t a mysterious process that happens in the body, where you wish it would go faster, or maybe go slower. We can follow the physical processes that happen in the body to create the metabolic effect through metabolimics!
Invest in good health for you and your family with The Nutrition Academy.

After recording this, Cyndi said "the sunglasses thing will really get them!". Did this video change your perspective on the sun, sun protection and tanning in summer?
This short clip is from a video years ago where Cyndi was talking about skin care, and an interesting perspective many of us may not have thought about. What products do you wash into the waterways going swimming, showering, cleaning your house and washing your dishes?
Although we can`t be there, we are super excited to be sponsoring Nourishing Australia`s Summit on November 1st in Sydney. If you can get to Sydney on Saturday 1st November, use code Cyndi20 to get 20% off ticket prices and have your questions answered! Purchase your tickets via Humanitix or via the link in our bio!
Getting older doesn`t mean getting weaker, sicker, more tired or less independent: how you treat your body NOW will impact how you feel as you age. Don`t wait for the symptoms of old age to catch you before taking care of your health, start today!
As Cyndi has said in a reel before, it is wrong to think of yourself as separate from the world and separate from each component of yourself. The phytochemicals found in plants helps protect the human body from disease, inflammation and illness. How amazing is the system we`re a part of?
Slow and steady wins the race when it comes to your health!
Even when the dietary guidelines tell you something, corporations will still act in pursuit of profit and nothing else. If you are feeding your baby formula, make sure you`re taking the time to read the ingredients and find an option that works for you.
