While we’d love to be able to provide one-on-one consultations to everyone suffering from IBS, SIBO, constipation, diarrhea and other digestive conditions, we know that is not humanly possible. So, we decided to invest a lot of time and effort into creating in depth but easy to understand blog articles on many of the key concepts related to what our clients need to know. We sincerely hope these blog posts help you with your gut healing journey.

Looking for a cooling summer sweet treat to share at your next gathering? Then I have a minty-fresh option that is chilled, light and delicious. Did I mention it's paleo and vegan? So no grains, gluten, legumes, dairy or eggs in this one. This choc mint slice is great for all of the gut-healers out there and will take you next to no time to prepare using only a blender. Enjoy this slice for dessert on a hot and steamy summers day.
Read MoreIf you're looking for a sweet treat on Christmas morning that will feed the whole family, including those with digestive issues, then look no further than this Paleo-AIP friendly Apple Berry Crumble. It's grain, dairy, legume, egg, nightshade, nut and seed-free and has also been husband tested, passing with flying colours!
Read MoreThis is probably one of the simplest, and most delicious dessert recipes you can make this summer. And the good news? It's gluten free and vegan! Great for all of the gut-healers out there, or for those who want a sweet treat, without all the refined sugar. This freezer cake works well at a warm summer BBQ or in our case, my brother's 30th birthday bash. I hope you enjoy eating it as much as we did!
Read MoreChia puddings for breakfast anyone? If I have a hectic week ahead, pre-made chia puddings or smoothies are my go-to brekky of choice. Prep them with your favourite fruits on Sunday and you are good to go for the week!
Read MoreIf life gives you lemons, make a paleo lemon tart! There is a lot of love for all things lemon in our family. Particularly the baked goods variety. This recipe needs a fair bit of honey and coconut sugar so it's not recommended for anyone with inflammation or who is in the early phases of a gut healing protocol. But it is gluten and dairy free, paleo and SCD-friendly, so for everyone else, eat up!
Read MoreAnother celebration means another recipe creation! It was Father's Day here in Australia over the weekend just gone and Dad requested a challenge - Hummingbird Cake with lots of thick and creamy icing... So I delivered the gluten-free, dairy-free, egg-free, low-FODMAP and vegan version - just 'cause you're gut healing, doesn't mean you can't eat cake! And of course, it had to be delicious - Dad has a sweet tooth, after all.
Read MoreWe were back on the gluten, dairy and egg-free baking bandwagon this week for my gorgeous Mumma's birthday - cupcakes were her request. We came up with a recipe that can be modified for the jaffa or espresso lovers out there. Or, you can just make them both!
Read MoreI am a sucker for the challenge of gluten, dairy and egg-free baking, creating options for my clients who are on gut-healing protocols. So, the next delicacy I wanted to conquer is the chewy and moist oatmeal cookie alternative that helps heal your gut with the addition of gelatin. I like mine plain and simple with... a turmeric latte of course!
Read MoreRock-cakes suck. And when it comes to allergy-friendly baking, it’s not just the gluten-free flour making life difficult. Whether you’re vegan, allergic or intolerant, baking without eggs is a challenge for achieving the right taste and texture that will test even the most seasoned master chef. But it’s a challenge that can be won. So I wanted to share everything I’ve learnt over the last decade, through trial and (lots of) error to make the transition to egg-free baking an enjoyable and eggcellent experience!
Read MoreIt is safe to say that pancakes are by far my favourite breakfast food. Growing up, we would hit Mum up for pancakes at all special occasions - birthdays, christmas, school holidays, weekends, hump day, Fridays... This basically meant that I had to nail a gluten, dairy and egg-free recipe ASAP. Here is an oldie, but a goodie, the world's easiest allergy-friendly pancake recipe.
Read MoreTwo parts science, one part ancient medicine and whole lot of parts deliciousness, turmeric lattes are my new favourite healthy alternative to the old evening hot chocolate. And maybe for some, a valid rival for coffee? Too far? Usually I’m not big on hot drinks, a hang up from growing up in muggy Queensland, but I found a new love recently when we were in chilly Sydney that HAD to be re-created.
Read MoreI am a firm believer that everything should come in chocolate flavour, so the chia pudding received a make-over and it is chocolicious! Whip these banana choc chia puddings up for easy snacking during the week.
Read MoreI've been snacking on bliss balls for a few years now when we travel. I whip up a huge batch the night before we leave and stash them in my carry on bag. If you use all plant-based products then there is no need to refrigerate. They last around 5 days if kept in a sealed freezer bag. Try these for your next trip!
Read MoreSo this week I’m officially a little older and, apparently, a little wiser… After MANY attempts at perfecting this recipe, taste-testings and random weekend bake-offs, I am so excited to share with you my new favourite gut-friendly treat: chocolate birthday cake brownies!
Read MoreChicken nuggets were a winner for dinner when I was growing up - anything you could dunk into sauce and eat with your fingers was my kinda meal. Only problem was, our chicken nuggets came from a frozen box with a generous serving of additives and random ingredients I couldn't pronounce. So it was decided... chicken nuggets needed to be health-ified! I absolutely love the simplicity of this recipe and they taste divine so tuck in (with your fingers, of course!)
Read MoreEasy-peasy lunch coming right up! Who doesn't love a fresh and crispy lettuce wrap sprinkled with smokey paprika? Yep, my paprika obsession continues..... Give this a go!
Read MoreIf you need a tasty afternoon pick-me-up, you must make these vanilla almond muffins immediately! They are superbly moist and fluffy, low carb and high in healthy fats from nuts and coconut. The perfect snack when you feel like something healthy and natural to satisfy your sweet cravings.
Read MoreFor all of the pasta lovers out there, I have a treat for you! Here is a health-ified version of an Italiano style favourite; creamy Carbonara. You can have this one on the table in 30 minutes so your tastebuds are in for a speedy treat...
Read MoreIntroducing my new obsession just in time for Easter- CHOCO-COCO BARK! Super low in carbs and a boost of good quality fats, this little melt-in-your-mouth morsel is an all round winner for healthy eaters at Easter.
Read MoreAfter an incredible birthday celebration in Marrakech last weekend, I developed a love affair with the taste-sensation that is tagine. Such a delicious and nutritious way to include copious amounts of veggies, animal-based protein (can be created meat-free) and a decent dose of healthy fats into one perfect meal! Not to mention the flavours are so unique that they transport me back to Morocco every time I open my kitchen cupboard and smell the aromas of a tagine spice mix we found. Are you ready for a super simple Moroccan delight?
