My body used to rule my life - until I discovered nutritional therapy. Now I want to help everyone go on their journey to living their best life.

I am Charlotte, an ankylosing spondylitis (autoimmune disease) sufferer, a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner, adventurer and food lover.

Do you:

  • have an autoimmune disease

  • live life in constant pain (joints, headaches, rashes, periods)

  • suffer with low energy or poor sleep

  • struggle with brain fog that just won’t shift

  • have issues with your periods

  • find it difficult to get pregnant

  • simply wonder what to eat in this confusing keto / paleo / vegan world?!

If any of these are you - rebalancing your body through nutritional therapy could benefit you and I can explain more in a 30 minute free Discovery Call.

I want to hear about what you are struggling with, your story and let you know about how I could help you.

....DON'T DOWNGRADE YOUR DREAM TO MATCH REALITY.....

I am back in England my home land at the moment to catch up with friends and family - but most importantly to celebrate my amazing Dad’s 70th birthday. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Family meals are a big thing in my family and to celebrate birthdays we always start the day with breakfast whilst opening cards and presents - using a special birthday table cloth which my Mum has from her childhood - yes a probably traditional English family! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Supported by nutrient dense whole food #chillandnourish approved breakfast of course. Not a ‘normal’ breakfast of cereal, low fat milk and orange juice. Instead one of healthy proteins, fats and carbohydrates which sets you up for success for the day and doesn't send your blood sugar rocketing. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Happy Birthday Daddy (from a few weeks ago). You rock my world! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #family #breakfast #happybirthday #70 #england #familytraditions #wholefoodproperlyprepared #healthyfats #wholefoodcarbohydrates #realfood #nourish #baconisback #pasturefedeggs #greens #eatyourdinnerforbreakfast #properlyprepared #organic #nourishyourself #bloodsugarbalancing #englishbreakfast #healthyenglishbreakfasts #holistichealth #familytime #community #setselfupforsuccess
‘Me Time’ 🌿☀️⛰💗 🇨🇭 . Yesterday I hiked 22k through the Swiss Alps. Apart from my camera and the map on my phone, I dissociated from technology and others and had some ME time. I admired the stunning views, listened to the sounds of the country side -namely the Swiss Cows with the bells round their neck - and just contemplated. . I am back in Europe at the moment to see family and friends, celebrate birthdays, meet new arrivals, go opera festivals and more! It is AMAZING to see everyone and I am having so much fun exploring new places and just hanging out and reconnecting with people who mean a huge amount. . I have learnt from experience over the last few years that even though I’d love to fill my day to the brim, it’s important to leave some time spare and be with just me. To make sure I am appreciating how great it is to be home, what I want to be doing and more. . Through my initial journey with Ankylosing Spondylitis, I learnt to protect myself from the pain and stiffness, the frustration of having an autoimmune disease which stopped me living my life and more. I did this my disconnecting from myself feeling, pretending everything was ok. A self perpetuating spiral which rippled into all of life. Luckily - I people I have met on my journey have made me realise that this is not the way to be. . It’s good to feel, and step by step I have learnt to reconnect with me. The happiness in my life and also the pain, sadness and all the other emotions that may arise. It’s still a learning curve and being a type A personality I really have to make an effort to stop and recognise what’s going on. Normally I journal, meditate or just sit and chill which I try and do every day. But I must say hiking is an amazing alternative and I will certainly getting out more to do this over the coming months. . Here is to more exploring above the clouds ⛅️ 😊 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #metime #contemplation #feeling #meditation #stopandfeel #holistichealth #ankylosingspondylitis #autoimmune #hiking
These went down a treat yesterday at an afternoon tea to discuss a nutrition / autoimmune related charity venture. Rustled up in no time at all and approved by those who don't eat a diet like me. Always a good sign!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ People think you are limited eating what I like to call a whole food diet. In fact people often think I am mad. Absolutely not. You just have to learn to do things a little different to what you learn was normal when you grew up. Over time it becomes habit and just like normal and just as - if not even more - delicious.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ These were banana and raspberries muffins. Can be eaten cold and even better heated up. They are dairy, gluten and refined sugar free with the major sources of carbohydrates being 2 bananas and 2 tablespoons of honey for the whole mixture. They take about an hour to make from start to finish.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Fancy making them? Use the link above and head to the recipe section of my website. Let me know how they go! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #bananamuffins #bananabread #healthybaking #glutenfree #dairyfree #grainfree #refinedsugarfree #grainfree #nutrientdense #raspberries #organic #fridaybaking #wholefood #realfood #nutritionaltherapy #autoimmune #ankylosingspondylitis #foundations #buildingblocks #nutritionist #holistichealth #sydneynutrition
People often ask me what diet I follow - the answer "nutrient dense, whole foods that is properly prepared" . Within this - apart from avoiding gluten, dairy and refined sugar, there are no limits.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It is about what works for me right now. And that is different to what works a few days / months / years ago and will work tomorrow.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Paleo, keto, carnivore, vegan, vegetarian etc There are so many 'diet' options now. Each with apparently amazing health benefits which can makes life so confusing. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Some of these diets can be great. But they also can be full of food that is not nutrient dense, whole food that isn’t properly prepared. It contains adverse ingredients even though it is low carb for example.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So what to go for?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Whole foods as the basis. Meat, fish, fruit, vegetables, good quality fat. And dialling down on the processed food. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It is then about listening to what food your body feels like and then sitting down and enjoying your food whilst you eat and seeing how it makes us feel. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ How many times do you get to the end of a meal and you can't say what was in it! That needs to change!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ If you could listen to the answers your body is giving you in response to food and use that to guide you it can take you a long way on your journey to thriving. Did it feel good? Did it feel not so good? Am I still hungry? And then go from there. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ As I keep talking about our bodies are very clever - we just have to learn to listen to the message. We all are at different stages with our health and life and we are all from different parts of this planet - there is not supposed to be one perfect way of eating. Do you!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ And thank you @7seedscoffee for this amazing takeaway lunch that is entirely in line with my philosophy. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #wholefoodsproperlyprepared #carnivore #keto #paleo #vegan #vegetarian #dietconfusion #nutritionaltherapist #takeaway #melbournecafe #eggs #vegetables #listentoyourbody #innateintelligence #sydneynutritionist #holistichealth #takecontrol #biodividuality
