🌟Wired but tired? Why your cortisol clock may be out of sync🌟
Are you part of the up-all-night club? Do you lie awake with your mind racing, then feel shattered all day, only to repeat the same pattern the following night?

Feeling wired at night and tired all day can be a sign that your cortisol clock is out of sync. Over time, this can leave you exhausted and frazzled, while also taking a toll on your immune system.

Thankfully, what you eat and some targeted supplements may help support a healthier daily rhythm, so you sleep better at night and feel more energised during the day.

If you feel like an exhausted zombie most of the day, and you are fed up with feeling tired all the time, despite going to bed early and resting, then the answer might be focusing more on your nutrition, which I can certainly vouch for.

For me in my early 20s, it was changing my diet and taking a few focused supplements that pulled me out of a seven-year state of chronic fatigue. Within only 10 days of making these changes I went from napping several times a day to having all the energy to maintain a full-time job, study, exercise and have a social life. That rapid and positive change in my energy level was so profound, and it was that transformation that motivated me to study nutrition and build my career as a naturopath over the past 30 years.

🍜Vietnamese Pho Noodle Soup🍜
A Vietnamese pho is a warming bowl of broth gently infused with ginger, garlic and fragrant spices, then loaded with chicken, mushrooms, greens and rice noodles.

It makes a wonderful family meal, and I love putting all of the colourful garnishes on the table and letting everyone finish their own bowl. It makes supper feel rather special, while allowing your children to choose the toppings that they fancy.

The spices are also soothing when you have the sniffles or you need a tummy comforting one-bowl meal.

This recipe is just as scrummy as it looks and it’s in tonight’s Healthy Bites ⬇️

🎣Portuguese Tomato & Sardine Pâté🎣
This delicious pâté reminds me of sunny holidays in Portugal where they often serve sardine pâté as a starter.

And the good news is that it doesn’t taste too fishy, as the sundried tomatoes and cream cheese balance out the strong sardine flavour.

This is a perfect recipe for getting healthy brainy omega-3 fats into fussy eaters! It makes a yummy and nutritious filling for lunchbox wraps and sandwiches.

Tummy bugs can travel through schools like crazy, knocking everyone for six, and it can take ages for the kids, their parents and their teachers to get back on track.

Every term I get the same messages from parents. Their child has been off twice in a fortnight with a tummy bug, the whole family has gone down with it, and everyone feels lousy and desperate not to catch another one. If this is you right now, read on!

The good news is that a handful of specific, easy habit changes can make a real difference, including proper handwashing and the right nutrition to support a healthy gut microbiome and strengthen your youngster’s defences against bugs.

Most of us have now got the memo that it’s important to eat more protein, but fibre is still left overlooked as its poor cousin. A staggering 96% of UK adults, adolescents and teens (and 86% of kids under 10) do not meet the recommended fibre intake. So, pretty much everyone needs to learn how and why to incorporate more fibre into our diets!

When most people think of fibre, they think of roughage for digestive support or constipation relief, but the truth is that fibre is so much more than that. Fibre helps to support blood sugar control, heart health and gut health, aids healthy weight management, and reduces the risk of certain cancers including bowel cancer.
