SHEREE'S HEALTH DIARIES

Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 10 hours
Total Time: 10 hours + 20 minutes
Yields: 3 - 4 servings

The dreaded ‘vid’ took over my body last week, and so I wanted something warm, nourishing and brothy to support my immune system and recovery… and you can’t go past a chicken noodle soup!

However, this isn’t just any chicken noodle soup! Nope! It is bone broth based which makes it super healing for your gut (and this is where 70% of your immune system lives). So, if you feel run down or you get stuck with ‘the vid’ too, give this a try!

I recommend making the broth in advance then the soup portion is super easy for the next 3 days!

INGREDIENTS

- 2 cups of Sheree’s Bone Broth Recipe
- 1 small nest of vermicelli (or rice noodles)
- 2 - 3 organic chicken drumsticks (pre-cooked in broth)

METHOD

1. Make bone broth overnight as per recipe.

2. Remove the chicken from the broth and put in a separate container

3. Remove the rest of the ingredients from the broth and strain until you just have the liquid

4. Pour the liquid into glass containers or bottles and keep in the fridge until making the soup

5. Pour 2 cups of bone broth into a pot, along with the meat from 2 - 3 chicken drumsticks

6. Add the small nest of vermicelli and put the pot on low to medium heat to allow it to reheat slowly for 8 - 10 minutes.

7. Once broth and chicken are hot and vermicelli are cooked through, remove from pot and serve.

5 Things To Prioritise For Optimal Health

SHEREE'S PYRAMID OF PRIORITIES - 5 PRIORITIES TO OPTIMISE YOUR HEALTH

16 / MARCH / 2022

SHEREE'S HEALTH DIARIES

I get asked all the time… How do I lose weight? How do I balance my hormones? How do I heal my gut? Honestly, it all starts HERE, with the 5 priorities I am about to share with you! This is your foundation to health…

TOP 5 PRIORITIES

1. STRESS + SLEEP:

Do not underestimate the impact stress has on your body, this can be food stress, emotional stress, physical stress, mental stress you name it. It triggers inflammation, can negatively impact your gut health and throw your hormones out of whack if you’re constantly producing tonnes of your stress hormone cortisol!

Stress also has a massive impact on our sleep, which as you will know from experience, a poor night's sleep throws you off for the entire day, if not the entire week! Sleep is where we rest, repair, create long-term memories, and recover, in fact it is arguably THE most important thing we should be doing for our health as humans.

YET, we tend to be completely okay sacrificing it time and time again for more things that are creating stress in our life. A lack of sleep not only tells your body to store more fat, but also encourages you to overeat (and not the good stuff), you typically reach for quick fixes of energy - like sugar and caffeine!

You have to be managing your stress and getting enough sleep, this is a NON-NEGOTIABLE for achieving your goals… focus on having set boundaries around your work hours, and getting 7 - 9 hours sleep EVERY single night!

2. SIMPLE WHOLE FOODS:

Forget diets, eat REAL food, you know, the stuff without an ingredients list (or a minimal one), your body knows what to do with it! Yup… if you can’t pronounce the ingredient, chances are your body doesn’t know how to use it and it provides no nutritional value.

In fact, REAL foods like your meat, poultry, fish, fruits and veggies do not even come with an ingredients list. These are the kinds of foods your diet should be rich in. When you look at your plate, you should be asking yourself, is that enough protein? Is that enough greens? What NUTRIENTS am I getting!

Then once you know your nutrient intake is great, you can weave in things that are sometimes foods if you want to. It is about balance, but whole real foods should make up at least 80% of your diet.

3. SUPPORT + SELF-CARE:

Don’t expect yourself to know how to do everything or to do everything for everyone else. Self-care and support go hand in hand. This can literally look like asking for more help from the people around you…

Remember, how easily you say yes to everyone and want to support, well others love to help too. It is OKAY to ask for help and it is okay to receive it too! Sharing the load makes for a much happier environment and YOU! Also, make it a non-negotiable to have at least 5 minutes of YOU time daily and an hour a week if you can, doing something you love!

If you want to take your health to the next level, and aren’t sure to start, it is worth investing in yourself. I cannot tell you how much my health has been fast tracked through having the support and guidance from coaches.

4. STRENGTH TRAINING:

Ladies… LIFT! If you want to boost your metabolism, support optimal hormone production, and feel empowered, start moving some weights! I cannot stress this enough. No matter what age you are, this will support your health and well-being.

And NO it isn’t going to make you bulky, in fact it will help lean you out, get your bones stronger and of course help you feel stronger and fitter within yourself!

Remember… We all start somewhere, so if it's 1kg or 100kg, you got this! Join a gym, take part in a group fitness program, whatever it looks like, but start picking up some weight. It doesn’t have to replace your exercise currently, but see if it can become something you do 2 - 3 x a week. The results will speak for themselves!

5. SUPPLEMENTS:

This is NOT a one size fits all! Make sure you’re supporting your body with the nutrients that we can’t get enough of through food, or are being depleted by stress! Unfortunately, when it comes to supplements, you definitely want to be careful what you put in the body as not all supplements are created equal!

The other side of the supplement equation is that they do play a very important role! Nowadays our soils aren’t being replenished with the nutrients they once were and this leads to deficiencies of nutrients in our food supply, like zinc, iodine and selenium! And if they aren’t in the soil then they aren’t in our food and then we can’t get them!

So, I recommend that you speak to a qualified health-care provider (like myself) when choosing supplements so you aren’t just taking anything off the shelves!

How To Heal Your Relationship With Food Part Two

HOW TO HEAL YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH FOOD - PART TWO

02 / MARCH / 2022

SHEREE'S HEALTH DIARIES

A couple of weeks ago I shared part one! If you missed it… check it out here before we dive into part two!

Ready?

Here’s how to ditch the GUILT and REMOVE the emotional eating.

IMPORTANT STEPS TO HEALING YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH FOOD

STEP ONE:

1️⃣ ACKNOWLEDGE - acknowledge that you ate the food (sound simple) but often we don’t eat this way in front of others, and try to hide it from ourselves too.

Also, acknowledge the guilt. Name it, call it out.

Let it show it’s face instead of just being a feeling that you’re trying to suppress.

When we name the feeling, it has nowhere to hide and we can start to move past it (thanks @alyssanobriga - turns out this tip works for food too).

STEP TWO:

2️⃣ ACCEPT - accept that it happened, accept that you feel the guilt, you can’t change the past so let’s not let it ruin the present or inhibit our future.

Feel where the guilt is present in the body, is it the stomach, the heart, the mind, the chest, the throat, feel into the presence of the emotion that it has brought up if it serves you.

Take a few deep breaths into the guilt, keep breathing through it without judgement, and let it pass.

3️⃣ LET GO - let go of the feeling, let the guilt pass, move on from it and show up for yourself in the way you want to be.

For the next meal you are going to have, make it one that nourishes your body, fills you up with nutrients and is going to truly satisfy you.

Let go of the judgement you placed on yourself, let go of the guilt and know that each meal, each moment is a chance to start to embody the you you want to become.

Make your choices from this place, not a place of guilt or hatred towards yourself (I know, I’ve been there).

FINALLY...

Please know, it’s not about ‘starting fresh’ or having ‘cheat meals’ these labels only make things worse.

It’s like we are giving ourselves permission to binge out and do a disservice to our bodies, knowing we can ‘start fresh’ the next day.

Go back to that question in part one… if you truly feel like that food, and you’ve checked with yourself there’s not another driving factor behind it… then ENJOY IT!

It’s about eating well for you, where you’re at, and restriction often makes things worse!

So, be kind to your body, after all, it is the one TRUE HOME you have!

Gut Friendly Spaghetti And Meatballs Recipe

GUT FRIENDLY SPAGHETTI + MEATBALLS RECIPE

23 / FEBRUARY / 2022

SHEREE'S HEALTH DIARIES

Prep Time: 15 - 20 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 30 - 35 minutes
Yields: 2 servings

As someone who struggled with gut issues most of my life, I always found it hard to find recipes that didn’t upset my tummy… cause bloating or weird and ‘wonderful’ bowel movements.

Which is why when I started working with clients on healing their gut, and during my own healing journey I started to play around with recipes! In fact, inside Reclaim Your Radiance - my signature gut healing 12 week program, I had a chef design the recipes so that they were super tasty!

This recipe I whipped up the other day, it was so simple and delicious I had to share! I hope you enjoy it!

P.S. If you struggle with chickpeas, the pasta should be a lot easier to break down. If you want to avoid it altogether or need a lower carb alternative, I love konjac noodles, not much flavour but the texture is great, otherwise zucchini noodles are always super easy.

INGREDIENTS

250g beef/venison/lamb mince
8 button mushrooms (chopped)
1 red capsicum (finely sliced)
1 handful of baby spinach (roughly chopped)
1 can tinned tomatoes (I used one with basil + oregano added)
100g chickpea fettuccine/spaghetti or 300g konjac pasta - any variety or 2 x sprialised zucchini
1 tbsp. olive oil
1 tsp. basil
1 tsp. oregano
Salt + pepper to taste

METHOD

Get a medium sized pot, fill it with water and bring to a boil.
Place the mince of your choice into a bowl, and sprinkle with salt, pepper, basil and oregano, mix thoroughly through with a fork or spoon.
Using a spoon, grab a tablespoon size of the mince and roll into a ball and place to the side, repeat the process until you have used up all the mince.
Rinse and chop up the capsicum, spinach and mushrooms.
Place a medium-sized saucepan on medium to high heat, and add in the olive oil and chopped veggies.
Allow the veggies to brown slightly and start to saute, before adding in the meatballs
Once the water is boiled, add the chickpea pasta and cook as per the back of the packet ~6 - 8 minutes. If you are using the konjac noodles, just rinse in water, drain and set aside. If using zoodles (zucchini noodles), dip in the boiling water for 2 minutes so they soften slightly but not too much.
Once meatballs are completely brown on the outside, pour in the tinned tomatoes, turn the heat down to low-medium, and allow it to simmer for 5 - 8 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked all the way through.
The tomatoes should start to thicken slightly into a sauce as it reduces, and add in a little more salt + pepper here to bring out the flavour.
Remove the pasta from the heat and strain, before placing ½ in your bowl and the other half in a glass container. If you are using konjac pasta do the same.
Remove the pan from the heat and plate half on top of the pasta in the glass container and the other half on the pasta in your bowl, mix the sauce through the pasta and enjoy!

As always, if you do make this, be sure to tag me on social media @shereehannahwellness and let me know what you think :)

ENJOY!

How To Heal Your Relationship With Food Part One

HOW TO HEAL YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH FOOD - PART ONE

16 / FEBRUARY / 2022

SHEREE'S HEALTH DIARIES

THE SECRET TO DITCHING THE DIET MENTALITY FOR GOOD…

Do you ever feel like you can’t ‘TREAT YOURSELF’ or it will undo all your hard work? 🙅🏼‍♀️🍫

How was your weekend? Did you enjoy a meal out or two? Or maybe five? Or did you spend it feeling restricted or guilty??

Did you know that whether it is chocolate, pizza or just a regular tub of ice cream, if you want to eat the food or not, the choice is actually completely up to you!

Now that might sound ridiculously obvious, but I cannot tell you how many people I’ve worked with (myself included), that had actually given all their power away to the food!

LISTEN TO YOUR BODY

How about instead of focusing on what you can’t have, focus on what you really want!

Seriously! The amount of times I have actually passed up chocolate, ice cream and cake because I really didn’t feel like it, and other times where I have devoured more than my share!

There was a time where bingeing was my go to, followed by purging… I won’t even tell you what happened to the poor giant Reese’s pieces peanut butter egg that I ate in one sitting.

But that was before I found the balance I now have. There is no restriction, so there is literally no need to binge or purge.

I give myself full permission to have what I want, when I want, and this for me is truly FREEING!

By listening to my body, hunger cues, feeling into whether or not I am wanting the chocolate from a place of lack and emotion, or because I truly want to enjoy it and savour every delicious mouthful, has been a GAME CHANGER!

And if it worked for me (with my history of ED), then I know it can work for you!

The more you feel restricted, 🚫 the more your body and mind will fight you!

Try giving yourself grace and checking in with yourself 🤔 whether you really want the chocolate 🍫 or not, and if you do, ENJOY it! Every mouthful! 😍

ASK YOURSELF THIS QUESTION

Next time you go to reach for food, any food, ask yourself ‘Is this what is really going to serve me?’

The key here is to answer HONESTLY! Listen to what your gut is telling you (like seriously), take that pause and then make your decision from a place of empowerment and completely GUILT FREE!

You can have your cake 🍰 and eat it too! LITERALLY 🤩

The other thing you want to ask yourself, is WHY do I want the chocolate/wine/pizza?

Is it to enjoy one with my family or friends?
Is it out of boredom and laziness?
Is it because I am stressed out?
Is it because I am lonely?
Is it because I am sad?
Is it because I am tired?

(You get the idea)

Start to bring CURIOSITY as to WHY there may be a feeling of GUILT coming up (often it is there far before you even eat the egg - am I right?)

So, if we address the emotion, the guilt, the underlying reason we are reaching for it, whether that be a quick fix or a delicious treat, then we can prevent the GUILT.

If that chocolate isn’t going to serve you in the moment, and what you’re really looking for is a hug, or some form of connection, then call a friend, find a flatmate that will give you a hug… it will mean you are giving the body and mind exactly what it wants.

Then if you still want the chocolate after that, then ENJOY it.

But you can eat it knowing that it isn’t because there is an EMOTIONAL DRIVER or boredom, but actually because the chocolate is what you want!

= NO GUILT!

Remember, just like ONE SALAD OR SMOOTHIE isn’t going to get you the body of your dreams, ONE SLICE OF PIZZA or four isn’t going to take it away!

Sending you love, and know that you are never alone!

The 3 Key Ways To Know If You Are Ovulating

THE 3 KEY WAYS TO KNOW IF YOU ARE OVULATING!

02 / FEBRUARY / 2022

SHEREE'S HEALTH DIARIES

First off, let me start by saying the OVULATION isn’t just about falling pregnant, it plays a massive role in our overall health! In fact, it is the MAIN EVENT of your cycle… NOT your period!

Ovulation is essential to having healthy, well-balanced hormones in women during their menstrual years. It occurs between day 13 - 21 of your cycle and only happens for ONE day.

Fortunately the ovulatory phase is anywhere from 3 - 4 days, so you do get the beautiful benefits during that time too… and of course a much happier, healthier second half of your cycle, as ovulation plays a key role in producing other key hormones such as progesterone and estradiol (main form of estrogen).

Ovulation is not simply the time you are the most fertile, nor is it just about the release of an egg, although this is extremely significant, when it comes to our health we want to ovulate for a number of other reasons too…

The first sign that a women may have a health problem is anovulatory cycles (missing ovulation) and/or irregular periods, and can be indicative of an underlying issue with our metabolic health, adrenals, pituitary gland, thyroid, endocrine system, ovares or hypothalamus.

THAT’S A LOT… RIGHT?!

In fact, without ovulation, it’s not even considered a REAL period! BTW… You will not ovulate if you are on the pill (or many other hormonal contraceptives).

So, let’s get to it, and make sure you are in fact ovulating!

SIGNS YOU ARE OVULATING

1. Cervical Mucus

This is an important sign and put first because it actually tells you a lot of information. Our cervical mucus changes in the lead up to your Big ‘O’ (ovulation) and tends to go whiter, thicker, creamier, stickier and form an egg white type consistency.

Now, this doesn’t look the same for everyone, but if it is happening a few days before you are due for ovulation (~day 14), then it is a really good sign! The most important thing is to look at the pattern for your normal. It is also important to note down when this happens, as you can get a second wave of this mucus, but it isn’t a second ovulation. Which is why we need step two if you want to track properly!

2. Basal Body Temperature

This is a great indicator for whether you have ovulated or not… if you are using this for contraceptive purposes, then just relying on your body temp alone is not going to help, because your temperature rises AFTER ovulation.

If there is no rise, then you most likely didn’t ovulate. However, we are not looking for a massive spike in ovulation, it can be as little as 2/10ths of an increase, for example going from 97.4°F/36.4°C and 97.6°F/36.6°C and it should stay elevated for the remainder of that cycle.

Key thing here is to track at the same time every morning for the most accurate reading, with an oral thermometer.

3. Cervical Position

Now this final one can vary depending whether or not you have had children. If not then your cervix will be closed after ovulation, however if you have had children it will never fully close.

When you are ovulating, your cervix will be softer, open and higher… your body is trying to make it as easy to conceive as possible, so it makes sense right!

And if you aren’t quite comfortable with checking your cervix position, here are a few other signs you might be ovulating: increased sex drive, confidence, strength, energy and motivation. Glowing skin and fuller lips can also happen around ovulation…

Remember your body’s goal every month is to conceive whether you want it to or not so it is doing all it can to make you more attractive to a mate!

READY TO BALANCE YOUR HORMONES?

5 Ways To Reset Your Hormones After The Holidays

5 WAYS TO RESET YOUR HORMONES AFTER THE HOLIDAYS

26 / JANUARY / 2022

SHEREE'S HEALTH DIARIES

It has been said that the worst month for PMS is January… So if you have been feeling this, know you are not alone, AND there is plenty you can do to reset those hormones so you can avoid any more PMS or period dramas!

Despite the fact that about 95% of women experience at least ONE PMS symptom a month… When it comes to PMS, period pain, hormonal acne, mood swings, bloating, irregular cycles (all the fun things that as women we are led to believe are normal) are in fact NOT!

Which is why a huge part of my mission is to help women heal, so they can live healthy, balanced lives, pain and symptom free!

So, ready to dive in… here are 5 ways to reset your hormones after the holidays.

5 WAYS TO RESET YOUR HORMONES

Assess the Stress

The first thing to throw our hormones off is stress. Now this might not have been the typical stress that your body is used to going through from your work and normal routines.

When you are on holiday or having a break from normality, a different kind of stress tends to creep in… whether that is less sleep, poor food choices, boundaries crossed, less exercise or more alcohol, they are all a stress on the body!

So, before you go trying a bajillion supplements, and going all out at the gym, take a look at what stresses you did have over the break and what you currently have on your plate and look at how you can support your body through it.

This might look like taking more time for yourself in the morning to start the day in a grounded way. Or saying NO to working late, or taking on new projects. It is important to protect your energy and manage your stress levels if you want healthy balanced hormones!

Detoxify Your Liver

The liver typically takes the brunt of the load over the silly season, and so it is important to give it some extra love (especially if you didn’t during the madness).

If you don’t support the liver and it’s detoxification pathways, you can actually end up storing excess hormones, or throwing off the balance of the hormones in the body - for example - estrogen!

And too much of anything isn’t good, so you want to keep your hormones balanced nicely by adding in plenty of cruciferous veggies like kale, cabbage, broccoli and cauliflower to your main meals. These support phase two of liver detoxification.

Staying hydrated also helps the liver flush the toxins out, and adding a little lemon to the water definitely adds to the benefits of detoxifying. Not to mention taking a break from the alcohol and processed foods to ease the liver load!

Exercise in Sync with Your Cycle

Exercise can go astray on a break, or you may fall out of sync with your natural pattern! So the easiest way to reset is to come back to your cycle.

Start training in sync with your 4 phases - follicular, ovulatory, luteal and menstrual, and listening to your body and what it needs as you transition. This helps the body stay in tune with your infradian rhythm (your monthly cyclic rhythm). If you want to dive deeper into this I have a blog for you here!

Support Your Circadian Rhythm

Yes, us lucky females have both an infradian rhythm and a circadian rhythm, and holiday periods tend to throw off our body clock! So if you have found your nights getting later and later and it is harder to get out of bed in the mornings then this is your sign to reset that body clock!

Start by winding down half an hour earlier, get some blue light glasses, or switch off devices so that the brain doesn’t feel ON, then see if you can move your bedtime slowly back to where you know you feel good!

Maybe remove the afternoon coffee that is giving you a buzz, and start listening to your natural rhythms to help you not only sleep earlier, but better so you can wake up feeling refreshed! Because in order for our hormones to be happy, our circadian rhythm needs to be balanced.

Do My 4 Day Gut Reset

If you are wanting to give the body a good reset, cleanse the gut, and any bad bugs that may have built up over the silly season, or if your cycles have become irregular or too heavy, then my 4 day gut reset is the perfect mini-makeover for your insides!

This 4-day gut reset helps reboot the microbiome, restore your energy, bring mental clarity and focus as well as help balance the hormones as you are starting at the root! If you are interested in giving this a go click here or if you have further questions on it, DM me @shereehannahwellness on IG!

FINAL THOUGHTS

Remember, your hormones didn’t become unbalanced overnight, so they aren’t going to reset overnight either, it is a matter of being consistent and continuing to implement the tips above as needed to support your body and hormones to be healthy!
