How To Get Back On Track After Holiday Season
HOW TO GET BACK ON TRACK AFTER THE HOLIDAYS
13 / JANUARY / 2021
SHEREE'S HEALTH DIARIES
Feeling derailed after the summer/winter break? Eat too many of Santa’s cookies, or mum’s home baking? Miss a few too many workouts and now you can’t seem to stop beating yourself up!
The guilt that plagues you, that voice in your head wishing that for once in your life you could just have had the discipline! Well… I HAVE THE SOLUTION FOR YOU!
JUST IMAGINE
What if there was NO WAGON TO FALL OFF! No track to get back on? No diet you had to start AGAIN? What if it got to be FUN, EXCITING, and ENJOYABLE?
I know, you think I am crazy by now, but maybe you’re a little bit intrigued… what on earth could she be talking about? 👀 A way to ENJOY having a fit and healthy bod? Without feeling like a social outcast and being full of restrictions?
Well, I’m not joking! In fact it is something I pride myself on as a coach, helping people DITCH the diet mentality in favour of finding a LIFESTYLE that is balanced, healthy and that they enjoy!
When we shift our mindset away from being stuck on this path with a set destination, we are telling ourselves that there is an end… the issue with that, is that we then go back to those poor habits that got us to feeling unhappy in ourselves in the first place.
My question to you is what do you REALLY want? Like REEEEEEAAAALLLLY want? Is it freedom around food, balanced hormones, a healthy gut, a lean body, a strong physique, a healthy mind?
It is all possible! When we shift this mentality. You see, when we embrace the fact that we are on a journey, and focus on finding a balance that feels good for us, we remove the need for any restriction at all!
So… you’re asking, it sounds super simple, but why can’t I do it?
Well, we have been programmed this way, so it is going to take some commitment, and consistency, but that doesn’t mean no fun! All of my clients know this!
HERE IS ONE OF MY TOP TIPS
Instead of beating yourself up after you skip a workout, over-eat/under-eat, have ‘bad’ food… what if simply acknowledged that it happened, be present with why it happened so that you can accept it, and then move on?
Let’s say you finished that whole block of chocolate, and you’re feeling like sh*t! You say to yourself “Seriously Sally, AGAIN! How can you have no willpower or self-control! Oh well, you’ve stuffed it up now, let’s just order pizza for dinner and finish the night with a bottle of wine and some ice cream, it doesn’t matter anyway!”
I’ve been there, it’s not fun! Beating yourself up over food! Next time you do opt for something that doesn’t really align with your health goals, remind yourself that it is okay. We are all human, and ask yourself what you really needed in that moment? Was it a hug? To talk to a friend? Was it actually the chocolate? Any answer is fine!
From here though, we want to accept it, see how we can give our body what it truly needs and then the next meal or snack, we continue on our journey to our best health!
One unhealthier meal isn’t going to undo all your hard work, just like one salad isn’t going to suddenly change your body! It is about commitment and consistency. We typically eat around 35 meals a week (breakfast, lunch, dinner and two snacks a day), so if 3 - 4 of them aren’t the best choices, that’s okay!
Remove the guilt! That is causing more harm than the food! Enjoy the food you want to eat, don’t label it, simply be present with it, and then carry on with your day!
You’ve got this! And if you need extra support in this, don’t hesitate to reach out! I am here for you!
Yours in Health,

10 Lessons From 2020
MY 10 BIGGEST LESSONS FROM 2020
30 / DECEMBER / 2020
SHEREE'S HEALTH DIARIES
As cliche as the saying has now become… WHAT A YEAR IT HAS BEEN! I’m sure 2020 will become a new catchphrase to describe a mess, whirlwind or craziness going on in one's life in the future!
Won’t it be incredible to look back years from now, in our state of new normal and give ourselves such a big pat on the back for surviving this year! Knowing that you are strong, capable and empowered to get through anything life throws at you!
No matter the ups and downs, we only fail if we stop trying!
I like to use this time of year to reflect, look back on what I have learnt, assess what went well, and make a plan to always show up as my best self moving forward and what that looks like.
During this time of reflection, it has become a bit of an annual tradition (second year running haha), for me to reflect on the 10 Biggest Lessons I had in the year that was, I have shared them for you below, and invite you to think back on your year and do the same.
Remember there is no right or wrong way to simply be your authentic self, so whatever lessons you have learnt this year, meet them with love and grace, and know they are serving you and your highest good!
MY 10 LESSONS
#1: REST!
If 2020 has taught me anything... it’s to REST! It may sound like the simplest of lessons, but there is a reason it is at the top. It wasn’t until we finished our first lockdown here in NZ that I reflected and saw the amount of tears, and stress I had put myself under trying to work 12 - 14 hours a day 7 days a week… and have it take its toll on my health!
Learning to prioritise rest was hard, especially if you’re anything like me and feel like rest is unproductive. However, what I learnt is that it is amazing how much more productive you are and easier things become when you do take the time to rest and fill up your own cup! So, take a leaf out of my book, and put some non-negotiable downtime in your calendar every week this year!
#2: LISTEN TO YOUR INTUITION
As someone who struggles at times to view the Universe as a friendly place, my faith in myself and all that is around me waived this year. I had moments where I was in full trust and others where I fell into playing the victim card.
What got me through was reconnecting to myself. You know that little voice inside your head that isn’t your ego, but is often quietly whispering trying to get your attention, or maybe it’s a feeling in your heart, or sensation in your gut. Either way, I learnt to TRUST mine!
If something isn’t feeling right, out of integrity or you feel like there is something you need to do, follow that calling. Your intuition is one of the most powerful tools you can use, harness it and connect to it daily. I do so through the practice of journaling and meditation, and I don’t say this lightly, but it has been life changing.
#3️ TRUST IN DIVINE TIMING
Whether you believe in God, the Universe, Source, or absolutely nothing… One thing that has become apparent to me is that EVERYTHING is happening for your highest good! Even if it may not seem like it at the time (e.g. COVID), there is a lesson just waiting to be learned.
We often try to rush the process and journey we are, yet when we are patient, as you will most likely know from experience, it all unfolds exactly as it is meant to. And often that ‘thing’ you missed out on, didn’t happen or was terrible at the time, was making room for something so much greater!
Instead of thinking, why me, why this, why now… I have now shifted my thinking to what is this trying to teach me, and I start thinking and imagining the thing that I know I truly desire happening.
#4️ EMBRACE YOUR WEIRDNESS (ALL OF IT!)
So often we are looking for someone outside of us to love us exactly as we are, for all our qualities and flaws, unconditionally. This year, I have learnt that in order to receive that love, one must first give that love to yourself.
Often what we are searching for outside of us, is what we need the most to nourish and serve us internally. I was searching for love, acceptance, to be seen, heard and respected from others, when in reality, I needed to do that for myself first!
From this, I discovered how important it is to be authentically you! There is NO OTHER YOU in this world, and there is a special reason for that. You come with your own set of gifts, traits and blessings that only YOU can share! So embrace it all!!
Now on, my little inner child who wants to sing at the top of her lungs (sounding like a dying cat), do cartwheels in the middle of the street, dance like no one is watching and give love openly, freely with nothing but trust and faith is here to stay! Invite your inner weirdo to join you too! At the end of the day, the only person really judging you, is you.
#5️ DONE IS BETTER THAN PERFECT
The inner perfectionist in me hated this lesson, but man has it been a game changer! It is actually a lesson that a coach/mentor of mine @iamnatalie Natalie Ellis [Co-Founder of BossBabe] has said numerous times, and I have finally drilled into my head.
As someone who is known for her OCD tendencies, I was actually relieved to release this pressure from myself, and was AMAZED at just how much more I got accomplished this year. Whilst it pays to be organised and have standards, that is not to say that every piece of content, session, message or piece of work I have put out there has been perfect!
We learn from our mistakes, but how are we supposed to learn if we don’t even put anything out there and try. Adopting this as a new philosophy has been transformational in not only my business, but my personal life as well.
#6️ YOU ARE MORE CAPABLE THAN YOU’LL EVER KNOW
Lack of self-confidence, doubt, low self-esteem is something that I am and have been plagued with time after time, however a true lesson for me this year, was to realise that I already had EVERYTHING I needed inside of me!
We don’t need to wait for anyone other than ourselves to make our own dreams happen, and turn our visions into a reality. We hold all the magic within! I cannot tell you how many times this year I have managed to pull something off that I never thought was possible. And that came from pure self-belief and determination.
Say it to yourself daily, repeat it 100 times over, but YOU ARE WORTHY, YOU ARE CAPABLE, YOU ARE ENOUGH! You’ve got this!
#7️ ABUNDANCE IS A MINDSET/WAY OF BEING
So often we look to the future for what we want, including our happiness, we place it so far away from ourselves, in our minds it almost becomes impossible for us to achieve. But what if… we already had everything we desired right now!
Now, I’m not talking about materialistic things, but think about what that materialistic thing you want is bringing you? Freedom? Happiness? Fulfilment? Whatever it is, how can you give yourself that feeling now?
For me it was abundance, I have always been striving to drive more income because I wanted more freedom, however I had forgotten to take a step back and view the freedom I had already created in my life. I am abundant already, in friends, support, clients, love etc… It is this gratitude that allows you to actually BE with what you are wanting to feel! Try it!
#8️ BE IN FLOW
Something I have been working on ever since it was made aware to me, was stepping back from the hustle mentality I have been stuck in for YEARS!!! And into the flow of life!
This year in particular, I have learnt to dance with the Universe. Step into the energy of being in appreciation for all that is around me, and take things as they come, not trying to force it.
Sure I still set goals, and have plans, but being open to those plans changing, learning to pivot and be adaptable is what made it very possible for me to have a 2020 that I am incredibly grateful for. The more we resist the more ‘it’ persists!
Where your focus goes, energy flows. So be mindful of where you are putting your time and energy, and ask yourself how you can be more in flow with your life.
#9️ YOU ARE THE MASTER OF YOUR MIND
Another powerful lesson, from another incredible mentor/coach of mine @alyssanobriga Alyssa Nobriga [Masterful Coach]. In our work together over the last year and a bit, it has been so transformative to understand that we have the power to write our own stories, question our own thoughts, fears and beliefs to shape a new and more aligned reality.
This shift in mindset has bought me so much freedom, I am eternally grateful for. When we apply tools like listening to our intuition, tapping into the feminine flow, deciding to question the thought, we are actively choosing to live the life we want to lead.
Your mind is such a powerful tool, yet for most of our lives we let it rule us. Having learnt that we can simply be with the thoughts, feelings and emotions that come up, process them and then take aligned action, again has been such a life changing lesson. And given me the freedom to let go of all things that no longer serve me.
#10 BE THE LIGHT IN THE DARKNESS
You beautiful soul, are pure light and love! Just simply being you… Even when you think you’ve hit rock bottom, there will always be a way out. Even when you feel like you have nothing left to give, there is always something deep within that pulls you through.
Realising that even in my darkest hours of 2020, that there was still hope, that I never needed to give up, that there is still light at the end of the tunnel and that light was actually shining brightly from within allowed me to see my true potential.
Try looking at yourself through the eyes of someone else, someone that loves and respects and values you, and you will see the beautiful light and love that is glowing from you that they are drawn to. We all have it. Sometimes we just need to come out of the darkness to see.
FINAL THOUGHTS
I hope that there is something within these lessons that resonates with you, they come from my heart and are expressed with love, vulnerability and truth. I wish you every happiness in the years to come, and may 2021 hold every blessing you could imagine and more!
With love,
Sheree xo

Top 5 Gift Ideas For Your Healthy Human
LAST MINUTE GIFT IDEAS FOR YOUR HEALTHY HUMAN
23 / DECEMBER / 2020
SHEREE'S HEALTH DIARIES
What better gift, than the gift of HEALTH this Christmas! Especially after the year we have all had! Chocolates, alcohol and your favourite holiday treats might be off the wish list this year for that health crazed person in your life!
Sure we all like to let off some steam, and have some balance, but sometimes it is nice to know that your lifestyle choices are respected by those around you (as a gym bunny myself)!
Whilst you could opt for the typical healthy supplements like protein powders or some magnesium and omega 3’s, why not look for something a little more unique to treat the health nut in your life!
Not everything healthy has to break the budget either, so I have included a range of gift ideas below to fit everyone's budget!
Below are my TOP 5 Suggestions for Your Health Focused Human!!
TOP 5 GIFT IDEAS
GIFT #1: Eve Wellness Co. Hormone Test
Whether you are treating a male or a female this year, the Eve Wellness Co. Hormone Test is great for both! Speaking from experience, it can be such an incredible feeling knowing exactly what is going on in your body!
The Eve Wellness Test measures your hormone levels (through gold standard level of testing - dried urine sample), and gives you a comprehensive report back with structured guidelines and tips to help regain balance in your body!
If your healthy human is wondering why they aren’t getting the gains they are after, or struggling with terrible periods, mood swings or weight gain, this can help get to the bottom of WHY!! (And I promise, they won’t find it offensive… maybe just don’t say ‘this gift is because of your mood swings’ in the card!
Click here to learn more or purchase: https://evewellness.com/store/
GIFT #2: Healthy Snacks - Bliss Ball Mixes or Bone Broth
I cannot tell you how thankful I am when I receive these as gifts! If your healthy human is quite busy, sometimes it can be hard to grab something other than a protein shake or apple and peanut butter as a snack, so why not treat them to something delicious and nutritious that doesn’t take much time to make!
My favourite suggestions are: 
- Real Rad Balls by Real Rad Food
- Bone Broth by Mitchell’s Nutrition
These are super easy and quick to whip up! Plus friendly on the wallet! Or you might even put them in a little hamper for your health nut along with some of their other favourite healthy foods!

Bliss Balls: https://realradfood.co.nz/collections/balls
Bone Broth: https://www.mitchellsnutrition.com/collections/all
GIFT #3: Not Your Average Tupperware - Bamba
Times are changing and gone are the days of using plenty of plastic bottles and containers. It’s beneficial to both the environment and our liver if we make the switch, which is why I was wrapped when Bamba came to life!
These gorgeous containers and drink bottles are made completely eco-friendly and are really consciously designed! I personally have a drink bottle of theirs and love it!
Maybe you could even get yourself a matching one!
Click here to learn more or purchase: https://www.bamba.co.nz/collections/all
GIFT #4: Pamper Time - Massage or Facial Voucher
Despite your healthy humans
best efforts, I can almost guarantee (much like yourself), they don’t really spend much time resting or slowing down! In fact, ‘treat yourself’ is something they struggle with in their vocabulary!
I personally think everyone in my life deserves a little pamper time, so why
not spoil that special human of yours with a little R&R, time to just them! Don’t forget, guys love massages too, and often need it more than us females!
My favourite place if you are living locally is Mooi Skin! Click here to check them out!
Otherwise, do your research and check out the reviews, or go off a recommendation, it is super simple to buy a voucher online nowadays too!
GIFT #5: Personal Training Sessions
Whatever your healthy humans goals are, having an extra set of eyes and coach for support is always going to help them fast track to reaching them! Why not surprise them with a few sessions you’ve paid for in advance!
I used to get a few people asking me of this every year, and it was
always so much fun as a trainer to meet new clients who had such supportive people around them! It doesn’t have to be too expensive either, a lot of trainers start from $40/hour.
Check out your local gym, online or if you are based in New Zealand I recommend looking up the trainers from Les Mills!

BONUS GIFT
My Complete Quiz Bundle!
Now I had to throw in this BONUS pressie idea, because I am a little biased! There is nothing better to me than understanding your body and what is going on with your health!
Which is exactly why I created my ROOT CAUSE QUIZ to help you or your healthy human to get to the root of their health and wellness imbalance!
Not to mention, at the end of the quiz you have the option to treat yourself to a beautiful bundle to help you HEAL the underlying issue(s). How perfect is that! Everything to start the healing journey is inside the bundle, and if you get all the bundles it is practically like doing a 10 Week Program with ME!!
Check it out here: ROOT CAUSE BUNDLE
Whatever you end up buying your healthy human, and however you are spoiled in return, I am wishing you a very healthy, happy and MERRY CHRISTMAS and an incredible NEW YEAR!!
Yours in Health,

Top 5 Wellness Tips To Surviving The Festive Season
TOP 5 WELLNESS TIPS TO SURVIVING THE HOLIDAY SEASON!
16 / December / 2020
Sheree's Health Diaries
It’s that time of year again, and before we know it our bellies are stuffed, the weight is back on, and all our hard work feels like it has been undone!
How many times have you focused on your health all year only to throw it out the window the minute Christmas and the festive season rolls around? Then spend the rest of the next year trying to get your health back!
We all know by now, it’s very easy to lose focus and motivation around the holidays, and why wouldn’t you! More excuses to drink, more yummy foods come out, more socialising… it’s literally a recipe for disaster.
But what if it didn’t have to be?
I am a strong believer in moderation and balance! So, don’t worry these top 5 tips are not about to tell you to give up everything and have a celery juice on Christmas day! Let’s focus on supporting your system through the holiday period so that you don’t end up worse off than where you started!
MY TOP 5 TIPS
TIP #1: KEEP ACTIVE TO KEEP UP YOUR ENERGY + FEELING GOOD!
Our bodies were made to move, and movement helps with everything, from your sleep, to digestion, hormone health and weight! It doesn’t have to be going to the gym everyday either!
Over the break, why not try to get outdoors more if you can, go swimming, for long walks on the beach or out in nature, play sports with family and friends, get a paddleboard, or head to your local yoga studio. If you’re stuck at home, try doing things online!
The easiest way for me to get in my exercise over the holiday period is by doing it first thing in the morning, getting up and going for a nice long walk, then if I happen to go swimming or play some games with friends or family later it is a bonus.
Your body will thank you for it! If you are headed away too, be sure to take some easy, compact equipment, my resistance bands are always on hand! What’s most important is that you give yourself grace! You don’t need to be working out everyday, just encourage gentle movement so that you don’t feel slumpy or yuck (especially after too many wines)!
TIP #2: SUPPORT YOUR LIVER
The load on your liver typically increases this time of year, and not just because of the extra alcohol! The liver, believe it or not, does more than deal with your cocktails or egg nog!
Try to be mindful of just how much alcohol you are consuming, because it can creep up at times! Some key things you can do to give it some extra assistance:
- Keep hydrated, the extra water helps flush out the toxins that the body is being overwhelmed with! Our bodies are 70% water, and alcohol is a diuretic, so adding in some more H2O will go a long way. Even if you’re not drinking much alcohol this festive season, we still need to have a happy liver to process all the other toxins that go in just on a daily basis.
- Eat plenty of cruciferous veggies (broccoli, cauliflower, kale, bok choy, cabbage etc) and if you know that’s going to be hard, try adding in a greens powder to your day, I always take a bottle of Dr Libby’s Daily Greens and Radiant Reds away with me, and add it to a protein shake or morning smoothie so that I know I’m getting a boost of nutrients.
- Keep some activated charcoal on hand! If you know that your food intake, and habits over the holidays might include a few more processed foods, or drinks than normal, show the liver some love, by giving it a bit of assistance with this little hack! The activated charcoal helps drag the toxins out of the gut!
TIP #3: EAT A WELL-BALANCED MEAL (Ideally 3 times a day, but breakfast and before going out is even more important)
We aren’t perfect, in fact generally holiday time tends to bring out our worst habits and poorest food choices, but if you are wanting to feel confident on the beach, energised, and balancing your hormones, eating regular meals that have some wholefood sources of carbs, proteins and fats is KEY!
We want to make sure the blood sugar levels are stabilised as much as possible, as well as something to ‘line the stomach’ before a big night!
Fun fact! Drinking alcohol on an empty stomach not only makes you drunk quicker, but actually promotes ‘leaky gut’ which can lead to food sensitivities, bloating, irregular bowel movements, brain fog and imbalanced gut microbiome over time!
So, line your tummy up and keep your gut happy!
TIP #4: REST, REST, REST
This may sound so simple, but if this year has taught me anything, it is that there are many of us, myself included who struggle to actually switch off!! Yes, sitting down, and blobbing and resting, without any guilt is actually really hard for a lot of us!
These holidays treat yourself to a well-deserved break! It has been an incredibly tough year, and our beautiful stress hormone cortisol has most probably been working overtime for the majority of us. So, help set yourself up well for the New Year with plenty of rest!
My personal faves include journaling, reading, writing, tanning at the beach, spending time with friends and family, and walks in nature! Remove all pressure to be ON, or doing something, and give yourself full permission to switch OFF and unwind! Your body, mind and soul will thank you for it!
TIP #5: ENJOY YOURSELF!
The holidays are about spending time with loved ones, letting your hair down, and relaxing! And after the year we’ve all had, know that you truly deserve to!
Be present with yourself, have fun, enjoy solitude, company, create exciting new memories, take a million photos, switch off from social media, eat fish and chips on the beach, or cuddle up by the fireplace (depending where you are in the world), and know that all is well. You are always loved, and you are ENOUGH!
FINAL THOUGHTS
Enjoy the drinks and food shared with friends, the laughter and happiness all around, notice what brings you joy and find ways of doing more of that. Remove the pressure to show up a certain way, and be your wonderful self, whatever that may look like!
Everything happens exactly as it is meant to! I am sending you all so much light and love! Wishing you a very MERRY CHRISTMAS and a HAPPY NEW YEAR!! xo

Why Counting Calories Could Be Stopping You From Losing Weight
WHY COUNTING CALORIES COULD BE STOPPING YOU FROM LOSING WEIGHT
9 / DECEMBER / 2020
SHEREE'S HEALTH DIARIES
I cannot tell you how many clients come to me after just a few weeks of working together, not able to believe HOW MUCH they are eating, and the fact the weight is shifting more than it ever has before.
This idea that you need to be in a caloric deficit to lose weight is a concept I believe to be extremely outdated. For starters, it was first utilised in hospital situations in order to ensure that the patients were getting enough food that it sustained LIFE… and when food was scarce during the depression it was used to again… SUSTAIN LIFE!
If you ask me, there are so many factors that the calorie equation doesn’t take into account when you are looking at using it for weight-loss. For example, your body's ability to actually burn body fat as a fuel source, the health of your liver, gut, thyroid, how well your hormones are balanced, and your body's ability to regulate insulin levels.
SHIFT YOUR MINDSET
It is about time we shifted our mentality and way of thinking around this, as more often than not, when we are on a low calorie diet (e.g. 1200 - 1600 calories), we are not only starving ourselves, but more than likely putting in food that our body’s don’t even know how to breakdown and absorb.
Think about it… that low calorie sauce/protein bar/snack contains how many artificial ingredients that you probably don’t even know how to pronounce, and a bunch of numbers too.
If you don’t know what they are, chances are neither does your body, not to mention the side effects these synthetic substances can have on your insides (thus affecting your outsides).
In addition to that, the body actually goes into a state of STRESS when it is being deprived of nutrients in calorie deficits that are too extreme, resulting in the body actually driving up the amount of fat you store after each meal! (Counterproductive right?)
HERE'S WHAT I PROPOSE:
What if we shifted our mentality from counting calories to counting nutrients, how many colours can you get on your plate from REAL WHOLE FOODS?
What if we ditched the ‘low fat’ alternatives (because in reality all they have done is taken out the fat and pumped the food full of sugar and salt)?
What if we instead focused on LISTENING to our body’s internal hunger cues, instead of being restricted by a certain NUMBER of calories we could eat, and looked at HEALING the underlying issue of the weight that has been gained.
There’s a beautiful quote that I have adopted from the lovely Dr. Libby - You don’t have to lose weight to be healthy, you need to be healthy to lose weight!
So, what really is healthy? If you are struggling to understand why no matter how little calories you eat, or how much exercise you do, you still can’t shift the stubborn pounds, then let’s get to the ROOT CAUSE!!
If you want some insight on what might be driving that, click this link to take my free ROOT CAUSE QUIZ! Let’s get you healthy and happy and in the body you truly desire!

The Real Reason You Are Not Seeing Results
THE REAL REASON YOU ARE NOT SEEING RESULTS
3 / DECEMBER / 2020
SHEREE'S HEALTH DIARIES
Keto, paleo, vegetarian, sugar free, gluten free, dairy free… diet after diet after diet. If you’re sick of being on the rollercoaster of restriction listen up. No diet is going to heal you if you don’t know what you are treating.
Would you trust a doctor that just gave you pills before listening to your symptoms? I sure hope not… then why do we prescribe ourselves food without listening to what our body needs?
FOOD IS MEDICINE
Let me say that again… FOOD IS MEDICINE! Whether you buy into that or not, what we eat is where we get our nutrients from and what our body uses as building blocks to grow, heal, support, repair and nourish ourselves on a daily basis.
And if you’re honest with yourself, you will know when you are truly feeling good and when you’re not, no one likes waking up tired, with no energy and storing extra layers around their tummy, thighs or back of the arms!
Or maybe it’s the constant bloating, PMS, irregular bowel movements that’s getting you down. Either way, we both know a krispy kreme donut probably isn’t going to help the situation.
Unfortunately, food in this case isn’t the answer. You could be eating as healthy as a horse and as clean as my mother’s kitchen (it is always sparkling), and still be struggling to see the results you want!
I know, I’ve been there… and I’ve worked with hundreds of clients that have had the same issue.
FINDING THE ROOT CAUSE
If we don’t know what is driving the body to bloat, store fat, deplete us of energy, how can we expect to know how to fix it. This is why it is so important to get to the ROOT CAUSE!!
I’m going to be honest with you, it is a pet peeve of mine for symptoms to just be labelled as NORMAL or just cast under a very wide umbrella of let’s say IBS (irritable bowel syndrome). That doesn’t solve anything! What is driving those symptoms is what I want to help you get to the bottom of!
This is exactly why I have created my FREE ROOT CAUSE QUIZ!! To help you get to the bottom of why these symptoms are haunting you! Click the link above to take it!
Now this quiz is by no means a diagnostic tool, but it is definitely an incredible place to start and can give us clear insight into what might be driving those issues. Rather than blaming the diet, there is a strong possibility that there is something else contributing… inflammation, burnout, hormones, the liver, gut health, thyroid issues etc.
So, this quiz is the best place to start! From here we can gauge our next steps and dive a little further! I hope you find some insight and answers, and remember YOU know your body better than anyone else, you have the right to question if something doesn’t feel right, and you also don’t have to accept ‘that’s normal’ as a response or solution.
HAVE FUN AND UNDERSTAND YOUR BODY!! TAKE THE QUIZ!!

5 Reasons You Need Bone Broth in Your Life
5 Reasons You Need Bone Broth In Your Life
25 / NOVEMBER / 2020
Sheree's Health Diaries
5 Reasons You Need Bone Broth in Your Life, Like Yesterday!
Bone Broth is thrown around a lot lately, and it comes with the same question a lot of nutritional products do… is it really worth all the hype?
In short, the answer is YES! But no-one really takes anything just because someone says, so let me fill you in on WHY this incredible nutrient rich food is a staple in my home and daily life!
Bone broth has been around for thousands of years, dating back to our caveman days where no part of the animal was wasted… including the bones. (We have a LOT to learn from our ancestors).
The remaining carcusses and bones were boiled into a broth and consumed, much like we consume chicken soup in the winter (hint: there’s bone broth in your chicken soup).
Think about your common cold, we want to reach for something warm and nourishing right, and chicken soup is one of the first things that comes to mind, but why?
Believe it or not, despite the fact this is an ancient tradition passed down through generations, our body also knows what is good for it. We just have to give it a chance to listen.
Bone broth is commonly linked to digestive and gut health benefits, and rightly so! It is also extremely beneficial for our joint and skin health, immune system, it has anti-inflammatory benefits as well as improved sleep and metabolic function.
Which brings me to the TOP 5 REASONS YOU SHOULD BE DRINKING BONE BROTH… like yesterday!
THE HEALING PROPERTIES OF BONE BROTH
1. Supports your digestive system and gut health:
With so many issues with gut health nowadays such as leaky gut, food intolerances, SIBO, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), irritable bowel diseases such as Crohn’s and ulcerative colitis, it is no wonder we are starting to revert back to our ancient medicinal remedies.
Bone broth is rich in both collagen and gelatin that contain amino acids essential to help coat and line the gut, reducing inflammation and actually HEALING the gut lining that is damaged as a result of the chronic stress it has been exposed to over time. It is the glutamine (from gelatin) that has been shown to be particularly beneficial in healing and sealing the intestinal tract walls.
The healing properties of bone broth, and its link to reducing leaky gut, have also been shown to reduce anxiety, depression, allergies, food intolerances, and acne (as these are often a byproduct of leaky gut syndrome).
2. Improves joint and bone health:
Those amino acids aren’t just great for your gut… collagen is the main protein inside your bones, tendons and ligaments. In the process of cooking the broth, collagen is broken down into gelatin which contains the amino acids proline and glycine which are key building blocks for our connective tissue and bones.
Bone broth is also a fantastic source of minerals such as magnesium, calcium, and potassium, all of which are required to help build strong healthy bones and key nutrients for our cartilage glucosamine and chondroitin. The marrow from the animal bones also contains selenium, omega 3 fatty acids, boron, vitamin A, vitamin K, zinc and iron! These nutrients release into the broth during the cooking process making them super easy for the body to absorb.
3. Anti-ageing and skin health benefits:
Bone broth is super rich in collagen (as you can probably tell by now), but those benefits of collagen are not simply limited to our gut and bones, they have incredible benefits for the skin as well.
The reason collagen is one of the big players in the beauty industry is because it is a protein that is found in both the skin and connective tissues, it is what we lose as we age and therefore (wrinkles), it gives the skin the bouncy youthful look. It has also been linked to stronger hair and nails.
Unfortunately our collagen stores start to break down and reduce from 25 years old!!! Having bone broth regularly will provide you with your collagen intake to help with those anti-ageing benefits, paired alongside a great skincare routine your body will thank you for it in years to come!!
4. Supports your immune system and can reduce inflammation:
70% of your immune system lives in your gut, so the fact that bone broth is great for gut health already speaks volumes. Not to mention the bone broth contains key amino acids in fighting the common cold such as cysteine, glutamine and arginine. These aid in the reduction of inflammation, breaking down mucus and clearing the respiratory system.
Whilst we may need a small amount of inflammation from time to time, it is the chronic inflammation from ongoing stressors (internally and externally); think work, food, mental state, relationships, exercise etc that can cause wear and tear on the body at a more rapid rate than it can heal.
So having these amino acids as part of your daily or weekly routine can help reduce the inflammation and stress on the body, help the healing and recovery process too! Win-win!
5. Aids sleep and weight loss:
Probably two of the most common complaints I get as a wellness coach, is people struggling to sleep and to lose weight, so if there is going to be something that can help with both, then it is a win in my books!
There is research to show that the amino acid glutamine (found in bone broth) helps maintain energy and boost our metabolism, it is one of the reasons why it is so great to drink during a fast (check out my 4-day gut reset fast here) - Link to blog. There is also the amino acid glutathione in bone broth that helps in the building/recovery of muscle. As we know, the more muscle mass we have on the body, the more fat we burn at rest as it increases our BMR (basal metabolic rate). These are a few of the key ways bone broth can aid in weight loss.
When it comes to sleep, it is in my opinion the most IMPORTANT element to consider when we look at health and well-being. There isn’t a single process in the body that isn’t affected by sleep. If we can find a way to not only get optimal quantities of sleep but QUALITY, we are going to be feeling healthier and happier all around (and as a byproduct can often shift weight/heal the gut too.)
Bone broth can help relax our central nervous system as it contains the amino acid glycine. This in turn helps us fall asleep. It also contains some magnesium which is essential for a good night's sleep too. So whilst it can promote energy, it can also be used to wind down and could be something you think about adding to your evening supplement routine.
WHERE TO FIND BONE BROTH
When it comes to bone broth, you cannot go past a good batch of homemade chicken broth that has been slowly cooked for 24 - 48 hours! However, if you are also a busy human like myself this isn’t always an option which is why I have the powder from Mitchell’s Bone Broth every single morning (before breakfast). So quick, easy and simple! Then when I get a chance, I’ll get a homemade batch going!
So there you have it… all the reasons bone broth should be or could be a part of your diet! Enjoy!

Self Care 101
SELF-CARE TIPS + TRICKS YOU NEED IN YOUR LIFE RIGHT NOW!!
18 / NOVEMBER / 2020
Sheree's Health Diaries
This is probably the billionth time you have read this… but WHAT A YEAR IT HAS BEEN! I’ve seen memes around since about July:
Whilst this is good for a laugh, the reality of it is that a LOT of us are tired, drained, and burnt out - emotionally, physically and mentally! And who can blame us! It has been tough, like nothing anyone has experienced before, and the first thing you can do, is give yourself some GRACE!
There is no RIGHT WAY to navigate through these times, know and trust that you are doing your best, and that is all we can ask right now!
Having seen so many clients in this state - just out of energy and ready for a holiday/break (not one that is forced upon us or keeping us locked inside)... I thought I would share some pearls of wisdom in the hope it helps not only to get you through, but actually THRIVING!
When it comes to self-care there is so much more than meets the eye. Just like the tip of an ice-burg, we often only see things at surface level and, sometimes can hesitate or even be completely unaware as to what truly lies underneath.
It is easy to get lost in, and is by no means the wrong approach to spend time and money on things that light you up, and relax you like massages, facials, skin care, exercise, supplements or having a wine with a friend!
However, we can go a layer deeper to truly fill up our own cup and inner world a little more! These are some of my favourite things to do. Whilst it may be slightly uncomfortable at the time, the feelings, lightness, joy and RELIEF you have after is WELL WORTH IT!
HEALING SELF CARE PRACTICES
When we go a little deeper, and look into incorporating practices like meditation, breathwork, journaling and open conversations these can allow us to not only be more present in our day to day lives, but bring awareness to the things inside of us that need to be healed.
Healing ourselves is a matter of not only the physical, but the emotional, mental and spiritual too. This is where there is a little more time, energy, attention and love needed. These elements of self-care include things like healing trauma, letting go of attachments, learning from triggers, setting boundaries and inner work, alongside nourishing your body with foods that serve you, having time for tears and laughter, play and joy!
This past year I have really been on my own healing journey and can truly say how POWERFUL it has been in shifting my energy, mentality, increasing productivity, achieving goals and breaking old patterns and cycles for good!
I can say honestly and whole-heartedly this is the work that has been LIFE CHANGING and I cannot wait for you to experience it!
We know we cannot give from an empty cup, so I encourage you to set aside time for yourself every day (even if it is just 10 - 15 minutes) or maybe it's 1 - 2 hours a week JUST FOR YOU! (And NO it doesn’t include exercise).
Maybe you start with a simple meditation in the morning, or you light a candle in the evening as you unwind from your day and just sit with your thoughts, maybe you journal out your thoughts, feelings and emotions from the day, and look at your triggers, or maybe you start with 3 daily gratitudes.
Whatever it is, make sure it lights YOU up! This is not about anyone else, it is not selfish to take time for yourself, in fact we can give more when we have more… so I suggest this isn’t something you take lightly!
This shouldn’t be something “I’ll get to when I have the time” because the truth is we MAKE TIME for things that matter… starting now!
MY CHALLENGE TO YOU
My challenge for you right now is to write down 10 - 15 things you love doing just for you!! Just put pen to paper and write! Then pick at least one thing off that list to do daily, change it up day to day or aim to do it consistently for a week.
For me, I love reading, dance parties, journaling, getting on a call with a friend to do some guided inner work and meditation (and many more). Three of those things are part of my daily routine and can take me as little as 30 minutes in the morning… remember IT GETS TO BE SIMPLE!
Show yourself some extra grace and love this time of year, give the gift of being yourself and showing yourself that love and care you truly deserve!
With all my love,
Sheree xo

4 Day Fast Gut Reset Reflection
MY 4 DAY FAST GUT RESET REFLECTION
11 / NOVEMBER / 2020
Sheree's Health Diaries
As many of you may have seen on my instagram, a couple of weeks ago, I completed a 4 day fast as both an experiment and a RESET!! It was quite the journey and I learnt a lot about myself and my body! It was a concept I first discovered reading Dr Michael Ruscio’s book - Healthy Gut, Healthy You
To give you a bit of context, I have never been a big fan of fasting, in regards to intermittent fasting like the 16:8 diet, because a lot of the research and benefits have only been done on males, and the side effects for females often aren’t worth doing this kind of fast.
However, I have done a 2-day fast in the past from Dr. Axe in the aim to help heal my candida and I couldn’t believe how good I felt, and that I managed not to eat for 2 days. So I decided that I wanted to apply the same concepts from both fasts, but with my own spin, and so created my own 4-day reset.
The idea around the reset or as Dr. Ruscio calls a modified fast, is that it allows your gut a chance to repair and restore, it gives the gut a break and allows a chance for healing. Using the analogy of giving the body a rest if you’ve sprained an ankle. If you are constantly overloading the digestive system with foods, it often is focusing on processing that and cannot truly do the repair work it needs on itself.
So, being aware that this year has caused me a fair amount of stress, that my candida was having a flare up, and I needed an energy boost/reset I decided to embark on a little trial run! You can see my live 4-day commentary on my experience over on my instagram @strengthen.heal.nourish under my highlights section too.
For someone who LOVES food, I wasn’t sure I’d be able to get through a full 4 days, but I was determined to try! And I DID! It’s not to say I wasn’t hungry from time to time, but I managed to combat this by adding in a little lemon, honey, ginger hot drink to tide me over (only 1 tsp. of honey - not to worry).
HERE'S WHAT I NOTICED
DAY ONE: I felt GREAT! I couldn’t believe how much energy I had, how the brain fog instantly cleared and I wasn’t even hungry until around 3.30/4pm. I did some light yoga in an attempt to tone down my physical output, and then had a super clear mind. Had a little trouble falling asleep however, and learnt that I cannot take my supplements on an empty stomach or I will feel nauseous.
DAY TWO: I woke up feeling like DEATH, I had the most terrible nights sleep, tossing and turning, getting up to pee, and just really didn’t feel like I had gotten any rest at all. My apple watch which I use to track my sleep on Autosleep app, showed I hadn’t got anymore than 15 minutes of deep sleep (and I normally average 2 hours). So, I wasn’t too happy with this, but nevertheless, I had to continue on my day.
Day two was the most tiring, I was exhausted from the lack of sleep, and despite the fact I wasn’t that hungry, I was definitely not 100% focused or energised like the day before. I even had to have a power nap during the day. I had 2 x lemon, honey, gingers alongside my bone broths to get me through, as I was teaching a HIIT class that evening… great idea right!
To my surprise, it was quite possibly one of the best classes I have ever taught! I was so stoked! My mental clarity and energy really picked up after around 3pm and I was on fire!! The class was damn hard, and every muscle ached (in a good way), but I think that’s what made it even better!
DAY THREE: Again, the sleep was terrible, by this stage too, bowel movements had become pretty much non-existent which was such a strange feeling, and it was like I had a bunch of toxins that were ready to be released, but the only way out was through urination and sweat.
Day three was probably the day I felt my best, despite the lack of sleep, my energy and mental clarity was fantastic, I had the energy of a 5 year old on sugar! I was bouncing around the room, spot on with my clients, did a dance/yoga session outdoors in the sunshine, and felt like I was truly healing, mentally, emotionally and physically.
Remember the gut plays a role in all areas of our life, influencing our mental and emotional state too! Not just our physical. So I was wrapped with how I was progressing. There was a slight bit of tiredness seeping into my evening clients, but I pushed through nonetheless.
DAY FOUR: The final day! I woke up feeling like I had been hit by a bus, literally no energy to even move out of bed, I was exhausted, couldn’t even keep myself from nodding off during my morning meditation and reading. Everything ached, the lack of sleep was really wreaking havoc on my body.
I actually was fortunate enough to be able to have another little sleep for 30 minutes an hour after waking, and I was extremely mindful that ‘that time of the month’ was due the next day and is often when we get the most tired. However, after my nap, I woke up feeling a million times better, and energised and continued to feel this way for the rest of the day.
I had intentions of doing some strength training this day, but I listened to my body instead and just did some light yoga flow again as I didn’t want to wind up exhausted. I knew my sleep wasn’t going to be the best again either, the hunger was pretty much non-existent by this point and I felt like I could just keep going. However I was excited to eat something and get the bowels moving again.
DAY FIVE: As predicted, my sleep wasn’t the best, but I was thankful to have completed my 4 days and the reset I felt was well worth it!! I was never doing this to lose weight, but was really curious what would’ve happened and I had dropped 3kgs in the 4 days. So, there was obviously a massive calorie deficit, but my body had let go of a lot of toxins too!
The first meal I had I noticed instant brain fog, but that left after an hour. Energy levels stayed constant, but my appetite had really shrunk. I struggled to finish even my breakfast. It has been very much the same for the past two weeks which I have found super interesting.
All in all, it was a great experience and experiment, and something I would highly recommend to my clients, in fact I am designing a comprehensive guide to walk you through a 4-day gut reset (so watch this space)!
OVERALL HERE'S WHAT I EXPERIENCED
→ Increased + sustainable energy
→ Improved mental clarity
→ Increased focus + productivity
→ Increased mobility
→ Decreased stress
→ Decreased inflammation
→ Decreased appetite
→ Decreased deep sleep
It was super interesting about the sleep, and something I am doing more research in, but I am still noticing the benefits of the fast now. The most amazing part was that I truly felt ALIVE within my body!
If you have any questions about this, or are interested in doing the 4-day gut reset fast DM me on Instagram or comment below your thoughts or questions!!

How I Reset My 2020 After Being The Heaviest I’ve Ever Been
HOW I RESET MY 2020 AFTER BEING THE HEAVIEST I’VE EVER BEEN
04 / November / 2020
Sheree's Health Diaries
I’m not going to lie, I wasn’t SHOCKED when I stepped on the scales after lockdown… I’m not normally a fan of the scales, in fact I don’t own any, but I was curious to see what changes my body had gone through after the first 8 weeks I was stuck in mandatory lockdown.
With more stress, less time, longer days, less energy, more food, less weight training, I couldn’t be surprised with the fact that the scales had jumped up!
In fact, coming out of LOCKDOWN 1.0 I was the BIGGEST I have ever been.
I was even too scared to post this photo both here and on instagram because of how much I judged myself, and the fact that I had allowed myself to get my body to this state (even as a wellness coach).
MY TRUTH
Don’t get me wrong, I believe in beauty in all shapes and sizes, but anyone who has been on a ‘weight loss’ journey will know there are times where you just feel UNCOMFORTABLE in your skin, no matter what size you are.
For me, this wasn’t about the weight, it was about how much I had mistreated my body. The number on the scales was just a reflection of that.
The toll that the stress had taken from this quarantine, had meant I had turned to food as a way of de-stressing and coping with my overwhelm and being overworked.
Let me paint the picture for you, over lockdown I took on too many collaborations, LIVE trainings, clients and new projects, working 12 - 14 hour days, in amongst that trying to get in a workout, journaling, yoga, mediation, time with family/relationships, cooking EVERY MEAL, and managing to run my business.
There were days where I was literally so overwhelmed and stressed (and my cortisol was that high), that I would burst into tears in the middle of training. This was my first warning sign!
My whole lifestyle had changed, I was now behind a computer 95% of my day, making sure I did yoga daily as some effort to get myself calm and still keeping up ‘weight training’ with what little equipment I had 5 x a week.
My poor body was in absolute shock! Whilst I was putting in a few methods and measures to make sure I didn’t completely shut down, my body needed something more to cope with the stress, and this is where the peanut butter cup ice cream came in.
I would, in all honesty, sit down, with a tub of ice cream at the end of each night and polish off at least half (if I decided to share it with my partner). My body was craving the carbs + sugar to nourish my worn out adrenals and energy.
As a result, I got my body to an immense state of inflammation, hormones began to go in disarray, gut issues came back, not to mention my mindset was SHIT because how could I be a wellness coach, if I wasn’t even able to walk my own talk.
This is where I became my client all over again!
RESETTING
Now in the shoes of where most of my clients come to me, I saw this as an opportunity to retest my methods, and RESET my body, aiming to be even stronger, healthier and happier than ever before.
Again, this wasn’t about shifting the weight, but as you probably know, weight loss is often a byproduct of being healthy!
I knew the necessary steps I had to take, and I’m really proud of myself, that this didn’t trigger a relapse for me, and bring back my need to induce vomiting. It also wasn’t ‘binge eating’, because I was consciously aware of what I was putting into my body, and how much, had complete control over it, I just wanted to eat it and knew it was serving me in the moment to get me through this stressful time!
However, this FULL RESET was needed to get me back to my optimal health and well-being, physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually!
Our bodies are constantly changing, and adapting to what is around us, which is why it can be so damaging to our physical and mental health if we focus solely on the destination rather than the journey.
The issue I see with a lot of diets and ‘fitness challenges’ out there, is that it isn’t sustainable. It’s more focused on what you can achieve in ‘X’ weeks, and then good luck from there… often with the hope you will fail, then need to do another one so they can make more money off you!
And THIS is why I created RADIANCE RESET! A 4 Week Fast Track, designed to give you back the body you deserve to have!
It didn’t take me long to get myself back into great habits, and heal, and RESET my body to a point where I was THRIVING again! So, I wanted to create something to show you just how easy it could be for you too!
I know 2020 had the same effect on so many of us, maybe yours didn’t result in countless tubs of tip top peanut butter cup ice cream and tears, but I know for a fact, mental and physical health was impacted for many on a number of levels!
I hope that my vulnerability, and honesty will allow you to see that even Wellness Coaches aren’t 100%, 100% of the time, but reaching your optimal health doesn’t have to be hard, or involve countless hours of cardio and calorie counting (these certainly aren’t the methods I used). I know this RESET and the RESULTS are possible for you too!
It’s time to shine, it’s time to RESET and radiate your beautiful energy and light! (And we do so by taking care of our body and mind first!)
