3 Steps to a Healthier Body in 2023
3 STEPS TO A HEALTHIER BODY IN 2023!
8 / FEBRUARY / 2023
SHEREE'S HEALTH DIARIES
Every year we want to be our best selves, but often a lack of preparation lets us down! Which is why taking charge of your health early in the year is key to setting yourself up for success!!
Take yourself through these 3 steps to make sure you're starting the year with your healthiest foot forward.
3 STEPS TO A HEALTHIER BODY
1. CLAIM YOUR GOALS
And NO I'm not talking about your new year's resolutions, but actual goals... What symptoms do you want to be free of? How do you want to feel in your body? Define what your healthiest self actually looks like… then make a plan to get there!
If you claim them, write them down, make a vision board and then make a plan, you are keeping your mind focused on what you want to achieve. To quote Tony Robbins here ‘where focus goes, energy flows’. In other words, whatever you put your attention on is more likely to become a reality, so get super clear on what is it you want!
2. CREATE HEALTHY HABITS
Too often we go in with an all or nothing approach, like signing up to the gym and training everyday for the first couple of weeks, then burning our bodies out or injuring ourselves sets us back or to a complete halt
Pick no more than 3 new habits, and be REALISTIC with them. Maybe it's going to the gym 3 x week, preparing your meals in advance and meditating daily, but make sure it is something that feels doable and just a little outside your comfort zone.
Then pick a time and pop it as a recurring event in your calendar so it actually happens, and you can progress and increase from there. Trying to do everything all at once is a recipe for failure (take it from me - I learnt that the hard way). Let’s first build momentum and then keep progressing!
3. EAT WHOLE REAL FOODS
A healthier body is one that isn't inflamed, in pain or highly symptomatic - and this really does start with your food. Eating food that grew in the ground, walked on the earth, and is as close to nature as possible is a real food... Tell you what you don't see growing on a farm
A field of bagels!
Put it this way, the less processed the less inflammatory, it really is that simple. You don't have to overhaul your entire pantry, start slow, make some swaps and increase your greens, you'll be amazed at how much better you feel.
Take a slower trip around your supermarket (btw I say AROUND because the perimeter is where you will find the REAL food). Plan you meals before you go, read the ingredients on the ‘food’ you pick up, and get curious about what you’re really putting into your body.
BONUS STEP: GET TO THE ROOT CAUSE!!
If you've been struggling with your health, and really aren't sure where to start, or you feel like there is something deeper going on in your body and you just want some answers… Check out my FREE root cause quiz, filled with tips, tricks and action steps to help your body step into your healthiest self - because when we heal from the root, we heal for good!

What on earth do carrots have to do with detoxing? Well A LOT actually! Carrots are superstars when it comes to supporting our gut and hormone health!
The indigestible fibre you’ll find in carrots actually support in protecting the gut, and having grated carrots or raw carrot (if chewed well), can reduce the reabsorption of estrogen in the gut, as well as reducing the levels of bacterial endotoxins.
This is because of the fibre as well as the antibacterial, antifungal, antimicrobial properties which enable it to act as a natural antibiotic in the gut! Which is especially important when our body’s detoxification systems are overwhelmed!
We don’t want those extra estrogens or harmful bacterias to wind up crossing the gut lining and into the bloodstream! Or say goodbye to balanced hormones, optimal digestion and a regular metabolism!
This recipe is super popular and originated from a guy called Dr. Ray Peat… and was taken directly from my Cycle Syncing Crash Course Bundle Follicular Phase Recipe Book, if you want to check out more recipes and ways to live, eat and exercise in sync with your cycle check it out here!

INGREDIENTS
- 1-2 raw whole carrots, rinsed with skin on (preferably organic)
- 1 tsp. apple cider vinegar
- 1 tsp. virgin coconut oil or extra virgin olive oil
- Pinch of iodised sea salt, to taste
METHOD
1. Grate or peel the carrots thinly
2. Add the ACV, then oil, then salt and mix
3. Add to any meal you like, and keep in the fridge to enjoy for up to 5 days!

Looking for a mood and energy boost in the morning but trying to stay away from that cuppa joe?
This smoothie might just be a great alternative for you! Packed full of antioxidants, and nutrients to support your brain function and concentration, as well as elevate your mood.
The key ingredient in this smoothie being the Goddess Greens powder which has barley grass, cinnamon and matcha (green tea).
Swapping regular coffee for the matcha will still give you an energy boost, but be a lot kinder to your nervous system and has way more antioxidants.
The cinnamon helps support keeping your blood sugars balanced, which is essential for balanced hormones.
And the barley grass helps support the acid-alkaline balance in the body… WIN, WIN, WIN!!
You could have this powder on its own with some milk of choice, or try it in the smoothie recipe I put together below!
INGREDIENTS
- 1 serve of Goddess Greens powder
- ½ banana
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (I used @mitchell.nz)
- 1 cup unsweetened alt. milk (I used almond)
- ½ cup of ice to pour over (optional)
METHOD
- Pop all the ingredients together in a blender, blend and serve over ice! Enjoy!

How To Survive Temptation During The Holiday Season
HOW TO SURVIVE TEMPTATION DURING THE HOLIDAYS
7 / DECEMBER / 2022
SHEREE'S HEALTH DIARIES
First of all, let me start off by saying there is NOTHING wrong with treating yourself any time of the year, and I am not here to support restriction or guilt when it comes to food!
I however also know this time of year can be really hard for a number of us who may have struggled with unhealthy eating habits or maybe you are still healing your relationship with food
December rolls around, and it can be so tempting to over-indulge on the chocolates, wines and festive treats… And I get it, as someone who used to struggle with binge-eating as a way to cope with stress, the holiday season used to be when I'd go ALL OUT!
But then I'd end up feeling like crap - crashing from all the sugar, bloated, and puffy and often end up rather moody at the time I wanted to be my happiest self
It's also not fun when you get to the end of the year and you feel like all of your hard work has gone out the window for a moment of sweetness or treats!
TIPS TO STOP BINGE EATING
Here are 3 things I did to help stop the binge-eating (which work especially well at this time of year) and I hope they help you too!
1. Up your protein intake
Before going to a holiday function or gathering, I always make sure to have a protein rich meal or smoothie so I know I am going to be satiated before I arrive, and less likely to mindlessly snack on things in front of me
2. Eat plenty of veggies
Whether you are going out, or staying in, the temptation often appeals more when you are hungry, so on top of adding in protein, make sure you are getting leafy greens and other beautiful colours on your plate, this might be veggie sticks, a salad or some sautéd broccolini it's up to you
Not only will this boost your micronutrients, but it will also keep you fuller and from there you can action step 3!
3. Enjoy the treat mindfully
If you've had the protein and veggies and still feel like that Christmas cookie, give yourself permission to enjoy it guilt free, and REALLY enjoy it
Don't scoff it down, or do it in secret, just be really present with it, eat it mindfully to enjoy the flavour of every mouthful and bite
But always ask yourself... is this going to serve me right now? And maybe the answer is yes (and that's fine), and maybe you realise it's not (and that's fine too), at least this way you are making a choice from an empowered place!

This dinner is super family friendly, as well as being super friendly for your gut! By now I imagine you’ve heard all the benefits of bone broth (if you haven’t I have a blog here for you).
Adding bone broth into a meal not only elevates the taste, but the health of your gut due to the boost of collagen and essential amino acids to help the healing and repairing of your gut!
This recipe was taken directly from my 4 Week Gut Reset Recipe Book, if you want to check out more recipes and ways to reset and support your gut health check it out here!
In the meantime, give this recipe a try!
INGREDIENTS
- 250g sirloin/eye fillet steak
- 100g button mushrooms, sliced
- ¼ cup coconut cream
- 1 clove of garlic, mashed
- 150g potatoes
- 1 tbsp. olive oil
- ¼ cup bone broth, (as needed) - you can use 1 tbsp. of powdered bone broth or paste if you prefer
- salt + pepper to taste
METHOD
- Place potatoes and ½ tbsp. salt in a large saucepan, add water to cover by 2cm, and bring to boil over high heat.
- Reduce heat to medium and simmer until potatoes are tender and a paring knife can be easily slipped in and out of potatoes, 18 to 22 minutes.
- Whilst the potatoes are cooking, in a large frying pan on medium heat, add olive oil and garlic, bring to a simmer before adding the steak
- Allow the steak to cook for about 5-8 minutes each side, depending how rare you like it, before removing it from the pan and setting aside to rest.
- Add the mushrooms to the pan and keep on medium heat, browning the mushrooms, before adding the coconut cream and stirring through for no more than one minute.
- Remove from the heat and pour over the steak.
- Drain potatoes and return them to the saucepan.
- Cook over low heat, stirring, until potatoes are thoroughly dried, about 30 seconds.
- Remove from heat and, using potato masher, mash potatoes until smooth and no lumps remain. Stir in bone broth, oil, and salt to taste.
*N.B. You can use the second serve of the recipe to have for leftovers the next day

Fermented foods are becoming so popular with all the hype around how much it can support gut health, and there is definitely a beautiful place for them, however I often find people use them far before their tummies are ready.
With my clients, I often suggest we pause on the fermented foods first and focus on rebuilding and repairing before adding them in. Fermented foods are amazing prebiotics, and kefir is no exception. I have also found it is something myself and my clients tolerate far better early on (and from then on) in our journey’s than other fermented foods which is why I love @thewildfermentary kefir!!
I love having this once or twice a week as a drink (in a wine glass, because why not), but with my new obsession with gummies, I thought it would be awesome to try to make some. That way we combine the repairing with the prebiotics and let me tell you it was a great success!
Be sure to use my discount code: ‘SHEREE10’ if you want 10% off The Wild Fermentary Kefir!
Side note: the gelatin is amazing to support gut health and repair gut lining, so these gummies are a win win! Check out the recipe below :)
INGREDIENTS
- 1 cup kefir (I used @thewildfermentary)
- 4 Tbsp. gelatin (I used the nutraorganics natural grassfed unflavoured)
- 3 Tbsp. stevia (you can use honey instead, I was just keeping the sugar way down)
METHOD
1. Add the kefir to small - medium saucepan
2. Sprinkle the gelatin over the juice (try spread it out evenly), and let it sit for a few minutes, this allows the gelatin to ‘bloom’
**You will notice a wrinkled look forming on the surface as the liquid absorbs the gelatin
3. Stir the mixture together
4. Put on a low-medium heat and stir gently until the gelatin has dissolved for around 5 minutes
5. In the last minute or so add the stevia (or honey) and make sure this is well mixed through
6. Remove from heat and pour into silicone moulds (I got mine from @littlegiantsstore and found using a tear dropper helped massively too. Alternatively you can use a container as long as it lifts out easily.
7. Pop in the fridge for 2+ hours for it to set
8. Remove from moulds or cut them up (if in a container) and keep refrigerated for up to 14 days. Enjoy!

Should You Have Cheat Meals
SHOULD YOU HAVE CHEAT MEALS
19 / OCTOBER / 2022
SHEREE'S HEALTH DIARIES
Should I have cheat meals or a cheat day? Where do treat foods fit into my meal plan? 🍩
This is a question I often get asked as a nutritionist, and my answer may come as a surprise to you…
Long story short, I am not a fan, anyone who’s worked with me, will understand why I don’t believe in TREAT or CHEAT MEALS! 🙅🏼♀️👎🏽 But let me share exactly why with you…
WHY I DO NOT BELIEVE IN "TREAT OR CHEAT MEALS"
Firstly, from a personal note I suffered from an eating disorder for over 3 years and I find words like these very triggering. 😓 In fact, it was from being so restrictive with my calories and feeling like it had to be an all or nothing approach that contributed massively to my eating disorder.
Now, you may not have been there, but the majority of women I work with, do have an unhealthy relationship with food, whether that is binge eating, under eating, stress eating, boredom eating… you name it.
And when we have a ‘treat’ and label it as such or ‘cheat’ it often adds to the guilt around the food. We have to be so mindful of the words we use with ourselves… Food language is another massive issue but I will leave that ted talk for another day.
Secondly, I am a huge believer in INTUITION + BALANCE! ⚖️ Your body is intelligent and whilst you may get a hankering for some chocolate the week before your period, this isn’t your body working against you (believe it or not)
It is actually often a sign we need some extra magnesium (the beautiful nutrient that helps with stress and cramps and we don’t eat enough of), and chocolate contains magnesium so this is why we can crave it.
SOLUTION: get a high quality magnesium supplement that you take daily, and if you still want the chocolate before your period, enjoy it… mindfully!
In terms of the BALANCE factor… we have to learn to put things into perspective. Remember that all or nothing approach and restrictive dieting is not a long term fix… instead, look at your entire week and see how BALANCED it is.
I teach my clients to look at it this way… Your average person eats 35 meals a week! 🤯 (3 main meals and 2 snacks)... so if you have 2 - 3 meals ‘off’ a week, it’s really not the end of the world is it!
From personal experience and with clients I have found treat foods or cheat meals often leads to overindulgence, bingeing and guilt 😣🍫
Have you ever found yourself saving up for a ‘cheat meal’ only to feel completely sick 🤢 afterwards because you ate waaaay more than you normally would out of fear of not getting to eat it for another week/month etc? 😫
In all honesty, this used to be me, I’d wait till Saturday evening came around, and then binge on burgers or pizza, ice cream, chocolate and lollies. 🍔🍕🍬🍫
Then I’d feel so guilty, I would go and purge to make myself feel better. 🤮
Not everyone is like this, but it is very easy to get into the mentality of restriction then bingeing, so I would rather discourage it. 👎🏽
WHAT I DO RECOMMEND
Simply listening to your body, planning ahead with your social calendar 🗓 , and enjoying meals as you want, when you want within moderation completely guilt free is totally FREEING! 🙌🏽
Ditch that diet mentality, if you’re out for dinner and you want a wine 🍷 or pasta 🍝 … get it (if you want it, and ENJOY IT)!!
The only time I suggest we rain it in, is if this is your everyday life. We want to be eating whole real foods at least 80% of the time. 🍏 Think moderation, and intuition as well as freedom! And remember, progress over perfection! ✨
I hope this has helped and if you have any questions at all feel free to comment below, I am here to support!

Detox time can often suck, you feel super restricted, there’s only so much you can do to make the food taste good, especially when you’re on the liver detox I do where there’s no salt! Whaaaatt!!
Often the thing I find the hardest is not having something to chew or sink my teeth into, and sometimes I just crave a little something after dinner, so when I had the idea to create little healthy gummy lollies I was so excited!
I actually tried and failed a number of times with this, but I am so pleased I persevered!
I chose cranberry juice in particular because it is something I am drinking on my detox currently as it is an awesome diuretic (helping with fluid retention) which supports detoxification and pulls out the water stored in our fat.
Cranberries themselves are also supportive for our lymphatic system - helping with things like cellulite and breaking down fatty particles in our body due to the flavonoids and enzymes inside.
The important thing here is that we aren’t using a crappy high sugar supermarket cranberry juice, but one that is pure cranberry juice, not concentrate! I personally used Lakewood Farms Organic Pure Cranberry here in NZ, just be sure to check the ingredients and sugar content on yours if you choose to use it.
You can replace cranberry juice with any other juice (again keep in mind the sugar content), I have also tried with lemon juice which is a bit sour but yummy!
Side note: the gelatin is also amazing to support gut health and repair gut lining, so these gummies are a win win! Check out the recipe below :)
INGREDIENTS
- 1 cup cranberry juice (I used Lakewood Farms Pure Cranberry)
- 4 Tbsp. gelatin (I used the nutraorganics natural grassfed unflavoured)
- 3 Tbsp. stevia (you can use honey instead, I was just keeping the sugar way down)
METHOD (as adapted from @boobtofood)
- Add the cranberry juice to small - medium saucepan
- Sprinkle the gelatin over the juice (try spread it out evenly), and let it sit for a few minutes, this allows the gelatin to ‘bloom’
**You will notice a wrinkled look forming on the surface as the liquid absorbs the gelatin - Stir the mixture together

Should Females Be Intermittent Fasting
SHOULD FEMALES BE INTERMITTENT FASTING?
21 / SEPTEMBER / 2022
SHEREE'S HEALTH DIARIES
This is definitely one of my most commonly asked questions, is fasting healthy for women, should I be fasting as a female, what kind of fasting is okay for females?
You get the picture…
Well, I have a pretty direct opinion on this, and the research to back it.
HOW FASTING EFFECTS WOMEN
You may not know this, but females run COMPLETELY differently than males in terms of biology (particularly hormones)
Aaaaand… this has a MASSIVE impact on what ‘diets’ work (or don’t work for your body)
As a female, your sex hormones progesterone and estrogen play a major role in your metabolism and your ability to shift weight.
However these are greatly influenced by your stress hormone cortisol, and your blood sugar balancing hormone insulin, which play an even bigger role in weight loss.
If you fast on a daily basis as a female, you are communicating to the body that there isn’t enough food left in the world (hello survival response).
This then increases your cortisol levels, throws your blood sugar out of balance in order to try to preserve energy (in this case store FAT)
It ALSO communicates to your body that it is not safe to reproduce at this time and so it shuts down or reduces production of your reproductive hormones (estrogen and progesterone)
So, not only are you storing more fat, but you are now more likely to skip ovulation leading to PMS, mood swings, anxiety, period pain, tender breasts and other hormonal imbalances to name a few!
This is why I DO NOT RECOMMEND INTERMITTENT FASTING for FEMALES!!
WHY DON'T WE KNOW ABOUT THIS?
The unfortunate thing is, in most scientific research in the health and wellness field, especially around weight loss is done on MEN, then a small part on post-menopausal women
Which means that menstruating females (aka if you get a period) are left out of studies!
In fact it has been said that females of reproductive age make up only around 4% of the literature when it comes to health, wellness and weight loss!
Which is just crazy if you ask me! The only time a female should be doing IF is when she is post-menopausal because then you no longer have a cycle that is changing your hormones day to day!
If you want to know how to REALLY boost your metabolism, shift stubborn weight AND balance your hormones, my 12 week program will teach you how to do exactly that.
I have had a number of women actually go through my program who couldn’t believe how much better they felt ditching the fasting and eating more (and shifting weight as a result).
I dunno about you, but I definitely enjoy my food, so getting to eat more has always appealed to me, the key is to know how to eat for your body, and this is exactly what I teach you in Reclaim Your Radiance!
I hope this has helped and if you have any questions at all feel free to comment below, I am here to support!
