Fertilise Yourself eBook Nat Kringoudis-min

Fertilise Yourself – The Natural Fertility Guide

in , , /by

I was so inspired when I met Natalie Kringoudis at the Low Carb Down Under seminar series a few months ago. Natalie is a fertility guru, and Doctor of Chinese Medicine and Acupuncturist. She spoke at the Melbourne seminar about Fertility, and how so many couples who appear to be infertile, are able to conceive, by making changes to their diet and lifestyle.

She spoke at length about the difficulties many couples encounter, and how conditions like Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), can make it a lot harder for some women to conceive. It’s really refreshing to see a completely natural approach to health issues, instead of immediately reaching for medical intervention – when in some cases diet and lifestyle can make all the difference.

Natalie has a centre for Women’s Health & Natural Fertility in Melbourne, Australia – and has written an ebook, “Fertilise Yourself”, to help even more people.

Fertilise Yourself is a complete “how to” ebook, breaking down the foods that will help – and hinder your fertility. It also includes recipes to help build fertility and a fertility shopping list. The ebook is packed with advice on natural fertility, that you won’t find any where else. “Fertilise Yourself” is designed to help anyone get fertility fit, as even if you aren’t looking to conceive yet, fertility is an indicator of overall health. It’s never too soon to start to prepare your body for fertility.

So, if you’re looking for natural ways to improve your overall health and wellbeing, hormones and fertility – you might be interested to check out “Fertilise Yourself” here.

I’d love to hear your comments on the link between fertility and diet and lifestyle choices. Did adopting a Paleo diet help you?

Why You Should Add More Sulphurous Veggies To Your Diet

in , , , /by

I hadn't given much thought to sulphurous veggies, until reading about the Dr. Terry Wahls protocol. Dr Terry Wahls reversed her multiple sclerosis in part, by modifying her diet. She recommends eating 3 cups of leafy greens, 3 cups of antioxidants and 3 cups of sulfurous veggies every day.

What’s so special about sulfur and why should we eat more?

It might smells like rotten eggs, but sulphur is found all throughout our body in the connective tissues such as nerve cells, skin, hair and nails. It’s therefore essential that we can replenish the sulphur in our bodies – and what better way than eating sulfurous veggies?

So which vegetables are good sources of sulphur?

Broccoli

Broccoli is the top vegetable in the list of sulphurous vegetables. This cabbage is rich in the sulfur glucoraphanin. As soon as broccoli is chewed on or cut, the glucoraphanin is transformed into sulforaphane.

Other cabbages

Like broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, red cabbage and all the other forms of cabbage, are sulfurous vegetables. They contain organic sulphurous substances and are packed with vitamins.

Vitamin U, or cabagin, can be found in cabbages too, another reason to eat more cabbage. Cabbages are also rich in indoles, which help regulate estrogen metabolism. What is there not to love?!

Why You Should Add More Sulphurous Veggies To Your Diet Dr Tery Wahls paleo diet primal-min

Garlic

Garlic is probably the most used medicinal plant in history. Garlic works as an anticoagulant, which decreases the silting of platelets and inhibits the formation of blood clots.

Garlic also helps the immune system. The different sulfur compounds have antibacterial, antiviral, antiparasitic and antifungal properties.

Asparagus

As well as being a great source of sulphur, asparagus is rich in glutathione.

Other Sulphurous Vegetables

Chicory, endive and onions are also good sources of sulfur.

How to eat more sulfurous veggies?

You can eat these vegetable raw of cooked, so try adding to salads, or using for a green smoothie. Keep you fridge stocked with prepared veggies, to make it easy to add them to your meals.

The Primal Meal Plan

2 Comments/in , , , /by

What is a typical day of paleo meals for you? Have you got stuck in a meal plan rut?

Once you get a few favourite recipes under your belt, it’s easy to have the same meal over and over, which can get very boring. Eating repetitively is also depriving your body of nutrients that can be obtained from having a varied diet.

I was really interested to see Mark Sisson, over at Primal Blueprint, has started a primal meal plan program! Every Tuesday, he sends everyone who has signed up an email containing a brand new meal plan, shopping list and recipes for the entire week.

Primal-Blueprint-Meal-Plan

Every day is planned in full, with breakfast, lunch, dinner and a snack – the shopping list means you can print it out and can easily make sure you aren't missing any of the key ingredients. The recipes also make good use of the ingredients, meaning you won’t be buying a huge pumpkin – and wasting ¾ of it!

The meal plans provide about 50 – 100 grams of carbs a day (veggies and fruit, with the occasional use of a small amount of raw honey) and about 25% protein.

It’s easy to multiply up the shopping lists and recipes, meaning if you’re cooking for a big family – or like to cook up a big batch to give you extra to freeze and enjoy later – this will be easy to manage.

This seems like a great was to refocus and get some new recipes and ideas into your cooking repertoire. If you’re new to a Paleo diet, this is a great way to get a full introduction to eating primally, with the confidence that all of the foods are 100% approved! It’s also great to give you some inspiration about what to eat at meal times.
