Anti-Inflammatory Banana Oat Muffins 🧁
These have been my faaaavourite little snack for months now. I make sure I always have them stocked in my freezer.
They’re gut-lovin thanks to the beautiful soluble fibre found in oats, ground flaxseeds and banana (plus any extra goodness you add in the form of nuts and seeds).
Why I don’t say “beat the bloat” 🙊
Beat means to defeat. It insinuates power over or superior to your body. When I talk about soothing your bloating, I want to insinuate working with and caring for your body.
Can endometriosis impact your relationship with food and body? 🤷🏻♀️
Endometriosis is a condition that can result in you feeling like your body is out to get you. That even simple bodily functions feel out of control. “What’s my experience of pain going to be like today?” “Will I be bloated?” “Will I have diarrhoea or not go to the bathroom for the next five days?”
Surely that has a profound impact on how you feel about your body.
How is the menstrual cycle like a wave? 🌊
One of my favourite things to do when demystifying the menstrual cycle is comparing the menstrual cycle to a wave. Comparing our menstrual cycle to a wave helps to simplify our understanding of the menstrual cycle down to two phases, just like the ebb and flow of a wave. What I also love about the wave analogy is that it captures the subtle differences in energy in each phase beautifully. There’s a bit for prior knowledge required, so bear with me.
