Use food to increase energy, balance hormones & control your health | Melissa Finlay - Nutritionist

Can all the tired Mums please raise your hand? Looking after little people is exhausting! Not to mention time-consuming. You're probably researching healthy kids meals on Pinterest and filling bento boxes with nutritional goodies. But there you are, shovelling the kid's crusts in your mouth and guzzling coffee to stay on top of things. Now from years of being subjected to fads and diets, it's no wonder we have pretty messed up views of food and the role that it plays. But now as Mums, this is a time when we need to understand how food can help us get through the looong days. Because as we know, our health is vital. That's why it was super important that I picked a guest who could speak to this topic in a way that's relatable to us as Mums. Basically someone who understands that we have our plates full (pun intended). Melissa Finlay is a qualified Holistic Nutritionist, a Personal Trainer and Pilates Instructor and Melbourne mum of two kids. Mel is on a mission to help Mums feel amazing about themselves, by giving you the tools you need to increase your energy and take back control of your health and wellbeing. In this episode, you'll hear all about hormonal and health concerns that are common to women. Such as hormone imbalance, PMS, Endometriosis & IVF. Mel explains how food and nutrition plays a role in the way these are experienced. She also shares tips around meal planning and creating positive habits. And then Mel kindly shares some simple snacks that'll help give you the best hit of energy (spoiler alert - it's not a Tim Tam). Tuning in?
