Right at this moment in time, I’m in the “loving and healing my gut” mindset.
Basically, I’ve been following the AIP diet since the beginning of May this year, and even though I’ve definitely felt the positive benefits of it, I have also been dealing with a few set-backs due to gut inflammation. Why and how this is happening, I may never know, but I’m on a mission.
So what is leaky gut?

The time has come for me to bid au revoir to the Secret Recipe Club.
A club I have been a part of for quite a number of years, and one I’ve enjoyed immensely.
Having been told I had Hashimoto’s (hypothyroidism) a few years ago, I made the big decision to focus on my health as naturally as possible - speaking with natural practitioners and through the goodness of seasonally grown organic food prepared as nutritionally as possible and with a whole lot of love.
“Let food be thy medicine”…. and all that stuff!

Dairy. Good or bad?
I've been researching this topic A LOT lately in connection with my thyroid issues. I'm still not sure how I feel. Anxious, scared, relieved, curious?
I have, however chosen to ignore all the research when it comes to my daily latte (for now).

I'm not normally one who runs around in circles or 'fluffs' around the edges of things. Being a Taurean, once my mind is made up it's full steam ahead, and watch out to anyone standing in the way.
So I'm at a loss as to why I'm fluffing around the edge of my health.
I've been told a million times from a million experts to run screaming away from gluten, but not wanting to be one of 'those people', I don't say anything and continue to munch away on food that's doing me harm.....and can I tell you.....I'm starting to suffer! What a wonderful thing our body's are when they tell you they need help. Now I just need to stop, breathe, listen AND act.

These are the biscuits I want with my tea.
Simple and plain. Dry and sweetless (I know, not a real word!)
They are not a celebratory biscuit and they're not award winning, but they're a round circle of pure comfort.
In fact, they're not sweet at all, which is perfect for my taste buds and my cup of tea, but for others upping the syrup content may be your answer, or perhaps a switch to raw honey or pure maple syrup would be your prerogative.
Whatever your decision - eat them on the day!

I'm a little bit excited at the moment (in fact, excited enough to almost pee my pants), as I've just booked myself into the Slow Living Photographic Workshop.
I've fallen head over heels in love with a blog that I've recently discovered, having been drawn in by her beautiful photography, and when I saw she was coming to Melbourne to teach .... well....pee!
