Fertilise Yourself – 30% off!

by mnfadmin on December 14, 2012

Because every single person needs to know this stuff – I've decided from now until Jan 1, 2013 – the book will be available at 30% less off it's normal price. A saving of over $5 per copy!

When I wrote Fertilise Yourself, I did so because I'm asked the same questions over and over. So I put all my best advice in the one spot, and put it all into an e-book, being sure to make it super pretty, easy to read (I'd like to think a little funny at times) and simple charts and graphs that are a no-brainer to follow. Oh, and there are 25 recipes too! See – everybody wins!

Now 6 months on since it's release, I've discovered a few things. Yes, people trying for a baby MUST read it. But moreover, everybody benefits from the principles outlined in this book because being fertile is all about being healthy – not necessarily making babies. What I've now realised is that this is the sort of guide that every woman needs to read. Weather she's 12 or 92. In fact, my heart hurts every time I hear a sister has had a laparoscopy or that she's been prescribed the pill to 'treat' endometriosis. Because, this isn't 'treatment' – it isn't a long life solution. And so, I need you to help me spread this message – which is why, I hope that by offering 30% off, I can help more women (and men) be educated, make better choices and see a healthier future.

And of course – it's a great Christmas gift delivered straight into your friend's inbox. No parking, and crowded malls to navigate!

Good Food Friday! My broad bean and pomegranate salad!

by mnfadmin on November 9, 2012

I have a serious love affair with pomegranates. It's a little winner on the nutrition stakes! (all this horse talk is sending me a little crazy!) And since we're all about the spring racing carnival here in Melbourne right now, you may have found yourself indulging over the week – so here's a salad to get you back on track and tick all the boxes on taste too!

This recipe is from my ebook 'Fertilise Yourself' where I share a stack of healthy, fertility-focussed foods. You can find more information here.

But now, to the recipe!

Broad bean and Pomegranate Salad

Try to use the fresh variety of broad beans. Otherwise, frozen options are available from supermarkets.

1 pack broad beans
1 pomegranate (seeds removed ready to be used)
1 tin Persian feta
juice of 1 lemon
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 garlic clove, crushed
1 bunch of mint
salt and pepper to taste

Combine the broad beans, pomegranate, 3/4 of the feta, and 1/2 the mint in a salad bowl. In a container, combine the lemon, garlic, oil, salt and pepper, and shake until the ingredients are combined and creamy. Pour the dressing over the salad, and toss to coat. Garnish with remaining feta and mint, and serve immediately!

Don't forget! All the recipes from the e-book are available FREE on my mini site. Remember – it's like an app and best viewed on your iPhone or iPad for easy access whilst you are whipping up the delicious treats in your kitchen!

Happy Friday!

A Good Food Friday recipe, and an update on the upcoming cleanse!

by mnfadmin on October 12, 2012

I've pulled a delicious healthy recipe from my archives for you, to get you ready and primed for our upcoming cleanse!

But first, about the cleanse… I'm excited – the team at Seathrustudio (who also did my Fertilise Yourself ebook, as an aside!) have redesigned the PDF we were using, so it all looks fresh and new – much like you'll look after completing the cleanse!

This cleanse is designed to show you just how good it feels to get clean and healthy – especially in spring. Spring is the perfect time as the cycle of life goes about cleaning and cleansing purposely in this season. My gentle body cleanse is based on alkaline principles, aiming to wash away the toxins that build up within. The PDF not only has all the rules, it explains more about why we do this, it outlines exactly what you need to do, lists the foods we will be eating as well as recipes. It's the perfect cleanse outline.

The cleanse is set to start October 22nd for 5 days.

Not registered yet? That's ok – hit me with an email and I'll forward on all the details.

Anybody can do it – you don't need anything special. Just a little will power and an open mind to the possibilities that come with cleansing! It really is good for you – body heart and soul… AND fertility! There a little more info here.

And now, a good food Friday recipe for you. Happy Friday!

shiitake and barley soup

8 dried shiitake mushrooms
1tbs oil/coconut oil
4 spring onions chopped
2 garlic cloves crushed
1 celery stick, diced
1 carrot, diced
250g fresh shiitake mushrooms chopped
2lt of veggie stock
200gm of pearl barley

Place dried mushrooms in a bowl with hot water. Soak for 30 minutes. Once soaked, squeeze out the liquid from the mushrooms and slice thinly.

Heat oil in a pan over a medium heat. Add spring onions, garlic, celery, carrot and fresh mushrooms. Cook for a few minutes, stirring, until softened. Add stock and barley and 125ml of water and bring to the boil. Reduce heat and summer for about 40 minutes, until the barley is tender.

Plate up and enjoy!

My Pinky McKay interview AND your FREE access to my mini site.

by mnfadmin on September 19, 2012

How hilarious is this picture! Pinky and I giggling like were 5!

Wa-ay back when (a couple of months ago but it feels like a lifetime ago!), after I released Fertilise Yourself, I was lucky enough to be interviewed by the wonderful Pinky McKay. I was tickled pink (haha boom!) for the opportunity to share with her just why the principles I reveal in the book surrounding fertile eating are applicable to all – those wanting to conceive, pregnant mothers, breastfeeding mothers and well… everybody actually! We talked about nutrition for new mums and why that's just so vital for both their physical and emotional health – plus how you can make awesome breast milk too.

I'm a huge fan of Pinky's. Take a listen – you might not have children yet nor be thinking about having them, but there is certainly something in this for everybody!

Good Food Friday: yoghurt with stewed fruits

by mnfadmin on August 24, 2012

Your breakfast sets the tone for your day, and eating well is one of the best things you can do. For ALL of yourself!

When you start with poor sugary cereals, your sugar levels peak and then plummet shortly after, as does your energy. You then start craving sugar. Soon after, the same thing happens again, and goes on all day. Meaning that your sugar levels are up and down like a clown on a pogo stick. It's for this reason that we benefit most from starting our day well.

Why not try my super easy yoghurt and stewed fruit recipe from my Fertilise Yourself ebook, which you can get hold of it here.

(an excerpt from my Fertilise Yourself ebook)

Yoghurt and stewed fruit

Fruit is super easy to stew.
Simply remove the peel or rind, roughly chop, add 1/4 cup of water, and stew until soft. You can stew almost anything, and use a combination of fruits to spice things up. I love stewed apples. Rhubarb is delicious too, especially when pear is added, as the sweet and sour flavours combine well. You can also warm up prunes for a delectable treat.
Ad some granola and yoghurt, and you have a treat worth sharing!

Eat Fit Food – I (devoured) cleansed for 5 days and ate fit for a queen.

by mnfadmin on August 13, 2012

Hello lunch!

I've just finished up 3 weeks work full-time. Hear that noise? It's me slumping into a chair because I'd be telling fibs if I said I wasn't tired. I'm really tired, but I had a few helpers to get me through – and at the top of my list of little elves were the team from Eat Fit Food and their 5 day cleanse! You might have seen a few pics of mine pop up on instagram. I've been loving and singing Eat Fit Food's praises all week because quite honestly – they took a lot of my stress load for the week.

my new (first) ebook!

by mnfadmin on April 26, 2012

You might think I've been in 'new mummy' bubble land lately, and I have, but not only for the 'new mummy' reasons! I've also been bunkered down writing my new (first!) ebook! I can't wait to share it with you.

'Fertilise Yourself' will be ready in a few weeks, and in a nutshell;

* it's a fertility how-to ebook

* it features a breakdown of what foods make you fertile and why

* it includes over 25 recipes to help you build your fertile body

* it helps you create a fertility-friendly pantry, and keep it that way!

* it includes a fertile shopping list – for you to print and keep

* foreword by Sarah Wilson

This ebook is all about priming your body for fertility, with plenty of tips and tricks for a wellness overhaul, and the 'how to' steps to set yourself up to win. If you're struggling with your fertility, or even just your general health, I know this ebook can help you navigate your way to being fueled and fighting fertility fit!

The ebook also includes general health and wellness tips like this:

"Eat foods that are room temperature or warmer especially during winter. This is very important to support healthy gut function and promote great health from top to bottom. Cold foods will lead to phlegm production and may cause disturbances to your health. This is especially essential for women who experience period pain – warm foods keep the blood pumping."

AND it's not just all for the girls! You can let the guys know: one of the most important aspects of treatment for abnormal and sluggish sperm is lots of regular intercourse. (thank me later guys…)

It's also looking pretty fun – thanks to the team at Sea Thru Studio who are doing a great job putting everything together
