These are the resources that helped me understand the importance of Nutrition and mindset to my health and wellbeing. It has been a combination of all I have learned and applied to my own day to day nutrition and practises that has gotten me to where I am today.
Remember no one person is the same as the next which is why it is important that you read and research for yourself.
I continue to research, read and understand what is good for my body and mind. I will continue to share these resources on this blog in hope that it will help others on their journey.
