Eat a balanced diet: We know you know this, but a healthy diet provides the necessary nutrients for optimal physical and mental functioning and it doesn't have to be complicated (we promise!). Eating whole foods, including fruits, vegetables, and enough protein (not eating enough protein is one of the first things practitioners correct when you go and see a naturopath), this can help stabilise your blood sugar, improve your gut health, and enhance your mood. If you are looking for an easy meal, try our one pan dinner.

Get regular movement: Exercise releases endorphins, which can improve your mood and reduce stress. We know this right? Did you know it can also improve your sleep quality, and increase your overall energy levels. So if you haven't moved for awhile try something new that would feel fun or that you would enjoy. The Pilates Class got us back to moving after two kids, and forever grateful for that.

Prioritise sleep: A lack of sleep can lead to mood swings, fatigue, and a weakened immune system.
