Just an average Tuesday afternoon wine tasting @lovewineje with Lucy (owner Nude Food) and Tony (new chef) for the soon to open @nudefoodbeach
All the wines have been made with low intervention and organic or biodynamic and natural ferment. Also farmed responsibly. Great! Less allergic reactions and maybe even less of a hangover😀👍

Chicken and Red Pepper Chilli
I have been having a bit of a cook-off this afternoon, making meals for the freezer. I came up with this tomato-free chilli after a few conversations this week with some of my Metabolic Balance clients that don't have tomatoes on their list. It is also a good recipe for my clients with auto-immune conditions who do better without tomatoes.

How hormonal imbalance can make us fat - the functional medicine approach
Do you crave carbs, sugar or wine?
Do you comfort eat when stressed?
Do you eat more at certain times of the month?
Are you menopausal and have gained weight?
Do you eat a lot but rarely feel full?
Have you been diagnosed with thyroid disorder?
Do you get shaky if you don’t eat regularly?

If you have answered YES to any of the above and you are struggling to lose weight then hormones may be to blame.
For example if you are stressed then your stress hormones will kick in. These hormones were really designed to defend ourselves by fighting to fleeing when faced with physical danger while we were out hunting and gathering. When these hormones are switched on the body prioritises actions like blood flow to the muscles to support action. Fats and sugars are released to provide fuel. The digestion shuts down so will not work properly. Excess cortisol can trigger high blood sugar, insulin and leptin resistance (fat storage/appetite management hormones), insomnia (we burn most fat whilst we are sleeping) and more. All of this creates an inflammatory state and it is very hard to lose fat while inflammation is high.
And more about Leptin - the satiety hormone. Leptin is a hormone that comes from our fat cells. Leptin is our body fat gauge and it is how our brain knows how fat or thin we are. So if this is working well our brain should adapt our appetite and fat-burning capacity to keep us at our perfect fat percentage. For various reasons, such as bad diet or stress our bodies become a metabolic chaos and the fat cells produce too much leptin. The brain becomes confused and can’t cope with all this Leptin so it shuts its doors. Now the brain does not know how much food we should eat to keep us at our optimum weight.
I use a Functional Medicine approach to weight loss, that is always looking for the root cause of why someone can’t lose weight. Without getting to the root cause and tailoring a plan accordingly it is often hard to lose weight or keep it off long-term. I also use my intuition from years working with clients. What works for one person may not work for another.
