WHY I BECAME A NUTRITIONIST

Alethea Mills - BHSc Nut Med

The internet is flooded with people claiming to be health experts and doling out cookie-cutter nutrition advice. Navigating the world of nutrition alone can be overwhelming and confusing. But I am here to hold your hand throughout your journey to a healthier, happier you.

My name is Alethea Mills, and I’m passionate about helping people rediscover the spark of vitality deep within.

As a child, I loved to move my body and stay active. But as I gained weight throughout my teen years, I started believing that sport was only for the ‘fit girls’. So, I walked away from the healthy and active lifestyle.

As the years passed, working in hospitality and living the lifestyle that comes with it took its toll. Every day I felt more lethargic and less like myself. I’d get bloating and cramps when I ate. Eventually, I started to feel anxious and depressed.

I didn’t know what to do with my life. But I knew there had to be a better way to live. So, I began to look for a more vibrant way including regular movement.

I started studying a single health subject to see if it was a fit, and fell in love.

As I began to study the science of the human body, everything changed. With small changes to my diet and lifestyle, the bloating and cramping vanished, and my anxiety symptoms began to fade. I had found where I wanted to be.

Running became my newest passion, and I ventured into running events. I put my nutrition know-how to use, and saw how diet tweaks could boost my performance, minimise my chance of injury and supported the recovery process.

Thanks to nutrition, I successfully completed 4 half-marathons, a full marathon, a 34km sky run, The Kokoda Challenge 96km Gold Coast event and a 50km trail run over 4 years. But nutrition also soothed my gut, balanced my hormones, and gave me back my zest for life.

Running taught me a lot about myself. But it also taught me about training as a woman. So many women have never been taught that it’s natural to experience fluctuations in energy, performance and motivation. This is a normal part of our hormonal cycles. But instead of fighting against it, I want to help women like you to work with them, so you can achieve your goals.

Being able to understand the connection between exercise and hormonal changes was a turning point for me. Whether you’re a runner, a gym junkie, a weekend warrior or a yogi, I want to share my experience and advice with you.

If you’re ready to perform at your best every day, I’m here to help you do just that. When you have a happy gut and balanced hormones, you can take on the world and smash any goal!

Collagen 🌟 Taking collagen doesn’t equal an Collagen 🌟

Taking collagen doesn’t equal an instant face lift, thick hair or long nails, it’s not that simple. You don’t take a “skin” product containing collagen and your body says message received, fresh young skin for you 😉 in saying that it can help with skin health, however it doesn’t just go there first.

What is collagen? It’s a structural protein found in the connective tissues of the body.

Do you need to supplement? 🤔 If you have enough protein in your diet, you should be just fine without it.

It can be beneficial in some gut healing protocols. 

It has shown to have benefits for joint health. Got the crunchy cracky joints? Take collagen around an hour prior to weight training and you should notice an improvement. The slow movement of weight training is more effective than using prior to a run for example.

Coming back from injury? 😞 Collagen has shown benefits in faster return to training helping heal ligament and tendons faster 👌🏼
Thank you 🙏 Thank you 🙏
Matcha 💚 Matcha is a wonderful polyphenol (pla Matcha 💚

Matcha is a wonderful polyphenol (plant compound) that is helpful to increase gut bacteria such as bifidobacteria (you would’ve seen this on many probiotic bottles!).

You can gain benefits from green tea, however, you would need to consume many cups of green tea to a small 1/2tsp of matcha powder for the same effect. 

You can find organic matcha powder @thesourcegoldcoast 🌱

You can use green tea 🍵 however you would need to drink 3-6 cups of green tea to gain the same benefits of 1/4-1/2 tsp of match powder. I mean if you love green tea then knock yourself out 😉

Healthy microbiome equals better energy, nutrient absorption, blood sugar regulation, weight management and performance 💪🏼
