Toasted Maple Muesli

Making your own muesli is a fantastic way to have this crunchy addition in your pantry. The shop bought muesli can be very high in sugar and added colours and flavours. And the bonus of making your own is you can include all your favourite ingredients.Cook Time20 minsCourse: Breakfast Author: Alethea Mills

Did you know that timing and supplements can affec Did you know that timing and supplements can affect your test results? πŸ€” 

Some examples of this are below.

🩸 Biotin (vitamin B7) can lead to altered results in thyroid testing by falsely elevating T3 and T4 and by affecting troponin (a biomarker for heart attacks). Biotin is often found in B vitamins, prenatal supplements and often seen in hair/nails growth products.

🩸Strenuous exercise or alcohol consumption prior to testing can alter iron studies and other markers including creating kinase, thyroid hormones, albumin, bilirubin and CRP. Alcohol should be avoided 24-48hrs prior to testing.

🩸Timing - Testosterone is highest in the morning and decreases as the day progresses, same with cortisol making morning testing generally more preferable.

🩸Fasting - recommended prior to most blood tests. An overnight fast and having blood taken first thing in the morning is ideal for most testing. It is important however, to be hydrated when testing is done as dehydration can affect some markers. I’m talking water for hydration, avoid caffeine πŸ˜‰

🌱General advice is avoid supplementation approximately three days prior, avoid strenuous exercise and alcohol, maintain a similar diet with a fasting period the night before whilst remaining hydrated. This is very general and will change with the individual and current treatment so always speak to your practitioner before ceasing any supplementation/medication.

Athletes are often at higher risk of injury, which Athletes are often at higher risk of injury, which makes sense right, if you are involved in physical activity you are more likely to obtain an injury than sitting on the couch. Of course the benefits of physical activity over sitting on the couch are numerous, so don’t at me πŸ˜‰

Investigating why the athlete is injured is always an essential step. Worthy considerations to minimise future risk are to assess if the athlete is energy deficient, review mechanics, insufficient sleep and/or rest days, lack of strength training to name a few.

Then it’s all about recovery which involves physical rehab with a chosen practitioner such as physio, myotherapy, acupuncture, massage with reputable practitioners. And then there is nutrition! 🍏πŸ₯©βœ¨

Consuming adequate energy is necessary for healing, however some key nutrients to consider are:

✨Fractures: focus on bone building nutrients - calcium, vitamin D, magnesium
✨Inflammatory conditions (ones that end in β€œitis”- anti-inflammatory nutrients and antioxidants such as omega3, curcumin, berries, vitamin A, C, E. Not nutrition related however I found great relief in rolling the foot on a frozen water bottle for plantar fasciitis!!
✨Joint pain - grass fed hydrolysed collagen - taken in the hour prior to strength training is πŸ‘ŒπŸΌ
✨Muscle injuries - adequate protein and BCAAs can be helpful here too.

If you are finding you have recurrent injuries, stress fractures, joint pain, get in touch and we'll get you on the road to feeling great πŸ‘
