I’ve always been a strong advocate for listening to our bodies and nourishing it with what it needs, when it needs it – without restriction.  This is what guides my community and I in living the Healthy Life… and also why I’m a big believer in a high-protein 3-5pm snack! A nourishing snack around 3-5pm can help to keep blood sugar levels stable until dinner time, combatting the afternoon slump many can experience.  The science of satisfaction Our bodies rely on a balance of macronutrients: protein, carbohydrates and fats. Each plays a vital role in influencing our energy levels throu ..read more

My latest salad is a real prep-ahead champion! It stars a colourful blend of roasted veggies on top of a bed of fluffy couscous garnished with my signature ‘salad sprinkle’ (keep in the fridge to add to your next salad or on top of yoghurt!) of crunchy nuts and seeds. The best part? This stores so well and tastes even better the next day, perfect for meal prep or quick weekday lunches. Customise with your choice of protein – I love shredded chicken, boiled eggs or chickpeas for a vegan option.  Enjoy, Jess x   Ingredients: 1 sweet potato, cubed 1 zucchini, sliced 1 red capsicum, in ..read more

As the days get cooler, there’s nothing like a soul-warming bowl of veggie soup to warm you from the inside out. Did you know that frozen veggies are just as nutritious as they are fresh? They’re usually harvested in peak season and then snap frozen to ensure they retain their optimal nutrient content. ⁠ I love that this recipe is so easy and flexible – it’s the perfect way to use up those extra veggies in my freezer! This one-pan vegetarian soup features my favourite cruciferous greens simmered in a rich veggie stock for a nourishing hug in a bowl. Serve with toasted sourdough and parmesan ch ..read more

Yes, I am turning another year older and wiser… and reflecting on the journey, you have all given me more than you know. I want to say thank you with my whole heart for being part of the JSHealth family. Your love and support are the greatest gift of all. This past year has been a journey of growth… filled with its own set of challenges and lessons (life is very imperfect!), but each hurdle has shown me just how strong we all truly are. Through it all, I’ve come to cherish the simple things – a healthy morning routine with a cup of coffee, quality time with my hubby or family, a good meal and ..read more

Breakfast is a wonderful opportunity to fuel your body and mind, setting you up for a grounded and productive day ahead.  As part of my morning ritual, I usually eat my breakfast once I get to the office alongside a little energy boost from my piccolo (one coffee a day before 10am… the JS Coffee rule!). The secret to a truly satisfying breakfast lies in a powerful trio: protein, healthy fats and fibre. These key ingredients work together to help keep you feeling much fuller for longer, with a steady release of energy to power your day. It’s also so important for blood sugar control and he ..read more

Bring some heat to your dinner table in just 50 minutes with my latest spicy one pan wonder! Obsessed with the fiesta of flavour in this one. I’ve combined tender chicken, sweet paprika and sautéed veggies with basmati rice – all cooked in a rich tomato stock and topped off with melty cheddar and a kick of chilli.

As many of you know, I am ALL about nourishing a balanced relationship with food and our bodies. Restrictive diets and extremes just aren’t sustainable in the long run. However, I do understand there are periods in life when we may want to lighten the load on our digestive system and liver. At this time of year (especially after the post-Easter celebrations!) we can feel our bodies just need the extra love after some indulgence – which of course is so healthy too!  I believe in thoroughly supporting the liver and gut through foods and supplements, especially before and after times of cele ..read more

As part of our Menstrual March focus, this week I’d love to talk about a topic I am often asked about when it comes to women’s health: the body’s transition into perimenopause and menopause. This phase marks a significant period in our lives, symbolising strength, wisdom and the natural cycle of our bodies! It’s so important to approach this stage of life with understanding, so we can equip ourselves with the tools to navigate through it with awareness and grace. To provide you with the most insightful and practical advice, I had the wonderful opportunity to sit down for some questions with La ..read more

Our bodies go through incredible changes over our lives. Our hormones are at the centre of it – these powerful chemical messengers have such a big impact on both our physical health and how we feel emotionally. Through my own journey, both personally and professionally, I’ve seen just how much our hormones can affect our mental wellbeing and on the journey of womanhood, there are many changes we need to navigate with care and sensitivity. Women’s health is an area that has been at the forefront of my career and the strength of the women in the JSHealth community inspires me daily. Let’s celebr ..read more

I absolutely adore this velvety mousse. It’s a delightful blend of rich cacao, bursting with antioxidants and magnesium, plus the healthy fats in avocado. This adds a creamy texture to create a mousse that’s super nourishing and perfect for that time of the month.  My favourite part? The tart raspberries and sprinkle of dark chocolate to beautifully balance all the flavours…divine! I love cacao not only for its beautiful taste, but because it’s also a wonderful source of antioxidants and magnesium. This may help to alleviate PMS symptoms such as fluid retention1. This superfood can help t ..read more
