🤕Most people think an injured joint needs complete rest.

Sometimes it does need protection - but that doesn’t often mean stopping movement altogether.

Your cartilage (including the cushioning in your knees and spinal discs) doesn’t have its own blood supply. Instead, it relies on gentle compression and release to help move nutrients through the tissue - much like squeezing and releasing a sponge.

That’s why the right movement can often be an important part of recovery.

One of my lovely ladies recently injured her knee and was understandably trying to protect it. Together, we found movements that respected her pain while keeping the rest of her body moving.

💙 If you’re recovering from an injury, don’t assume it’s all or nothing. The goal is often to find what you can do safely while your body heals.

Always follow the advice of your treating health professional, and if you’re unsure, ask what movements are appropriate for your stage of recovery AND I’m here to help find the right service.

Have you ever heard of the corn challenge? 🌽💩

I know… we’re talking about poo today!

As uncomfortable as it might seem, your bowel habits can give you some valuable clues about your gut health.

This conversation came from the amazing Healthy Hormones ~ Transforming Menopause Care community, co-founded by Dr Ceri Cashell . If you’re interested in learning more, I’d highly recommend checking out their gut health webinar. It’s open to everyone and full of practical information.

The challenge is simple:
🌽 Eat some corn.
⏱️ Keep an eye out for when you see it again.
📝 How long did it take to travel through your digestive system?

Many people assume that if they open their bowels every day, everything is working perfectly. But transit time is just one of the many things that can give you a better understanding of what’s happening inside your body.

I’m curious… who’s brave enough to give the corn challenge a go? 😂

Drop a 🌽 in the comments if you’re in (no need to tell us your results unless you really want to!).

Let me know if you’d like me to send you the direct link 🔗

Well… this didn’t go to plan. 😅

But maybe that’s the point.

If something truly matters to us, we don’t just 𝒘𝒊𝒔𝒉 it happens - we adjust, try again, and keep taking the next step.

Failure isn’t the end. It’s feedback.

Here’s your reminder (and mine): keep showing up. One step at a time. 💙
