In today's episode, I chat to Katherine Hay. Katherine is the Founder of Kaptured Nutrition. She holds a Bachelor of Health Science majoring in Nutritional Medicine and is an accredited member of the Australian Natural Therapists Association.

From a young age Katherine has always maintained a connection with the ocean + earth and is truly fascinated by the way in which both elements can directly affect our health + wellbeing, and in turn our bodies.

She believes that there is no 'one size fits all' approach to health and everyone is extremely different, therefore her treatment plans are personalised to the individual.

Katherine is dedicated to supporting her clients to improve their health. She helps them achieve their unique health goals; using an Integrated approach to healthcare, including the use of evidence based nutritional medicine.

Katherine specialises in health conditions including:

• Female reproductive health

Some 'Hot tips' from Katherine during the episode.

Minute 21:40 - Don't grate your zuchinni's and carrots as that is where so much good fibre is ( however do wash them well)
Minute 21:53: If we are not pooing well, we can't expect to have gorgeous glowing skin. The skin is an elimination organ. If we are not eliminating from the bowels properly, our skin is going to start eliminating for us.
Minute 22:24: HYDRATION. SO so important. Our skin loves water. We need water for communication between different processes of the body. It's fundamental for us to live.
Minute 23:00: Add a pinch of seas salt (or good quality salt) to you water bottle and it helps absorbs the water into your cells on a cellular level because of the ratio of salt to water in the body.
Minute 25:00: If you can only afford to buy frozen veggies and/or canned items, its definitely better than not eating them. You are still getting great nutritional value from them. Just have to give them a good wash.  
Minute 26:15: Buy a variety packet of LSA (linseed, sunflower seed and almond meal) and add to your foods as  sprinkle on top.
Minute 30.24: There is not one size fits all with food!!!! and fad diets/detoxes DO NOT WORK.
Minute 33:30: Try not shower at least 1 hour after sun exposure because thats when we get the beautiful absorption through the skin and the liver to absorb the vitamin D.
Minute 34:22: Mushrooms Absorb Vitamin D. Buy your mushrooms and sit them upside down with the stalks facing the sun before eating them. You can literally sunbake your mushrooms to increase vitamin D.
Minute 35:00: Don't sweat the small stuff. Without our mental health, we can't have out physical health.
