The Health Reminders That Came From Getting Gastro

In this solo episode, host Rachelle Doss reflects on the lessons she learned from being knocked down by a serious bout of gastro.

With humour and humility, she shares her thoughts on the importance of rest, simplifying life, and making space for recovery.

From the exhaustion of juggling too many tasks to the realisation that true rest is rare, Rachel discusses the benefits of slowing down. She also delves into how this illness forced her to rethink her coffee consumption, eating habits, and exercise routine, while expressing gratitude for the gift of health.

Whether you've ever been forced to stop and reflect during a rough illness or you’re just curious about how slowing down might improve your health, this episode is packed with insights and relatable moments.

• Key Takeaways:

1. Rest is Essential - Sometimes, we're forced to stop and realise we don't take enough time to truly relax.
2. Reassessing Busyness - Constantly being busy may lead to burnout. It's okay to slow down and just be.
3. The Impact of Coffee - Rach reflects on her coffee intake, realising that cutting back might improve sleep and energy level.
4. Back to Basics - Reconnection with simple, nutritious foods and the importance of easing back into exercise.
5. Letting Things Slide - It's okay to let go go of perfection. Housework and other tasks can wait when rest and recovery are the priority.
6. Gratitude for Health - Being sick served as a reminder to cherish good health and take proactive steps to maintain it.

"We weren’t put on this earth just to work and clean. We need to look after ourselves, be present for our family and friends, and appreciate the health we have."

We will have a new segment "Could ask the nutritionist or Nutritionist Hotline". I'm doing a call out if you would like any nutrition questions answered.
YOU CAN ASK any NUTRITION and WELLNESS QUESTIONS
We would love to answer them for you and have you on and help everyone else out there because I think this is the right thing.
So if you're brave enough to put it out there, it's completely anonymous. It may not just help you and give you that nutritionist knowledge for free, and help others with the same questions or issues.
