The first batch of beetroot carrot and ginger juice I made tasted like dirt. Actual, literal dirt. I’d used way too much beet and not enough of anything else, and I almost gave up on the whole idea right there at my kitchen counter. A year later, I make a version of this juice three … Read more
Skip the hype for a second. The benefits of fasting while on period aren’t one-size-fits-all, no matter what your favourite wellness account says. Some women feel calm. Sharp, even. Others are shaky and cranky by 10am, staring at the fridge like it owes them money. Both are normal. Both come down to hormones, not willpower. … Read more
You’ve done a thousand crunches. That soft bulge below your belly button hasn’t moved an inch. I get it I spent years assuming my own lower belly pooch was just fat I hadn’t burned off yet.

Went for maybe two, three weeks maximum, then stopped completely. The second time, I didn’t even feel guilty. I just knew it wasn’t for me. But here’s the thing. … Read more
