Total Time: 30 minutes. Yield: 10 - 12 slices. ⁣
⁣
I adore autumn/winter for one reason: pumpkin season ✨⁣
⁣
This pumpkin and corn bread is incredibly simple to make and wonderfully delicious. It’s perfect as a side with soup, alongside some eggs, or enjoyed entirely on its own as a snack. ⁣
⁣
It has 5g protein per slice. Store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to five days, and warm it in the microwave for 30–60 seconds to soften before serving.⁣

We covered all things bone health during the menopause in a recent post ⬇️ check it out below!⁣
⁣
…But what does prioritising nutrition for bone health actually look like for your weekly shopping list?! ⁣
⁣
Your bones might look solid and still — but they’re alive. Constantly breaking down and rebuilding themselves in a process called remodelling.⁣
⁣
When you’re well-nourished, this construction crew has all the materials it needs to build strong, resilient bones.⁣
⁣
But if you’re running low on key nutrients, your body cuts corners — and the result? Weaker, more fragile bones.⁣
⁣
And bones aren’t just “walls of calcium.” They’re living tissue — a network of minerals, protein, blood vessels, and nerves.⁣
⁣
𝗧𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗿𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗶𝗿𝗲 𝗮 𝘃𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘁𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝗱𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗻𝘂𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗱𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗼𝗱𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗱𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀.

⁣
✅ Be sure to start adding these foods to your shopping list ⁣
⁣
…..Which will you start with first?⁣

𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗹𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀: 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲 𝘀𝗺𝗮𝗿𝘁, 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝘀𝘄𝗮𝘆𝗲𝗱.⁣
It’s an overwhelming, unregulated, highly marketed world out there. I’ve lost count of how many clients have said, “I heard creatine/greens/collagen is good for me on a podcast… so now I’m taking it.”⁣
⁣
Here’s the truth: 𝗳𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁, 𝗮𝗹𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀.⁣
But supplements can play a role—𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻 they’re targeted, evidence-based, and fit seamlessly into your lifestyle. Your hard-earned cash should go towards the things that genuinely move the needle, not whatever is trending this week.⁣
⁣
I’ve put together an infographic to help you cut through the noise and think more clearly about what’s worth taking (and what’s not).⁣
