This month on the St Lukes wellbeing platform*, we’re diving into how nutrition affects energy, mood, focus, and overall wellbeing.
With practical insights, myth-busting tips, and easy recipes, we’ll explore how to refuel in ways that are realistic and sustainable. Let’s discover how good food choices can power better days — and long-term health.
Myth Busting Cholesterol and Fat
For years, fat was the villain of healthy eating but research tells a more nuanced story. In this session, we dive into the truth about dietary fat and cholesterol, breaking down the difference between the types of fat and how they affect your body. You’ll walk away with the knowledge to make informed choices that support both heart and brain health without unnecessary restriction.
What is a Healthy Snack?
Snacking can be a smart way to manage hunger, maintain energy, and stay focused — if done right. This content piece explores what makes a snack “healthy” and how to choose options that fuel your day rather than sabotage it. You’ll learn how to pair nutrients, balance portions, and build snacks that work with your body, not against it.
Making Peace with Your Plate
Food should be nourishing — not stressful. This session focuses on ditching food guilt and embracing a more balanced, mindful approach to eating. Learn how to listen to your body’s signals, enjoy your meals without judgement, and develop habits that are sustainable, satisfying, and supportive of your wellbeing goals.
5 Tips to Boost Your Wellbeing This Month
Balance Every Plate
Build each meal with a mix of colourful vegetables, quality protein, wholegrains, and healthy fats. This approach supports steady energy, fullness, and better digestion.
Rethink Snacking
Good snacks can fuel your day. Choose options with fibre, protein, and healthy fats — like nuts, fruit, or yoghurt — to help manage energy and focus.
Fats Aren’t the Enemy
Healthy fats support brain function and help your body absorb nutrients. Include sources like avocado, nuts, seeds, and olive oil without guilt.
Stay Hydrated, Stay Sharp
Start your day with water and sip regularly. Good hydration improves mood, focus, and physical performance — and it’s easy to forget!
Make Peace with Food
Food should be nourishing, enjoyable, and free from guilt. Aim for progress over perfection and make choices that work for your lifestyle.
