Feel better through food


Tracy Tredoux, a dual-qualified functional medicine practitioner and nutritional therapist, works with clients internationally and takes a practical, realistic approach


Tracy believes optimal health isn’t about overhauling everything, but making small, consistent changes.


WHY YOU MIGHT NOT FEEL YOUR BEST Some people may move into spring and summer expecting to feel light- er and more energised. Longer days, more sunlight and a shift in routine should help, yet for some, this doesn’t happen. Energy can dip, digestion might feel off and sleep can some- times become disrupted. Often, this isn’t down to one major


issue, but a series of small, everyday habits that have built up over time. Food plays a central role here, in the simple, consistent way it shapes how we feel each day.


EAT WITH THE SEASONS As the seasons change, the body nat- urally leans towards lighter, fresher foods. Tis is a time to move away from heavier winter meals and bring in seasonal produce. Colourful veg- etables (such as asparagus, radishes and tomatoes), fresh herbs, qual- ity proteins and balanced meals can help to support and digestion.

START WITH GUT HEALTH One of the first areas Tracy focuses on is gut health, which plays a role in di- gestion, immunity and overall mood. Increasing fibre intake through vege- tables, nuts and seeds, and including fermented foods such as kefir or yo- ghurt can help to create a balanced diet. Ensuring meals contain a mix of protein, healthy fats and carbohy- drates can also help to support nor- mal energy levels.


RETHINK DAIRY Dairy is another area that can cause confusion. Many people remove it


entirely when they experience symp- toms like bloating. However, not all dairy affects the body in the same way. Traditional options such as feta or goat’s cheese can sometimes be better tolerated. For those who are sensitive, it may be worth experimenting rather than cutting it out completely.


HOW YOU EAT MATTERS, TOO How we eat is just as important as what we eat. Eating quickly, stand- ing or while distracted can all im- pact digestion. Slowing down, sit- ting properly and allowing the body time to process food can make a noticeable difference. Many


people are feeling the


effects of ongoing stress, busy sched- ules and a constant stream of in- formation. Tis can influence food choices, often leading to conven- ience over nourishment. In these moments, focusing on small, pos- itive actions can help. Preparing simple meals, eating regularly and choosing foods


that feel satisfying


rather than depleting can create a better sense of stability.

CONSISTENCY OVER PERFECTION A consistent rhythm of balanced meals across the day is often more practical than short bursts of restric- tive eating. A nourishing breakfast, a balanced lunch and a satisfying dinner can support normal energy levels and overall wellbeing. Spring and summer offer an op-


portunity to reset gently. Fresh, sea- sonal ingredients, simple cooking and a mindful eating approach can help you to feel more supported. Ulti- mately, when the basics are in place, the difference in how we feel can be significant.
