we’ve collated some of our top tips for nourishing your belly,
beauty and wellbeing this festive season, so you can enter the
new year feeling renewed, rested and refreshed.


 






BALANCE YOUR PLATE

The holidays can bring about a level of decadence we’re
unaccustomed to during the rest of the year—and while
you needn’t avoid indulging entirely, it’s important to
focus on a balanced plate. Load up on fibre-rich fruits,
vegetables and legumes which encourage the production
of anti-inflammatory short-chain fatty acids, as well as
fermented foods to boost your microbial diversity
and keep inflammation at bay.

EMBRACE DAILY RITUALS

The silly season can also be chaotic so don’t forget
to make space for the rituals that help to keep you
grounded. Journaling, meditation and mindfulness
practices are all essential for helping to maintain
a sense of calm—and studies show that managing
stress can also benefit your microbiome. The gut-brain
connection highlights that an unhappy gut can affect
digestion, so embracing daily rituals to
relieve stress is critical.

ENJOY EXERCISE

Gentle exercise is not only a form of moving
meditation, but heading outdoors (where permitted)
to exercise also ensures you’re soaking up some
immune-boosting vitamin D. During times of
indulgence or stress, our immune health can take a
hit, but exercise can strengthen our body’s ability to
fight off pathogens and inflammation, which can be
detrimental to our belly and beauty.

SCORE WHAT DOES THIS MEAN HOW THE BEAUTY CHEF CAN HELP

1 – 10

Based on the results of this quiz, you are not exhibiting overt signs of digestive dysfunction or leaky gut.

As you are not currently experiencing gut health symptoms or leaky gut, all of The Beauty Chef products may help to support your health, beauty and wellbeing.

11 – 20

Based on the results of the quiz, your digestive health may need to be further supported.

We suggest adding GUT PRIMER™ to your Inner Beauty Routine™ as it contains ingredients traditionally used in Western Herbal Medicine (WHM) to support digestive health. If you are experiencing more severe gut health symptoms or have a diagnosed gut health condition (such as leaky gut), we recommend taking GUT PRIMER™ in isolation until symptoms ease. However, if you are simply looking to help improve and maintain your digestive health, GUT PRIMER™ is able to be enjoyed in conjunction with other products from The Beauty Chef, to support your health and wellbeing.

21 – 30

Based on the results of the quiz, your digestive and adrenal health may need to be further supported with diet modifications and supplements used in treatments for leaky gut.

As your gut health symptoms are more severe, we recommend taking GUT PRIMER™ for a few weeks until symptoms ease. GUT PRIMER™ contains ingredients which are traditionally used in WHM to help support digestive health. You may wish to also follow the meal plans outlined in The Beauty Chef Gut Guide to further support your digestive health and wellbeing. Once you start to feel better, you may begin to integrate the rest of The Beauty Chef range into your Inner Beauty Routine™.
