Finding Your Tribe
Finding Your Tribe
Moving to a new country is one of life’s greatest adventures. There is the thrill of discovery: the flavours, the landscapes, the rhythm of life in a culture not your own. But beneath the Instagrammable sunsets and bustling markets lies another truth – one that often surfaces in the quiet moments: Who do I belong with here?
One size does NOT fit all

I cringe at the word diet - it sounds like something that you vow to start on Monday and abandon by Wednesday. I wish there were a single word that describes sustainable, wholesome choices that support long-term well-being. Being Wellthwise means ditching diets forever and embracing your own feel-good, thrive-fueled way of eating that is all about nourishment, not nonsense.
Understanding why macros matter
Understanding why macros matter
Most people know how to count calories. Fewer people know what those calories are made of and that is where nutrition really starts to matter. Enter macros. Short for macronutrients, macros are the proteins, fats and carbohydrates that make up the food you eat – and they play a huge role in how your body looks, feels and functions. Whether your goal is to build muscle, lose fat or just feel better in your own skin, learning how to balance your macros can completely change your approach to food.

The tussle with weight loss is perhaps one of the most common predicaments that drive individuals to seek health coaching. The refrain “I simply cannot shed these kilos?” is all too familiar. The internet is inundated with “the best” ways to lose weight that range from expensive and painful to the ridiculous.
Wellthwise: Snooze or Lose
Wellthwise: Snooze or Lose
Aah, sleep. It is one of my favourite things to do. If sleep were an Olympic sport, I would have medals. I have been training for decades. It is the most vital of all the pillars of health. When restful sleep eludes you, every system suffers. Sleep is when your body restores itself, processes emotions, and strengthens memory.

Visible muscle is more than aesthetically pleasing – it is the engine that powers your body, fuels your metabolism and safeguards your future health. Whether you are climbing stairs, lugging heavy suitcases or simply standing tall, the strength beneath your skin is working tirelessly behind the scenes. But what happens when that system starts to weaken? Understanding the significance of skeletal muscle mass may hold the key to achieving a longer healthspan.

Behind the pop of a cork, or the glow of celebration is a sobering truth: alcohol, a frequent social staple, can be a dangerous companion.
Wellthwise: Learning to be the tortoise
Wellthwise: Learning to be the tortoise
Aesop, the ancient Greek storyteller, is famous for his fables that taught moral lessons through personified animals. In the ‘Tortoise and the Hare’, the deliberate and focused tortoise beats the much faster, but distracted hare in a race. The moral of the story is that slow and steady wins. The wellness race is won the same way.
Wellthwise: Health choices, where to now?
Wellthwise: Health choices, where to now?
I have a fantasy of waltzing into an international airport, looking up at the departure board and randomly choosing a flight that leaves in the next two hours. I go to the ticket counter, buy a ticket, and go straight to the departure gate. It feels wildly spontaneous, even audacious, but promises to be great fun, right?
Wellthwise: Permission to be healthy
Wellthwise: Permission to be healthy
The first step of a wellness journey does not even require that you get out of bed. Could it be any easier? What it does require is that you know your mindset ‒ your set of beliefs, attitudes or perceptions about yourself. Mindset influences how you interpret situations, react to challenges and deal with disappointments.
