WHY YOU’RE IN SAFE HANDS

I’m Renee — a nutritionist, REPS Registered personal trainer, and wellbeing coach with over 13 years of experience working closely with women.

But more importantly, I’ve spent years listening.

Listening to women who:

Did everything “right” but still felt unwell
Lost trust in their bodies
Were burnt out from trying to keep up
Felt disconnected from themselves

Through this work, one thing became clear:

Health is not just about food and movement.
It’s about safety, identity, and self-trust.

Beyond the Body exists to help women rebuild those foundations — so health becomes something you live from, not something you chase.

Katrina

“For the first time in years, I don’t feel like I’m fighting my body.
I have more energy, my mind feels calmer, and I finally trust myself around food.
This wasn’t about being told what to do — it was about learning how my body actually works.
That has changed everything.”

Amy

“Reset to Rise gave me knowledge I should have learned years ago.
I stopped relying on plans and rules and started making decisions that actually felt right for my body.
I feel confident, strong, and capable — not just now, but for the long term.”

Hannah

“I came into this programme exhausted and disconnected from myself.
I’m leaving feeling grounded, energised, and clear.
This work went far deeper than food or training — it helped me reconnect with who I am.”

WHO THIS IS FOR

(AND WHO IT’S NOT)

Beyond the Body is for women who are ready to:

✔️Step out of diet culture

✔️Build strength without punishment

✔️Learn how their body actually works

✔️Create structure without obsession

✔️Take responsibility without self-criticism

This is not for:

❌Quick fixes

❌Extreme approaches

❌Outsourcing your power

❌Being “fixed” by someone else

This is a partnership — grounded in education, respect, and long-term change.

There is something incredibly powerful about reconnecting to real food.

This weekend I experienced the farm-to-table workshop at Good From Scratch and it reminded me why I care so deeply about nutrition in the first place.

Food is not just calories…
It is connection.
It is culture.
It is nourishment.
It is energy.

We created beautiful meals from scratch, learnt practical cooking skills, and experienced the simplicity of fresh, seasonal ingredients grown with care.

When we slow down and return to whole foods, everything begins to feel more aligned.

More energy.
Better digestion.
More satisfaction.
More enjoyment.

Healthy eating doesn’t need to be complicated.
Often the most nourishing meals are also the simplest.

This is the foundation of Beyond the Body - helping women build a way of eating that feels sustainable, supportive, and enjoyable for life.

Less restriction.
More connection.

More real food.
More real life.

Highly recommend this experience if you ever get the chance ✨

What’s up, April 🍂

A new month brings a fresh focus, and this season I’m leaning into gut health, warmth, and slowing down just enough to build strong foundations for winter.

Autumn always reminds me that health doesn’t need to feel extreme or overwhelming. It can be simple, grounding, and aligned with what the body naturally needs.

This month inside Beyond the Body:
• focusing on gut health to support immunity
• eating more seasonal produce
• enjoying warmer, nourishing meals
• continuing strength training for long-term health
• spending more time outdoors (hello hikes!)
• building the next podcast series: The Cycle Code

Because understanding your body changes everything.

We’ll be having real conversations about:
-menstruation
-perimenopause
-pelvic floor health
-hormones
-energy
-strength
-real life experiences as women

Thank you for being here and being part of this community.

If you’re ready to support your gut health, energy, and strength this season, this is your sign to start now.

You can:
➡️listen to the Well Body podcast
➡️join the 2 week gut reset
➡️start Reset to Rise
➡️read the journal
or simply take one small step toward feeling better

April focus: build a stronger gut.💪🏾

Sometimes the most powerful thing you can do for your health… is step outside.

Today we hiked the Omanawanui Track in Whatipu, climbing nearly 2000 stairs, and it honestly felt like the exact dose of vitamin N (nature) and vitamin D (sunlight) my body needed for a full nervous system reset.

We often think we need more motivation, more discipline, more intensity…

But sometimes what the body is really asking for is:
space
fresh air
sunlight
perspective
movement that feels freeing
time away from constant stimulation

Nature has a powerful way of shifting the body out of stress mode and into a state where healing, recovery, and clarity can happen.

Sunlight supports circadian rhythm and sleep.
Fresh air supports mental clarity.
Walking and hiking support cardiovascular fitness, bone health, strength, and emotional wellbeing.

And most importantly… it reminds us that health is not built through extremes.

It is built through supportive rhythms.

Gym sessions.
Walks.
Whole foods.
Connection.
Moments of calm.
Moments of challenge.
Moments that remind you what life is actually about.

Nearly 2000 stairs later… tired legs, clear mind, full cup.

Your nervous system is always listening.
Nature speaks its language fluently.

If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, overstimulated or stuck…

this might be your reminder to step outside 🌞

Hot cross brioche cinnamon rolls made from scratch 🤍

This Easter I made these with my daughter and it reminded me how powerful food can be when it is connected to memory, culture and presence.

My core nutrition belief health doesn’t come from avoiding special foods…

I believe health comes from building a relationship with food that allows space for both nourishment and enjoyment.

Interestingly, research shows when we mentally restrict foods, the brain often increases cravings and reward signalling, making those foods feel even harder to resist.

When we consciously choose to enjoy something, we often feel more satisfied and more balanced afterwards.

Food is part of life.
Food is part of connection.
Food is part of culture.

Here are my blood sugar tips when enjoying treats:
• pair with protein
• include fibre earlier in the day
• avoid very sugary foods on an empty stomach
• eat slowly and mindfully
• go for a short walk afterwards

You can absolutely enjoy seasonal foods AND support your health.

Nourish Toastie 🍠
A simple swap that can make a big difference to your energy, digestion, and how satisfied you feel after eating.

Instead of bread if you’re trying to get more veg diversity into your diet try using sweet potato slices as your toast base.

You still get that comforting “toast” feeling, but with:
➡️more fibre
➡️more micronutrients
➡️steady-release carbohydrates
➡️balanced blood sugar support

This toastie combines:
protein + fibre + quality carbohydrates + greens

→ the Beyond the Body balanced plate approach in a simple, realistic way.
Balanced meals do not need to be complicated , just thoughtful and consistent.

Recipe
1 sweet potato
½ cup cottage cheese
80–100g cooked chicken
2–3 pickles
handful fresh rocket
olive oil, salt & pepper

Slice sweet potato lengthways into flat slices and toast until soft and lightly golden.
Layer cottage cheese, chicken, pickles and rocket between two slices.
Simple, nourishing, satisfying.

Supports:
✅stable energy
✅gut health
✅muscle recovery
✅hormone health
✅reduced cravings

Save for an easy high-protein lunch idea.

You cannot manifest a life your habits do not support.

So many women set goals…
but never create the daily rhythms that allow those goals to happen.

The truth is:
your future self is shaped by what you repeatedly do, not what you occasionally wish for.

It is not about doing everything perfectly.
It is about building habits that support the life you say you want.

Nourishing meals.
Strength training.
Sleep.
Hydration.
Moments of calm.
Boundaries.
Consistency.

Small actions repeated often create powerful change.

You do not need more motivation.
You need supportive systems that make showing up easier.

Your habits are quietly shaping your future every day. If you’re working on building them up just remember it takes patience and time . So be kind to yourself and show up as much as you possibly can , even if it’s for 1 minute, it still adds up 💙

You can eat the most nourishing meal in the world, but if your body is in a stressed state, digestion simply isn’t prioritised.
When we scroll, rush, or eat distracted, the nervous system stays in fight or flight mode.

Your brain doesn’t know if you’re running from a tiger… or sitting down to eat dinner.

In this state all the time :
• stomach acid production is reduced
• digestive enzymes are lowered
• nutrient absorption is compromised
• fullness signals take longer to register

Which can lead to:
feeling bloated
still feeling hungry
snacking soon after meals
gut discomfort
low energy

Mindful eating helps shift the body into rest and digest, allowing your gut to do its job properly and your brain to actually register that you’ve eaten.

Simple habits that support digestion: (that doesn’t involve an expensive supplement)

• put your phone away while eating
• take 3 slow breaths before your first bite
• chew your food properly
• slow the pace of your meal
• notice flavours and textures
• aim to feel comfortably satisfied, not rushed

Sometimes improving gut health isn’t about changing what you eat…
it’s about changing how you eat.

#mindfuleating #guthealth #nervoussystemsupport #womenshealth #balancedplate

Sometimes it’s the simplest things prepped ahead of time that make the biggest difference to your week.

Today I kept it really realistic and family-friendly:

• big batch pasta sauce for multiple meals
• beef bolar roast for lunches (mostly hubbys)
• spaghetti bolognese ready for busy nights
• pre-cooked pasta to save time
• crumbed chicken for protein snacks + lunchboxes
• homemade almond milk for matcha + iced coffees

Nothing complicated, just a few nourishing basics ready to go.
When food is prepared, balanced meals become easier, stress levels stay lower, and it’s much simpler to stay consistent with your health goals.

Simple preparation creates momentum.
Less decision fatigue
Less takeaway temptation

More nourishing meals ready when you need them
Especially helpful for busy families, busy work weeks, and anyone wanting to feel more organised with food.

Small habits like this make big shifts especially when it comes to eating healthier 👏🏽🍃

#mealprep #balancednutrition #busywomen #busymumlife #healthyhabits

Your kitchen environment shapes your habits more than motivation ever will.

This simple herb basket is one of my favourite ways to make healthy eating feel effortless and taste good 👌🏾

Just add a damp paper towel to a basket and place in 5 fresh herbs you love cooking with.

Herbs are incredibly nutrient-dense and rich in polyphenols, antioxidants, vitamins and minerals that support gut health, reduce inflammation and enhance flavour naturally.

When healthy choices are visible and accessible… you use them more often.

Small shifrs like this help you to make positive change overtime 🙌🏾

Save this for your next kitchen refresh.🍃🌱

Let me explain because I know there’s a few of you confused by what you see on TikTok and Instagram these days it’s overwhelming.

I’ve been in the fitness industry for 13 years now and let me tell you I’ve seen many trends come and go. But what doesn’t change in the last decade is the importance of resistance training and what it can do for your overall health and wellbeing.

What you don’t need to do :

❌ 6 days in the gym splitting up body parts
❌ train every day
❌ try and do as many creative exercises as possible in one session just to “sweat”
❌ rush around doing one exercise so fast straight into another one to do as much as you can to feel the burn
❌ become an athlete just because you took up regular exercise
❌ variety…too much variety is actually not optimal for strength training, simple is genius !

What you do need to do:
✅ follow a structured programme that has your compound movements in it (push / pull / legs)
✅ train 2-3 x per week
✅ rest in-between sets
✅ learn great technique to lift well so you can improve
✅ don’t over train , under fuel , and under recover
✅ recover with good sleep and rest days (don’t strength train every day!)
✅ stay active & physical in-between training sessions with walking , a dance class , a run something you love…maybe a sport. But make sure you allow for recovery days and don’t fill every waking hour of every day with movement to the point you burn out and injure yourself.

Dont over complicate the programme or protocol - everyone needs to strength train , there’s no need for “different” styles of training because you’re in a “different” stage of life…you just need to remain consistent throughout your life and that will give you the most incredible results with your health to support you across different stages of life 💪🏾💪🏿💙 #strength #strengthtraining #lift #womenshealth

Tonight’s date… was with me.
Soft skin, warm light, slow movements…
taking my time, not rushing the moment.
There is something deeply powerful about creating space to connect with your body in a gentle, loving way. To touch your skin with care, to breathe deeper, to soften, to let the day melt away.

These quiet rituals remind me that wellness isn’t always loud…
sometimes it’s found in the subtle, intimate moments where you choose presence over pressure.

Nourishing the skin, calming the nervous system, reconnecting to the feminine energy that so often gets lost in the busyness of life.

Because feeling good in your skin is a relationship… one built slowly, intentionally, over time.

Grateful to be using organic skincare from @essenceofearth.nz that feels aligned with a more conscious, grounded approach to beauty.

Romanticising your wellbeing is not indulgent… it’s essential.

I think this is why I became a nutritionist, I have such a deep love for food , cooking and creating. Especially when everything is made from scratch and it brings loved ones together. Food is part of our human culture and it’s so important we celebrate it as a part of having a good relationship with it. For me food is a celebration because whenever there was a birthday , Christmas , someone achieved something, family were in town , a friend was over we always had the most delicious meals to celebrate them 👏🏽#food #foodandculture #nutrition #healthylifestyle

My challenge for you this week is to do one hard thing that makes you feel a little on the uncomfortable side , it could be showing up to a workout , making your breakfast everyday requiring an earlier start or even committing to an outdoor walk with a friend you keep putting off. Do the hard thing because the reward mentally is so worth it. What’s something you’re going to challenge yourself to committing to this week ??? ⬇️ #womenshealth #healthandfitness #nutrition #strenthtraining #guthealth

Your afternoon slump isn’t a willpower issue… it’s a blood sugar issue.

If your snacks are just carbs or something quick and ultra processed you’ll spike 👉🏽 crash 👉🏽 crave more sugar.

But when you build your snacks with:
• protein
• fibre
• healthy fats

You stay full, energised, and in control of your hunger.
In this video I’m sharing 5 of my go-to snacks that are:

✅high in protein
✅supportive for gut health
✅ balanced for blood sugar
✅and all around 200 calories

These are the kinds of snacks I use myself and with my clients to help:

✅reduce the 3pm crash
✅support digestion
✅improve overall energy
✅cut cravings

I’ve put all of these into a free guide with the full recipes, macros, and plant points to help you start building more gut-friendly, balanced snacks into your week.

Menstruation is an invitation to tune into your body and give her what she needs. Deep restoration will give you the power you need to perform better , have better energy, improve your creativity, give you the drive to make healthier choices and do the hard things. Rest is not a sign of weakness it’s a sign that you are a warrior restoring her strength to go even harder next time 💪🏾🩸☀️ this is the real art of cycle syncing and mental support ✌🏽

These have been my go to nourish bowls this month ! I’m obsessed with just chucking a bowl of yummy nourishing ingredients together for most of my meals , it’s an easy thing to meal prep for and it’s also an excellent way to get in more micronutrients (vitamins & minerals) #nutrition #healthyliving #healthyeating #womenswellness

If you think tofu is boring, it’s usually because it hasn’t been cooked properly.

Tofu can be an incredible plant-based protein when you know how to prepare it.

The key to getting that crispy texture on the outside while keeping it soft on the inside comes down to a few simple steps.

First, cut the tofu into cubes about 2–3 cm wide. Then gently pat it dry with a tea towel to remove as much moisture as possible.

Once it’s dry, coat the tofu in corn flour mixed with herbs and spices. I used smoked paprika, salt and pepper, which helps create a crispy outer layer when it cooks.

Then cook it in a pan over a relatively high heat with an oil that can handle higher temperatures, like olive oil.

The trick here is patience. Let each side cook long enough to form a crispy crust before turning the cubes.

You’ll end up with tofu that is crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and perfect to add to a high-fibre salad or nourish bowl.

Tofu is also a great source of plant-based protein and contains nutrients like iron, calcium, and magnesium, making it a really nourishing option whether you eat plant-based or simply want to add more plant diversity to your diet.

After my reel yesterday about how much ultra-processed food fills our supermarkets, I wanted to clarify something important.

Not all processed foods are unhealthy.

There is a big difference between processed foods and ultra-processed foods.

Ultra-processed foods are often made from refined ingredients and additives that can negatively affect gut health, energy levels and long-term health when eaten in excess.

But many foods that support good health are technically processed.

Frozen vegetables, oats, canned beans, plain yoghurt and olive oil are all processed foods that can absolutely be part of a balanced diet.

The goal isn’t perfection.

It’s simply building a way of eating where most of your food comes from real, whole ingredients.

That’s where long-term health tends to thrive.

Health isn’t built by being perfect.
It’s built by what you do most of the time.
The meals you prepare.
The workouts you show up for.
The walks, the sunshine, the hobbies that bring you joy.
The small choices that support your body day after day.
But health is not meant to become so strict that you forget how to live.
Because health also looks like long lunches with friends.
It looks like laughing until your stomach hurts.
It looks like clinking glasses, sharing food, and being present with the people who matter.
When we zoom out and look at health through a wider lens, we see that it isn’t just physical.
It’s emotional.
It’s mental.
It’s social.
It’s spiritual.
The goal was never to be perfect.
The goal is to build a life where your habits support your wellbeing without taking away from the moments that make life meaningful.
Consistency over perfection.
Balance over restriction.
Health that actually lets you live.

We’ve become so used to living out of packets that many people have forgotten what real food actually looks like.

And just to be clear - I’m not saying you can’t have anything that comes in a packet. (Not all packed food is created equal, take popcorn for example if it’s jus popcorn , salt and butter or oil , it’s not considered an unhealthy processed food)

What I am saying is that we’ve swung too far in that direction.

When most of our diet is made up of packaged foods, highly processed snacks, and convenience meals, we start to lose the balance that our bodies actually thrive on.

The goal isn’t perfection.

The goal is shifting the balance back.

More whole foods.
More meals cooked from real ingredients.
More foods that our bodies recognise.

And fewer things that come with a paragraph-long ingredient list.

When whole foods become the foundation of your nutrition, your body tends to respond with better energy, better digestion, and better overall health.

It’s not about eliminating packaged foods entirely.

It’s about remembering that they should be the extra, not the foundation.

If meal prep feels overwhelming, simplify it.

One of the easiest ways to stay consistent with healthy eating during a busy week is to build your meals around one big fibre-rich salad.

Instead of overthinking multiple recipes, prep one nourishing base that you can use across several meals.

This week my base salad included things like colourful vegetables, black lentils, and fibre-rich ingredients to help feed my gut microbes and keep my blood sugar stable.

Then I simply added:
• Cooked protein (this week I did beef mince with mushrooms)
• Something creamy like hummus or cottage cheese for a saucy element
• A spoonful of fermented foods to support gut health

Now I have balanced nourish bowls ready to go in minutes.

When your meals contain protein, fibre, healthy fats, and fermented foods, you’re not just eating a salad - you’re creating meals that support energy, digestion, and overall health.

Healthy eating doesn’t have to be complicated.
Sometimes it’s just about creating a smart base you can build on all week.

Save this idea for your next meal prep day.

Most people believe coffee gives them energy to survive and get through each day.

But biologically, that’s not actually what’s happening.

Caffeine works by blocking a chemical in the brain called adenosine, which normally signals fatigue. Instead of removing the tiredness, caffeine simply blocks the signal that tells your brain you’re tired.

So the fatigue doesn’t disappear… it just gets delayed.

This is why so many people feel the afternoon crash, reach for another coffee, and end up stuck in a cycle of feeling wired but exhausted.

Over time, relying on caffeine to push through tiredness can contribute to disrupted sleep, nervous system stress, and energy crashes.

And this is where hustle culture can quietly work against us.

Real energy isn’t created by stimulation.

It’s built through things like:
• eating regularly
• supporting gut health
• good sleep
• managing stress
• nourishing the body properly

Coffee itself isn’t the problem.

It can absolutely be enjoyed for pleasure, ritual, and taste.

But when caffeine becomes something we rely on just to function, it’s often a signal that the body needs deeper support.

Energy is built. Not borrowed.

If improving your energy has been something you’ve been working on, my Well Body podcast Energy Series dives deeper into the foundations of sustainable energy. Check the link in bio and start listening to each episode so you can rebuild sustainable energy that lasts ⚡️⚡️⚡️

Today is about celebrating the strength of women everywhere.
Not just physical strength…

but the resilience, courage, and wisdom that women carry every day.

For generations women have been told to make themselves smaller, quieter, less bold.

But strength has always lived within us.

When women learn to nourish their bodies, move with intention, and trust themselves again - everything changes.

Confidence grows.

Energy returns.

And we begin to realise how capable we truly are.

But perhaps the most important part of this journey… is the example we set for the next generation.

May we raise girls who feel strong in their bodies.
Who speak their opinions.
Who take up space.
Who know they don’t need to shrink themselves to belong.

Because when women step fully into their strength - we don’t just change our own lives.

We change the world around us.

Happy International Women’s Day.

Let’s build a nourish bowl together! These are my staples for breakfast lunch and dinner most days - it’s easy and how I keep my plant diversity up because you can get creative with different things to add. If you’re struggling with healthy meal ideas try making a nourish bowl , start with your favourite protein and vegetables first and then start to get creative with the extras like kimchi , seeds and even some legumes.

POV: your friend’s nutritionist is TikTok.

I swear every week there’s a new “magic” fat loss food.

Pineapple.
Apple cider vinegar.
Lemon water.
Celery juice.

Are they healthy? Yes.
Do they magically melt belly fat? No.

Fat loss comes from consistent habits:
• balanced meals
• enough protein and fibre
• strength training
• sleep
• time

Be careful who you take nutrition advice from online. Stay safe out there peps it’s madness 😵‍💫✌🏽

#strenthtraining #womenshealth #nutrition #womenswellness #fatloss

Life hack for saving time & staying healthy?
👉🏽 Meal prep twice per week.

Not fancy.
Not extreme.
Just organised.

This week’s reset looked like:
• Healthy crumbed chicken for the kids lunchbox protein
• A gut-nourishing salad with lentils, beetroot, red cabbage, carrot, pumpkin seeds
• A big batch of quinoa for nourish bowls (because I’m in my nourish bowl era this week 😌)
• Banana, chocolate & berry muffins for our family sweet treat - and my daughter on the tools learning to bake
• Roast vegetables prepped and ready to add to dinners

And here’s the thing…
Meal prep isn’t about being “perfect.”

It’s about making healthy the easy option.
When swimming lessons run late.
When dance finishes at 7:00pm.
When you’ve worked all day.
When the kids are feral and you’re exhausted.

Future-you is SO grateful that past-you chopped the veg and cooked the protein.

Meal prep:
✔️ Saves hours during the week
✔️ Reduces decision fatigue
✔️ Keeps blood sugar stable
✔️ Makes protein + fibre non-negotiable
✔️ Stops the 5pm “what’s for dinner” panic

And most importantly?
It keeps you consistent.
Healthy doesn’t happen because you’re motivated.
It happens because you set your week up properly.

Twice a week. That’s it.

Systemise your health and everything gets easier.
