Biohacking has been front & center in the wellness space for the last few years but is it staring to lose its allure? Expensive gadgets, synthetic supplements, peptides, complicated routines & restrictive diets aren’t really delivering the results they promised. In this episode we discuss the psychology behind the idea that the body needs to be hacked & how simple health & healing really is if we just cover the basics & work with the laws of nature. I go in depth into what those basic fundamentals are that we need to address daily to live our most vital, disease free lives.

Very good little summer salad I made the other night. The produce definitely made it extra special with heirloom zucchini that was in my @ceresfairfood veggie box & mixed coloured heirloom cherry tomatoes that I bought from the @collingwoodchildrensfarm farm gate stall.
Here is a rough recipe.
Serves 2-3 as a side
2-3 handfuls of cherry tomatoes cut in half
1 zucchini ribboned with a vegetable peeler
3 fefferoni pickles sliced
2 Tbsp of pickled red onion
1 tablespoon of capers
2 large handfuls of fresh herbs. I used thyme, oregano, mint & parsley. Roughly chopped.
Dressing
Lemon juice
Flakey salt
Maple syrup
Pepper
Olive oil
Dijon mustard
Splash of the pickled onion juice

Mix all together serve immediately

TGA approved does not always equal good. I will say there are there are some supplement brands that are better than others. But regardless on whether the supplements have been prescribed by a GP, a nutritionist, naturopath or you just bought them from the chemist, supermarket or health food store, you have to do the due diligence to check the TGA website for the full ingredients list as like I said, it won’t be on the bottle. Further to this, all synthetic supplements go through chemical extraction. This is never on the back of the bottle or the TGA summary. The amount of clients I have seen that are having symptoms because of a supplement they are taking is staggering. They stop taking the supplements & the symptoms go away. Germs genes and bad luck don’t cause your symptoms or disease. Your daily habits & what you put on and in your body do. Want someone to do a full health audit of your diet, lifestyle & of the products you are using? DM me & we can chat or follow the link in bio 💚

We’re all individuals & beautifully nuanced. Our needs change from person to person, however, there are certain biological necessities that apply to everyone. Modern living disconnects us from those necessities so much that it now takes intentional, disciplined, long term daily habits to thrive. There is never a quick fix!! If you need help putting in that framework so you can feel & look your best for a very long time. Follow the link in bio or send me a message & we can chat ✌️😘

I have been leaning into Bircher style oats with fruit for breakfast during the summer, as summer metabolism favours carbohydrates. When the weather cools, I’ll be back to eggs & veg for breakfast as winter metabolism favours fats. The beauty of eating mostly local & seasonal is that you don’t really need to think about it too much, you just eat what’s bountiful at the time.
I’ve been playing with different variations, this matcha version was a good one, with the matcha adding chlorophyll & antioxidants. You can make it the night before, making it more digestible & an easy breakfast. If you wanted to make it a little sweeter you could also add a chopped medjool date.

MATCHA & BERRY OATS

Ingredients

1 tbsp chia
½ cup of oats
½ cup yogurt
¼ cup filtered water, cloudy apple juice or milk
2 tsp matcha powder (I used Thankfully Nourished Organic Matcha available at www.angel-munro.com)
2 tbsp frozen raspberries
1 tsp vanilla bean paste
1 tbsp of maple syrup (optional)
Fresh berries to top

Add oats, chia, matcha, vanilla, yogurt & liquid of choice to a bowl. If your using apple juice you won’t need the maple syrup but if your using water or milk I recommend adding it. Stir everything well then fold in frozen raspberries & place into a glass jar or cup, leave to sit for at least an hour or optionally leave in the fridge overnight take it out at least half an hour before eating so it can get to room temperature. Top with fresh berries & enjoy.

S/S before the fire horse

S/S before the fire horse

In 2026 the notion that the human body is something that can be hacked is fading. The human body is perfectly designed to interact with the earth. Trying to force it via gadgets, pharmaceuticals, synthetic supplements & trickery does not work long term. What does work long term is working with the laws of nature. When we are out of balance, we can’t force our way back, we need to assess where the disconnect is and adjust. Health isn’t complicated, it’s connectedness.
My books are back open for the year. Whether you have a serious health condition or need guidance to experience more health, vitality & longevity, I can help. If you haven’t had a session with me, think of it as a complete health audit where we look at diet, lifestyle, current medications & supplements as well emotional & environmental factors in your life that need adjusting. Expect a long term approach with the focus on the removal of toxins, and nourishment via sunlight, movement, realigning circadian rhythm, nervous system care, mitochondrial support & wholefood nourishment. Warning…. I don’t offer any quick fixes or magic bullets. This method is for those who a ready to take radical responsibility for their health and feel like they need guidance in working out where they need to start. Link in bio.

Quick pickled cabbage salad
A good little meal prep ritual, cheap to make & bulks out any meal think tacos, falafel bowls, salads, ect.
Supports gut health, liver detox & blood sugar regulation. Adds flavour to meals & fills out your plate, helping with satiation.
Ingredients
1 cup vinegar ( apple cider vinegar, white wine vinegar or red wine vinegar)
1 cup filtered water
2 cloves of minced garlic
1 tsp salt
2 tsp of sumac (optional)
2 tbsp of maple
1/2 large red cabbage

Directions
Slice cabbage in a food processor or finely by hand, keeping one of the outer leaves aside. Find 2 clean large jars & stuff the cabbage in, pressing down as you go so it’s well compacted.
Add water, maple syrup, vinegar & salt to a saucepan & bring to boil. Turn off the heat & add garlic & sumac if using. Poor over the cabbage until both jars are full. Tear two pieces of the reserved cabbage leaf & place in the top both jars, pressing down to keep the cabbage submerged under the pickling liquid. Keep in fridge for a week or two.

The way that autism. ADHD & ADD are being diagnosed via the DSM-5 encompasses so many different presentations that when it comes to debating causes we end up in a literal shit fight because we are comparing apples to oranges. In order to have real exploration & real debate we first need to clarify definitions, something the DSM-5 misses spectacularly
This clip is from my Q&A a few weeks back I speak on the topic of autism, ADHD & ADD and therapeutics at the 36:02 minute mark. I also did a video

After being sick & general life stuff, I finally got to record the Q&A episode.
I answer questions regarding portion size, vitamin deficiencies, raising children to make healthy choices, Saffron & Lions mane for ADHD, microwaves, canned food, air fryers & growing veggies
Inevitable tangents from me have me also covering deuterium & seasonal eating, mineral deficiencies, the validity of vitamin isolation studies, the necessity for an individual approach when it comes to ADHD & autism & if there is any evidence to support the neurodiverse concept.
The Q&A was fun if you have any questions DM me & I’ll do another one soon.

What’s the best way to get vitamin D other than being in the sun?
Eggs eggs eggs eggs
The chickens spend all day scratching around in the sun eating plants (including ones you don’t want them to 😫) & bugs, all is which are capturing the sun and putting it in a neat little package for you 🥚 🥚 🥚
Cod liver oil is my other go to. You can find it on my website.
As for synthetic #vitamind supplements? Chuck them in the bin. They’re toxic to the liver & kidneys & they can interfere with calcium/potassium ratios, depletes magnesium & vitamin A & dysregulates thyroid hormones. You can’t replace what the sun gives us with something made in a lab.

Menopause is a completely natural & necessary process yet in current consensus medicine it is almost always pathologized. The notion being that once we stop producing estrogen & progesterone we are doomed if we don’t take HRT, with many allopathic & natural practitioners promoting this idea while completely ignoring the very real risks associated with taking HRT. Is the beautiful female body inherently flawed in her design, or is modernity to blame? I covered all of this is on Vital Mentality, episode 4.

Late breaky chopped seasonal salad situation
Organic local eggs (my chickens aren’t laying atm 😫)
Freshly picked sorrel, rocket & parsley
Homemade sauerkraut
Feta
Avo
Chives
Homemade crispy chilli (with olive oil)
Slightly odd combo but but delicious & seasonal which in my opinion is one of the most important components of a “healthy” diet.
An excerpt from one of my past blog posts………
“Eating seasonally means we are getting what we need in correlation to the thermal nature of the season i.e., hydrating watery fruits & vegetables in summer & warming root vegetables & brassicas that require slower & longer cooking times when we need warming up in the wintertime. Food grown locally & seasonally catches the light codes and energetic charge that we need at that point in time. This can be affirmed when we look at deuterium, also known as “heavy hydrogen,” is a heavy isotope of hydrogen. Deuterium/hydrogen ratio has a key role in cell cycle regulation and cellular metabolism. Excess deuterium in the body is associated with disease. The level of deuterium that is in food changes with seasons to match the UV at that time i.e. eggplant eaten in season in February - April will have the right deuterium level to maintain health during that time of year. Which just goes to show that living our lives in sync with the rhythms of nature is the easiest & simplest way to maintain optimal health. One could argue, the only way.”

Veggie box still life (from Saturday)
Best way to eat seasonally & organic is to get a box. This was from @ceresfairfood I got the small mixed fruit & veg box, all of this for $58.50 & they deliver all over Melbourne. It’s not sponsored it’s just the cheapest way to eat organic, one of the best things you can do for your health. I’ve been getting these for over 10 years & I have to say, it made me a better cook from having to use what showed up every week. It’s a win win win win situation.

I made the nourishing traditions by @sallyfallonmorell yogurt pastry yesterday in the food processor (this bit took about 2 minutes) & left it on the counter to ferment for about 24hrs. The fermentation is sped up by the yogurt & leaves you with a pastry that tastes like sourdough & like all fermented goods makes the nutrients more bioavailable & makes it easier on digestion. The quantity left me with enough pastry for three pie shells, I made a savoury & a sweet pie & put one in the freezer for another day.

Ingredients
• 250g butter, grated
• 1 cup plain thick yogurt
• 3 1/2 cups whole wheat flour also good with spelt
• 1 1/2 tsp sea salt
Method
To make by hand rub the butter & flour & salt together until it resembles breadcrumbs, add the yogurt, stirring in with a wooden spoon when it comes together, knead for a few minutes until you have a smooth ball of dough
To make it in the food processor, blitz the flour, salt & butter until combined then add the yogurt & mix till a ball forms. At this point you can either use it immediately or leave it on the counter for 12-24 hours to ferment.
Roll it out on a floured surface and place in a baking paper lined pie tin. I always leave an overhang of pastry & trim it with a knife after I blind bake it to avoid shrinkage, but you don’t necessarily need to do that.
Blind bake for 15 minutes with baking weights (ceramic, chickpeas or rice) & then 10 minutes without the weights.
Fill with filling of choice & bake again.
I did potato, kale & capsicum cheesy quiche thingy & a lemon tart.

Fill with filling of choice & bake again.
I did potato, kale & capsicum cheesy quiche thingy & a lemon tart.

7 minute eggs
Homemade tomato relish
@aliceinframes zucchini & onion fritters that I made last night & popped in the toaster to heat them up. I always make these when it’s zucc season & when it’s over & the weather cools I swap to my pumpkin version (inspired by her recipe) pictured in the second slide & link in bio for that recipe.
The chickpea flour makes them high protein & although I think counting calories & macros is boring & unnecessary I do feel better if I start most days with a protein focused meal, no actual counting required ✌️

My bio on my website was a bit of a blah word salad that said nothing so i’ve elaborated in the spirit of being more open (not always easy for me).
I decided to put it here.
Hi, I’m Angel Munro, I’m a Naturopathic Nutritionist (BHSc Nut Med). I started my Bachelor of Health Science in Acupuncture, part time in 1999. In that time, I also took subjects in Bach flower essences & massage & completed a certificate in Tui Na massage (traditional Chinese massage), which I practiced for over 14 years, working with athletes, corporate & private clients. Halfway through my degree I deferred for a decade in that time I raised children & managed businesses.
When I finally went to back to university in 2014 to finish my degree I switched from acupuncture to nutrition, completing it in 2018. The diversity in my formal training resulted in a broad & holistic understanding of both western & eastern alternative medicine.
Over the last 7 years I have run my own nutrition practice, coordinated & delivered a Kitchen Garden program, worked as a private & commercial chef specialising in seasonal organic food. I now practice from my office/warehouse that also houses my online store The Shop, dedicated to sourcing the best wholefood supplements, personal care products & items that facilitate a natural life.
My journey with natural medicine & alternative health is lifelong. Born via homebirth, I was raised on a vegetarian diet which I have maintained throughout my life, although, the last several years I have included the occasional bit of seafood & intermittent use of animal-based wholefood supplements. Growing up I didn’t have a family doctor, instead I was taken to chiropractors, doctors of Chinese medicine & naturopaths when unwell. To this day, now in my late 40’s, I have only ever had one 💉 (a tetanus shot after an accident when I was 11), one round of antibiotics, (intravenously, that was given to me in hospital when I was 19 & I had pneumonia) & I have only been to the dentist a handful of times in my life for a clean & a check up. All testament that it is very possible to be in good health with very little intervention from allopathic medicine.

The term nutrition stems from the words nourish & nurture. Yet the concept of nutrition has veered greatly from its original etymology. And nutritionists have a lot to answer for! 🙋‍♀️😬. The reductionist view on nutrition that the industry has promoted has sent people in the wrong directions in regard to health & has left people more confused & disconected from their health than ever. I first started my degree in natural medicine when I was twenty, I majored in acupuncture, did half a degree & then had a long break looking after young children & working on other businesses. When I finally went back to finish the degree in my mid thirties I swapped to nutrition & slowly deviated from my holistic Chinese medicine training that valued the seasons, the thermal nature of the body & food, emotions & energy to the narrow thinking of reducing what it is to truly nourish & nurture down to biochemical elements, forgetting about the whole sum of life. It’s been through now years of practice that I am seeing the value in my previous training. True nourishment comes from every interaction we have in our daily life, if we choose it.

New recipe up on the Journal - Tart Alla Norma (Eggplant & Ricotta Tart) inspired by a killer eggplant parmigiana pie I had at Bread Club a few weeks ago + few referenced nutrition-y nerdy words on seasonal eating, deuterium & seed oils cause I can’t ever just write a recipe 🤣
