Your brain, your gut and your wellbeing are connected. What you put on your plate is part of that conversation.

Your gut and brain communicate in both directions through a network of nerves, hormones and immune signals, known as the gut–brain axis. It’s why stress can leave your stomach in knots, and why researchers are exploring how our gut microbes influence mood and brain function.

Food helps nourish both sides of this connection. Alongside the nutrients our brain needs, fibre from vegetables, fruit, legumes, nuts and wholegrains feeds beneficial gut bacteria.

At Forest, this is why we come back to wholefoods. Colour, variety and simple ingredients woven into everyday meals.

Blueberries and walnuts stirred through oats. Chickpeas and leafy greens tossed with olive oil. A warming lentil curry with plenty of vegetables.

Caring for your brain is part of caring for your whole body, and your next grocery shop is a practical place to start.

Passport, bikinis and activated charcoal.

If you’ve ever wondered what a nutritionist packs for a holiday, this is one of my personal favourites. A little jar that always finds a place in my travel bag, wherever I’m heading.

Packing light has never been my strength, but there’s always room for this one.

What’s the one thing you never travel without?

Vitamin B12 deserves a little more attention.

Your body needs it for healthy red blood cells, nerve function and normal energy metabolism. When levels are low, you might notice fatigue, brain fog, weakness or tingling in your hands and feet.

One of the richest natural food sources? Beef liver.

It provides naturally occurring B12 alongside other nutrients, including vitamin A, copper, iron and folate. A wholefood with plenty to offer.

Don’t love eating liver? We stock Australian organic beef liver in convenient capsules, making it easier to include this traditional food in your routine.

A 2 g serve provides 338% of the adult RDI for vitamin B12, natural folate (B9), iron, zinc, and 30% of your RDI for preformed Vitamin A (retinol)

Your gut bacteria need feeding, too.

Prebiotics are compounds in food that beneficial gut microbes use to support your health. Think of them as nourishment for the community living inside your gut.

Garlic, onions, leeks, asparagus, oats, chickpeas and apples provide different fibres that your gut microbes can use. As bacteria ferment these fibres, they produce compounds called short-chain fatty acids, which help support the gut environment.

As a nutritionist, Im always preaching variety… as many different compounds the better. Add oats to breakfast, and Turkey tail , chickpeas to your lunch, and garlic, onions or leeks to your dinner. Small additions across the day can help you build a more varied, fibre-rich diet.

Start gradually and pay attention to your digestion, especially if you’re prone to bloating.

Save this carousel for your next grocery shop. Which of these foods already makes a regular appearance on your plate?

Feeling stressed? Start by looking at how you’re nourishing yourself.
Cortisol is an essential hormone that helps your body respond to stress. The aim is to support its natural rhythm.
While no single food is a cortisol fix, your everyday eating habits are a practical place to start:
• Build meals around vegetables, whole grains, legumes and quality protein.
• Add variety with berries, leafy greens, nuts, seeds and oily fish.
• Notice how caffeine affects you, particularly if it leaves you feeling wired or interferes with sleep.
• Make time for proper meals, even on busy days.
Think oats with yoghurt and berries, a lentil salad with pumpkin seeds, or salmon with brown rice and greens.
Small, consistent habits can make nourishing yourself feel simpler when life gets busy.

Magnesium deserves a place on your plate, every day.

This essential mineral helps your body produce energy, supports normal muscle and nerve function, and contributes to healthy bones. It’s involved in more than 300 enzyme systems, quietly helping your body do its everyday work.

So, where can you find it?

• Pumpkin seeds and chia seeds
• Almonds and cashews
• Leafy greens, including spinach
• Beans, lentils and chickpeas
• Wholegrains, including oats and brown rice
• Cacao and dark chocolate

Getting more can be simple: sprinkle seeds over breakfast, add chickpeas to your salad, or enjoy a handful of nuts as a snack. These foods also bring fibre and other valuable nutrients to your day.

Food is always our starting point. If you’re finding it difficult to meet your magnesium needs through your diet, our ocean-sourced magnesium is an option to help bridge the gap alongside a varied, balanced diet.

Save this as a little reminder for your next grocery shop.
