Why not make a yummy, healthy banana bread that's naturally sweetened, packed with good stuff, and finished with a scatter of dark chocolate on top. Perfect for lunchboxes, or just a snack that doesn't need justification. No refined sugar. A sneaky grated carrot. Wholemeal flour for fibre. And just enough dark chocolate on top to make it...]]></description><link>https://www.fionasandemannutrition.com/post/the-banana-bread-even-your-fussiest-toddler-will-eat</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a7099042c283d8fc460fe49</guid><pubDate>Mon, 03 Aug 2026 13:42:53 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/d1244e_521bd661c91f4734b7757a9ff5cc2da7~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_919,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Fiona Sandeman</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Why Natural Light Matters More Than You Think]]></title><description><![CDATA[You don't need medication or another supplement to start fixing your energy, sleep and mood. You need about ten minutes outside, at the right time of day, without sunglasses on. Morning light sets your clock Deep in your brain, a small cluster of cells called the suprachiasmatic nucleus acts as your master circadian clock — and it resets daily based on light hitting your eyes. Bright morning light suppresses melatonin (the sleepy hormone) and supports your natural cortisol peak (the "cortisol...]]></description><link>https://www.fionasandemannutrition.com/post/why-natural-light-matters-more-than-you-think</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a4e38661f9d2605b7b867f8</guid><pubDate>Wed, 08 Jul 2026 12:00:53 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/d1244e_1bb448490aab4224baa109be405ff025~mv2.jpeg/v1/fit/w_768,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Fiona Sandeman</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Pregnancy Nutrient Nobody's Talking About]]></title><description><![CDATA[You've heard about folate. You know about omega-3s. But there's one nutrient that's essential during pregnancy — and almost unknown. That nutrient is choline. Both of my daughters were born during my nutrition training — which meant pregnancy wasn't just something I was studying, it was something I was living. Choline was the nutrient I couldn't stop reading about, so I made it the subject of my final year dissertation: does maternal choline supplementation during pregnancy influence early...]]></description><link>https://www.fionasandemannutrition.com/post/the-pregnancy-nutrient-nobody-s-talking-about</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a4d070e357b7b35568db592</guid><pubDate>Mon, 06 Jul 2026 14:23:17 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/d1244e_b24f2da97ef24e7aa20cd25b7b3890ef~mv2.jpeg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Fiona Sandeman</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Magnesium: The Most Common Deficiency I See]]></title><description><![CDATA[If I had to bet on one nutrient gap behind the cramps, the poor sleep, the headaches, and the "wired but tired" feeling so many clients describe, it would be magnesium. It's involved in over 300 processes in our body including  energy production, muscle and nerve function, blood sugar regulation, blood pressure, and bone health. Unfortunately today, it is often consistently low in our modern diets. Why is this deficiency so common today? 1) Our food contains less magnesium than it used to...]]></description><link>https://www.fionasandemannutrition.com/post/magnesium-the-most-common-deficiency-i-see-in-clinic-and-why</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a4f564a276b5151cb03af17</guid><pubDate>Tue, 30 Jun 2026 21:00:00 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/nsplsh_725563396856452d4c2d45~mv2_d_6000_4000_s_4_2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Fiona Sandeman</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sneaky Veggie Smoothie Recipe]]></title><description><![CDATA[Sweet, fruity, and kid-approved — with two full servings of veg blended in and undetected.
