At Barefoot Nutrition, we believe in going back to the roots, literally. Our ethos is built around eating and living in alignment with how the human body evolve, and when you look at modern diets through that lens, one thing becomes painfully clear: ultra-processed foods (UPFs) have taken centre stage, and not in a good way.
But what exactly are ultra-processed foods? Why are they such a concern? And more importantly, what can we do to reduce them and reclaim our health?
We’ve all been there - reaching for another cup of coffee mid-afternoon just to keep going. Whether it’s a morning latte, a strong black tea, or an energy drink, caffeine can feel like a lifeline. But if you're relying on it daily to stay awake, alert, or productive, it might be time to rethink your energy strategy...
In today’s world of endless wellness options and overflowing supplement shelves, choosing the right supplements for your body can feel overwhelming. Do you need more vitamin D? Should you be taking magnesium? What about probiotics, collagen, or a daily greens blend?
The reality is this: there’s no one-size-fits-all solution when it comes to your health. Your body is unique - and your supplement routine should reflect that.
If you’re someone who trains regularly or lives an active lifestyle, you’ll know that performance isn’t just about what happens during your workout. What you do outside the gym - how you eat, rest, and recover - matters just as much (if not more). A solid diet is key, of course, but sometimes our bodies need a little extra support to keep up with the demands we put on them.
That’s where smart supplementation comes in. It can help fill in nutritional gaps, support energy levels, and make recovery that bit smoother.
Women’s health is an incredibly broad and beautiful topic. It covers everything from hormonal balance and reproductive health to bone strength, mood stability, immunity, skin vitality, and so much more. And while a well-balanced diet, regular exercise, and a good night’s sleep are key players, there is another piece to the puzzle that is essential: supplements. No idea where to start? Too many to choose from? We breakdown the key supplements that can support women’s health, how they work, and what to look out for when choosing your brand!
