A: I’m Canadian but both my parents were born in Portugal so I’m also Portuguese.

A: Yes, I left my 9-5 Marketing corporate job back in January 2017 and have been working full time on HealthNut Nutrition ever since!

A: I’ll give you two! I can touch my nose with my tongue and I used to be a bartender in Australia. 

A: This nickname started prior to the YouTube channel. It was just a fun nickname I started calling Matt back when we first started dating and it just stuck. I love it and I’m pretty sure he does too! Haha

A: Why thank you! Mr. Matt and I are so in love with our little furry girl, Cashew and love posting and sharing her adventures on her personal Instagram account which you can follow her on here: @cashew_the_boxer 

A: Although it is a business run by both of us Matt also works full time in Finance. When he’s not running the HealthNut Shop and HealthNut Pup, his passion lies in real estate investing and is something we both also do on the side as well. 

A: I have rounded up some of my favourite skincare products for you to browse and get inspired HERE.

A: Yes! I recently wrote my very first book, The HealthNut Cookbook which includes over 100 recipes will make your taste buds dance and prove that healthy eating does not have to be boring! The HealthNut Cookbook is a #1 Bestseller, and is available in stores and online to order! Learn more here. 

A: You could say I’m a Flexitarian although I don’t follow any specific label or “diet.” Instead I focus on eating wholesome nutrient-rich foods, low processed sugars/carbs, whole grains, loads of vegetables and fruit, healthy fats, fermented foods, good sources of animal protein like wild salmon, organic chicken and free-range eggs. I like to say I follow the 80/20 method, where I eat healthy 80% of the time while leaving 20% for sweets and wine. Eating intuitively without restrictions has allowed me to create a healthy and balanced relationship with food and really enjoy what I’m putting into my body.

A: I look at supplements as exactly what they’re called, supplements to my regular food and not replacements. I typically will take a multivitamin, vitamin C, vitamin D, Magnesium, Iron and a probiotic. During the winter months, I also like to up my omega 3 intake and will take a flax, hemp or fish oil supplement. I also like to add collagen powder and plant-based protein powder to my morning smoothie. 

A: If you follow me on social media you’ll know that I start almost every morning off with a green smoothie! To see a typical day of eating, watch my What I Eat in A Day Videos!

A: Gluten-Free Fluffy Pancakes hands down! If I could eat these every Sunday I would not be mad about it. 

A: Although I think variety is key when it comes to eating healthy I typically follow the same template when blending up a green smoothie. My go tos are: baby spinach, cucumber, ginger root, frozen banana, frozen mango, flaxseed, cinnamon, spirulina powder, vanilla plant-based protein powder, lots of ICE (I like my smoothies extra cold!), unsweetened oat milk and filtered water. You can also download my FREE “How to Make the Perfect Green Smoothie Guide” HERE.
