Start 2026 with a clearer understanding of your energy, stress, hormones and digestion as you transition into the new year. Many women find themselves feeling tired, anxious, bloated or “off” after the holidays — not because they lack motivation, but because their bodies are running in either a fast-paced (stress-driven) or slow (rebuilding) metabolic pattern. In this blog, I break down the signs of each pattern, explain how they affect your nervous system and digestive health, and share how Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) can be used to personalise your approach to nourishment, rest and healing. Together, we explore a gentler, physiology-aligned way to improve energy, calm the nervous system and support your whole body — including women’s health, hormones, digestion and children’s wellbeing — so you can feel balanced and energised all year long.

December isn’t the month to push harder — it’s the month to finish softly 🌿
If stress flares your gut, sleep or hormones, try these gentle reset tips: protein-first mornings, warm simple meals, a short walk after eating, and one boundary that protects your energy.
Your body doesn’t need perfection — it needs support

November shines a light on diabetes — a condition that’s more common than we realise and deeply connected to our hormones, gut health, and stress levels.

In this blog, I share how naturopathic and holistic care can support people living with or at risk of diabetes, including Type 1, Type 2 and Gestational diabetes.

You’ll learn about the early signs like insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome, how conditions such as SIBO and perimenopause intertwine with blood-sugar balance, and how technology like continuous glucose monitors can help you (and your practitioner) better understand your body’s unique patterns.

It’s all about small, sustainable steps — the kind that bring calm, balance, and energy back into your daily life.

Read more to explore gentle, practical naturopathic ways to support your blood sugar, hormones, and gut health this November.

Struggling with bloating or gut issues but it’s not SIBO? Discover other causes such as, hormones, gastroparesis, nervous system dysregulation, mineral imbalances, parasites and fungal overgrowth which can contribute to gut issues. If you haven't had the correct treatment or answers, it is important to work with a gut health professional to find out your root cause and have the correct treatment for you.  

I'm a gut health naturopath who loves working with patients to find out why they are suffering from these conditions and many more that are linked in with gut dysbiosis. 

Have you heard of SIBO — or suspected it might be the root of your bloating, fatigue, or food reactions? This month on the blog, I’m revisiting SIBO to share what’s changed in 2025, what not to do (like Dr Googling everything!), and how a naturopathic, phased approach works best.

If you’ve felt stuck or overwhelmed by SIBO symptoms, don’t miss this blog — and scroll to the end for your invite to my FREE “What is SIBO?” Masterclass happening soon!

Have you been feeling chronically tired, anxious, foggy-headed, or hormonally out of balance — even though your tests come back "normal"?
This blog explores the hidden world of viral overload, focusing on Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) and other lingering viruses like Herpes Simplex (HSV-1 and HSV-2), Ross River Virus, and Varicella-Zoster (chickenpox and shingles).

Many women are unknowingly carrying a low-grade viral burden that may be disrupting:

• Thyroid function (especially Hashimoto’s and hypothyroid)

• Hormonal balance in perimenopause

• Nervous system and mental wellbeing (anxiety, fatigue, insomnia)

• Immune resilience and inflammation

• Reproductive health and fertility

These viruses can go dormant and reactivate during stress, hormonal shifts, or burnout, creating a ripple effect across the whole body.

As a naturopath, I work with women to support their immune system, calm inflammation, and bring their bodies back into balance — naturally and holistically.

While most people associate gut health with digestion, the microbiome’s effects go far beyond the digestive system. One of the most critical but often overlooked connections is how gut health impacts cardiovascular health and the critical role oral health plays in this gut-heart connection. The mouth is the gateway to the digestive system, and the bacteria that thrive there can directly impact not only your gut microbiome but also your cardiovascular system.
