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

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 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.

But let’s be real—weight loss remains a deeply emotional and often triggering topic, especially when medication is involved. I've read countless comments on social media that are harsh, judgmental, and full of shame. It’s heartbreaking. Every woman deserves to feel seen, heard, and supported—no matter how she chooses to take care of her body.

The prolonged fatigue, mental fog, and overall sense of unwellness seen in individuals with Long COVID share a remarkable resemblance to Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS). Both conditions are characterised by persistent symptoms that defy conventional explanations and may linger for months, if not years. 

These symptoms are:- Persistent fatigue, exhaustion and lack of energy, brain fog and cognitive issues, immune system dysfunction, muscle aches and joint pain, gut health and microbiome imbalances, hormonal imbalances or hormone dysregulation.
