If your libido has changed and you’ve been told it’s “just stress”, “just hormones”, or “just part of getting older”, you’re not imagining things — and you’re not alone. Libido changes are often one of the body’s clearest signals that something deeper needs attention.

Libido is often discussed as a personality trait, a relationship issue, or something that naturally fades with age. In reality, libido reflects how supported, nourished, and regulated the body feels.

Whether libido is low, absent, fluctuating, or unusually high, these changes are not random. They are signals from the body that something deeper needs attention.

This is something I see regularly in clinic, across all life stages — not only during perimenopause or menopause.

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.

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.
