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.

Have you heard of or experienced the very common hypothalamic amenorrhea, which is a lack of periods due to undereating or undereating carbs. You may have been mistakenly told you have “lean PCOS” when you actually have hypothalamic amenorrhea.

For many women, a regular menstrual cycle is a key indicator of overall health. However, when periods stop unexpectedly—especially in cases of anorexia or disordered eating—it’s a sign that the body is under significant stress. Amenorrhea is a common consequence of restricted eating, nutrient deficiencies, and emotional imbalance. As a naturopath and energy healer, I take a holistic approach in supporting the body to regain balance naturally.

When it comes to health, metabolism is often the unsung hero. It’s more than just a buzzword tied to weight loss; it’s the engine that powers every process in your body. From hormone balance to gut health, your metabolism plays a critical role in how you feel, function, and thrive. Let’s dive into what metabolism really is, why visceral fat is such a stubborn obstacle, and how Naturopathy can help you achieve true metabolic health.

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. 

As a dedicated Women's Health & Digestive Health Naturopath, I specialise in helping businesswomen who are experiencing the ups and downs of perimenopause and menopause.

Whether you are experiencing digestive issues, such as Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), or Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO) or hormonal imbalances, I take a holistic approach. I provide personalised care to empower women to achieve optimal health and well-being.

The lymphatic system plays a vital role in maintaining the body's internal balance, defending against infections, and supporting overall health and well-being. Proper functioning of the lymphatic system is essential for optimal immune function, detoxification, and overall vitality.

Dry skin brushing is a simple and effective technique that can support lymphatic drainage and overall detoxification.
