Of course, we’d all love to fill our trolleys with organic wholefoods, shop at local farmers’ markets and visit speciality grocers each week. But the reality for most Aussies is that the regular supermarket is where we do most of our shopping.
And I don’t think eating well and supporting our gut should mean making food more complicated, expensive or inaccessible. So, rather than adding to the fear and noise around what we should and shouldn’t be eating, here are 10 of my favourite things to look out for when I’m strolling the supermarket aisles. 🛒

Tell me have I missed any of your favourite? What’s one thing you’d add to this list?

“You can poo every day and still be constipated”. 💩
It’s a line I hear myself saying all the time in clinic as a gut-health naturopath.

Straining, hard to pass poos or never feeling fully empty are all worth paying attention to, even if your toilet habits look “regular” on paper.

I see constipation driven by a mix of things: pelvic floor dysfunction, hormonal shifts, gut motility issues that can lead to SIBO and stress!
So many people spend months or years trying one supplement or laxative after another without finding the actual cause.

If any of this sounds familiar, I offer a free discovery call to chat through your concerns and see if I can help. DM me “GUT” and I’ll send you the link. 🌿

“Normal” results are good news. They’re also the starting line, not the finish line. 📝
They tell us nothing serious is going on. But they don’t always tell us why you’re still bloated, uncomfortable or planning your day around a bathroom.
❓The question that’s still waiting for an answer is: “What’s causing my symptoms, and what can I do about it?”
Exploring this properly usually means spending more time and looking at the whole picture: how you digest, what you react to, your gut bacteria, your stress and sleep, and how it all fits together. Then building a plan one step at a time.
If this sounds like you, I’m here to help 🙋🏻‍♀️

🛒Navigating the freezer isle at the supermarket and making better choices can be confusing as there is a big variation between products and their ingredients. I’m all about empowering you to understand more, and when we know better we can make better choices.

Having some of these on hand really helps me stay on track during the week when I need to prioritise convenience without compromising nutritional quality.

❄️ It may be unpopular opinion, but I use my freezer a lot! Mostly for convenience as I simply will not cook from scratch every night. I batch cook, freeze a lot of proteins, sauces even herbs, and always have elements of a meal ready to defrost.

As the founder of Bodhi Wellness and a degree qualified Naturopath & Nutritionist with over 15 years of clinical experience, I’ve seen just how our modern lifestyles are impacting our health, energy and emotional wellbeing.

I’m passionate about taking complex, often conflicting health information and turning it into realistic, practical and personalised advice.
My approach combines the latest evidence-informed research with the holistic principles of naturopathic medicine.  I have a particular interest in supporting:
☆ gut and microbiome health
☆ gut–brain connection
☆ nervous system health
☆ energy and emotional wellbeing
☆ auto-immune management

When we know better we can do better, and sometimes it’s a simple swap or upgrade that you never knew existed until someone showed you.  Of course, in an ideal world I’d buy everything organic, make more of my family’s food from scratch, and shop weekly at the farmers’ market, local butcher and fishmonger. But the reality is… I don’t. And I don’t expect you to either. I’m a busy mum, and I shop at the supermarket too.  Here are 10 things I buy on repeat from Woolies and a few slightly better choices you may want to make too.

The habits quietly disrupting your gut health (that have nothing to do with what you’re eating)…
Many of us focus the blame on the food we’re eating, but often it’s the way we’re eating and living that keeps the gut inflamed, reactive, and struggling to respond positively to your treatment protocols.

Here are 3 habits I see constantly in clinic that are sabotaging your gut health👇

1️⃣ Eating too fast (barely chewing) 👄
Digestion doesn’t start in your stomach it starts in your mouth.
When you rush meals, you:
• Miss out on proper enzyme release
• Put additional pressure on your stomach and bowels
• Increase bloating, reflux, and that “heavy” feeling after eating
Think of chewing as pre-digesting your food. Slowing down = less work for your gut later.

2️⃣ Ignoring chronic stress 😩
You can be eating the “perfect” diet, but if your body is in a constant state of stress… digestion takes a back seat.
Stress shifts you into “fight or flight” → which:
• Reduces stomach acid and enzyme production
• Slows motility (leaving you more constipated)
• Increases inflammation in the gut
Over time, this can show up as bloating, sensitivities, IBS-type symptoms, or poor nutrient absorption.

3️⃣ Not drinking enough water 💧Hydration is one of the most underrated digestive supports.
Without enough water:
• Stools becomes harder and slower to pass
• Fibre can actually worsen bloating/constipation instead of improve it
• The gut lining doesn’t function optimally
Think: hydration = lubrication for your digestive system.

✨Gut health isn’t just about ‘what’ you eat, but ‘how’ you eat, and importnatly the environment in which you’re eating!

Start here before overcomplicating things.
Small habits. Big shifts.

Probiotics aren’t a cure-all for gut health,and here’s why…
Most people think taking a probiotic will magically fix bloating, constipation, food reactions, or other long-term gut issues.
The truth? ➡️ Each probiotic strain has a specific purpose, and taking one that doesn’t match your actual needs often won’t help.

While there’s strong research showing probiotics can be helpful in certain situations, gut healing is bigger than a capsule. To truly support long-term gut health, you often need to focus first on improving
🔹 digestion
🔹 reducing inflammation
🔹 supporting bile flow and stomach acid production
🔹identifying and treating underlying imbalances

And when it comes to choosing a probiotic, the right strains for the right purpose make all the difference. Random multi-strain products from the shelf often contain strains that don’t address your specific needs, which is why you may find they aren’t working for you.

If you want someone to guide you through proper gut testing to determine where to start with your gut issues, please reach out 🙋🏻‍♀️
