Hi! I’m a functional nutrition consultant and a certified GAPS practitioner in WA’s southwest

20/10/2026

Guys… this is a little different to my usual content 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼

Fun fact - I was a beauty therapist in my past life. It was this industry that actually inspired my passion for nutrition!

Glowing skin isn’t just about what goes ON your skin, it’s the little consistent habits of what you eat and drink to nourish yourself, how you move and lifestyle factors that influence what shows on the outside. This is MY kind of skincare.

My top priorities are;

skin food = nourish, smooth, clear skin
collagen = skin strength, firmness, elasticity
hydrate = replenish fluids and flush toxins
MLD (manual lymphatic drainage) = lymphatic flow reduces puffiness + waste clearance
Sweat = circulation, detox, sunshine + fresh air

Also - GOOD SLEEP! This one gets a little forgotten but it’s easy to implement and making yourself wind down, get rid of the screens and get an early night does wonders 🙌🏼

Obviously I love GAPS and good food - I believe the GAPS diet provides so much nourishment for the body and the gut. But it’s seriously working from within to encourage that GLOW up your skin needs.

🥩 Animal based foods provide the building blocks and are fundamental to healing
🌱Plant based foods are the cleaners and provide food for the microbiome (if tolerated)

I found this organic, cold pressed blueberry juice (in Perth) and simply added gelatin to make gummies. No sweetener required. I usually add a little honey if needed.

Thermomix;

300ml juice
3 tbs gelatin ( I used Thankfully Nourished )
8 mins, 80°C, speed 1

Cookertop;

300ml juice
3 tbs gelatin
Sprinkle gelatin onto cold juice in a small saucepan then turn on heat. Gentle heat and stir until dissolved

Pour into moulds or glass container

These make great little guy friendly snacks. I often add gummies to lunchboxes (as many of you would know!)

Super simple, delicious and nutritious x

Just a little reminder that I’ll be unavailable during the October school holidays.

I’ll be back and ready to go from Tuesday 23th October. In clinic on Thursdays at NATURALISTE HEALTH || DUNSBOROUGH and telehealth for the rest of the week.

For those with kiddos - enjoy your time with them, they grow so fast!

Also, a perfect time to get some great nourishment into them with the foods that are tricky to get into a lunchbox.

Ways to get meat stock in… add to jellies, use with juice/milks to make icypoles, replace water in most recipes with meat stock/make frothy warm drinks.

Ways to get probiotics in… ferment some fruit and add to smoothies or make ice blocks to add to fizzy water or kefir, roll some sauerkraut up into nori rolls, make yoghurt barks (spread yoghurt onto baking paper and sprinkle whatever you like on it and freeze. Break up and eat as snacks), ferment some veggie sticks.

Use nuts while you can! Replace flour with almost meal, make trail mixes, roast some yourself with yummy flavours. Avoid nuts if there are digestive issues.

Have fun, stay sane, get outside ☀️

Simply avoiding high histamine foods and taking anti-histamines is not enough to solve your issues - in fact, this can exacerbate the situation.

Anti-histamines cause FURTHER damage to the GUT LINING which is likely not in the ideal state if you are getting symptoms.

It is essential to support the gut lining because this is where our immune cells are. So things like mast cells can become over-activated if the protective barrier is down and DAO (diamine oxidase) production is altered. This means histamine from food isn’t being metabolized leading to symptoms.

Gut dysbiosis further contributes, especially if the histamine producing bacteria overgrow.

What can we do to help? Consuming short-cooked and instantly frozen meat stocks… defrost and warmed gently when ready to consume.

You can LOWER consumption of histamine foods but don’t avoid them entirely. They contribute to crowding out the pathogenic bacteria.

Remember - the microbiome and the epithelium (gut lining) work together to create our protective barrier.

A focus on the most nutrient dense foods is recommended - Full GAPS is perfect for this and the more meat stock you can consume, the faster you resolve your histamine issues (start small if you don’t know how much you can tolerate)🙌🏼

Sooooo…. WHILST working on the underlying causes of histamine issues and prepping for the dreaded “season” that IYKYK…

Here are some supplements - best if food sourced, that are my fave. These can be taken daily but short-term for relief because sometimes you need SOMETHING

Organ meats contain B vitamins which help to improve intolerance. A multi with some kidney = even better support as kidney contains natural DAO (diamine oxidase) for histamine metabolism. Not for everyone but worth a try. Organ meats are generally so nutrient dense with alllll the other beautiful things they contain!

Quercetin - fab for respiratory / immune support / inflammation

Vit C, Lavender, MCT - these act as natural anti-histamines, reducing histamine or relieving symptoms. I love to put a couple of drops of lavender in a diffuser or rub in my hands and inhale, also great to put straight on hives.
A little combo I put daily in the diffuser is lavender, lemon and peppermint. I use dōTERRA AUS they’re so beautiful

Probiotic - sometimes some fermented foods are really triggering (but we still want to include them really slowly) but in a capsule or powder form, we are still providing beneficial bacteria to support immune function and balance

Magnesium - making sure our stores are good to deal with histamine amounts. Also a good 10-15 sprays on the body works well

Activated Charcoal - when there is too much histamine, this helps to rid the body of them (use with enemas and you have an amazing detox/drainage tool 🙌🏼)

Supplements are just that, not the solution but to support you alongside the foods and other tools to resolve histamine sensitivity and allergies.

Remember, a huge percentage of immune system is in our gut so we really give that some love and of course we want a happy liver = less overburden/more clearance

NATURALISTE HEALTH || DUNSBOROUGH will sort you out for most of these or another version so go see the girls if you think you need some support x

For years I suffered with allergies particularly around “Hayfever season”

I was never educated on the state of my body and my health and how this can impact my reactions at this time.

Once I learned how important gut health is in relation to dealing with allergies and hayfever, I have only ever gotten better with each season. Not perfect but I can now get through without taking an antihistamine tablet.

The tablets in themselves contribute to poor gut health, extra work for the liver and suppresses our immune system - all the things we need for support with this issue.

Guess what? GAPS is perfect for resolving histamine intolerance/hayfever.
The foods and detoxification tools bring integrity and balance back to the gut and there is so much we can do to support the liver/detox system/function.

Now is the best time to begin preparing for the “hayfever” season. October is usually where I personally began to struggle but I have managed to get through the season quite well these days.

I’ll post some things over the next few days and weeks about what you can do.

But seriously… this is where I live and it could t have been a more perfect morning for a walk

Who loves sour cream?

Using a mesophilic starter culture makes fermenting so much easier, no need for fancy fermenting vessels.

This is a one and they do starters for other ferments too. I love to use them for yoghurt also.

These are great for time poor / less confident / beginners / or really anyone wanting to make ferments without the hassle but with quality probiotics.

I know I like to show you how easy things can be and with a little organization and small amount of time, you can have your food prep done quite easily. In doing so, this creates consistency - something I encourage the most!

I only started making kimchi last year. Not sure why it took me so long, perhaps I thought it was going to be difficult.

Nope! It’s just another very simple recipe and takes around 7 days to be ready… and the flavour is mellow spicy and beautifully balanced.

Who wants the recipe??

It’s so good to see these lovely products on the shelf and of course they are delicious…

But when talking about consuming meat stock - nothing compares to homemade, short cooked, gelatinous/connective tissue/jointy meat on the bone meat stock.

And there are some great bone broth pastes - but they are not for a sensitive gut. Only if there are no digestive issues.

Just to be clear.
