Your diagnosis is part of your story. It doesn't have to become your identity.

Too often I see people who have spent years being defined by a diagnosis, following protocols designed for a condition rather than receiving the care designed for THEM.

A diagnosis can be incredibly validating. Finally having a name for what you've been experiencing MATTERS.

But I believe the investigation shouldn't stop there.

Two people with the same diagnosis can have entirely different genetics, biochemical imbalances, environmental exposures, nutritional deficiencies, immune responses and life experiences.

So why would we assume they need the same approach?

In my clinical practice, im interested in understanding the person behind the diagnosis.

What contributed to their health challenges? Which systems are interconnected? What might be driving their symptoms or preventing recovery?

Your diagnosis deserves to be a knowledged, But your individuality deserves to be investigated.

You are more than your diagnosis.

And you deserve healthcare that recognises that.

SCHOOL HOLIDAYS = TIME FOR A HEALTH CHECK

School terms are busy.

Sometimes it’s not until the holidays that we have time to stop and notice how our kids are really doing.

Are they struggling with:

✨ Low energy or fatigue
🧠 Concentration, focus or learning
😴 Poor sleep
🤧 Frequent colds or low immunity
🌿 Eczema, allergies or histamine symptoms
🥣 Constipation, bloating or tummy complaints
😣 Anxiety, irritability or mood changes
🍎 Picky eating or concerns about nutrition

In a children's health consultation, I look at the bigger picture: diet, nutrient status, gut and microbiome health, sleep, nervous system regulation, lifestyle and, where appropriate, functional testing.

Sometimes a few simple changes can make a significant difference to how a child feels and functions.

🌿 i have a few times still available this week - Thursday & Friday at flannerys Benowa.
🌿Its only $95 for children under 13yrs

☀️FRIDAY IS DISCOUNT DAY 20% Off supplements☀️

If there’s something you’ve been meaning to investigate, this can be a great time to do it.

DM me “KIDS” for appointment information or book via the link in my bio.

Our bodies evolved with daylight, regular movement and darkness at night. Today, many of us spend most of the day sitting indoors, getting less natural sunlight and movement, while being exposed to artificial light well into the evening.

Natural daylight helps regulate our circadian rhythm and supports Vitamin D production, while regular movement supports metabolism, circulation, mood and healthy sleep. At night darkness is an important signal for the release of melatonin, whereas bright artificial light, especially in the evening, can delay this natural signal and make it harder for the brain to recognise that it is time to sleep.

Sometimes supporting better health means getting back to the basics our biology was designed around.

✨️Move your body
✨️Get outside in natural daylight
✨️Allow your environment darker as bed time approaches

DNA testing helps you understand your strengths and weaknesses - which pathways in your body may need support.

Its not just MTHFR we look at!

We can see from DNA testing - pathways involved in detoxing, neurotransmitter support, hormones, immune response, histamine pathways.... and how well we can uptake certain nutrients from our diet.

Having a certain gene doesn't mean you will get a disease. Instead it empowers you to know which pathways need support.

Book a consult with me with the link in my bio to order a DNA test or have your results interpreted. Ive been helping people understand genetic pathways and their influence on our health for 15 years.

Fusobacterium nucleatum is primarily an oral bacteria. It lives within the oral microbiome and plaque but can become more abundant with gingivitis and periodontal disease.

What makes this bacteria interesting is that it doesn't always stay in the mouth.

Research shows F. nucleatum can enter circulation and has been detected in tumour tissue, including colorectal and breast tumours.

In breast cancer research it has been shown to;
🦠reduce tumour-infiltrating T cells and alter the immune environment surrounding the tumour
🦠 promote tumour growth and metastatic progression in animal models

This does not mean that Fusobacterium nucleatum causes cancer. But highlights the importance of addressing the drivers of disease when you're wanting to heal. AND the relationship between oral microbiome, inflammation, immune function and the tumour microenvironment.

🦠 CAN WE TEST FOR IT?

YES! advanced stool testing can identify fusobacterium nucleatum ✨️

Naturopathic stool & microbiome testing is a key tool I use in clinic - not only once disease has been diagnosed, but to better understand what may be influencing a person's health before problems progress.

Testing helps us look beyond symptoms and understand what may be happening underneath.

21/09/2026

If you have been diagnosed with cancer (or any disease) its important to assess the environment or terrain that allowed the disease to grow.

Just like an apple tree that starts to grow rotten apples. Yes you get rid of the apples but you also need to test the soil - assess the microbes, pH, mineral balance etc to understand how disease managed to grow. Otherwise it will keep producing rotten apples.

Our bodies are the same. If we continue the same lifestyle that created disease in the first place, or dont identify the underlying drivers why would we expect a different outcome?

I offer in-clinic testing for heavy metal toxicity and nutrient absorption.

Blood tests are not always the best way to test your nutrients. Blood nutrients are kept stable to ensure good functioning of your heart and kidneys. For example your body will pull calcium out of the bone (osteoporosis) to keep calcium levels in blood stable. So you wont see low calcium in blood unless something is seriously wrong.

Im interested in how you are ABSORBING your nutrients! That can show you a lot about your body and its individual needs!

If you are wondering about the nutrition of your children this scan is a great option. Its non invasive and results are discussed during the consult.

Its also a great way to assess whether supplements are actually working! No point continuing to do the same thing and expecting a different result! Best to TEST and REASSESS to ensure you're working towards your goals.

OUR BODIES WERE MADE TO MOVE

Modern life has changed, but our biology hasn’t.

Many of us, myself included, spend hours sitting at a desk and looking at a screen. But our bodies weren’t designed to stay still all day - they were designed to walk, bend, lift, stretch, climb and move.

If you have a sedentary job, you need to make a conscious effort to create movement in your day.

What that movement looks like may change throughout your life. Injury, illness, hormones and ageing can all affect how we exercise - but movement still matters. Sometimes it’s strength training or a hard workout. Other times it might simply be walking, stretching, gardening or gently rebuilding after an injury.

The goal isn’t to exercise perfectly. It’s to keep your body moving.

Move every day. Build strength. Get outside. Do something that gets your heart rate up and makes you sweat.

Our modern lives may revolve around chairs and screens, but our bodies still thrive on movement.
