🔥 AUTOIMMUNE DISEASE?
WHAT IS HAPPENING IN YOUR GUT?

No matter what type of autoimmune disease you are treating, supporting your gut health and reducing dietary contributors to inflammation are essential.

🚫 Cut out soft drinks, sweets and sugary snacks. Reduce added sugar and give your body more nutrient-rich nourishment.

🍷 Cut alcohol. It irritates the gut kills your good flora and contributes to inflammation.

🥡 Cut out ultra-processed foods. Replace packaged convenience foods and refined grains with wholefoods.

🌾 Identify your individual food triggers. Grains in particular can be inflammatory, consider a paleo style diet and see how your body responds.

🥦 Feed your beneficial gut bacteria. Include garlic, onions, asparagus, cooked and cooled potatoes, berries, fibre-rich foods, nuts and seeds.

🔎 Investigate persistent gut symptoms. Bloating, diarrhoea, constipation

🧪 Consider a complete microbiome test. I find this helpful to explore gut flora, parasites, bacterial pathogens, gut lining health and inflammation markers.

💚 Supporting your gut is an important part of reducing bacteria, parasites and inflammation that drive your autoimmune symptoms

Often clients come to us and a lot of testing has already been done and they are left wondering, what is wrong with me, when their test results have come up “normal”.

This testing is still helpful information as we look at test results, differently to your GP.

Your results may be normal and not fall in the range of needing medication, but they may not be optimal and some dietary or lifestyle swaps may be the answer.

If we don’t find the answer there, often the answer is in your timeline and it is a number of different health challenges or environmental exposures that have contributed to you now not feeling well.

These conversations of unpacking your underlying drivers take time. Thus your initial consultation with a Naturopath or Herbalist will take an hour and that is after we have already spent time analysing your questionnaire, diet/symptom diary and any blood tests or other reports you may have to share.

Feel free to book in for a chat or DM us to see how functional medicine may help you.

Don’t give up, you deserve to live a happy, healthy life.

Bloating is common.

But that does not mean you should just put up with it.

If your stomach is regularly swollen, uncomfortable or reacting after meals, the question is not:

“What food should I cut out next?”

It is:

What is driving the bloating?

Some of the things I commonly look at include:

🧪 Food intolerances or sensitivities

🦠 An imbalanced gut microbiome

🥣 Low digestive enzymes

🔥 Gut inflammation

🚽 Constipation or sluggish bowel movements

🧫 SIBO or other bacterial overgrowth

🌾 Coeliac disease or reactions to gluten

😵‍💫 Stress, which can directly affect digestion

💊 Medications or supplements that may be altering gut function

And sometimes, it is a combination of several things.

This is why randomly removing more and more foods is rarely the best long term strategy.

The goal is not to live on a tiny list of “safe” foods.

The goal is to understand why your gut is reacting in the first place.

Once we know the driver, we can support digestion far more specifically and start rebuilding tolerance, rather than continuing to guess.

If bloating has become your normal, it may be time to look a little deeper.

Some of the side effects of GLP-1 Medications include:

Vommiting, nausea, diarrhoea, constipation, abdominal pain, reflux, depression and increased heart rate.

Reduced food consumption may lead to inadequate intake of essential nutrients including: protein, fibre, magnesium, calcium, potassium, choline, vitamins A, B1, B12, C, D, E, K , iron and zinc.

Nutrient deficiencies may present as hair loss, fatigue, muscle weakness, poor wound healing, bruising, poor immunity, skin flakiness and itching.

Some of my favourite effective remedies include:

- Ginger for nausea and digestive comfort

- PHGG for bowel regularity and beneficial gut bacteria

- Fish oil for omega-3 support for your brain and metabolic health

- Quality Multivitamin and Mineral Complex

Of course we are all biochemically different, so reach out if you are needing support.

Feeling tired, foggy, cold, puffy, moody or like your body just isn’t responding the way it used to?
Your thyroid could be part of the picture.
The thyroid affects your energy, metabolism, mood, digestion, hormones, weight, hair, skin and so much more, but thyroid symptoms are often brushed off as stress, ageing or “just being busy”.
And sometimes, basic blood tests don’t tell the full story.
That’s why I’ve written a blog unpacking thyroid health in a simple way, including what symptoms to look for, what testing may be helpful, what nutrients support thyroid function, and why your symptoms are worth listening to.
Comment THYROID and I’ll send you the blog.

If sunscreen is part of your daily routine, it’s worth looking at what’s in it as it is being absorbed into your body!

Many conventional sunscreens contain chemicals that the body can recognise as hormones, which can contribute to hormonal imbalance over time.

The good news is, this is a really easy swap.

🌞 Choose a natural sunscreen with UVA + UVB protection

🍃 Look for products without synthetic chemicals

I’ve been loving sunscreen.

It’s natural, moisturising, and something you actually enjoy using every day. It replaces the need for foundation too!

The Edible Beauty Australia range is also really lovely 😍

Your skin care should be supporting your body, not adding to your toxic load.

Testosterone is about so much more than libido. 💪🧠
When we think about testosterone, sexual health is often the first thing that comes to mind but it supports SO much more!
Healthy testosterone levels help support:
💪 Muscle mass and strength
🦴 Bone density
❤️ Cardiovascular health
🔥 Metabolic health
🧠 Cognitive function
🙂 Mood and motivation
👨‍👩‍👧 Fertility and reproductive health
⚡ Energy, resilience and vitality
⏳ Healthy ageing
Testosterone levels naturally change throughout life, declining levels can start to affect how you feel physically and mentally.
You may notice changes in energy, recovery, motivation, strength, body composition, mood or libido.
The important thing is not to look at one symptom in isolation.
Hormones work together, and testosterone is only one part of the picture.
If you are not feeling like yourself, comment TEST and we will send you the link to a comprehensive hormone test.
Why do this test?
    •    Fitness enthusiasts: Optimise muscle growth, recovery and performance
    •    Anti-aging: Monitor and maintain hormonal balance for longevity and vitality
    •    Energy & drive: Identify causes of fatigue, low motivation and decreased libido
    •    Mental clarity: Support cognitive function through balanced hormones

Are you feeding your gut… or fighting it? 🌱
When gut symptoms show up, it is easy to jump straight into probiotics, antimicrobials, supplements and restrictive diets.
But what if your gut does not actually need more “killing off”?
Sometimes there may be parasites, unwanted bacteria or yeast that need to be addressed.
Other times, the bigger issue may be:
🦠 Low beneficial bacteria
🌿 Low butyrate producing bacteria
🛡️ Secretory IgA out of balance
🔥 Gut inflammation
⚖️ A microbiome that simply needs rebalancing
And sometimes it is a combination of several things.
Think of your gut like garden soil.
If the soil is depleted, inflamed or out of balance, adding more “seeds” is not always enough.
This is where microbiome testing can be useful. It can help us understand whether we need to remove the weeds, feed the soil, calm inflammation, rebuild beneficial flora… or do a little bit of everything. 🧪🌱
Because the goal is not to throw more supplements at your gut.
It is to understand what your gut actually needs.
💬 Comment GUT below and we will send you more information about microbiome testing.

Feeling tired all day… but suddenly wide awake when your head hits the pillow? 😴

Sometimes, the signs that your nervous system needs a little more support can show up in ways we start to think are just “normal”.

You might notice:
✨ You’re exhausted throughout the day, but struggle to switch off at night
✨ You feel like you’re constantly running on adrenaline and never truly rested
✨ Small tasks or everyday demands suddenly feel completely overwhelming

When your body has been under stress for a long time, it can become harder to move between periods of activity and genuine rest.

Rather than continually pushing through, perhaps it is time to ask: What does my body need right now?
To support your nervous system,start with the basics: consistent sleep, nourishing food, movement & scheduled downtime.

Feel you need more than the basics?
Here is where personalised herbal tonics can make a huge difference!

A morning tonic can give your adrenals the support they need to give you energy to get through the day whilst a night time tonic calms your nervous system at night to help you have a deep restful sleep 🌿

DM us your symptoms for personalised nervous system support.
