Noticing more hair in the shower lately? 💇‍♀️

Thinning around your part.
Less volume than you used to have.
Hair that just doesn’t behave the way it once did.

If you’re in your 40s, this is something we see all the time in clinic.

As women move through perimenopause, hormonal shifts can quietly change how hair grows. Lower oestrogen and progesterone mean hair doesn’t stay in its growth phase as long, while androgens can have more influence on the follicles, particularly around the crown and hairline.

Layer in stress, nutrient depletion and other internal pressures, and hair changes can start to feel sudden and frustrating.

But this isn’t something you have to just put up with.

✨ With the right testing and personalised support, we can often slow excessive shedding and help support healthier, stronger hair through this transition.

Your hair isn’t failing you.
Your body is communicating.

💾 Save this if you’ve been wondering how to tackle perimenopausal hair loss.

Adult acne isn’t random… and it’s rarely just a skincare issue.

When breakouts show up along the jawline, chin or right before your period, hormones are often part of the picture.

In clinic, we most commonly see three drivers behind adult acne.

✨ Androgen excess or sensitivity
Higher testosterone can increase oil production, leading to blocked pores and deep, painful breakouts. Stress plays a big role here, elevated cortisol can push androgens even higher.

✨ Oestrogen dominance or poor oestrogen clearance
This isn’t always about “high oestrogen”, but how well your body clears it. Poor clearance can increase inflammation and oil production, contributing to cyclical breakouts, PMS, bloating and heavy or painful periods.

✨ Low progesterone
Progesterone is naturally calming and anti-inflammatory. When it’s low, oestrogen and androgens can dominate, often showing up as premenstrual acne, anxiety, poor sleep or PMDD-type symptoms.

This is why adult acne needs a different approach.

✨ Supporting skin long-term means looking at hormones, stress, thyroid function and how the body is coping as a whole, not just what you put on your face.

If your acne feels cyclical, stubborn or linked to your cycle, your body is giving you information.

📌 Save this for later.

Do you feel like your skin is trying to tell you something right now?

Breakouts that won’t budge, redness that flares out of nowhere, skin that just won’t settle, even though you’re “doing everything right”?

This usually isn’t a skincare issue. It’s a gut one.

When digestion is sluggish, hormones don’t clear properly, inflammation stays switched on, and your skin often becomes the first place it shows up. No amount of serums can override what’s happening internally.

Supporting the gut changes the conversation. Digestion improves, inflammation settles, hormones rebalance, and suddenly, skin starts responding again.

If this sounds familiar, you’re not imagining it. And you’re definitely not alone.

Save this for the next time your skin starts acting up 🤍

Trying to “balance your hormones” with food alone can feel exhausting. 😅

Especially when you’re eating well, cutting things out, adding the supplements… and still not feeling right.

Here’s the part that often gets missed:
Hormones don’t work in isolation.

Blood sugar stability, adequate protein and fibre, key nutrients, stress load, nervous system support and consistency all play a role in how your hormones behave, especially in perimenopause.

That’s why in clinic, we don’t just look at what you’re eating.

We look at how regularly you’re eating, whether you’re under-fuelling, how your body is coping with stress, and whether the foundations are actually being met.

Because doing “all the right things” without supporting the right systems can keep you stuck.

Hormone balance isn’t about restriction or perfection.

It’s about safety, consistency and supporting your body in the right order.

✨ Save this for when things feel confusing, and you’re not sure what to focus on next.

If bloating feels like your “normal” right now, you’re not alone.

So many people come to us feeling uncomfortable in their body day after day, assuming it’s just how things are. But more often than not, it’s a sign the digestive system is under strain and needs support, not restriction.

With the right food, targeted detox support and clear guidance, things can change quickly. Less discomfort. More ease. A body that feels calmer and lighter again.

Spring is the ideal time to reset what’s built up over winter and support your digestion heading into summer.

Our 3-Week Guided Detox is designed to do exactly that, gently and sustainably.

Our Story

Bodhi Cleanse is South Australia's only organic, cold pressed juice cleanse. 6 fresh, cold pressed juices designed with your health in mind by renowned Adelaide Naturopath Karina Pike, delivered to your door daily for the length of your cleanse. We endeavour to use only organic fruits and vegetables, because why put toxins in when we are trying to clear them out? Organically grown fruits and vegetables tend to have higher amounts of precious vitamins and minerals and when these juices are your only source of nutrients, they need to be packed full! If we can’t source something organically or it is in short supply we will keep you informed. Quality is also the reason we use a cold pressed juicer, because friction causes heat and heat damages precious vitamins. Quality ingredients and quality equipment leads to the highest quality juices and we truly believe you deserve nothing but the best. You will also notice we use glass bottles; this is again because your health and the health of our earth is our priority. Plastic bottles contain nasty BPA, a synthetic compound with hormone like properties and linked with cancer. We recycle our bottles so if you would like to get yourself a $10 voucher towards your next cleanse (or pay it forward and give it to a friend) all you have to do is leave your clean, empty bottles by the front door when we txt you to say we are delivering to your area. Simple! We also believe that cleansing should happen from the inside out, whole body. For this reason you will receive a fibre blend to be taken daily, and those opting for a 3 or 5 day clanse will recieve a skin brush and detoxifying bath salts
