Cost of living keeps rising 💸 — but so does the cost of being unwell.

The economy won’t pause when your health crashes.
So the real investment isn’t just money…
it’s the daily decisions that keep your system resilient before things fall apart.

And if you’re already in a rough patch —
if life feels more like the end of this reel 🤍 — remember this:

The most powerful inputs are often cheap or free ☀️

Sunlight. Walking. Real connection. Stillness.
Feet on the earth 🌿
Early nights 💤
Food that hasn’t been ultra-processed or stripped of its signals 🥔🥩

Health isn’t about perfection.
It’s about reducing the load so your body can do what it’s designed to do.

You don’t have to buy everything.
But you do have to choose what you prioritise.

DEETS 👇

Waiting on my Aussie Meats order this morning, so protein is lighter on this plate, and that’s OKAY.

Not every meal needs to be protein-dominant to be stabilising.

This one leans into starch + fats to support satiety, blood sugar, and nervous system regulation.

🥔 Potatoes (purple, sweet & Dutch cream) → dependable glucose for thyroid output, adrenal stability, and energy

🧅 Buttery onions → sulfur support for bile flow and detox capacity

🥬 Cabbage & cucumber slaw → gentle fibre without irritating the gut

🥑 Avocado → potassium + fats for mineral balance

🍯 Honey + maple → liver glycogen support (especially relevant for women)

🍗 Chicken pâté → concentrated B vitamins, choline, iron

🥤 Cold-pressed pomegranate juice + a splash of ACV → polyphenols for vascular and mitochondrial support, gentle acidity to stimulate digestion and improve glucose handling

Filling ≠ high protein.
Filling = a meal your body can actually use.

(Harper had some sardines and a bit of what we had sliced up for the little cutie 🥰)

“I eat well… but I’m exhausted.” 🔥

If that’s you, this isn’t a willpower issue.

It’s not a calorie issue either.

Food only becomes energy once it can enter the cell 🧬

And for a lot of people, fuel is present — but blocked.

Blood sugar instability, insulin resistance, under-fueling, toxins, inflammation…

All of these create a traffic jam between food and ATP ⚡

At How It Heals, we look at whether fuel is actually accessible and usable, not just whether you’re “doing everything right.”

Energy comes back when physiology is allowed to work.

Always tired?

04/02/2026

❤️‍🩹 Chronic fatigue, brain fog, poor recovery?

🫁 That’s often low tissue oxygenation, not laziness or lack of fitness.

Fix the system → energy follows.

At How It Heals, we don’t chase fatigue with stimulants ☕️ or generic advice.

🔎 We look at why oxygen isn’t being used properly in the first place.

That means assessing:

🧠 nervous system load and recovery state

🫁 breathing chemistry and CO₂ tolerance

🩸 blood flow, iron handling, and mitochondrial demand

🧬 gut, immune, and inflammatory signals that quietly block oxygen delivery

Then we rebuild the system; not with one tool, but by reducing the hidden stressors that keep oxygen locked out of tissues and energy stuck on standby.

Most people don’t need more motivation.

🔥 They need better physiology.

“Wow it’s surprising how fast that actually fixed the problem.”

^^^ We hear this from clients in our clinic EVERYday.

On the other hand, we speak to people EVERday who tell us they’ve been trying EVERYTHING for the past 20 years and they’re no better

WHY DO WE GET THESE RESULTS?

We understand that the long game is the short game.

We know that the only way out is through.

We know that the body has a strict rule of biological non-negotiables

We know that if you tick these off, one by one, you WILL get better health.

Meet Melissa 🤍

Melissa works with people who’ve done everything they were told to do…

clean diets, supplements, protocols, rest, pushing harder…

and are still living with symptoms no one can properly explain.

Gut issues. Sensitivities.

Immune and inflammatory problems.

Burnout & fatigue.

Mood changes.

A body that doesn’t respond the way it should, even when the tests say it’s “fine.”

Melissa doesn’t see symptoms as random or inconvenient.

She sees them as signals: clear information about how

the body,

brain,

metabolism

and nervous system are actually coping.

Her work is about connecting the dots most people never get helped to connect.

Helping clients finally understand why their body is behaving the way it is, so change feels obvious, achievable, and sustainable, not overwhelming or short-lived.

If you’ve ever thought,

“Something is clearly wrong, but I can’t get real answers,”

this is your sign.

READ THE CAPTION
👇👇👇👇👇👇

Just ate a plate with cabbage 🥬, beans 🫘 and a heap of fat.

Back in the day this would have bloated me SO badly. Heck, even just thinking about eating this would bloat me.

What happened?

I cut out anything that caused bloating and only ate very nutritious, easy to digest foods for over 2 years straight.

I avoided fibre. I avoided any grains. I avoided dairy. I avoided all processed food (still do)

Is that a longterm diet???

People 100% would have thought I was being restrictive and extreme.

But now I can eat just about anything and I’m fine. Because I gave my gut the time and space to heal.

AND MOST IMPORTANTLY

I didn’t let people gaslight me into thinking my restriction was the issue. No no… my restriction was the symptom of the MANY issues in our modern day food system and lives in general.

I had to restrict to let myself heal. And I’ll continue to only eat things that make me feel good. Because… why wouldn’t I 😅
