I N T E R A C T I O N S ❌

So many people are doing the right thing for their health and still not feeling better. Often it is not what you are taking, but more so it is how things interact with one another.

There have been sooooo many times I have chatted with people over the last few years and the person in front of me has not been told by their doctor that they need to take their meds away from certain supps or other meds, and same goes for herbs and other nutrients.

Supplements, herbs and medications can compete, enhance or interfere with one another instantly or over time.

This post is not about putting fear in you.
It is about informing you of some common interactions for you to be mindful of. There are also quite a few more but I didn’t want to write any essay! 😂

So, I suggest saving this post for future reference or share it with someone who takes supplements daily.

If you ever wonder whether something you are taking is truly supportive for your body, that is a conversation worth having with your naturopath.

Well, you asked and I have delivered.

The response to my stories last night was huge, with so many of you wanting more information around deodorants for boys, teens, men, and anyone who prefers a more masculine scented, low tox option.

This post breaks down what many commercial deodorants can do to a developing body, particularly in relation to testosterone signalling, hormone balance, and other key systems involved in growth and maturation.

Again, this is not about fear or perfection by any means, it’s about awareness, choice, and supporting bodies through critical stages of development.

If there are other brands you know and love, I’d genuinely love to hear them in the comments. And if you or someone you care about has made the switch, tell us how you found it.

Now… let’s see how a house full of boys responds to the swap over. Wish me luck.

Tests don’t lie….Blood tests are incredibly useful, they take the guesswork out of the equation, and they don’t care how “healthy” you think you are. They give us data. And data matters.

But bloods are also just a snapshot in time. They show us what your body looked like on that day, under those conditions, with that sleep, stress load, diet, life season and medication mix.

They are not a permanent verdict on your health.

If you’re experiencing ongoing symptoms, complex health issues, or something that just doesn’t feel right, there are many more layers we can explore beyond basic bloods. Testing will always guide my care for you, but they are not an absolute.

I wanted to share these particular basic bloods for the next time you are at your GPs, or you have been thinking about getting some basic bloods done.

There are many of you that choose not to see a GP, and in those cases naturopaths can order for you privately, or, you can use iMedical, iScreen or instant scripts.

And as a side note, please do not try to interpret your own bloods results as they should be interpreted in the context of your health picture.

Yes, it’s the new year but yes, you are actually the same human. And honestly, I’m not here for the “new year, new you, even as a type A, box checking person that I am. Pressure that makes people feel broken by January 15 or before is not my vibe tbh.

Mental health doesn’t improve because you bought a journal, drank green juice, or suddenly became a morning person when you have always gone to bed at 11:30pm

It improves when life feels safer, steadier, and more enjoyable. These five tips aren’t flashy. They’re not trendy even but they do change how your brain copes with stress, mood, and overwhelm. Think less optimisation, more sustainability. Less fixing yourself, more supporting yourself.

Come back to this post on the days motivation disappears. Save it if you want. Honestly, if you stick to one or more of these this year. You may just experience a whole different year to the last.

PS- my nerdy, stat reading self needed to share…. Connection and community has been shown in clinical trials now to be the best for health outcomes above all else. X

I see you… yes you, the one with broken sleep…

Did you know, the more research that pops up on sleep and mood regulation, the clearer it has become that the quality of your sleep carries more weight than simply clocking up the hours. This does not mean four hours is enough, it means fragmented, restless sleep does far more harm than slightly shorter but restorative sleep.

Consistent routines, light exposure, nervous system downshifting, and sleep hygiene determine whether the brain actually restores, regulates emotion, and builds resilience overnight.

So if you are feeling pretty awful in the mornings, waking up like a zombie and emotional and less resilient throughout the day, maybe it’s time we had a chat about addressing your sleep patterns and quality.

There are so many herbs, nutrients and tools we can use to support you. 💛

Describe in one word what is your theme, or state of being for this year ahead?

I’ll go first…..

✨ALIGNMENT✨

Alignment for me, is choosing to live, work, love and rest in a way that feels honest to who I am, where my values, nervous system and direction are no longer pulling against each other, but finally moving together. Only what makes me happy.. happiness and health are what matters for me right now.

How about you? ✨💛

I need to be real with you, I don’t like talking about “weight loss”, but the topic has been popping up everywhereeeeeee, In times it can feel shallow, overdone, and often damaging. But what I do love is sharing the science that helps people understand their bodies with compassion instead of criticism!

Here’s the truth: your fat cells play a huge role in how your body stores and protects energy. If you’ve ever felt like your body was fighting you, holding on no matter what you try, or refusing to put weight on despite eating more you’re not imagining it. That’s biology, not a lack of discipline.

This is why guilt and shame have no place in health. Your body isn’t broken; it’s protective, adaptive, and incredibly clever.

The more we understand this, the more we can focus on real health: strength, energy, sleep, mood, and self-trust, not just numbers on a scale.

Let me know in the comments if you knew this information as I truely have not heard many professionals chat about it. And when it comes down to it, the maintenance is the most important part if they are on a weight gain/loss journey.

Do we all love a board game night? Or not your style? C’mon are you the:

Competitive one?
Easy going one?
Strategist?
Bantering one?
Cheater cheater pumpkin eater?
Sore loser? 🙈

Board game nights aren’t just hilarious (if you get a good one) they’re therapy for your brain!

Research does show they can reduce stress, ease loneliness, and even strengthen those neural pathways through strategic thinking and social connection. And….peeps that play regularly have a 15% lower risk of developing dementia.

Sooo… who’s coming over for game night at mine? Bring snacks, good vibes, and no cheaters.

On that note, drop your all-time favourites below! Let’s build brains and memories together 😂 I will not let perimenopause get me.

The hot topic at the moment isn’t it! 💊

I was lucky enough to sit and listen to Dr Beth Steels Masterclass last week. What a world of knowledge she has under her belt.

There really is a lot of chatter about vitamin B6 lately, and it’s not without reason. While many think toxicity is simply about taking “too much,” the truth is often more complex.

It’s not always the dose that’s the issue, it’s how YOUR body processes, stores, and clears B6. Genetics, gut health, other nutrient levels, liver and kidney function can all play a role in whether B6 builds up or is used effectively.

This isn’t about fear, it’s about awareness. The conversation is growing, and that’s a good thing, because it means we can personalise health advice instead of relying on a one size fits all.
