Not all omega-3s do the same job.

DHA is the main structural fat in the brain. It’s what helps brain cells communicate clearly and efficiently. EPA plays more of a support role, especially around inflammation and mood. ALA, the plant-based form, has benefits too, but only a small amount converts into DHA.

That doesn’t mean plant sources are useless. It just means understanding what your body can and can’t convert helps you make better choices, especially if brain fog or low mood are ongoing.

Sometimes clarity starts with knowing which nutrients actually reach the brain.

Kerry recommends trying canned salmon with the bones. It may look a bit intimidating at first, but when mixed into a salad or pasta, the bones soften and almost disappear. It’s an easy and affordable way to get omega-3s, collagen, and calcium in every meal.

Sometimes the best nutrition comes from getting past the mental block.

Food is always the foundation.
But sometimes it’s not enough.

Supplementation can be useful if omega-3-rich foods rarely make it onto your plate, if stress has been ongoing, or if anxiety, low mood, or brain fog persist despite healthy habits.

More isn’t better here. Choosing a quality supplement and taking it consistently often supports the nervous system more than high doses taken inconsistently.

If your mind feels busy, foggy, or easily overwhelmed, it may be time to look beyond stress or sleep alone.

Brain health and hormone health are closely connected, and omega-3 is often part of that picture, but never the whole story.

If you’d like support understanding what your brain and body may need right now, Kerry offers a free Health Reset call where you can talk things through and get clear next steps.

Sometimes clarity starts with a simple conversation.

Kerry often encourages adding more fatty fish into meals, especially during times of hormonal changes or ongoing life stress. Foods like salmon and mackerel offer nourishing fats and nutrients that support the body from the inside out, including skin and bone health.

Whether fresh or canned, choosing good-quality, wild-caught options makes this a simple and practical habit to maintain. Small food choices like this can play a supportive role in feeling more balanced over time.

Is fatty fish part of your regular meals right now?

Anxiety isn’t just “in your head.”
It’s often linked to inflammation and an overworked nervous system.

Omega-3s support calming pathways in the brain and help reduce inflammatory signals that keep the body stuck in alert mode. They don’t switch anxiety off, but they can help soften the constant edge many people live with.

Regular intake over weeks tends to be more supportive than taking it only when anxiety spikes. For some, this looks like feeling slightly steadier, not suddenly anxiety-free.

Your brain is mostly fat.
Not in a bad way. In a this-is-how-it-works way.

Omega-3s help keep brain cells flexible so messages can move smoothly. That matters for memory, focus, and emotional regulation. When these fats are low, the brain can feel slower, noisier, or harder to settle.

If you’re feeling foggy or flat, starting with food can be a gentle first step. Oily fish a couple of times a week, or daily plant sources like chia and flax, can support brain function over time. Many people notice their thinking feels clearer when these become regular.

Some nights dinner looks like this 🍨

My nice cream recipe is laughably simple and dangerously good:
• 1 cup pawpaw (aka papaya)
• 1 frozen banana
• 1 scoop salted caramel collagen powder
—or—
• 2 tsp cacao + 1 tsp honey + 1 scoop plain collagen

Blend it all up in the Thermomix or food processor and boom: instant ice cream. No churn, no fuss, no regrets.

It’s the perfect post-dinner treat on a warm night… or the dinner itself when life feels chaotic and it’s too hot to care.

And yes, it’s always served in a mug. This became compulsory when I moved into a house with no plates—just mugs. Now it’s a thing. Me and my son eat all desserts this way.

Highly recommend mug desserts and low expectations of adulthood ✨

Struggling to build muscle, even when you’re training hard and eating the right things?

For men, muscle gain is a quiet barometer of overall health — especially gut health.
Protein is one of the hardest nutrients for the body to digest when the gut isn’t functioning well. You need strong stomach acid, active digestive enzymes, and a healthy gut lining to break protein down and actually absorb it.

If your gains have stalled, it may not be your effort… it might be your digestion.

Do you also experience any of these?

• Bloating
• Constipation or diarrhoea
• Gas or burping
• Discomfort after meals
• Reflux or a heavy stomach

These are all signs your gut could use some support.

09/12/2025

Your GP says your gut tests are normal…
but you’re still bloated, reacting to everything, or running to the toilet?

That’s because standard tests check for disease — not function.

Functional assessment picks up the patterns that cause symptoms long before disease shows up.
There’s always a reason. And we can find it.

If you don’t feel fine, it’s time to dig deeper.

🧠 Feeling foggy, forgetful, or just not as sharp lately?
Brain fog isn’t a personality flaw — it’s often a sign your body is running on empty.

Chronic stress.
Gut imbalance.
Poor sleep.
Blood sugar swings.
Nutrient depletion.
👉 All of these can dull your focus, motivation, and mental clarity.

The good news?
When we stabilise the nervous system and rebuild your energy stores, clarity often returns.

I’m Kerry, a qualified naturopath, and I help women regain their energy, mental sharpness, and confidence in their day-to-day life.
