Thank you ✨

To all of my clients for choosing me to guide them on their journey.

I strongly believe that it is important to choose a practitioner that you feel safe, comfortable, seen and heard around. Someone that you trust along the way, that has your best interests at heart.

I love what I do and I love celebrating all the wins when we achieve those goals, no matter how big or small.

Thanks for following and stopping to read posts, tips and tricks.

I’ll be taking a little break to spend time with my family but will be back ready to slay goals with you in mid January 2026💫

Until then wishing everyone a safe, blessed Christmas a happy, healthy New year!

Mon xx

You get to choose where you invest your $$$

Choose YOU over what society says we NEED, to be trendy, fashionable, popular or attractive.

Choose your health over a trendy new bag.

Garbage in garbage out.

Choose to put the best fuel in to get the best fuel (energy) in return.

Gilbert’s syndrome (zheel - bayr) is a genetically inherited liver condition and in medical terms is considered harmless.
Whoever for some people it may affect how the body breaks down certain medications and can partially be the reason for symptoms discussed in my slides.

In clinic when I review my clients blood tests results if Bilirubin is elevated above the normal level and can indicate Gilbert’s syndrome and gives me valuable insight regarding the Liver’s methylation pathways and the extra support it needs.

If you would like to know more about how you can support your liver naturally I’d love to hear from you.

Do yourself a favour, do your own research 🧐

Don’t believe everything you are told.

📍Speak with a holistic medicine practitioner to determine what is your best option but it won’t be margarine.

Good quality extra virgin olive oil, avocado or nut butter are all alternatives and much better for you or if you can tolerate dairy then choose butter.

Don’t fall for the marketing strategies, if you have an issue with cholesterol, find out why? Is your liver under load and not excreting excess efficiently, if so work on that, don’t expect a tub of margarine with added phytosterols to do it for you.
Fact is margarine goes through a process called hydrogenation which creates harmful trans fats 👉🏼 trans fats raise LDL’s (BAD cholesterol) and lower LDL (good cholesterol)
Correct me if I’m wrong but that sounds a little counter productive🤔

If a product needs to have that many additives, what was it to begin with?

Real food has naturally occurring vitamins, nutrients and amino acids, there is no need to add it because it’s there naturally the way nature intended it for you.

This maybe an unpopular opinion but i believe it is a healthy one.t

The mucous loving bacteria in your gut

Then why is it all about Lactobacillus and Acidophilus?

Here is Aus the market is flooded with information on good bacteria. Sadly this good guy gets about its incredibly important job with little to no credit.

The human body is inhabited by trillions of microorganisms, collectively known as our microbiome. Researchers have known about A. muciniphila and its association with good gut health for many years.

Akkermansia is novel probiotic strain that was discovered in a Netherlands university in 2004.

Muciniphila translating to “preferring mucin” is perfect for this keystone species because it feeds off the slimmy mucus intestinal barrier for its energy. Therefore playing a vital role in maintaining but barrier integrity. Maintaining the tight junctions between the epithelial cells.

Low levels of this species come about when there is a compromised gut barrier, thin mucus layer, repeated use of antibiotics and a western diet that is low in fibre and Polyphenols.

Although this strain is not found in our foods we can improve levels by eating foods rich in prebiotic sources.

Pomegranate
Cranberry
Berries (red and blue)
Apples
Jerusalem artichoke
Garlic
Onions
Chicory root
Green tea

In return of rebuilding and refuelling this anaerobic strain it in turn produces short chain fatty acids like acetate and butyrate.

Protecting us from

Pathogens
Hormone and metabolic dysfunction
Depression

Just to name a few.

Fortunately now this along with many other good bugs can identified in Functional stool testing, giving us very valuable information and insights into the health of our bodies.

The Iris Collarette, just a thing of beauty

I always look to this zone first when assessing an iris. Not only as a gauge of intestinal markers but to get an idea of the nervous system.

This zone separates the stomach and intestinal zone from the organ,tissues and glandular zones. It also signifies the union between the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system.

Looking closely at the shape, positioning, quality and the fibre structure there is much to be learned.

Wether it has been many years since your last assessment or the last 12months it can be mind blowing to my clients just how much and quickly I can build a picture of the familial history and current health condition. As well as guiding them on a better path then what could be their future health and pathways to DIS ease.

Appointment still available for November, reach out to me via my website if you’d like to know more.

Give the healthy hack a try👇🏼

Anxiety and panic attack’s are becoming more and more common and can be quite distressing depending on how they manifest in you.

There is no one size fits all and often there will be a handful of signs hit all at once:

🫨 Racing Heat beat
🫨 Dizziness or headaches
🫨 Trembling or clammy hands
🫨 Nausea
🫨 Tight discomfort across the chest
🫨 Restlessness or irritability
🫨 Feeling breathless

The Vagus nerve is a key player in our relaxation system (parasympathetic nervous system) who controls our digestion, heart rate and stress response.

When you feel any of these read flags try cold exposure directly under the armpits. This could be ice cubes, cold compress or a small ice brick.

Studies have shown that cold exposure under the armpit stimulates the nerves endings connected to the Vagus nerve and encourages the heart rate to slow down and the body to relax.

There are lots of natural ways to relax the nervous system ~ Breath work, meditation, journaling a anxiolytic herbs but for now give a cold compress a try.

Eradication without side effects. No brainer

With the studies proving that Nigella is effective in the treatment of non ulcerative Pylori vs triple therapy and a ppi I know what I choose.

The active, Thymoquionine has a potent anti bacterial and anti microbial factor. ’Thymoquinone demonstrates significant antibacterial activity and has been shown to prevent bacterial adhesion, inhibit the growth of pathogenic biofilms’ Pub med.

With so many other other key note indications

🪻Antiallergic
🪻 Anti-diabetic
🪻Anti-fungal
🪻Antihypertensive
🪻Cardioprotective
🪻Carminative
🪻Hypoglycaemic
🪻Nervine tonic

With so many beautiful benefits and so many incredible herbs with anti microbial benefits the choice of a natural treatment is a no brainer for me.
