2016

While I’m not really one to jump on Instagram trends, I think I’m in a reflective space, so this 2016 trend got me.
Yet, after reviewing my camera roll, & lack of photos of myself, it really shows how much I prefer to be behind the camera rather than in front 😆

2016 Caroline was finishing off a naturopathy degree, still working part time as a RN in IVF, had two small kids and squished alot in. Passionate about learning; and the holistic & grounded approach that natural health offers. But still so much to learn.
Treasured friendships & connecting with besties no matter where in the globe (still do).
And really loved to squeeze in as much travel as possible. That part definitely hasn’t changed 🌎

Sage Naturopathics was not even born yet (bring on 2017 😍).
And so much growth in the health space was still yet to come, both professionally & personally.

Taking little pauses to reflect on growth are super important for celebrating progress & some self compassion, but also so is not dwelling too long on the past. And being present in the now.

On that note… back to work! ✌🏼

If you’re trying to conceive in 2026, don’t skip on kiwifruit 🥝

This humble little fruit is one of the most underrated fertility foods — and it supports BOTH egg health and s***m quality.

Here’s why I get my clients to include 1–2 kiwifruit daily:
🥝 A vitamin C powerhouse: Kiwifruit contains more vitamin C than oranges.
Vitamin C protects s***m DNA from oxidative damage, improves motility, and supports healthy morphology.

For eggs, vitamin C helps protect follicles from oxidative stress, a key driver of poor egg quality.

🥝 Supports collagen + follicular fluid
Vitamin C is essential for collagen production, which plays a role in healthy ovarian tissue and the quality of cervical mucus (hello better fertility signs).

🥝Gut-health boosting
Packed with fibre + polyphenols, kiwifruit helps feed beneficial gut bacteria, reduce inflammation, and support regular bowel movements, all of which influence hormone balance.

🥝Low glycaemic + blood sugar friendly
Unlike many fruits, kiwifruit has a gentle effect on blood sugar, helping stabilise hormones and support ovulation.

🥝Easy daily fertility habit
No supplement confusion. No overwhelm. Just a simple food-with-purpose you can add to your routine today.

Reducing your toxic load for fertility doesn’t have to feel overwhelming, it’s actually about simple swaps that support your hormones, egg quality, and overall fertility 💛

Every day we’re exposed to endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) through plastic, skincare, tap water, household products, and even our food.

Over time, these exposures can influence ovulation, s***m quality, thyroid function and inflammation.

One thing I'm always educating my clients on in clinic?
Small, consistent changes make a big difference.

Here are a few easy places to start:
➡️ Swap plastic for glass food storage
➡️ Choose low-tox, fragrance-free personal care
➡️ Filter your drinking water
➡️ Prioritise organic produce for the Dirty Dozen

Want help putting this into action in a simple, non-overwhelming way?

I’ve created The Fertility Supermarket Scavenger Hunt — a free, practical guide you can take shopping to help you choose foods that truly support your hormones, egg quality, s***m health, and long-term fertility.

A common question I get asked by my fertility clients 'What foods should I be avoiding if I'm trying to conceive'...

Here's my list of a few “Fertility Foes” to keep an eye on, foods that may interfere with hormone balance, ovulation, and overall reproductive wellbeing.

❌ Processed foods
High in trans fats, refined sugars and additives, which may increase inflammation and disrupt hormones.

❌ Excess caffeine & alcohol
Both can impact ovulation and hormonal balance, so aim to reduce or avoid.

❌ Processed meats
Deli meats, salami, and bacon often contain additives that may affect hormone health.

❌ Sugary drinks & fruit juices
Cause blood sugar spikes, something we want to stabilise for optimal egg quality and cycle health.

❌ High-mercury fish
Avoid shark, swordfish, and king mackerel during preconception and pregnancy.

Fertility nutrition isn’t about perfection.

It’s about choosing foods that support your hormonal health, egg quality, and overall vitality. Small shifts make a big difference.

S***m quality has been declining for decades, and new research continues to show that environmental toxins may be a major driver.

A recent review highlighted the link between endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs), oxidative stress, and reduced s***m health.

These chemicals are found in everyday items like plastics, pesticides, fragrances, cleaning products, and even our water.

The research shows these exposures can:
• reduce s***m count
• lower motility
• impair morphology
• increase DNA fragmentation
• disrupt testosterone
• affect testicular function

And what’s even more concerning...
exposure begins before birth and continues throughout life.

You CAN lower your toxic load with simple, sustainable changes, and it genuinely matters when preparing for pregnancy.

Healing takes time.
Hope takes courage.
And your body is doing more than you think, even on the days it feels like nothing is happening. 💗

Every cycle, your body is working.
Every small change you make matters.
Every step forward, even the invisible ones, counts.

You don’t have to rush.
You don’t have to be perfect.
You don’t have to lose hope.

Your journey is unfolding in its own timing,
and you’re allowed to trust the process, gently, imperfectly, fully.

Thinking of you 🫶🏼

Even in seasons of stillness, uncertainty, or struggle, hope quietly holds us. 🌱

It may not always be loud or obvious, but it’s there… working beneath the surface, waiting for the right moment to bloom.

This is your gentle reminder that resilience often begins with a whisper of hope. You are growing, even when it feels hard.

💚 Take what you need today, and let the rest soften.

If you’re hoping to conceive in 2026, your preconception window has officially opened 👏🏼

S***m and egg development happen months before conception, which means what you do now matters more than most people realise.

Here’s what to start now:

1️⃣ Nutrient foundations
Folate, iodine, omega-3s, choline, vitamin D - these aren’t “nice to have.” They’re non-negotiable.

2️⃣ Stabilise blood sugar
Balanced meals = better hormones, better ovulation, better egg quality.

3️⃣ Audit your environment
Plastics, perfumes, pesticides — fertility foes we can reduce.

4️⃣ Support gut health
The microbiome influences hormones, inflammation, immunity + implantation.

5️⃣ Reduce stress load
Your nervous system directly affects reproductive hormones. This is not “woo” — it’s physiology.

6️⃣ Get testing done early
Don’t wait until you’ve been trying for 12 months. Preparation is power.

December can be a beautiful season…
but it can also be a painful one.

If you’re navigating infertility, pregnancy loss, or another year of “maybe next Christmas,” the festive season can feel heavy.

This is your gentle reminder:
✨ You are allowed to excuse yourself from triggering conversations.
✨ You don’t owe anyone an update.
✨ You can say “no” to events that drain you.
✨ You are not behind.
✨ You are not broken.

And if this season feels more tender than bright, please know:
You are not alone.
You are not forgotten.
You are allowed to hold both grief and hope.

If someone you love is struggling, send this to them.

A tiny check-in can mean more than you think. 💛

Reading kind words like this truly reminds me why I do what I do 🫶
Supporting women through IVF is something I feel incredibly honoured to be part of, and I’m so grateful to have walked alongside Kate on her journey.

Together, we worked on supporting her body with herbs, nutrients, and tailored lifestyle changes, always with her unique story in mind.

Thank you, Kate, for your trust. It means the world.

PMS and PMDD are often confused, but they’re not the same. So let's take a look at the difference between the two...

🩸 PMS (Premenstrual Syndrome) affects around 20–30% of people who menstruate. It can bring symptoms like:
• Mood swings
• Bloating
• Breast tenderness
• Food cravings
• Irritability

It’s uncomfortable, but usually manageable, and most people can still function day to day.

🌪️ PMDD (Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder) affects about 3–9% and is much more intense. Symptoms can include:
• Severe mood swings
• Depression or hopelessness
• Rage or sudden anger
• Feeling out of control
• Anxiety or panic attacks
• Trouble sleeping
• Overwhelming fatigue
• Suicidal thoughts in some cases

It’s not “just bad PMS.” It can seriously impact your work, relationships, and quality of life.

PMDD is influenced by brain chemistry, genetics, stress levels, inflammation, and how your body responds to hormonal shifts 🧠

If your symptoms feel bigger than what you’ve been told is “normal,” please know you’re not overreacting, and it is worth the investigation.

Save this to revisit later and tag someone who might need this reminder too ✨
