My Aliveness: Natural Vitality

07/01/2026

As a Nutritionist it’s exciting to see US-based nutrition models shifting toward something much closer to what I’ve been teaching my whole professional life.

Healthy fats, quality protein (including animal protein), and vegetables are at the foundation and grains are taking up far less space.

I'm loving this - because fats aren’t the enemy, they're essential.

Healthy fats are required for:
• hormone production
• nervous system health
• cell membranes
• fat-soluble vitamins, especially vitamin A (retinol)

And yet, we’re still told to choose low-fat versions of foods, which almost always means more sugar, & additives to compensate for flavour and less nourishment.

In Australia, our guidelines use a pie-chart, and there’s a lot I agree with, though I still strongly question two things:
1️⃣ the ongoing push for low-fat dairy
2️⃣ the large proportion of the plate allocated to grains

Here’s why many nutrition experts are cautious about high grain intake - even whole grains:

• Gut irritation
Gluten and other grain proteins are irritating for a lot of people, often subtly. You don’t need coeliac disease to experience inflammation, bloating, fatigue, or immune activation.

• Mineral interference
Grains contain phytates, which can reduce absorption of key minerals like zinc, magnesium, iron, and calcium.

• Blood sugar load
Even whole grains spike blood sugar. In stressed, hormonally shifting bodies (hello midlife), that can mean blood sugar swings → fatigue, anxiety, cravings, and inflammation.

• In humid climates like Australia, grains are commonly treated with fungicides and pesticides during storage.

• Gram for gram, foods like eggs, meat, seafood, and dairy provide far more bioavailable nutrients than grains ever can.

This doesn’t mean grains are “bad", but it does mean they probably don’t deserve to be the star of the plate - especially for people dealing with fatigue, gut issues, hormonal shifts, or chronic stress.

I’m genuinely curious to see whether Australia will eventually follow suit and evolve its model too.

You might be here because you’ve seen Root Cause Protocol in my bio.
Or because you’re exhausted from doing “all the right things” and still not feeling like yourself.

The Root Cause Protocol is a framework I use to understand what’s happening underneath symptoms - particularly when energy, mood, digestion, sleep and hormones all start to feel off at once.

At its heart, this work is about energy.
How your body produces it.
How stress, minerals and oxidative load affect it.
And why, when energy production becomes strained, the whole system feels it.

I’m a trained Root Cause Protocol consultant, and many women find me through the RCP community looking for guidance - not more information to manage alone.

In my work, RCP forms part of the roots.
But healing rarely happens through minerals alone.

That’s why I integrate this approach with functional nutrition, nervous system support, emotional and subconscious work, and lifestyle physiology, so the body can actually use the support it’s given.

If you’ve felt that sense of “this feels relevant, but I don’t quite know why yet” - trust that.
Curiosity is often the first sign that your body is ready for deeper support.

You don’t have to figure this out on your own.

Most women have no idea this is why perimenopause feels so hard.

Your ovaries don’t just “shut down”, they hand the job over to your adrenal glands (and fat cells).

But if you’ve spent years running on stress, caffeine, and survival mode, your adrenals are already exhausted.

They’re too busy pumping out cortisol to make your s*x hormones properly.

And that’s when the hot flushes, anxiety, irritability, fatigue, and poor sleep hit harder than ever.

It’s not “just your age" or just perimenopause.

It’s your body asking for recovery.

When you start supporting your adrenals and calming your nervous system:

💛 your energy lifts

💛 your mood evens out

💛 your body finally starts to heal

I help women do exactly this inside my 1:1 Aliveness Program - using root cause healing, nutrition and subconscious rewiring work to restore balance from the inside out.

If you’re ready to start feeling calm, energised and like yourself again…

Most women I work with don’t need more information, or more things to add to their busy routine.

They need their body to feel safe again.

That starts with steady blood sugar, proper nourishment, less stimulation, better sleep, and nervous system support. Not pushing through, not overriding symptoms, not guessing.

January is the month to stop reacting and start rebuilding from the inside out.

If you’re ready to feel energised, calmer, and more like you again, and want support instead of doing this alone: clarity calls are open 🤍

Life feels overwhelming when we forget this:

We’re not separate from nature.
We are nature.
We don't just need to have more time connecting with nature (though this is an extremely effective therapy)
We need to remember that we are a part of it. Our body responds to nature, to the grounding, moist earth, to the warmth of the sun, the fresh breeze and the water that cools and soothes.

And nature doesn’t rush, perform, or hold it all together perfectly.

If your nervous system feels fried right now, that’s not a personal failing, it’s a cue to come back into rhythm.

What is the bigger picture?

Take some time to be still, and let your natural rhythms return. 🌿

I’m 46 today.

And actually, this year has been… a lot.

Some really beautiful things. Some really hard ones.

I took my younger daughter to Paris and Greece, and I still milk those memories for excitement!

I had to move house from a place I adored, and at the same time, my eldest moved out. I didn’t expect how much grief would come with that. Downsizing into somewhere that felt more iso far below what I was used to was humbling, and very emotional....

I’ve also really chosen my business this year. I’ve invested in it financially, which has meant this end-of-year stretch has been tighter than I’d like, while I wait for that investment to pay off. (Hello stress!)

I’ve completed my Masters in NLP and life coaching, and training in breathwork because my nervous system needs it… and so do the women I work with.

And in amongst all of that, I’ve kept loving the most beautiful man, fallen in love with my daughter’s new puppy, started growing herbs on the balcony, and really treasured my alternate weeks in the quiet nature of the eco village.

Midlife definitely feels different, and definitely not easy. Now I need to bententional about looking after myself.

Less pushing, more listening, more choosing from my inner knowing.

So today I’m taking a breath, feeling proud of myself, and stepping into 46 with a bit more self-trust than I had before 🤍

You’re secretly wishing you could cancel Christmas because you just don’t have the energy this year…

And that thought alone makes you feel guilty.
Because you should be excited.
You should be coping better than this.

But the truth is, your body is already running on fumes.

By Christmas, you could be:

sleeping better

waking with more energy

feeling calmer and clearer

laughing more easily instead of holding it together

Not because you pushed harder or “tried to relax”…
but because you finally addressed what’s actually draining you.

If you don’t do anything, December will blur into January —
same exhaustion, same anxiety, same “I’ll deal with it later.”

You don’t have to white-knuckle your way through this season.

🎄 Book a clarity call and let’s talk about what your body needs now — so this Christmas actually feels different.

Every process in your body depends on energy — not the “go for a run” kind, but the microscopic energy your cells make every second of every day.

When that cellular energy drops, things start to unravel.
Your digestion slows. Detox pathways clog. Hormones fall out of rhythm. Sleep and mood regulation take a hit. It’s all connected — because every organ, every system, runs on that same spark.

And what makes that spark? Minerals.
They’re your body’s spark plugs — magnesium, copper, sodium, potassium, iron (in balance). Nothing in the body is built, broken down, or repaired without them. Even your hormones depend on healthy mineral balance to be made and activated.

When those minerals fall out of balance — through stress, poor sleep, medication, processed food, overtraining, or simply modern living — energy production falters. And that’s when fatigue, anxiety, inflammation, and hormone chaos appear.

If you’ve been feeling “off” and can’t quite pin down why, it’s probably not just hormones or ageing — it’s the roots of your energy system calling for nourishment. 🌿

✨ This is where I begin with every client — supporting the body’s ability to make energy again, from the ground up.

By Christmas, you could feel better - or exactly the same.

Most women tell themselves, “I’ll deal with this after Christmas.”
But the truth is, when you’re already exhausted, inflamed, overwhelmed or emotionally stretched, the next few weeks usually make everything feel harder, not easier.

Here’s what surprises most of my clients:
When you stop guessing and start addressing the real drivers of your symptoms, things often begin to shift quickly.

Within days, many women notice small but meaningful changes like:
✨ sleeping more deeply
✨ feeling calmer and less reactive
✨ having more stable energy through the day
✨ less bloating and digestive discomfort
✨ feeling clearer and more like themselves again

These aren’t miracles.
They’re signs your nervous system is settling and your body finally has what it needs to start healing.

Your Christmas doesn’t have to feel heavy, tense, or draining.
It can feel calmer, clearer, and more supported than you expect: when you choose to get help now instead of pushing through.

If you want to feel different by Christmas, book your clarity call.
If you keep doing what you’ve been doing, you’ll get what you’ve been getting.

You don’t go from “on top of everything” to “barely holding it together” overnight.
High-functioning burnout is sneaky: the gut issues, mood crashes, anxiety spikes, the bone-deep exhaustion… they build.
Then suddenly you’re not bouncing back the way you used to.

If your symptoms are getting louder, it's time to listen.
Your body is asking for a different approach… one that actually works with your hormones, nervous system, minerals, and metabolism.

The Aliveness Program is my 10-session deep healing journey designed for women who are tired of guessing, Googling, and pushing through. We get clear on why your energy, mood, gut, and hormones are struggling, and then we rebuild your system from the inside out: minerals, metabolism, nervous system, mindset, and emotional patterns. It’s personalised, intuitive, and deeply supportive, with testing, nutrition strategy, subconscious work, and grounded coaching woven together so you feel held every step of the way. This is the work that gets you back to yourself - energised, calm, connected, and genuinely alive again.

When you work with me, we blend functional nutrition, deep emotional inquiry, subconscious healing, and mineral + cellular energy restoration into one cohesive approach.

Here’s what that means for you:
✨ Food as medicine and personalised nutrition
✨ Advanced functional testing (stool, saliva, bloods, HTMA)
✨ Mineral rebalancing to restore cellular energy
✨ Nervous system + emotional pattern work
✨ Mindset, beliefs, and burnout behaviours uncovered and shifted
✨ A therapeutic plan that reflects your entire life, not just one symptom

Because your fatigue or anxiety or hormonal chaos isn’t caused by a single thing.
It’s the result of biochemistry, lifestyle, emotions, subconscious patterns, and stress all interacting.

My job is to put those pieces together and help you heal at the true root.
