When people tell me they still notice discomfort when talking about menstrual cycles. That men don’t want to know about their mood and why it changes. I feel even more grateful that there are men like mine.

Women’s heath is our futures health. Let’s celebrate the men that make it safe for us, that care for us, that lead 💙

You’re a woman who knows you want to conceive one day, maybe not yet, but you often wonder “Will I be able too?” “Will my gut issues/V@ginal issues, stress, impact my ability to conceive?” “How will I know where to start on preconception care?”

The research shows us that gut health, vaginal microbiome health, stress, nutrient status, body composition are all incredibly important for conception, pregnancy and babies health.

If you are looking for confidence in your ability to conceive. If you want to resolve those gut issues before trying to conceive. If you want to understand your cycle and get a personalised plan for 3, 6, 12 months before trying to conceive. DM me ‘REBUILD’ to find out how.

I’ve been thinking a lot about the ache of invisible illness lately.

The search for a label, a diagnosis, so you can define what people think is in your head.

The desperation for the results, bloods, scans, tests, to show something so bad that it validates your pain.

The constant internal criticisms of ‘maybe it’s not that bad’ ‘maybe it is in my head’ ‘maybe this is normal’.

The desire to know if saying yes to something in a months time will mean cancelling last minute because you never know when the pain will take over.

The realisation that your friend’s group is so small because you’ve given up telling anyone why you cconstantly cancel, so you are no longer invited to anything.

The labels you and others have placed on yourself, ‘lazy’ ‘antisocial’ ‘snob’ ‘shy’.

The wondering if one day the desire to create life will be impacted by the pain.

I know why your labels help you, but I also see when they start to inhibit your healing ❤️‍🩹 The search for validation means nothing without the validation you can give yourself. Your life was not meant to be lived for anyone else. So the pain is a reminder to look after you, to stop living someone else’s values. The journey will mean more then any diagnosis, any magic pill, and because of it, you will set the foundations for growing life better then most.

Hormones, hormones, hormones. Good. Bad. Imbalanced. Not an issue. So many takes.
Hormones are how our systems communicate. An input - a messenger - a response (very oversimplified). But this is important because so many people are describing hormone imbalances as if it’s the problem we need to rage war on (sorry my perimenopause friends). But it has to start somewhere and it doesn’t start with your hormones. Yes, feedback systems stop working such as in the case with diabetes and the hormone insulin. And cortisol and stress. But these aren’t reasons to attack (for lack of a better word) the hormones. This is where we check ourselves and the environment we are creating for these messengers.

Could you have a hormone issue? Sure. But it didn’t start with your hormones.

What’s your take? 👇

Your bleed is not the star of the menstrual cycle show 💫 It is ovulation ✨ But just because you have a regular bleed, does not mean you are ovulating. Remember this if you are taking the OCP because that bleed is not true menstruation.

Ovulation being the star of the show leads to the rise in progesterone, which is pro-gestation, preparation for a healthy pregnancy, but if pregnancy is not your goal, progesterone is also known as a calming hormone, supporting mood in the luteal phase. So if not present or low, estrogen becomes relatively high, estrogen builds up the endometrial lining, which in excess can cause heavy bleeds, sore breasts, water retention and mood changes. So what I’m trying to say is, ovulation is important, and even if you aren’t trying to conceive, which is why I don’t believe contraceptives are the answer to your symptoms.

If you want to understand what your body actually needs before trying to conceive comment ‘REBUILD’

My beliefs around success and doing it all as a woman has drastically changed over the last couple of years. I’m a woman who wants it all. But I’m now humble enough to admit my nervous system cannot contain it all at once.

This is something I see daily in clinic, in women. We have fought for the rights to do and speak. And now we have landed in a place where we can. But should we?

Have we not just placed another load of woman’s backs? Have we not just made it harder for our nervous systems to conceive?

A women’s health determines her fertility. Not from when she wants to start trying but from birth. I’m putting together a free masterclass on all the impacts to women’s health that support healthy conception. Comment ‘REBUILD’ to be the first to find out.

I truly do think women can do it all. But doing it all at once only leads to burn out, hormone issues, weight issues, thyroid issues and autoimmune conditions.

I understand the desire for a traditional roles where each partner takes on the duties of either income or raising children, if only it was this simple in this modern world. If only it was always as straight forward and didn’t come with the risks of women being left with no income and no security, trust me I get the grey area in this conversation. But I get it. At some point women realise that running a house and a business and trying to have optimal health, something has to give. I don’t think the answer is traditional roles for everyone, but I do think this tells us how we come to a point in our life where we realise we need support, maybe we can do it all, but we shouldn’t have too. We deserve the support either at home or at work or by taking the initiative to change your health to be able to manage the stressors we juggle.

I find it so intriguing the habits and lifestyle we find to be our normal and never question it. I can honestly share this because you have no idea the life I once lived to get to this point. My old self laughing at my need for dimmed lights at night and home cooked meals.

You never have to subscribe to anything, even your old habits and beliefs, you get to choose to change. Habits. Beliefs. Stories. Decisions.

Also it is a privilege I get to make these decisions but it’s not from luck. It came with one small decision at a time.

Yes we talk about intimate health here because it is no longer taboo, these symptoms are no longer being kept behind closed doors where we don’t talk about them, women’s health is intimate health and we will talk about them 🔈

Thrush / BV and other v@ginal health concerns aren’t generally brought up in clinic unless asked, and I will ask, because your thrush symptoms are linked to your whole health, hormones, gut health and of course mental health.

There are so many options for this condition that don’t rely on over the counter anti fungals. This is truly where natural medicine shines, because it’s a condition women don’t have any answers too, past continuous medication of it is reoccurring.

If you are experiencing thrush or v@ginal symptoms please reach out, if you aren’t sure, I have discovery calls available before committing to an initial consultation.

I will also be going deeper into these intimate conditions over the next few months for those on my mailing list, add yourself via the link in my bio. 📩

Endometriosis is finally getting more research and air time, and it’s so great to see as a women’s health naturopath. But being a part of endo support groups and women’s health groups I still see so much information that is really doing such a great disservice to women with this condition.

This is a complex condition with multiple causes and contributions. But this does not mean hopeless, it means that if you truly want to find relief and support you will need an individualised approach by a practitioner that takes into consideration all areas of YOUR health. AND for the appropriate time it takes to support a complex, multi factorial condition. Why? Because eating a ‘healthy’ diet is not enough. All the pictured systems (and more) need to be taken into consideration to YOUR case, because you are an individual and will have drivers that are individual to you. So when reaching out to a support group to tell you if a hysterectomy is the only option, please know there are people who specialise in this space to teach you how and what to do for YOU to find the right support and relief. Maybe that is a hysterectomy but I truly hope it’s not the first and only option for you.

Yes I’m extremely passionate about this as a women’s health naturopath.
