We’re never really taught how our WHOLE cycle works and honestly, I wish schools covered more than just the bleed. 🩸

I mean... how many times have I used geometry since leaving school...zero 😮‍💨

But the truth is when you start understanding your cycle (and working with it instead of against it, everything changes. Your energy, moods, cravings, bloating even your confidence. 🤩

If you’re fed up of dreading your period every month and want to actually feel balanced, calm and in control, comment HELP 🤎

Talking to the camera is definitely a LEARNED skill 😂🤦‍♀️….

And trying to film education content with a cute (but loud 📣) one year old has its added challenges. But I think it totally makes for a good gag reel — Enjoy! 🤭

Happy Sunday all! It’s been a big week for us this week, lots of restless nights and unexpected outings and an Easter holiday coming up. That means it’s time to clean out the fridge and eat out way through the leftovers before we jump in the car for our week away!

In this week’s meal prep you’ll be seeing a few repeats of lunches and snacks (I only made the chicken & liver meatballs yesterday! 🙈) as well as a litre prep for some road trip snacks!

Here’s hoping you have a wonderful Easter break with family and some good choc (keep an eye out for my healthy Easter choc post next week!)

Happy prepping 😘 xx

I promise you, you are most likely not eating too much, you’re eating too LITTLE! 🤯

Yes, you heard it here first. Time and time again in clinic I run into busy mums too wired and tired running around, stressed and craving a list of simple carbs and sweet caffeinated fixes. 🥯☕️
The common thread — they’re not eating enough for optimum cellular energy so their brain switches to seeking out quick fixes!

Sure it works in the moment, but your blood sugar levels drastically effects your brain chemistry and cravings. Long term this leaves you stressed out, quick to snap 😡 and burnt out.

So make sure you up those healthy fats and healthy protein sources at every meal.

And if you wanna find out more, give me a call 😉

If week 1 felt good… you’re going to love this one 🤍

Week 2 of My Meal Plan + Grocery List is here — and this is where things start to feel easier.

Less decision fatigue.
More structure.
More meals that actually fuel you (instead of leaving you reaching for snacks at 3pm).

It also features a choc-strawberry tea cake recipe that I’ve been dying to make for ages! Its base uses greek yoghurt and wholemeal spelt as its base. My kids are quiet late afternoon nappers so when they wake up they’re usually starving and can’t quite make it to dinner time — so here’s hoping it nips those hangries in the bud! 🤞

Save this for your next grocery shop, and come back to it during the week when you need a reset ✨

If you’ve ever felt completely overwhelmed by, my bestie, the nutrient dense liver — this is for you 😘

Because liver isn’t just “old-school nutrition”… it’s one of the most powerful ways to deeply support your body when you’re feeling:
〰️ constantly tired
〰️ hormonally out of sync
〰️ dealing with breakouts, PMS or heavy periods
〰️ or just not quite like yourself

Liver is rich in bioavailable iron, vitamin A, B12 and key nutrients that support:
• steady, grounded energy (no more running on empty)
• hormone production + detox pathways
• skin health + repair
• nervous system support (hello calmer mood 🧘‍♀️)

But I get it… preparing it can feel intense.

This is how I do it: 👇
Cut into small pieces, freeze, and you can easily add small amounts into meals without the overwhelm (or strong taste).

Think of it as supporting your body in the background — simple, doable, and incredibly effective.

Real honest food. Real deep nourishment.

Follow along for more ways to feel fuelled, steady and supported 🤍

Some weeks, the hardest part of eating well isn’t what to eat… it’s deciding what to cook in the first place.

If you’ve ever stood in the kitchen at 5pm with no plan, low energy with hungry kids asking what’s for dinner — you’re not alone.

Starting this each week I’ll be sharing a simple meal plan and grocery list designed to make nourishing your body easier. This follows the same principles I use in clinic.

This isn’t about perfection.
It’s about real, honest food that supports:

〰️steady all-day-long energy
〰️balanced hormones + cycles
〰️happy bloat-free digestion
〰️meals your kids will actually eat 🙈

Simple meals.
Balanced nutrients.
Less decision fatigue.

Save this for your next grocery shop 🤎

You know that sinking feeling when you’re at your GP and you hear: “your blood tests came back fine” but your body is still telling you that something isn’t right?

I see women in clinic who feel dismissed by results that were never designed to tell their full story.

The reference ranges on your blood tests are population based — not YOU based. They cover men, post-menopause women, menstruating women and all different age groups. But the reality is different phases of your life has different nutritional needs.

For example, Ferritin is only consider anaemic when it’s under 30ug/mL, but if you’re still menstruating (or heaven forbid heavily menstruating for 3-4 days a cycle) a Clinical Nutritionist will want to see Ferritin above 50ug/mL — that’s a huge difference to your mood, energy, immunity and cardio function!

I promise,
〰️You are not dramatic.
〰️You are not weak.
〰️And it’s not in your head. You know that sinking feeling when you’re at your GP and you hear: “your blood tests came back fine” but your body is still telling you that something isn’t right?

Choosing someone to guide your health can feel vulnerable.

You’re often tired. Frustrated. Confused by conflicting advice.
You may have already tried the trending supplement, the elimination diet, the protocol that promised everything — and delivered very little.

And what you’re really looking for isn’t another quick fix.

It’s clarity.
It’s reassurance.
It’s someone who can hold the complexity of your body without oversimplifying it.

You deserve to know who you’re trusting with your hormones, your gut, your fertility, your energy, your child’s health. You deserve to understand the depth of training behind the recommendations you’re given. You deserve care that feels thoughtful, not transactional.

My work has always been rooted in this:
Listening carefully.
Looking deeper.
Respecting physiology.
And honouring the fact that symptoms are messengers, not inconveniences to silence.

Health is intimate. It’s layered. It’s rarely black and white.

Time and again I see clients who are dismissed, overwhelmed, or unsure who to trust in the wellness space and my heart breaks.

Good health shouldn’t be this complicated. But the reality of our lives today means that it is.

And I hope you find a practitioner who makes you feel informed, empowered and genuinely supported.

If you’re navigating gut concerns, hormone imbalances, low iron, fatigue, skin issues or immune dysfunction and you want personalised, clinically grounded support — this is the work I do.

Homemade electrolytes are easier than you thick (and cents on the dollar in price!).

Your nervous system, adrenals and cells are not asking for lab-made artificial colours, synthetic sweeteners or “natural flavours.”
They are asking for minerals — in their most usable form.

A fully saturated sea salt solution (often called sole water) delivers naturally occurring trace minerals in an already dissolved state. That means they’re ionised, stable, and ready for absorption — no fillers, no flavour enhancers, no biochemical confusion.

When minerals are balanced, the body regulates itself.

An optimised mineral intake supports:

• Fluid balance at a cellular level (true hydration, not just water retention)
• Healthy blood pressure regulation
• Adrenal resilience and stress adaptation
• Energy production without the spike-and-crash cycle
• Histamine modulation
• Bone mineral integrity

INGREDIENTS
1/3 cup high-quality Celtic sea salt
Filtered water
Large glass jar
Unbleached baking paper
Rubber band or string
Wooden spoon (avoid metal)

METHOD
Add salt to the jar and fill with filtered water.
Stir with a wooden utensil until dissolved.

If all salt dissolves, it is not yet saturated. Add more salt, 1 tablespoon at a time.

You are aiming for a small amount of undissolved granules resting at the bottom.

Cover with baking paper and secure.
Leave in the cupboard for 24 hours.

If after 24 hours there are no granules at the bottom, add more salt and repeat.

When salt remains undissolved, your solution is fully saturated. The water cannot hold any more minerals. That is your indicator of stability and concentration.

Transfer to a small amber glass dropper bottle for daily use.

Simple. Mineral-rich. Foundational.

Most people are taught that serotonin — the “happy hormone” — lives in the brain.

But biologically, that isn’t the full story.

Around 90% of serotonin is synthesised in the gut, primarily by enterochromaffin cells in response to microbial activity. Your microbiome is not a passive bystander in this process — it is an active regulator.

Which means your gut is not just a digestive organ.
It is a neuroendocrine organ.

When the gut lining becomes inflamed, when microbial diversity declines, when stress hormones remain elevated, serotonin signalling can become disrupted. Not just production — but receptor sensitivity, vagal tone and downstream neurotransmitter balance.

And this is where we see it clinically:

• Persistent low mood
• Anxiety without clear external trigger
• Brain fog and irritability
• Fatigue that feels emotional as much as physical

Sometimes it isn’t “just stress.”
Sometimes it’s microbial.

Ultra-processed foods, repeated antibiotic exposure, chronic sleep deprivation and unrelenting stress all alter microbial composition and short-chain fatty acid production — both of which influence serotonin pathways and the gut–brain axis.

Gut repair, then, is not simply about easing bloating.

It is about restoring integrity to the intestinal barrier.
It is about nourishing microbial diversity.
It is about supporting the biochemistry of calm.

A resilient gut creates the internal environment required for mental clarity, emotional steadiness and sustainable energy.

This is where evidence-based nutrition meets the art of healing.

Tell me — what daily ritual are you using to support your gut–mind connection?
