Back to work and already sick of thinking about what to have for lunch every day?

This is one of my favourite go-to work day lunches 🥗
Balanced, blood-sugar friendly and easy to prep the night before.

Quick Nourish Bowl:
• Leftover roast chicken (or tinned salmon)
• Cooked quinoa or brown rice
• Baby spinach & cucumber
• Olive oil, lemon & sea salt
• Sauerkraut or olives for digestion (but more importantly for taste 😋)

Protein + fibre + healthy fats = steady energy all afternoon
(No 3pm crash 😴😴😴)

In clinic, one of the most effective tools I use is a practitioner-strength magnesium glycinate powder combined with activated B vitamins.

This formula consistently delivers results for patients dealing with high stress, poor sleep, low energy and hormone imbalance.

Why I use it so often:
• Supports the stress response and nervous system
• Improves energy production and reduces fatigue
• Helps regulate mood and reduce PMS
• Reduces muscle tension and headaches
• Aids deeper, more restorative sleep

The activated B vitamins make a significant difference in how efficiently the body can produce energy, while the high-quality magnesium supports relaxation and recovery. It’s a reliable, evidence-based option I come back to again and again.

If you want to know whether this would suit your symptoms, send me a DM and I can point you in the right direction.

1️⃣ Stress drops your progesterone
When you’re overwhelmed or not sleeping well, your body makes less progesterone - the hormone that keeps you calm. Low progesterone manifests as irritability, tender breasts, spotting & cyclic anxiety.

2️⃣ Blood sugar imbalance
Skipping meals, living on snacks or caffeine, and afternoon sugar hits spike & crash your blood sugar. Every crash triggers cortisol, which disrupts ovulation and hormone balance.

3️⃣ Gut inflammation
An inflamed gut struggles to clear oestrogen, which means it can build up in the body. Higher oestrogen in the lead-up to your period results in heavier, moodier PMS.

That feeling where you’re snappy, overstimulated, emotional, or just not yourself in the week before your bleed is not you “being dramatic”.

It’s your body under stress.

Low progesterone, inflammation, blood sugar dips, a busy life… it all adds up and your hormones end up carrying the load.

And it feels awful 😩

But the good news? It’s so treatable. With the right support, your PMS doesn’t have to hijack a week out of every single month.

You get to feel calm, grounded and like yourself again.
If this sounds like you and you’re ready for support, reach out.

You don’t have to put up with this every month 💚

🌙 PMS or survival mode?

If your premenstrual week feels like:
• Irritability out of nowhere
• Feeling teary or flat
• Sugar cravings that won’t let up
• Exhaustion that no amount of sleep fixes…

It’s not just hormones.

Your nervous system plays a huge role. When you’re in “survival mode” (fight–flight–freeze), your body shuffles resources away from hormone balance and into “keeping you safe.” Cortisol rises, progesterone often dips, and PMS symptoms flare.

Here’s the part most people miss … supporting your nervous system is one of the most powerful ways to soften PMS. This is exactly the kind of work I do with clients: balancing hormones, calming the nervous system, and giving your body what it needs to feel safe again.

Because when your body feels safe, your cycle feels lighter 🙃

🌿 A little about me 🌿

I’m Hayley 👋 I launched Yarra Ranges Naturopathy fresh out of my studies 8 years ago and still practice here where it all began; in Mount Evelyn.

My philosophy is that true health is about more than quick fixes. It’s about understanding your body on a deeper level, finding the root causes, and creating lasting change.

In my practice, I help people who are tired of feeling flat, stressed, or out of balance - and who are ready for real, sustainable results. My approach blends evidence-based treatments with genuine care, so you feel supported every step of the way.

If you’re ready to reconnect with your body and take your health to the next level, you’re in the right place 💫

🍎 Hormone-friendly snack idea 🍏

When your hormones need love, stable blood sugars are key 💕

One of my favourite simple snacks:
🍎 Apple slices
🥄 A spoonful of almond butter
✨ Sprinkle of cinnamon

It balances sweetness with protein, fibre + healthy fats. Perfect!

Do you wake up feeling unrefreshed, even after 7–8 hours in bed? 😴

Your energy isn’t just related to how long you sleep, but also to how well you cycle through the sleep stages.

In clinic, causes I see behind poor sleep are many & varied, but often include:
✨ Low nutrients (iron, B12, magnesium)
✨ Hormonal shifts
✨ Stress burden on the nervous system
✨ Blood sugar imbalances

The good news? Once we uncover & correct the cause, sleep can improve.

If fatigue is holding you back, I’d love to support you—DM me or book a consult ☺️
