When was your last full blood check? 🧬⁠
⁠
Blood work shouldn’t only be reactive. It’s one of the most powerful tools in preventative health. ⁠
⁠
Annual blood testing can help identify nutrient deficiencies, hormonal imbalances, metabolic changes, and early signs of dysfunction long before symptoms become your normal.⁠
⁠
Some key markers we often recommend checking yearly include:⁠
〰️ Full blood count⁠
〰️ Iron studies⁠
〰️ Vitamin B12 and folate⁠
〰️ Vitamin D⁠
〰️ Full thyroid panel⁠
〰️ Lipid profile⁠
〰️ Fasting glucose and HbA1c⁠
〰️ Liver function tests⁠
〰️ Kidney function⁠
〰️ Fasting Insulin⁠
⁠
That said, blood work is never one size fits all. Your history, symptoms, life stage, and health goals should always guide what you test and how often.⁠
⁠
If you’ve been told “everything looks normal” but you still don’t feel right, deeper and more personalised testing can make all the difference.⁠
⁠

Why 5 am routines don’t work for everyone ⬇️⁠
⁠
5 am starts weren’t designed for women’s hormones. And that doesn’t mean you’re undisciplined or unmotivated.⁠
⁠
Female hormones follow a cyclical rhythm, not a rigid 24-hour schedule ⏰⁠
⁠
Add early mornings to chronic under-fuelling, poor sleep, and ongoing stress, and the body often responds by increasing cortisol. ⁠
⁠
⏳Over time, this can disrupt ovulation, lengthen or shorten cycles, worsen PMS, and leave you feeling constantly exhausted.⁠
⁠
Sleep, recovery, and adequate nourishment are not luxuries. They are essential for hormone production, cycle regularity, and nervous system balance.⁠
⁠
That said, early starts can work for some women, especially when they are well fuelled, sleeping enough, and supporting their stress load. ⁠
⁠
The key is support, not pushing harder ☀️⁠
⁠
Your body is not the problem. The expectation is.⁠

If you want steadier energy, improved mood, and more balanced hormones, start with protein 🍳⁠
⁠
Protein provides the amino acids your body needs for hormone and neurotransmitter production, immune function, and the growth and repair of tissues, while also supporting stable blood sugar.⁠
⁠
When breakfast is low in protein, blood sugar is more likely to spike and crash, which can show up as symptoms such as:⁠
〰️ Mid morning fatigue⁠
〰️ Cravings⁠
〰️ Anxiety⁠
〰️ Irritability⁠
〰️ Worsened PMS symptoms.⁠
⁠
A protein-rich breakfast also supports cortisol regulation in the morning, helping your body feel more grounded and less stressed as the day goes on. ⁠
⁠
This is especially important if you are dealing with hormonal imbalances, fatigue, or adrenal strain.⁠
⁠
This doesn’t mean complicated meals or eating perfectly. Simple, realistic options count. ⁠
⁠
Think easy meals like:⁠
〰️ Eggs with vegetables⁠
〰️ Greek yoghurt with berries and seeds⁠
〰️ A smoothie with protein powder or nut butter⁠
〰️ Even leftovers like salmon, chicken, or mince from dinner.⁠
⁠
Aim for consistency, not perfection.⁠

Your morning coffee isn’t the problem, but the timing might be 👀⁠
⁠
Coffee doesn’t “wreck” your hormones, but drinking it first thing on an empty stomach can amplify your stress response. ⁠
⁠
Cortisol naturally peaks in the morning, and adding caffeine before food can push it even higher.⁠
⁠
For some people, this can mean:⁠
1️⃣ Blood sugar dips⁠
2️⃣ Increased anxiety⁠
3️⃣ Worsened PMS symptoms⁠
4️⃣ Extra strain on the adrenals over time.⁠
⁠
Try this instead…⁠
⁠
Eat first, then enjoy your coffee, or delay it until mid-morning when cortisol naturally tapers. Same coffee, gentler impact.⁠
⁠
Save this for your morning routine ☕

Looking for meals that actually support your gut? ⁠
⁠
SAVE this post for some of our top picks from the Perth Health Collective team. ⁠
⁠
These meals combine fibre for healthy digestion, protein for gut repair, and healthy fats for overall wellness, all key elements for keeping your gut happy.⁠
⁠
Remember to always personalise to your symptoms and tolerance, especially if you’re managing IBS or SIBO.

Are you getting enough daily fibre?⁠
⁠
Fibre is essential for keeping your digestion running smoothly, feeding your gut microbes, and supporting overall gut health. ⁠
⁠
But not all fibre is created equal, that’s why we love including a variety of foods in our day!⁠
⁠
How to start: Add 1-2 of these foods each day and gradually build up.⁠
🍓 High-fibre fruits → Berries, kiwi, pears, apples (with the skin on), pears⁠
⁠
🥦 Vegetables → Broccoli, broccolini, Brussels sprouts, carrots, sweet potato (skin on), pumpkin, leafy greens⁠
⁠
🌾 Wholegrains & starchy carbs → Rolled oats, quinoa, brown rice, barley, wholegrain sourdough⁠
⁠
🥫 Legumes & pulses → Lentils, chickpeas, black beans, kidney beans (start slow to tolerance)⁠
⁠
🥜 Nuts & seeds → Chia seeds, ground flaxseeds, almonds, walnuts, pumpkin seeds⁠
⁠
If you have IBS, SIBO, or other digestive sensitivities, it's important to increase fibre slowly and work with a practitioner to personalise your plan.⁠

Bloating isn’t a diagnosis, it’s a clue 🔍⁠
⁠
For some people, it shows up after meals. ⁠
For others, it builds throughout the day or appears alongside fatigue, irregular bowels or hormonal changes. ⁠
⁠
While it’s tempting to blame a single food, bloating is often driven by something deeper.⁠
⁠
This could include ⬇️⁠
〜 Undereating, which can slow digestion and reduce gut motility. ⁠
〜 Chronic stress can shift the nervous system into “fight or flight”, diverting energy away from digestion. ⁠
〜 SIBO and dysbiosis are involved in imbalances in gut bacteria that ferment food too early. Constipation can cause gas and pressure to build. ⁠
〜 Low stomach acid affects protein breakdown and nutrient absorption. ⁠
〜 Food intolerances and hormonal patterns can further influence how the gut moves, reacts and responds.⁠
⁠
When the root cause isn’t identified, people often end up chasing symptoms, cutting out more foods, trying random supplements, or cycling through short-term fixes that don’t last.⁠
⁠
Understanding why bloating is happening allows for targeted, effective support, and far better outcomes ✅⁠

Do these symptoms feel all too familiar? ⁠
⁠
Persistent bloating, gas, discomfort after meals, unpredictable bowels or that uncomfortable “pregnant” bloated feeling can be incredibly frustrating, especially when you’re doing your best to eat well.⁠
⁠
🦠 SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth) occurs when bacteria that should live in the large intestine move into the small intestine, where they ferment food too early. ⁠
⁠
This can lead to bloating, gas, reflux, fatigue and brain fog, and for many people, symptoms worsen as the day goes on.⁠
⁠
While SIBO is widely talked about online, DIY protocols and random antimicrobials can often make symptoms worse or cause relapses if the underlying cause isn’t addressed. ⁠
⁠
Effective SIBO care requires proper testing, a targeted treatment plan, and support for the drivers behind it, such as gut motility, stress, hormones or nutrient deficiencies.⁠
⁠
If this post resonates, you don’t have to figure it out alone. ⁠

We’re not here to tell you to drink green smoothies every day… 🥬⁠
(Unless you genuinely love them.)⁠
⁠
Because gut health isn’t about forcing yourself into “perfect” habits or ticking off wellness trends. It’s about understanding what your body actually needs, and supporting that in a way that fits your real life.⁠
⁠
At Perth Health Collective, we’re far more interested in the bigger picture...⁠
⁠
your symptoms, ⁠
your history, ⁠
your stress, ⁠
your digestion, ⁠
your hormones, ⁠
your gut environment. ⁠
⁠
Not just what’s in your blender.⁠
⁠
That’s why we use tools like functional pathology, stool testing, HTMA and thorough consultations. ⁠
⁠
So we can uncover the why behind your symptoms and guide the how in a way that feels realistic and sustainable.⁠
⁠
✨ No food rules⁠
✨ No generic protocols⁠
✨ Just personalised, grounded support from practitioners who want you to feel genuinely well⁠

Hi, Sarah here 👋 ⁠
⁠
Between client sessions, sipping on almond flat whites and chatting gut health, here are a few thoughts from my week:⁠
⁠
🏆 Recent clinic win? A client with chronic reflux experienced significant relief after just 3 weeks of my protocol, even after trying conventional treatments for years.⁠
⁠
💪 One thing that helps me recharge outside of work, is going to the gym and having coffee with my gym buddies after.⁠
⁠
✨ One thing I’ve learnt this year is that I’m incredibly resilient and capable of so much more than I think I am ;) And that I thought I loved winter but I actually hate it!⁠
⁠
💡 If I were my own client, the health advice I would give myself is to Habit stack so you remember to take your supplements, they really don’t work if you don’t take them ;)⁠
⁠
Thanks for following along 💛. I’d love to hear from you. What’s one small win you’ve had this week?
