It’s not just what you eat it’s what you’re exposed to every day.

Plastics, skincare, chemicals, seed oils, light and stress can quietly disrupt your gut, overwhelm detox pathways and interfere with hormone balance.

Over time, this shows up as:

• Bloating that worsens through the day - leaky gut .
• Fluid retention & puffiness.
• PMS, breast tenderness, heavy cycles
• Hormonal acne or skin changes
• Fatigue & low energy
• Brain fog & low mood
• Waking between 2–4am
• Abdominal weight gain
• Poor tolerance to alcohol or richer foods
• Sluggish digestion or irregular bowels

When the gut, liver & lymphatic system aren’t clearing hormones properly, toxins and oestrogen recirculate driving these symptoms.

I focus on supporting detox pathways properly through nutrition, testing, targeted supplements & lymphatic therapy so the body can clear, rebalance and function the way it’s meant to.

Modern health isn’t about doing more it’s about clearing/ detoxing more efficiently.

Your body is constantly processing hormones, toxins & inflammatory waste every day.

But when your gut, liver & lymphatic system aren’t working efficiently, things don’t clear the way they should.

This is where symptoms start to build:
– bloating & fluid retention
– hormonal imbalances (PMS, perimenopause)
– fatigue & brain fog
– stubborn abdominal weight

It’s not about harsh detoxes or extreme protocols.
It’s about supporting your body’s natural detox pathways so it can function properly.

As a Naturopath, I focus on:
– gut function & microbiome balance
– liver detoxification support
– lymphatic drainage & flow
– targeted nutrition, testing & supplementation

When these systems are supported together, the body clears more efficiently and symptoms begin to shift.

If you’re feeling stuck, this is where we start.

My favourite simple daily shot for gut, liver & hormone support.

Olive oil helps stimulate bile flow, improve digestion & support hormone clearance.

Rich in polyphenols, it also feeds beneficial gut bacteria & supports the gut lining.

With ginger, turmeric & lemon, it adds anti-inflammatory & digestive support.

Helpful for:
bloating, sluggish digestion, fluid retention & hormonal symptoms.

Gut Health Olive Oil Shot

• 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• 1 tsp fresh lemon juice
• ½ tsp grated ginger
• ¼ tsp turmeric
Optional: small drizzle of honey (if needed for taste)

How to use
Mix well & take as a small shot in the morning
(or before meals to support digestion)
How I work

I focus on how well your body clears
supporting the gut, liver & lymphatic system to reduce symptoms and restore balance.

If your metabolism feels slower, cravings are stronger or sleep is off — you may not be eating enough protein this chart can help you .

Protein helps stimulate GLP-1, supporting appetite control, blood sugar balance and fat metabolism. It also supports neurotransmitters for sleep, mood and hormone balance.

During perimenopause, protein becomes even more important helping maintain muscle, stabilise blood sugar and support hormonal shifts.

How much protein do you need:

Women: 20–30g per meal (≈ 80–100g/day)

Men: 30–40g per meal (≈ 100–130g/day)

Teens: 1.0–1.5g per kg body weight/day

Children: ~1g per kg body weight/day
If you’re training, your needs are higher.

A Naturopath tip forVegetarians
Combine plant proteins — quinoa & lentils, lentils & seeds, tofu & grains, chia added to meals to get to your protein needs.

If you’re unsure what your body needs, this is what I personalise in clinic.

HOW THE BODY CHANGES AFTER 35

Most people don’t realise how much the body starts to shift from the mid-30s — until they feel it

Energy dips, stress feels harder to manage, and the body doesn’t bounce back like it used to

You may notice weight shifting, lighter sleep, and changes in skin, mood and overall energy

⸻

As these changes occur, cellular energy production becomes less efficient, gut function can shift, and the stress and blood sugar response may become more reactive

Supporting key detoxification pathways — including the gut, liver and lymphatic system — helps the body regulate hormones, clear metabolic waste and reduce inflammation

⸻

As a Naturopath with a focus on longevity and overall health,
I use targeted testing to guide personalised support, including nutrition, supplementation and lymphatic therapy.

Most people don’t realise how much the body starts to shift from the mid-30s — until they feel it!

You may notice weight shifting, lighter sleep, and changes in skin, mood and overall energy.

As these changes occur, cellular energy production becomes less efficient, gut function can shift, and the stress and blood sugar response may become more reactive.

Supporting key detoxification pathways including the gut, liver and lymphatic system helps the body regulate hormones, clear metabolic waste and reduce inflammation

In my clinic Healthmatters I use pathology testing , Iridology & kinesiology to personalised your support with supplements/ nutrition, and detoxification.

This approach helps improve your energy, brain fog ,sleep, metabolic health, weight loss and supports healthy skin, mood and overall wellbeing.

When the body is supported properly, everything works better.

Chronic stress reduces stomach acid, slows digestive enzyme release, and lowers microbial diversity — setting the stage for bloating, SIBO and gut irritation.

My naturopathic tips:

1. Calm the nervous system
• Slow down before meals
• Eat in a relaxed state
• Gentle magnesium support if needed

2. Support digestion
• Bitters before meals
• Chew properly
• Enzymes for heavier meals

3. Reduce overgrowth
• Garlic, oregano (low dose)
• Saccharomyces boulardii
• Avoid excess fermentable foods

4. Repair the gut lining
• Glutamine
• Zinc
• Collagen / bone broth

5. Rebuild the microbiome
• Targeted probiotics
• Gradually increase fibre

6. Support detox pathways
• Liver + lymphatic support
• Keep bowels regular

How I help:
I use functional gut pathology testing to identify the root cause whether it’s SIBO, dysbiosis, inflammation or gut lining damage so we can create a targeted, personalised plan.

Sleep isn’t just about taking a supplement it’s about understanding why your body isn’t switching off.

As a naturopath, I don’t look at sleep as one problem.
I look at nervous system balance, cortisol, hormones, gut health & nutrient status because the cause determines the solution.

That’s why the right supplement matters.

Here’s how these supports actually work:

L-theanine
Helps increase GABA, your calming neurotransmitter.
Perfect for a busy mind, overthinking, and difficulty winding down at night.

Ashwagandha
An adaptogen that helps regulate cortisol.
Best for “wired but tired” when stress is high but energy is low.

Magnesium (glycinate)
Relaxes the nervous system and muscles.
Supports deeper, more restorative sleep and reduces night-time tension.

Inositol
Supports the nervous system and blood sugar balance.
Helpful for anxiety, PCOS, and waking during the night.

5-HTP
Supports serotonin, which is needed to produce melatonin.
Useful for low mood, cravings, and trouble falling asleep.

Melatonin
Directly regulates your sleep–wake cycle.
Best used short-term (jet lag, shift work, rhythm disruption).

If your sleep is off, it’s usually not random.

Work with me as a naturopath to find the cause and choose the right support for you.

Feeling bloated, tired or like your hormones are off but not sure where to start?

As a naturopath, I focus on what actually creates long-term change:

Rest. Repair. Rebuild.

When your nervous system is under stress, digestion and hormones are impacted.
If the gut lining is compromised, inflammation rises and absorption drops.
And when the microbiome is out of balance, it can affect energy, mood and hormone health.

This is where I start with my clients.

Using a personalised approach, I support this through:
• Gut microbiome & functional testing
• DNA insights
• Kinesiology (stress & sensitivities)
• Lymphatic drainage to support detox & fluid balance
• Iridology to assess underlying patterns

Support the body properly and symptoms begin to shift.

DM me “GUT” for support
or book a consultation to personalise your plan.

Creatine isn’t just for the gym it supports energy, sleep, brain function, hormones & recovery.

The key isn’t perfect timing… it’s consistency.

When taken correctly, creatine can support metabolism, improve strength, reduce fatigue and assist hormone balance especially for women in their 30s, 40s and beyond.

MY NATUROPATH TIPS ON
WHEN TO TAKE IT FOR YOUR HEALTH BENEFITS;

• After training for muscle recovery and strength -30 mins after workout.
• Morning for brain function and energy
• Evening for recovery and sleep support best with dinner.
• For hormones and fertility, consistent daily use is key best in morning.

• Dose: 3–5g daily
• Start low: 1–2g and build up slowly to reduce bloating
• Consistency matters more than exact timing
• Best taken with or after food to improve tolerance.

Not all creatine is the same quality matters. Many over-the-counter products are low quality or poorly absorbed.

As a naturopath, I use practitioner grade supplements to ensure purity, absorption and results.

If you’re unsure if creatine is right for you or which type to use this is exactly what I personalise in clinic.
If you have kidney issues please consult a doctor before trying creatine

Sleep is essential for overall health , hormones , weight, energy
and when it’s disrupted, it’s often a sign the body is out of balance.

As a naturopath, these are some of the most common patterns I see and what they can indicate;

• Can’t fall asleep
May indicate Overactive nervous system (common in ADHD), elevated cortisol, poor digestion or low progesterone.

• Waking 1–2am
Often linked to blood sugar dips, lack of protein or the body working harder overnight.

• Waking 3–4am
Early cortisol rise , adrenal fatigue or changes in the stress response.

• Sleeping but still tired
Poor sleep quality often linked to gut health, inflammation, nutrient status or hormones.

Lifestyle factors can also play a role.
Alcohol, late meals or even chocolate (caffeine) can disrupt sleep and reduce sleep quality.

Sleep is where your body resets
hormones, improves metabolism, improves immunity ,gut function & energy all rely on it.

If your sleep feels off, there’s always a reason.

DM me “SLEEP” and I’ll help guide you with the right supplements , wellness & nutrition tips.
