What kids eat shapes how they feel, focus, and grow — it’s not just about food, it’s about their future 💚

🦠 Gut Health:
A balanced diet full of fibre, fruit, and veggies feeds the good bacteria that protect immunity and digestion.

🧠 Mood & Focus:
The gut and brain are connected! When the gut is healthy, it produces more serotonin — the feel-good chemical that supports calm moods and better sleep.

🍎 Stable Energy:
Whole foods and good fats help keep blood sugar steady — avoiding mood swings, hyperactivity, and fatigue.

💡 Brain Function:
Nutrients like omega-3s, B vitamins, and antioxidants boost learning, memory, and concentration.

✨ I can help with a nutrition plan and supplements to reduce:
🌿 Allergies
🌿 Gut issues & Candida
🌿 SIBO & bloating
🌿 Mood & sleep imbalances
🌿 ADHD & focus support

If you experience ongoing bloating, fatigue, or skin issues, it may be worth investigating a yeast imbalance. Candida is a natural yeast that lives in the gut, mouth, and skin — but when it overgrows, it can affect digestion, hormones, immunity, and overall energy.

How You Get It

Candida overgrowth often develops when the body’s natural balance is disrupted, allowing yeast to thrive.
Common triggers include:
• High-sugar or refined-carb diets – feed yeast and reduce healthy bacteria.
• Frequent antibiotics or steroids – weaken gut flora and immunity.
• Hormone changes or oral contraceptives – alter gut balance.
• High stress or poor sleep – lower immune and digestive function.
• Low stomach acid or weak digestion – allow yeast to grow.
• Gut issues like SIBO, leaky gut, or traveller’s diarrhoea – disrupt gut bacteria and lead to overgrowth.

Common Symptoms

• Fatigue & brain fog
• Bloating, gas, or cramping
• Sugar or carb cravings
• Skin rashes or fungal infections
• Joint pain or stiffness
• Cracked corners of the mouth
• Recurrent sinus infections
• Dandruff or flaky scalp
• Alcohol Intolerance esp wine and beer.

A Naturopath looks deeper to uncover the root cause and restore balance through:
At my clinic Health matters I do
testing & iridology – to assess gut health, inflammation, and yeast imbalance.
* Diet guidance – reducing sugar and yeast-heavy foods while supporting gut repair.
* Herbal & nutritional support – using natural antifungals and probiotics to rebalance the microbiome.
* Liver & detox support – to help clear Candida toxins safely.
* Lymphatic massage & lifestyle care – to boost detox, improve circulation, and reduce inflammation.

A naturopathic plan can help restore gut balance, reduce Candida symptoms, and improve your energy and wellbeing from the inside out.

Boosts glutathione — your liver’s master antioxidant that helps neutralise toxins and repair liver cells.

✨ B Vitamins (especially B6, B12 & folate)
Help convert toxins into water-soluble compounds for safe elimination and boost your energy during detox.

In today’s world, cellular support is essential for energy, detoxification, hormone balance, and healthy aging.

But taking strong nutrients like NAD⁺ or Glutathione without testing can cause unwanted reactions.

* NAD⁺ – boosts cell energy & repair.
Too much can overstimulate the body which may lead to headaches, anxiety, nausea, insomnia, or rapid heartbeat — especially if your liver or methylation pathways are sluggish.

* Glutathione – your body’s master antioxidant & detoxifier.
Can trigger mild detox reactions → fatigue, brain fog, nausea, or breakouts if toxins are released too quickly.

It’s essential to get tested and see a qualified Naturopath for the right dosage and form , especially before starting high-dose supplements or IV therapy.

At my clinic I use DNA testing or kinesiology to help identify if your body truly needs these supplements and can process it safely.

* Avoid sugar, alcohol, and processed foods that feed parasites.

Your body can heal naturally when given the right support .
