Addressing these signals rather than restricting calories is key. Personalised hormone-focused nutrition, lifestyle, and gut support help stabilize blood sugar, regulate appetite, and restore natural energy rhythms. This approach prevents burnout and supports sustainable metabolic health.

Last year it was just me with my family. This year The Healthy Hormone Naturopath family has grown to include Sarah on the team as Naturopath and Kelly as our superwoman Admin. Today we got to celebrate a wonderful year together with our families.

I feel incredibly grateful to have these two wonderful women in my life.

Cannot believe that we are heading into Christmas!

From our family to yours, we hope you have a peaceful and happy Christmas and New Year.

Thanks so much for being a part of our family.

Much love
Wendy.

This is why many women feel like they're “doing everything right” yet still struggle with bloating, stubborn weight, and fatigue.

By supporting adrenal function, gut health, and hormone balance, we also improve GLP-1 sensitivity, helping appetite regulate naturally and metabolism become more efficient.

Poor sleep disrupts cortisol, insulin, thyroid hormones, and the gut-brain hormone 𝗚𝗟𝗣-𝟭, which helps regulate appetite and fullness cues. When 𝗚𝗟𝗣-𝟭 drops due to stress or lack of restorative sleep, you may feel hungrier, less satisfied after meals, and more prone to energy crashes.

Supporting sleep quality and hormone rhythm helps restore 𝗚𝗟𝗣-𝟭 signaling, steadying appetite and improving metabolic balance.

Such a great explanation of gut function and B12 absorption!

Vitamin B12 absorption can be viewed as a biochemical obstacle course

Here’s the shortcut to how your body actually gets B12 from food in 7️⃣ steps:

1️⃣ Starts in Food
Meat, eggs, dairy, fish → B12 is protein-bound.
💡 Example: That salmon fillet carries B12, but it’s locked up tight.

2️⃣ Stomach Acid Breaks It Free
Gastric acid + pepsin release B12 from food proteins.
💡 Without stomach acid (think antacids or age-related decline), B12 release suffers.

3️⃣ Haptocorrin (HC) Grabs It First
In the stomach, B12 binds to HC (a protective chaperone).
💡 This shields B12 from the harsh acidic environment.

4️⃣ Intrinsic Factor (IF) Takes Over
In the small intestine, enzymes break HC → B12 rebinds to IF (made by stomach cells).
💡 No IF = no absorption (that’s what happens in pernicious anemia).

5️⃣ Absorption in the Ileum
The B12–IF complex docks on special receptors (Cubam) in the ileum.
💡 That’s why B12 deficiency can occur after ileum surgery or Crohn’s disease.

6️⃣ Transport in Bloodstream
Once inside, B12 switches to transcobalamin (TC), the form cells can use.
💡 B12 + TC = delivery service to tissues and mitochondria.

7️⃣ Cellular Activation
Inside cells, B12 converts to active forms:

Methylcobalamin → makes methionine (DNA + neurotransmitters).

Adenosylcobalamin → runs mitochondria (energy).
💡 No active B12 = fatigue, neuropathy, brain fog.

𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀 isn’t minor when it comes to 𝗵𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗯𝗮𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲. Even if you “manage” your days, 𝗰𝗵𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗶𝗰 𝗹𝗼𝘄-𝗹𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀 can quietly disrupt 𝗰𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗹, 𝗵𝘆𝗽𝗼𝘁𝗵𝘆𝗿𝗼𝗶𝗱 function, and 𝘀𝗲𝘅 𝗵𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘀. This can leave you 𝘁𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗱, craving sugar, experiencing 𝗺𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝘀𝘄𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀, and struggling with 𝘀𝘁𝘂𝗯𝗯𝗼𝗿𝗻 𝘄𝗲𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁.

A 𝗻𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗰 𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗮𝗰𝗵 focuses on the 𝗿𝗼𝗼𝘁 𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲𝘀: 𝗌𝗅𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝗾𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆, 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁, gentle 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗹𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻, and 𝗻𝘂𝘁𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗲𝘀 that support natural hormone rhythms. When stress pathways calm, 𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗴𝘆, 𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗼𝗹𝗶𝘀𝗺, and 𝗺𝗼𝗼𝗱 improve.

Reducing stress naturally helps your 𝗵𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘀 regulate and your body feel more 𝗯𝗮𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗱.

𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗦𝗸𝗶𝗻 𝗛𝗮𝘀 𝗮 𝗦𝗮𝘆 𝗶𝗻 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗙𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆

We talk a lot about 𝗳𝗼𝗼𝗱 and 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀, but rarely about what’s on our 𝗸𝗶𝗻.
Yet many everyday products, from 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗳𝘂𝗺𝗲𝘀 to 𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝗽𝗿𝗮𝘆𝘀, contain 𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗺𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹𝘀 that 𝗺𝗶𝗺𝗶𝗰 𝗼𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗲𝗻 or 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗿𝘂𝗽𝘁 𝗵𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴.

Your skin absorbs around 60% of what you apply, and once inside, your 𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿 has to process it. If it’s busy 𝗱𝗲𝘁𝗼𝘅𝗶𝗳𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝘆𝗻𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝘀, it has less capacity to 𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗼𝗹𝗶𝘀𝗲 𝗵𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘀 efficiently.

This isn’t about fear, it’s about 𝗮𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀.

Choosing 𝗹𝗼𝘄-𝘁𝗼𝘅, 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗻𝘁-𝗯𝗮𝘀𝗲𝗱, or 𝗳𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲-𝗳𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁𝘀 isn’t a trend; it’s a way of creating less internal noise so your 𝗵𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘀 can 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗰𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗹𝘆.
