The Live Lightly Centre

The Live Lightly Centre Naturopathic, nutritional, herbal medicine and other complementary health services. Thyroid: this deserves a special mention as I see so much of it.

Hi, I'm Tracey Walker and I am a fully qualified naturopath (Bachelor's Degree in Health Science) and since starting I have attained a degree in life experience, particularly helping people with stubborn, often undiagnosed and chronic illnesses. I often find that I am the "last resort" after people have exhausted all other avenues and not found answers, and I am totally okay with that! In particul

ar my strengths are as follows:

Autoimmune disease: either diagnosed or undiagnosed, I can help you wind your way through the complicated and painful world of these chronic inflammatory systemic disorders. Often they come as a package deal (ie: more than one!) so that would have you seeing several specialists at once whereas we tend to treat the body as a whole. I explain what is happening to your body, why it is happening and how we treat from a holistic perspective. Female reproductive issues: PCOS, endometriosis, heavy or painful periods, irregular cycle, how to transition off the pill successfully, fertility issues, teenage "coming of age", acne, hormonal migraines, PNDD, PMS/PMT, perimenopause and menopause. Gut issues: diarrhoea, constipation, food sensitivities, reflux, IBS, coeliac disease, ulcerative colitis, Crohns, bloating, candida, recurrent UTI's, pain, mesenteric adenitis, eosinophilic esophagitis, stomach ulcers and gastritis

Mental health issues: anxiety, depression, OCD, ADD, ADHD, migraine/headaches associated with these issues, brain fog, lack of concentration, poor memory, confusion, overwhelming stress, insomnia

Skin issues: acne, eczema, rashes, dermatitis, hives, psoriasis

Whole family health: I see everyone from preconception to old age. Every stage has different physical, mental and emotional needs and hormonal challenges that go with it! It is most often an autoimmune disease but sometimes not and it takes people years to get diagnosed so I help them through this complicated issue. I coach you on how to speak to your doctor about testing, why your medication is not alleviating your symptoms, which tests to ask for and the difference between a "normal" thyroid irregularity and an autoimmune disease. And just WHY it is so important to know this. Chronic and complicated illnesses: I help people navigate their way through several chronic systemic inflammatory diseases such as fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, "adrenal fatigue", autoimmune disease, extremely inflamed gut issues and hormonal disorders - often all in the one body. When your doctors are confused and you have had enough, this is where I come in and I LOVE helping people find their way back to health and learning to understand their bodies and how they need to best support them. Full pathology reviews and polypharmacy: I like to work with doctors who will support the process and help to reduce polypharmacy (lots of different medications) as well as provide treatment that will not interfere with medication. I also give a holistic view on blood and other pathology tests which will most likely differ slightly from your doctor's view. I nearly always refer my clients back to their GP for a full set of bloods and a new perspective on their case. Me: I am a no nonsense, direct but extremely empathetic, supportive and loyal person to have on your team. I won't BS you, I will have your health (and pocketbook!) firmly at the forefront of everything I do. I meet you where you are at, not asking you to do things you are not physically or mentally capable of at this given moment. I have an irreverent sense of humour and I'm not afraid to use it! My consults are extremely informal and relaxed, a place for you to feel safe and heard and all designed to create a strong rapport. I am very evidence based, I love science and everything I recommend has a solid scientific background however if you tell me that something "outside of the realm" has worked for you in the past, we'll include that too. My only aim is to help you get better. My motto is "get you in, fix you up and get you out again!"

My clinic is located in Ellenbrook WA, 34 Ellen Stirling Parade, phone: (08) 6355 6246. I do face to face and phone consults and bookings can be made by calling reception or using the online "Book Now" button on Facebook. "Your Health is my Passion". Tracey Walker, Naturopath, BHSc (Nat)

A quick update on my gut health course that I’m doing, and one that those of you who follow and trust certain overseas big-name health influencers may want to read!

Firstly, I am running WAAAAY behind in content. That last trip down south has me about 8 – 10 hours behind so guess who’s got a LOT of catching up to do!

Secondly the bits I’ve seen so far have been very enlightening. He goes into what defines a “good” probiotic and there are several characteristics, the main ones being:

🩹 Strain specificity (ie: the strain listed is the strain trialed against the appropriate symptoms)

🩹 The STRAIN must be named, not just the family. Copied and pasted as I can’t be arsed typing myself:

Key Components of Probiotic Nomenclature:

Genus (e.g., Lactobacillus): The broad category (like "last name" or family).
Species (e.g., rhamnosus): A more specific classification within the genus.
Strain (e.g., GG): The unique identifier (letters/numbers) specifying the particular microorganism, which dictates its functional health effects.

So if it doesn’t have the little numbers and letters after it, if it just states “acidophilus” or “bifidobacteria” with no defining characteristics you don’t know what you’re getting.

🩹 Amount. Most trials are carried out using one billion CFU (colony forming units) so anything less than that, unless otherwise specifically trialed at a lower dose, is most likely not cutting the mustard. If there are multiple strains, they must ALL be at that level, not just the total in the whole product.

Red flags are - number one if any of the above is not present and number two saying s**t like “special”, “secret” or my own personal favourite “our own proprietary blend” and not telling you the strains! In fact, extrapolate that to ANYTHING you buy or put on your skin or down your gullet. If someone is not coming clean with you about what's in a product, they are not being cool or innovative, they are being disingenuous and deceptive. The very FIRST requirement for trust in my opinion is transparency.

Now, the interesting part. I just did a quick google search of the biggest wellness influencers that also happen to sell probiotics to see what’s going on. Number one, NONE of them had the strains listed, they were all just family (genus) and number two, a lot of them were under dosed. Now in fairness I only googled their flagship products and the first ones that came up was all I looked at. That was enough for me. 🤣

I can’t/wont name names but lets just say, one of them has an almost pathological hatred of lectins, one of them is HUGE in the MTHFR/dirty genes field, one of them has a last name that did the Titanic no favours (ice….) and the last one, I can’t think of anything pithy to say, his last name rhymes with decker.

I keep telling my people, DON’T buy products online just because someone has a huge following and a glossy sales pitch.

Now I know a few of you will read this and get a little triggered (we do seem to be unusually loyal to those who we have formed a bond with) and you may have the products and think they work wonderfully well for you, which is absolutely possibly the case.

This is not a witch hunt, but if you want red flags from a product/probiotic perspective, then these guys are all it.

Stay tuned for more gems. 💎

Why am I so “boring” with my treatment plans and prescriptions? Seriously, I really do think I'm boring. One or two dietary changes (literally only one if that's all people can manage), one or two supps if they want to, and usually one sort of "lifestyle" tip. And the results can be OUTSTANDING.

I’m not sure why I am so boring, I’m definitely not a boring person in real life, just ask me 🤣 but when it comes to health I always like to play it safe.

I am conservative by nature (believe it or not) and therefore don’t like to over prescribe or over complicate things.

Also conversely, the older I get and the more that I am learning how complicated the human body is, the more I revert back to what is logically the start of everything when it comes to health - food, movement and connection.

If the base of the pyramid is wobbly, ain’t no way you’re going to build a sound structure on it.

I’m also acutely aware that by the time people come to me there are so many tabs open in their brains, so much noise in their heads, so many daily small decisions to make on top of the big ones, I’m NOT going to add to that stress.

I ALWAYS meet you where you’re at. I ask you what you’re capable of changing. I ask you what you LIKE to do that I know is good for you, I ask if you if are able or want to take supplements, and we work on a plan together.

When someone walks into my office I make no assumptions and draw no plans in my head before you open your mouth.

Your treatment plan is just that, yours. It is a collaborative process and you are the driver. I am merely the background operator trying to steer you in the right direction!!! 🚗

I honestly can’t believe how many of you waded through that waffle yesterday although I’m sure most of you skipped to the “good luck, we love that for you!” part, and I’m all good with that! 😅

I really do appreciate the feedback and support and if you’re wondering why I’m taking on more study at this late age/stage in life, to be honest I don't really know! 🙃

Part of it is because I have had IBS myself for as long as I can remember, part of it is because I am seeing SO MANY really bad gut clients now (the guts are bad, not the clients, they're lovely!), part of it is because its so damn interesting and part of it is because, as ol mate Hippocrates once said many moons ago under a Grecian sky, “all disease begins in the gut”.

He wasn’t wrong. 🙏

I am a simple woman of simple means and simple plans and if I were to pick one supplement to prescribe and no more, it’d be my magic mag. Bar none.

If I were to pick one lifestyle thing to improve quality of life and longevity it would be movement.

If I were to pick one dietary bit of advice to follow for absolute best bang for buck it would be to eat wholefoods as much as possible, and still have your cake and eat it too (ie: don’t be so strict that the stress of being “good” does you more harm than the food you’re not supposed to eat!)

If I were to pick one overall feelgood thing it would be to get out in nature in any way possible. Breathe in the forest air, let that gorgeous sun get on your skin, walk barefoot on the ground, swim in the ocean, hug an animal.

If I were to pick one mental health thing to REALLY address it’d be unresolved trauma (okay, that’s not simple I know, but if you had to narrow down your choices…..)

If I were to pick one anti-aging brain trick it’d be dancing and music.

If I were to pick one non physical health trick it would be spirituality – your own – not what’s prescribed to you or forced down your throat or taught to you when you had no say. No dogma, no judgement, just find a faith outside of your body, something bigger that you believe in, that you can trust. Mine is Mother Nature. Yours might be God, Allah, Buddha, divine spirit, the universe, spirit guides, indigenous gods or beliefs – whatever speaks to your heart.

And if I were to pick one body system to study further to give you best bang for buck as it is responsible for nearly every single ailment we suffer today, even weird ones like hormone disruption, cholesterol and osteoporosis – it’d be the gut. Hands down. Best bang for buck in every single way. 💥

So there you go, there’s my top of the pops for health and happiness, and why I am doing this further study.

Oh and for those who said you’re gonna wait til I finish this course, I’m actually pretty good at this shizzle now just saying. Just ask the people who’ve completed my gut program. 😉😅

This is about having a much deeper dive and hopefully answering questions I’ve had and bringing better value to you lot. 🤓

Have a fab day. 🙏💕

I'm going back to school!!! 😣

I am seeing more and more complex gastrointestinal disorder cases in clinic now than I ever did before and I fear its only going to get worse. As a result, and after much thinking and soul searching because I REALLY didn’t want to do any more study 😆 I have enrolled in Jason Hawrelak’s Naturopathic & Functional Medicine Approaches to Gastrointestinal Disorders course.

For those of you who don’t know who he is, Jason is considered to be one of the leading experts in the treatment of gastrointestinal conditions with natural medicines in Australia and I particularly love his down to earth “food first” approach. He is also, as am I, very much AGAINST the kill kill kill approach that most gut programs seem to endorse.

He is the quintessential “bug nerd” and I mean that in the most affectionate of terms, I have never seen anyone get so excited about a strain of bacteria in my life, especially a good one! 🦠

This is the outline of the course for those who are interested (for those who aren’t scroll on to the "wish me luck" part as I’ve given you the lot haha.)

At the end of the 10 weeks I will be a certified Healthy Gut Practitioner, someone who has been recognized as having done extensive post-graduate training in this area and as being fluent in Dr Jason Hawrelak’s microbiome-first practice paradigm.

I am super excited to be going back to my roots so to speak as I did my dissertation on the microbiome and depression, so its always been my “thing”.

Right, back to work after a back to back down south trip. As I said before, it wasn’t planned that way but I am not complaining anyway!

This one was a girls trip to Dunsborough with my bestie from high school!

Yep, there’s something special about a relationship that spans four decades, one where we literally know each other inside out, have been there through thick and thin, had our fair share of ups and downs, we’ve seen trauma, heartaches, breakups (including twice with each other lol), births, deaths, marriages, gossip, laughs, tears, dancing, eating, drinking, swearing, loooong chats and everything in between. If there is anything left to go in between all that! 😂

So this one was a long overdue getaway and my favourite part? We did a day long Tuscan cooking course with the gorgeous Sioban from Wildwood who trained under Neil Perry back in the day. 👨‍🍳

She was amazing, had the whole cheffy vibe going on (they are a special kind of person the chef, beauty born from chaos is an experience to behold!) and learnt a few new recipes! 📖

We cooked several versions of crostini (toppings on crusty bread), home made pasta with a bloody GORGEOUS oven roasted tomato and prosciutto sauce, the most amazing green bean, roast pumpkin and beetroot salad, roast spuds to die for, beef pizzaiola which was melt in the mouth tender and tasty and a really simple but super delicous apple crusty pastry thing.

We ate in dribs and drabs during the day sharing a glass of vino with our newfound best foodie friends and sharing stories around the table. It was very, well, Italian. 🇮🇹

In what can only be described as my coincidental or universal way I met this this gorgeous couple from NZ who were staying at the same place in Cowaramup that Stephen and I stayed a year or so ago that is owned by none other than one of our beautiful Ali’s best friends!

These boys were also living our dream, bought a block of land during Covid when they wanted to escape the rat race and are building it up to be their own piece of paradise. Wherever I go I seem to find these “connections” and it just makes any trip or interaction that much more special. 🤩

Other than that we just had a really easy going trip. Lots of long chats, some vino, some champers, some great food and old school tunes, cups of tea and chocolate in bed watching Britbox (if you want a cute new one, try Ludwig starring funny man David Mitchell) and trying to spot our local friendly quenda who would pay us a visit every now and then outside our unit. Pretty cool.😎

Anyway, I am back into it now, sorry for the delay in getting back to people, there’s been a bit of catching up to do! 🧐

07/04/2026

Just a reminder that I will be out of the office tomorrow (8th April) and back on Tuesday 14th April. I'll be down south again 😳 but this time with my bestie doing a TUSCAN COOKING CLASS for the day! Could it get any better? I think not.....

Anyway, clearly the timing wasn't great work-wise but this one was planned ages ago and the Easter trip was more spontaneous. Either way I'm not complaing, but I'm also not answering your emails too unfortunately. 😆

If its urgent, best to message the page. Adios amigos. Or is that plural amigi??? 😅

Hi all, another business/personal update and this one isn’t an April Fool’s joke so don’t read waiting for the punchline...
06/04/2026

Hi all, another business/personal update and this one isn’t an April Fool’s joke so don’t read waiting for the punchline 😂.

This Easter my husband and I went on a reconnaissance trip to beautiful Bridgetown, a place we have loved for ages and only recently began talking about retiring to. When you visit a place with potential “living there” eyes as opposed to “great spot for a holiday” eyes it looks different. 👀

I think anyone who has followed my page for a while knows just how much I love it down south.

Every holiday chance I get I wanna pack the bags and bu**er off to the tree lined hills and paddocks down there.

I absolutely LOVE the quirkiness of the smaller country towns, the push towards (or the never having left?) sustainable living, permaculture and agriculture, the places where quirky individuals can feel comfortable just being themselves and practicing their art, healing, music or lifestyle preferences and most of all, the natural beauty and calmness. ☺️

I always feel at peace down there and I remember writing a retirement dream post on this very page many years ago that sounds exactly what we are looking for now – a little bit of land, a place we can call our own, a place I can indulge in the myriad of cooking, baking, fermenting, pickling, jarring, preserving – whatever – foody indulgences I will finally have time to do and hopefully, a garden where we can grow at least some, if not all of our produce. 🪴

The husband wants a tractor and there seems very little I can do (or WANT to do!) to dissuade him of that notion so we will have to find a way we can incorporate that too haha. 🚜

We spoke to the locals, they are all so bloody NICE and polite and friendly and clearly love their piece of mostly unspoilt paradise. 🤩

I was told of home made artisan bakeries (some of the bread is in the photos I took), blues festivals, a permaculture style support community where you can swap your 25kgs of overgrown zucchini coz you planted too many for a nice tomato from someone else who did the same and best of all, the gorgeous real estate lady we spoke to was most excited when she found out I was a naturopath! Says lots of people would welcome that down there as they were very health focused and loved supporting community. 🙏

Not that that’s why we’re moving there, it is all about cutting back work to be honest but I am definitely still going to do phone consults for whoever still wants and needs me and I may hang out a wee shingle in Bridgetown for any of the locals to utilise my services too. 📝

This won’t be happening til the hubby retires in about 18 months to 2 years but it WILL be happening. We are just bu**ered to be honest. 🥱

We look back on the fabulous but somewhat crazy life we’ve lived so far. The past 20 years have been ALL about the boys and me building my business and him establishing himself in his and its taken its toll I think on us physically, mentally, emotionally and even as a couple.

I think we both see this move as a line in the sand - not so much leaving our old life, we still very much love every part of it, but definitely giving us a long view to the future, building something that is finally just for ourselves and each other.

We will have enough room for our “old life” to come visit and stay with us as often and for as long as they want! 🛌

So, I know people get a bit confused with my long posts so the quick takeaways are:

ITS BUSINESS AS USUAL HERE TIL TOLD OTHERWISE! I am still working out of the same spot and taking new clients in person and on the phone until we move. 🙏

We are moving in about 2 years and I will continue to ”see” my clients over the phone either as new ones or follow ups, with most likely reduced working hours. 🤗

I will be more than happy to have you in my home for a face to face consult if you come to Bridgetown for it 😆.

I will invite you into my warm and cosy home, if you survive the licking to death by the dog I will offer you a cup of tea or coffee or even a mug of soup if I have some on the go and we’ll get talking about your hormones, gut and autoimmune disease!

So that’s it.

Big changes coming up in the Walker household in a few years’ time and I think we are all nervously excited about it. 😬

If you have any concerns about your ongoing treatment, don’t 🤣. Seriusly though, if you have any questions just ask and I’ll sort you out.

Big loves and have a fab week. 🙏 ❤️ 🌈

02/04/2026

✨Happy Easter everyone!!! ✨

Whether you celebrate or not, I hope you have the most amazing few days off with loved ones and hopefully recharge a little.

I am away from work from today Friday 3rd, back on Tuesday the 7th then away again Wednesday the 8th and back to work on Tuesday the 14th so not much time at work for this lil black duck over the next two weeks!

I will have access to Facebook messages through the page but no other ways as I will be down south both times.

Wishing you all the very best for the break. 🙏💕

31/03/2026

Right, the time has come for me to move on, I am selling up the business and going into retirement. 😭

APRIL FOOOOOOOOLSSSSSSSSS! Sorry. 🤗

Nope, all good on the business front, its just been coming up a year without my darling Ali so just giving you all an update on how we are coping!

Firstly, Ali is living her very best retirement life with the most adorable little Leela in tow wherever she goes. They are each other’s new best friends and I think the tonic Ali needed to have a new lease on life. 🐶

Ali is still hovering in the background doing bits and bobs from home for me which is fabulous, allows her to keep her nose in the game and me some mental comfort knowing if I have a big job coming up or I’m going away she can “person the ship” as it were.

As for me, I have done extremely well (for me haha) trying to navigate my new single life. It has been challenging to say the least at certain times, Ali did so much for me that I didn’t even realise til she wasn’t doing it (she was always far more to me than “just a receptionist”) but I’m now doing all that stuff for myself. 😅

I have totally streamlined the way the centre runs by doing a few important things:

I have gone mostly paperless, although dinosaur me works far better on paper files for new clients and “big” (as in long standing or complex) clients. 🦕

The phone calls go through to message bank and I have a standard SMS response which sends people through to the booking page if that was what they were after, or allows them to respond and I can call when I’m available.

It is tricky to call between clients because everyone else’s “quick call” is really, never just a “quick call” and I am never late for my people so I won’t answer during the day unless I have a big gap, sorry. 🙏

I respond to emails really quickly, that is the best way to get me as I can shoot off a quick reply between people. 👍

I do a lot more phone consults now for some reason, it seems to be picking up which is great. The online booking system takes full payment for phone consults up front at time of booking so we don’t have to worry about payment over the phone. If you want to pay up front when booking (some people do for budgeting purposes) feel free to use the phone booking appt and just put in the notes that it is a face to face one. ☎️

If a client hasn’t been for over 12 months and books a follow up, we will most likely change to an initial (and advise you as such) as a lot can happen over a year and usually 30 mins just won’t cut it. If it really is just a quick catch up, you will only be charged as such. 👍

MyScript (online ordering) is working a treat for most people, with a lot of people also taking advantage of the full Rener warehouse products which are at their disposal as well. The people are beautiful and helpful if you have a problem, and the delivery is quick from what I’ve been told. 🚛

If you don’t use it or hate online ordering or prefer the personal touch, I still sell all my favourite products in-store, you just have to contact me to make a time to get them.

My hours are the same (Tuesdays 9 – 5 to Saturday 9 – 1 ish) and I have flexibility around appointment times if you can’t find the time you are after, just message me.

The sauna is not available anymore too, I’ve had several people ask, that was sold with the building but the new lady is nice enough to still let me use it haha. 🔥

As for me personally, despite having to do a lot of the admin work, I am actually finding it enjoyable now really steering my own ship. I still have my fabulous support network for IT, bookwork and Ali of course and you guys have been totally amazing and only whingeing slightly about the no butterflies on the goodie bags now. 🤣🦋

Seriously though, I do appreciate there is a level of inconvenience for some of you not having Ali out front anymore as well, so I really do thank you for that. 🙏

I think that is all I need to say, if you have any questions about the way we’re operating or the type of clients I see or if I’m the one for you, feel free to message me.

Thank you and have a fabulous rest of the week. 💕

27/03/2026

✨ Saturday appointment available! ✨

Due to a late scratching we have a 10.30am available tomorrow morning, Saturday 28th March for either an initial consultation or a follow up.

Please use the link in the comments to book. This is the last Saturday appt til Saturday 18th April! 🙏💕

I was speaking to a lovely client yesterday and telling her how our declining hormones make us, shall we say, less amenable to people pulling the p**s out of us! ESPECIALLY if we are dealing with neurodivergent possibilities which become glaringly obvious during this time as well.

Just another joy gifted to us by Mother Nature and modern lifestyles!!!

Anyhoo, she agreed wholeheartedly, could feel the change in her own attitude and basically said how she was standing up for herself at work now, saying a huge NO to further jobs being dumped on her desk that were out of her normal workload.

I did a little happy dance for her, arms in the air, shoulders moving (anyway, you don’t need that visual…..) and I said to her, “that’s fabulous, what you are doing there is drawing BOUNDARIES, and the only people who will get p**sed off with you for drawing boundaries are the ones who have been over-stepping them for years!”.

Think about it. If you treat your friends, colleagues and family with love and respect, their own boundaries are not an issue because you are not overstepping them.

However, if you have been silently using and abusing someone, expecting them to carry more than their fair share of any load and all of a sudden they say no, I don’t have the time, energy or mental bandwidth for this anymore, and YOU get upset? Just sit with that a minute….. 🤔

This is an extremely difficult one for women especially to learn. We have been conditioned for many many years that our roles are as caregivers, supporters and nurturers, and our hormones are fully complicit in these roles - until they’re not.

So if you are a person who is struggling with setting some personal boundaries but you know you need to, remember this. The ONLY people who will be p**sed off with you are those who are constantly over stepping them. And they are the ones who need to respect them the most.

Have fun with that. 😉🙏💕

Things that take far too long to get diagnosed in women:

Perimeinopause (you’re usually “too young”). 😒

Any thyroid condition, particularly underactive. Usually gets diagnosed as anxiety or depression or you get put on weight loss medications. 💊

Coeliac disease. Usually first diagnosed when ongoing low iron is finally properly investigated, or when you have bone scans and you’ve been doing “all the right things” (really) and you have osteopenia. 🥖

Neurodivergence of any kind. Usually goes a wee bit cray cray around perimenopause as our hormones heavily affect neuroinflammation, so now you’ve got two interlinked disorders that will take years to be acknowledged, or be treated with the wrong medications. 😞

Endometriosis, don’t even start me on that one. Apparently its “normal” for women to have extremely painful and heavy periods. 🩸 😫

Nearly any autoimmune condition. Most of our aches and pains, no matter how bad, are put down to hormones or just being a “busy mum”. I’ve read it can take between 4 and 10 years for someone to finally be officially diagnosed with an autoimmune disease. 🤕

None of this is good enough!

And before you say I’m being sexist and not counting the blokes in on this, clearly you will see that some of these things are strictly women-centric and the others are heavily influenced by female hormones regardless of the disease/disorder.

If you are having problems being diagnosed with something, even if you want to handle the diagnosis fully medically, I can help you find your way.

I know the tests to ask for, the questions to ask and the medical path you will need to follow for diagnosis first. Then in most cases I know the treatments they will offer you and we can discuss that in our consult as to what your options are.

If you want to try and avoid/reverse your condition naturally, or use a combination of both, we can discuss that too. No pressure from me either way, I just want you to feel better! 🙏💕

Women are still the forgotten ones in medicine I’m afraid. 😭
