The fall of a few prominent grifters over the past few days has gotten me thinking about what’s really important in the world right now.

There’s too much misinformation and marketing out there it’s no wonder everyone is confused and anxious about food.

So, I’m doing what should have been done all along. My short course is now totally free. If there’s support I’ll add more things in soon too.

Please share and spread the word. Science is cool and so are you.

I'm a gut microbiome PhD and I LOVE what I do.

I would like to introduce you to one of your bacterial friends that live in your colon. (There are more of them than human cells in our entire body btw).

Everyone knows about the importance of gut health. But the WHY is the fun part.

One of the reasons these little guys are so beneficial and important for our health is that when they eat and consume our leftovers, they use these up for their own energy and produce alot of little molecules, much like their 💩.

Many of these molecules are hugely beneficial for our body, travelling to almost every other organ system and influencing everything from sleep, to mood, to inflammation and everything in between. Short chain fatty acids like butyrate are the heroes here.

However, they can also produce detrimental metabolites, especially when breaking down things like excess animal proteins, saturated fats and bile acids, so this is why I am so passionate about helping people See the big picture here. The human body is so beautifully complex, so we can't apply reductionist thinking to specific bacteria or 'hacks' and expect lasting results.
Yes, we can totally use our gut microbiome to improve our health and this is what I do every day. BUT, the real power is seeing the why for yourself and all the nuances relevant for your own life. It is so empowering knowing your body at this level.

You have an rainforest ecosystem on the inside. That is totally WOW! 🌱🧬

For a long time, we’ve been told that if nutrition feels hard, we just need to try harder.

But most women I work with aren’t lacking effort, they’re lacking support and clarity.

That’s why I run the Diet Decoder | Live Intensives:
small, live, women-only sessions where we slow things down and learn how to assess our OWN diet and understand our body in a calm, science-led way.

If you’re craving peace, confidence, and a steadier relationship with food and your body, you can read more here.
We start the next intake 12th Feb, and places are intentionally limited.
See you inside. :)

What fitness has taught me has got not much to do with training harder.
It’s mainly the importance of listening to my body. Knowing when I should and shouldn’t push my limits, which is a lot like how we should manage the rest of our health journey.

Thinking in this way has shaped the way I deliver and work with clients. and health

Food choices don’t happen in isolation

Gut symptoms are often about context, not just food.

We’ve never had more health information and yet people are more confused than ever.

I don’t normally do ‘recipes’ because my aim is to ‘teach you to fish’ so to speak, but this is so delicious and full of gut microbiome food + polyphenols. Quantities are estimates, food is best prepared by feel! (And love) ❤️

2 small sweet potatoes
1 onion

80g fresh Rocket
1 cup finely sliced red cabbage
Chopped semi dried tomatoes
Green olives to taste

Roast the sweet potatoes and onion in a drizzle of olive oil for 45 minutes or until lightly golden and delicious. Allow to cool for 30 minutes and then mix the rest. The juice from the semi dried tomatoes turns this into a decadent feast of a salad.

Happy eating, happy tummies

I’m running a live Diet Decoder intensive starting January 15.

This isn’t a diet, a meal plan, or a list of foods to cut out.
It’s about learning how to assess your own diet using the best of gut microbiome science so you can make decisions that actually make sense for your body and life.

We’ll look at:
• how the gut microbiome responds to food and context
• how to spot patterns (instead of labelling foods as “good” or “bad”)
• how to make changes that are sustainable, not restrictive

It’s three x small, live group, discussion-based, and designed for people who are done with diet noise and want clarity instead.

🗓 Starts Jan 15 [3 x sessions total over 3 weeks. LIVE.]
💰 $249 AUD
👥 Limited spots (keeping it intentionally small)

If this sounds like something you’ve been looking for, comment DIET below or send me a DM and I’ll send you the details.
