Creatine — I LOVE it.

And honestly… it’s so underrated.

Most people think of it as a “gym supplement”, but it’s actually one of the simplest, most researched ways to support your brain.

Especially if you’re feeling:
• mentally drained
• foggy
• like your brain just isn’t keeping up with your day

Creatine helps support brain metabolism and cognitive function —
which basically means better energy in your brain, not just your body. This is so important for us busy mums!

And the best part?

It’s cheap.
You can grab it from Coles or Woolworths.
And it’s completely unflavoured, which means you can just add it to your coffee or tea.

It is such an easy win. Let me know if you try it!

Perimenopause can feel like your body has suddenly changed the rules.

Mood swings.
Irritability.
Hot flushes.
Night sweats.
Brain fog that makes you walk into a room and forget why you went there.

And for many women, it can come with a real crisis of confidence. Studies show 1 in 10 women consider leaving work during perimenopause because of brain fog and cognitive changes. That’s huge.

The good news is this transition can absolutely be supported.

One of my first go-to supports in clinic is soy isoflavones.

These plant compounds gently interact with oestrogen receptors in the body, helping smooth some of the hormonal ups and downs that happen during this stage of life.

They can help to:
• Relieve mood swings and irritability
• Reduce hot flushes and night sweats
• Support bone health and maintain mineral density
• Support cardiovascular (heart) health
• Improve cognitive clarity and memory when brain fog hits
• Help relieve vaginal dryness

Many women also love that they can be fast acting, with changes often noticed within days.

They can also be safely taken alongside MHT (Menopausal Hormone Therapy), making them a really helpful option for many women.

I’ve just stocked soy isoflavones in the clinic, and if you’re in that perimenopause stage and feeling like your body has suddenly started working against you,
please know you don’t have to just push through it.

There is so much we can do to support your hormones, your brain, your energy and your confidence during this stage of life.

Come and see me and let’s get you feeling like yourself again!

Weekday lunches at our place lately… simple, nourishing and gut friendly.

One thing we love in this house is mayonnaise on just about everything — so I was very excited to find the Good Fat mayo at Coles made with olive oil instead of seed oils. 🙌

Such a small swap, but one that feels so much better when you’re trying to keep things as whole-food based as possible.

Lunches this week have been pretty simple:
• Cold rice (for that resistant starch our gut bugs love)
• A handful of veggies
• Either tuna or eggs for protein
• And of course… a good dollop of good fat mayo

When rice cools after cooking, it forms resistant starch, which feeds beneficial gut bacteria and supports gut health, a little microbiome win in an everyday lunch.

Simple food, good fats, and happy gut bugs is a win for me as a mum of 2 busy kids.

Introducing the newest member of our family, Alfie!

As we’ve been introducing foods to our little guy, I did what most people probably do, I grabbed a packet of “pet mince” from the supermarket.

Then I turned it over and read the ingredients.

Seed oil.

In mince. For a dog. Why??

I honestly had to read it twice. When you’re buying mince, you assume it’s just… mince. But many pet minces are bulked out with added fats and fillers, including cheap seed oils.

And it made me think, if we’re trying to feed our pets whole, nourishing foods, why add something so processed?

So now we’ve switched to a much cleaner option, where the ingredients are exactly what you’d expect: real meat, nothing unnecessary added.

If you’re feeding pet mince at home, it might be worth turning the packet over and having a quick look at the ingredient list.

I’ve linked both products here so you can compare them yourself. 👇

I’ve been trialling OEA with a few patients lately, and the results have been really interesting.

One patient in particular had been working with me for about 2 months. We had already started making some good progress with her nutrition and metabolic health, but the biggest shift happened when we introduced OEA.

In just 2.5 weeks she lost 3 kg.

Now, this wasn’t a magic pill situation. We had already laid the groundwork with diet, blood sugar support and lifestyle changes. But OEA seemed to help her body switch on the signals that regulate hunger and fat metabolism more effectively.

Research shows OEA works through several integrated pathways in the body:

• Stimulates GLP-1 activity, supporting satiety and blood sugar regulation
• Delays meal initiation and reduces meal size, helping people feel satisfied for longer
• Enhances fatty acid uptake and lipolysis, encouraging the body to burn fat for energy
• Modulates dopamine and endocannabinoid signalling, reducing reward-driven overeating

Another area where this is becoming really interesting is supporting people coming off GLP-1 medications.

Because OEA can help continue suppressing excessive hunger, it may help extend the benefits once the weekly injection window passes, supporting appetite regulation while the body readjusts.

It’s early days, but the gut-brain-metabolism connection here is fascinating.

And it’s a great reminder that sometimes the body just needs the right signals switched back on.

Please DM me if you have questions or want more info,

This is one of my families favourite and easiest meals.

Chicken Korma Tray Bake!

It has protein in the chicken, fibre in the butter beans, and simple veggies for nutrients and fibre as well.

It's loosely based off this recipe here: https://www.pataks.com.au/recipes/chicken-korma-tray-bake/

Let me know if you give it a try!!

Today, Sunday 8th March, is International Women’s Day.

Today I want to acknowledge the doctors who had the courage to speak up for women who were subjected to unnecessary and invasive surgeries by a surgeon in Melbourne.

One doctor said:

“I'm scared that me speaking up could potentially be career-ending. It could impact my practice and it could lead to isolation from my colleagues and from the greater medical community.
Yet I speak up today because it is the right thing to do for the patients that cannot speak.”

Those words are powerful.

Because this situation represents a heartbreaking failure of healthcare systems to protect women’s bodies, voices and reproductive futures.

Women deserve to be listened to.
Women deserve transparency in their healthcare.
Women deserve practitioners who act with integrity and courage.

And sometimes that courage looks like professionals speaking up, even when it’s difficult, so that patients are protected.

Thank you to the doctors who chose to do the right thing.

There’s been a big rise in “ancestral” or “primal” nutrient powders lately.

They’re often marketed as a natural way to boost things like iron, energy or overall nutrition.

But here’s the thing that concerns me.

These powders are considered food products, not therapeutic supplements. That means they are not regulated or tested through the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) in the same way practitioner supplements are.

And that matters for a few reasons.

• They are not always tested for heavy metals or contaminants that can be present in organ-based powders.
• The actual mineral content can vary from batch to batch.
• There is no guarantee of how much iron or other nutrients you’re getting per serve.

When someone is trying to correct something like low iron, guessing the dose isn’t ideal.

In clinic we want to know:
✔️ Exactly what the product contains
✔️ Exactly how much of the nutrient you’re taking
✔️ That it has been tested for safety and quality

Just because something is labelled “natural” or “ancestral” doesn’t automatically mean it’s the safest or most effective option.

This is why these powders aren’t something I recommend in clinic.

When we’re supporting the body nutritionally, quality, testing and accuracy matter.

When I choose supplements for my clients, I don’t guess.
And I don’t just go by what’s trending.

One of the reasons I feel confident using Give Back Health is because of the strict testing standards we have here in Australia.

In Australia, supplements are regulated by the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA). That means ingredients, manufacturing processes and quality controls aren’t optional, they’re monitored.

That matters.

Because when a product is:
✔️ Properly formulated
✔️ Properly dosed
✔️ Properly tested

and you take the right dose, for the right amount of time, for the right person, the results can be amazing.

Not overnight miracles, but steady, noticeable shifts:
• Better energy
• Calmer moods
• Improved digestion
• Clearer thinking

Supplements aren’t magic pills.
They’re tools, and when used correctly, they can genuinely change how you feel day to day.

Quality matters.
Dosage matters.
Consistency matters.

Which is why Give Back Health products have my tick of approval.

Hot take for Saturday sport 👇

Most kids don’t need a sports drink like Gatorade after a 45-minute game.

They need water.

Sports drinks are designed for adult endurance athletes.
They contain refined sugar, artificial colours (like 102, 129, 133), flavours and preservatives.

For some kids, those additives can contribute to:
• energy spikes + crashes
• hyperactivity
• tummy upsets
• eczema flares

Now compare that to:

🍓 Fruit
🥥 Date balls
🌰 Nuts & seeds

Natural sugars + fibre = steadier energy
Minerals like potassium + magnesium
No synthetic dyes
No neon tongue

Small swap, but a very big difference for growing bodies.

Here are some simple and tasty pre and post sport snacks for kids, filled with the nutrition they actually need!

Homemade date balls – blend in a food processer medjool dates, raw nuts of choice, cacao powder, nut butter, coconut oil, desiccated coconut and then roll in more desiccated coconut

Fruit – Grapes, apples, banana, dates

Smoothie - banana, protein/collagen powder (ask me for recommendations) frozen fruit, nuts and milk of choice

Stay tuned for my next post where I compare these healthy sports snacks to powerade, which we see given at so many kids sporting events and activities.
