Three things we would never recommend for someone with ME/CFS.
Starting a supplement protocol without addressing nervous system regulation at the SAME time. Your autonomic nervous system controls digestion, immune function and detox pathways. If it’s stuck in survival mode nothing downstream works properly.
Pushing through a crash. That’s not building resilience. That’s reinforcing the threat signal your nervous system is already stuck in.
Accepting “it’s all in your head” as an answer. ME/CFS is a neuro-immune condition. And it requires a neuro-immune approach.
This is exactly what we address in our NeuroWell program. We’re enrolling now for Term 2. If you’re ready to stop guessing and start addressing the real mechanism, tap the link in our bio to fill in an enquiry form for details.

If you’re constantly reacting, avoiding, and trying to “figure it out” on your own — it’s not surprising you feel stuck.

Environmental sensitivities aren’t something you solve through trial and error alone.

They need structure, guidance, and the right support.

That’s why we created our Stuck → Stable program — now delivered in a guided group format to help you move forward with clarity (not confusion).

You don’t have to keep guessing. Book in for a Welcome Appointment via our website (link in bio) to see if this is a fit for you.

Perimenopause weight gain isn’t about willpower it’s biology. ✨

As estrogen shifts, your metabolism changes: cravings rise, energy dips, and stubborn belly fat appears. A big part of this is your GLP-1 pathway, the hormone system that regulates appetite, blood sugar, and fat burning.

When estrogen drops, GLP-1 weakens too. That’s why what used to “work” for weight loss… suddenly doesn’t.

The good news? You can support GLP-1 naturally. 🧬💪

The GLP Kickstart Program is a 4-week plan designed for women in perimenopause to:
✅ Re-activate GLP-1 naturally
✅ Reduce cravings & balance blood sugar
✅ Support lean muscle for long-term metabolism
✅ Feel more in control of your body again

Perimenopause doesn’t have to be a metabolic trap.
This is your chance to reset, recharge, and take back your metabolism.

Listen to Steph & her story of navigating MECFS -
“I’m honoured to share my story where I was diagnosed with ME/CFS at 17, I struggled with fatigue, brain fog, and misdiagnoses & mistreatment from the medical community for years. Today, as a naturopath & functional medicine practitioner I use my personal journey to guide others facing similar challenges.”

In this episode of Between Clinical Minds S4, I discuss the holistic strategies that helped me regain my health—immune support, nutrient therapies, reducing toxic load, and lifestyle adjustments.

The Gut Case You Won’t Believe – When ‘Normal’ Tests Miss the Real Problem

💩 Chronic diarrhea. Urgency up to 6x a day. Sulfur-smelling stools.
🩺 Standard medical stool test? “Nothing wrong.”
🔬 Functional stool test? Revealed the real problem.

This patient was told their gut was “fine” because no parasites or pathogens showed up on routine testing. But their symptoms were real and life-altering.

🚨 What we found with advanced stool testing:
✅ Dysbiosis – an imbalance of bacteria disrupting digestion
✅ Low beneficial bacteria – missing microbes needed for gut function
✅ Excess sulfur-producing bacteria – leading to foul-smelling, irritating stools

📢 And this isn’t just one case – we see this ALL the time.

💡 If you’re struggling with chronic gut issues but keep being told “everything is normal”—it’s time to look deeper.
