You can’t support your hormones on 1200 calories a day - your body simply can’t do what you’re asking it to do. ⚠️

✨ Comment HORMONES and I’ll send you my hormone-support meal guide.

Your HPO axis (the hypothalamus–pituitary–ovarian axis) is your hormonal command centre.
It’s constantly scanning for one thing: “Do I have enough energy to safely run a menstrual cycle?”

If the answer is no, your body will down-regulate ovulation long before it ever impacts your weight.

And here’s the part most women don’t know:
Your body needs a minimum of 1800–2000 calories per day just to maintain the hormonal groundwork for ovulation, progesterone production, stable blood sugar, and thyroid output.

1200 calories doesn’t do that.
It puts your body in survival mode, not hormone-producing mode.

So if you’re dealing with PMS, irregular cycles, low libido, fatigue, or trouble conceiving…it's time to look at your food intake.

When you eat enough, your hormones stabilise.
Your gut improves.
Your energy finally comes back.
And your cycle becomes predictable again.

You don’t need a detox… you need your body to actually move things out. ✨

Most of what people call “toxins” are things your liver and bowels are designed to clear every single day.

BUT when you’re constipated, under-eating, stressed, or not absorbing nutrients well, that whole system slows down.

So it’s not that you need celery juice, cleanses, or some overpriced supplement…
You need your liver doing its job and your bowels emptying properly.

If those two pathways aren’t working, nothing you “detox” is going anywhere.

And this is the part most people miss.

Before you spend a cent on supplements, fix the basics your body is literally begging for.

Too many women enter pregnancy already depleted… and the gap only widens postpartum.

Your body is like a bank account.

Every meal, supplement, and night of rest makes a deposit.
Every period, pregnancy, and sleepless night makes a withdrawal.

The problem?
Most women start pregnancy already in overdraft.

And when the body has to choose between you and your baby, it will always protect the baby first.
That’s why postpartum fatigue, hair loss, mood changes, and poor recovery are so common… they’re signs your reserves were already low before you began.

Prenatals can top up, but they can’t rebuild.
That work needs to happen before conception, by restoring your nutrient stores, supporting your gut, and balancing your hormones.

✨ This is exactly what my upcoming program - Deep Within: The Thrive Formula - is designed to help you do.
A step-by-step approach to rebuild your reserves and support true preconception health, pregnancy, and postpartum recovery.

🚀 Beta launch begins November 10th.
Spots are limited for early access.

Most women only start checking their bloods after they struggle to conceive or once they’ve actually conceived… but by then, it’s often too late.

If you want to thrive postpartum, the work starts long before you’re pregnant.

Comment ‘BLOOD TEST’ below and I’ll send you my full list of bloods to get from your GP.

Your blood tests are one of the most powerful tools to understand your nutrient status, thyroid function, inflammation, and metabolic health… all of which influence fertility, energy, mood, and recovery.

The problem?
Most standard GP panels miss the markers that actually matter.

So I’ve put together a free guide listing the essential tests I recommend all women run at least 6–12 months before conception.
These are the exact panels I use in clinic to uncover hidden deficiencies before they become problems in pregnancy or postpartum.

🩸 Comment “blood test” below and I’ll send it straight to your DMs.

Too many women enter pregnancy already depleted 🥱 and then wonder why postpartum recovery feels so hard.

The truth is, pregnancy doesn’t deplete you…it exposes what was already missing.
And by the time you see those two pink lines, your body’s been working overtime for months.

That’s why preconception nutrition isn’t just about “getting pregnant.”
It’s about setting up your body to carry, birth, and recover well and most importantly, to thrive postpartum.

When you go into pregnancy well-nourished, with strong iron stores, balanced thyroid function, stable blood sugar, and replete B vitamins, you’re giving yourself and your baby the foundation to thrive.

🩸 If you’re planning to conceive in the next 6–12 months, my Preconception Blood Test Guide breaks down the key markers to request, what they mean, and how to optimise them before pregnancy.
