IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) is often diagnosed when other digestive diseases have been ruled out, yet symptoms like bloating, abdominal pain, constipation or diarrhoea can still persist.

There can be many underlying drivers of IBS including post-infectious IBS after food poisoning, anxiety-related digestive changes, bacterial overgrowth in the gut, food intolerances, allergies, or even conditions such as endometriosis affecting the bowel.

Understanding the true cause of symptoms is the first step toward restoring digestive balance.

If you’re struggling with ongoing digestive discomfort, reach out to Tanya, Founder & Naturopath to learn how naturopathic care may support you.

Easter is a beautiful time to slow down, reconnect, and listen to your body.

Amid the celebrations, remember to nourish yourself, rest when needed, and support your wellbeing in ways that feel good for you.

If your health has been on your mind, this could be the perfect time to take that first step.

So, the first day of 2026 is here….

A new year always gives us a sense of a fresh start, a new beginning. I am always reminded at this time that life is precious and there are many things in this world that can sabotage our personal goals for health & wellbeing, for true contentment.

As a naturopath I see first hand the things in life that threaten our happiness when I support individuals committed to being a healthier and happier version of themselves.

Some beautiful areas in your life to do more of as 2026 commences might include:
More “you time”
Quality time spent with those you love
A conscious effort to eat more fresh produce
Gratitude for the simple things you have
Weekly early morning weekend walks in nature to reclaim a calm mind & healthy body
Yin yoga to centre the mind & be in the present moment
Daily exercise that you enjoy
Time throughout the year to restore & rejuvenate- weekends away, monthly massage, weekend drives out of the city

I see so many of us focus on financial goals, accumulating wealth goals, the biggest house, the biggest bank account, study goals, career goals. Social media is full of people showing off their achievements in these areas. But is this true wealth?

How about “nurturing self” focus in 2026 as a priority…. book a consultation in the new year for support to thrive in 2026

Wishing you all a peaceful, joyful and calm start to 2026.

This time of year invites us to rest, reconnect, and honour our bodies to carry us through every day.

Wishing you a gentle, nourishing Christmas filled with moments of calm and care 🎄

A NATUROPATH’S GENTLE REMINDER TO RECLAIM YOUR ENERGY OVER THE HOLIDAY SEASON TO AVOID BURNOUT?

Hi, I am Tanya, Naturopath and Founder of Performance in Health Wellbeing clinic located in Stanmore: Inner West Sydney, Leura: Blue Mountains & telehealth. I am writing this post today because I am supporting more and more people in my clinic with Burn-out and many more that are moving towards this state at a rapid speed.

Xmas holiday break can be the perfect opportunity to restore and rejuvenate so that 2026 begins with a positive mind set and a relaxed and nurtured body. On the other hand, it can also be a time where burn out is worsened due to too many social commitments, not enough time to self, inadequate exposure to nature, bad dietary choices and much more. Do not sabotage 2026 if you are feeling the signs of burnout now.

Burnout is when you reach a state of mental, emotional & physical exhaustion. Whilst prolonged and excessive stress is a huge component of it, I often find that it is “a perfect storm” of chronic life stress worsened by lack of sleep, bad diet, and excessive demands on you as a person.

It is not something that appears overnight. It is a sneaky, slow & consistent process, often subtle in its warning signs however, if ignored can cause breakdowns of both body & mind. Burnout can feel like you are emotionally drained, overwhelmed and lack the energy, motivation, and desire to keep meeting the constant demands of your life.

Causes of burnout can be diverse. It is important that you recognize the signs and reach out for support. Here is some educational support for those that resonate with this post https://www.performanceinhealth.com.au/2023/02/21/reclaiming-your-energy-and-motivation/
and if you feel that a naturopathic appointment now or in the New Year would be helpful for your wellbeing goals please book an appointment. I am degree qualified and Winner of the ATMS Australian clinic of the year in Natural Medicine, 2021.

Now one might say that as a naturopath, I am not going to have people come to see me who are feeling restored, motivated and energetic and that is true. However, what I am experiencing is a huge increase in the number of people booking naturopathic consultations who are completely exhausted weeks in...

As of next week, I’m now open Thursday’s for naturopathic consultations from this gorgeous little historically listed cottage on Grose street Leura, a short stroll from Leura Mall. The owner of Physiopoint Physiotherapy kindly offered to put my sign under his on the front lawn even though I’m only in Leura on a Thursday. It’s a real gift to be treated with such kindness. So, my schedule is now Tuesdays & Fridays in Stanmore very early until late, Wednesdays telehealth and Thursdays in the Blue Mountains. My wellbeing clinic in Stanmore village is now home to eight experienced mental health practitioners including clinical psychologists, psychotherapy, social work, counselling, offering support with anxiety, depression, grief & bereavement, relationship counselling, living with pain, addictions, trauma and more. Here is the sign at Leura & the mental health practitioner’s I work alongside in Stanmore, should people seek support.

RECIPE OF THE WEEK:

KING PRAWN, GARLIC, LEMON & CHILLI GLUTEN FREE SPAGHETTI

I love a yummy pasta dish! As someone intolerant to gluten and dairy, eating any kind of pasta dish can be particularly difficult.

This recipe is a favourite in my home as it really is a party pleaser for a few reasons. Firstly, it’s so easy! Secondly, only a few ingredients are needed with minimal chopping.

Thirdly, it’s delicious.

For so many people experiencing digestive issues or people with sinus, autoimmune, acne & more, eliminating dairy and gluten can be a game-changer. If this is you, this recipe is for you.

And people who don’t have these sensitivities will love it too.

I hope you enjoy this recipe, which has been inspired by authentic Sicilian chefs.

Buon appetito

Going gluten free was initially quite traumatic in the early days for me when quality gluten free products were rarely available.  All I saw was the endless list of things I had to give up.  Now, it is so easy to substitute a favourite ingredient for a gluten free version and enjoy the meals that ...
