You need to lay off intensive exercise and training for at least 24-48 hours, ideally even 72 hours., for blood tests results to be accurate 🩸 🤓

Who has been here? 😂
⁠
I’d say 90% of clients book in to see me at this point⁠
⁠
They’ve been told my their GP + Specialist that they’ve run all of the necessary blood tests/scans/procedures, and that they can’t find anything to explain their symptoms⁠
⁠
It is also becoming more common for clients to have been told their results revealed an underlying issue, but that there isn’t anything that can be done about (i.e. there are no medications to offer you)⁠
⁠
Or when I do review blood-tests of clients who were told they are normal, I regularly find their results are extremely sub-optimal, or the Pathology company has widened the reference range (due to the average person becoming more and more unhealthy)
⁠
The reality is that⁠
⁠
👉 Naturopaths & functional medicine practitioners look at reference ranges differently, we are looking for optimal ranges for you to thrive, not average levels for you to be considered ‘normal’ (which is not healthy or thriving)
⁠
👉 There are a wide range of more comprehensive tests to help uncover underlying causes that conventional medicine does not utilise, e.g. gut microbiome testing, small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) breath-testing, hair mineral + toxic metal analysis, food testing, salivary hormone testing to name a few⁠
⁠
👉 You may not have actually had *all* possible blood tests ordered to help uncover your issues - it is *extremely* rare that a client books in with copies of recent blood tests and they’be had everything assessed
⁠
When you’re frustrated and over being told that you should feel fine because everything looks ‘normal’ - this is the time to go all-in and consider other potential avenues of help and treatment⁠
⁠
I went through this myself - it took a leap of faith as I was just as skeptical as many others only just getting into this world, but I was desperate. And I’m now so grateful for what I discovered is possible 👌

This is a copy of a client’s recent blood test results—another case of persistently elevated bilirubin, brushed off as “not important.”

Every single week, I meet clients who either haven’t been told they have Gilbert’s syndrome or were told it’s nothing to worry about. And yet, they’ve spent years struggling with gut issues, hormonal imbalances, and mental health concerns without realizing how much this simple (but significant) genetic susceptibility plays role

Gilbert’s affects liver detoxification, which means it’s highly relevant to how your body processes hormones, clears toxins, and maintains balance in your gut and nervous system. Once clients understand this, things finally start making sense—they recognize their susceptibility, know what triggers them, and, most importantly, learn how to support their body properly.

If you’ve been told your bilirubin levels are “nothing to worry about” but still feel like something is missing in your health journey, it’s time to take another look!

Where do to start and who do you trust? Long video but hopefully worth the listen 🙏

I get asked all the time if, as a naturopath, I am “anti-doctors,” “anti-medicine” etc.

The answer to that question is no - I am not against medicine or doctors. Conventional medicine has led to incredible discoveries and life-saving practices.

I am however an advocate for *true* informed consent, which should mean:

👌 You have been given adequate information to make an informed decision - this includes their recommended treatment AND other treatment options that are available

👌 You have given consent without any undue pressure, coercion or manipulation

👌 Both the benefits AND risks of proposed treatments are fully explained and transparent

👌 You are given the respect of asking questions and choosing what you would like to do without shaming or coercion

I meet so many people who have been prescribed the oral contraceptive pill, antidepressants, sedatives, reflux medications, unnecessary antibiotics..without any of this kind of information being offered

At the end of the day, it is up to you to ask, do your research and listen to your intuition as the medical system is not geared towards individualised, patient-centred care that allows time and investigations outside of their paradigm. Risks unfortunately tend to be downplayed, or worse, even mentioned

ASK:

What are you suggesting? Why? How does it work in the body? Are there side effects? What can I do with dietary, lifestyle and natural medicine?

The answer to this question should be “plenty” - any physician who says ‘nothing’ is ignorant or simply misinformed. So many medications result in worse long-term outcomes, and there are so many non-invasive natural medicine interventions with a very low-risk profile

Hopefully in the future, we reach a stage where doctors will explain that yes there are many other options available, but it’s not my area of specialty so you should consult with a practitoner in this field.

Until then - always ask questions, get multiple opinions, learn about all of your options, and always remember that you have a choice. Any sign of coercion, shaming or manipulation (e.g. guilt tripping, fear-mongering) is an instant red flag for me 🔴 (by a doctor, or a naturopath)

For anyone who struggles to stay hydrated on busy days, I can confirm a useful strategy can be to buy a big glass jar cup from Kmart and a stainless steel straw. Makes drinking water, juice and iced teas/coffee a lot more appealing 🤓

Histamine intolerance and MCAS aren’t just about triggers — they’re about order. Stability first.

My thoughts moving into 2026: if there’s one piece of advice for anyone dealing with illness, mine would be to offer you these shifts in perspective 🙏

10/01/2026

Have you ever found yourself becoming the monster you’re fighting?

When we point a finger, judge, or condemn another group or person about anything (their behaviour, or views),it’s highly likely that we are invariably exhibiting that which we are judging (projecting)

We project onto others the parts of our selves that we don’t want to look at. A projection of the “bad” other, while we hold onto and demonstrate our “goodness” or virtuosness (virtue signalling)

I see this very often in the world of activism, including the “natural versus conventional medicine” dichotomy, where we can get caught out using the very same fear-mongering, black & white, polarising tactics of the paradigmn that we condemn.

Look at the v@x1ne debate-there are a wide spectrum of views and opinions, but on either end are two extremes who are both projecting the “bad” onto eachother, desperately trying to prove they’re “right,” and are both equally as afraid and despising of eachother. Without any nuance or context

If we find ourselves becoming enraged or upset at a particular issue (outrage culture) and are spending all of our energy focusing on this, we may be using it as an opportunity to project our unresolved pain onto something so that we don’t have to look at it within ourselves

It’s personally an ongoing practise of mine to stay informed of the truth of world events, but simultaneously not get sucked down the rabbit hole of over-focusing on how corrupt things are (especially in the world of medicine and healthcare).

If I find myself in this place, it’s a reminder to get back to my self-care rituals and focus on what I really want to experience (joy, purpose and connection).

A favourite quote of mine that I use as an ongoing practise and reminder to myself is

“Activism that is not foregrounded by self-care, is a distraction”

The more we prioritise our self-care and self-enquiry, and make the effort to proactively create joy in our lives and address our own inner trauma dimensions, the more curious and compassionate we become, we can enter into groups, movements and ideas from a place of authenticity and balance rather than projecting unresolved pain

Healing isn’t a protocol - it’s a lifestyle. Your life is the medicine.

Can’t earth/ground better than this! ⛰️

Ageing, genetics, and symptoms aren’t the barriers we think they are...our beliefs about them are.

Reframe the story, and healing becomes possible.
