“Wait… what does gluten have to do with seizures? 🤯🍞⚡️”

Research shows coeliac disease is more than twice as common in people with epilepsy compared to the general population, and for some, undiagnosed gut issues can be a missing piece of the puzzle.

This does not mean gluten is the cause of every seizure.

But it does mean we need to zoom out and look at the gut–brain–immune connection, not just the brain in isolation.

If you’re a parent sitting there thinking,
“Why has no one talked to us about this before?”, you are exactly who I created my Epilepsy Masterclass for.

Inside, I walk you through:
✅ Potential drivers of epilepsy (including gut + nutrient factors)
✅ Key tests & deficiencies to know about
✅ Evidence-based nutrition + lifestyle supports to discuss with your team

🎥 On-demand, low cost, watch at your own pace.

You don’t have to piece this together alone.

If you’re new here, hi, I’m Sonya ☀️

And if you’ve been here a while, thank you for being part of this space.

I found my way into this work the hard way. When my daughter was diagnosed with severe epilepsy, medication alone wasn’t working, the side effects were overwhelming, and we were thrown into the world of ketogenic diets, medicinal cannabis and endless appointments.

I started researching out of sheer necessity, trying to understand how to support her body, her brain and her quality of life alongside her medical team.

That experience shaped everything I do now.

Today, I support families who are navigating the same fears, questions and frustration I once felt, especially the parents who are told what medication to take, but not how to support their child’s nutrition, nutrient status, appetite, sleep, behaviour or long-term health.

If you’re in that boat, you’re in the right place. You’re not alone, and I'm here to support and guide you through this journey.

I’m glad you’re here.

A little reminder for the festive season. Save this for when the guilt creeps in.

You can continue your child’s dietary interventions through Christmas… but you can also take the pressure off and enjoy the season.

One meal, one party, one treat doesn’t “undo” the progress you’ve made.

What matters most is the overall pattern.

Nourishment, blood sugar balance, sleep, calm nervous systems, and routines that feel doable for your family.

Some food-environment supports that can help:
✨ Offer protein + fibre before parties to reduce sugar crashes
✨ Bring a familiar, safe snack or treat your child enjoys
✨ Choose 1–2 things they’re excited to have and let that be okay
✨ Hydration, movement and sleep are just as important as the food
✨ Remember: connection and joy support their nervous system too

You’re doing your best in a season that’s intense for everyone.

A little sneak peek of where Paediatrics in Practice 2026 is happening… and honestly, I couldn’t be more excited 🤍✨

When I imagined this event, I knew I wanted a venue that felt as inspiring as the content - a space practitioners would walk into and instantly feel grounded and ready to absorb everything.

This is it.

If you’re coming along, get ready - the vibe is next-level.

When everything finally slows down at Christmas, it can feel like the hard stuff gets louder.

Routines change, sugar creeps up, bedtimes drift out… and suddenly sleep is unsettled, behaviour is more intense, and you’re left feeling touched out, guilty and completely out of ideas.

If that’s you right now, I see you. Trust me, I've been there.

You’re not a “bad parent” and your child is not “being difficult”, their nervous system, gut and blood sugar are under extra pressure, and that often shows up as big feelings, clinginess, meltdowns and broken sleep.

You don’t have to figure it all out on your own. With the right guidance, we can use simple nutrition shifts and carefully chosen supplements to support calmer evenings, more stable moods and more restorative sleep, without perfection or rigid rules.

I am so excited to share my latest event with you all 🎉

So many of the children I see in clinic are struggling with complex, overlapping issues, allergies, eczema, gut problems, neurodiversity, behavioural challenges, and I know so many practitioners feel called to help, but also worried about “getting it wrong”.

That’s why I created the Paediatrics in Practice 2026 Summit.

A full day in Sydney dedicated to giving naturopaths and nutritionists practical, up-to-date tools to confidently support kids in clinic.

Across the day we’ll be diving into topics like:
🌱 Allergies & food sensitivities
🧫 The paediatric microbiome
🧠 PANS & neuroinflammation
🥦 Nutrition foundations for kids
⚡ ADHD and nervous system support
…plus so much more.

You’ll be learning from some of the practitioners I personally admire most , , .activated.

I’ll be there alongside them, sharing the frameworks and insights I use every day in practice.

And this is just the beginning - we’ve got more incredible paediatric practitioners joining the line-up soon, so keep an eye out for announcements 👀

If you’ve been wanting to do more paediatric work but haven’t felt fully equipped yet, this day is for you.
📅 Saturday 20th June, 2026 - Saltbox, Redfern Sydney

If your child has been diagnosed with epilepsy and you feel overwhelmed, confused and a bit terrified… you’re not alone 💜

Over 14 years ago, my daughter was diagnosed with epilepsy and I have been exactly where you are now.

Googling late at night.
Tying to understand medications, diets, test results.
What any of it means for your child’s future.

Out of that journey, and the hundreds of families I’ve since supported in clinic, I created my Epilepsy Masterclass - a low-cost, on-demand class to help you feel more informed and empowered alongside your neurology team.

Inside the masterclass we walk through:
✨ Potential drivers of epilepsy
✨ Common vitamin & mineral deficiencies (and what to do about them)
✨ Medication interactions + ways to support side effects
✨ Functional tests no one has properly explained to you
✨ Dietary strategies (including keto-style approaches) to support quality of life

It weaves together evidence-based information, clinical experience and my own lived experience as a mum so you don’t have to piece it all together alone.

Only $39.95 AUD

If you’re ready to move from “I have no idea where to start” to
“I have a clearer roadmap and better questions to ask”, this masterclass is for you.

Fellow practitioners! What are your thoughts on AI and how it will impact our businesses, are clients chucking their symptoms in to AI and hoping for the best?

Personalised care, HUMAN care and the power of our interpersonal connection and relationship is where I see the patients get the most ‘healing’ from.

For patients. Don’t rely on a robot to see the whole you, yes it may provide some guidance, but a Practitioner can hold the space.

A list of supplements spat out by ChatGPT does not replace a kind ear, a confidant, health coach or advocate!

Let’s discuss!

I absolutely love seeing the before & afters of stool testing, and so do my clients. The test results back up how they are feeling and really showcases the amazing work my clients have done to repair their gut (and often banish a myriad of other symptoms too).

And what is making me even more excited is that my preferred stool test has had a reduction in price and now sitting pretty under $500!!

Now this is perfect either if you haven't had one done yet, or you've been eager to do your follow up test.

You don't need to live with constipation and bloating! Testing to find out exactly what we are dealing with is the fastest way to get your body back into balance without ongoing trial and error.

By working on your gut, you’re working on your whole body. Book in today at sonyareynolds.com.au or DM me and we can get you started!

I am absolutely loving using creatine at the moment, and have been diving deep into the research around the key benefits, restrictions and myths surrounding it.

Here are a few FAQs that I am asked about the most.

ALSO, in a few days I’ll be sending out a newsletter all about creatine so if you are not on my newsletter list please jump on now so you can receive it!

Conscious living is part of nutrition for me.

That’s not to say I am a purist, but what’s in our environment can be absorbed through our digestion, skin and the air we breathe. We need to be able to remove, reduce and eliminate these toxins for optimal wellbeing - think of fat loss resistance, brain fog, learning and behavioural issues, seizures plus more!

I recently undertook training with the MINDD foundation and the biggest issue for our generation and the generations after are the microplastics.

Now these plastics are starting to absorb into many organs of our bodies. A recent study found that a person may have up to a spoon's worth of microplastics in the brain!!

And it's not just plastics. Other environmental toxins like heavy metals, mould, chemicals and pesticides in our environment and in our food (including flavours and additives) are a constant fight for our body.

The great news is that tiny, consistent and intentional actions can have a huge impact on our bodies, our cells and our environment. What is one action you're going to take?
