Holistic Nutritionist providing women with nutritional support through all of life's stages

I’m Carmelle Robinson, Holistic Nutritionist with a Bachelor of Health Science in Nutritional Medicine – so you bet I know the body inside and out! I’m in love with the process of natural medicine because I help patients get to the root cause of their problems. I don’t just treat symptoms (that’s called a band-aid fix), I get down to the core issue of your symptoms and treat them accordingly. This is the most effective way to manage health conditions, for long term benefits. As a Holistic Nutritionist I look at all aspects of your health, not just diet and exercise, in order to gain a proper understanding of your health. Your health is my puzzle, and in order to put all of the pieces together, I ask a lot of questions about a broad range of topics including digestion, sleep, hormones, work, stress etc. Because health is individual, it is not generic – you are not the same as everybody else, you are your own person. This is why I treat everyone as an individual, and come up with a health plan to suit your specific needs. After a few years of practicing and helping a range of patients, I found my passion in women’s health. Women are often dismissed & overlooked when they present their concerns to their medical practitioners. I quickly realised that nutrition is an effective way to help support women’s health and as a result, have many happy women leaving my office.

Let me show you why I'm different.

Let me share my passion and knowledge with you.

I’m a Nutritionist with a holistic approach, the time to listen and knowledge that goes above & beyond the food pyramid.

Let me show you how to choose health and not diets. How to nourish not only your body, but your soul.

Let me submerge you in the power of holistic nutrition.

Iron infusions can be life changing when used at the right time - but they're not the whole answer! Understanding why your iron is low is the key to supporting your body to maintain iron naturally.

03/11/2025

If you’ve been taking iron supplements but your levels aren’t budging, there’s a good chance your body isn’t actually absorbing or using that iron properly.

Let’s dig into the science for a minute 👇

When food or supplements reach your stomach, stomach acid helps release the iron and convert it into an absorbable form. From there, it’s absorbed in the first part of the small intestine and carried into the bloodstream by a transporter. Once inside, it binds to transferrin for transport and is stored as ferritin.

But here’s the catch, a hormone called hepcidin controls this process. When inflammation (including from too much iron), infection, or stress raises hepcidin levels, your body blocks iron absorption entirely.

Low stomach acid, gut inflammation, or conditions like IBS or coeliac disease can also interfere with absorption, meaning your food or supplements may not be properly broken down, converted or absorbed into the bloodstream.

So even if you’re eating well or supplementing, your body might still not be getting the iron it needs.

And while supplements can play a role, they’re not the full solution. To truly rebuild your iron stores, you need to address the underlying cause - whether that’s gut health, inflammation or low intake.

✨ Want to understand why your iron isn’t improving and what to do about it?
I break it all down, including how to test properly, when to take supplements for best absorption, and the foods that actually help - in a blog I wrote for women struggling with their iron.

The weeks and months after birth are full of change - physically, emotionally and mentally. I've been there, the sleepless nights and the days blurring into nights is definitely something you don't forget!

Postpartum isn’t just about your baby, it's also about you - the Mama, and your mental wellbeing, your energy, your support system, your nutrition - all of it matters! That’s why preparing ahead can make a huge difference.

In this carousel, I share practical tips from my own experience as a mum of 2 and as a nutritionist, including:

✨ Building your support system
✨ Protecting your bubble and rest
✨ Easy nutrition
✨ Planning rest and emotional support

Exhaustion and fatigue do not have to be your default mood throughout your post partum.

💖 Save this post for your postpartum prep checklist and share it with a mum who you think might need this too!

Your postpartum healing journey matters!

Pregnancy and birth are incredible, but they also take an enormous toll on your body, physically, hormonally and emotionally. Your body has worked tirelessly to grow and deliver your baby and now it deserves the same care and attention.

Focusing on nourishment, rest and support in the early postpartum months will:
✨ Support physical healing, including your uterus, muscles and internal tissues
✨ Support energy and hormones that dropped dramatically after birth
✨ Support mental health and reduce the risk of postpartum depression, anxiety and emotional overwhelm
✨ Support milk production if you’re breastfeeding

Taking the time to recover now isn’t indulgent, it sets the foundation for your long-term health and wellbeing.

Simple tips I give to all pregnant mothers:

- Meal prep during pregnancy and stock pile your freezer
- Utilise your slow cooker
- Hydrate! Get a fancy water bottle that will encourage you to drink at least 2L
- Ensure you have a source of protein every time you eat
- Ask others to help you: Get your family & friends on board to stock your freezer.

If you’re looking for practical, easy-to-follow guidance, my Postpartum Meal Plan was designed because I've been there and I know exactly what a mother’s body needs to recover. Gentle, nutrient-dense meals to help you feel energised, nourished and supported in those critical early months. Nothing fancy, just uncomplicated Nutrition.

🌸 October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month 🌸

This year, October feels a little heavier for me. This time last year, my mum was diagnosed with breast cancer and underwent a mastectomy. It all happened very fast and I couldn't help but think, how did we get here? I knew that breast cancer was the most common cancer in women, but you never think it will be someone close to you, until it happens. Fortunately for my mum, the surgery went well and mum is completely cancer free 💗

Watching someone you love go through that brings a whole new perspective. It reminded me how powerful prevention and early detection are and how much our daily diet and lifestyle habits can quietly influence our breast and hormone health.

Every woman deserves to feel supported, informed and proactive about her breast health.

✨ Your hormones and breast tissue are connected. Supporting healthy oestrogen metabolism matters.
✨ Cruciferous vegetables (like broccoli, cauliflower, and kale) are rich in sulforaphane and indole-3-carbinol, which help your body detoxify and balance oestrogen.
✨ Colourful, antioxidant rich foods (like berries, turmeric, and green tea) can protect your cells from damage.
✨ Supporting your liver, gut, and lymphatic system through hydration, fibre, movement, and rest helps your body clear what it doesn’t need.

And of course, don’t forget your regular breast checks. Know your normal and book your screening when it’s due. And if something doesn't feel right, go and get it checked.

Early detection is key!

Blood sugar stability = better energy, mood, and patience (yes, really).

When you start your day with crumbs & coffee, your blood sugar spikes fast, then drops hard. So you reach for another coffee or a quick snack, and the same thing happens again. Soon the cravings, irritability, and brain fog moments hit. All of a sudden it's 3pm and you're thinking why could I go for a nap and 6 caramello koalas?

The good news? That's easy fixed, Balance every meal & eat consistently.
Think: protein, fibre, healthy fats and regular meals that actually keep you satisfied.

✨ Because when your blood sugar’s balanced, you are too ✨

5 Truths Everyone Needs to Hear!

I’m honestly tired of seeing unqualified influencers flooding social media with confusing, often harmful advice about food and health. Every scroll aims to leave you feeling guilty, overwhelmed, or exhausted trying to follow trends that don’t actually work for real life.

As a mum of two girls, that I know are too young for social media right now, but I don’t want them growing up thinking that these unrealistic, misleading messages are normal. I want them to see women’s health and food in a positive, balanced way, not measured by trends, detoxes, or celebrity hacks.

As a qualified Nutritionist, I know what actually supports your body, your energy, and your health. I know what works for busy mums juggling sleepless nights, toddlers, work, and life, and it’s rarely a one-size-fits-all “miracle fix.”

I want to drown out the noise. I want to share evidence-based truths about nutrition and wellbeing, practical, realistic advice you can actually use. Advice that helps you feel strong, nourished, and like yourself again.

If this resonates, share this post to help spread real, science-backed guidance and cut through the BS! Let’s make social media a place for helpful, trustworthy advice and not guilt, confusion, or harmful standards!

This Women's Health Week, let’s take a moment to prioritize ourselves and say YES to our health!

It can be easy to put off those essential health checks, thinking we’ll get to them “someday.” But today is the perfect day to take that step forward. Whether it’s scheduling your annual check-up, getting those blood tests done, or simply booking that appointment you’ve been avoiding, now is the time to put yourself first.

Remember, taking care of our health is a significant act of self-love. It’s not just about feeling good today, it’s about investing in our future. Every small step counts. You deserve to know how your body is doing, and those checks can provide valuable insights that help you lead a healthier life. Plus, they can catch issues before they become bigger problems. So, let’s commit to saying YES to ourselves and our health! 🌟

This is the story of one of my patients, who wanted me to share her experience with other women.

She’s a mum of four, completely exhausted, struggling to get through her days and not feeling quite herself.

Her GP's response? It's normal to feel tired when you have kids. (Also why is this always the default answer?!)

But something didn’t feel right. She trusted her instincts and pushed for blood tests anyway… and sure enough, her ferritin and vitamin D were abnormally low!

Unfortunately, this is something I hear far too often. Women, especially mothers, are dismissed when they express fatigue or other health concerns. Their symptoms are often minimized as “normal motherhood,” when in reality, the body is signalling something important that deserves attention.

Imagine if she didn't push for tests. She would continue to struggle and her symptoms would become more severe.

Your symptoms are not just part of life, your body is trying to tell you something important. You deserve to be seen, heard, and properly supported.

If this story resonates, remember: trust your instincts, speak up, and don’t settle for “just normal”. Support exists, and seeking help is the first step toward feeling like yourself again.

If you’re tired, overwhelmed, or feel like your symptoms are being dismissed, book a free 10-minute discovery call with me. Let's chat about how I can help support you, when it seems like no one else will.

Before you spend $150 on some ‘miracle’ supplement a celebrity recommends or shakes from the latest trendy wellness brand, let’s get real: most of your health wins come from the basics.

These basics are so underrated that people skip over them, chasing something shiny, drastic, or trendy. But if you don’t have these foundations nailed, nothing else is going to stick.

👉 Drink your water: 2–3L, not just a few sips here and there.
👉 Eat your veggies + fruit : 3 serves veg, 2 serves fruit = fibre, nutrients, happy gut.
👉 Protein at every meal and snack: it’s not just for gym bros, it’s for energy, hormones, mood.
👉 Healthy fats daily: think avocado, nuts, olive oil.
👉 Move your body: walking, dancing, twirling, lifting, whatever floats your boat.
👉 Sleep like a human: before 10:30pm if you want your hormones and energy to thank you.

Do these consistently and watch your energy, mood, digestion and hormones finally start shifting in the right direction.

✨ The rest? Totally optional.
✨ The basics? Non-negotiable.

And if you feel like you’ve “tried everything” without results… chances are you haven’t given these underrated foundations the attention they deserve. Start here. Trust the process. Be consistent and feel the difference.
