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.

Dear Santa, we aren't asking for much.

Less stuff.

More energy.

More time to sit down and actually rest.

And maybe a spa day where we don't have to organise the logistics of a babysitter?? Please and thank you.

Tag someone who needs to forward this straight to Santa 🎅

✨ Christmas & New Year Hours ✨

I’ll be taking a well deserved break over the festive season to slow down, reset my nervous system and spend quality time with my family 💚

📅 Last office day: 22nd December
📅 Back in the office: 19th January

During this time, I’ll be fully offline — no emails, no DMs, no “just a quick question” 😅 BUT don’t worry… my usual content will still be showing up thanks to the magic of pre-scheduling ✨

And you might catch a few story snaps from my time off too 🏕 😎🌻

📍Thrive Chiropractic & Health Clinic:
The clinic will be open, excluding public holidays. Appointments for 2026 can be prebooked by calling 51 74 22 69. Our lovely receptionists can help you with all your questions too.

Online bookings will reopen in 2026.

💧 HydraMama:
Available for purchase through the clinic while I’m away.

I’m really looking forward to helping and supporting more women on their health journeys in the new year. You can’t pour from an empty cup — so I’ll be refilling mine while I'm away and I hope you get the chance to fill yours too!

How does a Nutritionist eat over Christmas? With balance, mindfulness, and zero interest in feeling guilty, bloated, tired or hangry!!

And yes, I loooove festive food. Being half Filipino, celebrating with food is non-negotiable in my world.

Mindful eating over Christmas means enjoying the food and feeling good afterwards.

That’s the goal 🎄✨ 💚

Every January I watch the same thing happen.

Women are told they need fixing.

Challenges appear.

Detoxes are marketed as “health.”

And somehow restriction is sold as discipline.

But if a plan effects your mental health, it’s not supporting your body — it’s overriding it.

You don’t need miracle supplements, detoxes or the latest fad diet.

And you definitely don't need to turn your entire life upside down.

What most women actually need in January is support: enough food, steady energy, better sleep, actually resting and nutrition that fits around real life.

Health isn’t built in extremes, it’s built in small habits over time.

And the same body, better supported (and nourished) will always take you further than fads ever will.

Looking for personalised support in 2026?

Call reception on 51 74 22 69 to book your appointment today.

Your iron results are more than a ferritin number, they’re a full story about how well your body is making, moving and using iron.

This carousel breaks down your Iron Report Card so you can finally understand what each marker actually means for your energy, hormones, mood, and day-to-day wellbeing:

• Hepcidin – Your iron “gatekeeper.” When it’s high (stress, inflammation, big iron doses), it blocks absorption.
• Iron (serum iron) – A snapshot of the iron circulating in your blood at that given moment that is available to use.
• Transferrin – The protein that picks iron up and transports it around your body.
• Transferrin Saturation – How much iron is actually on board. Low levels mean there’s not enough getting delivered.
• Ferritin – Your storage tank. Low stores = fatigue, brain fog, dizziness, and feeling flat.
• Haemoglobin – Your oxygen carrier. When this drops, you feel it everywhere.

Understanding each of these explains why symptoms show up long before anaemia and why women can feel exhausted even when most of the markers are “within range". This is why it's so important to get a full Iron Panel tested, NOT just Ferritin alone.

📌 Save this for your next blood test.

If your iron has been low for a while or you’re still feeling wiped out, you can book a consultation through the link in my bio and we’ll go through your results together.

Just because your results come back "within range" doesn't mean that it's the optimal range for you!

It’s not as simple as “just take an iron supplement.” So many women are told this and then wonder why they still feel exhausted, foggy, dizzy or flat even after months on iron.

The truth is: iron digestion and absorption are influenced by so many factors: inflammation, stress, gut health, postpartum recovery, timing and even how often you take it.

And the type of iron matters more than most people realise. Some forms absorb beautifully with minimal symptoms whilst
others barely absorb at all and leave you constipated, nauseous and still depleted.

If your iron supplement hasn’t worked for you, you’re not alone! Swipe through to find out how I rate common and popular iron supplements.

Feeling more tired than you should be?
Your iron levels might be quietly asking for attention, especially if you’re in one of these groups that are more susceptible to iron deficiency:

✔️ Pregnant or postpartum
✔️ Heavy periods, endometriosis, adenomyosis or fibroids
✔️ Vego/vegan/plant based diet
✔️ Living with chronic illness
✔️ Gut issues like H. pylori, coeliac, IBS, IBD or you've had gastric surgery
✔️ Feeling constantly exhausted (even after “rest”)

Iron is one of the first things I look at when a woman tells me she feels flat, foggy and exhausted. Low iron affects everything from your energy, mood, focus, hormones, sleep and ability to show up each day.

You don’t have to keep guessing why you feel this way. And you don’t have to navigate blood tests alone.

If you want clarity about your iron, book a free 10-minute discovery call (link in bio).

I’ll walk you through:
• what blood tests you actually need
• what the reference ranges mean (and why they can be misleading)
• what optimal iron levels really look like for women

A simple chat can help steer you in the right direction and get you feeling like you again! What are you waiting for?

These are the blood tests I look at with postpartum mums to help them restore their energy and feel like themselves again. These are the tests that should be done at 6 weeks and 6 months post birth.

Your symptoms matter. Your healing matters. And you deserve more than a quick check-up - these blood tests will help reveal where you need support.

Need help navigating post partum? I'm your gal 🙋🏽‍♀️

This Perinatal Mental Health Week, let this be your gentle reminder: you don’t have to carry everything on your own.

Motherhood, from preconception through postpartum is a season filled with joy, change, vulnerability and enormous pressure. If things feel heavy, if you’re overwhelmed or if you’re not feeling like yourself, there is nothing wrong with you. You deserve care, compassion and real support.

Reaching out for help is not a sign of weakness, it’s a sign of being human. And you’re allowed to be held, supported and heard.

You don’t have to walk this alone. If you're in Australia and you need support through conception, pregnancy and early parenthood you can contact the resources in slide 2.

If you're local to me, reach out and I will DM support available to you in our area.

It's ok to not be ok. Remember you're not alone, help is always available.

MTHFR gets a LOT of attention in the fertility space and this information just scratches the surface of the basics. There’s so much more to consider, including your homocysteine levels, overall methylation capacity, nutrient status and your unique fertility picture.

So what is MTHFR?

The MTHFR gene provides instructions for making an enzyme that activates folate into its usable form (5-MTHF).

Some people carry natural variations, often called polymorphisms or mutations, that make this enzyme work a little (or a lot) slower.

This can influence how well the body methylates, processes folate, regulates hormones, supports egg & foetal development and prepares for early pregnancy.

The two most common MTHFR gene variants are:
• C677T
• A1298C

Many women carry one or both of these and for some, they can influence how effectively the body activates folate.

Here’s what we do know:

👉 MTHFR variants are common
👉 Not everyone with a variant experiences issues
👉 But reduced MTHFR activity can influence folate activation, hormone balance, implantation and early foetal development

And this is why the type of folate you take matters.

Women with MTHFR variants often respond better to active folate forms like 5-MTHF or folinic acid, not folic acid which relies heavily on MTHFR for activation. But it's important to know which type is best for your individual needs.

Testing isn’t essential for everyone, but it can be helpful if you’ve experienced:
• Early losses
• Unexplained fertility struggles
• Elevated homocysteine
• Fatigue or low mood
• A family history of MTHFR SNPs or neural tube defects

✨ If you want clarity on your own folate needs, fertility or MTHFR status, my 1:1 care helps you understand exactly what your body needs without the overwhelm. Book your FREE discovery call to ask me how my services can support you ✨

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.
