It’s 10:47pm and your hormones are begging you to stop scrolling!

I get it, it’s easy to ‘switch off’ and fall into a black hole but while you might think you’re winding down… your hormones are gearing up.

Your body loves rhythm. Darkness. Calm. Predictability. Not bright screens and mental stimulation at 11pm.

Try this instead: dim the lights, put your phone down 30–60 minutes before bed, stretch, read, breathe. Boring? Maybe. Hormone-friendly? Very.

Your future self (and your nervous system) will thank you. 🌙

🎾 Summer of Tennis - Brisbane International 🎾

Bit late but here is my summary of my epic summer of Tennis January 26.
We went to the family day at the Brisbane International with another family which was a fabulous and full day. None of the kids wanted to leave when the special Ks were playing doubles at night.

I went back with girlfriends, and then a third night match with hubby. There may have been Aperol spritz involved too! They had a 100% gluten free food truck that had great food options for all of my visits!

Tennyson is such a great Tennis venue as you can get close to watch top players on the practice courts or just walking past like my snap of Medvedev (lucky he's so tall).

Bucket list is to go to Melbourne one year for the AO! This week I'm having tennis withdrawal now it's all wrapped up🤪

I’m not hungry in the morning… I just have coffee.” If I had a dollar for every time I heard this in clinic 👀

For so many women, coffee becomes breakfast not because it’s quick and easy but because their body isn’t sending strong hunger signals first thing. Often this links back to stress hormones, blood sugar swings overnight, or digestion that hasn’t fully switched on.

When the body is in go-mode, caffeine feels easier than food. This is where we look at the bigger picture of what might be going on:

Support might include:
• calming the stress response so hunger cues can return
• balancing blood sugar so mornings feel more stable
• improving digestion so your body is actually ready for food
• gently reintroducing easy, protein-rich morning options

The goal isn’t to take away your coffee, it’s to help your body not run on it.

Because you deserve steady energy, balanced hormones, and a nervous system that isn’t powered by caffeine alone.

Perimenopause or ‘Peri’ is the phase before menopause (4-10 years *yes sorry*) when hormones, especially oestrogen and progresterone, begin to fluctuate - causing an array of different symptoms. For most women, peri begins in their late 30s to mid 40s.

Common symptions include:

• Irregular or heavier periods
• Low energy
• Your usual diet/exercise suddenly stops “working”
• Your b***s are sore one month and not the next
• Mood changes or increased irritability
• Hormonal breakouts/skin changes

Essentially, your ovaries are running out of eggs, and instead of hormone levels gently fading… they surge and crash unpredictably:

So one week you might have:
⬆️ High estrogen → sore breasts, heavy period, anxiety
Then suddenly:
⬇️ Low estrogen → hot flushes, dry skin, low mood, poor sleep

So no, you’re not losing your mind, your hormones are changing and your body is learning a new rhythm.

And with the right support (sleep, nervous system care, nutrition, movement, stress management), you can feel steady again.

Naturopathy recognises that the body has an inherent ability to establish, maintain, and restore health.

And I truly believe this.

Your body isn’t “broken” it’s constantly communicating with you.

Symptoms are often signs that something is out of balance and your body is asking for support… not silence. As a naturopath, my job isn’t to override your body, it’s to work with it to uncover what’s driving the imbalance and help you rebuild the foundations of real, sustainable health.

If you’ve done the rounds of calorie counting, cutting carbs, “being good Monday–Friday” and still feeling stuck… this is for you.

Metabolic Balance isn’t built on trends or generic meal plans. It’s a clinically designed, personalised nutrition program created specifically for your body using your blood work + health history to map out what you need for your metabolism to function properly again.

Think:�
✔️stable blood sugar
�✔️reduced cravings�
✔️improved energy�
✔️better digestion�
✔️easier weight release �
✔️hormones that feel supported

Your plan is based on your unique markers and gives you structure and clarity around food, with real strategy behind it.

This is about rebuilding trust with your body, nourishing it properly, and creating lasting change. Amanda 💫

Let’s clear something up: just because it’s common doesn’t mean it’s normal.

Women are so often taught to accept symptoms like fatigue, bloating, painful periods, mood swings and intense PMS as “part of being a woman” but those symptoms are your body communicating with you.

If you’re ready for support, bookings are open for 1:1 telehealth consults.

Also, If this post hit home, save it + come back to it.

If you’re waking up tired, running on stress hormones, living with bloating, headaches, anxiety, cravings, brain fog, hormonal changes or burnout… it’s not “just life”.

It’s your body asking for help.

This is the year you can stop pushing through and start listening, restoring, and rebuilding 🤍

Intermittent fasting works… for some bodies.

For many women though, extended fasting can place extra stress on the nervous system, disrupt blood sugar balance and impact hormones, especially when life is already busy or stressful.

This is why I prioritise balance, nourishment and sustainability over these types of approaches.
