In practice, I often see people treating bacterial or fungal overgrowths repeatedly without addressing the terrain that allowed them to develop in the first place.

Root contributors I’m always assessing include:
• Impaired motility (often needing gentle prokinetic support)
• Ileocecal valve dysfunction (a common but overlooked driver of reflux, bloating, and recurrence)
• Poor vagal tone and chronic sympathetic dominance
• Inadequate bile flow and drainage through the liver, lymph, and bowel

SIFO (fungal overgrowth) especially tends to show up when:
• The gut environment is stagnant
• Detox pathways are overloaded
• The nervous system is stuck in “fight or flight”

This is why my approach doesn’t start with killing.
It starts with opening drainage pathways, restoring flow, and calming the nervous system.

I use AO bioresonance to help identify where regulation is breaking down, what the body is prioritising, and what needs support first — so protocols are targeted, tolerable, and sustainable.

Clear the traffic jam → then address microbes.
Not the other way around.

If you’ve “treated SIBO” more than once and it keeps coming back, this is usually why.

Hair loss isn’t cosmetic.
It’s metabolic.

Hair follicles are energy-hungry tissues.
When the body is under stress, it redirects resources away from hair.
Hair often sheds weeks to months after illness, stress, or hormonal shifts — this is physiological, not random.

Stop chasing products.
Support the system.

Heal the soil.
Restore flow.
Hair follows.
If you’re dealing with hair shedding, start here — not with products.

A few foundational shifts that often matter more than serums or supplements:

• Eat protein earlier in the day to stabilise blood sugar
• Support digestion (stomach acid, enzymes) before adding nutrients
• Prioritise sleep timing — hair repair is circadian
• Reduce inflammatory load (stress, ultra-processed foods, alcohol)
• Support liver & bile flow so hormones and toxins can actually clear
• Improve scalp circulation — gentle movement, massage, heat
• Calm the nervous system daily (slow breathing, humming, walking)

When the body feels resourced and safe, hair usually follows.

Small physiological wins

The four phenotypes that describe why people develop tight fascia and pain.

For many people, the next step is actually to slow things down:
– reduce high-oxalate foods gradually rather than cutting them suddenly
– focus on minerals and gentle nourishment before restriction
– support bile flow, gut and lymph function before aggressive detox
– consider whether fungal overgrowth or past gut issues are part of the picture

Healing is not about doing more “right” things.
It’s about choosing the right order for your body.

If you keep reacting every time you clean up your diet, that’s information — not failure.

I’ll be unpacking this in more depth, step by step, in my tight FASCIA book.

Before you jump into a detox or cleanse for the new year, I need you to hear this.
If your fascia is tight and your nervous system is in protection mode…
your lymph can’t drain properly.
And when lymph can’t drain, detoxing will actually make you feel worse — not better.
That’s why so many people feel puffy, inflamed, or exhausted after doing cold juices or heavy detox kits.
Your body doesn’t need shock right now — it needs warmth, softness and flow.
Start with warming foods, warm water, gentle movement, and calming the nervous system.
Then detoxing becomes effortless, because your pathways are open.
If you need help understanding what your body actually needs, January sessions are open.

This is my story and many others.
When these systems become overwhelmed, dehydrated, or congested, pain increases.
Pain is not “all in one spot.”
It is a **multi-system pattern**.
**Pain Is Not Just Structural*
Your scans, X-rays, or MRIs might show:
- disc wear
- arthritis
- a bulging disc
- inflammation
- or nothing at all
But structural findings often do **not** match the severity of symptoms.
Many people with:
- severe arthritis have little pain
- major disc bulges have no pain
- “normal” scans still have severe pain
This is because pain is influenced by **how your body is functioning**, not just how it looks on a scan.

Pain increases when:
- fascia becomes dry or tight
- lymph becomes congested
- nerves become irritated
- mitochondria can’t make enough energy
- your nervous system is overwhelmed
- mould, toxins, or hormones create irritation
- digestion slows
- sleep is light or disrupted
- you’ve been under long-term stress
These patterns add up — and pain appears.

appears.

**Pain Is a Language — Not a Diagnosis**
Pain says things like:
- “I’m overloaded.”
- “I need circulation.”
- “My fascia needs hydration.”
- “My lymph isn’t clearing.”
- “My nervous system needs safety.”
- “Energy is low — please slow down.”
The goal is not to ignore the signal.
The goal is to **understand it** so you can support the system that is struggling.

I am excited to announce I am writing a book on how I have achieved pain management with this method of releasing fascia after transitioning through perimenopause and menopause.

In this video I discuss the 3 Bs of Drainage
1.Bowels
2. Bile flow
2. Binders
and how to manage these symptoms.
Cleansing is uniquely individual which I why I use Bio resonance.
Drainage is critical to avoid re-circulation of pathogens. Think of your car… it will break down if the pipes are blocked and filters are not changed.
My approach differs with each individual as everyone has unique genetic differences, strengths and weaknesses.
Open up drainage, support weakness and restore flow.

Wondering if your cortisol might be dysregulated? Here are the telltale signs:
1. You wake up feeling absolutely exhausted, even after 7-8 hours of sleep - like you could sleep for another three hours easily
2. You rely heavily on coffee just to function in the morning (and probably throughout the day)
3. You experience that classic afternoon energy crash where concentration becomes impossible
4. You get a “second wind” at night when you should be winding down - suddenly you’re wide awake at 10pm
5. You’re “tired but wired” - exhausted but can’t switch off your racing mind to actually fall asleep
6. You find yourself craving sugar and carbs constantly, especially in the afternoon
7. Your weight has been creeping up, particularly around your midsection, despite not changing your diet
8. You feel overwhelmed easily
9. You’re catching every cold or bug that goes around
10. Your periods have become irregular or you’re experiencing worsening perimenopause symptoms
If three or more of these sound familiar, your cortisol rhythm is very likely disrupted.

Never fear. There are amazing solutions that can make a significant difference to your lingterm health resukting in significant weight loss, increased energy, improved brain clarity and hormonal balance.
Don’t delay
Book in at Ettalong massage and have yourself feeling better for Xmas.
Look forward to working with you🤍✨

Common mistakes people make with their health.

I most commonly see on AO Bioresonance when mould colonisation is part of the picture is
a cluster of findings – not one single “smoking gun”. These clusters point me to look deeper for
internal fungal colonisation (sinuses, bronchioles, gut) and an environmental exposure that’s
ongoing.
Sinus + lung frequency pulls: repeated strong responses in the respiratory zones suggest a
local reservoir. If the scan repeatedly lights up those areas, it’s a red flag to clinically investigate
sinuses.
Drainage pathway congestion (lymph + liver): mould/mycotoxins stress elimination. When
lymph and bile/liver pathways show weakness or energetic sluggishness, the body struggles to
clear toxins.
Histamine / MCAS-type reactivity: unstable histamine-related frequencies often correlate with client symptoms like itchy skin, flushing, gut sensitivity, and food reactivity.
Detox pathway stress (glucuronidation, sulphation, methylation): energetic hits suggest
detox machinery is overloaded or under-resourced; binders and drainage support are often key.
Co-existing microbial signatures: fungal colonisation rarely exists alone. Candida, biofilms, or chronic sinus bacteria often show up alongside fungal markers.
Mycotoxin/fungal frequency signatures: while a scan can’t replace lab assays, consistent
mycotoxin-related signatures on AO often correlate with positive mycotoxin tests (Mosaic or
Nutripath).
Practical next steps (clinical follow-up):
1. Confirm with targeted testing (environmental + mycotoxin)
2. ENT/sinus assessment if local reservoir suspected
3. Support drainage & elimination first (lymph, bile, binders)
4. Reduce ongoing exposure
5. Individualised protocol based on testing & tolerance
Disclaimer: AO Bioresonance is a powerful screening and planning tool, but confirmatory testing and clinical assessment make the diagnosis robust.
