🎄Caring for Your Gut Through the Holidays 🎄

As we head into the Christmas season, I always notice how my gut responds to the extra foods being consumed and a disrupted eating routine (especially eating later than usual).

And if you’re anything like many of the women I support, you might feel it too — bloating, tiredness, the “off” feeling after a few big days.

So here are a few gentle reminders of things you can do to keep digestion steady and inflammation low:

✨ Starting the day slowly
Even during the holidays, I take a few minutes to have a big drink of water and take a few quiet breath.
It helps my nervous system settle — and when we’re calm, our digestive enzymes switch back on.

🥗 Building my plate around colour
Whether it's Christmas lunch or a BBQ with friends, I always look for ways to add plenty of plant foods to my plate.
Fibre feeds your microbiome, which means better energy, better hormones, better mood… especially this time of year.

💧 Sipping water between the celebrations
It sounds simple, but hydration is one of the quickest ways to support digestion and reduce that heavy, sluggish feeling.

🍽️ Eating mindfully — not perfectly
I never aim for “perfect” eating at Christmas.
I simply pause, chew well, and notice when my body has had enough. This alone can help reduce bloating and support smoother digestion.

💛 Resting when my body asks for it
The holidays can stretch our nervous systems. When the gut is inflamed or stressed, the whole body feels it — so I make space to rest, even if it’s just 10 quiet minutes.

If your gut feels unsettled during the holidays, you’re not alone — and small, mindful shifts make a big difference.

Wishing you a calm belly, steady energy, and a Christmas filled with ease and joy.

The Routeburn track in Fiordland was such an adventure. Strong wind gusts and a bit of rain kept us on our toes. So grateful to be able to spend days in nature.

A Little Reminder From Me to You

This morning, as I sat with my cup of coffee and took a few deep breaths.

I was reminded how much our bodies love the simple things…
✨ slowing down
✨ nourishing food
✨ feeling connected
✨ taking time to listening to our inner guidance
So many of the women I work with tell me they’ve been “pushing through” for years — fatigue, gut discomfort, hormone chaos, stress — and they think this is "normal".
But it’s not something you have to live with.

Your body is always communicating with you. When we give it the right environment, nourishment, and support, it knows exactly how to come back into balance.

If you’re feeling ready to understand your gut, your hormones, and your energy on a deeper level, I’m ready to listen.

Message me anytime — even if it’s just to ask a question.

Sulforaphane: The Natural Compound That Heals Your Gut from Within

22/10/2025

Gut Health & Sulforaphane
Did you know that one of the most powerful compounds for your gut health is found in broccoli sprouts? 🥦
It’s called sulforaphane — a natural plant compound that supports your body’s detox pathways, calms inflammation, and helps your gut lining repair itself.
Here’s why sulforaphane is such a game changer for your gut:
✨ Activates antioxidant enzymes that protect intestinal cells
✨ Reduces inflammation that can drive bloating and discomfort
✨ Encourages the growth of beneficial gut bacteria
✨ Supports healthy communication between your gut and immune system
If you’re working on improving digestion, reducing inflammation, or supporting your metabolism, including sulforaphane-rich foods — like broccoli sprouts, kale, and cabbage — is a smart place to start.
Your gut is your gateway to health — give it the nourishment it deserves. 💚
👉 Curious about how sulforaphane can fit into your gut-healing plan?
Book a consultation at Kim Kay Wellness to learn how a personalised treatment plan using sulforaphane and nutrition can transform your gut and hormone health.

🌿 Let’s talk about your gut — your body’s inner ecosystem.

Did you know your gut is home to trillions of microbes that help digest food, balance hormones, and even influence your mood?
When this delicate microbiome gets out of balance, it can show up as bloating, brain fog, low energy, or even anxiety.

I’ve seen so many women walk through my doors feeling frustrated and disconnected from their bodies — and it’s incredible to watch what happens when we start supporting the gut properly. Their energy lifts, their moods balance, and their digestion finally feels calm again. 💫

If your gut feels “off,” it’s your body’s way of asking for support — not punishment or restriction, but nourishment and care.

Let’s get your microbiome thriving again so you can feel vibrant, clear, and comfortable in your body.

Struggling with sleep during menopause? 😴

It’s not just you — shifting hormones can throw your circadian rhythm (your body’s natural sleep-wake clock) out of balance. This can make it harder to fall asleep, stay asleep, or feel truly rested in the morning.

✨ Why it matters:
Your circadian rhythm is closely linked to hormones like melatonin and cortisol.
Poor sleep can worsen hot flushes, mood swings, and brain fog.
Restful sleep supports energy, metabolism, and emotional balance.

🌙 What helps:
Keeping a regular bedtime and wake time.
Reducing screen time at night to avoid disrupting melatonin.
Gentle evening routines like stretching, meditation, or herbal teas.
Balancing blood sugar to avoid 2am wake-ups.

Menopause doesn’t mean giving up on good sleep — it means finding new ways to support your body’s natural rhythm. 💜

👉 What’s your biggest sleep challenge right now?

The Australian Bush can be so beautiful. Really loved a brisk walk around the lake in the Sunshine, breathing fresh air and listening to the sounds of nature. Great for start to the day, to make me feel more energised and enthusiastic for the day ahead. 🤸

Such a beautiful day yesterday, walking around Mt Maunganui in the sunshine. Getting plenty of Vitamin D and exercise.

Myth vs Fact: Gut Health in Menopause

🚫 Myth: Digestive issues like bloating, constipation, or food sensitivities are just a normal part of menopause—and you just have to put up with them.

✅ Fact: While hormonal changes (like lower estrogen and progesterone) can affect digestion, you don’t have to accept feeling uncomfortable.

With the right nutrition, lifestyle strategies, and gut support, many women experience better energy, improved digestion, and even easier weight balance during menopause.

💡 Your gut plays a vital role in hormone health, mood, and inflammation. Looking after it can make all the difference in this stage of life.
