We’re often told fertility support has to be perfect to “work”.
Perfect diet. Perfect supplements. Perfect routine.
And honestly? That just adds more pressure to an already emotional journey.

Fertility isn’t built in extremes.
It’s built in small, consistent choices, repeated over time.

Some days you’ll eat well, sleep well, move gently, feel calm.
Other days you’ll skip breakfast, sleep badly, feel stressed, and do your best just to get through the day.
Both are part of being human.

What matters most is not doing everything right - it’s reducing the things that quietly strain your hormones, and gently supporting your body more often than not.

This fertility to-do list isn’t a rulebook.
It’s a reminder of what helps, and what doesn’t need to be perfect to still make a difference 🤍

We don’t damage our hormones on purpose.
Most of the time, we’re just trying to cope.

Skipping meals because we’re busy.
Training harder because we’re frustrated with our bodies.
Relying on coffee because rest feels impossible.
Pushing through stress because “this is just life now”.

None of these make you weak or irresponsible.
They make you human - living in a demanding world.

The problem is that hormones don’t respond to intentions. They respond to patterns, stress, and safety.

✨ Your body isn’t failing you.
✨ It’s communicating.

Which one surprised you most? Or which one made you feel a little TOO seen?

This year, I’m leaning into the things that make me feel most like myself.

Time in nature. Movement that feels nourishing (yoga, long stretches, dancing, deep breaths). Unrushed moments with the people I love. Space to slow down and just be.

One of the biggest lessons last year taught me is that doing things faster doesn’t mean doing them better. Sometimes it just means doing them more exhausted.

So my intention for the year ahead is to let my health come first - not in a perfectionist way, but in a softer, more sustainable one. More fun. More joy. Less pushing through.

I’m reminding myself that wellbeing isn’t something we achieve - it’s something we practise, gently, day by day.

I’d love to hear from you 🤍
What are you hoping to create or protect for yourself this year? ✨🌿

Ovulation isn’t automatic.
It’s something the body allows when conditions feel safe 🤍

At the centre of this is your hypothalamus - a small but powerful part of the brain that constantly checks in:
⚡ Do we have enough energy?
🛡️ Are we under threat?
🌱 Is this a good time to sustain a pregnancy?

When the answer feels like no, ovulation may pause.

This isn’t your body being stubborn or broken. It’s your body choosing survival first.

Things that can quietly push the body into survival mode include:
🥗 Under-eating or crash dieting
🏃‍♀️ Over-exercising or always pushing
🧠 High stress and ongoing pressure
🚫 Restrictive eating patterns

Over time, this can show up as:
• Missing or very light periods
• Short luteal phases
• Low progesterone patterns
• Fatigue, poor sleep, low libido

The answer isn’t forcing your cycle to cooperate.
It’s about supporting the system so ovulation feels safe again.

🍽️ Enough food
😴 Rest that actually restores
🚶‍♀️ Gentler movement
🧘‍♀️ Nervous system support

Your cycle is a vital sign. If it’s changing or missing, it’s information - not failure ✨

💾 Save this if you’re working on your cycle, fertility, or hormonal health

So… what COMT type are you? 😅
Are you the calm-under-pressure type?
The sensitive, “I-feel-everything” type?
Or the somewhere-in-between type who shifts with stress and sleep?

Your COMT gene plays a big role in how you process dopamine, adrenaline and even oestrogen - which means it can influence your mood, focus, stress tolerance, PMS, and how your body handles caffeine.
And the fun part? We can actually test it.

In my practice, I offer DNAlysis testing, which gives you a personalised report on things like:
🧬 How you process hormones
⚡ Your stress chemistry
🥗 Nutrient needs
🏋️‍♀️ Exercise response
🔥 Weight management
🌿 Detox pathways
… and of course, your COMT speed.

If you’ve ever felt like your body reacts differently to stress, caffeine, hormones or workouts compared to everyone else - this might finally give you answers that make sense.

✨ And a quick heads-up:
DNAlysis is currently running a special until 18 December - if you buy a DNA Core test, you get any add-on test free.
(It’s their promotion, not mine - but it’s a great opportunity if you’ve been considering genetic testing). Also just to note: their prices go up in January, so if you’ve wanted to do this for a while… now’s a good window.

If you’d like details, pricing, or help choosing the right add-on, pop me a DM - I’m happy to guide you.

Today, South Africa comes together in a powerful stand against gender-based violence and femicide. This movement matters deeply - and I stand in support of . I stand in support of every woman and every family affected.

💜 To those who have lost their lives
💜 To the survivors rebuilding their lives, too often in silence
💜 To the loved ones left with unanswered questions
💜 To everyone rising up and refusing to accept this as our reality

Your pain is seen. Your strength is honoured. And your voices deserve protection and justice.

May today remind us that change starts with collective courage - and that creating a safer South Africa for women is not optional, it’s urgent.

If you're taking part today, I’m standing with you. Let’s keep speaking up, supporting one another, and pushing for the country we all deserve. 💜

💡 Crazy thought: The egg you’ll ovulate early next year is already forming right now.

It takes around 90–120 days for an egg to fully mature before ovulation - which means your body is already preparing it months in advance. So the food you eat, the stress you carry, the sleep you get (or don’t get), and the supplements you take today can all affect the quality of that future egg.

✨ The good news?
You have a real window of opportunity. Over the next few months, you can nourish that egg - and your hormones - through choices that support your fertility and long-term health.

Think:
🥦 whole, colourful foods
💧 hydration and gentle detox support
🧘‍♀️ stress management and quality sleep
🩸 balanced blood sugar and regular meals
🌿 antioxidants like CoQ10, omega-3s, NAC, vitamin E (but please always check with your healthcare provider)

Because your body is always preparing for what’s next - not just what’s happening today. 💛

🌿 Can a plant work as well as the pill for PCOS?

A recent clinical trial from Iran compared nettle extract to a standard birth control pill in women with PCOS. After 3 months, both groups showed similar improvements in hormone balance and the nettle group also had better blood sugar control and more regular, lighter periods.

🌱 So what is nettle?
Nettle (Urtica dioica) is a nutrient-rich herb traditionally used for its anti-inflammatory, blood-sugar-balancing, and hormone-supporting properties. It’s also packed with iron, magnesium, and antioxidants that can support energy and metabolism.

It’s amazing to see research opening up more choices for women - so we can make informed, empowered decisions about our health 🤓
