The skincare industry sold you the idea that acne is your fault. That you just need the right cleanser, the right cream, or another round of antibiotics.

While skincare can play a role, the truth is that…

Acne is rarely just a skin issue.

It’s your body asking for deeper healing. We suggest starting with the basics. 👇🏼

✨ Support your vitamin D and zinc levels with supplements ✨ Simplify your skincare (choose clean, natural and non-comedogenic skincare)
✨ Eat foods that calm inflammation (think leafy greens, omega-3s, and wholefoods).

And if you’ve tried everything and nothing’s changing, that’s when it’s time to look within.

Work with us to heal your acne from the inside out, book via the link in bio. 💛

Just because it’s common, doesn’t mean it’s “normal.”

Perimenopause is a natural transition, but the symptoms many women experience are your body’s way of saying it needs support.

Here’s what those symptoms can actually mean:

1) Heavy or irregular periods – hormonal fluctuations, often from oestrogen dominance or low progesterone.
2) Hot flushes & night sweats – changes in thermoregulation linked to declining oestrogen.
3) Mood swings, anxiety, or low mood – hormone shifts affect neurotransmitters like serotonin and GABA.
4) Low libido – changes in oestrogen and testosterone, plus vaginal dryness, can all play a role.
5) Brain fog & memory changes – linked to declining oestrogen and disrupted sleep.
6) Weight gain around the middle – blood sugar imbalances and hormonal shifts can increase fat storage.
7) Trouble sleeping – falling progesterone impacts GABA (a calming neurotransmitter).
8) Fatigue or low energy – often tied to nutrient depletion, adrenal stress, and hormonal changes.
9) Vaginal dryness – declining oestrogen affects vaginal tissue and lubrication.
10) Skin + hair changes – lower oestrogen reduces collagen, elasticity, and hair thickness.

With the right nutrition, herbal medicine, and lifestyle support, these symptoms can be managed, and you can feel like yourself again.

Feeling off but can’t put your finger on it?

In clinic, we see this all the time - women who feel flat, foggy, or just not like themselves, even though nothing obvious has changed.

Some of the most common underlying drivers we uncover are:

⚖️ Hormonal shifts
🌿 Gut imbalances
💥 Blood sugar swings
😴 Chronic stress load
🩸 Nutrient deficiencies
💧 Liver overload

The good news? Once we identify what’s really going on, we can use nutrition, testing, and targeted naturopathic support to bring your body back into balance.

You don’t have to keep pushing through feeling “off.”

We’re here to help you get to the root cause and feel like yourself again.

On the constant search for gut-friendly foods?

Here are 6 to add to your weekly shop, all ones I recommend as a Nutritionist.

🥬 Sauerkraut – I’ll add a spoonful to my lunch salads for probiotics that keep the gut microbiome diverse
🥛 Kefir – I blend it into smoothies a few mornings a week to boost digestion and immunity
🧄 Garlic – I cook with fresh garlic daily because it feeds the good bacteria in the gut
🌱 Chia seeds – I soak them overnight for easy breakfasts, the fibre keeps everything moving
🍲 Bone broth – I use it as a base for soups or slow-cooked meals to nourish the gut lining
🍯 Manuka honey – I stir it into herbal tea, it’s soothing, antibacterial, and supports gut repair

The simplest shifts in your weekly shop can be powerful for your digestion, energy, and overall well-being.

Because gut health isn’t about extremes, it’s about everyday nourishment, consistency, and care.

Breakouts that don’t shift no matter what products you use? 🤯

In the clinic, we see this all the time, acne is rarely just about your skin.

Your body is sending signals about what’s happening inside.

Some of the most common drivers we see include:

✨ Blood sugar imbalances
🥛 Dairy sensitivity
⚡ Stress + nervous system load
🌿 Liver load
🦠 Gut dysbiosis
💊 Nutrient depletion

The good news? With the right nutrition, testing, and lifestyle support, acne can calm down, and your skin can start to heal from the inside out.

You don’t have to keep fighting with breakouts, there are answers.

Our Story

Bodhi Cleanse is South Australia's only organic, cold pressed juice cleanse. 6 fresh, cold pressed juices designed with your health in mind by renowned Adelaide Naturopath Karina Pike, delivered to your door daily for the length of your cleanse. We endeavour to use only organic fruits and vegetables, because why put toxins in when we are trying to clear them out? Organically grown fruits and vegetables tend to have higher amounts of precious vitamins and minerals and when these juices are your only source of nutrients, they need to be packed full! If we can’t source something organically or it is in short supply we will keep you informed. Quality is also the reason we use a cold pressed juicer, because friction causes heat and heat damages precious vitamins. Quality ingredients and quality equipment leads to the highest quality juices and we truly believe you deserve nothing but the best. You will also notice we use glass bottles; this is again because your health and the health of our earth is our priority. Plastic bottles contain nasty BPA, a synthetic compound with hormone like properties and linked with cancer. We recycle our bottles so if you would like to get yourself a $10 voucher towards your next cleanse (or pay it forward and give it to a friend) all you have to do is leave your clean, empty bottles by the front door when we txt you to say we are delivering to your area. Simple! We also believe that cleansing should happen from the inside out, whole body. For this reason you will receive a fibre blend to be taken daily, and those opting for a 3 or 5 day clanse will recieve a skin brush and detoxifying bath salts
