Natural hydration mix - no Gatorade necessary!

This is the best mix for sweaty kids after sport:

1/4 tsp Celtic sea salt
Soda water
Lime or lemon

This packs a whopping 480mg of sodium to help hydrate the cells (the same as 2 hydrolytes but without the sugar)!

Australian supplements vs American supplements

It is so easy these days for people to jump online and buy supplements from the US that influencers recommend, or from online wesbites.

This one fact catches people out all the time…

You pick up a supplement and it says:
“1000mg” on the front.

Sounds great, doesn't it!

But then you flip it oveR, and the actual amount of the active nutrient might only be 20mg.

Confusing.

And honestly, misleading if you don’t know what you’re looking for.

This often comes down to how things are labelled.

In some American products, the bigger number can refer to the compound weight (the whole ingredient), not the active amount your body actually uses.

Whereas here in Australia, our regulations are much stricter on labelling and what actually goes into the product. What you see on the labels tends to reflect the true active dose more clearly.

It’s a small detail, but it makes a big difference. When you’re trying to support your health (or your kids’), you want to know you’re actually getting what you think you are buying.

Always flip the label, and if you don't understand it ask! Or buy Australian to be sure you are actually getting what you think you are purchasing.

It is that time of year where we need to be thinking about supporting our kids through the winter lurgies.

This product is something I use all the time in clinic for kids 👇

Activated probiotics immune support for kids.

Probiotics aren’t just for gut health, they play a really important role in supporting your child’s immune system too.

Certain strains have been shown to:
✨ reduce upper respiratory infections by up to 38%
✨ decrease ear infections by around 24%
✨ reduce the need for antibiotics by ~20%

Which is huge, especially for little ones who seem to pick up everything going around.

And one of the biggest wins with this one is that it actually tastes good, which means kids will take it consistently without a battle.

This consistency is where the magic happens.

If your child tends to get run down this time of year, this is definitely something to consider. Get in touch with me if you'd like to order some or chat further!

I’ve created my own compounded sleep blend that I make in house. It's been thoughtfully formulated to support both falling asleep and staying asleep through the night, which I know so many of you struggle with.

When you’re waking at 2–3am, mind racing, and feeling like a zombie in the morning you really need something that is going to support you to get to sleep and stay that way until morning.

This blend combines:
✨ Herbatonin to support sleep initiation (helping you drift off more easily)
✨ Theanine to calm and quiet the mind - this is an amazing addition!
✨ Glycine to gently cool the body and support deeper, more restorative sleep
✨ Magnesium to relax muscles and the nervous system - something we all need a bit more of.

It’s designed to work with your body. It does not knock you out, instead it supports natural, quality sleep.

If sleep has been a struggle for you lately you’re not alone!
And this is something I’ve created to help support you through it.

Feel free to reach out if you’d like to know more,

Happy Easter everyone.

I hope you have had a wonderful break with your family over the long weekend, ate a bit too much chocolate, and got some much deserved rest.

I sure did, and I am back with more content for you over the next couple of weeks,

Creatine — I LOVE it.

And honestly… it’s so underrated.

Most people think of it as a “gym supplement”, but it’s actually one of the simplest, most researched ways to support your brain.

Especially if you’re feeling:
• mentally drained
• foggy
• like your brain just isn’t keeping up with your day

Creatine helps support brain metabolism and cognitive function —
which basically means better energy in your brain, not just your body. This is so important for us busy mums!

And the best part?

It’s cheap.
You can grab it from Coles or Woolworths.
And it’s completely unflavoured, which means you can just add it to your coffee or tea.

It is such an easy win. Let me know if you try it!

Perimenopause can feel like your body has suddenly changed the rules.

Mood swings.
Irritability.
Hot flushes.
Night sweats.
Brain fog that makes you walk into a room and forget why you went there.

And for many women, it can come with a real crisis of confidence. Studies show 1 in 10 women consider leaving work during perimenopause because of brain fog and cognitive changes. That’s huge.

The good news is this transition can absolutely be supported.

One of my first go-to supports in clinic is soy isoflavones.

These plant compounds gently interact with oestrogen receptors in the body, helping smooth some of the hormonal ups and downs that happen during this stage of life.

They can help to:
• Relieve mood swings and irritability
• Reduce hot flushes and night sweats
• Support bone health and maintain mineral density
• Support cardiovascular (heart) health
• Improve cognitive clarity and memory when brain fog hits
• Help relieve vaginal dryness

Many women also love that they can be fast acting, with changes often noticed within days.

They can also be safely taken alongside MHT (Menopausal Hormone Therapy), making them a really helpful option for many women.

I’ve just stocked soy isoflavones in the clinic, and if you’re in that perimenopause stage and feeling like your body has suddenly started working against you,
please know you don’t have to just push through it.

There is so much we can do to support your hormones, your brain, your energy and your confidence during this stage of life.

Come and see me and let’s get you feeling like yourself again!

Weekday lunches at our place lately… simple, nourishing and gut friendly.

One thing we love in this house is mayonnaise on just about everything — so I was very excited to find the Good Fat mayo at Coles made with olive oil instead of seed oils. 🙌

Such a small swap, but one that feels so much better when you’re trying to keep things as whole-food based as possible.

Lunches this week have been pretty simple:
• Cold rice (for that resistant starch our gut bugs love)
• A handful of veggies
• Either tuna or eggs for protein
• And of course… a good dollop of good fat mayo

When rice cools after cooking, it forms resistant starch, which feeds beneficial gut bacteria and supports gut health, a little microbiome win in an everyday lunch.

Simple food, good fats, and happy gut bugs is a win for me as a mum of 2 busy kids.

Introducing the newest member of our family, Alfie!

As we’ve been introducing foods to our little guy, I did what most people probably do, I grabbed a packet of “pet mince” from the supermarket.

Then I turned it over and read the ingredients.

Seed oil.

In mince. For a dog. Why??

I honestly had to read it twice. When you’re buying mince, you assume it’s just… mince. But many pet minces are bulked out with added fats and fillers, including cheap seed oils.

And it made me think, if we’re trying to feed our pets whole, nourishing foods, why add something so processed?

So now we’ve switched to a much cleaner option, where the ingredients are exactly what you’d expect: real meat, nothing unnecessary added.

If you’re feeding pet mince at home, it might be worth turning the packet over and having a quick look at the ingredient list.

I’ve linked both products here so you can compare them yourself. 👇

I’ve been trialling OEA with a few patients lately, and the results have been really interesting.

One patient in particular had been working with me for about 2 months. We had already started making some good progress with her nutrition and metabolic health, but the biggest shift happened when we introduced OEA.

In just 2.5 weeks she lost 3 kg.

Now, this wasn’t a magic pill situation. We had already laid the groundwork with diet, blood sugar support and lifestyle changes. But OEA seemed to help her body switch on the signals that regulate hunger and fat metabolism more effectively.

Research shows OEA works through several integrated pathways in the body:

• Stimulates GLP-1 activity, supporting satiety and blood sugar regulation
• Delays meal initiation and reduces meal size, helping people feel satisfied for longer
• Enhances fatty acid uptake and lipolysis, encouraging the body to burn fat for energy
• Modulates dopamine and endocannabinoid signalling, reducing reward-driven overeating

Another area where this is becoming really interesting is supporting people coming off GLP-1 medications.

Because OEA can help continue suppressing excessive hunger, it may help extend the benefits once the weekly injection window passes, supporting appetite regulation while the body readjusts.

It’s early days, but the gut-brain-metabolism connection here is fascinating.

And it’s a great reminder that sometimes the body just needs the right signals switched back on.
