First day back in clinic for 2026!

2 weeks away was not long enough to do as much bush bashing as I would have liked but I am eager to be back.

The new year can make me feel a little anxious - I am a big reflector and I want to know my year has been meaningful.

Productivity has looked very different this past year. I spent more time outside and in doing so I had some truly unbelievable encounters with nature.

I have learnt that time in the bush counts more than ticking boxes.

Looking back, 2025 can only be described as magical. I’m so grateful that a word like that can even apply to my year. Especially when most of it unfolded so close to home.

Daily habits I am continuing and prioritising in 2026:
• 30-second cold showers - the dopamine will be flowing
• 5:15am wake-ups (I am working hard to get to 5am) 😅
• 15-mins of journaling
• Single ingredient foods, fruit is the best and easiest way to get this habit going.
• Reading 10 pages of a book - I am loving this and it is quickly becoming not enough.
• Prioritising quiet time first thing in the morning, above all else, this has made the biggest difference to my day.
• Lunch outside without distraction, I can’t stress the importance of being outside or in nature every day enough.
• Praying more than worrying
• Remembering to breath, the right way, I have to thank for this one!

Our habits are feeding our spirit and overtime we will see the fruit they bear.

Grateful to love what I do…Thank you 2025

Why I love liquid herbs!

3 words; Precise Individualised Prescribing.

Liquid herbs are absorbed quickly and can be blended specifically for what your body needs. Whether that’s calming the nervous system, supporting digestion, balancing hormones etc.

I prefer to use liquid herbs for more complex cases so I can be very fussy about each ingredient and the specific effect it will have.

What I have used liquid formulas for recently:
• E.coli overgrowth in the gut
• PMDD (premenstrual dysphoric disorder)
• SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth)
• Endometriosis (pain specifically)
• Drop dosing for digestion (focus on fat digestion - no gallbladder)

Yes there is one downside…taste. Although not all of them taste bad! The reason they are not in every treatment plan is taste and therefore compliance. But there are ways to manage this! Hold your nose, mix with pear juice (a surprisingly secret hero), and just be brave.

They are certainly worth a second thought if you have said no to herbs before.

Reminiscing on some of last week’s holiday moments.

This little beach trip bought so many dopamine downloads AKA very happy moments.

Nature is literally free medicine that rewires your brain for joy, focus, and resilience!

Getting outside should be a priority in everyone’s week.

Why are you so tired all the time? 😴☕️

If you came to me with low energy, here’s 6 things I’d dig into:

1. What’s on your plate? Are you crashing after meals? Unknown food intolerances OR poor fueling could be draining you. If you are reacting to or feeling low energy after eating certain foods, my next question would be ‘what is going on within your gut that is making you so reactive to certain foods?’

2. Nutrient deficiencies! When was the last time you had a blood test? Vitamins and minerals play key roles in energy production. Especially iron, vitamin B12 and vitamin D. Are you getting enough and are they being utilised by the body appropriately? Check with your practitioner that your levels are GOOD and not just “within range”.

3. Stressed to the max? Chronic stress pushes your body into overload, leaving you exhausted.

4. Always sick? Frequent illnesses could be a clue your body’s fighting something bigger. Perhaps a persistent viral infection that just keeps returning?

5. Are you sleeping well? And I mean, falling asleep easily, staying asleep and waking feeling refreshed?

6. Are your hormones happy? Hormone dysfunction can play a MAJOR role in energy production. Especially thyroid hormones, s*x hormones (such as oestrogen, progesterone and testosterone) and insulin, our lovely little blood sugar regulating hormone, that is so often forgotten about.

If fatigue has become your new normal, it’s worth exploring what’s really behind it - whether that’s hormones, nutrient gaps or gut issues.

Energy crash at 3pm? Do this before more coffee:

✅Walk around outside in the sun for 10-minutes.
✅Drink a cool glass of water with Magnesium and B vitamins, or electrolytes. Rely on simple supplementation to give your cells what they need to make energy.
✅Breath deeply for a minute (reduces stress & energises the brain).
✅Snack smart for blood sugar regulation with cinnamon protein balls, mixed nuts with some dark choc chips, liver pate as a savoury treat or a scoop of protein powder in a blender bottle.

This list could go on forever.

Step 2: consider why this keeps happening and what further investigations may be required!

Herbal formulas are in creation! This is what we are treating:

1. Brain fog, concentration and memory recall.
2. Digestive discomfort associated with SIBO.
3. Nervous system support focusing on stress and anxiety that causes a lot of gut discomfort.
4. Perimenopause symptoms with emphasis on hot flushes and night sweats.

Nature calls! 🌸

A 2019 study proved that spending just 20-minutes in nature can SIGNIFICANTLY lower cortisol levels, the body’s primary stress hormone.

The effect was dose-dependent, meaning; more time = more benefit, but even short exposures helped.

Importantly, the nature experience was unstructured - no phones, no exercise goals, just being in a green space.

Lower cortisol = healing, less stress, better immune function, improved mood (i.e. longer happier living).

Nature exposure also improves heart rate variability, sleep, and attention span.

Nature therapy and other self-care and stress relieving activities are often included in my treatment plans to support healing and help maintain a calm, parasympathetic (’rest and digest’) state.

When to choose organic? 🍎

One of my top recommendations in the clinic is to eat with the seasons and use the Dirty Dozen and Clean Fifteen as a guide when choosing fruits and vegetables.

Updated yearly, this list helps identify which fruits and veggies are **most** heavily sprayed with pesticides (👎 Dirty Dozen) and which are typically far lower in chemical residue (👍 Clean 15). The dirty dozen also often includes produces that has been genetically altered to appear bigger and brighter.

While Australia doesn’t have its own official Dirty Dozen list, the annual version released by the US Environmental Working Group (EWG) remains an important guide for Australians. As many of the same produce items are grown here under similar conditions, or imported.

What do I advise? Simply become aware of the list, if you notice you are eating something on the dirty dozen quite often, replace it with an item from the clean 15 or source certified organic.

Always wash your produce well, support local growers, and go organic when you can.
