Gut Lining & Immunity: Strong Gut = Strong Defence 🛡️

Did you know that around 70% of your immune system actually lives in your gut? It’s one of the reasons your digestive health has such a huge influence on everything from inflammation to energy to long-term immune resilience.

When the gut lining becomes “leaky,” tiny food particles, toxins, and bacterial fragments slip into the bloodstream. Your immune system sees these as intruders - which means more inflammation, more symptoms, and for some people, a higher tendency toward autoimmune issues.

The good news? The gut lining can repair beautifully with the right support.

🌿 Helpful tools for repair include:
• Zinc, glutamine and omega-3s
• Bone broth, collagen, slippery elm, aloe vera, marshmallow root
• Reducing stress (because cortisol makes the gut more permeable)
• Minimising unnecessary antibiotics and NSAIDs

When we strengthen the gut lining, we strengthen the whole system - immunity, hormones, mood, and digestion all benefit.

If your gut (or your immune system) feels like it needs some extra support right now, you’re welcome to book a free Reset call and we can chat about what might be going on and how to help? The link is below 💛

If Part 1 had you thinking, “Yep… that sounds familiar,” you’re not alone (and if you missed it, be sure to go check it out).

The good news? A leaky gut can be repaired - and when we do it properly, the ripple effects can be incredible for your digestion, energy, hormones and mood.

In the clinic, I work through what we call the 4R’s of Gut Repair - simple, logical, and effective steps that get to the root of what your gut needs:

1️⃣ Remove
We start by taking out the irritants - things like processed foods, refined sugar, excess alcohol, and anything you’re intolerant to (gluten, dairy, FODMAPs etc).
We also identify any gut bugs (parasites, candida, opportunistic bacteria) that may need clearing, and support your nervous system to reduce stress.

2️⃣ Replace
Next, we support healthy digestion with bitter herbs, digestive enzymes, zinc, apple cider vinegar, or HCl if needed - plus hydration, mindful eating, and actually chewing our food (you’d be amazed how much this helps!).

3️⃣ Reinoculate
We rebuild your microbiome with Pre and Probiotic-rich foods like sauerkraut, kefir, miso, yoghurt, oats, flax, garlic, leeks, asparagus, and legumes - and use targeted supplements if needed.

4️⃣ Repair
Finally, we soothe and strengthen the gut lining using nutrients and herbs like zinc, glutamine, omega-3s, slippery elm, and marshmallow root.
Foods like bone broth, chia pudding, flaxseed and even stewed apples can be great here too.

💫 It’s important to remember that leaky gut rarely exists in isolation - it’s often tied to low stomach acid, dysbiosis, sluggish liver detox or hormonal recirculation (especially oestrogen).
That’s why addressing your whole system - not just your gut - gets the best long-term results.

If your digestion’s been off and you’re ready to feel good again, you can book a free Reset Call and we’ll take a closer look together.

🧩 What Exactly Is Leaky Gut?

Your gut lining is meant to act like a finely woven mesh - allowing nutrients in and keeping everything else out.

But when that lining becomes damaged or “leaky,” larger molecules like food particles, toxins, and bacterial fragments can slip through into your bloodstream.

Your immune system sees these as invaders and mounts an inflammatory response… and that’s when symptoms can really take hold.

What causes it?
It’s rarely just one thing. More often, it’s a mix of stress, processed foods, alcohol, medications, or even an imbalance in your gut bacteria - all of which chip away at your gut barrier over time.

Because your gut plays such a big role in your immune system, hormones, and mood, once it’s inflamed, you might notice things like:
✨ Bloating, fatigue, or brain fog
✨ Skin issues (eczema, acne, psoriasis)
✨ Food sensitivities
✨ Joint pain or inflammation
✨ Hormonal imbalances or PMS changes

The good news? Your gut can heal - and next post, we’ll chat about how to support that process naturally. 🌿

Feeling a bit puffy, bloated or just “off” after meals? 😣

You’re not imagining it - bloating is one of the most common signs that your digestion (and your gut microbiome) might need a little extra support.

Some of the most frequent culprits?
👉 Low stomach acid
👉 Gut flora imbalance
👉 Constipation
👉 Food intolerances
👉 Or even a sluggish liver/gallbladder

The good news is, there’s a lot we can do to help calm things down.

🌿 We can identify food triggers (like gluten, dairy, or high-FODMAP foods).
🌿 Use muscle testing in clinic to detect unwanted bugs like parasites, candida or bacteria.
🌿 Support liver and gallbladder function with targeted formulas.
🌿 Sip on soothing teas - Peppermint, Fennel, Ginger, Chamomile.
🌿 And of course, eat smaller, balanced meals and take a few deep breaths before eating.

Sometimes, the smallest tweaks make the biggest difference when it comes to bloating and inflammation. 💚

If bloating has been your “normal” for too long, it doesn’t have to stay that way. Book a free Reset Call via the link in my bio and let’s chat about what might be behind it x

Sometimes bloating, fatigue, irregular digestion, or stubborn cravings are your body’s way of waving a little red flag. 🚩

Here’s how I work out exactly what’s happening with your digestion and microbiome:

✨ Muscle testing - this amazing tool helps us uncover food intolerances, leaky gut, gut bugs or pathogens, and even what supplements will best support your digestion and gut healing.

✨ Full Microbiome testing - done through a trusted lab here in Australia, this test shows what’s present (bacteria, yeasts, parasites), what’s missing (beneficial bacteria strains), and other key markers that help us understand what’s really going on in your digestive system.

With this info, we can create a personalised plan to restore balance, support your microbiome, and help your whole system run more smoothly.

Your bowel isn’t just about getting rid of digested food. It’s also your body’s main exit route for hormones, toxins, and waste.

When things slow down, oestrogen can recirculate, worsening PMS, weight gain, and perimenopausal symptoms. It can also allow opportunistic or pathogenic bacteria to build up.

To keep things moving smoothly - incorporate these into your day:
✅ Hydrate - aim for approximately 2L of water daily (especially in warmer months)
✅ Eat good fibre - veggies, oats, chia, flaxseed, psyllium (everyone will have slightly different fibre needs)
✅ Move your body - walking, yoga, tummy massage and even squats help stimulate bowel motility

And if you feel things could be moving better, consider some gentle support - magnesium or herbal remedies like Slippery Elm, Licorice & Marshmallow Root can be helpful.

If your bowel has been sluggish for a while, it may be worth exploring underlying causes like low stomach acid, thyroid issues, sluggish liver and gallbladder, or small intestine bacterial/yeast overgrowth.

Your gut is like an inner garden, home to around 38 trillion bacterial cells (more than your human cells!). When this delicate ecosystem is in balance, it supports everything from your immunity and mood to your metabolism and hormones.

But when the balance tips - a condition called dysbiosis - it can trigger inflammation, cravings, fatigue, and even hormonal or metabolic issues.

The key to a thriving “inner garden” is diversity 🪴

That means feeding your good bugs with colourful, real foods: think lean proteins, legumes, nuts, seeds, and plenty of veg, while including natural prebiotics (onions, garlic, leeks, oats, asparagus) and fermented foods like sauerkraut, kimchi, kefir, and yoghurt.

And just as in any garden, weeds can grow fast. Sugar, alcohol, and processed foods unfortunately tend to feed the “wrong” bugs (but can still be enjoyed in moderation).

✨ When you nurture your microbiome, you nurture your whole body - energy, hormones, digestion, and even your mood.

Did you know your stomach needs to be acidic enough (around pH 1.5–3) to properly digest protein and destroy unwanted pathogens? The funny thing is…many people actually have too little stomach acid, not too much - and that’s often what’s really behind symptoms like reflux and heartburn.

Stress, ageing, and certain medications (like PPIs and antacids) can all lower acid production, which means your digestion, nutrient absorption, and even your energy levels can take a hit.

Here are a few ways to support your stomach and set the rest of your digestion up for success:
✨ Take your time when you eat - stop scrolling, stop rushing. A calm digestion is a much more effective digestion.
✨ Chew each mouthful 20–30 times to help stimulate enzymes and bile (this doesn't really take as long as we think!)
✨ Try a little lemon juice or apple cider vinegar in water before meals to wake up your digestive juices.
✨ And for those who need a stronger nudge, I often use bitter herbs like Gentian or Dandelion root. Muscle testing helps us find the right blend for your unique body.

Your gut truly is the gateway to your overall health - and a lot of it begins in the stomach. 💚

This month let’s talk gut health - because your digestion is so much more than what happens after you eat.

Your gut is the gateway to your overall health. It affects your energy, your hormones, your metabolism, your mood, your Immune system, and even how well you sleep. When your gut is happy, your whole tends to feel more in balance. But when it’s not… you feel it everywhere - common symptoms can be bloating, fatigue, skin breakouts, cravings, low mood, lower-than-usual stress tolerance, constipation...and more. It's no fun at all.

This month, we’ll be diving into all things digestion and your microbiome - from understanding what the gut is, to the signs your gut might be out of balance, to natural ways to support a stronger, happier gut.

As a Naturopath, I take a holistic approach in relation to hut health. We explore digestion, microbiome balance, gut lining integrity, elimination, and even your nervous system tone. This month we'll explore how tools like muscle testing and microbiome testing can help uncover what’s really going on beneath the surface.

✨ Whether you’ve struggled with gut issues for years or just want to understand your body better, this month’s series is for you.

Follow along (and tag a friend who’d love this topic too!) - we’re going to explore how healing your gut can transform your energy, mood, and overall wellbeing. 🌸

So often, we think resetting is all about the what:
✔️ What to eat
✔️ What exercise to do
✔️ What habits to follow

But the real game-changer?
It’s how you think about it. 🧠✨

Here are 6 quick mindset shifts to make eating well and moving your body after 40 feel like self-care - not punishment:

1️⃣ From Punishment to Nourishment
“I move to feel energised, not to ‘burn off’ food.”

2️⃣ From Restriction to Fuel
“I choose foods that fuel my energy and hormones.”

3️⃣ From Perfect to Consistent
“One choice doesn’t undo my Reset - the next one is a fresh start.”

4️⃣ From Sacrifice to Upgrade
“I’m upgrading my meals to feel amazing now, not just full.”

5️⃣ From Outcome to Identity
“I’m becoming a woman who prioritises strength & balance.”

6️⃣ From Obligation to Opportunity
“I get to move my body today - not everyone has that gift.”

💗 When you shift your mindset, resetting stops feeling like a chore… and starts feeling like freedom.

🔥 Could inflammation be behind how you’re feeling?

Sometimes inflammation doesn’t look “obvious.” It can show up as bloating, fluid retention, stiff joints, reflux, constant colds, or even autoimmune flare-ups.

While some inflammation is a normal part of the body’s healing process, chronic inflammation can quietly impact your energy, digestion, and long-term health.

Here are a few simple ways to help calm inflammation naturally:
✨ Cut back on sugar, soft drinks, and alcohol
✨ Limit dairy if you notice bloating or sinus issues
✨ Reduce wheat and high-starch foods
✨ Avoid having nightshades (like tomatoes, eggplant & capsicum) every day
✨ Stay hydrated — 1.5–2L of water daily helps flush the system
✨ Try adding Liquid Chlorophyll to your water
✨ Include a Magnesium supplement to ease stiffness and support muscle recovery

Small, consistent changes can make a big difference to how you feel 🌿
