Yes, it’s the new year but yes, you are actually the same human. And honestly, I’m not here for the “new year, new you, even as a type A, box checking person that I am. Pressure that makes people feel broken by January 15 or before is not my vibe tbh.

Mental health doesn’t improve because you bought a journal, drank green juice, or suddenly became a morning person when you have always gone to bed at 11:30pm

It improves when life feels safer, steadier, and more enjoyable. These five tips aren’t flashy. They’re not trendy even but they do change how your brain copes with stress, mood, and overwhelm. Think less optimisation, more sustainability. Less fixing yourself, more supporting yourself.

Come back to this post on the days motivation disappears. Save it if you want. Honestly, if you stick to one or more of these this year. You may just experience a whole different year to the last.

PS- my nerdy, stat reading self needed to share…. Connection and community has been shown in clinical trials now to be the best for health outcomes above all else. X

I see you… yes you, the one with broken sleep…

Did you know, the more research that pops up on sleep and mood regulation, the clearer it has become that the quality of your sleep carries more weight than simply clocking up the hours. This does not mean four hours is enough, it means fragmented, restless sleep does far more harm than slightly shorter but restorative sleep.

Consistent routines, light exposure, nervous system downshifting, and sleep hygiene determine whether the brain actually restores, regulates emotion, and builds resilience overnight.

So if you are feeling pretty awful in the mornings, waking up like a zombie and emotional and less resilient throughout the day, maybe it’s time we had a chat about addressing your sleep patterns and quality.

There are so many herbs, nutrients and tools we can use to support you. 💛

Describe in one word what is your theme, or state of being for this year ahead?

I’ll go first…..

✨ALIGNMENT✨

Alignment for me, is choosing to live, work, love and rest in a way that feels honest to who I am, where my values, nervous system and direction are no longer pulling against each other, but finally moving together. Only what makes me happy.. happiness and health are what matters for me right now.

How about you? ✨💛

I need to be real with you, I don’t like talking about “weight loss”, but the topic has been popping up everywhereeeeeee, In times it can feel shallow, overdone, and often damaging. But what I do love is sharing the science that helps people understand their bodies with compassion instead of criticism!

Here’s the truth: your fat cells play a huge role in how your body stores and protects energy. If you’ve ever felt like your body was fighting you, holding on no matter what you try, or refusing to put weight on despite eating more you’re not imagining it. That’s biology, not a lack of discipline.

This is why guilt and shame have no place in health. Your body isn’t broken; it’s protective, adaptive, and incredibly clever.

The more we understand this, the more we can focus on real health: strength, energy, sleep, mood, and self-trust, not just numbers on a scale.

Let me know in the comments if you knew this information as I truely have not heard many professionals chat about it. And when it comes down to it, the maintenance is the most important part if they are on a weight gain/loss journey.

Do we all love a board game night? Or not your style? C’mon are you the:

Competitive one?
Easy going one?
Strategist?
Bantering one?
Cheater cheater pumpkin eater?
Sore loser? 🙈

Board game nights aren’t just hilarious (if you get a good one) they’re therapy for your brain!

Research does show they can reduce stress, ease loneliness, and even strengthen those neural pathways through strategic thinking and social connection. And….peeps that play regularly have a 15% lower risk of developing dementia.

Sooo… who’s coming over for game night at mine? Bring snacks, good vibes, and no cheaters.

On that note, drop your all-time favourites below! Let’s build brains and memories together 😂 I will not let perimenopause get me.

The hot topic at the moment isn’t it! 💊

I was lucky enough to sit and listen to Dr Beth Steels Masterclass last week. What a world of knowledge she has under her belt.

There really is a lot of chatter about vitamin B6 lately, and it’s not without reason. While many think toxicity is simply about taking “too much,” the truth is often more complex.

It’s not always the dose that’s the issue, it’s how YOUR body processes, stores, and clears B6. Genetics, gut health, other nutrient levels, liver and kidney function can all play a role in whether B6 builds up or is used effectively.

This isn’t about fear, it’s about awareness. The conversation is growing, and that’s a good thing, because it means we can personalise health advice instead of relying on a one size fits all.

It’s an incredibly common question and one that is very much warranted… “why aren’t my supps working already” or “how long will they take”

I always like to say, as well as the info I have given here….EVERY SINGLE PERSON will respond differently to a supplement, medication or herbal. We are all unique humans and two people can be given the same dose of one substance and respond very differently. THIS is why it is so important to get patient centred care by a practitioner that can monitor how your body responds, either positively or negatively. (This can happen with any substance by the way)

It’s too common that we “expect” to have negative side effects from pharmaceuticals and put up with them because they are “doing their job”.

I hope this brings some light on the differences between these pharmaceuticals and nutraceuticals. 💛

You all loved when I shared some cases the other week, so here is another one that I will always hold close to my heart.

This 34yo woman is living proof of what’s possible when we stay curious, patient, and committed to uncovering the root cause.

She’s been working with me for over a year now, and together we’ve gently peeled back many layers, exploring histamine intolerance, hormonal shifts, food sensitivities, and the deep impact of stress on her nervous system.

What works for one person may not work for another. That’s the art of personalised care, troubleshooting, adjusting, and evolving the plan as life unfolds right.

In our recent follow-up, she shared that she hasn’t had a single bedridden migraine in over a month, her first time migraine-free in roughly 16 years. She’s stepped out of her comfort zone and dancing again, eating with confidence, and reclaiming her joy.

I had tears in my eyes hearing her update. I couldn’t be prouder. 💛

Healing is possible, one layer at a time.

I hope this case brings hope to you and that warm fuzzy feeling like it has with me.

All my love, Tara x

“I saw this video on TikTok and now I think I have ____.”

Sound familiar? It does to me!

The explosion of health content online means more people are becoming aware of their symptoms, which, don’t get me wrong, can be empowering.

But without context, guidance, or actual testing… it’s just anxiety in disguise.

Your brain loves a label when it’s trying to make sense of discomfort.
But self-diagnosis through reels and TikToks often leads to hypervigilance, panic, and chasing the wrong solutions. Hello health anxiety!!!

Here’s the truth:
⚫️ You may not have 7 different syndromes.
⚫️ You may be overwhelmed, inflamed, sleep-deprived, and stressed.
⚫️ And yes, that can look a lot like ADHD, PCOS, thyroid issues, or an autoimmune condition.

🤍 Your symptoms are real.
But let’s stop asking the algorithm for answers your body is trying to whisper to you.

You deserve a full picture, not a filter.

I hope this was a good reminder to reach out to a professional rather than typing in your symptoms to TikTok, Google or even Chat.

Tara x 💛
