Smooth, comfortable digestion starts with your nervous system.
If you’re eating in a rushed, stressed state, your body is in "fight or flight" — not "rest and digest".

✨ Quick tips:

✔ Take 5–10 slow belly breaths before eating
✔ Step away from your desk, phone, or screen
✔ Eat calmly, without rushing

Small shifts = less bloating, more efficient digestion, and more enjoyment from your food.

Lactose vs Dairy Intolerance

Did you know lactose intolerance and dairy intolerance aren’t the same thing?

🥛 Lactose intolerance happens when your body can’t break down the sugar (lactose) in milk. This often shows up as bloating, cramping, or urgency soon after having milk or dairy products.

🧀 Dairy intolerance is different. It’s usually a reaction to the proteins in dairy (casein or whey), which can cause digestive upset, inflammation, or even skin and sinus symptoms.

If you feel worse after dairy, it doesn’t automatically mean you need to cut all dairy out forever. Which one you’re dealing with will guide the best next step.

Tools like elimination diets, food intolerance testing, or a breath test can help pinpoint what’s really going on, and the treatment approach is different depending on the result.

💚 If bloating or discomfort has you wondering which one applies to you, get in touch. Knowing for sure can save you from unnecessary restriction and help you enjoy food with confidence again.

Ever planned your outfit around how bloated you feel?

That “puffy, frumpy, can’t-button-my-jeans” feeling is something I hear about all the time.
You start the day feeling fine, but by the time dinner or an event rolls around, you’re digging through the wardrobe for the loosest, stretchiest clothes to hide your belly.

It’s not just about comfort either, bloating can make you feel self-conscious.

While bloating is "common", it’s not normal.
And you shouldn't have to live your life around it.

Imagine choosing your outfit because you love it, not because it hides your belly.

This lovely client had been struggling with health problems for years and felt frustrated after trying many medications and approaches without success.

Here’s what she shared about her experience:

“Rebecca was amazing. She helped me in a way no doctor could. I had been suffering for 4–5 years and was on so many medications that didn’t help at all. Rebecca and the Metabolic Balance program have brought me back to life.

I knew it was working when my weight started dropping, my bloating eased, and the beautiful supplements Rebecca recommended helped me in ways no medication ever did.

Life now looks beautiful. The program taught me so much about what’s good for my body, how to eat right, and most importantly, how to feel good about myself again.

I loved everything about the program. Rebecca’s suggestions and ideas got me to where I am now. Rebecca all the way! I’ll be recommending her and the Metabolic Balance program to everyone.”

💚 *Balanced by Design is about more than nutrition - it’s about helping you feel like yourself again and getting your life back.

Bloating can feel like a mystery, but sometimes, the simplest foods can make a huge difference.

🌿 Certain foods are natural digestive aids:

✨ Ginger → calms the stomach + supports motility
✨ Pineapple & papaya → contain enzymes that help break down protein
✨ Turmeric → anti-inflammatory + soothing for the gut

Here’s one of my favourite ways to combine them into a gut-friendly, immune-boosting drink:

Anti-Inflammatory Smoothie

1 cup unsweetened almond milk
1 cup pineapple chunks
½ tbsp ginger root (peeled + grated)
¼ cup vanilla protein powder
½ tsp turmeric

👉 Blend until smooth. Sip. Enjoy.

Whenever I start feeling low energy, unwell, frumpy and sluggish, I know it’s time to come back to the basics.

✨ I jump straight back into the main phase of my Balanced by Design program for a few weeks - the part that always creates change.

That means:

✔ Cutting out the “extras” sugar, alcohol, mindless snacking
✔ Refocusing on balanced meals that stabilise my energy and digestion
✔ Moving my body in ways that reset me without overdoing it. Walking, Pilates, or yoga and light strength training
✔ Reading and revising goals
✔ Drinking plenty of water

This isn’t about perfection. It’s about focusing on you and having a plan to return to when you feels off track.

💚 That’s the beauty of Balanced by Design. It’s not a diet you “fall off.” It’s a foundation you can come back to, again and again, to feel lighter, clearer, and more like yourself.

👉 Do you have a “reset” routine that helps you feel better?

Bloating isn’t just uncomfortable - it makes you feel frumpy and sluggish as you reach for your stretchy pants.

Here are 5 simple things you can start today to feel lighter:

1️⃣ Slow down and actually chew your food (proper digestion starts in your mouth).
2️⃣ Drink more water - dehydration is a hidden cause of constipation and bloating.
3️⃣ Eat balanced meals with protein, healthy fats, and fibre.
4️⃣ Avoid constant snacking. Give your gut a break between meals.
5️⃣ Breathe before you eat - lowering stress and switching to "rest and digest" side of your nervous system helps digestion work better.

These small changes make a big difference.

💚 My Balanced by Design program helps you uncover your unique triggers and gives you back your confidance and feel comfortable again.
