Thursday 19 February
10:00am – 11:30am

All with a respectful interest in homebirth are welcome.

We hope to see you there!

Things that made us happy this week at Katie Blakely Wellness.

Mannix being his gorgeous self, a very proud sourdough moment, and a red lentil + feta shakshuka that absolutely delivered. Dinner dates, gym sessions and time spent with our fav humans.

A wander through (always a good idea), brekkie at at Mountain Gate, Maggie perfecting the art of the afternoon nap, and that stunning view from the Thousand Steps.

The little things that keep us grounded, well fed, and ready for another week in clinic.

As the weather cools, the foods naturally available to us begin to change too. Autumn brings an abundance of nourishing produce that suits slower cooking and warming meals.

Seasonal autumn produce includes foods like pumpkin, sweet potato, carrots, beetroot, broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, kale, mushrooms, apples, pears, figs, grapes and mandarins.

Eating seasonally often means produce is fresher, more flavourful, and harvested closer to peak ripeness, while also supporting local growers.

A few simple ways to use autumn produce:

• Roast vegetables like pumpkin, carrots and sweet potato for easy dinners
• Add roasted vegetables to salads for a warm, nourishing meal
• Use apples and pears in baked oats or stewed fruit
• Make hearty soups using broccoli, cauliflower and leeks

Save this post so you have a quick guide to autumn produce next time you’re planning meals or heading to the shops.

Autumn hit the calendar and suddenly everything in my kitchen needs to be slow-cooked.

It doesn’t matter that it’s still 28 degrees and humid as hell in Melbourne… the casserole pot is out, something is stewing, and I’m pretending there’s a crisp breeze outside instead of sweating in the kitchen 😂

Honestly, this is classical Dani.

There’s just something about this season that flips a switch in my brain. Suddenly I want slow-cooked dinners, cosy food, and the house smelling like something that’s been bubbling away all afternoon.

Is it objectively too warm for a casserole?
Yes.

Will that stop me?
Absolutely not.

Autumn behaviour has begun.

If you’d like the recipe, send us a DM or shout out in the comments and I’ll happily send it through.

Periods can shift in your 40s, but that doesn’t mean anything goes. There is still a range of healthy when it comes to cycle length, bleed duration, and flow.

Knowing what sits within that range helps you spot when your body is asking for support rather than silence. Education here is power, not panic.

You do not have to just deal with it. Heavy, painful, or erratic periods are common in the 40+ crowd, but they are still worth assessing and supporting.

If your periods have changed and you’re not sure what is normal anymore, book a discovery call and we will go through it together.

Choline is an essential nutrient that acts like a cross between a B-vitamin and a structural building block for your cells.

It’s required to make phosphatidylcholine (a major component of cell membranes), acetylcholine (a neurotransmitter for memory and muscle contraction), and compounds involved in liver fat metabolism and methylation.

Adequate intake supports brain function, mood regulation, liver health, and healthy homocysteine balance.

Suboptimal levels are surprisingly common, especially in women, and may contribute to fatty liver, cognitive changes, and impaired detoxification pathways. It’s not sexy, but clinically, it’s foundational.

Meal prep does not have to mean spending your entire Sunday batch-cooking a week of identical meals.

Most women do better when they keep it simple: a couple of breakfasts, a few lunches and at least one dinner sorted, then getting smart while they’re already in the kitchen by chopping extra veg, marinating protein or cooking double portions for later in the week.

Some weeks will be messy and motivation will be low, but the point isn’t perfection, it’s reducing decision fatigue and making sure there is nourishing food available when energy is flat and life is busy.

For me, sitting down once a week to map out meals, order groceries and spend an hour prepping a few components is a non-negotiable for stable energy, adequate protein and fibre, and supporting insulin and hormone regulation.

It’s one of the most practical habits I see benefit our current KBW clients because it keeps nutrition consistent without adding more mental load. Women already have enough on their plates, and having balanced meals ready to go is one of the quickest ways to stay properly nourished through a full week.

The amount of times I've seen women prescribed treatment for their v*final symptoms without testing... And then symptoms have persisted and we've needed to look deeper anyway.

Testing the v*final microbiome gives us a clear and specific treatment strategy to best support what's actually going on - with a mixture of:
🌺 Strain specific probiotics
🌺 Custom made pessaries
🌺 Herbal medicine, if indicated
🌺 Changes in hygiene practices

If you're wondering what's going on with your v*ginal health, or want to know more about your microbiome, book in with either Dani or myself & we can help you to take the next steps 🍑

A lovely day catching up in the clinic 🩷

Dani & I catch up once a fortnight to chat all things KBW - running a business is so much better when you have such an awesome human by your side!

I’m not sure about you, but I don’t remember much from Year 8 health class, and I’m fairly certain no one walked us through the full hormonal lifespan of a woman.

Puberty, pregnancy, postpartum and perimenopause are all distinct endocrine transitions. Each phase shifts oestrogen and progesterone patterns, alters stress physiology, changes insulin sensitivity, and increases nutrient demand.

Of course you’re going to feel different in these stages. The body is adjusting to a completely new hormonal environment.

When we understand the physiology, we can respond properly, with targeted nutrition, realistic expectations and appropriate support.

Different stage. Different demands.

I’m curious, which stage do you think we’re the least educated about?

Recurring v*ginal symptoms like irritation, thrush, or UTIs aren’t random; they reflect how your hormones, gut health, immunity, stress, and lifestyle all interact.

Temporary fixes might ease symptoms for a moment, but they don’t address the root cause.

Here at Katie Blakely Wellness, we focus on understanding what’s actually driving your v*ginal symptoms.

We help you see how your body works, and empower you with knowledge and tools to support it long-term — so if issues ever return, you know how to respond.

A personalised, root-cause approach reduces recurrence, builds confidence, and helps you take control of your overall reproductive and urinary wellbeing -instead of relying on solutions that only work temporarily.

Ready to take the first step? Book a discovery call and let’s create a plan that actually works for you.
