CHOLESTEROL ISN’T THE ENEMY… BUT NO ONE REALLY EXPLAINS THIS

For years, the message has been simple:
Lower cholesterol. Avoid it. Fear it.

But here’s what’s often not explained—

👉 Cholesterol is the precursor to all s*x hormones
👉 Every s*x hormone in the body is synthesised from cholesterol

Oestrogen
Progesterone
Testosterone

All begin here.

So when we’re talking about:
• hormonal imbalance
• fatigue
• mood changes
• perimenopause

…it’s worth asking a deeper question—

Is the body being supported to actually produce hormones effectively?

Because cholesterol isn’t just about cardiovascular health.

It also plays a role in:
• brain and nervous system function
• cell membrane integrity
• hormone production

This is where the conversation needs more nuance

It’s not:
“cholesterol is bad”
or
“more is better”

It’s:
👉 why is it elevated?
👉 how is it being used in the body?
👉 what is the broader metabolic picture?

Two people can have the same cholesterol level…
and completely different health outcomes.

Because context matters. Cholesterol isn’t the villain.
It’s part of the physiology.

And your body is always working with what it has available.

🌿 MOTHER’S DAY IDEA… BUT MAKE IT MEANINGFUL

Flowers fade. Chocolates last a week.
But what if this year… you gave something that actually changes how someone feels?

Because here’s what I see every day in clinic—
Women doing everything right… and still feeling tired, inflamed, stuck, or out of balance.

It’s not a lack of willpower.
It’s that most approaches are too generic.

Your body isn’t generic. Your nutrition shouldn’t be either.

✨ Metabolic Balance is different.
It’s a personalised, practitioner-guided nutrition program based on your individual biochemistry—
Not trends. Not guesswork. Not one-size-fits-all plans.

We look at what your body actually needs to restore balance, support hormones, stabilise energy, and reduce inflammation.

I just want to shine a spotlight on our counsellor and perinatal mental health midwife, Astrid.

Astrid is available via Telehealth and has a passion for empowering women prior to conception, throughout pregnancy and post delivery.

In fact, she can counsel you how to communicate with health care providers effectively so that you and your little one can receive the birth you hoped for (if there are no complications). Astrid comes with the awareness of being a mother, being in the hospital system as a midwife and the empathy of being a holistic counsellor and mental health nurse. She has it all! Everything you need to prepare for this most important stage of your family.

She CAN help you plan a CALM birth for your baby and I must say, a lot of kiddy issues can stem from a rushed birth process or an aggressive approach to birthing.

And ...,. Medicare rebates are available for certain consults.
These are - as a Mental Health Nurse and Pregnancy Counselling Services. You just need to sort a GP Referral

We’re not meant to stay unbroken — we’re meant to rebuild.

There’s a Japanese practice called Kintsugi — where broken pottery is repaired with gold.
Not to hide the cracks… but to honour them.

Because the break is part of supporting yourself Kintsugi reminds us that brokenness is not the end—it’s an opportunity for transformation.
Astrid spoke of this in our recent podcast episode

And when it’s rebuilt, it’s not returned to what it once was —
it becomes something stronger, more intentional, more beautiful because of what it has been through.

Life works in much the same way.

We all experience moments that fracture us — loss, stress, illness, change, overwhelm.
In those moments, it can feel like something in us has failed… like we’ve been “broken.”

But what if that’s not the truth?

What if those moments are not the end —
but the beginning of a different kind of rebuilding?

Not rushing to “fix” or return to who we were…
but taking the time to understand, to support, to gently restore.

Because real resilience isn’t about never falling apart.
It’s about how we come back together.

With more awareness.
More strength.
More compassion for ourselves.

And just like Kintsugi, the rebuild is never about perfection —
it’s about integration.

Holding the cracks, not hiding them.
Learning from them, not fearing them.
And allowing them to become part of the strength we carry forward.

✨ You are not broken.
✨ You are in the process of becoming.

“Have you ever been told what your symptoms actually mean?”

Most clients ask me "Why aren't we told this?"

At every consultation I will help you to understand why.
Why you have the symptoms you do and what that actually means.
Honestly, most times it is you body trying to help you - but you don't know that because you are not told that.
The current medical narrative is one that 'you can't trust your body', and that either surgery or medication will 'right the wrongs'

At your consultation with me I will explain to you EXACTLY what is happening and what those symptoms mean.
Every body system and every organ works in synchronicity with all the rest - nothing can be explored or treated on its own. It just doesn't work

Additionally, we need to understand what is happening, why it is happening and how to help the body heal.

If your body can come back from chemotherapy
Can birth a miniature human being
Then your body can heal - GIVEN THE CORRECT ENVIRONMENT

Your body has NOT turned against you and neither does it need to be CORRECTED
Your symptoms tell the naturopath exactly what is happening and their job
IS TO EXPLAIN IT TO YOU

In the current medial system where doctors have at most 10 minutes with you and are rushed and overwhelmed

They may not tell you this...........

Resilience is not a destination… it’s a lifelong process.

We spoke about this in today’s podcast episode — and it stayed with me.

Because so often, resilience is framed as something we arrive at.
As if one day we wake up and feel “healed”… steady… unaffected.

But that’s not how it works.

Resilience shifts.
It stretches.
It softens and rebuilds — again and again — across different seasons of life.

In today’s conversation with Astrid, we explored birth trauma, fertility journeys, reproductive trauma and perinatal loss… and the quiet, often unseen ways these experiences shape us.

One of the most beautiful metaphors we touched on was Kintsugi — the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with gold.

Not to hide the cracks.
But to honour them.

To recognise that what has been broken — and rebuilt — carries its own kind of beauty.

Maybe resilience isn’t about going back to who we were.

Maybe it’s about allowing ourselves to become something new…
with the gold woven through the places that once hurt.

Today I am working a 12 hour day. So I have a minute and run out to get lunch

"Black rice is more"
"Guacamole is more"
"Oh you want more than a teaspoon of meat? That is more"
"Lettuce isn't more"

Went to the Podiatrist last night
My health fund extras tell me "That will be more"

I renewed my office lease. The price is really competitive. It stays the same BUT
"a portion of land tax is more"
"fire extinguisher service is more"
"water rates is more"

I am thinking as I walk back from lunch -
In a world where everything is apparently MORE

I am proud to be a practitioner with MORE that charges less
Ten years of study (to date) and FOUR degrees means I can offer MORE but for the investment of ONE practitioner. And that is why I did it!

Hello to new faces here! Thanks for hanging out.

This is my face – and a little about me and why I do what I do
I am almost 63 and lived a somewhat chequered past.
I was the accidental product of a union between two alcoholics and mostly raised by my grandparents. On occasion I spent time with my young mother and on a couple of these occasions experienced s*xual abuse as a young child.

At 12, I developed Anorexia Nervosa after the death of my grandfather. My mother admitted me to Chelmsford Hospital with Harry Bailey as my doctor. If you know about Chelmsford, you will know there was a Royal Commission into the dangerous treatments leading to several deaths.
• This probably planted the seed of looking beyond the medical profession for help
• It definitely contributed to ongoing PTSD from trauma experienced there

From Anorexia, followed Bulimia and Orthorexia – winning awards at the gym, but suffering an addiction to ‘clean eating and exercise’ for many years. After all, isn’t that what females are taught!
• This is why I have created Brave Bites – a program to support women with ‘disordered eating’ and ‘eating disorders’.

As an adult I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis after years of trying to navigate both my physical and mental health. I was told “you must be medicated for the rest of your life”.
• This is why my special area of interest is autoimmune conditions, thyroid health and chronic fatigue. I will also tell you NO you do not need to be medicated ‘forever’.
• Naturopathy, Nutrition and Counselling CAN change this – no meds ‘for the rest of your life’

And this is the why – Why I keep studying – to deliver a biopsychosocial model of healthcare you don’t find very often, but it is the model of healthcare that works!
It has taken me ten years of degree qualified study to refine the integrative model of care that equates to ‘a one stop’ health and wellbeing clinic, but it doesn’t stop there –
I continue to improve now with a Masters of Psychology as we speak.
Why? Because you deserve the very best of care from a knowledgeable, educated practitioner at Harvesting Health! I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Not all fatigue needs fixing.

In clinical practice, fatigue isn’t always something to eliminate immediately.

It can reflect a shift in the body’s priorities —
energy being directed toward immune activity, repair processes, or nervous system regulation.

Pushing through fatigue may actually delay recovery.

Supporting the body often looks like:
• reducing load
• creating space
• allowing the process to occur

Not every symptom is dysfunction.
Some are adaptation.
This brings to mind the incredible fatigue David felt when his body was trying to fight cancer.......
Sometimes fatigue is your body saying:
“I’m working on something. Can you slow down?”

How often I tell my clients that I will improve their energy BUT "it is not yours to use". This gift is for your body to do what it needs to in order to bring back optimal health.



We don’t heal when we override the signal.
We heal when we listen.
