CORTISOL. When it's out of whack, it can leave us feeling fried.

Prolonged stress (not just the kind that's caused by being chased by tigers) can cause cortisol output to be disrupted.

This can look like:

👉 low cortisol in the morning (when it should be at its highest) = fatigue. Enter coffee.

👉 high cortisol at night when we should be winding down for sleep = wired

After air + water, the most essential element to human health is SLEEP!

Poor sleep quality + duration may contribute to:

• fatigue (obv)
• brain fog
• poor ability to make decisions
• obesity
• depression
• anxiety
• insulin resistance + diabetes
• high blood pressure

The list goes on...

What I notice in a clinical setting:

When sleep is improved, clients begin to experience increased motivation to implement healthy habits and improved ability to cope with stress.

Top tips for healthy improving sleep:

• screens away 60 mins before sleep
• go to bed at a decent hour (

PSA: It's time to get your vitamin D levels tested!

As we head into winter, it is a great time to get your bloods tested. Make sure Vitamin D is included (especially if you live in Victoria!!)

*Side note - Comprehensive blood testing should be done at least annually

Up to 80% of Victorians have sub- optimal levels of Vitamin D by the end of winter. So Vitamin D should begin, well.. now!

A low Vitamin D state is linked to:
• low mood, depression, anxiety
• low energy
• all Auto-immune disorders
• sleep problems
• frequent infections/illnesses
• muscle and joint pain

After testing, it is important to understand your results. An accepted value of vitamin D in Australia is > 50mmol. This is way too low... especially considering that this value will decrease throughout winter...

In sunny countries it is normal to have a Vitamin D value over 200mmol 🙌

It is important to work closely with your practitioner to understand correct dosage and to gain access to good quality supplements in order to achieve optimal Vitamin D (and did mention regular pathology testing?)

How long has it been since your vitamin D levels were tested? 😬

COFFEE. Why (the right amount) is good for you, but also when it may be time to have have a break.

The good.

+ A potent antioxidant
+ Contains magnesium which is often deficient in our diets (due to soil quality)
+ Supports health blood sugar regulation
+ Protective against neurological degenerative conditions

When it may be time to have a break:

- You rely on coffee's ability to increase energy. Coffee increases adrenaline output, giving a false sense of energy and keeping you in a fight or flight state. Long term this is inflammatory and may contribute to adverse health outcomes

- You are in a state of high stress. Coffee and stress both increase cortisol levels. Overtime, this can contribute to adrenal insufficiency and poor stress tolerance

- Your gut needs healing. Coffee can contribute to leaky gut and inflammation in the digestive tract. Give coffee a miss if you are working on your gut health

The right amount of coffee is fine to include in your diet, unless you are experiencing high stress, relying on coffee for energy or have gut inflammation. Which, unfortunately is most of us.

Give coffee the flick for a couple of weeks and see how you feel without to learn what effect it's having on your health.

ULTRALIGHT BEAMS

Nature therapy is always one of my most recommended forms of any therapy.

The reason I prescribe this is because I have experienced first hand how powerful and healing it has been in my own health journey.

Some days are harder than others to find the motivation and find everything else to do apart from.whats truely needed for me on that moment.

But I feel the moment I put my hiking shoes on and hit the incredible trails in the high country I being to notice the intrinsic beauty and feel the connection to the nature around me.

After some time walking everything becomes so peaceful and clear.

Your gut likes diversity. It's beneficial.

A diverse gut microbiome is what gives you the strongest immune system a well balanced digestive system.

FEED your good bacteria and they will diversify.

+ A wide variety of plant foods.
+ Spend more time outside.
+ Eat fermented foods. Daily.
+ Don't eat too much sugar.
+ Eat whole grains.
+ Drink green tea.

As a whole, the western world is losing diversity in gut microbiome. Things like antibiotic use, spending all of our time indoors, moving to city and exposure to chemicals has contributed to this loss in biodiversity.

Pick one microbiome diversifying tip, get it down pat... Move onto the next. Consistent changes are key ✌️

Love your guts.

Your gut is housing trillions of bugs. This community (your microbiome) consists of trillions of bacteria, viruses and funghi.

More and more research continues to identify how important your microbiome health is to:

• digestive functions
• mental health
• immune function
• hormone regulation
• weight management

In a nut shell, when we have too few or too many 'bad' bugs, dysfunction can occur, affecting a whole host of body systems.

Signs of possible microbiome imbalance:

• Constipation, diarrhoea, bloating
• Auto-immune conditions
• PCOS, endometriosis, fibroids
• Obesity
• Depression, anxiety, autism, ADHD
• Sleep disturbances + fatigue
• Sugar cravings
• Brain fog

It is important to take a multi-factorial approach to regaining microbiome health. In conjunction with dietary and lifestyle modifications, probiotics and prebiotics can help, however it is necessary to identify the right strain of bacteria for you! More on this time come.

If you suspect your microbiome may be out of whack, book in for a FREE 15-minute discovery call today and we can chat further. Link in Bio 💛

HAPPINESS. Actual footage of happiness: A protein molecule transporting serotonin in the brain. This neurotransmitter improves will-power + produces that feeling of well-being we call happiness. Most of us think about happiness in a logical context - when being happy is associated with doing things we enjoy, making us feel fullfilled. But the more science understands about the human body, the more we move towards the neuroscientific approach, where happiness is achieved when your body produces feel-good neurotransmitters, like serotonin. Seeing happiness from this perspective becomes more black and white. If you don't feel happiness then you are probably lacking in certain neurotransmitters. There a many proven methods to boost serotonin levels, these are some of my faves; • Spend time in nature • Eat foods that Boost serotonin: salmon, nuts, seeds, eggs, tofu, chicken, spinach • Exercise • Sunlight • Share your thoughts with a friend If you are struggling to find your happy, it might be nice to implement one or more of these simple strategies to help give you a boost.
