Emotional trauma is a big piece of the chronic illness puzzle.

our body keeps the score.

That autoimmune condition that appeared out of nowhere... the gut issues no doctor can figure out... the nervous system that won't calm down no matter how much you meditate... the inflammation, the insomnia, the unexplained symptoms that keep piling up.

These aren't random. Your body is speaking a language that most conventional medicine isn't trained to understand.

Unresolved trauma doesn't just live in your mind... it reshapes your biology. It dysregulates your immune system, keeps your nervous system locked in fight-or-flight, disrupts your gut microbiome, throws off your hormones, and creates a state of chronic inflammation that becomes the foundation for so many of the symptoms you're dealing with today.

I see this pattern constantly in my functional medicine practice... patients who have tried everything, seen everyone, but no one has connected the dots between their past experiences and their present-day health struggles.

Here's what I want you to know... healing is possible. When we address both the physiological imbalances and the stored trauma your body is holding onto, transformation happens. Real, lasting change becomes possible.

This is the intersection of functional medicine and mind-body healing... and it's where the deepest work happens.

If you're tired of treating symptoms without addressing what's really keeping you stuck, let's work together.

I'm excited to be sharing the stage with Drs. Sandra Cabot & Prof Marc Cohen plus medicinal mushroom enthusiast Mason Taylor at the Bloom Inspiring Wellness Festival in Cairns this Saturday where I will be speaking on longevity and enduring health.

Here is the schedule in case you are in North Queensland and considering a visit.

Menopause symptoms aren’t just about declining levels of s*x hormones such as oestrogen and progesterone. In fact imbalances in glucose and insulin play a huge role too. When blood sugar stays high, it triggers insulin resistance, fueling fatigue, weight gain, and hormone imbalances. However with dietary interventions, circadian habits, and targeted support, you can restore balance to the blood sugar regulation system.

Here our nurse practitioner Julie Farrelly explains this point.

Menopause is more than hot flashes and night sweats—and quick fixes don’t get to the root cause.

Surface-level solutions leave too many women still feeling drained and off balance.
That’s why my approach combines nutrition, lifestyle, supplements, and HRT to restore strength, vitality, and long-term wellness.

Modern medicine often misses the mark—leaving women with fatigue, low mood, weight gain, and no real answers.

The truth? These symptoms aren’t “just part of aging.”
With functional medicine, advanced testing, and bioidentical hormone therapy, we can get to the root cause and help you feel like you again.

Too many women in their 40s–50s feel like they just can’t cope—struggling to keep up at work or in life.

Often, hidden imbalances like estrogen dominance and insulin resistance are at play.
With the right testing, personalized therapy, and lifestyle shifts, it is possible to restore balance, energy, and confidence.

Attention North Queenslanders ! I'm looking forward to speaking at this exciting event in Cairns titled Bloom Inspiring Wellness Festival on Saturday 11th October.

Another video snippet with our nurse practitioner Julie Farrelly.

Many women struggle with “menopause belly”? You’re not alone—glucose and insulin shifts are common during this stage of life.

The studies are now showing that targeted support including inositol, berberine, and (when appropriate) metformin can help regulate blood sugar and improve energy. Of course making sure your diet is supporting your metabolic goals is also paramount.

Menopause doesn’t have to mean a worsening of health outcomes —you can stay balanced through the process with simple integrative options.

Looking forward to speaking at the ACIIDS 2025 Conference this year in Sydney in October. As one of the founding members of this group, I believe it has extremely useful information to share.

My talk will focus on how environmental toxicants can negatively impact NAD+ and mitochondrial function by inducing oxidative stress, damaging mitochondrial DNA, disrupting the electron transport chain, and affecting mitochondrial dynamics and mitophagy, ultimately leading to reduced energy production and cell dysfunction.
