When your routine goes out the window, your symptoms usually notice first.

If you live with chronic illness, routine is not just “nice to have”. It is one of the ways your nervous system, immune system and hormones stay regulated. So when life gets messy, flares are not you failing, they are your body asking for more support.

You do not have to do this perfectly for it to help. Small, consistent choices still count.

Save this for the next time your routine gets disrupted, and share it with a friend who is trying to manage symptoms in a very non-perfect life. If you would like more personalised help to stabilise things, you can book a consultation via the link in my bio.

When we asked patients what they value most about working together, a few themes kept coming up:

“I felt heard and not like I was crazy.”
“The only person to truly empathise with me through the nightmare of missed diagnoses and gaslighting.” – Ali
“She understands complex tick-borne illness and knows how to treat it.” – Leanne

If you have been dismissed or disbelieved, you are not imagining it and you are not alone.

If you’ve been stuck in the loop of pushing, crashing, and starting over… this is your sign.

Slowing down isn’t weakness. It’s strategy. When your nervous system is constantly on alert, your body can’t prioritise repair.

Pacing, recovery buffers, and lowering the daily load can be the difference between “getting by” and actually healing.

Save this for later and come back to it on your hard days.

Most people are told to fear cholesterol, but the story is far more nuanced than a red number on a lab sheet.

I recently checked my annual bloods and, despite the new guideline changes, my cholesterol sits exactly where I want it. Why? Because cholesterol is essential for brain health, hormone production, metabolism, and healthy cell function. Low isn’t always better. Optimal is.

Reference ranges often come from population averages, not from truly healthy people. And sometimes they shift for reasons that have nothing to do with optimal physiology.

So if your results come back flagged, don’t jump straight to fear or pharmaceiticals. Look at the full picture: triglycerides, HDL, LDL patterns, inflammation markers, Vitamin D, and how you actually feel.

Better information leads to better decisions about your health.

If you are living with mould illness, Lyme or other complex chronic conditions, your health is not something we can untangle in a single consult. Symptoms shift, layers reveal themselves over time, and your history and genetics all change how illness shows up in your body.

This is why I only work with patients inside a container. It gives us time and closeness to really understand what is happening for you, and to move through a step by step process that your body can actually handle.

It is not so that you stay a patient for longer. It is so that you have the structure, support and continuity you need to get well and stay well. That is always my only goal.

If you have been referred to see me, you are welcome to reach out. If I have capacity and feel I can help, we will explore working together. If not, I will do my best to point you to someone who can.

Getting a diagnosis shouldn’t cost you your savings, but for a lot of people it does. Appointments, testing, travel, supplements, time off work, repeat consults because you’re still “not sure what it is”… it adds up fast.

And the hardest part? You can spend thousands and still be left without clear answers.

If you’re in that limbo right now: you’re not being dramatic. You’re navigating a system that makes “proof” expensive.

Lyme doesn’t usually follow the textbook, especially in Australia.

Most patients never see the classic bullseye rash, their symptoms build slowly rather than suddenly, and co-infections look different to what you’ll read in overseas guidelines.

That’s why so many people get misdiagnosed, misunderstood and miss that critical acute treatment window.

If your symptoms don’t make sense, take the tick borne disease quiz to see if you might need to investigate further.

The US just held a federal Lyme roundtable and announced a $10M push to improve diagnostics using AI.

Meanwhile, how many people here are still being told it’s “stress”, “anxiety”, or “just in your head” while their symptoms drag on for months or years?

Current Lyme testing can miss early and late-stage infection, and up to 1 in 5 patients can go on to have persistent, life-altering symptoms. Patients deserve better than being dismissed. They deserve accurate testing, earlier detection, and proper long-term care.

Australia, when?

If you’ve been through the diagnostic limbo, drop a “HELP” or share your experience (only if you feel comfortable). The more we talk about it, the harder it is to ignore.

Modern life is weirdly good at making us unwell.

I’m seeing it more and more: people who eat well, move their bodies, sleep decently, and “do all the right things”… getting sick and staying sick. A cold that drags on for weeks. Back to back bugs. Fatigue that doesn’t bounce back.

It’s not that you’re weak. It’s that your immune system and nervous system are trying to function in an environment we were never designed for: constant stress and urgency, indoor living with poor light signals, screens at night, less true recovery, more ultra-processed food, and a bigger daily exposure load from things like chemicals and pollutants.

Health isn’t just good habits. It’s capacity.

If you’ve been thinking, “Why can’t I shake this?”, you’re not alone. Start small: protect your sleep, get morning light, prioritise real food, keep your movement steady, and give your body daily decompression.

Save this for the next time you feel like your body is failing you. It’s communicating.

We still hear it all the time “Ticks in Australia don’t carry Lyme.”

But when you look at what’s actually happening in real clinics with real patients, the story is very different.

People are being bitten.
People are getting sick.
And many of them are developing long-term, Lyme-like illness that doesn’t magically resolve because the label is disputed.

Whether you call it Lyme, Lyme-like or tick-borne complex, the symptoms are real and the impact is huge. Ignoring it only delays treatment and prolongs suffering.

If you’ve had a tick bite and your body hasn’t been the same since, you don’t have to guess your way through it. Early intervention genuinely changes the trajectory.

Book a consultation if you need help understanding your symptoms and what to do next.
