Hi, I’m Janelle Zammit, the Naturopath at HealthMatters, and I see so many clients struggling with gut issues after taking antibiotics.
Sometimes antibiotics are necessary—but the key is knowing how to properly rebuild your gut afterward.

⸻

1. Probiotics Restore Good Bacteria
The right probiotic can help replenish lost strains, crowd out harmful microbes, and support digestion and immunity.
2. Gut-Healing Powders & Targeted Supplements
These may include:
• L-glutamine – to repair the gut lining
• Prebiotics – to feed beneficial bacteria
• Zinc carnosine – for mucosal healing
• Herbs like slippery elm or aloe vera to soothe inflammation
3. Personalised Naturopathic Support
Every gut is different. I tailor treatments based on your symptoms, gut history, and overall health to help you heal and feel your best. Choosing the right probiotic and gut powder is essential—and that’s where professional guidance matters.

Why repairing your gut matters.!

Rebuilding your gut supports:
• Stronger immunity
• Hormonal balance
• Glowing skin
• Better mood & mental clarity
• Regular, healthy digestion

Struggling with bloating, sluggish digestion or skin flare-ups? Natural remedies like chlorophyll can gently support your gut by promoting detoxification, reducing inflammation, and feeding beneficial bacteria — all essential for a healthier microbiome. Most people benefit from 1–2 teaspoons (5–10mL) of liquid chlorophyll daily in water or juice.

As a Kinesiologist & Naturopath, I help you get to the root cause — whether it’s stress, food sensitivities, or hormonal imbalances — and create a personalised plan to help you feel your best from the inside out.

Fibre is essential for gut and hormone health, and it can even support weight loss — but if it leaves you bloated or uncomfortable, your digestion might need some support first.

Why Fibre Is So Important for Your Health:

* Feeds your good gut bacteria – Supports a balanced microbiome
* Keeps you regular – Helps with detox and bowel movements
* Balances hormones – Removes excess oestrogen and toxins
* Repairs the gut lining – Reduces inflammation and leaky gut
* Stabilises blood sugar – Reduces cravings and energy crashes
* Supports weight loss – Keeps you full for longer and curbs overeating

But not all fibre is equal — and some types are much gentler on your gut than others.

✅ Low-Bloat Fibre Foods (Gentle on Digestion):
✔ Kiwi fruit – Helps with motility and natural bowel movements
✔ Strawberries & blueberries – Low FODMAP and rich in antioxidants
✔ Carrots & zucchini – Easy to digest, mild fibre
✔ Spinach & baby kale – Softer greens that are less gas-forming
✔ Pumpkin (butternut or Japanese) – Nourishing, anti-inflammatory
✔ Oats (rolled or quick) – Great soluble fibre for gut and energy
✔ Quinoa – High in fibre and protein, gluten-free
✔ Chia seeds (soaked) – Excellent for fullness and bowel health
✔ Psyllium husk (in small amounts) – Helps regularity without bloating

Still bloated after fibre? Your gut may need support first.
As a naturopath, I help you discover why fibre is causing discomfort and guide you through a tailored plan to heal your gut.

🔍 Test for gut imbalances like SIBO, candida or dysbiosis
Identify hidden food intolerances (FODMAPs, histamine, salicylates)
Use herbs, probiotics and nutrients to reduce bloating and rebuild gut health
Gradually reintroduce fibre in a way your body can tolerate

Fibre isn’t the enemy — when your digestion is strong, it’s one of your biggest allies in gut health, hormone balance, and weight loss.

Do You Suffer From Migraines?
Maybe it’s time to find the root cause — and finally feel pain free.

Common Migraine Triggers:

✨ Pathology testing to identify food intolerances, hormone imbalances, gut issues & nutrient deficiencies
✨ Targeted supplements to calm inflammation, support your nervous system and balance hormones
✨ Gut and liver support to lower histamine and clear excess oestrogen
✨ Lymphatic massage to gently reduce toxic load and support detox pathways

Let’s stop guessing and start healing — so you can live clearer, lighter and pain-free.

Struggling with Constipation? Let’s Get to the Root Cause.
Constipation is one of the most common concerns I see in clinic and it’s often uncomfortable, even painful. It can leave you feeling bloated, sluggish, and heavy, and may impact your mood, skin, and hormone balance. More importantly, it’s a sign your gut and detox pathways may need deeper support. The good news? With the right holistic approach, it’s highly treatable.

As a fully qualified naturopath, I use tools like Nutripath pathology testing, kinesiology, and iridology to uncover the root causes — whether it’s sluggish digestion, stress, food intolerances, or gut imbalances.

* I recommend targeted supplements like magnesium, probiotics, herbal bitters or gentle fibre blends to restore regularity
* Herbal support and lymphatic massage help stimulate healthy elimination and reduce toxin build-up.
* I also guide you with simple diet changes — like adding chia seeds, aloe vera juice, and other soothing gut nutrients to support daily bowel movements

Constipation doesn’t have to be your normal. Let’s get things moving naturally and gently from the inside out.
