Bloating, brain fog, food sensitivities, skin issues, fatigue. These are not separate problems. They can all trace back to one root cause: a leaky gut.

Leaky gut, or intestinal hyperpermeability, occurs when the tight junctions in your gut lining loosen, allowing bacteria, toxins, and undigested food particles to pass into the bloodstream and trigger systemic inflammation.

The good news: it is testable and it is treatable.

I test for leaky gut using the GI Map stool test, which measures Zonulin, the protein that directly controls gut barrier permeability. An elevated result tells us the barrier is compromised and gives us a clear starting point for your protocol.

The protocol includes: Removing gluten and identifying food sensitivities Repairing the gut lining with L-Glutamine, zinc carnosine, butyrate, and targeted probiotics Addressing dysbiosis with personalised antimicrobial and prebiotic support Managing stress, sleep, and lifestyle factors that drive permeability

If you suspect leaky gut is behind your symptoms, the first step is testing. Book an initial consultation via the link in my bio to get a GI Map referral and a personalised plan built around your results.

7 signs you have an unhealthy gut.

Gut health goes far beyond bloating and bowel movements.

Your gut influences your hormones, skin, moods, energy, and your immune system function.

When the gut is out of balance, the effects show up in ways most people never connect back to digestion.

In this carousel I am walking you through 7 of the most common signs that your gut may need some support, including a few that often get blamed on stress, hormones, or just getting older.

If you recognise more than two or three of these, your gut health is likely a piece of your puzzle.

Comment GUT below and I will send you my free guide to understanding your gut health and practical nutrition and lifestyle hacks to improve your gut health. Or head to the link in my bio to book a consultation and we can look at what is actually driving your symptoms.

Most women are never told this! If you have hormonal symptoms and gut issues, they are probably not separate problems.

You have probably heard that gut health affects digestion. But there is another side to this that most women are never told.

Your gut bacteria play a direct role in how your oestrogen is metabolised and cleared from the body. A specific collection of bacterial genes called the estrobolome produces enzymes that regulate whether used oestrogen gets excreted or recycled back into circulation.

When the gut microbiome is out of balance, oestrogen can be reactivated and reabsorbed rather than eliminated. This contributes to higher circulating oestrogen and the symptoms that come with it. PMS. Heavy periods. Breast tenderness. Mood changes. Difficulty losing weight.

Research has also linked disrupted estrobolome function to conditions including PCOS, endometrial cancer, and breast cancer, pointing to how significant this connection actually is.

Even whether certain foods help your hormones depends on your gut bacteria. The ability to convert plant compounds called phytoestrogens into hormonally active metabolites varies entirely depending on which microbes are present in your gut.

This is why I assess gut health as part of almost every hormone case I see in clinic.

Comment HORMONES below and I will DM you a free guide on how the gut and hormones connect and what I look at in clinic.

Probiotics are everywhere right now. And they can be a really helpful tool.

But if you have been taking one for months and still feel bloated, uncomfortable, or just off, there is likely something more going on underneath.

A probiotic adds beneficial bacteria. What it cannot do is remove pathogens, repair a damaged gut lining, address low stomach acid, or clear an underlying infection. These are root cause issues that no standard over the counter probiotic ALONE will fix.

The GI Map stool test is one of the tools I use in clinic to actually see what is happening in the gut. It tests for bacterial pathogens, parasites, yeast overgrowth, candida, inflammation markers, digestive enzyme function, and whether the gut lining is intact (leaky gut).

When you have that information, you can stop guessing and start targeting the actual problem.

Comment GUT below and I will DM you a free guide on what the GI Map tests and whether it is right for you.

Still dealing with bloating, constipation or diarrhoea, even though you’re eating “healthy”?

This is your sign it’s not the food.

You’re not doing anything wrong. Your gut symptoms are often a sign of deeper imbalances that haven’t been identified yet.

Most women I see aren’t struggling because they’re doing the wrong things. They’re struggling because no one has looked at what’s actually causing their symptoms.

Bloating. Constipation. Diarrhoea. Food Sensitivities: These are not random. They are signals.

A personalised gut health treatment plan doesn’t just mask symptoms. It focuses on what is actually driving them like:
🦠 microbiome imbalances (good vs harmful bacteria)
🦠 digestive enzyme insufficiency
🦠 gut inflammation
🦠 intestinal permeability (leaky gut)
🦠 hidden infections like pathogenic bacteria, parasites or H. pylori

This is why I use GI-MAP microbiome testing.
It removes the guesswork and shows exactly what your gut needs.

Because once you address the root cause, everything changes:
🙌 less bloating after meals
🙌 more regular bowel movements
🙌 reduced gut discomfort
🙌 better energy and confidence in your body

If you’re tired of trying everything and still feeling stuck, this is your next step.

Book your initial consultation and let’s uncover what’s really going on

After thyroid hormone replacement therapy, approximately 15% of patients remain symptomatic despite achieving normal serum TSH levels. The pathophysiology of persistent hypothyroid symptoms despite adequate hormone replacement therapy is not well understood. Ginger has long been used in traditional medicines as a hot remedy for the treatment of cold temperament symptoms and signs such as tiredness, constipation, obesity and menstrual irregularities. Since these are quite like hypothyroid symptoms, scientists in Iran aimed to evaluate the efficacy of ginger in relieving such persistent symptoms in treated hypothyroid patients.

In this randomised, double blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial, 60 overt hypothyroid patients on hormone replacement therapy aged 20 to 60 years and with normal serum TSH concentrations were randomly allocated to ginger (500 mg twice a day of dried powder) or placebo for 30 days. Hypothyroid symptoms were evaluated as the primary outcome using the Thyroid Symptom Rating Questionnaire (ThySRQ) before and after the intervention. Anthropometric measures and laboratory indices including TSH, triglycerides (TG), total cholesterol (TChol), and fasting blood sugar (FBS) were assessed as secondary outcomes.

A significant lower mean total ThySRQ score (8.63 ± 5.47 vs. 15.76 ± 6.09, P < 0.001) was observed in the ginger group compared to the control group. Ginger led to significant improvements in the mean scores of the weight gain, cold intolerance, constipation, dry skin, appetite, memory loss, concentration disturbance and feeling giddy or dizzy domains (P < 0.001). However, no significant improvements were observed for hair loss, nail fragility, hearing, hoarseness, speech, and depression or feeling down (P > 0.05).

Ginger also led to a significant decreases in body weight, body mass index, waist circumference, serum TSH, FBS, TG, and TChol levels compared to the placebo. Generally, these changes were of a magnitude that is clinically relevant. For example, TSH fell by an average of 0.89 in the ginger group versus an increase of 0.95 in the placebo group. Similarly, body weight fell by an average of 2.43 Kg for ginger versus an increase of 1.12 Kg for placebo.
