DID YOU KNOW?
Because I didn’t until recently…

Around 70% of a man’s testosterone is produced during deep, restorative sleep, with levels peaking early in the morning 🌅. Skimp on quality sleep, and your testosterone levels take a hit.

🍺 Beer unfortunately isn’t helping low testosterone levels either. Hops are loaded with phytoestrogens, plant compounds that mimic estrogen and can throw your hormones off balance.

There are many naturopathic treatment options for low testosterone, depending on the cause.

🌿 Pregnancy vs. Breastfeeding Nutrition.

We all know nutrient needs go up during pregnancy — but did you know they can increase even more during breastfeeding?

Postpartum, your body is working hard — and if those rising needs aren’t met, it’s easy to become depleted. This can impact energy, mood, recovery, and milk supply.

Nutrients like choline, DHA, zinc, and fluids are especially important during this time. Other nutrients such as vitamin A, iodine and vitamin C should also increase.

✨ These are general guidelines. Your individual needs will vary depending on your health, lifestyle, or level of exercise.

A personalised approach to nutrition needs to be adopted.

💚 Always work with a qualified practitioner to create a plan that supports you.

Focus on diet first, then supplement if necessary.

Note: pregnancy nutritional needs vary depending on the trimester.

On the weekend we ran the Melbourne Marathon! 🏃‍♀️

Massive congrats to everyone who got out there – it’s such a huge mental and physical challenge. Seeing people powering through 5, 6, even 7 hours on course… seriously inspiring 🙌

This was my second marathon (the first one was pre-naturopathy days) – what a difference it makes applying everything I’ve learned since studying and practicing in this space. I actually enjoyed the run this time around.

Running with friends + having RunDaye Coach in our corner was a game changer too.

Next mission is to sort out this chafe situation 🤗

😩Parenthood in the baby + toddler years is intense.

🥸So many mums I’ve spoken to recently are carrying stress, fatigue, brain fog and anxiety—and feeling like they have to smile through it. 😵‍💫

💪🏽There are supportive, evidence-based naturopathic tools to help you feel calmer, more grounded, and more you again.

🧑🏻‍⚕️Some supplements and herbs can affect breastmilk, or interact with medications like antidepressants or thyroid meds.

👩🏽‍⚕️That’s why I tailor support specifically to you—taking into
account whether you’re breastfeeding, on meds, or managing other health conditions.

🧡Safe, gentle, and effective support is possible. 🙂

Short answer = no.

Whole foods are your best source of nutrients.

However, certain situations such as pregnancy, vegan diets, disease, or older age can justify targeted supplementation.

Please note: supplements aren’t risk-free.
There has been a lot in the media lately regarding adverse effects of supplements.

Check-in with a qualified naturopath or nutritionist before taking any nutritional supplement.

Antibiotics and c-sections are life-saving. They can also impact breastfeeding, baby’s gut health, and immunity.⁠

Perimenopause isn’t talked about enough — and too many women are left navigating it alone.

I’ve been diving into new research and approaches that are changing the way we support this important phase of life.

🌿 You CAN find relief — and it doesn’t have to mean going on HRT.

From better sleep to fewer hot flushes, there are effective natural therapies that work with your body, not against it.

✨ I’m especially excited about new oestrogen receptor modulators — they enhance oestrogen function without adding more hormones.
This means improved symptom support, naturally.

🌿 Current supplements list as a naturopath who is breastfeeding and running 🌿

💪 Magnesium with Bs – magnesium is a lifesaver for muscle recovery, stress relief, and supporting my overall energy levels. The B vitamins are essential for energy and brain function (though my baby brain may be here forever).

🍼 Breastfeeding Multivitamin – Keeping nutrients in check for both me and my little one.

🌱 Qiara Breastfeeding Probiotic – Always on hand, especially when there’s a hint of mastitis. Lately, I’ve been relying on it to help prevent mastitis from broken skin from my little babe’s teething bites (excruciating).

🍄 Mushroom Capsule – Immune support, stress support, energy, and endurance all in one. I was burnt out recently, so using this to help build my resilience back.

💧 3-4L of Water – Hydration is KEY. I make sure to drink plenty of water every day and through the night, adding a splash of lemon juice and a pinch of salt to improve absorption. Proper hydration is essential for a strong milk supply. You can’t pour from an empty cup.

🍵 Weleda Lactation Tea – To encourage my milk supply.

WHAT YOU CAN’T SEE:

🩸 Iron – Iron levels can drop during pregnancy, breastfeeding and running. I take iron to keep my energy levels up and to avoid any deficiencies.

🍫 Chocolate – More essential than any other supplement. Woweeee this is so important in my day.

My supplements change over time, depending on blood results, what I’m doing and how I feel.

Always seek advice before self-prescribing.

You may have a HORMONAL IMBALANCE.

There are several signs and symptoms that can indicate hormonal imbalance in women.

Hormonal imbalances, especially with progesterone, estrogen, and thyroid hormones, can interfere with conception.

If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, it may be time to consider consulting with a naturopath to get a better understanding of what’s going on.

Your hormones can be tested at home (via saliva testing). The analysis can explain to us what is going on at the tissue level, rather than what is circulating in your bloodstream.

If anything is out of balance and you’re suffering, particularly with infertility, we can create a personalised approach to help balance them.
