The Live Lightly Centre

The Live Lightly Centre Naturopathic, nutritional, herbal medicine and other complementary health services. Thyroid: this deserves a special mention as I see so much of it.

Hi, I'm Tracey Walker and I am a fully qualified naturopath (Bachelor's Degree in Health Science) and since starting I have attained a degree in life experience, particularly helping people with stubborn, often undiagnosed and chronic illnesses. I often find that I am the "last resort" after people have exhausted all other avenues and not found answers, and I am totally okay with that! In particular my strengths are as follows:

Autoimmune disease: either diagnosed or undiagnosed, I can help you wind your way through the complicated and painful world of these chronic inflammatory systemic disorders. Often they come as a package deal (ie: more than one!) so that would have you seeing several specialists at once whereas we tend to treat the body as a whole. I explain what is happening to your body, why it is happening and how we treat from a holistic perspective. Female reproductive issues: PCOS, endometriosis, heavy or painful periods, irregular cycle, how to transition off the pill successfully, fertility issues, teenage "coming of age", acne, hormonal migraines, PNDD, PMS/PMT, perimenopause and menopause. Gut issues: diarrhoea, constipation, food sensitivities, reflux, IBS, coeliac disease, ulcerative colitis, Crohns, bloating, candida, recurrent UTI's, pain, mesenteric adenitis, eosinophilic esophagitis, stomach ulcers and gastritis

Mental health issues: anxiety, depression, OCD, ADD, ADHD, migraine/headaches associated with these issues, brain fog, lack of concentration, poor memory, confusion, overwhelming stress, insomnia

Skin issues: acne, eczema, rashes, dermatitis, hives, psoriasis

Whole family health: I see everyone from preconception to old age. Every stage has different physical, mental and emotional needs and hormonal challenges that go with it! It is most often an autoimmune disease but sometimes not and it takes people years to get diagnosed so I help them through this complicated issue. I coach you on how to speak to your doctor about testing, why your medication is not alleviating your symptoms, which tests to ask for and the difference between a "normal" thyroid irregularity and an autoimmune disease. And just WHY it is so important to know this. Chronic and complicated illnesses: I help people navigate their way through several chronic systemic inflammatory diseases such as fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, "adrenal fatigue", autoimmune disease, extremely inflamed gut issues and hormonal disorders - often all in the one body. When your doctors are confused and you have had enough, this is where I come in and I LOVE helping people find their way back to health and learning to understand their bodies and how they need to best support them. Full pathology reviews and polypharmacy: I like to work with doctors who will support the process and help to reduce polypharmacy (lots of different medications) as well as provide treatment that will not interfere with medication. I also give a holistic view on blood and other pathology tests which will most likely differ slightly from your doctor's view. I nearly always refer my clients back to their GP for a full set of bloods and a new perspective on their case. Me: I am a no nonsense, direct but extremely empathetic, supportive and loyal person to have on your team. I won't BS you, I will have your health (and pocketbook!) firmly at the forefront of everything I do. I meet you where you are at, not asking you to do things you are not physically or mentally capable of at this given moment. I have an irreverent sense of humour and I'm not afraid to use it! My consults are extremely informal and relaxed, a place for you to feel safe and heard and all designed to create a strong rapport. I am very evidence based, I love science and everything I recommend has a solid scientific background however if you tell me that something "outside of the realm" has worked for you in the past, we'll include that too. My only aim is to help you get better. My motto is "get you in, fix you up and get you out again!"

My clinic is located in Ellenbrook WA, 34 Ellen Stirling Parade, phone: (08) 6355 6246. I do face to face and phone consults and bookings can be made by calling reception or using the online "Book Now" button on Facebook. "Your Health is my Passion". Tracey Walker, Naturopath, BHSc (Nat)

It’s my last day tomorrow for 2026 as I have been lovingly reminding people 🤣💕 so I just thought I’d do my goodbye windup message early!

It has been a year of interesting reflections for me business wise, and I have made a few changes as you all well know,. The biggest of all is selling the building and losing my right arm Ali to retirement and puppy motherhood. 🐶

I have had to totally change the way I do business and the way I think about things and it has been a challenge at times to say the least. The biggest thing I’ve learnt is that loyalty matters to me more and more the older I get. When you book in to see me, you get the real deal. You get someone who is 100% committed to your progress and your return to health.

I am available to you pretty much at all times for emotional and practical support and to answer questions once you are “on the books” so to speak so my commitment to you is 24/7, until you decide to leave.

In return, I really appreciate those who have been loyal back to me.

Those who comment, “like” or share my posts. Those who continue to buy supplements from me when in some cases you may be able to purchase from others who do not have, shall we say, the same “industry ethics” that I may have.

Practitioner only supplements are only meant to be sold in conjunction with a natural health practitioner appointment and the ethical thing to do is to refer someone back to their original prescribing praccy should they be approached elsewhere, however there seems to be a LOT of none of that going on! 😂

I appreciate the people who refer others to me and I appreciate the people who keep coming back, even years after the initial consult because hopefully they connected with me and I helped them previously, and I really appreciate those who suggest me on community pages I’m not even a member of if someone asks for a “good naturopath”!

I appreciate those of you who share little “interesting snippets” that you may have found online that you think I might like and I appreciate when people share their great results with me, either between appointments or publicly on my page.

I appreciate those who have to face their own personal demons in order to book an appointment with me and I appreciate those who come back in even if they think I am going to be disappointed with them for something they’ve done in between. Big hint to y’all, I am NEVER disappointed in my people. My job is to support and help not judge.

There are so many of you out there without whom I would not/could not be as successful as I am and I appreciate you all more than words can express right now.

I am getting older so the simple things in life matter more to me than ever. I would rather work with fewer people who are fully committed than many who are just “trying a new thing” and I really think it's getting to that stage with my amazing clients at the moment. It means that most of you are tough nuts to crack but luckily, I am a tougher nut to do the cracking!

I wish you all the most wonderful Christmas and holidays with your chosen families and I hope to see all my oldies (current clients!) and lots of newbies in the 2026. May it be a year of rewarding challenges and changes.

Much love to all. 🙏💕🙏💕

Hi all, just a friendly reminder that tomorrow (Saturday 13th) is my last day in the office for three weeks, I will be back on deck Tuesday January 6th.

If you need physical pick up of supplements I am available tomorrow after my last client, around 1.15pm. Please let me know you’re coming and what you need so I know I have it in stock for you. 👍

I am working on getting the expired MyScript orders renewed for you as well (just a hint, if you get the expiry email please get onto me ASAP if you want it renewed. It takes two seconds for me to extend the date as opposed to having to re-do the whole script once it has expired!).

That’s all for now, have a fabulous Friday! 🙏💕

Christmas musings!

I wrote this 10 years ago and a dear friend re-shares probably nearly every year so if she likes it so much, it must be alright! 🤣

Enjoy:

The silly season is about to hit and as usual the pressure to cram everything in before an arbitrary date (usually Christmas) has a cumulative effect on people's health and temper.

This year, as with every year, I will concentrate on the "less is more " approach.

I will pay particular attention to what is actually IMPORTANT in my life and try not to succumb to external pressures to conform financially or with my precious time. I'm getting better at it every year and I only wish I had started decades ago but you're never too old to learn.

The only "health advice" I am going to give for this season is not about spacing drinks or having "spritzers" or eating healthy stuff before you go to cocktail parties blah blah blah, its about listening to YOU and what you really need.

Its about giving yourself permission to say "no" to invites that aren't important, to listen to your inner voice or ethics when it comes to present buying or giving (whatever they may be), to follow or make your own traditions if other's don't sit well with you and to make time for yourself.

Its about having over for Chrissy dinner who you WANT to have over not who you feel you have to or its about giving yourself permission to escape the whole damn thing by going away with the family and not feeling guilty about it.

Its about realising that if you can't catch up with those favourite people before Christmas hey guess what, there's a whole rest of your life that you can do that in so book it for January and extend the love-fest and its about hopefully being grateful for the year that was and excited about the year to come.

And it is very much about realising that for some it is a season of love and joy and family, and for others it is a time of unimaginable sadness, grief, stress or tragedy. Not everybody has the same Christmas experience. 😢

So this silly season I would love people to give themselves a break. You're allowed to, you work hard and you deserve it! ❤

I read an article this morning about the importance of “mattering” to your care provider, and what a difference that makes in getting results.

I thought what a fabulous article that was as I feel that these days, a lot of people feel like they don’t matter to anyone, least of all their medical care providers.

At the risk of sounding immodest, I do think that is one of my greatest strengths, ever. I make people feel like they matter, because they DO.

I am excited when I see a bunch of symptoms on a new form because I KNOW I can help people with them.

I love it when people have been from pillar to post because I know (or at least I hope) they will have found a soft space to land with me.

Everybody and everything MATTERS to me.

What you have to say, what you think your original cause of illness was, what your thoughts are, what your life is like outside of my office, what your past was, what you’ve tried before that did or didn’t work, what your financial situation is, what you have been diagnosed with (or not) and what you want to get out of our consult.

It all matters to you, so it all matters to me.

What a funny little word, and what a hugely powerful impact it can make on someone’s mood and motivation. You matter. 🙏💕💕💕

🎈 Last few appointments for 2025! 🎈

There are a few appointments left for the year before I go on leave:

Today Tuesday 9th December - between 1 and 3pm

Thursday 11th December - 11am and between 2.30 and 4pm.

I can't give exact times as follow ups and initials are different times and there are a few gaps as well that I could squeeze people in to if you were desperate!

This Saturday 13th December is the last day for physical pick up of supplements and herbals too, 1.15pm.

Please let me know prior to coming what you need so I make sure I have it in stock.

Have a wonderful rest of the week! 🥰

To book, please see link in comments. ☎️

Start your week with order! Now I know this may seem obvious to so many, but I’m sure there are others who need to hear this!

I keep telling my boys - put your clothes away, tidy your room and get your week in order. If you start with a clean slate, no matter what goes down through the week you’ve at least started well.

That may include things like:

Washing done, ironed and put away (trust me, as a mother of younger boys I know the “living out of a laundry basket” thing is alive and well, but at least do ONE of them!). Oh, and drip-dry clothing has been a godsend for me. 😉

Iron shirts for the week instead of daily. Hubby does his daily, I couldn’t stand that. When I was in a job that required ironed clothes I did it all at once so I didn’t have to think about it again during the week.

Plan your meals.

Cook some meals or meal prep lunches for the week on the weekend.

Make your bed at least for Monday morning, preferably with clean sheets from the weekend.

Book in your exercise classes/times or friend catch ups.

Have a “to do” list so you know what needs to be done and you don’t miss big ticket items. This can even include “caring” things like “check in on Sally coz she was sad last week!”

At least have Monday night’s dinner sorted either in your head or for on the way home.

Start the week as healthy as you can – good quality food, don’t overeat, minimal processed foods, take your supplements, drink your water, do your gratitude’s/meditations, go for a walk. If nothing else good happens that week, at least you’ve started strong. 💪

Check your work schedule and make sure you can fit in some breaks or “fun time”.

If you have kids make sure you’ve got the groceries set for lunches at least, and got their uniforms washed and ready.

I almost didn’t want to write this post as I know most people would know this and the others would be so mentally and physically challenged by whats going on in their lives they’ll be spitting chips at me but for those of us in between, for those who just needed that gentle reminder here it is.

Get yer s**t together, for Monday at least. 🤣

🎄1 Saturday left til break! 🎄- Last reminder til Chrissy break!

This Saturday is fully booked but I have a waitlist in case someone cancels and you need one. After this, its "see you in 2026!!!"

This also goes to remind you to get your follow ups sorted so you've got a Christmas survival plan and get your supplements if you need top ups. I have one or two apptointments left this week if this is you.

Of course there are spots left for initial consultations too, never too late to get started on your health, dont let this year be another year you let it slide!

If you're desperate and it appears you can't find a spot online let me know and I'll see what I can do for you.

My clients PLEASE make sure your MyScript account is current as well as I have just had another bunch of expiry notices and I'm off for 3 weeks over the break! 🤓 Saturday is my last day til Jan 6th.

It is much easier for me if you contact me when you get the expiry notice than after it has expired as I have to do a whole new script then.

Cheers and have a great week! 🙏💕

I absolutely LOVE this!

As a self proclaimed "animal tragic" I am getting more and more animal focused as I age.

Looking back even as a kid I had always had huge love and affinity for them but when this research came out about how much animals can assist with trauma therapy where perhaps humans struggled, I felt it in my bones.

Lifted from the article:

• A review of 69 studies found that interacting with animals is linked to reduced stress (lower cortisol, heart rate, and blood pressure), as well as better social behavior and enhanced psychological well-being.

• Petting animals releases oxytocin and reduces anxiety.

• Petting animals reduces feelings of loneliness.

• A systematic review of "assisted dog therapy" for children with complex trauma found that adding animal assisted therapy can enhance the efficacy of standard interventions.

Having a pet or working with animals can be such a beautiful form of "therapy" whether you realise it or not.

I know for sure my pooch has helped me through some pretty rough times myself and I don't want to ever think of a future without him. 😭

More is not always better.

Remember me telling you a few posts ago about this guy that does his own blood sugar experiments on himself and the results of eating quickly or slowly on your blood sugars after a meal? Well he did one with the old ‘walk after a meal’ trick.

He used a base meal of chicken and rice which really spiked his blood sugars because there was a lot of rice (not sure of the order he ate it though, that would have been an interesting result too) and then he did it again a few days in a row doing a half hour slow walk (so slow he was bored), a half hour moderate walk (enough to get a bit of a sweat up but you can still talk) and a half hour higher intensity walk which was quite active and you couldn't hold a long conversation.

The results were surprising.

The slow walk reduced the spike by about 10 points which was good. The moderate walk by about 20 which was excellent, but the faster walk smashed the blood sugars through the roof.

This in itself is not bad as when you do higher intensity exercise often your cortisol rises and releases stored sugars to allow you to complete your workout, which then theoretically would lower the sugars as a rule because of the exercise using them all up.

It was an interesting experiment in two ways for me.

Number one a blood sugar spike is not always a “bad” thing (it’s the ongoing high blood sugars that cause the issues) and number two, if you wanted the benefits of lowering a high GI meal, any exercise is good but moderate proved best in this case.

Kinda like Goldilocks and the three blood sugar remedies, moderate is juuuuuuuust right. 🐻☺️🥰
