"Move forward. Good things are up ahead."

Is 2023 your year?

Your HEALTHIEST year?
The year you FEEL YOUR BEST both physically & mentally?

You can do it in just 12 weeks by following your own Metabolic Balance Personalised Nutrition Plan.

The results I've seen in clinic with Metabolic Balance have been amazing.

Changes my patients have seen include:
🎉 loss of stubborn weight (hormonal tummies, I'm looking at you!)
🎉 improved energy
🎉 improved sleep
🎉 reduced hot flushes & other menopausal symptoms
🎉 the disappearance of joint pain

Metabolic Balance will:
✨ give you a full health assessment
✨ give you a personalised food list for your individual health goals
✨ take the confusion out of what to eat
✨ give you a nutrition plan that you can come back to whenever you need a reset
✨ give you access to a fully qualified practitioner for the entire program
✨ teach you how to maintain your newfound health once you've finished your 12 week program

12 weeks on Metabolic Balance could be the most important thing you ever do for yourself and your family.

Today marks the start of the NHAA's Herbal Medicine Week for this year.

Herbs for a huge part of my life in both my clinic and in my daily life. I'm forever grateful for the healing that they bring to my patients and myself.

Over the years I've heard them described in many different ways by the people who pass though my doors.
"witches brew"
"the potion"
"that vile stuff"
"magic in a bottle"

No matter what my patients call my herbal formulas, one thing they can all agree on is that they work!

This week I'll be sharing a few posts on herbal medicine and how I use it to treat various conditions.

Women so often hold things back.

We don't say what we think. We often don't allow ourselves to feel what we feel. We don't do the things that we want.

Sometimes there are real reasons for this but a lot of the times there aren't.

We owe it to ourselves to check in and see what we are missing.

What would allow you to feel free?

Just think of something small, that would make a little difference and carve out a bit of space for yourself.

You'll function better and have more to give.
You're worth it.
The people around you are as well.

I see you and the struggles you're having in this new phase of your life.

You're not alone.

I listen to ladies just like you and help them to craft a treatment with food, herbs and nutrients that will get you through the bumpy patches.

Call me or book in for a Discovery Call where we can discuss your options and how I can help.

The details are in my bio above.

Don't suffer in silence!

This year the theme for World Menopause Day is Cognition and Mood.

"Cognitive complaints are frequent in midlife women and are associated with decreased quality of life [1]. These cognitive complaints are reliably validated and documented across the menopause transition (MT)....."*

Hormonal changes that start during perimenopause make huge changes in a woman's brain. This can lead to distressing and debilitating effects such as anxiety, depression, brain fog, and fatigue.
In clinic, I see a lot of women who are experiencing these sorts of symptoms and I'm grateful every day to have my herbal and nutritional tool chest to draw from. Being able to ease these sorts of concerns and get women back on track is something I love doing.

The Aztecs and Incas used yam as a women’s medicine. It helped to reduce menstrual pain, and for labour relief.

Today, wild yam is used for its anti-inflammatory properties.
It can reduce pain from intestinal cramping, and relieve pain from arthritis, joint and muscles, neuralgia and inflammations. It may also assist blood sugar regulation. Some traditional medicine practitioners also suggest using wild yam to support symptoms of menopause.
Get in touch if you want to find out more about how I prepare herbal remedies using wild yam.

What is one thing I want you to know about the Metabolic Balance program?
It can be done.
I know you’re feeling like nothing is working anymore. The things you once did to lose the weight just don’t work anymore. And it’s not even about the weight anymore.

You just feel blegh.

But it’s time to cut yourself some slack - you have changed since then. It’s no longer about food restriction and exercise – we need to go deeper and get to the root cause of what is happening for you.

We do this with testing, and come up with a personalised plan that is just right for you – not a one size fits all approach. To balance your hormones. To reset your health.
I work with you personally through the program to support you to get back into balance.

If you are committed to change, this world-renowned program might be just what you need.

The weather is heating up, and it's time to remember how important hydration is for your health!

But - how do you actually optimise your hydration?

I’m often asked in clinic which water filters I recommend.
It’s taken me a while but I’ve found my absolute favourite filter that ticks all the boxes for me.
The Zazan Alkaline Water system offers you exceptional quality for optimum hydration and health !

Life can get hectic. Preparing meals that nourish our health and support our metabolic balance doesn’t need to be complicated. No fuss. This is one of the meals on my plan.

I can make a big batch and freeze leftovers for lunches throughout the week, or as a freezer “fake-away” meal, when my motivation for cooking is low!

The September equinox (or southward equinox) is the moment when the Sun appears to cross the celestial equator, heading southward. In Perth this is today, Friday, 23 September 2022 at 9:03 am AWST.

Spring, a season of anticipation, hope, excitement and awakening. It is a time to move out of our winter hibernation and move into the new season, renewed and refreshed.

What are you doing on this equinox day? What daily practices are you reigniting in spring?
