With the upcoming changes to social media access for under 16s, many families are reassessing their digital footprint, and I completely understand.

If you're planning to step back from these platforms (or just want to stay in the loop), I'd love to stay connected with you through my email list.

That’s where I share practical, natural health guidance for your family, personal updates from my clinic, product recommendations I actually use, and first access to anything new I create.

Let’s keep in touch, no matter where you choose to spend your screen time.

I know many parents prefer natural options.

And yes, we can use herbs, garlic, probiotics, and gut support.

But here's the challenge: natural protocols require long-term consistency, bitter herbs, and excellent compliance which isn’t always realistic for little ones.

And during that time?
👉 Worms continue laying eggs.
👉 Reinfection risks remain high.
👉 The cycle drags on, causing more disruption to your child’s health and wellbeing.

In my experience, medical treatment when needed can be the fastest way to break the cycle and restore balance.

If your child is struggling with repeated infections or unusual symptoms, don’t hesitate to seek support.

The goal is always the same: to get your little one feeling better, faster and to help you breathe a little easier, too.

If you or your child have been told you have Helicobacter pylori, it can feel really confusing at first.

Do you need to treat it right away?
Is it something to worry about?
And what does treatment mean for your gut?

These are questions I get often in clinic and the truth is, the answer isn’t the same for everyone.

In my latest blog, I break down what you really need to know about H. pylori:
✨ When it does and doesn’t need treating
✨ How it can affect children and adults differently
✨ Natural options that are gentle on the gut
✨ And why a one-size-fits-all approach can often do more harm than good

Have you heard that Australian berries are allowed to be treated with a pesticide that is banned in the US & Europe?

Dimethoate is a probable carcinogen and neurotoxin that is allowed to be sprayed on Australian berries 1-7 days before harvesting. Authorities are looking to review these guidelines, so this time is extended to 14 days.

Authorities state that the allowable levels of this chemical per serve are safe, but other sources suggest a 20 kilogram child would exceed this "safe" threshold after eating a handful of berries.

What happens with repeated exposure?
Many of my little clients eat punnets of berries each day!

My opinion:

🍓There is NO SAFE level of probable carcinogens and neurotoxins in our diet.
🍓 The proposed 14-day change will not prevent the pesticide from soaking into the fruit after spraying.

My advice:

🫐 Buy organic (frozen or powdered organic fruit is fine)

🫐 Buy direct from the farmer and ask them what they use on their berries. Farmers markets are a great place to buy your food where you can actually speak to the people who grow your food. Many of these farmers are aware and use safe farming practices even if they are not "certified organic".

🫐 My last preference, if conventional produce is the only option for your family, is to soak in bicarb and vinegar for at least 10 minutes and rinse thoroughly before eating. Unfortunately, this will only reduce residue, not eliminate it so consuming these fruits as an occasional treat rather than a daily staple is best.

One of the most common questions I get: ""How long does gut healing take for eczema?""

The honest answer?

It's typically a gradual process that unfolds over months, not weeks.

Here's what the journey often looks like:

👉 Initial food removal and gut support begins
👉 Cycling through different prebiotics to feed various bacterial strains
👉 Slowly rebuilding a diverse, robust gut ecosystem
👉 Gradual reduction in food reactivity over time
👉 Immune system becoming less reactive overall

This isn't a quick fix, but rather a process of creating lasting change in how your child's immune system responds to foods.

The good news?

Most families start seeing some improvements within the first few months, with continued progress as the gut continues to strengthen.

Patience and consistency are key - you're literally rebuilding an entire ecosystem.

Where are you in your gut healing journey?

If your child has eczema, there might be a connection you haven't considered yet.

Many children with eczema have a history of early antibiotic exposure during their most critical microbiome-forming period.

This could have happened through:

→ IV antibiotics during labour for Group B Strep
→ Antibiotics passed through breast milk (mastitis treatment)
→ NICU stays with infection treatment
→ Early ear infections, tonsillitis, or surgical procedures

When the microbiome is disrupted while it's still establishing, it can become imbalanced and contribute to the immune system overreacting to otherwise harmless foods.

This doesn't mean antibiotics were wrong - sometimes they're absolutely necessary.

But understanding this connection helps us know where to focus our healing efforts.

Your symptoms are not in your head.

I see so many women feeling frustrated after being told their blood tests are “normal”... even though they still feel exhausted, bloated, anxious, or just not themselves.

Here’s the truth:
Normal blood work doesn’t always mean your body is functioning optimally.

Symptoms are your body’s way of speaking to you.

They’re messages, not annoyances. Warnings, not overreactions.

And they’re always worth listening to.

If you’re tired of being told “everything looks fine,” but you know something is off, there are deeper answers.

Functional testing can help us uncover what’s really going on beneath the surface.

You don’t have to settle for feeling “just okay.”
Let’s figure it out together.

When it comes to supporting your body’s natural detox pathways - especially for heavy metals like arsenic - your diet can make a big difference.

Here are some of my favourite food-based ways to support methylation and liver health, which are key for clearing arsenic safely and effectively:

🌿 B Vitamins – crucial for methylation and liver detox
🥚 Quality protein – helps bind toxins for elimination
🥦 Brassica vegetables (like broccoli, cauliflower & kale) – support liver enzyme pathways
✨ N-acetyl-cysteine (NAC) + selenium – shown to double arsenic clearance
🍵 Green tea & turmeric – rich in antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds

These foods (and nutrients) are easy to include in your weekly routine and gently support your body’s detox capacity over time.

Small daily habits, big long-term impact.

Save this list and come back to it when you're planning your meals.

When food might be contributing to your child’s eczema, we don’t just guess.

We take a clear, calm approach:

👉 Remove potential food triggers

👉 Wait for the skin to settle

👉 Reintroduce one food at a time

👉 Keep out only the true culprits

👉 Heal the gut + support the immune system

👉 Re-test that food every 3 months

It’s not about cutting out everything forever.

It’s about creating more confidence around food and skin.

Think you’ve tried everything for your child’s eczema?

You might be missing this one simple (but powerful) step…

Before the lotions.
Before the elimination diets.
Before the pricey supplements...

👉 Start with fragrance.

Synthetic fragrances in laundry powder, fabric softeners, and cleaning products are one of the most common irritants I see triggering eczema flare-ups in kids.

If the label says “fragrance” or “parfum”, that’s your sign to make a switch.

Small change, BIG impact on skin.
