Your thyroid relies on iodine to produce T4 and T3, the hormones that control energy, metabolism, and so many other functions in the body. Without enough iodine, your thyroid can’t work efficiently, which can lead to hypothyroidism, nodules, or even goiter.

But it’s all about balance, too little iodine can slow your thyroid down, while too much can overstimulate it or worsen autoimmune conditions like Hashimoto’s.

This one has been a big learning curve for me; my own iodine levels came back really low, so it’s something I’m now focusing on more intentionally.

Foods that naturally support iodine levels:
- Sea vegetables like kelp, nori, or wakame (in small amounts)
- Iodised salt (used mindfully)
- Fish and seafood such as cod, tuna, and prawns
- Eggs
(TO NAME A FEW)

If your iodine levels are low, it’s best to test before supplementing, as too much can do more harm than good. Working with a practitioner to find the right balance is key.

For me, it’s been about focusing on nourishing foods, supporting my gut health, and reducing stress, all of which help the body better use the nutrients it needs.

Even after a couple of years of focusing on my thyroid health, I’ll admit I still have to remind myself what T4 and T3 actually do. There’s just so much information out there, and it can feel confusing. So let’s keep it simple.

Your thyroid produces two main hormones:
- T4 (thyroxine)- the inactive form your thyroid makes.
- T3 (triiodothyronine) - the active form your body actually uses for energy, metabolism, and overall function.

Your body has to convert T4 into T3, and that process relies on key nutrients like selenium, zinc, and vitamin B6, plus a healthy gut, balanced stress levels, and enough calories.

When your T4 or T3 levels are low, it can mean your thyroid isn’t working at its best (like in hypothyroidism or Hashimoto’s). Higher levels may indicate hyperthyroidism or Graves’ disease.

Understanding this conversion has been a huge part of my own thyroid journey because it’s not just about how much hormone your thyroid makes, but how well your body can use it.

These might seem like small habits, but over time, they can really impact your gut health, and I’ve personally experienced a few of these myself.

Things like too much alcohol, stress, poor sleep, eating on the run, or limiting food variety can all disrupt the balance of bacteria in your gut. When that happens, you might notice changes in digestion, mood, energy, or even immunity.

For me, one of the biggest lessons has been that consistency and balance are more important than perfection. Your gut thrives when you move your body regularly, eat a wide variety of whole plant foods, and give yourself time to rest and digest.

It’s not about doing everything perfectly, but about becoming aware of what supports you and making those small shifts that your body will thank you for later.

Lemons are such a simple but powerful addition to your daily routine, and not just for flavour. They’re packed with nutrients that can support your overall well-being in so many ways.

Here’s how they help:
- Improves digestive health – the acidity of lemon juice can help stimulate stomach acid and digestive enzymes, supporting smoother digestion.

- Supports immune health – lemons are rich in vitamin C, which plays a key role in immune defence and cell protection.

- Supports heart health – citrus fruits like lemons are linked with heart health thanks to their vitamin C and flavonoid antioxidants, which may help protect blood vessels.

- High in antioxidants – lemons contain compounds like flavonoids that help reduce oxidative stress in the body.

- Helps maintain pH balance – while lemon juice itself is acidic, it has an alkalising effect once metabolised, supporting your body’s natural acid–base balance.

I love starting my day with warm lemon water. It’s a small ritual that helps my digestion, hydration, and overall energy. As always, it’s about balance and consistency. Little things like this can make a big difference over time.

These are some of the small but powerful things that have helped me improve my gut health over time.

But here’s the thing, I’m not perfect with them every day (and that’s okay). Some days I forget to drink my lemon water, rush my meals, or don’t quite hit that plant variety goal.

I’ve learnt that it’s not about being perfect, it’s about being mindful. The awareness alone helps you make better choices more often, and that’s where real change starts.

So if you’re trying to support your gut health too, remember: it’s the consistency over time, not perfection, that truly matters.

One step at a time friends.

When your mind feels foggy or you’re fighting that mid-afternoon slump, essential oils can be a beautiful way to reawaken focus and clarity naturally.

Fresh, minty, and citrus oils are especially powerful for stimulating the senses and improving concentration, helping you feel more grounded, alert, and present throughout your day.

Try diffusing a few drops while you work, study, or even during your morning routine for an instant mental refresh.

What oil helps you feel more awake or focused during the day?

For me, my favourites are Rosemary and Lemon combined, and Peppermint is easily a favourite go-to as well!

Blue Cypress is such a calming, centring oil; it carries this beautiful sense of strength and stillness all at once. Its rich blue hue comes naturally from the distillation process, and I always think of it as an oil that helps you find your calm within the chaos.

It has a fresh, woody, slightly smoky aroma that feels both grounding and soothing. I love using blue cypress when I need emotional balance or when life feels a little too fast-paced. It’s that quiet, steady energy that reminds you to slow down and reconnect.

What Blue Cypress Can Support:
- Emotional grounding and calm
- Nervous tension or feelings of anxiety
- Supporting healthy skin (especially dryness or irritation)
- Soothing the respiratory system
- Encouraging inner peace and emotional strength

It’s one of those oils that works beautifully during times of transition, stress, or emotional heaviness, helping you feel supported and more centred.

A Quick Note on Safety:
- Generally considered gentle for most skin types, but always patch test and dilute before applying topically.
- Not known to be phototoxic.
- As always, check with your practitioner if pregnant or managing a medical condition.

If you’ve been craving a sense of calm and grounding, blue cypress might just be the oil that helps you slow down, breathe deeply, and find your stillness again.

For so long, I thought being busy meant being productive, that hustle was something to be proud of, and that rest was for the weak (or as they say, “for the wicked”).

But over the years, I’ve learnt that’s just not true. Rest matters. Slowing down matters. Taking time for yourself isn’t selfish; it’s essential.

We live in a world that glorifies being constantly on the go, where chaos is normal and stillness feels uncomfortable. But your body, mind and emotions all need space to breathe. Rest allows you to reset, to show up better for yourself and for the people you love.

Because the truth is, the washing will always be there. The house will always need cleaning. The to-do list never really ends. But if you burn yourself out trying to do it all, you’re the one who suffers most.

Now I make it a priority to pause, rest, and recharge, not out of guilt, but out of love for myself and my wellbeing.

Over the last two years, I've truly seen how focusing on my health and wellness has changed my life in ways I never expected.

It hasn't always been easy, but the consistency, the small daily choices, and the moments of putting my wellbeing first have been worth it, because extraordinary things have happened and no doubt will continue to happen. I feel stronger, calmer, and more in tune with my body than I've ever been. In having said that, I'm not perfect and I still have moments, but I know my inner wellness is definitely WAY better than what it used to be.

I'm doing this for me, but also for my beautiful family. I want to be around for as long as I can, and as healthy as I can, and that starts with the choices I make today and what decisions I made two years ago.

So this is your reminder: do something today that your future self will thank you for. It doesn't have to be big, just one small act that supports your mind, body, or soul. Those are the moments that truly add up. You can do this beautiful!

As I’ve gotten older, I’ve learnt just how important boundaries are and that saying no is actually one of the kindest forms of self-care you can give yourself.

I’ve always been a bit of a people pleaser (and still am in some ways). While there’s nothing wrong with wanting to make others happy, I’ve realised that when it comes at the cost of your own peace, it’s not healthy. Over the years, I’ve had people get frustrated with me for being this way, but it’s not something that changes overnight. I’m aware of it, I’m working on it, and that’s enough.

When we travelled around Australia, I really started to see that life is full of choices. You can look at everything as an “F yes” or an “F no” moment.

Does it light you up?

Does it bring you joy?

If not, don’t do it.

Stop worrying about what others think. This is your life, your peace, your happiness. Protecting that is one of the best forms of self-care you’ll ever practice.

Your thyroid doesn’t just affect your body; it also deeply impacts your mind too. When your thyroid is underactive, it can throw off important neurotransmitters like serotonin, GABA, and dopamine, the good chemicals that help regulate mood, calmness, and emotional balance.

That’s why hypothyroidism can often show up as anxiety, depression, mood swings, or emotional ups and downs. It also works closely with your adrenal glands, meaning when your thyroid is struggling, your ability to handle stress often does too.

For me, this has been one of the hardest parts of my thyroid journey. I’ve experienced the mood swings, the emotional outbursts, and the anxiety highs and lows. I can always tell when things are “off” or my thyroid levels are out of whack because my emotional resilience starts to drop.

To support myself, I’ve made mental health a big part of my healing routine: gentle walks, Pilates a couple of times a week, EFT tapping, emotional support, essential oils, magnesium, and reading to calm my mind.

If you’re feeling mentally drained or not yourself, don’t ignore your thyroid; it might be part of the bigger picture. Healing your body means supporting both your mind and your nervous system, too.
