Struggling with weight or insulin resistance? Your gut might be the missing piece.

🦠 When gut toxins leak into your bloodstream, they trigger inflammation that blocks insulin and promotes fat storage.

Heal your gut, calm inflammation, and watch your metabolism shift - no forcing required. Start by testing your microbiome and take control from within.

Histamine plays a big role in brain function, sensory processing, and mood - especially in autism.

Differences in histamine regulation can contribute to symptoms like sleep issues, anxiety, and food sensitivities.

🧬 But genes aren’t destiny - the right support, gut health, and nervous system care can make all the difference.

My thoughts around one of the most important (from my perspective) beliefs to examine that may be holding you back

17/07/2025

🔥 Inflammation isn’t the root cause - it’s your body’s SOS signal.

Often driven by gut toxins leaking into your blood, it keeps your immune system stuck on high alert.

To truly heal, you need more than quick fixes - reset your diet, rhythms, nervous system, and dig into the deeper “why.”

Ready to get to the root? Let’s talk.

If you’re going to drink coffee, make sure you combine it with L-theanine!
☕➕🌿

Combining caffeine with L-theanine enhances focus, speed, and accuracy on demanding tasks while reducing distraction, jitteriness, and mental overstimulation.

Here’s why the combo works so well

Caffeine increases alertness by blocking adenosine receptors, which delays fatigue — but it can also overstimulate the nervous system, especially if you’re already dealing with stress, anxiety, or fatigue

L-Theanine, a calming amino acid found in green tea, helps by:

Increasing GABA and serotonin (calming neurotransmitters)

🧠Modulating glutamate (which helps reduce sensory overload)

🧠Enhancing alpha brain waves, creating a relaxed but alert state

Together, they create a balanced state of calm alertness — boosting cognitive performance without the crash or anxiety that caffeine alone can trigger.

📚 One study found that the combination improved speed, accuracy, attention-switching, and resistance to distraction compared to caffeine alone.

And even outside of coffee, L-theanine alone has been shown to support reduced anxiety, improved sleep quality, and mental clarity without sedation. It’s especially helpful for calming a wired nervous system and supporting more restorative rest — great for anyone dealing with burnout, overstimulation, or racing thoughts.

🧠 Pro tip: Try 200 mg with your morning coffee; have some before bed as well for a deeper and more restorative sleep 😴

Your gut microbiome isn’t just bacteria - it’s a vital organ-like system that impacts immunity, mood, metabolism, and more.

Like any organ, it responds to how you treat it - stress, diet, sleep, toxins all matter. Supporting your microbiome supports your whole body.

🌿 Ready to nurture yours? Let’s start with the basics - and go deeper if needed.

Bowel cancer is rising fast among young Aussies - and it’s not just “old people’s disease” anymore.

A compromised gut lining lets toxins into your bloodstream, triggering inflammation that fuels cancer and other chronic conditions.

Want to take control? ➡️ Start with your gut microbiome - test, track, and protect it before symptoms appear. Your health is in your hands.

🦠 Your small intestine isn’t meant to have much bacteria. It has built-in defences (stomach acid, bile, motility) to keep overgrowth in check.

When SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth) occurs, these bacteria can start producing histamine.

Your body relies on the DAO enzyme (mainly in the gut lining) to break down histamine from food and microbes.

🚫 But with too much histamine coming in - and gut damage from the overgrowth - DAO gets overwhelmed, and histamine starts leaking through a now compromised gut wall.

This circulating histamine travels throughout your body, showing up as:
➡️ Headaches, migraines, anxiety, brain fog, insomnia, vertigo (brain)
➡️ Flushing, rashes, eczema, hives (skin)
➡️ Racing heart, low blood pressure (cardiovascular)
➡️ Asthma, congestion, sinusitis (respiratory)
➡️ Bloating, IBS, IBD, constipation, diarrhoea, nausea, reflux (gastrointestinal)
➡️ Joint pain (musculoskeletal)
➡️ Nutrient depletion and detox issues

⚠️ And if your methylation pathways or aldehyde-clearing enzymes are sluggish? You may end up with aldehyde buildup - toxic byproducts that worsen symptoms even further.

WHAT CAN YOU DO?! 🔥

👉🏼 Assess for imbalances in the small intestine. Start with a SIBO breath testing and a leaky gut assessment (e.g. lactulose:mannitol test).

If this area is compromised, it needs to be addressed as a priority - because no amount of antihistamines or low-histamine diets will fully work if the small intestine remains inflamed, leaky, or overgrown.

🚨 Just a quick heads-up that I’ll be on leave from Friday 26th September through to Sunday 26th October - that’s a full month away from clinic.

It’s only a little over 2½ months from now, and time really does fly - so if you’ve been meaning to:

🌱 check in
🌱 follow up on test results
🌱 review your current protocol
🌱 or simply reconnect

…now’s a great time to plan ahead!

Appointments in the lead-up often fill fast, so I recommend booking soon to make sure we have time to cover everything you need before I go offline.

👉🏼 Feel free to send me a DM or use the usual booking link via link in bio to lock in a time.

Histamine issues?

New research shows resistant potato starch (just 3.5g/day) can lower histamine, heal the gut lining, and reduce histamine-producing bacteria.

But if you’ve got methane SIBO - proceed with caution.

🧠 Sleep struggles, mood swings, sensory overload, intense emotions?

If you or your child live with ADHD, autism, or cyclical sensitivity, brain histamine could be part of the picture.

Histamine is more than just an allergy chemical - it’s active in the brain, too. And when it builds up, it can impact focus, regulation, and rest.

This post unpacks how histamine is cleared (via HNMT + SAMe), why methylation matters, and what can block this pathway.

✨ Understanding this biochemistry can shift how you support yourself or your child - naturally and effectively.
