Want to feed your gut bugs without feeling like you’re on a “health plan”?

Make it fun, they love variety!

💛 Add garlic or onions to nearly everything
💛 Toss some cooked and cooled potatoes or brown rice into salads for resistant starch
💛 Snack on apples or sprinkle flaxseed into yoghurt
💛 Try oats or legumes for an easy prebiotic boost

Little additions like these help your microbiome thrive long-term, no fancy powders required.

Your body already knows how to detox - your liver, kidneys, skin, and gut do it daily without any juice cleanses or extreme diets.

The problem? Many trendy detoxes actually disrupt your microbiome.

Restrictive plans, harsh cleanses, or cutting out whole food groups can leave your gut bacteria underfed and unbalanced.

Real detox support looks more like adequate hydration, plenty of fibre, quality sleep, and colorful, whole foods.
Simple, sustainable, and microbiome-approved. ✨

Some days it feels like our gut wakes up on the wrong side of the bed. 😆 One minute it loves sourdough and kimchi, the next… absolute protest.

Fluctuating hormones can change what your tummy tolerates, it’s not all in your head.

So if your stomach’s being dramatic, note where you are in your menstrual cycle and you might identify a pattern.

You might need to reduce your intake of high histamine foods for a few days, or up your complex carbohydrates in the pre-period window.

Because sometimes, it’s not you.
It’s your microbes having a moment. 💛

Your gut plays a bigger role in your wellbeing than most people realise, from mood and energy to how your hormones feel day-to-day.

If your digestion or energy hasn’t felt like “you” lately, it might be time to look a little deeper.

Small, simple shifts in food, lifestyle, and rhythm can help your microbiome and hormones find their flow again.

✨ Let’s explore what’s really going on underneath the surface and create a plan that feels doable and supportive.

Ever wonder how your gut bugs are doing?
They’re not exactly chatty, but they do send signals.

A happy gut usually means regular bowel movements, steady energy, clear hydrated skin, and a more balanced mood.

When things start to feel off like bloating, fatigue, random cravings, or breakouts, it might be your microbiome asking for a bit of attention.

Think of your gut like a garden, it thrives on variety, nourishment, and consistency.

A few small shifts like adding more plant diversity or easing up on processed foods can make a big difference. 🌿

Ever noticed how your digestion seems to pack its own itinerary when you travel?

Different food, new time zones, airport snacks, your gut bugs are just as confused as you are.

A few simple things can help keep them happy on the road.
Pack a probiotic (I love Saccharomyces boulardii), stay hydrated (including electrolytes), and sneak in some fibre (your future self will thank you).

And if things get a little “out of schedule,” don’t panic, your microbes are just adjusting to vacation mode.

They’ll find their way back home once you do. 😄

If your digestion and hormones have both been acting up lately, it’s no coincidence.

Your gut and hormones are constantly in conversation, and when one’s out of sync, the other often follows.

The good news is, with the right support, they can find their rhythm again.

That’s exactly what I help women do, repair, rebalance, and feel like themselves again.

💛 If it’s time to start feeling vital from the inside out, let’s chat.

The average Aussie diet is often too high in animal products and processed carbs meaning that most of us need to drastically up our intake of plants to improve not only our gut health, but our health overall.

I like the ’40 plants in a week’ challenge - see if you can list every different plant food (ie. fruit, veggies, grains, legumes etc.) that you eat in a week and try to get to 40 or more. It can quickly become apparent that the same plant foods are on high rotation and there isn’t much variety!

A healthy microbiome relies on a diet rich in a diverse range of plants so get munching 🌽🥗🍎🥝

To keep our gut happy we need to aim for at least 30g fibre each day - sounds like a lot but that’s only because we aren’t used to eating enough fibre anymore!

Not only do your beneficial gut bugs love fibre but it also helps keep you regular, assists in managing cholesterol levels and appetite, and even gives your skin a healthy glow.

Supercharge your fibre intake with these daily additions:
🥣 Add chia/flax/hemp/sunflower/pepita seeds to breakfast along with some fruit.
🥗 Try to have at least 3 different vegetables at lunch
🍚 When you have carbs, make sure they are the ones that take ages to chew - in other words they are full of wholegrains and aren’t processed! I’m talking brown rice, quinoa, beans and lentils

And if you can’t tolerate fibre? Get in touch as that is a gut issue not a fibre issue!

You don’t always need fancy supplements to support your gut health, small, consistent habits often make the biggest difference.

Think:
🌿 Eating a variety of colourful plant foods
🚶‍♀️ Moving your body every day (even a quick walk at lunch counts)
🌾 Including complex carbs like quinoa, beans and lentils more often

These simple guidelines help nourish the diverse microbes that keep digestion, hormones, and immunity humming along.

Little shifts, done often, build long-term resilience.

The gut and hormones are in constant conversation, and during peri/menopause, that chat gets a little noisier.

When your microbiome is thriving, it helps smooth out mood swings, support metabolism, and even reduce bloating.

When it’s struggling, those same symptoms can feel amplified.
That’s why I focus on helping women rebuild gut balance so your hormones have the support they need to settle into a new rhythm.

Ever notice your gut bugs seem to have better taste than you?

They’re in there throwing a party over garlic, onions, oats, and asparagus while you’re still dreaming about chips.

Turns out, they’re just trying to help. Those foods feed the good bacteria that keep your digestion, hormones, and mood balanced.

Similarly, sugar cravings can be driven by inflammatory bacterial species demanding dinner!

So next time you crave something earthy and fibre-rich OR sugar-laden and processed, it’s probably not you.

It’s your microbes sending the menu.
