You gotta nail the basics! It’s the core pillars of health like sleep, hydration, nutrition, exercise, relationships that really push the needle. Couple them with the right herbs and supplements and you’re really onto something ⚡️⚡️⚡️

BUT Just because I’m calling them the “basics” doesn’t make them easy to get right… and the tricky bit, we’re all different!

Need help? Let’s do it. Link in bio to book a discovery call 📞 or simple comment discovery below and I’ll be in touch 🙃

If I’m being honest I used to be so guilty of this! Running off the kids leftover brekkie that they didn’t eat…🙋‍♀️

Now I know that in order to be my best for them (and for myself) I need to ensure I’m looking after myself too! Every single day.

So many mums and dads I speak to are pouring so much into their kids and simply forgetting about the importance of looking after themselves… even the simple foundations like staying hydrated, getting enough sleep, eating 3 meals and enjoying some sunlight and fresh air. These simple pillars are crucial and yet we think as parents they don’t apply to us. 🤷‍♂️

I also understand that it’s not always easy to put yourself first, life with kids is BUSY! But a burnt out parent is no good to anyone so why not start working on your own health.

I’ve got a few spaces left this January for new clients, so please feel free to book a free discovery call and we can chat to see if I can help you get back to where you want to be….a present, energetic and fun parent. 🙌

January checklist:
New diary ✅
Take down Christmas tree ✅
Pathology appointment ✅

I’m needle phobic. I’m terrible when it comes to blood draws or injections 😣 BUT I force myself to get some basic pathology testing done at least once a year.

Why? Because annual pathology testing catches issues before you start to feel symptoms:

✔️ nutrient deficiencies
✔️ inflammation markers
✔️ hormonal imbalances
✔️ blood sugar dysregulation
✔️ thyroid dysfunction

I love sifting through pathology results finding hints and clues to better understand my health and the health of my clients.

Also important to note 👉 ‘Within range’ doesn’t mean optimal - it just means you’re not sick enough to be diagnosed.

I offer comprehensive pathology analysis in my packages. Because prevention beats treatment! Every. Time.

You don’t even need a garden, just a pot or two on a windowsill is a great start!

If you’re new here, give me a follow for more content like this.

Growing something yourself not only provides you with fresh, nutrient dense food, but also a sense of respect for the food you consume and the nourishment it provides. I’m a full-time working mum whose garden is pretty neglected but I manage to eat from it daily. Part of my work with my clients is encouraging them to eat a wholefoods, nutrient dense diet and sometimes that can mean growing just a few things yourself.

Tell me, are you growing anything edible at the moment? 👇

Your gut isn’t just about digestion—it’s the control center for your whole body.

Poor gut health has been linked to everything from anxiety and brain fog to autoimmune issues and skin problems.

When your gut microbiome is out of balance, inflammation spreads and systems break down. The good news? Healing your gut can be the domino that fixes everything else. Start there.

Need to work on your gut health? I’ve got a few spots left for January bookings. Let’s chat! Feel free to DM me

Your gut. 😱

Gut health doesn’t just affect digestion—it’s the foundation for almost everything else in your body.

Your immune system lives here—about 70% of it. Poor gut health = weakened immunity and increased risk of autoimmunity.

Your mood and mental health are made here—90% of serotonin is produced in the gut. Gut dysfunction shows up as anxiety, depression, and brain fog.

Your hormones are metabolised and cleared here. An unhealthy gut means hormones like estrogen don’t get properly eliminated, leading to imbalances.

Your metabolism and weight are regulated here. The gut microbiome directly influences how you store fat, manage blood sugar, and feel hungry or satisfied.

So if you can correct the functioning of your gut, you can simultaneously correct a lot of other “pesky” health issues throughout the body.
This is why gut health isn’t just about bloating or IBS—it’s about whole-body health.

Start here. Everything else becomes easier 🌱

In order to change, we need to constantly change our identity. Your body responds to who you are being, not who you wish you were.

The version of you with vibrant energy eats to fuel, not to restrict.

The version of you with balanced hormones, manages stress daily not just occasionally.

The version of you who is fit and capable prioritises movement and exercise throughout the day.

Your cells are listening to every choice you make. Your genes are responding to the signals you send through food, sleep, stress and movement.

You don’t need to overhaul everything overnight.

Just start acting like the person who already has the health you want.

What does he/she do on a daily basis?

Just get an iron infusion they said. You'll feel better instantly!

Sounds pretty good....

But nobody mentioned the oxidative stress. Or the inflammation. Or the potential that you may feel worse instead of better after recieving IV iron.

When you bypass your body's natural iron absorption process with IV iron, you're creating cellular damage your body then has to deal with. Free iron is not good for our cells- our body works hard to ensure iron is tightly regulated because of the damage it can do.
Your gut is designed to carefully regulate iron absorption.

Low iron is serious (and sometimes IV iron may be necessary) but in many cases, it's not.

There are safer, more sustainable ways to restore your iron levels while supporting your body's natural processes.

If you've recieved multiple iron infusions, its time to dig a little deeper and find out what's going on with your iron metabolism.
