Stopped the pill… and your period hasn’t come back? 😫💊
Here’s what you need to know about when to time your blood tests for the most accurate results.

If you have no period at all — you can run these tests on any day of your cycle.

If you are spotting or are getting your period:

Day 3 of your cycle is best for most of these tests:

FSH, LH, Oestradiol, Prolactin, Testosterone, SHBG + FAI, TSH, Free T4, Free T3, Fasting Insulin, DHEA, Vitamin D, Iron studies, B12, Folate.

Day 21 (or 7 days before your next expected period) is ideal for:

Oestradiol and Progesterone — to check for ovulation and luteal phase hormone levels.

Why timing matters:
Testing on the right day gives you the clearest picture of your hormone balance and can pinpoint whether ovulation is occurring — a key step in getting your cycle back.

💗 Your body is unique, and your testing plan should be too.
Comprehensive testing is the first step to understanding and supporting your hormone recovery.

Ever stopped the pill and your period vanished… or acne exploded? 😫💊

You’re not alone. The pill works by suppressing your natural hormones — and once you come off, your body has to ‘reboot’.
And that reboot? It doesn’t always happen quickly.

✨ Hormones like LH, FSH, oestrogen, and progesterone can take time to bounce back.
✨ Meanwhile, androgens (like testosterone) may surge — leading to acne, hair loss, irregular cycles, and more.

You’re not meant to suffer in silence.
Working with me can help uncover what your body needs to gently rebalance and restore your hormones, naturally 💗

🌸 Early Client Win! 🌸
I received this beautiful message after just her third appointment — and my heart is full 💌

This incredible woman is now 8.5 weeks pregnant, and we had only just begun working together on her hormones.

It’s a reminder that sometimes the body just needs a little nudge in the right direction. With the right support, clarity, and a personalised approach — powerful shifts can happen sooner than you think.

If you’re thinking about hormone or fertility support, this is your sign.

You don’t need a plate of steak to hit your protein goals 🥩🚫
This gorgeous salad packs over 35g of protein—without a big chunk of meat in sight. 🙌
🥗 What’s inside:
• Wild-caught tuna (29g)
• Goat’s cheese (5g)
• H**p seeds (5g)
• Cos lettuce, capsicum, cucumber, tomato, artichoke, olives, sauerkraut and a homemade pesto dressing = a fibre-rich, microbiome-loving base 🌱✨
Protein + plants are key to blood sugar balance, satiety, and better hormone metabolism.
Swipe for inspo ➡️ Here are 5 other ways to hit 30–40g protein in a meal:
1. Eggs & Edamame Power Bowl – 3 boiled eggs + ½ cup edamame + quinoa + tahini dressing
2. Greek Yoghurt Parfait – 200g Greek yoghurt + h**p seeds + berries + chia + protein granola
3. Protein Smoothie – 1 scoop plant-based protein + almond butter + oats + soy milk + spinach
4. Lentil & Tofu Stir-Fry – 150g tofu + 1 cup lentils + mixed veg + tamari + sesame oil
5. Chicken & Chickpea Wrap – 100g shredded chicken + ½ cup chickpeas + hummus + rocket in a high-protein wrap
Protein doesn’t have to be boring, or meat-heavy. Think diversity. Think nourishment. Think plants 💚

“🌿 Unlocking the Gut-Skin Connection: Did you know there’s growing research on the link between Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO), gut health, and Acne Rosacea🦠

🌟 Research suggests that imbalances in gut microbiota, known as dysbiosis, can disrupt the delicate balance of the gut barrier. This disruption may lead to increased intestinal permeability, commonly referred to as leaky gut syndrome. When the gut barrier becomes compromised, it allows harmful substances like bacteria, toxins, and undigested food particles to leak into the bloodstream. This process triggers an immune response and systemic inflammation throughout the body.

💆🏻‍♀️In the context of skin health, this systemic inflammation can manifest in various ways, potentially exacerbating inflammatory skin conditions such as Rosacea. The inflammatory mediators released in response to gut barrier dysfunction can circulate to the skin, contributing to skin inflammation, redness, and irritation characteristic of Rosacea.

Understanding this intricate gut-skin axis highlights the importance of maintaining a healthy gut microbiota balance. By promoting through diet, lifestyle modifications, and targeted interventions, we aim to support both gut integrity and skin wellness. Addressing the root causes of skin issues by nurturing overall internal balance. 🌿💫

Never underestimate the power of a good night's sleep. 😴💭

Today is world sleep day, and today we recognise the importance of sleep and how this directly impacts our health.

Did you know that adequate and quality sleep is crucial for overall health and well-being? Research shows that Adults need 7-9 hours per night for optimum health.
Here are five reasons why sleep is important, based on scientific research:

1️⃣ Cognitive Function and Performance: Lack of sleep can lead to decreased cognitive performance, impaired decision-making, and difficulty concentrating.

2️⃣ Physical Health and Immune Function: Sleep is essential for the proper functioning of the immune system. Chronic sleep deprivation has been associated with an increased risk of various health conditions.

3️⃣ Emotional Well-Being and Mood Regulation: Sleep plays a crucial role in emotional regulation and mental health. Insufficient sleep is linked to mood disturbances, increased irritability, and stress.

4️⃣ Metabolic Health and Weight Regulation: Lack of sleep has been associated with disruptions in hormonal balance, increased appetite, and a higher risk of obesity.

5️⃣ Cellular Repair and Growth Hormone Release: Sleep is critical for the body to undergo repair and restoration. Growth hormone is released during deep sleep, contributing to the repair of tissues and overall cellular rejuvenation.

Make sure to prioritise your sleep and give your body the rest it needs. Sweet dreams! 💤

Wanting to improve your gut health? Follow these 6 simple steps:

🌱On waking have a large glass of water. This will support the digestive system by promoting the elimination of waste.

🌱15 minutes before breakfast, lunch and dinner have some bitters. This will stimulate stomach acid production as well as the production of digestive enzymes and bile. Simple ways to do this are: Lemon in warm water, apple cider vinegar (ACV) mixed with water or add bitter foods to your meals such as radicchio, rocket lettuce, olives, or dressing made with ACV. Another option is drinking dandelion root tea 15 minutes before meals.

🌱Consume your food slowly and consciously avoiding all trigger foods (food intolerances)

🌱Consume a diet rich in nutrient dense whole foods. Processed foods have been found to upset the GIT microbiome

🌱Consume probiotic rich foods daily such as kefir, coconut yogurt, sauerkraut or Kim Chi

🌱Between meals drink bone broth as it is rich in nutrients, as well as collagen, and glutamine. Glutamine in particular supports the integrity of the gut lining.

Happy National Nutrition Month! 🌱🍎🍇🥑🥦🍓🍌

This month, we celebrate the importance of good nutrition and its impact on our overall health and wellbeing. Good nutrition means eating a balanced diet that provides our bodies with all the essential nutrients it needs to function optimally. This includes a variety of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats.

When we eat a balanced diet, we can improve our immune system, reduce the risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, and certain cancers, enhance our mental health, and maintain a healthy weight.

Unfortunately, many people struggle with maintaining a healthy diet due to various reasons such as lack of time, knowledge, or access to healthy food. This is where the importance of education and awareness comes in. By educating ourselves on the benefits of good nutrition and making conscious choices about what we eat, we can take control of our health and improve our quality of life.

I believe that good nutrition is the foundation of good health and I can provide personalised nutrition plans tailored to your individual needs, ensuring that you get the nutrients your body needs to thrive.

Let's take this National Nutrition Month as an opportunity to reflect on our eating habits and make positive changes towards a healthier lifestyle. 🌟
