💧 Are You Dehydrated? Here’s How to Tell—and Stay on Track!

Water is essential for nearly every function in your body, from energy levels and digestion to skin health and mental clarity. Yet many of us walk around mildly dehydrated without even realising it.

🔍 Signs You Might Be Dehydrated
• Feeling thirsty
• Dry mouth and lips
• Dark yellow urine or less frequent urination
• Headache and fatigue
• Dizziness or confusion
• Dry skin
• Rapid heartbeat

💦 How Much Water Do You Need?

The amount of water you need depends on your weight, activity level, and environment. A general rule of thumb is:

👉 Body Weight (kg) x 0.033 = Liters per day

Example:
If you weigh 60 kg:
60 x 0.033 = 1.98 liters per day (~8 cups)

💡 Note: If you’re active, live in a hot climate, or are pregnant or breastfeeding, you may need even more.

💧 Tips to Stay Hydrated

✅ Carry a reusable water bottle with you everywhere
✅ Snack on water-rich foods like watermelon, cucumber, and oranges
✅ Set phone reminders to drink every 1-2 hours
✅ Use a hydration tracker app or a simple checklist
✅ Add flavor with lemon, mint, or berries to make it more appealing
✅ Drink a glass of water before and after meals

💩 Let’s talk about fibre – your gut and hormones will thank you!

Most people think fibre is just for keeping you “regular,” but the benefits go way beyond that.

Here’s why fibre is one of my favourite tools for gut and hormone health:

✅ Feeds your good gut bacteria (hello, better digestion!)
✅ Helps balance blood sugar and reduce cravings
✅ Supports healthy bowel movements – a key detox pathway
✅ Binds to excess estrogen and clears it out
✅ Promotes clearer skin by supporting internal detox
✅ Keeps you feeling fuller for longer

Pretty powerful, right?

👉 The recommended amount for women is around 25–30g per day, but most people only get about half of that.

Easy ways to get more fibre:
– Add chia or flaxseeds to your breakfast
– Include lentils or beans in meals
– Enjoy veggies with every meal (skins on when possible)
– Choose oats, berries, leafy greens, and whole grains regularly

⚠️ Increase fibre slowly + drink more water to avoid bloating!

Is your body living in stress mode?

Stress hormones like cortisol are meant to help us in short bursts, but when they’re constantly elevated, they wreak havoc on your health.

Here are some sneaky signs your body is running on stress hormones:

🧠 Brain fog or forgetfulness
😵‍ Mood swings, anxiety, or feeling overwhelmed
💓 Rapid heartbeat or “wired but tired” feeling
⚖️ Unexplained weight gain (especially around your midsection)
💩 Digestive issues like bloating or constipation
🌸 Hormonal acne or stubborn skin flare-ups
💇‍♀️ Hair loss or thinning
🩺 Irregular or missing periods

If a few of these sound familiar, it might be time to support your nervous system and reset your stress response — naturally.

Feeling stressed or overwhelmed? You’re not alone — but the good news is, you don’t need a full day at the spa to reset. Here are 5 simple ways to de-stress and feel more grounded:

📖 Read a book – Let your mind escape for a while and unwind.
🖊️ Journal your thoughts – Getting your worries out on paper can bring surprising clarity.
🌬️ Practice deep breathing – Just a few slow, intentional breaths can calm your nervous system.
🧘‍♀️ Try a short meditation – Even 2 minutes of stillness can help you feel centered again.
🏃‍♀️ Move your body – A quick walk, stretch, or workout can release tension and boost your mood.

You don’t have to do all five — just pick one that feels right and start there. Which one will you try today? 💛

Struggling with PMS, pain, and gut issues? You’re not broken—your body is just asking for support. 💛

✨ CLIENT SPOTLIGHT ✨
From tears, cramps & chaos ➡️ to calm cycles & daily poos 🧘‍♀️💩

Female age 32. When she first came to me, her periods were something she dreaded every single month. Think:
😢 crying, snappy PMS mood swings and acne
😖 Painful, heavy cramps
💥 Sore breasts
💩 Bowel movements hard to pass and infrequent

She felt like her body was working against her. And like many women, she’d been told it was “just PMS” and to pop a painkiller. But deep down, she knew something wasn’t right.

🌿After 3 months of working together:
✔️No more mood swings and PMS
✔️ NO sore b***s
✔️ Period pain- Down by 80% no more need for pain relief medication at all
✔️ Skin clear with minimal and mild occasional pimple that heals quickly l
✔️ Daily easy to pass poo

What changed? We supported her hormones and gut health at the same time. Simple food shifts, targeted herbs, and lifestyle tweaks = massive results.

Your cycle doesn’t have to be a struggle.

This kind of transformation is possible when we treat the root causes—not just the symptoms.

➡️ Tired of guessing what’s going on with your health?

➡️ As a qualified naturopath I am able to use functional medicine testing to uncover the root causes of your symptoms. Your body is always giving you clues — functional medicine testing helps us discover what your symptoms are saying allowing me to create targeted treatment plans to accurately address your health needs.

➡️How does it work?
For a blood test I simply email you a referral and you pay for it then take to a pathology collection centre. For tests like stool test, saliva or SIBO you get sent a test kit to complete the test at home and postage to send it off for testing. Have existing test results already wonderful we will go through these during your appointment first.

Stress impacts all areas of your health including skin conditions. It can worsen acne, eczema, psoriasis, and rosacea. Here are some ways stress affects your skin:

* Stress increases androgen hormones, which lead to increased sebum and oil production in the skin, causing more acne breakouts.
* Stress increases inflammation in the body and the skin.
* Stress changes your gut bacteria balance, worsening skin conditions.
* Stress impacts your immune system, which increases inflammation in the skin.
* Stress can cause constipation, which worsens all skin conditions.

Stress management is an important but often over looked part of skin healing.

The healthy poo checklist!

Our poo tells us a lot about our health, from the timing, amount, consistency, colour and shape.

While it is not something we normally talk about (unless you’re one of my clients then you know this is all I talk about!) it is a super important topic and provides a lot of insight into your body’s health and function. Which is why I ask a lot of poo questions during your consultation.

It is important to take note of what your body is doing as the signs it gives you tells us what it needs. Whether it is pain levels, poo quality, period symptoms, mood or anything inbetween paying attention to your symptoms and tracking your health is a great way to monitor, identify and track progress of your health.

Use the following checklist to get insights into your gut health and function, and if your poo isn’t able to tick that list off then it’s time we have an appointment and look into your health!

Ps stay turned for next week I will post a gut health checklist too, so you can assess your own gut function

Your p**p is your daily report card from your gut. Don’t ignore it!

Take note of:
* Consistency (formed vs. loose)
* Frequency (daily is ideal)
* Ease of passing (no straining or urgency)
* Colour

These patterns offer helpful insights into your overall digestive health.



If your stools are consistently outside the ideal range, or fluctuate between all types of p**ps, or you’re experiencing bloating, pain, irregularity, or discomfort — it might be time to dig deeper.

Book a 1:1 naturopathic consultation to explore what your gut is trying to tell you and receive a personalised plan to get things moving — smoothly and naturally.

Start your Monday morning off calmly. Try this easy breathing exercise to regulate and settle your nervous system.

Box or square breathing is a type of breathing exercise that is great for reducing stress and can be done anytime of day you need it.

- Before bed to get better quality sleep
- When you wake up to start the day off well
- Before you eat to help you digest better
- Anytime you’re feeling stressed or anxious

Follow the breathing pattern using deep belly breathes using your diaphragm to breathe. Your stomach should expand as your lungs inhale and deflate when you exhale

🔲 Sit in a comfortable position and slowly inhale through your nose while counting to 4.

🔲 Hold your breath for a count of 4

🔲 Exhale through your mouth slowly counting to 4

🔲 hold your breath again while counting to 4

🔲Repeat from step one, aim for 4 rounds🔲
