Ferritin low. GP prescribed Ferro-Grad C. Three months later you’re still exhausted and wondering why it’s not working.

Here’s what’s usually being missed 👇

Ferritin is one marker. I want the full iron studies 👉🏼 serum iron, transferrin, transferrin saturation AND ferritin, PLUS vitamin B12, folate, copper. Together they tell a completely different story. And you need to be looking at your gut! Absorption of iron is everything.

You can have:
→ Absorption problems that no supplement will fix until the root cause is addressed OR low vitamin B12, low folate, low copper and low vitamin A. All of those vitamins affect absorption.

And Ferro-Grad C (ferrous sulphate)? One of the most poorly absorbed forms of iron, with some of the worst gut side effects. There are significantly better options.

Low iron always has a reason. Finding that reason is the difference between fixing it once or chasing it forever.

She hadn’t had a solid stool in years. YEARS….

Eight weeks on a targeted gut protocol and here’s what changed 👇

Chronic diarrhoea → solid stools daily for the first time in years

Constant anxiety → significantly reduced
Brain fog → lifted

Chronic bloating, gas, belching → gone

Painful flare ups → one in eight weeks

This client came to me with a diagnosis of lymphocytic colitis, years of gut dysfunction following a severe bacterial infection and antibiotic exposure overseas, and a gut that was completely falling apart on testing.

GI-MAP showed: virtually no good bacteria, massive bacterial overgrowths, calprotectin of 330 (ref

Most women with Hashimoto’s go undiagnosed for years. Not because the signs aren’t there…but because we’re waiting for the TSH to move before we act.

Here’s how Hashimoto’s actually progresses 👇

Stage 1 👉🏼 Antibodies are elevated. TSH is normal. You feel off but nothing shows on standard tests. This stage can last years.

Stage 2 👉🏼 Thyroid starts struggling. TSH creeps up to 3–4. Still “within range.” Fatigue, brain fog, hair loss, weight gain begin. Still told you’re fine.

Stage 3 👉🏼 Overt hypothyroidism. TSH clearly elevated. Now you get a diagnosis. But the attack has been happening for years.

Catching this at Stage 1…elevated antibodies with normal TSH that is is where the real difference is made.

If you have thyroid symptoms and a normal TSH, ask specifically for your TPO antibodies to be tested. Don’t wait for Stage 3.

Save this and share it with someone who keeps being told they’re fine. 💙

Hashimoto’s is an autoimmune condition. The thyroid is the target. The immune system is the problem.

And yet most treatment plans start and end with a Thyroxine prescription and a TSH recheck in 6 weeks.

Nobody is asking: why is the immune system attacking in the first place?

The most common drivers I see in clinic 👇

✦ Intestinal permeability (leaky gut), gut health is immune health
✦ Chronic unmanaged stress, cortisol directly impacts immune regulation
✦ Selenium, vitamin D and zinc deficiency, all critical for immune tolerance
✦ Gluten sensitivity — the molecular mimicry connection is real
✦ Unresolved subclinical infections or toxins

Treating the number on a blood test without addressing the driver is just managing a symptom.

Save this if it resonates and share it with someone who has Hashimoto’s and isn’t getting answers.

Your doctor says your bloods are fine. But fine is not the same as optimal - and there’s a difference between surviving and actually thriving.

Here are 5 markers that almost never get checked but that I look at in every single client.

Save this, screenshot it, take it to your next appointment. You’re welcome!

comment BLOODS for my guide on what to actually look for

16/04/2026

You p*e on a stick. It’s positive.
You go to your GP. You get your bloods done.

And you’re told everything looks “fine”.

Because they ruled out:
HIV.
Rubella.
Syphilis.

But no one checked if your body actually has what it needs to grow a baby.

No proper iron assessment.
No deep dive into B12.
Thyroid barely scratched.
Vitamin D? Maybe. Maybe not.
Blood sugar? Often missed early.

So you’re exhausted…
dizzy…
anxious…
running on empty…

…and told “that’s just pregnancy.”

No. It’s not.

It’s under-tested physiology.

And I see it every single week.

This isn’t about blaming your GP.
It’s about understanding the system isn’t built for optimal.

If you’re pregnant (or trying), you need to know what to actually ask for.

Drop a “YES” and I’ll send you the full pregnancy blood test checklist.

My top favs I prescribe daily in practice

🧡 Fish Oil are rich in omega 3 fatty acids, fish oil helps to reduce inflammation and balance hormones. Aim for 2-3 grams daily

🧡Turmeric has beautiful anti-inflammatory properties that decrease prostaglandin levels. Aim for a highly bioavailable curcumin to ensure you absorb it. Black pepper can boost absorption too!

🧡Magnesium Glycinate helps to relax your muscles to help ease menstrual cramps. Aim for 400mg daily

🧡Broccoli Sprouts improves oestrogen detoxification

🧡 Ladies Mantle this herb is known to reduce heavy bleeding

🧡 Calcium D Glucarate helps improve oestrogen detox out of the gut via reduction of beta glucoronidase

🧡 Raspberry Leaf strengthens uterine tissue and eases heavy bleeding

🧡Iodine protects your body from oestrogen, reducing how much oestrogen your body is exposed to. If you have an autoimmune thyroid condition caution iodine use as it can make things worse

🧡 Support glucoronidation pathways with taurine, cysteine, methionine

🚨 🙌🏻NATUROPATH PRACTITIONER MENTORSHIP INTAKES ARE NOW OPEN 🙌🏻 🚨

University doesn’t prepare you for the complex cases that sit in the real world.

Being mentored by leaders in my space accelerated my learning and gave me a point of difference. That is, I’m highly skilled in blood test interpretation, all evidence based which provides me with confidence and authority in consults. I then take that information and form protocols with diet, herbs and supplements that actually work.

Why does this work?
Everyone’s drivers are different even down to PCOS, for example
🟡 there are herbs to give to lower LH which will help a woman ovulate
🟡there are herbs that increase LH so you shouldn’t prescribe that to women with PCOS.

This is just one example of thousands where I use precision in my protocols to hone in and target.

I’ve seen over 10,000 clients being a naturopath 10 years in practice.

I make the # invisible, visible. The information in bloods is already there but if you haven’t been trained to see it then you’ll miss and your patients will feel it.

Become the practitioner who
👉🏼 Confidently manage all manners of hormone complaints from low progesterone, to low oestrogen, to high oestrogen to high prolactin, high testosterone, high cortisol, low cortisol and everything in between
👉🏼 Can confidently manage low iron in pregnancy when specialists are pushing for infusion

Enrolment is now open.
Enrolments close 3rd April.
We start Monday 13th April.

There are 15 spots left. Don’t miss your chance.

🚨👉🏼LIMITED INTAKES NOW OPEN 👈🏼🚨

Inside The Unflinching Clinician, you learn to:

🟡read bloods relationally
🟡track direction, not just ranges
🟡understand what’s driving what, going through each marker and figuring out what is mean and then using targeted supplements, diet and lifestyle interventions that actually work.
🟡hold complex cases without second-guessing

I’ve been a Naturopath for over a decade and this is how I’ve built a highly successful online practice.

If you’re early-career but serious, apply.

You don’t need more protocols. You need standards.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Most early-career naturopaths are taught to react to red flags.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Out of range?
Act.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Within range?
Relax.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But physiology drifts long before it collapses.
TSH doesn’t jump to 6.
It climbs quietly.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Ferritin doesn’t crash overnight.
It erodes.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Glucose levels don’t suddenly look diabetic overnight, that’s been brewing for years. Imagine if you could spot that and turn the tide around.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Imagine being the practitioner who spots hyperparathyroidism that lead to a cancer diagnosis in your client. That was me, I had a 20yr old whose calcium labs looked off, but I knew they looked off because I was trained to understand bloods. I knew the next step and lead with confidence (even the specialist wasn’t convinced) but a scan confirmed that this client has a cancerous tumour on her parathyroid. And it was me, a naturopath who picked it up. Not the specialist.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Borrowed standards create borrowed confidence.
Serious practitioners define their own.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Sign ups close Friday 3rd April. This is an intimate mentorship, spots are limited.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We start Monday 13th April. This is my first and only time this year I will be offering this mentorship container.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you’re early-career but serious about learning to see patterns before they become pathology, comment “standards” and I’ll send you the details.

You don’t need more information.

You need to learn how to see what you can’t see. Make the invisible, visible. The information in bloods is already there but if you haven’t been trained to see the shift, know what a level means and if it’s relevant you are missing things for your patients.

Become the practitioner who spots
👉🏼 Hashimoto’s long before thyroid numbers shift
👉🏼 Can manage a post partum thyroiditis flare
👉🏼 Can confidently and consistently drop antibodies

Enrolment is now open. We start Monday 13th April. Spots are very limited so if have been considering joining this exclusive mentorship. Don’t miss your chance. I will offer this once this year.

If you only struggle 7–10 days a month, you’re not “moody”… you’ve got a pattern.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The luteal phase is basically your body’s stress test or an unveiling of you like. What you could handle pre ovulation comes crashing down in the lead up to your period, and the reason can be wide ranging.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
For some it’s the
👉🏼 bloating, puffiness, sore breasts, heaviness with mood swings ➖ that’s oestrogen having a party without adequate progesterone
👉🏼 teariness, insomnia, waking up anxious, anxiety, intrusive thoughts, spotting leading up to period, or brown discharge when period starts ➖ I’m thinking inadequate progesterone
👉🏼 low motivation, flatness, feeling ‘meh’, can’t be bothered anymore ➖ thinking low testosterone and/or low DHEA
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Now you could have a combo of these things and so you feel like a right hot mess…and before ovulation you may feel better because your testosterone is rising so you cope better. Or maybe you feel worse around ovulation and that’s because you’re already too high oestrogen is starting to sore again and that’s makes your histamine symptoms like itchiness, anxiety, breast pain, dizziness, headaches run wild.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It may feel complex but once you have bloods done and have them viewed under the right lens everything makes sense very quickly.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And that’s what I do each and every day, help you make sense of what others can’t see, help you see what is happening so you finally feel understood, seen and heard.
