Are you 35+ and noticing your body just isn’t “bouncing back” like it used to? Maybe your stomach doesn’t sit flat anymore, you’re constantly fighting brain fog, or you’re over feeling tired and puffy. Whether you are navigating peri, struggling with endo, or finding yourself reacting to foods that never used to be an issue, these shifts aren’t just “part of getting older”, they are often the downstream impacts driven by your gut.

Ever wonder what’s actually happening in your microbiome?

For the month of February, I’m offering 20% off Microbiome Explorer tests. This offer is available for both initial and return appointments, making it the perfect time to get the data you need kick off your “new year, new me” vibes.

Why I love Microba Explorer testing:

* Comprehensive DNA Sequencing: This uses advanced technology to identify the specific species in your gut and, more importantly, their functional impact on your health.
* Understand the Systemic Link: Your gut bacteria influence everything from hormone metabolism and peri symptoms to the brain chemicals that affect your energy and mental clarity.
* Evidence-Based: Move past the influencer prescribed supps with data that allows us to tailor your health plan specifically to your biology, addressing the puffiness and the fatigue at the source.

Stop the guesswork. Book your February appointment today to secure your discounted kit and finally understand the data behind how you’re feeling.

Note: Quantities are limited and this offer is only available for the month of February.

Today’s clinic summary: Proving that “brain fog” and being “always tired” isn’t a personality trait, it’s the downstream effect of poor metabolic signaling. Because “I’m tired” is rarely just about sleep and usually about the complex intersection of low dopamine, nutritional deficiencies, cardiovascular lag, and chronic systemic inflammation++.

My job is finding the “why” in the gap between “clinically normal” labs and “physiologically optimal”.

What’s on for you today?

A 47yo female presented with central weight gain, engorged breasts, constipation, and profound brain fog with word-finding delays.

We tested;

* Pathology: LFTs (ALT/GGT), B12, Folate, and Cholesterol.
* Metabolic: HOMA-IR and a full Thyroid panel.
* DUTCH Testing: To map hormone metabolites.

We found:

* Liver & Metabolic: Elevated HOMA-IR and Cholesterol pointed to early NAFLD. This congestion hindered T4 to T3 thyroid conversion, stalling her metabolism. Which impacts the SOD, further slowing digestion.
* The PEMT Link: Oestrogen drives the PEMT gene to produce phosphatidylcholine for bile flow. Declining oestrogen and high insulin “gunked up” her bile, blocking hormone excretion.
* Hormonal Backlog: DUTCH showed a preference for the 16-OH and 4-OH pathway. Combined with constipation, these metabolites were reabsorbed, fueling breast pain and neuroinflammation.
* Brain Chemistry: Suboptimal B12 and Folate bottlenecked methylation, stalling the clearance of oestrogen and dopamine. This biochemical “traffic jam” resulted in the word-finding delays and cognitive fog.

See how it’s not always about an “HRT deficiency”?

The current online narrative often promotes Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) without addressing a critical physiological requirement: the body’s ability to metabolise and excrete hormones. Adding exogenous hormones to a system that cannot effectively clear them may lead to significant adverse effects.

For hormones to be utilised and removed effectively, several biological systems must be functioning optimally:

Liver Detoxification
Bile Secretion
The Estrobolome
Elimination Frequency
Genetic and Nutritional Capacity
Stress, Support, & Mental Health
More++

Before initiating HRT, it is essential to assess whether the body can manage the additional hormonal load.

A successful hormonal strategy requires a foundation of functional clearance to prevent the accumulation of metabolites that cause negative side effects.

Did your doctor discuss these with you?

Fun fact: Caffeine doesn’t actually “give” you energy. It just hijacks the receptors in your brain that tell you you’re tired. It’s essentially a legal restraining order against exhaustion.

In our 20s, energy was a gift. Over 35, it’s a high-interest loan. Coffee is the stimulus package that keeps the economy of our to-do list from collapsing.

While I love the “VC” ritual, I’m more of an Orthoplex Bioenhqnced Methyl-B, Mediherb Phytoregenex, and choline girly myself.

There is a big difference between needing the slavers drink to mask fatigue and supporting cellular energy.

Remember: Coffee borrows energy from tomorrow; the right supp stack builds it for today.

Did you know we offer 15 minute “check-in” sessions for $60?

If your supplement shelf has gathered a little dust lately, or your “food as medicine” goals got swapped for bulk cheese and holiday leftovers, I get it, it happened to me as well. Sometimes, January is not where its at.

Remember, health is progress not perfection.

My role as your Naturopath is to collab with you in making your health align with your routine, not an idealised version of it.

What we do in 15 minutes:

* Acknowledge the detour without the guilt.
* Tweak your current plan to fit your “back-to-work” reality.
* Simplify your routine so it feels doable again.
* Give prescription reassurance.
* Offer accountability.

You don’t need to “fix” everything before we chat. Let’s just start where you are.

Yesterday we looked at why drive and function are two distinct systems, the software and the hardware. Today, we look at how we support the entire biological stack.

The list in this tile isn’t a “take everything” protocol. As a Naturopath, my job is to identify which specific layer of your stack is failing. However, understanding the mechanisms is the first step to optimisation:

- Vascular Infrastructure: We use specific nutrients to protect the endothelium (the inner lining of your arteries) and ensure your body has the raw materials to produce Nitric Oxide. This is what keeps the 1–2 mm “hardware” flexible enough to hold pressure.

- Hormonal Signaling: The “software” requires specific mineral co-factors and hormone precursors to send a clear signal. If these are missing, the drive drops, and arterial flexibility follows.

- Methylation & Clearance: We must manage markers like homocysteine, which can act like “sandpaper” on your arteries if left unchecked. Proper methylation ensures your vascular hardware stays smooth and functional.

- Neurological Transmission: The connection between “the thought” and “the response” relies on neurotransmitters and electrolytes. These ensure the electrical signal from the brain actually reaches its destination without interference.

- The System Drains: You cannot out-supplement “bugs” in the system. High insulin, chronic inflammation, stress, huge workloads, and toxins like alcohol/ smoking actively corrode the hardware while crashing the software.

A man’s health is a unified system. We don’t just treat symptoms; we repair the machine from the ground up.

It’s a lot isn’t it? This is why you can’t take generalised advice from socials. Individual support is always prioritised. Curious on how we can help you or hubby? Send me a DM.

Most men bundle “libido” and “erectile function” into the same category, but they are two distinct systems that happen to work together. Libido is the drive, the “software” the neurological and hormonal desire to engage. Erectile function is the “hardwire” the ability of the 1–2 mm pe**le arteries to dilate and hold pressure. While low libido isn’t always a vascular issue, a loss of firmness is almost always a sign of systemic arterial stiffening.

When a 45-year-old patient tells me he has lost his drive, the first thing I look at is his vascular health. Testosterone is a major regulator of nitric oxide; if his testosterone is low, his “Drive” drops, but so does his arterial flexibility. This creates a dangerous stack where the hormonal decline actually accelerates the physical stiffening of his arteries.

However, if a man still has the desire but the physical response is failing, that is a clear “hardware” error. In older men, this is the canary in the coal mine we discussed in my last post. In these cases, the vascular system is too stiff to respond to the brain’s signal. The “software” is restricted by endothelial fragility and a widening pulse pressure, meaning the heart is fighting too much resistance to get blood where it needs to go.

Understanding this distinction changes the treatment. We don’t just give testosterone if the pipes are too stiff to dilate, and we don’t just use herbal/ nutritional vasodilators if the hormonal signal is missing. We have to address the entire stack, restoring the hormonal “software” while simultaneously repairing the vascular “hardware” to ensure the system works as a unified whole.

Ask Yourself:

• Do you have the desire to be intimate but find that your “hardware” isn’t responding like it used to? (This is a Flow/Vascular issue).
• Have you lost interest entirely, feeling a general “flatness” in both the gym and the bedroom? (This is a Drive/Hormonal issue).
• Are you experiencing both the loss of drive and physical symptoms like heavy legs or slow recovery? (This is a Systemic Stack).

Keep an eye out for tomorrow’s post, where we discuss how to support each picture.
