✨ Gut Talk with Roxana✨6th and final part

In this final part, Roxana shares why the GEMM Protocol is one of the most impactful approaches for people struggling with gut health. 🌱

The Gastrointestinal Ecology & Metabolic Modulation (GEMM) Protocol is a science-backed, food-first approach that goes beyond symptom relief. One of its key strengths is supporting the gut–immune interface —the dynamic cross-talk between your gut lining, microbiome, and immune system.

Since around 70% of your immune cells live in the gut, this interface acts like a control center, deciding whether to trigger inflammation or promote balance. When it’s disrupted, chronic gut issues, food intolerances, and even autoimmune conditions can take hold.

Through targeted foods and nutrients, GEMM helps to:

✅ Repair the gut lining
✅ Rebalance the microbiome
✅ Restore healthy communication between gut and immune system
✅ Reduce inflammation

It’s especially helpful for those dealing with:

* IBS & SIBO
* Reflux & bloating
* Autoimmune conditions
* Leaky gut
* Food intolerances
* Post-infectious gut issues
…and many more.

The goal isn’t just short-term relief—it’s supporting the body to help itself 🧩

💡 If you’ve been struggling with ongoing gut issues and want a structured, holistic approach, the GEMM protocol could be a game-changer for you.

✨ Gut healing isn’t a 30-day challenge — it’s a lifestyle shift.

When it feels like progress is “too slow,” remember: the body has spent years (sometimes decades) building up imbalances. True healing requires time for tissues, microbiome, and metabolism to re-balance.

Here are 3 mindset shifts that make the journey easier:

1️⃣ Measure progress in wins, not timelines. Better energy, clearer skin, fewer cravings — these count as signs of healing, even before lab results shift.

2️⃣ Sustainability beats intensity. A single habit you keep for life matters more than 10 changes you drop after 2 weeks.

3️⃣ Healing is non-linear. Setbacks don’t mean failure — they’re feedback to slow down, adjust, and keep moving forward.

🌱 Be patient with your gut — it’s designed to heal, if you give it the right conditions.

✨ Gut Talk with Roxana — Part 4 ✨

Food sensitivities aren’t random. They’re a signal that your gut + immune system are under pressure.

Here’s how it often unfolds 👇

1️⃣ Stress, toxins, infections, poor diet, medications → weaken the gut lining (covered in Parts 1–3 of this reel series).
2️⃣ The tight junctions in your intestines stop working properly.
3️⃣ Large food particles + toxins slip through into your bloodstream.
4️⃣ Your immune system, now confused, reacts to foods that should be safe.

💡The real solution isn’t just cutting out trigger foods forever. It’s about:

👉 Calming inflammation so the immune system isn’t in overdrive.

👉 Rebuilding the gut lining with nutrients from diet and supplements that heal and restore.

👉 Balancing the microbiome (benefial and balanced bacteria = stronger gut barrier).

👉 Identifying root causes like infections, mould, or chronic stress that keep the gut compromised.

When you address the why, you don’t just manage symptoms — you restore tolerance and expand food freedom again. 🌱

Watch this series if you’ve been wondering why your food reactions are increasing or changing over time. 💚

✨ Spring is the season of renewal: the perfect time to give your body a reset.

Start with DetoxClear, the foundation that preps your liver and gut so your system is ready to let go of what it doesn’t need.

From there, you can choose your target:
🌿 HM-Clear for heavy metals
🌿 DioxiClear for pesticides and chemicals
🌿 SolvClear for solvents and plastics

Think of DetoxClear as the base, and the others as did-ons depending on what your body needs the most. Together, they help clear toxins, protects your cells, and boost your energy so you feel lighter and more balance this season. 🌸

For those of you who saw the article on Channel 7 about B6 - an essential vitamin that is being demonized via hype and ignorance of the facts.

Vitamin B6 is an essential water soluble vitamin that acts as a co-enzyme in more than 100 metabolic reactions in the body. This includes brain health, red blood cell formation, sugar and fat metabolism etc etc. It is also not stored in the body so has to come from a good daily diet and at times supplements.

It is also -
a. Depleted by taking oral contraception and
b. The lack of which can contribute to PMDD which is very distressing to experience for women pre-menstrually.

I wrote an email to Jennifer Bechwati to ask if she would consider reaching out to someone like me as a source of the right information when writing such articles - but have had no response.

Here are the key points I raised :

Firstly no qualified Health Practitioner would prescribe over the maximum of 150mg per day of B6 - because indeed we all know that there can be symptoms of tingling and potential nerve damage from consistently taking too much B6.

People often supplement thinking they are doing the right thing but without proper counsel - and can end up taking well over the daily dose if they don’t get this helpful professional advice.

Nick Mann - the lawyer acting for the person concerned - was quoted as saying - re. women who are pregnant or breastfeeding - that “you could be taking a pregnancy multivitamin and a magnesium supplement combined. You could have 50,60 times the recommended daily intake of B6.”

This is simple and utter rubbish, it’s untrue and misleading to the public.

In a practitioner only Pre Natal you might have 25mg of B6 and maybe the same in a magnesium supplement … even if you take two of each daily that’s 100mg and the recommended dose is up to 150mg. There is no possibility of therefore taking 60 times the amount … that is incorrect and poorly informed reporting. That’s 9000mg of B6! No one could ingest that many tablets or powders to reach that amount. Ever.
A Lawyers job is to interpret the law, not practice as a Naturopath.

We have the latest new and beautiful foundation “Skintuition” by Jane Iredale !

This foundation is perfect for anyone who wants a dewy look, with amazing buildable coverage that blends so easily, while also having physical sunscreen protection of SPF 30 !

What is the difference between physical and chemical SPF ? You may well ask.

Physical SPF creates a physical barrier against UV rays and deflects them, having a low risk of irritation to the skin and considered safe for marine life. On the other hand - chemical sunscreen absorbs UV rays, converts them to heat and releases them. However they can cause irritation to the skin and not all are marine friendly.

We are really excited about this silky foundation - which also has a wide shade range to suit all skin types and tones.

As are all Jane Iredale products this is non-comedogenic and full of natural botanicals to support the health of your skin.

Sage turning 19 is pause for reflection and celebration 💚🔥

We opened on the 12th April 2006 up at North Bondi - with Leah White, Naomi Tier, Sarah Luck and myself - all very excited to begin this small business, combining our talents in Remedial massage, Naturopathy, Beauty and Holistic Dr Hauschka facials, then MV Skintherapy followed by Eminence Organics.

Our first year was great and we added Catriona Davies to our team.

In 2007 the world went into recession and while many still argue that Australia wasn’t affected, it was - I still remember those days, months and that year - as many people lost their jobs no matter what industry they were in and were very affected by the change in circumstances.
Our phones went quiet overnight and I quickly started to think about how we were going to navigate through as our business was heavily impacted - and I was only in year 2!
I decided to do the opposite of what you would think - employing more women on contract part time so as to offer more services - but without financially killing me! Added to finding great therapists - with the support of all of our suppliers we managed to trade through on extended terms which helped us survive that very challenging and difficult year.

Niamh Gill and Evonne Spathis joined us along with Etta Winn, Wind de Moet and Sujani Paek, Kerry, Mei and many more funny lovely women over the years.

I decided to go back and study Herbal medicine with Evonne and we had a year working & studying together while Niamh studied Nutrition & climbed up to base camp on Mount Everest! Sujani studied Acupuncture - and everyone ended up having kids and getting married and just came back when they could. Somehow that all worked out!

Two years ago we moved to Jaques Ave and again the world went into a financial crisis - I realised this was my doing 😂

We have given unremittingly to our community and achieved many personal and business goals along the way.

By 2024 we had won five business awards - 3 for Environmental Sustainability and 2 for Excellence in service.

We sponsor PaL and support many local schools and feel so blessed to be part of this wonderful community ♥️
