Perimenopause is having a huge moment right now and unfortunately, a lot of women are being misdiagnosed or self-diagnosing.

As much as I love seeing more conversations about women's health, we need to be really careful about how we approach trends like this.

Many women are coming to my clinic after taking off the shelf supplements or supplements endorsed by influencers, sharing that they initially felt better.

However, as time progresses this tends to change and they end up back at square one (or worse) months down the track.

How can this be? The supplements they're taking are treating the symptoms rather than the root cause.

If the underlying cause is sleep deprivation, poor liver clearance, nervous system disregulation or nutrient deficiencies, the body will keep sending you louder messages until you finally pay attention.

Aconite is an amazing tool at this time of year as we face cold, dry winds. You'll find that it is particularly useful at the beginning of an infection and it plays a big role in my Fever Help, Tie Revision, Little Teeth & Ear Ache Relief blends.


All are available on my website: www.jospies.com.au

When my client told me her nervous system was fu***ng fried, I knew exactly what she meant.

That feeling of being constantly on edge.
Over stimulated when two people talk at once.
Reactive because everything feels loud.
Completely exhausted but wired AF.

It starts showing up as snapping over small things. Needing a bit of quiet but never getting it. Feeling overwhelmed by noise, touch or like everyone needs something from you.

It's incredibly common in women and especially common in mothers.

And then comes the guilt.
The guilt of not feeling like yourself anymore.
The guilt of snapping at people who don’t deserve it.
The guilt of not knowing what’s wrong, or how to fix it.

Often, when women feel overwhelmed they're told they need a break. A ladie's lunch is lovely. A bath can be nice.

But the truth is, what you really need is to give yourself the support, safety and space to let your nervous system heal.

So, here's a starting place with getting your nervous system back on track and if you would like more help, comment CONSULT and I'll send over my appointment details x

Ladies, we need to talk about rage.

More than 46% of women experience significant anger or irritability at similar rates to men, yet many of us, think we’re alone in feeling aggressively pi**ed off at everything.

Women’s anger doesn’t come from nowhere.

It’s physiological.
It’s social.
It’s systemic.
It’s economic.
It’s hormonal.

After 20 years in clinic, I’ve learnt that women need to stop blaming themselves for symptoms that are actually signals. Rage is one way that our body communicates with us and it’s important that we listen.

Most people don't realise how painful eczema can be unless they've seen it upclose for themselves.

For adults, babies and children, it can be completely debilitating and incredibly stressful.

Unfortunately, a lot of the topical treatments on the market have made the situation worse for many of my clients.

The good news is that homeopathy often brings results very quickly, there's no side effects and it's suitable for babies, breastfeeding or pregnant mothers, elderly and alongside prescription medications.

If you'd like to develop a personalised, practitioner grade approach to addressing your eczema symptoms, I invite you to book in a consult - link is in the comments.

I find that having a go to list of kid approved lunch box recipes really really helps!

There's so many great stainless steel bento box options around now, it makes giving kids a nutritious, filling and tasty lunch that much easier.

What are your favourite things to send off with your kids to school?
