One of my patients and I had a conversation this past week about her goals in her return to work in September. After a summer of rest and clarity, her goals were to move consistently, prep lunches in advance, and set healthier boundaries at work.

Changing nutrition and movement takes work: planning, decision-making, willpower, time. Capacity doesn’t magically appear; it’s created when we protect it.

If work emails bleed into your evenings, if family demands override your own self-care, if your calendar is booked wall to wall — it’s not a lack of motivation holding you back. It’s a lack of boundaries.

I love hearing about and supporting you in your goals, and most of my job is about the HOW. Let’s dig deep and talk about boundaries to support you in this next season of the year!

We now know that getting your labwork done is huge for cutting through the confusion and giving us real data to understand exactly what's happening inside.

But, why is this so important?

1/ Conditions like thyroid dysfunction, insulin resistance, or PCOS can look similar, but need different treatments.

2/ Prevention is key! High cholesterol and elevated blood sugar don’t always show symptoms, but catching them early can be life-changing.

3/ With lab tests, you get the clarity you need to make informed health decisions. And guess what? You don’t have to guess anymore.

Lab tests give you clarity, not questions. No more guessing.⁣
⁣
Thanks for following along with my Know Your Numbers series! I hope it helped you feel more confident about your labwork and what those numbers really mean. ⁣

Menopause is a clinical definition, described as one full year without a menstrual period. For most over the age of 45 experiencing typical menopausal symptoms, routine hormone testing is not usually necessary. Diagnosis is typically based on your age, health history, menstrual patterns, and symptoms.

This can feel frustrating, many understandably want concrete lab results. But here’s why testing isn’t always helpful: hormone levels fluctuate constantly throughout the menstrual cycle and even from month to month. A test on one day might look very different from another, making interpretation tricky and sometimes misleading.

Instead, symptom tracking is often more helpful in identifying the root of your concerns, whether it’s perimenopause, PMS, iron deficiency, thyroid issues, insulin resistance, or something else.

Reach out to schedule a consult, your hormones (and your peace of mind) are worth it.

Let’s bust a myth: Testing your cortisol isn’t always the best place to start.

Cortisol is a dynamic hormone. It fluctuates throughout the day, responds to your environment, your thoughts, your sleep... basically, everything.

Unless you're being tested for specific medical conditions like Addison’s or Cushing’s, those test results? Often not that helpful.

This is the real data we need to support your hormones and your wellbeing.

A handful of nuts is not lunch!

Are you working from home and not breaking to eat until 2 pm?
Are you home with kids and eating more snacks than a full and consistent lunch?

Are you working from home and not eating until 2 PM? Or are you at home with kids, snacking more than having a proper, consistent lunch?

Looking to make a change? Here are my top tips!

👉Make the decision of what to have for lunch the night before while you’re packing up dinner.
Preloading this decision in your brain can make it easier in the moment the next day to grab what you’d already decided on.

👉Set your lunch time as an alarm.
If you’re finding that you are forgetting to eat, start setting yourself an alarm and stopping when it goes off.
Your body needs this fuel to focus, stay calm and have the energy that you need throughout the day!

Why do we focus on progress instead of perfection?

Because you, your body, your goals and your needs are constantly changing!

Progress allows for flexibility, there will be weeks when life gets crazy. Habits and routines that you've built can support you through that.

Progress means recognizing that the meal plan you've put yourself on is causing you stress which is causing more harm than good.

Progress means taking your iron with your yoghurt even though that’s not optimal for absorption (but WAY better than not taking it if you need it!).

Progress means grabbing a protein bar even if it’s a bit processed over skipping your breakfast.

Progress means realizing that your sleep is more important than your exercise at some points.

It means changing and adapting with your body's different needs.

So, what piece of progress are you implementing this week?

I see so many patients bogged down by trivial things like:

👉The timing of their coffee
👉The search for seed oils in ingredients
👉Electrolytes, and parasite cleanses

But they’re forgetting the pillars of health and investigation that will actually get them achieving their goals and understanding their unique bodies. Make your time, energy and investment count by working with someone who can cut through the bu****it!

Not only that, but what’s really key is accountability.

We all have hard days, weeks, and seasons. And that means we sometimes need some hand-holding, troubleshooting in difficult times, more ideas/inspiration, and support with specific goals.

P.S - It’s also so much nicer to celebrate with another person when we’re seeing success!

This person doesn’t need to be me, maybe it’s another ND, your doctor, a personal trainer, dietician or other healthcare provider. Maybe it’s all of the above, but talk about your health goals with someone to get clear about what’s most impactful and to hold yourself accountable!

There’s a reason why a lot of the treatment plans that I put in place are very basic. Or at least seem basic. The truth is, we can't get complex until we have the basic needs first.

And I see a lot of patients that have many, many, MANY things on their plates. And for a lot of these clients, their own health needs are falling to the back burner. That’s why we go back to basics.

And I fully recognize how difficult these “basic” things can be, and I have lots of great strategies to support you to put these in place.

Reach out if you feel like you're struggling. And when you're feeling guilty for being late for your meeting because you hadn't eaten breakfast yet, I want you to remember basic human needs first...
