Two days away, fully relaxed — and my digestion responded immediately.
Proof that the nervous system is just as important as what’s on the plate.

I’ve put together a wonderful package to help you kick start your wellbeing this winter. This time if year can be super busy and we can tend to forget about ourselves and get caught up in the whirlwind of Christmas looming, social events and for some a busy work period. This can all impact not just physical health but also mental health. With the darker days, colder climate and less time outside our mood can be impacted.

This package is designed to help support your energy and stress levels, whilst keeping you grounded and calm, with both the healing components of acupuncture and reflexology complimented with a nutritional support it’s a winning combination to have as part of your wellbeing toolkit this winter.

Check it out, link in bio. Or DM me to enquire.

🍀 Your gut influences everything from digestion and mood to immunity and energy. When in balance, you feel nourished and resilient. When it’s not, symptoms like bloating, fatigue, anxiety, and skin flare ups can creep in.

Nutrition and targeted gut testing help us understand what’s growing and what needs pruning! Curious about your gut? Looking to Optimise your health and digestion? DM me to explore testing and tailored support.

💪 So it’s not just about gains, it’s about goals, gut and values. Which one fits your vibe?

🧈Whey is rapidly absorbed, offering quick energy release and fast muscle recovery thanks to its high leucine content, but if you have a sensitive gut or lactose sensitivity this may not be the one for you.

🫛 Pea protein on the other hand digests more slowly, providing steadier energy, it contains more iron and fibre but is lower in leucine. It’s a good choice for sensitive guts, minimal chance of bloating.

🙌 Both are complete proteins but each aligns with different dietary needs and therapeutic goals.

🏃‍♂️ Match the protein to your physiology, not just your plate.

What can you do to help support Butyrate production?

* Eat foods high in prebiotics, think onions, garlic, flaxseeds, lentils, asparagus, peas & beans.

* Enjoy fermented foods such as kimchi, sauerkraut, kefir and miso.

* Aim to include a source of fibre with every meal such as leafy greens, nuts, seeds, whole grains such as whole wheat, brown rice and oats.

* Enjoy polyphenol rich foods such as dark chocolate, extra virgin olive oil, green tea and dark leafy greens.

* Avoid ultra processed foods and those high in added sugars as they feed your less helpful microbes which can crowd out the good ones.

* Make your plate colourful, avoid plates of beige food. Our gut microbes thrive on diversity.

* The take away here is that what you eat can really impact how you feel. Your gut doesn’t just digest it communicates and protects. By feeding your gut the right types of fibre you help it produce butyrate a tiny molecule with massive influence!

* I must add Butyrate is just one of the many powerful gifts a fibre rich diet brings to your body and mind.

💖 So consider your next fibre rich meal an act of self care because your gut and brain will thank you for it.

Anxious, flat mood, bloated? Or just not yourself lately? Your gut might be trying to tell you something.

The gut and brain are in constant conversation, and when an imbalanced microbiome and/or inflammation disrupts that connection, it can show up as low energy, low mood or heightened anxiety alongside gut symptoms.

By calming the gut, supporting digestion, and gently nourishing the nervous system, we can bring the body back into balance. Your body’s not broken it’s just asking you to listen.

At my practice I offer nutritional therapy, acupuncture and gut testing to support all of these areas.

You don’t need to decode this alone, DM me if you want to chat more about these therapies and begin your Gut + Mood Reset Journey.
