I’m very pleased and honoured to be invited to speak as part of this April Expert Talk, where I’ll be sharing a functional and lifestyle medicine perspective on women’s hormonal health. Supporting women in understanding the deeper connections between hormones, stress, thyroid and gut health is something I’m very passionate about, and I’m really looking forward to this webinar.

🌟 April Expert Talk: Introducing a Functional and Lifestyle Medicine Approach to Women’s Health - looking beyond symptoms to uncover root causes.

Hormones don’t change in isolation - they’re deeply connected to stress, thyroid health, gut function and overall wellbeing.

The hormonal shifts that occur during perimenopause and menopause, and how factors such as chronic stress and thyroid imbalance can influence everything from energy and mood to weight, sleep and metabolic health.

This session will introduce a functional and lifestyle medicine approach to women’s health- looking beyond symptoms to uncover root causes.

We’ll discuss how advanced functional testing (including hormones, adrenal, gut, DNA and toxin exposure testing) can provide deeper insight and help create personalised, targeted support for optimal hormonal balance and long-term health.

Join us to better understand your body, connect the dots between hormones and overall health, and discover a more holistic, personalised path to feeling well.

Every year on the last Thursday before Ash Wednesday, Poland celebrates Tłusty Czwartek, or Fat Thursday, marking the final days of Carnival before the 40-day Lenten fast in the Roman Catholic calendar.

It’s a day dedicated to indulgence, tradition, and one iconic treat: pączki 🍩

These deep-fried yeast dough pastries are typically filled with rose petal preserve or plum jam, then topped with icing or a dusting of powdered sugar. On this single day, an estimated 100 million pączki are eaten across Poland 😋 that’s more than two per person on average!!

The tradition dates back to at least the 16th century. Early versions, known as kreple, evolved over time into the lighter, sweeter pastries enjoyed today. By the 18th century, they were already being served in aristocratic courts.

Now? Long bakery lines, powdered sugar everywhere, and absolutely ZERO guilt (I’ve had 4 so far 🤭).
Because if you don’t eat at least one pączek… it’s said you might have bad luck all year 😉
How many have you eaten?

Blueberry Almond Cake (Same Base, New Mood 💙)

This is THAT cake. The one I make on repeat. The base never changes… soft almond sponge, lightly sweet, beautifully simple… but I swap the fruit depending on what needs using up.

This time? Sweet, bursting blueberries. And honestly… it might be my favourite version.

Ingredients
* 2 large eggs
* 160g almond flour
* 2 tbsp self-raising flour (I use GF Dove Farm)
* 75g butter, melted (or avocado oil or EVOO)
* 4 tbsp maple syrup or coconut sugar
* ½ tsp baking powder
* 200g blueberries (fresh or frozen- no need to defrost if frozen)
* 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 180°C and grease or line a 24cm round cake tin.
In a bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients- eggs, melted butter (or oil), maple syrup and vanilla- until smooth and glossy.
Gradually fold in the almond flour, self-raising flour and baking powder. Mix until just combined, no overworking needed.
Now for the blueberries. If using fresh, you can toss them in as they are. If frozen, add them straight from the freezer, this helps prevent them bleeding too much into the batter. We want whole berries, not purple streaks. Leave a handful of berries aside.
Pour the batter into your prepared tin and scatter the remaining blueberries over the top, lightly pressing them in. Optional- sprinkle some almond flakes on top.
Bake for around 45 minutes, until golden and set in the middle.
Let it cool slightly before slicing (if you can wait that long).

Serve with vanilla ice cream (you can’t beat the ice cream from my local raw milk farm)
Ta dah 😇

We talk about menopause all day. But what about andropause?

Testosterone doesn’t fall off a cliff like oestrogen. It slowly declines ~1% per year after 40- and free testosterone drops even faster thanks to rising SHBG.

And this isn’t just about libido and bedroom aerobic 😉
Low testosterone is associated with: • ↑ coronary artery disease & CV mortality  • ↑ insulin resistance & type 2 diabetes  • ↑ inflammation & visceral fat • ↑ cognitive decline risk- especially when free T is low.
Meanwhile SHBG (the hormone “gatekeeper”) rises with age and binds up testosterone, meaning total T can look “normal” while bioavailable T is low.
Translation? This isn’t a bedroom issue. It’s a brain + heart + metabolic issue.
If I’m evaluating andropause, I’m not ordering just a total T. ✔️ Total + Free Testosterone ✔️ SHBG ✔️ Estradiol + Estrone ✔️ DHT ✔️ DHEA ✔️ LH/FSH ✔️ PSA ✔️ CBC + metabolic panel
Men don’t get hot flashes. They get fatigue, irritability, belly fat, brain fog, and a “slow fade” we call ageing.

And let’s not ignore the elephant in the room: our toxic environment. Plastics, endocrine disruptors, pesticides, and environmental oestrogens don’t just “exist”- they interfere with the hormonal axis. Many of these chemicals act as xenoestrogens, increasing aromatase activity and disrupting testosterone production at the testicular and hypothalamic-pituitary level. Add chronic inflammation and insulin resistance from modern living, and you have a perfect storm for declining testosterone. This isn’t just ageing- it’s exposure.

Maybe it’s time we normalise hormone conversations for men, too.

Let’s explore how histamine, methylation, methyl-b-vitamins and elevated homocysteine can contribute to insomnia. See slides for more context.

Elevated homocysteine can push the brain towards hyper-excitability, weaken inhibitory signalling, and disrupt the neurobiology of sleep.

But it is not a diagnosis, it is a modifiable risk factor. When addressed appropriately, many people notice improvements in sleep quality, greater calm, and improved cognitive resilience.

One important caveat: methylated vitamins do not just “lower homocysteine”.
They increase methyl flux, which directly affects neurotransmitter production and breakdown.
For some brains, that is calming. 🧠
For others, it is overstimulating. 🔥

Histamine plays a role too. It is a wake-promoting neurotransmitter, and its breakdown depends on methylation. Sudden shifts in methylation can destabilise histamine signalling, leading to insomnia, night waking, or a wired-but-tired state.

Lowering homocysteine is not about pushing harder.
It is about balance, context, and the right approach.

A combination of DNA 🧬 and blood 🩸 and urine testing can help with a personalised nutrition and lifestyle approach.

Even though I’m technically off today, I couldn’t let it pass without celebrating. It’s officially 2 years since I joined the amazing Regenerus Labs team as a Clinical Education Specialist.

Over the past two years, I’ve had the privilege of working alongside an incredible group of people who genuinely care about education, innovation, and supporting practitioners in meaningful ways. Being part of a team that helps clinicians confidently use functional testing to improve patient outcomes has been both inspiring and deeply rewarding.

I’m so grateful for the growth, the collaboration, and the shared passion that defines this team. Regenerus truly is something special, and I’m excited to continue building, learning, and seeing what this next year brings.

Recently, my dad passed away. Even though I knew it was coming, accepting it has been harder than I imagined.
Grief is strange and deeply personal, nothing truly prepares you for it. We don’t often talk about it. We each move through it in our own way, step by step, day by day. Some days you feel steady, like you’re holding it together. Other days feel hollow, as if time has paused. And sometimes it hits without warning… a song, a smell, a photograph full of love.
But love doesn’t end. Those we’ve lost remain with us in memories that stay warm and alive. If you’re grieving too, hold yourself gently. Move slowly. Heal in your time.
Today it would’ve been my dad’s 75th birthday and nameday. Sending my love ♥️ 🕊️ 💫

Today I want to highlight the oral microbiome part of the conference, because the research presented was truly eye-opening. 🦷

We explored how oral health, especially gum health, plays a major role in our overall wellbeing. It can influence:
❤️ Cardiovascular health
🧠 Cognitive decline & inflammation in the brain
🔥 Systemic inflammation throughout the body
🦴 Bone health
🧬 Immune function
🫁 Even nitric oxide production, which supports healthy blood pressure and circulation.

The message was clear:
A healthy mouth is essential for a healthy body.
And supporting the oral microbiome is just as important as caring for gut or vaginal health.

I’m looking forward to bringing these insights into my work as a Nutritional Therapist & Naturopath- helping patients nourish their microbiome, protect their gums, and support their long-term wellness from the inside out.

I haven’t posted much recently, but behind the scenes I’m still expanding my knowledge to improve patients’ health and wellbeing.

I’m excited to share that I recently attended a fantastic educational event organised by Regenerus, focusing on both the vaginal and oral microbiome- two powerful but often overlooked pillars of whole-body health. 🦠

A woman’s vaginal microbiome changes throughout life, largely driven by oestrogen levels.

As on the 2nd photo you can see that:
* Reproductive years: High oestrogen-> more glycogen-> lactobacilli thrive-> low pH & protection

* Peri-menopause: Fluctuating oestrogen-> microbiome instability-> recurrent thrush, irritation, discharge

* Post-menopause: Low oestrogen-> thinner tissue, fewer lactobacilli-> higher pH, dryness, UTIs & discomfort

When lactobacilli decline, lactic acid drops and symptoms become more common.

🌿 Herbal support may include:
Immune & microbiome herbs (Echinacea, Astragalus, Sage, Rosemary)

Antifungals (Thyme, Oregano, Garlic)

Mucosal & tissue support (Marshmallow, Plantain, Gotu kola)

Anti-inflammatories (Calendula, Chamomile, Turmeric)

Vaginal symptoms aren’t an ageing badge of honour. They’re signs your hormones and microbiome are shifting, and there’s plenty we can do naturally. 😉 🌿 🦠 🧫

October- ADHD Awareness month. ADHD in adult women tends to show up most vividly in real-world roles like family life, relationships, and work. How ADHD can manifest?

👧 In Family and Home Life
Adult women with ADHD often describe feeling like they’re “always behind” or “never caught up.”
Common challenges
* Disorganisation at home: Clutter, unfinished chores, lost items, forgotten appointments.
* Time blindness: Underestimating how long things take; running late for school drop-offs, meals, or errands.
* Overwhelm with daily routines: Managing multiple moving parts (kids, meals, laundry, finances) can feel impossible to juggle.
* Inconsistent routines: Difficulty sticking to meal plans, cleaning schedules, or bedtime routines.
* Emotional exhaustion: Feeling guilty or ashamed for not being the “organized mom/partner.”
Emotional impact
* Feeling like “everyone else can manage” when she can’t.
* Masking difficulties by overcompensating- working longer, skipping rest, or micromanaging details.
* High risk of burnout, especially for mothers juggling home, caregiving, and work.

💓 In Romantic and Social Relationships
Common patterns
* Forgetfulness or distraction can look like not caring — missing birthdays, zoning out in conversations, or forgetting promises.
* Emotional intensity: Big reactions, rapid mood changes, or feeling hurt easily (often linked to rejection sensitivity dysphoria).
* Impulsivity: Blurting things out, interrupting, or making big decisions in the moment (moving, quitting jobs, etc.).
* Difficulty managing conflict: Arguments can escalate quickly due to impulsive responses or difficulty regulating emotions.
* Uneven division of chores: Partners may perceive her as “unreliable” or “disorganised,” leading to tension.
But also...
* ADHD women can be highly empathetic, spontaneous, and creative in relationships.
* They often bring energy, humor, and warmth, but need partners who understand ADHD is neurological, not laziness or carelessness.

As a NT I utilise neurotransmitters and DNA 🧬 tests, which offer insights into how person’s body processes nutrients and help personalise symptoms management strategies.
