✨ What if your skin issues aren’t really about your skin?

Recently I've had a few people ask
“Okay Rachel, but how does gut health relate to my skin health?”

Here’s the truth most people miss 👇

Your skin is often the last place inflammation shows up, the first signs usually start in your gut.

When your digestion isn’t working efficiently, maybe because of microbiome inbalance, low fibre intake, or sluggish detox pathways, it can lead to:

🔹 Breakouts and congestion
🔹 Dull, tired-looking skin
🔹 Sensitivity or redness
🔹 Hormonal flare-ups around the chin and jaw

That’s where gut-supportive tinned foods can be quietly powerful.
Not because they’re fancy but because they’re functional.

🥫 Tinned lentils, chickpeas, and beans provide the soluble fibre your microbiome loves.

That fibre feeds good bacteria, reduces inflammation, and helps your body clear toxins that could otherwise show up on your skin.

🐟 Tinned oily fish supports your cell membranes keeping skin hydrated and reducing the kind of inflammation that drives acne and redness.

🍅 And those antioxidant-rich tinned tomatoes?

They protect skin from oxidative stress one of the key drivers of premature ageing.

So while skincare starts on the surface, skin health begins in your gut.
Feed your microbiome well, and your glow will take care of itself. 🌿

💬 Have you ever noticed your skin reflecting how your gut feels?

How does bloating make you feel?

💭 “I can’t wear the clothes I like.”
💭 “It stops me from eating out.”
💭 “I’m exhausted and embarrassed.”
💭 “It’s so uncomfortable.”
💭 “Honestly… it makes me feel like sh*t.”
💭 “It slows me down.”

If you’ve ever said (or thought) any of these — you’re not alone.
Bloating isn’t just about your stomach. It affects how you move, eat, think, and show up in the world.

But here’s the truth, bloating isn’t something you have to “just live with.”
When you get to the root cause (food sensitivities, gut imbalance, stress hormones), that heavy, sluggish feeling starts to disappear.

✨ Imagine waking up with a flatter, calmer stomach.
✨ Eating out without fear or discomfort.
✨ Feeling confident in your clothes again.

It starts with understanding your gut not fighting it.

“I feel so bloated it’s not even funny...

That’s what one of my clients said recently and honestly, I hear it all the time.

I work with high-achieving women trying to juggle everything - work, family, life but deep down, they’re running on empty.

They come to me to:
✨ Boost their energy
✨ Improve memory & focus
✨ Balance mood & hormones

So they can finally feel like themselves again even when they don’t have the headspace to think about it.

Here’s what I’m hearing 👇
💭 “I feel constantly bloated I don’t even know what to eat anymore.”
💭 “My memory has definitely declined I feel drained after a long day.”
💭 “The anxiety and mood swings are exhausting it’s like I’m on a hormonal roller coaster.”

The truth? These symptoms are connected.
Your gut, hormones, mood, and energy are all part of the same conversation happening inside your body every single day.

When you start listening to those signals instead of pushing through them, everything begins to shift.

✨ Energy returns
✨ Clarity comes back
✨ You feel calm, grounded, and in control again

If this sounds familiar you’re not alone, and it’s not all in your head.
Your body is simply asking for support. 💫

🌿 I help women 40+ balance their gut, hormones & energy so they can finally feel like themselves again.

“I used to sip milk at night to stop the burning…”

When Sarah came to me, she was exhausted - not from lack of sleep, but from chronic acid reflux that had taken over her evenings.

Her go-to resolution: a glass of milk before bed.

It helped for a few minutes… then the burning came back, worse than before.

👉 Here’s why:
The fat in milk can actually aggravate acid reflux.
It soothes temporarily but then stimulates more acid, creating a cycle of short-term relief and long-term discomfort.

💭 What was really happening?
Years of stress and hormonal shifts had slowed Karen’s digestion - food was sitting too long in her stomach, causing pressure that pushed acid upward.

🌿 How we fixed it:
✅ Ate slower, away from screens
✅ Supported digestion before meals
✅ Identified trigger foods through intolerance testing
✅ Balanced meals with protein, fibre + gut-friendly fats

Within 6 weeks - reflux gone.
No more sleepless nights. No more fear around food.

If you find yourself reaching for milk, Rennies, or cutting out everything just to cope - know this:
You don’t have to keep managing the symptoms.
You can fix the cause. 💚

Your gut is meant to work with you, not against you.

💬 Do you get reflux or that “burning in your chest” after meals?
What have you tried so far and did it actually help?

✨ Think it’s IBS? It could actually be a food intolerance.

You’re doing everything right... eating healthy, drinking water, cutting out the obvious triggers…

but the bloating, cramps, or unpredictable digestion just won’t quit. 😣

Here’s the thing 👉

IBS-type symptoms are often caused by hidden food intolerances - delayed reactions that don’t show up on standard tests.

So that “healthy” salad, smoothie, or protein bar might actually be the thing keeping your gut inflamed and your energy low.

When we uncover your specific food triggers, everything changes:

💫 No more bloating after meals
💫 No more constant discomfort or nausea
💫 No more guesswork - just clarity

If you’re ready to find out what’s really behind your symptoms, my Food Intolerance Test & Consultation can help you pinpoint your triggers and feel like yourself again. 🌿

👉 Message me “TEST” to get started.

I feel bloated after every meal

Does your partner say this?
Or maybe… you’re the one saying it.

It doesn’t matter if it’s your husband, wife, or you yourself that same line comes up again and again.

👉 “I feel bloated after every meal.”

And what usually happens next?
They complain… it passes… and life goes on.

No real changes.
No questions asked.
Because it goes away, right?

But here’s the thing: when something keeps coming back, it’s not random it’s your body trying to get your attention.

Bloating that shows up after meals isn’t just discomfort it’s often the first sign that your gut, hormones, or even stress response are out of sync.

And the longer it’s ignored, the more it chips away at energy, mood, and confidence.

So if that post-meal bloating has become normal in your house it’s time to change the conversation.

💬 Talk about it.
💬 Learn what your body’s trying to tell you.
💬 And stop normalising symptoms that aren’t normal.

Because feeling “a bit bloated” after every meal might be common but it’s definitely not normal.

This one test changed everything for me…

I used to wake up every day feeling off.

I was constantly bloated.

By 3pm, my energy would crash so hard

I sometimes worried I’d fall asleep at the wheel

Doctors told me everything looked “normal.”

But I knew it wasn’t normal to feel like this

Then I did one simple food intolerance test

Everything changed.

It showed me exactly which foods were inflaming my gut

And which were zapping my energy

Once I removed those triggers ...

I noticed:

✨ No more bloating

✨ Energy that lasted all day

✨ Clearer skin -my rashes disappeared

✨ A calmer, happier gut

✨ And surprisingly… I started to enjoy food again.

It wasn’t about restriction

It was about reconnection.

Learning what my body was asking for

Rebuilding trust with food.

If you’ve been living with unexplained symptoms...

It could be your body trying to tell you something.

💉 The test I use today with clients

The same one that changed everything for me

Measures 200+ food intolerances from a simple blood sample

No guesswork, just answers.

💌 Ready to finally find out what your body’s trying to tell you?

✨ Wondering why you’re not feeling like yourself lately? ✨

You’re not imagining it - your gut and brain are in constant conversation.
When one is out of balance, the other feels it too.

Your gut isn’t just about digestion - it’s a communication hub that sends chemical messages to your brain every second.

It's called the gut-brain axis, and it plays a major role in how you feel, think, and function day to day.

Here’s how it works 👇

🧠 95% of serotonin (your “happy” neurotransmitter) is produced in the gut

💥 Inflammation in the gut can trigger low mood, anxiety, and brain fog

🌿 Balanced gut bacteria support calmness, focus, and emotional stability

🍎 Nutrient absorption affects the vitamins and minerals your brain needs to thrive

So if your mood, energy, or motivation have felt off lately - the root cause might not be in your head… it might start in your gut!

Let’s change that!

Because when your gut feels better - you feel better!

When did you stop feeling like yourself?

Was it gradual?
One day you just noticed you were tired all the time?
When did enthusiasm become effort?
When did your clothes start fitting differently?
When did brain fog become your new normal?
When did you start making excuses in the bedroom?

You probably blamed work stress. Aging. “Life.”
But what if it wasn’t any of those?

✨ SAME GUT. DIFFERENT HORMONES. ✨
Let’s talk about how gut health affects both men and women - but in very different ways.

Because hormones may be different…
but the gut is where balance begins.

🩷 WOMEN:
When your gut is inflamed or imbalanced, your liver struggles to detox oestrogen efficiently.

👉 Cue: PMS, heavy periods, mood swings, bloating, and stubborn weight.

Perimenopause adds another layer -gut changes can amplify hot flashes, anxiety, and fatigue.

Supporting digestion, fibre intake, and microbiome diversity helps hormones flow rather than flare.

💙 MEN:
For men, gut imbalance can lower testosterone production.

👉 Cue: low motivation, belly fat, fatigue, and “brain fog.”

Certain gut bacteria even break down testosterone before it can be used.
A leaky gut increases cortisol, which further suppresses testosterone and energy levels.

When the gut is healthy, testosterone, focus, and drive return to normal -naturally.

⚖️ THE TAKEAWAY:
Different hormones.
Same root cause.
Your gut is the control centre - for balance, mood, and vitality.

Save this post if you or your partner have been feeling “off” lately - because it might not be hormones or stress.
It might start in the gut. 🧠🌿
