With our current health care system bulging at the seams, prevention should be the number one focus so we don't have to be another statistic

Recent client successes:
1. Less pain in her joints.
2. Blood pressure back into the normal range within weeks and needing to lower medication.
3. Weight loss even though they are eating more.
4. Less gut distress and better regular bowel motions that had stopped her social life at short notice.

Celebrating a client who's blood pressure has come down into the normal range in our first week of implementing their plan. Their next journey is to touch base with their GP about reducing their medication.

As a naturopath and pharmacist, I work alongside your medical practitioner to ensure that you get the best quality of care when you work with me. Unfortunately, I cannot reduce clients medication without the support of the client's medical practitioner, but it's important to me to ensure you are not alone in improving your health.

When we work together, I want to give you the skills to have life long improvements that improve your health trajectory. Here, we are talking about moving from dis-ease to improved symptom relief and then into optimal wellbeing so that you don't end up back in the same situation.

Happy Diwali.

Diwali, the festival of lights, is an Indian and a Hindu festival to welcome the Indian New Year.

The celebration varies depending on which part of India people come from. Different deities are revered each day as the festival progresses honoring wealth and prosperity, triumph over evil, and family.

Like many of our traditions all around the world, there is a rich story behind Diwali. The festival honours Lord Ram and symbolises the victory of light over darkness, good over evil and new beginnings. Lord Ram was sent into exile by his wicked stepmother who wanted her own son to become the king. Exiled with his wife Sita and his brother for 14 years, Sita was kidnapped the demon, Ravane, who took her to his palace on an island. Lord Ram went searching for Sita and fought and killed the demon. They returned home and Lord Ram became king - He was
renowned as a very good and peaceful king.

As part of the lead up to Diwali, a full on spring cleaning of the house is done in preparation. Part of the celebration involves the sharing of sweets.

💔 “A Day in the Life of a Woman with High Blood Pressure”

Meet Sara, 52.
She used to start her mornings with energy — a walk, a coffee, a smile.
Now, she wakes up feeling… off.

Her head throbs slightly before she even gets out of bed. She blames it on stress, but deep down, she knows something’s not right.

At work, the meetings blur together. She feels foggy, like her brain’s moving through molasses. She used to thrive on multitasking — now even small things feel overwhelming. She catches herself snapping at colleagues, then feels guilty for being so short-tempered.

By 3 p.m., her heart is racing again. She tells herself it’s “just the afternoon slump,” but her smartwatch says otherwise. High blood pressure. Again.

She skips her walk after work — too tired. Dinner is rushed, and by the time she sits down with her family, she’s irritable and distant. Her husband notices. Her teenage daughter asks, “Mum, are you okay?”
She forces a smile, but inside she worries — Is this my new normal?

Later that night, she lies awake.
She’s scared — not just of what the doctor might say, but of missing the moments that matter most.
The family dinners. The laughter. The life she’s worked so hard to build.

For me, sleep was the major game changer, along with helping to balance my mood. For my clients, being able to reduce the need for medication for blood pressure and high cholesterol along with increased energy all day.

Hormonal changes in menopause, particularly the decline in oestrogen and progesterone, affect much more than periods.

These shifts can:

👉Disrupt sleep
👉Increase hot flushes
👉Alter cortisol (our stress hormone) rhythms
👉Impact how your body regulates blood sugar

Together, they can leave you feeling fatigued, foggy, and out of balance.

The nutrients you eat provide the raw materials your body needs to:

✅ Stabilise hormones
✅ Support brain chemistry
✅ Improve energy regulation

Contact a Metabolic Balance practitioner near you to see how personalised nutrition could support you.

What would life look like if you had the tools that could help you to prevent disease? Have more energy?

As a pharmacist, I often have clients frustrated that they have to take medication to help reduce cholesterol or lower high blood pressure, but what if you learnt skills to navigate diet and lifestyle to help to this naturally?

Message "PREVENT" to me if you would like to learn more.

If we had this sort of screening, our health system here in NZ would benefit. This is why I am working on a prevention protocol to help before strokes or heat attacks occur. Prevention is powerful
