The scariest part wasn’t the flashes or floaters. It was not knowing if my vision was about to get worse.

This experience reminded me of something important:

Never brush off a sudden change in your body just because you think you know what caused it.

Stress, illness and inflammation can all make you feel completely different, but symptoms involving your eyesight are something I would always get professionally checked first.

Once I knew there was no obvious retinal issue, I could focus on recovery, lowering my stress and supporting my overall health without the constant fear of “what if?”

Sometimes peace of mind is part of the healing process too. 🤍

And if you suddenly experience flashes, new floaters, shadows or loss of vision, please get it checked urgently rather than trying to treat it yourself.

If a hysterectomy has been put on the table for your heavy bleeding, here is what I’d want you to know before you decide anything.

A hysterectomy can stop the bleeding, and for some women it genuinely is the right call.

What it does not do is change what was causing the bleeding in the first place.

The hormone signalling, the inflammation, the oxidative stress sitting underneath. The surgery and the root cause work were never an either or. They sit alongside each other.

So the question worth asking before you consent is not only “will this stop the bleeding.”

It is “has anyone actually looked at why this is happening?” Was your estrogen clearance ever checked? Your inflammation? Your thyroid?

Heavy bleeding has root causes, and most women are offered the surgery long before anyone investigates them.

Whatever you decide about the operation, those drivers are worth understanding and supporting.

Every supplement I rated in this video works on the same part of the picture. They help your body process oestrogen through the liver.

But a ratings list can’t tell you estrogen clearance is a two part system.

Once your liver processes oestrogen, it does not leave your body yet. It gets packaged up and sent to your bowel to carry out. If your bowel is slow, or you have too much of a gut enzyme called beta-glucuronidase, that package gets unwrapped and the oestrogen goes straight back into your bloodstream.

So you can take every supplement in this video, do everything right, and still be recirculating the oestrogen you are working to clear.

In thirty years of clinic, the women who stall are almost always the ones nobody thought to ask about their bowels. A daily bowel motion is not a bonus here. It is the exit door.

The supplements matter. The exit just has to be open for them to count.

What’s in a naturopath’s travel kit? ✈️🌿

After 33 years in clinical practice, I definitely don’t travel without a few of my favourite supplements 🌿

From S. boulardii for tummy troubles, activated charcoal for those food poisoning moments, liposomal vitamin C for defences against cold, flu’s & viruses, to nattokinase, magnesium & omega 3 for long-haul flight circulatory support — my little natural travel pharmacy comes everywhere with me. 💚

Because holidays are far more fun when your gut is happy, your immune system is supported and you arrive feeling your best ❤️ 🌴 🌞

Bali is incredible… but your gut and immune system might have other plans. 🌴😂

These are the 3 supplements I always pack when I’m heading over:

Saccharomyces boulardii for gut support while travelling
Liposomal Vitamin C for extra nutritional and immune support
Glutathione or NAC to support the body’s natural antioxidant and detoxification pathways

Different food, water, sleep, pollution and travel stress can all put extra pressure on your body, so I’d rather arrive prepared than spend half the holiday feeling terrible.

Save this for your Bali packing list. ✈️🌺

Always check whether supplements are appropriate for you, particularly if you take medication or have a medical condition.

everything right with PCOS and your body still isn’t listening, here’s a piece most people skip.

It’s not just which protein powder you buy. It’s two things almost no one talks about.

First, when you eat it. Most of us have our lowest-protein meal first thing, usually something quick and carb-heavy, and that sets the tone for your blood sugar all day. Putting real protein at the front of your morning is one of the simplest shifts you can make, and you’ll usually feel it in your afternoon energy.

Second, what’s actually in the tub. The back of the tub tells you more than the front, so flip it over and read the label. If you see added sugars, a long list of gums, seed oils, or ‘natural flavours’ near the top, it’s probably not the one. A clean powder is usually short. The protein source, maybe a digestive enzyme, and not much else.

Save this for your next shop so you know what to look for.

And tell me below: what are the first three ingredients on the back of your tub right now? Let’s see what you’re actually working with.

When this client first came to me with Crohn’s, his gut was controlling so much of his life.

He had been dealing with ongoing digestive symptoms and was desperate to understand why his body wasn’t getting better.

Rather than looking at Crohn’s as just another symptom to suppress, we started looking at the bigger picture.

His gut health.
His nutrition.
What was driving inflammation.
What his body might have been lacking.
And what could be supported alongside his existing medical care.

Over time, the change in his health was incredible.

Stories like this are why I’ve always believed we need to look at the whole person, not just the diagnosis written on a piece of paper.

Because sometimes there are pieces of the puzzle that simply haven’t been looked at yet.

If you’re struggling with Crohn’s or chronic gut issues, don’t give up on understanding your body. 🤍

First it was one food.

Then another.

Then histamine.

Then suddenly your list of “safe foods” seems to be getting smaller and smaller.

And before long, eating becomes something you’re constantly thinking about.

This is why simply removing another food every time you react may not answer the bigger question:

Why are you becoming so reactive in the first place?

The video discusses factors such as changes to the gut microbiome, intestinal permeability, chronic stress and poor sleep as areas that may be worth investigating.

Food restriction can sometimes be necessary, but endlessly removing foods without understanding what’s driving your symptoms can leave you feeling stuck.

The goal shouldn’t just be a longer “do not eat” list.

It should be understanding your body better.

Send this to someone who feels like they’re suddenly reacting to everything. 🤍

If you eat well all day… then suddenly feel like you *need* something sweet at night, it’s not just a lack of willpower.

Stress can change the way your brain responds to food, making sugary, high reward foods feel much harder to resist.

And the more exhausted, overwhelmed or under recovered you are, the stronger that pull can feel.

Sometimes the craving is just the symptom.

Save this for the next time the 8pm sugar cravings hit. 🤍
