Zinc boosts immune function and fights inflammation. It’s essential for keeping the immune system strong by ensuring the normal development and function of the cells that control the immune response. Zinc deficiency results in an increased susceptibility to viruses and infections.

Multiple studies have shown zinc supplementation to be beneficial for viral infections, common cold, influenza, pneumonia and inflammation.

A review of seven studies showed that zinc lozenges may reduce the duration of the common cold by up to 33%. Other studies show that zinc supplementation in older adults reduced the frequency of infections.

Your va**nal microbiome is the unique community of bacteria that lives in the va**nal environment. When these microbes are balanced, they help maintain a healthy pH, protect against infection, and support reproductive health.

Vaginal microbiome mapping is an advanced test that identifies the specific bacteria and microorganisms present in the va**na.

Rather than guessing the cause of symptoms, it provides a detailed picture of what’s actually happening in the microbiome.

This can be especially helpful for people experiencing:
• Recurrent thrush
• Bacterial vaginosis (BV)
• Persistent va**nal symptoms
• Fertility challenges or recurrent miscarriage

By understanding which microbes are present (and which beneficial ones may be lacking), practitioners can create more targeted treatment plans - such as specific probiotics, antimicrobials, or lifestyle strategies to help restore balance.

The goal isn’t just symptom relief but supporting a healthier va**nal environment that protects long-term reproductive and va**nal health.

Cortisol is the body’s primary stress hormone and is important for regulating blood sugar levels, sleep-wake cycles, inflammation and blood pressure. When we are stressed or experience shock or danger, our adrenal glands release cortisol and other stress hormones.

Cortisol increases sugar (glucose) in the bloodstream to help us survive and react to the stress. It also alters immune function and suppresses digestive function to allow us to quickly respond to the stress.

Curb late-night snacking by ensuring you are eating enough during the day.

Night-time hunger or sugar cravings are nearly always a result of inadequate protein intake.⁠ ⁠ If you are getting the after-dinner munchies try a cinnamon or liquorice tea or change up your routine by going for a walk after dinner instead of watching TV. ⁠ ⁠

A protein ‘ice-cream’ after dinner also works a treat. Simply blend frozen berries (or frozen banana and raw cacao) with protein powder and a splash of milk (your choice of milk). Don’t add too much milk or you won’t get the ‘ice-cream’ consistency.

Absolutely!

Studies have shown that just before ovulation your creativity, organisational skills, lateral thinking and productivity are at their best. So for women with a regular 28 day cycle, this productive peak is probably around days 10-14.

Before your period is often a more melancholy time, so consider saving your critiques for when your mood is a bit more ‘up’ so you can handle potential negative feedback more easily.

If you can understand your body and your hormones, you can work your schedule in such a way to optimise your talents according to your cycle.

I should note though that studies have shown women who take the Pill had no patterns of increased creativity throughout their cycle.

These mean different things to different women. If you are in your reproductive years, low oestrogen is often associated with excessive exercise, low-carb diets, restrictive eating, vegan diets or high stress. The underlying cause needs to be identified and addressed.

In menopausal women, there is a natural decline in oestrogen which can be supported with herbal and nutritional supplementation in addition to lifestyle modification.
