EveryBody Nutrition & Hypnotherapy

04/08/2026

Your gut has been tested, restricted, supplemented and eliminated — and it's still not behaving.

Here's what most IBS treatment misses: your gut has its own nervous system, and it's in constant conversation with your brain. When that connection gets dysregulated — from stress, trauma, or years of symptom cycling — no diet in the world can fully fix it.

Gut-directed hypnotherapy works directly on that gut-brain link. Calming the nervous system. Reducing the hypersensitivity that makes every meal feel like a gamble. Retraining how your brain signals your gut.

It's not alternative. It's clinically validated and has outperformed dietary intervention alone in research.

At Riverside, the difference is that you're working with someone who understands both sides — clinical nutrition AND hypnotherapy — so nothing falls through the cracks between your mind and your body.

If you've done everything and something still feels missing, this might be worth a conversation 👇

Does hypnotherapy actually help IBS?

Short answer: yes - and it's backed by more research than most people expect.

Gut-directed hypnotherapy isn't general relaxation or “just calming down.” It's a specific, clinically studied protocol that targets the gut-brain connection directly, and it shows symptom improvement in around 70-80% of people who try it, with results that tend to last for years, not just weeks.

Australia's own Monash University even ran a head-to-head trial comparing it to the low FODMAP diet, and it held up just as well for gut symptoms — with extra benefits for anxiety and quality of life.

If you've tried everything else for your IBS and nothing's fully worked, this might be the missing piece.

Yesterday I had a DEXA scan! And I dragged hubby along for one too. Yes this is us - I got photos.

I am super excited about having my results to use as a baseline now that I’m 45 and in early Peri.

I occasionally have sent clients to get a DEXA but it’s something I’m going to encourage more and more.

There are two groups of people I believe should strongly consider prioritising paying for a DEXA scan:

1. Women entering perimenopause and beyond
2. Anyone using GLP-1 medications/injections with rapid weight loss.

Why?

As women enter perimenopause, estrogen begins to decline — and with it can come accelerated changes in:
• decreasing bone density
• decreasing lean muscle mass
• decreased strength
• decreased metabolism

For those using GLP-1 injections- often times with appetite suppression we see a decreased nutritional intake, and while this achieves weight loss it can often include loss of valuable lean muscle mass AND bone mass. Not only is this very worrying for our later heads if will also guarantee a rebound weight gain!

Loss of bone mass can lead to osteoporosis and also cognitive decline as we get older.

Loss of muscle mass means less metabolically active and less strength and support around our joints.

A DEXA scan gives insight into:
• lean muscle mass
• body fat percentage
• visceral fat - the dangerous fat around our organs
• bone density
• changes in body composition over time

Because healthy ageing is not just about skincare or losing weight.

It’s about preserving muscle, bone, strength and metabolic health for the long term.

Lastly having this as a baseline, if we get our mindset right, we can use this as a powerful motivator to start making positive changes focusing on what really matters - not the number on the scale - but strength, visceral fat and mobility.

Feel free to ask me any questions or DM how I would
Use this to support my clients with health and healthy aging!

Just finished our 1st Group Hypnotherapy session and it was a beautiful empowering evening shared with some beautiful women.

Focusing on mindset, positivity, motivation for things like moving our bodies, nourishing our bodies…. And of course finding calm….

A focus on restoring mind- body connection.

I have 1 more place left to join next week.

Something I've been quietly working on is almost ready... and I'd love your input.

I'm launching monthly women's circle incorporating hypnotherapy here in the Penrith area, and I want to make sure I create something that truly serves the women in our community.

I know that right now life is feeling stretched for so many of us, whether that be financially, emotionally, all of it. And yet this is often exactly the time we need support the most.

These sessions will be warm, intimate and genuinely affordable for all. A beautiful way to experience the powerful, lasting change that hypnotherapy makes possible and also to build connections with like-minded women.

I realise that some women feel curious about hypnotherapy but hesitant... not quite sure what to expect... this is an opportunity to gently dip your toe in, or perhaps you've worked with me before and want an accessible way to keep going — this is for you.

Before I finalise the details, I would love to hear from women in our community..

Please drop a comment below or PM me, and tell me - what would feel most supportive to you right now? Would it be support for anxiety, stress, weight loss and health, confidence, sleep, or something else entirely - I want to hear what's actually going on for you.

If you were to come to an affordable group hypnotherapy session once a month, what area would you love help with the most right now?

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) isn’t just a “mystery tummy issue” anymore.

It’s now recognised as a real condition with identifiable mechanisms. There are 4 main pillars that can drive symptoms: genetics, gut-bacteria imbalances, stress (gut-brain connection) and food reactivity.

In this blog, I break down what that means in simple terms — and how understanding these pillars can guide the path to healing.

LUNCH IDEA. I saw this on an Insta reel somewhere and though perfect for my clients starting phase 3 in Metabolic Balance when starting to combine proteins...

ALSO perfect for everyone else who wants to start eating in an Anti-Inflammatory whole foods way (aka high in Omega 3's, olive oil, vegetables, fibre).

ALSO a perfect way to make Sardines more delicious for those who don't love them ...

and ALSO - pretty economical and easy as sardines are in the pantry, so are olives and S/D tomatoes. Use whatever salad you have handy.

Sardines x 1 - 1.5 tins
Yoghurt plain - enough to cover like a sauce.
Olives sliced - a handful
Sun Dried Tomatos chopped - a handful
Baby spinach
Grated carrot

Mix together.

If you love Sun Dried Tomatoes - you will now love eating Sardines! If you're not sure, try it and see. So good.
