Sometimes it’s not about throwing another supplement at your symptoms. It’s about choosing support that actually matches what your body needs.

This little herbal line-up caught my eye because each remedy has such a different role.

🌻Cramp Bark for period cramps and discomfort.

🌻Celery Seed for urinary tract support.

🌻Ginger for that warm, settled tummy feeling.

🌻She Oak for emotional balance through the female seasons.

🌻White Chestnut for those moments when your brain simply will not stop replaying worrying thoughts and chitter chatter.

This is one of the things I love about naturopathy (and clinical nutrition). I don’t just look at a symptom in isolation. I look at the person experiencing it, what else is happening in their body, their diet, stress, hormones, digestion, sleep and the bigger picture.

And with my naturopathy studies almost complete, I’m very excited to be bringing even more of this into Perth Nutrition & Natural Health Clinic in 2027.

Nutrition + herbal medicine + individualised care, all in one place.

Want to know what naturopathic care could look like for you?

☀️ Your morning espresso has nothing on a 5 minute date with the sun.

Before you open your laptop or check your phone, try getting outside as soon as you wake. Just 5 - 10 minutes of early morning sunlight is the ultimate circadian rhythm hack. Its a literal reset button for your body's master clock.

Think of it as setting a biological timer.

When natural light hits your eyes first thing in the morning, it triggers a chain reaction in your brain that dictates how you feel all day and night:

The Cortisol Reset: It prompts a healthy morning cortisol spike, giving you natural alertness and training your nervous system to handle stress better later in the day.

The Sleep Countdown: This exact moment sets a 14-to-16-hour countdown for your brain to release melatonin, making it easier to fall asleep tonight.

The Mood Boost: It signals your body to produce serotonin, the hormone responsible for keeping you calm, focused, and emotionally resilient.

The Hack: Skip the sunglasses for just 10 minutes, step outside right after waking up, and let your body do the rest.

Your mood, energy, and sleep will thank you.

What if your daily cup could do more than simply give you a caffeine boost?

Herbal teas can be a beautiful, nourishing alternative to coffee, helping you increase your fluid intake while naturally incorporating beneficial plant compounds into your day.

🌿 Green tea: Naturally rich in polyphenols and antioxidants, making it a wonderful option when you still enjoy a gentle source of caffeine.

🌱 Dandelion root: A naturally caffeine-free option with a rich, roasted flavour that can make a satisfying coffee alternative. Traditionally used to support healthy digestive and liver function.

🌼 Passionflower & lemon balm: Gentle herbs traditionally used to support relaxation and a calmer nervous system, making them beautiful choices for an evening ritual.

And there’s something special about the ritual itself. Taking a few minutes to prepare, breathe in the aroma and slowly enjoy a warm cup can become a simple moment of calm in an otherwise busy day.

💧 More fluids.
🌿 More plant compounds.
☕ Less reliance on caffeine.
🧘‍♀️ A moment to slow down.

Herbal tea isn't just a drink. It can be a simple daily ritual that supports how you feel, nourish and care for yourself.

The herbs you choose and the appropriate amount depend on your individual health needs, medications and circumstances. “Therapeutic dose” is best determined with guidance from a qualified practitioner.

Could your gut be influencing your acne?

If you've been trying every skincare product without lasting results, it might be time to look beneath the surface.

Your skin doesn't exist in isolation. The gut-skin axis describes the powerful two-way connection between your digestive system and your skin.

When your gut microbiome is balanced, it produces beneficial compounds that help regulate inflammation and support a healthy skin barrier.

But when the gut becomes disrupted and leaky (known as dysbiosis and intestinal permeability or leaky gut), inflammatory signals and harmful bacteria can contribute to acne and other skin concerns.

In my latest blog, I cover:
• What the gut-skin axis actually is
• How your gut microbiome influences inflammation
• What "leaky gut" means (and why it's talked about so much)
• Common lifestyle factors that can disrupt gut health
• Why supporting your gut may be an important piece of your acne journey

If you're tired of simply treating the symptoms and want to understand the root causes of your acne, this is for you.

📖 Read the full blog: https://shorturl.at/tVhar

Looking for personalised support?

I'm currently offering student naturopath consultations for $30 at in Perth. Together, we'll explore the underlying factors contributing to your acne and create a personalised, natural health plan tailored to you.

Send me a DM and take the first step towards healthier skin from the inside out.

Her bloating, fatigue and food reactions finally made sense when we saw this.

She came in bloated, reactive to foods, and exhausted after eating. Nothing she tried was working and nobody had been able to explain why.

Her Microbiomix gut microbiome analysis told a very clear story.

❌Reduced beneficial bacteria across multiple strains, leaving her gut without the microbial diversity needed to support digestion, immunity, or hormone balance.
❌Elevated zonulin, a key marker of intestinal permeability or leaky gut. When zonulin is high, the gut lining becomes compromised, allowing food particles, bacteria, and toxins to pass into the bloodstream and trigger systemic inflammation.
❌Positive transglutaminase enzyme alongside the elevated zonulin, suggesting an active immune reaction to gluten that was driving ongoing gut lining damage.
❌Dysbiosis, with opportunistic bacteria outcompeting her beneficial strains and adding to her symptom load.

This explained everything. The bloating, the food reactions, the fatigue, the brain fog. None of it was random.

Her treatment plan focused on four things:
✅Healing the gut lining using glutamine, zinc carnosine, and quercetin to repair and stabilise the mucosa and support tight junction integrity.
✅Reducing inflammation with turmeric and quercetin to lower the inflammatory load while the lining healed.
✅Soothing and protecting the gut wall with marshmallow root to coat and shield the mucosa during the healing process.
✅Rebuilding her microbiome using resistant fibre rich foods including slightly underripe banana, cooked and cooled potato, oats, and legumes to feed and repopulate her beneficial bacteria.
✅Gluten removed completely while healing happens.

This is what a root cause approach to gut health actually looks like.
If your digestion has never been properly investigated and you are still not getting answers, this is where to start.

Here's what clinical nutrition actually looks at (using hormones as an example). What you eat is either supporting your hormones or working against them.

The phrase "food is medicine" gets thrown around a lot. But as a clinical nutritionist, I want to show you what that actually means in practice, because it goes so much deeper than eating your vegetables and getting enough fibre.

🍀 Your gut produces and metabolises oestrogen via the estrobolome and liver detoxification.
🍀 Your liver detoxifies excess hormones and toxins which requires B6, Magnesium, Glycine, Cysteine, Taurine, Glutathione and many other nutrients to perform this function.
🍀 Your thyroid needs specific micronutrients such as iron, iodine and tyrosine to produce and convert inactive T4 into active T3.
🍀 Your adrenal glands burn through B vitamins, magnesium and vitamin C under chronic stress.
🍀 Your mitochondria (the energy factories in every cell) are entirely dependent on B vitamins, L-carnitine and iron (plus more) to produce energy.

This is why two women with the same diagnosis can have completely different nutritional needs. And why a generic meal plan from the internet will never work as well as a plan built around your specific bloodwork, symptoms, and health history.

Clinical nutrition isn't just about calorie restriction or perfection like the gymfluencers want you to think. It's about giving your body the raw materials it needs to do what it's designed to do.

Your food choices are the most powerful daily intervention you have access to. Let's use them properly.

Let me clear something up. Because the misconceptions around naturopathy are real and they stop a lot of women from getting the help they actually need.

A naturopathic consultation in Australia is a comprehensive clinical appointment. Here's what I actually do as a clinical naturopath (student) and accredited clinical nutritionist:
🌱I take your full case history:
Not just "what's bothering you today" or "you just need eat less" or "take these antacids to stop your reflux" I want to know your full timeline: childhood illnesses, family history, surgeries, medications, stress load, sleep, bowel habits, menstrual history, diet, and everything in between. Because nothing in your body happens in isolation.

🌱I look for root causes, not just symptoms. I check your blood pressure, assess your nails and look at your tongue to understand what may be driving your symptoms.
Your bloating, fatigue, anxiety, hair loss, and irregular periods are not separate problems. They are usually different expressions of the same underlying dysfunction and that's what I am trained to find.

🌱I use evidence-based natural therapies:
Herbal medicine, clinical nutrition, lifestyle medicine, iridology, bach flower remedies and functional testing. These are all grounded in current research and tailored to you as an individual.

🌱I work alongside your GP, not instead of them and not to discredit them.
Natural medicine is complementary. The goal is always better health outcomes for you, and that often means being part of a broader healthcare team.

This is what is about. Showing Australians what's available to them beyond a 10-minute GP appointment.

It's Natural Medicine Week 2026 and I'm spending every day this week showing you what natural medicine actually looks like.

I'm currently completing my Bachelor of Health Science in naturopathic medicine and working as a clinical nutritionist in Perth. And the more I learn, the more I understand why so many women are still searching for answers after years of being told everything is fine.

Natural medicine isn't anti-science. It isn't anti-doctors. It's a whole-person approach that asks why your body is doing what it's doing, not just what drug will quiet the symptom.

This week I'll be sharing:
🌿What naturopathy and nutrition actually look like in clinical practice
🌿The gap in conventional healthcare that natural medicine fills
🌿The functional testing that gives us answers standard bloods don't
🌿Why your hormones, gut, and thyroid are all connected
🌿And how to know if working with a naturopath or nutritionist is right for you

Save this post and follow along all week.

Natural Medicine Week is proudly supported by the Australian Traditional Medicine Society (ATMS) and runs 25–31 May 2026.

PCOS renamed polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome. Here is what that actually means.

On 12 May 2026, The Lancet announced that polycystic ovarian syndrome is now polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome, or PMOS. The change followed 14 years of global collaboration, more than 22,000 survey responses from women and health professionals worldwide, and input from 56 leading organisations.

The reason this matters is not just the name. It is what the old name got wrong for decades.

The term polycystic implied that cysts on the ovaries were the defining feature of the condition.

But they were never cysts.

What appeared on ultrasound were arrested follicles, immature eggs that stalled in development because the hormonal environment was not right for them to mature.

They were not abnormal growths. They were a signal that something deeper was happening hormonally.
And that misunderstanding had real consequences. Up to 70% of women with the condition went undiagnosed. The average time to diagnosis was up to 12 years.

Women were told they did not have the condition because they did not have visible follicles on ultrasound, even when their symptoms were clear.
The new name reflects what this condition actually is: a complex, whole body hormonal and metabolic condition.

Polyendocrine means multiple hormonal systems are involved.
Metabolic means blood sugar and insulin are central.
Ovarian means the ovaries are affected, but they are not the starting point.

Comment PMOS below and I will send you a free guide that explains the difference in detail, what is happening in your body and some nutrition, lifestyle and supplements recommends you can get started with.

Bloating, brain fog, food sensitivities, skin issues, fatigue. These are not separate problems. They can all trace back to one root cause: a leaky gut.

Leaky gut, or intestinal hyperpermeability, occurs when the tight junctions in your gut lining loosen, allowing bacteria, toxins, and undigested food particles to pass into the bloodstream and trigger systemic inflammation.

The good news: it is testable and it is treatable.

I test for leaky gut using the GI Map stool test, which measures Zonulin, the protein that directly controls gut barrier permeability. An elevated result tells us the barrier is compromised and gives us a clear starting point for your protocol.

The protocol includes: Removing gluten and identifying food sensitivities Repairing the gut lining with L-Glutamine, zinc carnosine, butyrate, and targeted probiotics Addressing dysbiosis with personalised antimicrobial and prebiotic support Managing stress, sleep, and lifestyle factors that drive permeability

If you suspect leaky gut is behind your symptoms, the first step is testing. Book an initial consultation via the link in my bio to get a GI Map referral and a personalised plan built around your results.
