My latest blog is my personal story.

I've been living with chronic sinusitis since March 2025. It has had a really bad effect on my quality of life, as anyone who has had this or suffering this. Let me explain.

I've experienced difficulty breathing through my nose, waking with an insanely dry mouth and throat, post nasal drip that causes coughing, and constant throat-clearing every morning.

I’ve had standard GP allergy blood tests for grass, mould, pollen and dust, blood tests to rule out certain cancers, an X-ray of my lungs, a CT scan of my sinuses, and an endoscope passed up my nose by an ENT.

Whilst it is reassuring to know that there are no allergies, no polyps, and nothing sinister, the ongoing problem still remains unanswered by the GP and the ENT.

The worst part about all this is, and how it has affected my life so much, is that it has caused sleep apnoea. This means that I have had chronically disturbed sleep for nearly 18 months at the time of writing this.

Knowing what I know about disturbed sleep, this places me at a far higher risk of having a stroke, or developing cardiovascular disease. And having a young child makes this part very worrying.

Being in perimenopause, I asked the GP at the time if it could possibly be linked. He emphatically denied it. I knew he was wrong, because I had already noticed the severity of nose stuffiness fluctuating with each passing month, and during the month.

But after leaving no stone unturned in my own investigations, I realised how wrong he was.

You know you're in perimenopause when...

Your brain fog has become really embarrassing – you can’t even remember the basic names for things during conversations, even when you can see them in your head! They Just.
Don’t.
Come.
Out.

You get really overwhelmed by things that once felt manageable, which then makes you anxious because you’ve realised that you’re not coping with everyday things anymore.

The perimenopause weight gain around your middle just won’t shift, whatever you try – more exercise, juice cleanses, 7-day detoxes, everything ChatGPT suggested. Your body just doesn’t respond like it used to.

You’ve been waking in the early hours, sometimes covered in sweat, other times you just cannot go back to sleep.

Your cycle has become very unpredictable, very heavy, and very annoying – you’ve ruined your favourite pair of jeans twice in the last three months.

I'm Julia from Tree of Health.

I support women in perimenopause to get their energy back, clear the brain fog, and get their body responding again, using herbal medicine, a personalised Metabolic Balance nutrition plan, and Buteyko breathing techniques.

Is AI becoming the new Dr Google - and should we be worried?

I have been thinking about this a lot lately, both as a naturopathic herbalist and as a woman in perimenopause who has spent some time this year researching her own symptoms (more on that in a later post!).

AI is genuinely useful. I use it myself for research. But there is a gap between what it can do and what most people think it can do - and in health, that gap has consequences.

The one that concerns me most professionally is people using AI to decide which herbs to take. Herbs are pharmacologically active. They interact with medications. Research has documented herb-drug interactions.

AI does not know your medication list, your full history, or which herb is right for your specific picture.

I have written a full blog post on this - what AI does well, where it genuinely falls short, and why seeing a qualified practitioner is not just a nice-to-have.

Would love to know your thoughts - are you seeing this in your own circles? Patients, friends, family turning to AI before seeking proper advice?

Meet Crunky.

He's the reason I've been so quiet around here this week!

Doing everything right and still not feeling like yourself?

If the stubborn weight, the flat energy, the sleep that's gone patchy are showing up despite eating well and moving your body, that's not a willpower problem.

It's hormonal. And it's exactly what my 3-Month Metabolic Reset program is built to address.

Right now, if you and a friend enrol in this program, you'll each save $500.

Book your Clarity Call together, once you both enrol, that saving's locked in on the call.

The program finishes by early December too, so you're not trying to start a reset in the middle of the holidays or in January when summer is in its peak.

And don't worry about putting the weight back on at Christmas silly season - your personalised nutrition plan is something you can go back to for life.

Having said that, those who have done Metabolic Balance know how to navigate the silly season - because keeping the weight off is more than just sticking to a good diet.

The offer ends on 13 October - this is realistically the last time to start a 3 month reset so that you are in a good position to enjoy yourself at Christmas and still keep the weight off by the new year.

More info on the website and links in bio.

Every spring, without fail, clients start asking me about 'detoxing' before summer.

Here's the thing:

Most people picture juice cleanses or a lengthy fast, or a week of calorie restriction.

That's not what I mean, and it's not what the first two days of the Tree of Health 3-Month Metabolic Reset are built on either.

Whilst the first two days are classed as a detox phase, they aren't about switching any detoxification systems 'on', or reducing your food intake, or any of the quick fixes you read about on click bait.

They're about giving your body better raw materials to work with, and preparing your body for the next phases of the metabolic reset.

For a full explanation, read the blog - link in bio.

My Spring Reset blog just went live.

All about why the first two days of my 3-Month Metabolic Reset are officially classed as a detox phase.

Why that isn't juice cleansing, only drinking water, or any of the usual quick fixes you read about. Full read's on the blog, link in bio.

And whilst you're there, I've also just added a new page called 'Leaves'.

It's where my ebooks live - currently only have two, Body Signs, and a guide to lowering insulin for easier weight loss. Pop your email in and they're your leaves to keep. ;)
