Interesting!

Ideally, healthy food stops cancer long before it starts. That’s exactly what seems to do for cervical . In a study from Brazil, women eating this fruit just once weekly had an incredible 81% less risk of precancerous cervical lesions known as CIN (cervical intraepithelial neoplasia). This might be due to papaya’s cancer-fighting carotenoids: beta-carotene, beta-cryptoxanthin and lycopene. In a separate study, carotenoids were linked to 62% less cervical cancer risk. But papaya’s carotenoids are special. They’re packaged as nano-sized crystals which absorb up to 3-fold better than from other foods. So consider adding more of this delicious fruit to your regular healthy diet. Sources: Pubmed IDs 20691333, 8348056, 23931131

Have you ever followed a diet that worked for someone else, only to feel like it did nothing for you?

You are not the problem.

Generic diets often assume that everyone’s body responds the same way. But your body is shaped by your health history, blood values, metabolism, lifestyle, food preferences, and individual needs.

So it makes sense that your nutrition plan should be personal too.

With Metabolic Balance®, you receive clear food choices and a structured way of eating designed around what your body needs.

What do you do to support your health that also brings you joy? 💜

For me, it’s daily beach walks with my two furry companions, Nala and Zorro. 🐾

As a naturopath, I believe health is about more than food and supplements. It’s also about making time for the things that help us feel good.

My beach walks combine movement, fresh air, sunshine, connection with nature and time to switch off from a busy day. Walking barefoot on the sand (grounding) may help reduce stress, while the ocean’s negative ions have been linked to improved mood and wellbeing.

And let’s not forget the health benefits of dogs! Studies show dog owners tend to be more active, and Nala and Zorro certainly make sure I get outside every day.

Sometimes the best health habits are the ones you genuinely enjoy and look forward to.

I’d love to know… what do you do for your health that also brings you joy? 👇

I love this illustration of me and what I do. It captured me surprisingly well! 💜

From my love of nature, beach walks, butterflies and herbal medicine, through to my passion for helping women improve their health naturally, it reflects both who I am and the work I love doing every day.

As a Naturopath and Metabolic Balance Coach, I help women 40+ improve their health, balance hormones, reduce inflammation, increase energy and shift stubborn weight through Metabolic Balance Personalised Nutrition.

Many women come to me feeling tired, frustrated and no longer like themselves. The goal isn’t perfection. It’s helping you understand what your body needs so you can feel healthier, more energised, confident and like yourself again.

I think the illustrator even captured my love of a good cup of tea and a walk by the beach! 😊

What would an illustrator include if they created a sketchbook page about you?

Did you know… menopause is a whole body experience?

We have oestrogen receptors all throughout the body — including the brain, gut, heart, bones, skin and bladder. No wonder some women find this transition such a challenge.

Interestingly, many of the most significant symptoms often occur in the 2 years leading up to menopause and the first year after the final period.

I see many women experiencing peri/menopause symptoms who simply want to feel like themselves again. The good news is there is actually a lot we can do to support women through this transition naturally and holistically.

I always try to keep up with the latest research and practitioner education, and last night I had the pleasure of learning more about menopause and the gut microbiome with the lovely Rebecca from Activated Probiotics.

New supplements including soy isoflavones combined with targeted probiotic support are also showing very promising results in studies for helping support symptoms including hot flushes, night sweats, mood, sleep and bone health.

So what actually happens in a naturopathic consult for fatigue? 🌿

Many women come to me feeling exhausted, foggy, overwhelmed and frustrated because they’ve been told everything is “normal” — yet they still feel flat every afternoon.

This is where a holistic naturopathic approach can help.

I take the time to truly listen to your health history, current concerns and what you would like to improve because symptoms rarely happen in isolation.

Your consult may include:
✨ Discussion around energy, sleep, stress, hormones and digestion
✨ Iridology observations
✨ Tongue and nail observations
✨ Review of eating patterns and lifestyle
✨ Pathology or functional testing where required
✨ A personalised care plan moving forward

Fatigue can sometimes be linked to:
• Nutritional deficiencies
• Thyroid imbalances
• Stress and nervous system overload
• Hormonal changes
• Gut health issues
• Blood sugar imbalance
• Burnout from constantly pushing through

I learnt the hard way myself not to ignore these signs 🙌

Our bodies are incredibly intelligent and symptoms are often messages asking us to slow down, nourish ourselves and support what’s really going on underneath.

And it’s such a joy seeing women start feeling energised, clearer and more like themselves again ✨

If you’ve been struggling with ongoing fatigue and would like support, I offer a free clarity call to chat about what may be going on for you and how I may be able to help 🌿
