What if bloating, cravings, brain fog, and stubborn weight shifts after 40 weren’t just “hormones”??👇

During perimenopause, your gut microbiome can shift too, and those changes may influence how you digest food, metabolize estrogen, regulate blood sugar, and manage inflammation.

We created this delicious recipe with gut support in mind:

✨Supports the gut changes that can happen after 40:

During perimenopause, shifts in estrogen, stress hormones, sleep, & blood sugar can all influence the gut microbiome. Leeks, garlic, sweet potatoes, and arugula provide prebiotic fibers that help nourish beneficial gut bacteria and support a more diverse microbiome.

✨Helps your gut create helpful compounds:

Turkey tail, lion’s mane, and cordyceps contain beta-glucans and polysaccharides that gut bacteria can ferment into short-chain fatty acids, which support the gut lining, immune balance, and metabolic health.

✨Gives your gut polyphenols to work with:

Sweet potatoes, thyme, arugula, garlic, and lemon contain polyphenols, which interact with gut microbes and may support beneficial bacteria involved in fiber breakdown, including Bacteroidetes/Bacteroidota.

✨Supports steadier energy and cravings:

The fiber, healthy fats, and plant compounds in this soup help slow digestion, support blood sugar balance, and encourage better appetite signalling.👌

Ingredients:

3 Sweet Potatoes
2 large leeks, sliced & rinsed well
3 cups vegetable broth
1 can light coconut milk
1 garlic bulb
1 tsp dried thyme
2 tbsp avocado oil
1/2 tsp sea salt
1 1/2 tsp 3 Mushroom Blend by
1 lemon, juice + zest
2 cups arugula
2 tbsp h**p seeds

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400°F.

Add sweet potatoes to a baking sheet.
Slice the top off the garlic bulb, drizzle with a little avocado oil, wrap in parchment paper, and add to the baking sheet, roast for 40 minutes.

In a large pot, heat avocado oil over medium heat. Add sliced leeks and sauté for 5 to 7 minutes until softened. Add the thyme, lemon zest, sea salt, and 3 Mushroom Blend. Top with vegetable broth, and simmer for 5 minutes.

Once cool enough to handle, peel sweet potatoes and squeeze out garlic and add to soup along with coconut milk and lemon juice.

Transfer to a blender and buzz until smooth and creamy. Careful not to overfill!

Serve topped with arugula and h**p seeds.

Makes 3-4 servings.

Enjoy 💚

If you’ve been curious about acupuncture but feeling a little unsure, you’re not alone 💛

So many women tell me they’ve thought about booking, but there are some questions they want to explore..

Will it hurt?
What if I’m nervous around needles?
How many sessions will I need?
Can it actually help with what I’m dealing with?

I get it. Trying something new with your health can feel vulnerable, especially when you’re already tired, overwhelmed, or feeling like your body is asking for more support.

Acupuncture is one of the tools I love because it works with your body, not against it.

It can help support your nervous system, encourage deep relaxation, and bring the body back into balance. This is why I often use it to support stress, sleep, digestion, hormones, pain, and overall well being.

And yes, I’m a very gentle needler. My goal is always to make you feel safe, supported, and deeply cared for during your treatment.

Your body is brilliant and always healing. Sometimes it just needs the right support.

Currently booking acupuncture appointments in South Surrey & Delta/Surrey:

✨ Semiahmoo Wellness, Tuesdays and Fridays
✨ Fine Point Acupuncture, Mondays and Wednesdays

Chocolate muffins that support your mood, energy, gut, and blood sugar? That our kind of morning. 🍫✨

These Morning Joy Chocolate Banana Protein Muffins do more than taste cozy & satisfying. They are made with protein, fiber, healthy fats, and functional ingredients that help support steadier energy and a happier start to the day.

Cacao contains PEA (phenylethylamine), often called the “love molecule,” which helps stimulate the release of dopamine and endorphins to support mood, pleasure, focus, and alertness.

Bananas bring vitamin B6 to support neurotransmitters involved in mood, while eggs provide selenium and iodine, two key nutrients involved in healthy thyroid hormone production and metabolism. Eggs also offer choline, an important nutrient for brain function, memory, and healthy nervous system support.

The 3 mushroom blend adds even more function:
• Turkey tail helps support gut health & the microbiome
• Lion’s mane is loved for memory, focus, & mood support
• Cordyceps may help support circulation, stamina, and healthy energy production

Add in cinnamon, flax, and nourishing fats, and you have a muffin that supports healthy blood sugar!

Save this recipe for a happier, steadier day ahead, and let me know if you make them. 💛

This salad is so delish, it will make a beet and quinoa lover out of you if you weren’t already 💚

Your spring detox does not need to be extreme to be effective😉

Sometimes the best support comes from foods that help your liver, gallbladder, digestion, and hormone-clearance pathways do their job well.

Why this bowl works: 👇
• Beets contain betalains that help lower oxidative stress, betaine that supports liver methylation, and natural nitrates that support nitric oxide production and healthy circulation.
• Beet greens + quinoa add fibre to support regular bowel movements, which matters because fibre can help reduce estrogen reabsorption through the gut.
• Olive oil, avocado, and walnuts provide healthy fats that help stimulate gallbladder contraction and bile release, which is important for fat digestion and carrying waste out through the digestive tract.
• Your 5 mushroom blend adds even more functional support. Reishi is especially known for its polysaccharides and triterpenes, compounds studied for antioxidant activity and protection against free-radical damage.

Recipe:

3 Beets
8 Beet Greens Leaves (sliced thinly)
1 cup Quinoa
1 Shallot (finely chopped)
½ cup Walnuts (chopped)
1 Avocado (cubed)
Dressing:
¼ cup Olive Oil
2 Tbsp Balsamic Vinegar
3 Tbsp Lemon Juice + 1 Tbsp Zest
1 tsp Dijon Mustard
2 tsp dried Parsley
1.5 tsp 5 Mushroom Blend by
½ tsp Sea Salt

How to make:
Add the beets to a large pot. Fill with water and bring to a boil. Cook for 25 minutes or until soft. Rinse in cold water before peeling & chopping.
Meanwhile, cook the quinoa according to the package directions.
In a mason jar, combine dressing ingredients, cover with lid and shake until well combined.
Combine cooked quinoa, beets, beet greens & shallots in a large bowl and toss with dressing. When ready to eat, serve with chopped walnuts & avocado. Top or serve with your favourite protein!

Makes 3-4 servings.

Perimenopause-friendly bowl 🍲 for clear mind, steady energy, strong metabolism support, and naturally radiant skin, ready in 10 minutes 💚

This Spiralized Zucchini Bowl is one of my favourite easy wins because it’s light, mineral-rich, and seriously delish, with health benefits like 👇

🥑 Brain fog lift
Cilantro supports gentle detox support, while lion’s mane is a go-to mushroom for cognitive support and focus (key compound: erinacines).

⚡️ Steadier energy
Avocado brings B vitamins and healthy fats, and the combo of black beans + h**p adds plant protein and fibre to help you avoid the crash (key nutrient: vitamin B6, pyridoxine).

🔥 Metabolism + stamina support
Cordyceps support thyroid-adjacent energy and stamina, and maitake is known for metabolic and blood sugar support (key compound: cordycepin).

✨ Glow + healthy aging
Healthy fats help build supple skin from within, tremella supports skin hydration, and reishi (the “immortality mushroom”) adds antioxidant support for resilience.

🌿 TCM note
Black beans are traditionally associated with Kidney and adrenal-style support in TCM, which can feel especially relevant in perimenopause when Kidney Essence reserves run low.

Recipe: Spiralized Zucchini with H**p Avocado Sauce

½ Avocado
2 Tbsp Water
1 Tbsp Olive Oil
¼ cup Lime Juice
3 Tbsp H**p Seeds
½ cup Cilantro (chopped)
½ tsp 5 Mushroom Blend by (lion’s mane, tremella, cordyceps, reishi, maitake)
¼ tsp Sea Salt
1 Zucchini (small to medium)
1 Tomato (small, chopped)
½ cup Black Beans
¼ cup Broccoli Sprouts

In a blender or food processor, add the cilantro, avocado, extra virgin olive oil, lime juice, h**p seeds, 5 Mushroom blend powder, and sea salt. Blend while slowly adding the water to thin as needed.

Spiralize the zucchini and add to a bowl. Toss with the avocado sauce and add the tomatoes, black beans and broccoli sprouts. Enjoy!

Mood feeling grumpy or flat? This bowl of sunshine supports steadier blood sugar and the gut brain axis so you feel more joyous, calm & clear ✨

Mood-boosting reasons:😍

• Squash + black beans: fibre for smoother energy and fewer crashes.

• Fibre feeds gut microbes that make short-chain fatty acids, calming metabolites linked with steadier mood.

• Kefir + turkey tail: naturally cultured lactobacilli in kefir (including L. kefiri and L. kefiranofaciens) plus turkey tail’s microbiome-supporting polysaccharides (beta-glucans/PSK/PSP) help nourish beneficial gut bacteria, supporting the gut-brain axis.

• Lion’s mane: contains hericenones and erinacines, and daily lion’s mane was associated with lower depression and anxiety scores after 4 weeks.

• Orange + turmeric + walnuts: vitamin C plus polyphenols (hesperidin, curcumin, walnut polyphenols) to buffer oxidative stress and support healthy inflammation pathways.

• Walnuts + avocado oil: brain-friendly fats and better absorption of fat-soluble nutrients.

Gut Lovin’ Bircher Muesli 🥣✨

This classic Swiss-style Bircher muesli is basically the OG “overnight oats”… except this version is stacked for gut health (and tastes like a cozy café breakfast you made at home).

Here’s why this bowl loves you back 👇
Oats = rich in beta-glucan (soluble fibre) that feeds beneficial microbes and supports those gut-friendly short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) your colon loves.

Flax = soothing mucilage fibre + lignans like SDG (your gut bacteria transform these into helpful metabolites).

Kefir = fermented goodness with live cultures, often including Lactobacillus kefiri (& friends like Lactococcus/Lactobacillus + beneficial yeasts depending on the brand) to support a balanced microbiome.

Apple = classic Bircher magic + pectin (a prebiotic fibre) to help feed the “good guys” and support regularity.

Cranberries = rich in polyphenols like A-type proanthocyanidins (PACs) + anthocyanins (and a little quercetin), these help create a healthier gut environment and support microbial balance.

Ceylon cinnamon + cardamom = warming digestive spices that help this bowl feel light and cozy.

Pecans + almonds = fibre + healthy fats to keep blood sugar steadier and digestion happier.

And the secret gut-nerd upgrade? 🍄
3 Mushroom Blend (Lion’s Mane + Cordyceps + Turkey Tail) by

Turkey Tail: gut + immune support via polysaccharides like PSP/PSK (think: microbiome “fuel”)

Lion’s Mane: supports the gut lining/barrier and feeds beneficial bacteria with its polysaccharides

Cordyceps: supports gut barrier resilience (tight junction support) and contains cordycepin, plus it’s a solid “stress buffer” for the gut-brain axis

Finish with raw honey for that perfect sweetness + soothing vibe, and you’ve got a breakfast that’s equal parts delicious + functional.

1 cup Oats (rolled)
2 Tbsp Pecans (chopped)
2 Tbsp Almonds(chopped)
1 Tbsp Ground Flax Seed
¼ cup Dried Cranberries (sweetened with apple juice)
½ tsp Ceylon Cinnamon
¼ tsp Cardamom
⅛ tsp Sea Salt
1 tsp 3 Mushroom Blend by
1 ½ cup Unsweetened Kefir
1 Apple (medium, grated)
1 Tbsp Raw Honey

How to make:
In a large bowl, combine the oats, pecans, almonds, flax seeds, cranberries, 3 Mushroom Blend powder, spices & sea salt.

Stir in the kefir & grated apple. Mix well. Cover and let soak in the fridge for 3 hours or overnight.
Divide into bowls or jars in the morning, and enjoy!

Makes 2-3 servings.
