Why a weight loss plateau shouldn’t get you down 👇

While in a calorie deficit, your body breaks fat down via a process called lipolysis.
Fat cells essentially shrink as the stored fat is used for fuel BUT.. here’s the catch 👇

A calorie deficit is a stressor on the body, it’s getting the message that energy availability is lower than usual 👉This triggers cortisol to increase.

Elevated cortisol (even temporarily after a bad nights sleep) increases water retention and can make you feel puffy + hold onto a couple of kilos too.

THIS IS WHERE PEOPLE GET DISHEARTENED AND GIVE UP.

Keep! Going! Even if the scale doesnt budge for 5-14 days..

Because eventually 👇

Your body adapts to the calorie deficit.
It perceives the deficit as less of a threat
Cortisol stabilises
Stored water is released via urine and sweat
And whamo.. you wake up another 1-2kg leaner.

This is known as the ‘whoosh’ effect. And yet, people often give up here and sabotage because they think their deficit and movement routine isn’t working.

This is something I see all the time in clinic and coach my clients through. You must have patience and grit to stick to the plan even on the days where your mind is fighting with you 🙏🏽

We don’t miss around here 😤 working brain-to-bottom is essential for every gut case.

If I had a dollar every time a client said ‘the probiotic I used did nothing’ 💰 or the product they bought from their favourite influencer… flopped.

You could try every gut powder and probiotic you want.. but if you still fear food, have crippling anxiety, low stomach acid.. you’re never going to build a rebuild a resilient digestive tract 🤷🏽‍♀️

Client A may have genuine fear of food and weight gain. Is a probiotic here initially going to help?? NO. But deconstructing her food fear, rewiring her beliefs about her body, and solid nutrition education, will.

Client B may present with bloating 24/7. When we investigate further, they are burping a lot, bloat specifically after meat, and have reflux.
Is a probiotic here initially going to help with the bloating? NO. But correcting nutrient deficiencies to increase stomach acid, chewing more + slowing down while eating, and drinking less water with meals, will.

Digestion does not start in the gut. It happens much, much higher.

Does anything here surprise you, if you relate it back to your own digestion?

The amount of woman I treat each week that have the same undercurrent of this story.. still blows my mind. Young teenage girls trying to perform but tanking at half time and not sleeping at night. Women who are now in their thirties struggling to conceive, who have been consuming the same calories for the past four years. Women who are recovering from RED-S and struggling to comprehend how a decade of high performance sport and weighing out their food religiously, has resulted in SIBO and chronic stomach acid issues. Women entering into perimenopause who are at WAR with their bodies, constipated 24/7, and wondering where the extra 10kg has come from seemingly over night. When did it become cool to eat less??? Why are we SO OBSESSED with being hungry and starving?? Nutrition is a SKILL, and unfortunately we have generations still who do not have access to correct information. We have wellness influencers promoting disordered eating and others sharing their story about how going carnivore, keto, or vegan healed them. The science still stands - your body is DIFFERENT to everyone else’s. Your metabolism is different even compared to a family member, even slightly. Do not underestimate the power of investing in working with a practitioner to learn as much as you can, to support yourself well into your later years. Good nutrition education and learning what YOUR body needs, will save you decades worth of food noise, disordered eating, binge and restrict cycles, and protect you from so many diseases.

1. Tell you organic is the ONLY way
Is organic better? Often, yes. Is it accessible or affordable for everyone? No. I’d rather you eat conventional vegetables than no vegetables because you can’t afford organic. The stress of food perfectionism does more damage than pesticide residue.

2. Recommend activated charcoal for “detox”
Activated charcoal binds to EVERYTHING - including your medications, birth control, and nutrients. It’s not a daily wellness tool. It’s emergency medicine for poisoning. The wellness industry selling it in lattes and smoothies is irresponsible.

3. Put you on a lifelong elimination diet
Elimination should be temporary and strategic - identify triggers, heal the gut, reintroduce systematically. If someone has you avoiding 15 foods for years without a plan to bring them back? They’re not healing you, they’re creating orthorexia.

4. Sell you an expensive “proprietary blend” supplement
Proprietary blends are how companies hide low-quality ingredients and underdose active compounds. Transparency > marketing.

5. Recommend expensive testing you don’t need
Not everyone needs a $500 gut microbiome test. Sometimes we can identify the issue through a thorough intake, symptom tracking, and strategic elimination.

6. Tell you to “just manage your stress better”
This is what practitioners say when they don’t know what else to do. Telling someone with gut issues, hormone chaos, and chronic fatigue to “just relax” is like telling someone with a broken leg to “just walk it off.” We need to address WHY your nervous system is stuck in survival mode.

Here’s the thing 👇
The wellness industry profits from complicated protocols you can’t sustain, expensive products you don’t need, food fear that keeps you buying, and confusion that keeps you searching.
The real learning and flex, is understanding your body well enough to make 👏informed👏choices👏 without the anxiety. If you are a client of mine, you best believe I will teach you everything you need to support your health long after our work is finished 🩷

It’s 9 pm and you’ve drunk 3 cups of peppermint tea after a ‘normal’ day of eating to settle your stomach,
wondering if it was the dressing, bread, cheese, the stress, or maybe… hormones?

You’re already anxious about tomorrow’s work lunch.

You’re thinking of the jeans that will cut in and get sore, or how your gut is going to stomach the work drinks after your shift.
Exhausting? Girrrrrrl, I see you 🫶🏽

The bloating is real. But the mental prison? That’s what’s exhausting.

I know because I have been there. The food fear. Social anxiety. The grief over the freedom I lost.

Hears what I learned 👇

You can’t heal your gut without healing your relationship with it.

Thats why my Four Week Gut Reset isnt just supplement protocols and meal plans. It includes:

💫 30+ pages of education surrounding every facet of your digestive tract
💫a root cause quiz so you stop guessing and start knowing
💫targeted protocols for YOUR specific root cause
💫Fast EFT tapping guide to release food fear and clear stories that are impacting your digestion
💫 journaling prompts to process the emotional weight
💫a four week meal plan that reduces symptoms, inflammation, improves insulin response, and keeps you saietated.

118 pages of everything I wish someone had given me when I when I was younger. It would have changed everything.
