Her Best Version

  I was ironically pressing send on this post , explaining about how we'd lead a healthy lifestyle while on our most recent trip to far North Queensland. That's when it started to creep over me. The headache started pulsing behind my left eye, my body began to ache and my bed was calling me louder and louder. Despite the warmth under the blankets, my teeth were also chattering loudly. I was down a...

Do you struggle when it comes to finding love?  Or if you're in a romantic relationship, are you often feeling cranky with your partner? In amongst friendship groups, I've certainly heard my fair share of complaining when it comes to the men in our lives. Yes, I'm guilty of this too. A couple of years ago my dear friend Lisa started talking about books & programs she was learning from and how they...

So you know that folate is important for your pregnancy and baby health, but when it comes to looking at foods and supplements for your preconception and pregnancy, it might cause you some confusion. There is more to it than grabbing a folic acid containing prenatal off the chemist shelf to cover your needs.     As new research emergences, the way we prescribe folate is also evolving. If you're wo...

Are you pooing properly? I know, personal question. But as a Naturopath, toilet talk is a regular topic of discussion. Issues with pooing can range from irregular frequency, straining on the loo, to incomplete bowel movements with the feeling that there's something inside shortly after your toilet stop. This can lad to a cycle of abdominal bloating, discomfort, foul smelling gas and contributes to...

As Dr Natasha Cambell Mcbride states "In healthy gut flora, a digestive disorder cannot develop." So have I got your attention?   If you're going around in circles with your health, feel like you've tried all the things for either small niggly symptoms or major signs of disturbed health and just stuck with where to from here, coming back to your gut health is likely where you need to turn. Yes, yo...

I don't drink milk, but I'm thinking of getting a milking cow for our little farm. Crazy right? But when I say I don't drink milk, that's the pasteurised version of cows milk. The raw, enzyme rich, fresh milk from our own cow will be something else. Oh and I'll be lining up for the cream too- delicious homemade butter on tap! I also think it will be so wholesome for my girls to grow up taking care...

If you're like most patients who come to me with their 'hormone health' blood work up they had with their GP, you have been told that your  thyroid  health was normal and  often   unfortunately  dismissed. Something is often missing however- a test for thyroid antibody levels to check for autoimmunity activity.  If you have had your levels checked and they are 'in range',  heightened above the 'no...

When it comes to baby making, the events of conception that occur within the body never cease to amaze me.  There are many hormones at play to do their intricate dance, follicles to ripen and mature, sperm to show up fighting fit and ready to meet the healthy egg, follicular tubes to be clear, the presence of nurturing cervical mucus and a plump nutrient rich endometrium, ready for the implanted f...

If you're anything like me, you focus on nourishing yourself with whole foods, drink filtered water, take supplements to optimise your nutrition and the way you look and feel on a daily basis. You make an effort to move, follow mindfulness practises and you're working towards making your home a safe zone from EMF's. If you're not there yet, that's ok. One step at a time (my support here might help...

You know what I miss about life before my pregnancies and breastfeeding days? Cleansing!  Yes there's still ways to gently supply detoxification through foods like my fav ferments and gentle herbal teas, but I do practise caution when it comes to taking anything new and especially if it has powerful detoxing actions. If you're instead in the stage of life where you're ready to get prepping for bri...

Did you know it is normal to lose 100 head hairs per day? Crazy to think. But if you are noticing greater amounts of hair falling out when shampooing, or thinning of your once luscious locks when looking in the mirror, I can understand you'd be concerned about why this is happening.

Have you been told you have low iron? Or is this something you've been struggling with for months or years now? Even if it's not you personally, my guess is you know a sister, friend, mother or daughter who has at some point been 'iron deficient'. But there is more to the story. Like many areas when it comes to reading blood tests, it's worth digging a bit deeper to really understand your results....

Do you feel self conscious because of pre period puffiness? Are your breasts sore and tender too?  Do you dread the pain that you suffer with as your period arrives?

If you're thinking about conceiving, currently pregnant, in your fourth trimester or even months or years post birth, abdominal muscle separation is something that may impact you.  I wanted to open up this conversation as I feel like this and other women's health challenges post birth are not openly discussed and women are unfortunately confused and often suffering in silence.
