Be gentle with yourself out there 💫

Maintaining muscle mass and strength training is the GOAT for insulin sensitivity because it tackles the problem from multiple angles, making it a powerhouse for metabolic health💪💪💪💪

Struggling with insulin resistance? You’re not alone, and there are ways to improve it.

Supplements like omega-3 fatty acids, magnesium, cinnamon, berberine, alpha-lipoic acid, vitamin D, chromium, and inositol can all support better insulin sensitivity. But remember, it’s essential to combine these with a balanced diet and regular exercise for the best results.

If you’re looking for more personalised support on your health journey, we’re here for you. Let’s create a plan that works for you. Reach out to schedule an appointment when you’re ready. We look forward to it! ✨

🌿OUT OF OFFICE🌿

I am excited to share that I will be taking a break from June 20th to July 15th for our first family overseas holiday. This time away will be such a great opportunity to unwind, recharge and gather fresh inspiration to bring back to my naturopathic and wellness practice.

During this time I will be unavailable for consultations and appointments. I will also be doing my best to log off and not answering emails until I return. If you need repeats on prescriptions please get in touch.

Thank you for your understanding and support. I look forward to reconnecting with you when I get back - feeling revitalised and ready to assist you on your wellness journey.

Stay well & see you soon! ✨✨

Captured by the brilliant

Our wedding day was an absolute dream✨✨✨

As I reflect on this year, my heart swells with gratitude for each one of you who entrusted me with your health journey.

There’s the incredible woman who defied her doubts, shedding 11kg in just 3 months – a journey she thought impossible. Then, the beautiful soul set to break free from lifelong medication, defying the odds. Hundreds of clients have reclaimed their digestive peace, no longer haunted by discomfort. Even more clients have reclaimed hormonal harmony and no longer suffer from PMS and menopausal symptoms. And that special moment when a client hugged me, whispering, “You changed my life” – words that resonated deep within. 🥲

Happy dancing for all my amazing clients! 💃 Your hard work and commitment deserve a celebration. I’m overjoyed witnessing the positive changes each of you has achieved.

Here’s to more victories and joyful moments in our journey together. Thank you for allowing me to guide you it’s such an honour ✨✨✨✨

Took a leap into the unknown with my first half marathon. ✨✨✨

No runner pedigree, just a regular person setting a goal. It was hard, it was slow (2:11), but the satisfaction is immense. Learning that challenges, no matter how small, redefine us.

Shout out to my cheer squad for getting me over the line. I’m so grateful for their support and for encouraging me to go for it!

Could insulin resistance be the reason you’re not seeing results?

**Insulin Resistance Demystified:**
Ladies, ever wondered about insulin resistance? It's when your body's cells don't respond effectively to insulin, leading to elevated blood sugar levels. Keep an eye out for symptoms like fatigue, increased thirst, and unexplained weight gain.

**Empower Your Plate:**
Transform your diet by increasing protein and embracing healthy fats. This dynamic duo aids in regulating blood sugar and improving insulin sensitivity. Opt for organic lean meats, wild caught fish, tempeh, tofu, eggs, legumes, olive oil, avocados, and nuts, while minimising refined carbs for a balanced approach to nutrition.

**Muscle Magic:**
Don't underestimate the power of muscle! Incorporate strength training into your routine. Building muscle enhances your cells response to insulin, contributing to better blood sugar control and a more efficient metabolism. It's not just about the scale; it's about building strength and resilience.💪

**Berberine & NAC: Your Allies:**
Consider adding berberine and N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) to your wellness arsenal. These supplements have shown promise in supporting insulin sensitivity and facilitating weight loss. Always consult with your healthcare provider before introducing new supplements to your routine.

Let’s delve deeper into how healing the gut can contribute to weight loss and help maintain a healthy weight by addressing several key factors:

1. **Reducing Food Cravings:** A balanced gut microbiota helps regulate the production of hunger and satiety hormones. Healing the gut restores this balance, reducing intense cravings for unhealthy, calorie-dense foods.

2. **Reducing Stress:** An unhealthy gut can influence stress responses through the gut-brain axis. By healing the gut, stress responses are better managed, reducing emotional eating and the consumption of comfort foods.

3. **Balancing Hormones:** The gut microbiota plays a role in regulating hormones that impact metabolism, including insulin and leptin. Healing the gut restores hormonal balance, which can help regulate appetite and fat storage.

4. **Supporting Liver Function:** The gut and liver are closely connected. A healthier gut contributes to better liver function, including the breakdown of fats and the removal of toxins. This promotes an efficient metabolism.

5. **Increasing Satiety:** A balanced gut microbiota produces short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) during the fermentation of fiber. SCFAs enhance the feeling of fullness, preventing overeating and aiding weight management.

6. **Improving Insulin Sensitivity:** A compromised gut can contribute to insulin resistance, which affects blood sugar regulation. Healing the gut improves insulin sensitivity, reducing the risk of fat storage and weight gain.

7. **Balancing Microbiota:** An imbalanced gut microbiota, with an overgrowth of harmful bacteria, can lead to weight gain. Healing the gut restores a diverse microbiota, supporting weight loss.

8. **Enhancing Nutrient Absorption:** An inflamed gut lining can hinder nutrient absorption, leading to nutrient deficiencies that trigger cravings. Healing the gut improves absorption, reducing these cravings.

9. **Reducing Inflammation:** An unhealthy gut can lead to chronic inflammation, which is associated with weight gain. Healing the gut reduces inflammation, creating a healthier environment for weight loss.

Let’s dive into how various factors influence your gut health…

Emotional Wellbeing: Did you know that your gut and brain communicate closely? Emotional stress can wreak havoc on your gut, leading to discomfort, pathogen overgrowth & leaky gut.

Gut Infections: Harmful microbes can disrupt your gut’s harmony. With my Gut Restore Package, we tackle these infections with targeted herbal support and probiotics, ensuring your gut flora is in tip-top shape.

Immune System: A robust immune system is key to gut health & a healthy gut leads to a robust immune system. Up to 80% of our immune cells are produced in our gut!

Toxins: Toxins in your environment can harm your gut lining, create liver burden & inflammation in the body.

Leaky Gut: This occurs when the gut barrier is compromised. My Gut Restore Package focuses on healing your gut lining through personalised diet plans and supplements, giving your gut the love and care it deserves.

Diet: What you eat matters! Processed foods, refined sugars, preservatives, excess gluten and inflammatory vegetable oils may damage your gut & leave you depleted.

Liver Health: A healthy liver supports digestion. The liver is one of the most underrated organs it performs up to 300 tasks at a time!

Stomach Acid: Proper acidity aids digestion by neutralising pathogens & keeping you free of harmful infections in the gut.

Thyroid Function: Thyroid health influences metabolism. Your thyroid plays an important role in peristalsis, detoxification & gut motility.

🦠Dysbiosis: Imbalance in gut flora can lead to issues such as poor immune function, low energy, excess stress & hormonal imbalances.

😓Stress: Stress negatively impacts the gut. If you’re under stress your digestive function switches off.

💊Medications: Some meds affect gut health. It’s important to understand how these medicines impact our gut so we can support our health to thrive.
