The questions on everybody’s lips (not really, but helpful to know) 🕺

If you’re ever seeking clarity on whether working together is the right fit, that’s exactly what Discovery Calls are for - a free 15-minute, no-obligation chat about what you’d like support with, and an insight into my approach.

This one goes out to all my girls who are sick of being told everything is normal but still feeling like 💩.

If you feel like deep diving your symptoms together, book a discovery via the link in my bio ❤️‍🔥

No two cases are ever the same - and that's why I bloody love what I do!

Whether it's a straight forward solution, or a more complex puzzle to find the root cause of your symptoms, I'm so here for it.

SIBO get's a lot of air time in clinic at the moment, I think probably due to social media and people sharing their experiences. And I know the feeling of relief when you think you've found the answer to all of your health concerns - but, one of the biggest misconceptions is that it’s the actual problem.

Most of the time, it’s not.

It’s usually happening because something else in the gut isn’t working properly: things like slow motility, stress, low digestive capacity, previous infections etc.

Which is why a quick “kill the bacteria” approach often doesn’t hold up and symptoms come back if it's not accompanied with the right support.

So what the heck is SIBO? Sounds like a planet in a sci-fi movie or something.

SIBO stands for Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth. Essentially is a condition where some of the bacteria that are meant to live in your large intestine, end up in your small intestine.

Doesn't sound too crazy, right?

The problem is, your small intestine is not equipped for that, so when you eat (especially things like carbs and fibre) those bacteria ferment it.

That’s what leads to: bloating, gas, stomach pain, constipation or diarrhoea and that ‘I look 6 months pregnant by 4pm’ feeling.

If you feel like everything you eat makes you bloated - this is something worth looking into properly.

Stay tuned for my next post where I'll go more in depth into the drivers and symptoms of SIBO.

If you're ready to jump straight in and stop feeling like 💩, comment below, send me a dm or head straight to the link in my bio and book a free discovery call.

A glimpse into what graced my plate today - the moral of the story is sometimes (often) I still have coffee on an empty stomach (don’t bring that up in a consult when I tell you not to 😉) and we should eat in a way that makes us as individuals feel great - not because a skinny tok influencer tells you to.

Love ya’s.

This week, from my kitchen:

1. Breakfast tacos

2. Kefir Bircher

3. Honey garlic butterfly chicken with roast sweet potato and slaw

4. Chicken and sun dried tomato orzo

5. Eye fillet, crispy roast potatoes and rocket salad (this is in the heavy rotation)

6. Tamari and ginger beef stir fry

Have a fab week everyone ❤️

When these symptoms appear together, it’s rarely random.

Digestive discomfort, skin flare-ups and low energy often share the same underlying drivers: gut inflammation, impaired digestion, unstable blood sugar, and chronic stress.

Treating each symptom separately can create short-term relief, but it often misses the broader picture of how systems interact.

The body doesn’t speak in isolated problems. It speaks in patterns.

Understanding those patterns is where meaningful change begins.

Start here (the unsexy foundations that actually move the needle) ↓

1. Drink more water
Aim for 2–3L per day. Hydration supports detoxification pathways, bowel regularity, lymphatic flow, skin health and overall metabolic function. Most people feel better within days of simply drinking enough water.

2. Eat real food
Crowd out processed foods and refined sugars. A colourful, fibre-rich, whole-food diet naturally reduces inflammation, balances blood sugars, supports hormones and feeds a diverse, resilient gut microbiome.

3. Manage your stress
Chronic stress keeps you in survival mode (hello, sympathetic dominance). In this state, digestion slows, hormones misfire, sleep suffers and your body holds onto fat. Regulating your nervous system is essential - not optional.

4. Prioritise sleep
7–9 hours. Consistent timing. Dark room. No screens before bed. Good sleep is the most potent free health supplement you’ll ever have.

5. Lift weights + zone 2 cardio
Build muscle, support metabolic health, regulate blood sugar, improve mood, increase longevity markers… it does everything without thrashing your nervous system and increasing stress with hiit training. Consistency > perfection.

6. Get morning sunlight
Just 5–10 minutes resets your circadian rhythm, improves cortisol regulation, supports better sleep and boosts mood + energy.

These foundations are simple—but they’re powerful.
Master these, and everything else becomes easier.
