Confusing topic - inflammation...

The internet is full of content saying that inflammation is the root cause of women's health issues like skin problems (eg. acne), perimenopause symptoms, menopause symptoms, sleep challenges, weight gain...

This is generally true but I think many people fail to realize is that inflammation has a root cause too.

Inflammation occurs when our bodies are stuck in survival mode/injury mode/constant need for repair mode. Call it whatever you want.

The root cause of inflammation is food, drink and lifestyle. Bottom line. There is no other way to spin it.

If your skin is inflamed (eg. acne) - your diet and lifestyle is at the root cause.
If your hormones are struggling (eg. perimenopause symptoms, painful periods) - your diet and lifestyle is at the root cause.

And I know what you're thinking right now. "I am eating healthy! I am working out! But I'm not getting better!" I know and I hear you loud and clear. You're not doing anything wrong.

99.9999% of the time we can't help ourselves because we are so enveloped in conflicting information, frustration towards ourselves and option overload for food and supplements that it becomes impossible to see the tiny things right in front of our faces.

It's the tiny, consistent things that make a huge difference.

Let's chat about it.

Me about to ruin the “it’s just your hormones” narrative. 😌🍿

Hormones get blamed for everything -
Acne. PMS. Perimenopause symptoms. Poor sleep.
But what if hormones aren’t the problem—what if they’re the clue?

👇 Tell me: what’s a symptom you’ve been told to blame on hormones?

Did you know one simple imbalance can fuel inflammation throughout the body? 👇

When I start working with a client, one of the very first things we focus on is their omega balance.
Why?
Because before we dive into hormones, digestion, blood sugar control or skin health, we need to create an environment where the body can actually respond to the work we’re doing.
Omega-3s help support a healthy inflammatory response at the cellular level. When omega balance is off, the body can feel like it’s constantly operating under stress, making it harder to achieve lasting improvements in areas like acne, PMS, energy, mood, and hormone balance.
Think of it as preparing the soil before planting a garden 🌱
Every client I’ve worked with in my career has been outside of healthy omega balance.
By improving omega balance first, we’re helping to create a stronger foundation so that hormone-supportive protocols can work more effectively and the body has an easier time finding its way back to balance.
It’s not the entire solution—but it’s often the perfect place to start.
Small changes at the cellular level can create big changes throughout the body.

Ass-backward things I do as a functional nutrition coach 👇
❌ I don’t hand you a meal plan on day one.
❌ I don’t start with a stack of expensive functional tests.
❌ I don’t load you up with a cupboard full of supplements.
Sounds backward in today’s health world, doesn’t it?
Here’s why:
I don’t start with meal plans because meal plans don’t create lasting change—understanding does. Before I tell someone what to eat, I want them to understand why they’re eating that way. We also need to build the foundational habits that make healthy choices sustainable. Without that foundation, even the best meal plan becomes another document collecting dust in your inbox.
I don’t start with a cluster of functional tests because more data isn’t always better data. Your symptoms, health history, lifestyle, and current habits often tell us a lot. Testing can be incredibly helpful, but only when we’re using it to answer specific questions—not just gathering information for the sake of it.
I don’t load clients up on supplements because supplements should support a healthy body, not compensate for an unhealthy foundation. If blood sugar is unstable, stress is running the show, digestion isn’t working properly, or nutrient needs aren’t being met through food, a handful of supplements won’t create long-term results.
Instead, we focus on the fundamentals that actually help the body heal:
✔️ Blood sugar balance
✔️ Gut health
✔️ Hormone balance
✔️ Detoxification support
✔️ Reducing inflammation through omega ratio balance
It’s not the flashy approach.
But it’s the one that creates lasting results.
Because the goal isn’t to make you dependent on meal plans, tests, or supplements forever.
The goal is to help you understand your body well enough that you can support it with confidence for years to come.

What a beautiful morning!

If you’ve been following me for a while you know that I am a spiritual girlie. I swear by talking to my spirit guides, reading cards and I also like crystals.

This amethyst is my favourite right now. I’ve had my most spiritual moments with it and today it just delivered another.

As I was getting myself ready this morning, I just felt the need to grab it and put it on (this happens frequently and it always results in something helpful).

Today was no different. I popped it on, left the house. And sure enough someone noticed it and commented. This was a person I’ve been in contact with for many months now but never had the connection until today.

Turns out she is a reiki master (which I never knew before and I have been eager to find a reiki practitioner that I know I can trust). On top of that, she has a friend who is being challenged by menopause symptoms and is open to help. So I left her my name.

How special !

Win, win, win for all those involved. All thanks to my amethyst.

Let me know some of your experiences! It can be with crystals, spirits, coincidences or synchronicities … Comment below 😇

I know that many of you have been conscious about your health for some time. You follow the experts, listen to the podcasts, buy the supplements, do all the things right?

The thing is… because every women’s body is so incredibly unique, there is not ever a one size fits solution to solving hormone problems.

Except for these 5 things. I am here to tell you that every single person on the face of this earth, hormone issues or not, will benefit from these 5 things.

I know they seem totally unrelated to hormone health but they are scientifically proven to assist in the overall function of our bodies.

If you want more info, let’s chat about it. Send me a DM ! Let me know what your biggest challenge is right now. Maybe I can help.

PS I have a new freebie coming out! Perfect for busy women who want good, balanced, easy meals. Send me a DM to let me know you’re interested and I’ll send over the link to download once it’s completed 😁

Look ladies, as we get older our bodies start to change. We basically go through puberty again lol (in my opinion). It’s not at all strange that your skin is doing weird stuff (like acne), your period is more or less symptomatic , your sleep declines, your energy declines. Your body is actually physically changing and our outside world hasn’t quite caught up.

After about 35, hormone cycles start to change because we’re entering a time where those cycles are no longer really needed (for most of us! If you’re like me - 35 and don’t have kids yet, listen up cuz this is going to apply to you too).

With changing hormone cycles comes changing needs for protein, carb and fats. Comes different needs for sleep. Comes different needs for exercise.

Everything is connected. And sometimes we experience so many little changes at once that it’s so hard to determine what we should do to support these changes so that daily life isn’t so symptomatic.

You’re not broken. Your body isn’t shutting down. Your body just has different needs.

Follow along for more help!
I’m Rebecca and I help women support their hormones at different life phases - especially when those hormone changes start showing up on the skin, lack of sleep and energy.
