A 4 week meal plan plus resources for Smoothies, fibre Guide, and how to add nutrients into your day.

I love what I do on so many levels, but mostly because I know just how invalidating, isolating, and despondent it feels to live in a bigger body that is chronically ill. This translates to a very different practitioner experience when you are my client.

No matter where you are in your journey, there is help, and you are not alone.
Even if you're thinking about surgery or you are 10 years down the track, I got you.

Regrettably, I've had to scale back my consulting hours due to my health.
You may not know that I have a few chronic conditions that challenge me daily. I've adapted my life to be able to function and practice, BUT having added health challenges in the last 2 months has meant I have had to open more time for extra testing and healing.
This is difficult for me because I love what I do, and looking after my clients gives me so much purpose.
Much love

I'm going ruffle a few feathers here, but as an evidenced based practitioner and chronically ill person who has reason to question conventional medicine, I want you to understand the truth behind these 'wellness' people.

Below is my response to comments I received on

the clock app that really highlights the need to call out individuals like the 2 at the start of my video.

*'Big pharma' have many, many issues, but the wellness people lean in to the hatred to get you on board with whatever they are selling. As I mentioned in this video.

*The pill is a treatment many women need, it isn't without fault but too often it is used because the medical model isn't set up for doctors to fully address a woman's whole health picture.

*Hormone therapy is a life-saving and preventative health measure for women, but unfortunately, many doctors lack the skills to get up to date with the current research.

*My profession is trained to treat you as a whole, using traditional, natural & conventional medicine that is evidence based and up to date.

*If you interact with the type wellness industry content I've highlighted, you will continuously be fed more BS.

Obviously, there are way more than 5 things we want you to know, but these sprang to mind after encountering too many BS creators on social media.

Part of the reason for studying nutrition medicine

Part of the reason for studying nutrition medicine was driven by the lack of appropriate nutrition support post gastric bypass surgery.

I've been working on expanding my Gut Health Plan

I've been working on expanding my Gut Health Plan to include a meal plan to take the pressure off finding recipes.
Mexican food is my fav when it comes to gut health, and these Chicken Quesadilla are not only delicious, they are very satiating and can be made in batches to have on hand in the freezer.

Are you experiencing unexplained gastrointestinal

Are you experiencing unexplained gastrointestinal #pain and #bloating?
My client was fed up with getting no answers or help, so they invested their time and money to see me.
From initial consult to follow-up (2 consultations), they were no longer experiencing pain and bloating.
The approach I used was using #foodasmedicine, didn't order expensive testing, and opted not to restrict any foods.
I often start with very simple treatment plans like this to help my clients without putting huge financial strain on them and not asking them to drastically change their diet and lifestyle.

This is your reminder that little acts of self car

This is your reminder that little acts of self care can have a huge impact on your health and wellbeing.
The pressures of daily life, along with the mental load we carry, can blur our perceived view of ourselves and mean we don't prioritise our own needs.

When it comes to GI issues such as pain & bloating

When it comes to GI issues such as pain & bloating, my top 3 tips are abdominal self massage, apply a heatpack, and drink tea that contains ginger, peppermint, or fennel.
If these don't work for you or you're experiencing ongoing issues, book a #consult to get to the bottom of what is causing these symptoms.
