Over the Australian Summer months I’m publishing 3 ‘reading lists’ for different topics, where I into the archives looking for articles on the topic and briefly summarise the content. In this reading list I’m looking at gut health.  Here are 7 articles all discussing different aspects of your gut health and how it relates to...

If you’ve just been diagnosed with Endometriosis, you may feel relieved, but also confused and overwhelmed. It may have been a long time coming. You may have seen many specialists over the years, with none of them able to tell you what exactly has been going on. And then finally, you get your answer: you...

When you have Endometriosis it can be a challenge to survive the festive season, let alone enjoy it. So I thought I’d give you some tips now, at the beginning of December, so you can be prepared – and hopefully enjoy the season. I’ll start with tips if you have not changed your diet yet to...

In this article I’m going to take a deeper dive into your gut, and in particular your gut microbiome. What I find really fascinating is that 2500 years ago, the Greek physician Hippocrates already knew that all disease starts in the gut. We then ignored that message for a long time, but have started to...

Well, if you have...

It’s about time I wrote about Adenomyosis because I know that quite a few of you either have both Endometriosis and Adenomyosis, or just Adenomyosis. With Endometriosis, there is endometrial-like tissue outside the uterus, often on the ovaries, outside of the uterus, the bowel, the bladder, and other organs and tissues in the pelvic or...

A couple of months ago I was in a consultation with a client and we had been talking about how helpful it is to plan your meals weekly so you don’t have improvise. Changing your diet is hard because a lot of what we eat and when is habituated, meaning you don’t really have to...
