You know that 3pm slump — the tiredness, brain f You know that 3pm slump — the tiredness, brain fog, or sudden sugar cravings that creep in out of nowhere?

Here’s a gentle reminder: it might actually start with what you had for brekkie.

When we eat mostly carbs first thing (hello toast, cereal, or a quick pastry), it gives us a quick energy hit… but it doesn’t last. Your blood sugar spikes, then crashes — and that rollercoaster can keep you riding the highs and lows all day.

Instead, when you include all three macronutrients — complex carbs, good fats, and protein — you set yourself up with steadier energy, fewer cravings, and a clearer head.

This isn’t about cutting things out — it’s about building a breakfast that truly supports your body. One that leaves you feeling full, focused, and balanced through the day.

✨ Try things like:
🥑 Eggs on avo toast with seeds
🥣 Chia pudding topped with fruit, nuts & yoghurt
🍳 Savoury bowls with cottage cheese, smoked fish or roasted veg

Your body deserves that kind of care in the morning. 🤍
What’s your go-to breakfast at the moment? I’d love to hear!

🦠 Your gut thrives on variety – but are you g 🦠 Your gut thrives on variety – but are you giving it enough love?

The health of your gut microbiome is closely linked to how diverse your diet is. One of the easiest (and most fun!) ways to support your gut? Aim to eat 30+ different plant foods each week.

Sounds simple, right? But life gets busy. We stick to the same meal prep routine. Buy the same veggies. Cook what we know. And suddenly, our diet’s not as colourful or gut-friendly as we thought.

Here are a few easy ways to mix things up and give your microbiome a boost:

🌈 Eat the rainbow – Pick different coloured fruits and veggies next time you shop.
🧑‍🍳 Try one new recipe each week – Make it exciting, not overwhelming.
🍽 Host a themed dinner night – Get your mates together and explore new flavours!

Your gut truly loves diversity — and honestly, so do you. You’ll feel the difference in your energy, digestion, and overall wellbeing.

If you’re feeling stuck, bloated, or unsure where to begin, our experienced naturopaths are here to help with personalised, gentle guidance that fits into your lifestyle.

✨ Book online today and let’s get your gut (and your plate) thriving again.

Feeling flat lately, like no matter how much you r Feeling flat lately, like no matter how much you rest, the spark just isn’t there?

Fatigue isn’t always about doing too much. Often, it’s about what your body isn’t getting. Low energy can stem from a mix of things — poor sleep, mental load, a diet lacking key nutrients, too much caffeine or sugar, digital overload, or even medications.

Our energy comes from our mitochondria — the little power plants inside our cells. They use oxygen, nutrients (like B vitamins, magnesium, iron, CoQ10, and vitamin C), and food to produce ATP — the actual energy we use to move, think, and feel well.

When you’re missing these essentials, your body starts to slow down. Brain fog creeps in. Motivation fades. You might feel wired but not rested, tired after waking, or simply not like yourself.

The good news? You can support your energy naturally. Start with simple, consistent habits:
• Eat real food that includes protein, healthy fats, and micronutrients
• Stay hydrated — it affects everything from your focus to metabolism
• Include iron, B12, and omega-3-rich foods
• Get outside in the morning light to reset your sleep-wake cycle
• Move a little each day — it actually boosts mitochondrial health
• Reduce digital noise and build in wind-down time at night
• Make space for rest, even if it’s just 5 quiet minutes a day

You don’t need a perfect routine — just small, regular steps that support your body’s ability to make energy and recover well.

📩 Call us if you're feeling stuck or want help creating a plan that works for your life, we are here to help!

Exhausted But Still Pushing Through? If you’re Exhausted But Still Pushing Through? 
If you’re always tired but keep pushing anyway - you’re not alone. Many people come to us saying they feel flat, foggy, or wired-but-tired, even after a “restful” weekend or a good night’s sleep.

Here’s the thing: fatigue isn’t always about how much you’re doing. It’s often about what your body isn’t getting.

You might be running low on key nutrients like iron or B12. You could be dealing with poor blood sugar control from missed meals or too many stimulants. Maybe stress has your nervous system on high alert, and your sleep never feels truly restful. For some, it’s a sign of deeper health concerns like burnout, thyroid changes, or chronic inflammation.

What shows up as brain fog, low motivation, or muscle heaviness isn’t just a mindset issue — it’s your body waving the white flag.

Instead of pushing harder, try asking what your body is missing.

Start small:
• Eat whole meals at regular times
• Create space in your day for quiet, not just sleep
• Hydrate more than you think you need
• Move gently, not excessively
• Limit caffeine and blood sugar highs and crashes

If you’ve been exhausted for a while, there’s usually more than one reason why. Let’s help you explore it - with proper testing and assessment with our naturopaths or dietitian, food-first strategies, and support that makes sense for your life.

📩 DM us or tap the link in bio to book a nutrition or naturopathic consult. We’ll guide you back to better energy, one step at a time.

Could Mould Be Causing Your Fatigue? Let’s Talk Could Mould Be Causing Your Fatigue? Let’s Talk CIRS
Still feeling wiped out even after trying everything — sleep, supplements, stress management? It might be time to consider what’s in the air around you. Literally.

CIRS (Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome) is a condition where the immune system stays in a chronic state of inflammation after exposure to biotoxins — often from mould in water-damaged buildings.

Here’s what happens:
Your immune system detects a threat (like mould spores) but doesn’t switch off. This ongoing response affects the mitochondria — your body’s energy producers — leading to symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, weakness, poor sleep, and low motivation. You might feel “just tired,” but no amount of rest seems to help.

Mould exposure can sometimes go unnoticed — maybe from a past water leak, damp room, or poorly ventilated area. But for some people, that exposure can trigger long-lasting health effects.

If this feels familiar, here are a few simple steps to start:
🧪 Try a VCS Test (Visual Contrast Sensitivity) online — a quick screen for biotoxin effects: www.vcstest.com
🏠 Check your home or workspace for signs of mould, dampness, or musty smells
🩺 Work with a healthcare provider who understands mould-related illness and chronic fatigue (FYI our Naturopath Elisha is your lady when it comes to mould!)

Fatigue isn’t always about doing too much. Sometimes, it’s about what your body’s been exposed to — and how it’s still trying to recover.
