Going with your gut

Do you make decisions based on your gut, or are you more likely to favour cool deliberation? Instinct might be regarded as rationality's poor cousin, but it can in fact provide valuable information. Learning to listen to your gut may lead to better decision-making and improved quality of life.

SUPPORT FOR YOUR NATURAL DETOX SYSTEM

When you hear the word “detox,” you might first think of juice cleanses, supplements or complex protocols. Yet every day, detoxification occurs in your body through a network of organs working behind the scenes to filter, process and eliminate waste. By supporting these systems with key nutrients and simple lifestyle shifts, you can help your body function at its best.

Unglamorous healing

In a world obsessed with quick fixes, we're often sold the idea that healing should be fast, dramatic and easy to measure. In reality, it's messy, slow and goes beyond a highlight reel. What happens when we let go of those expectations and embrace a more authentic process?

Winter's hidden gifts

As the seasons shift and the air cools, I'm always reminded of how deeply connected we are to the natural world. Our bodies don't exist separately from nature – they are part of it. There's a beautiful symbiosis between us and the earth, one that becomes even more apparent when we slow down and really listen.

Gentle ways to naturally support anxiety

Anxiety isn’t always loud. Sometimes, it’s a quiet hum beneath the surface — a sense of unease, a tightness in the chest or trouble falling asleep when you're exhausted. As a nutritionist, I often work with clients who feel “off” but can't quite explain why.The good news is that there are natural, evidence-backed ways to gently bring your body and mind back into balance. If you're feeling overwhelmed, try incorporating some of these strategies into your daily routine.

Breathe in, breathe out

As a mum, wellness teacher and editor constantly toggling between creative and caregiving modes, I've learned that balance isn’t a fixed point. What's valuable is how smoothly I can switch gears. Reducing friction throughout the day is what helps me stay present and resourced, instead of feeling overwhelmed or empty. Scent can be a powerful tool in signalling what's next, whether you're looking to speed up or slow down, energise or unwind.

Glycine, the underrated nutrient

Over the last few years, collagen has taken the spotlight in the world of natural beauty – and for good reason! If you're like me, you have a container of it in the cupboard and use it often. But what if I told you that one of collagen's key building blocks, glycine, deserves just as much attention – particularly during pregnancy, postpartum and as you age?

Tips for giving herbs to cats and dogs

One common challenge in integrative veterinary medicine is administering multiple herbs, supplements and medications to pets. Unlike food-motivated Labradors, many pets are sensitive to changes in their meals, and animals instinctively avoid strong smells and tastes. As a result, refusal to take herbs and supplements is the most frequent \"side effect\" reported by frustrated pet carers. Below are some practical tips to make dosing easier.

Living forever: desire or delusion?

Beyond apple-cider vinegar

Sitting in a stark hospital room in late 2013, I felt the walls closing in as my doctor delivered the news: “It's a chronic blood cancer. You'll need to be on medication for the rest of your life. We recommend a mild form of chemotherapy.” I was in my early 30s with young kids at home and now faced a future ruled by medication.
