Carissa is also trained in iridology, the practice of observing the colours within the iris to help identify where specific nutrients may be beneficial, and will be providing mini iridology sessions — $10 for five minutes.
You can be provided with information about which nutrients may best support what your iris colours are showing.

GLP-1 medications such as Ozempic, Mounjaro and We

GLP-1 medications such as Ozempic, Mounjaro and Wegovy are becoming very popular, but what are the implications (positive and negative) for women’s health and fertility, an area that there is not a huge amount of understanding.
I’m attending a seminar today to dig deeper into this topic. If you have any questions comment below!
This is the first seminar I’ve been to where a glass of morning champagne was served and I’m not complaining. Extra fun, I got to catch up with the lovely @lisacostabirnaturopath

Sperm health is an incredibly overlooked factor in

Sperm health is an incredibly overlooked factor in fertility, but did you know it also influences the health of the child, as well as impacting many issues during pregnancy such as risk of preeclampsia or preterm birth.
@raulpastrana_hormonalhealth spoke about sperm health in the latest episode of @gutsandgirlbits podcast - we chatted about what can go wrong with sperm, what can be done to help it, and more.

Perimenopause doesn’t always announce itself with

Perimenopause doesn’t always announce itself with hot flashes first — often the early signs are more subtle, but they can feel unsettling when you don’t know what’s going on. Here are some clues your body might be on the rollercoaster of perimenaopsue:
~ Mood swings with random bursts of anger
Hormonal fluctuations (especially estrogen + progesterone dips) can throw off your neurotransmitters, making emotions feel like they’re on a rollercoaster.
~️ Brain fog
Estrogen plays a big role in memory and focus — when it fluctuates, it can feel harder to concentrate or find the right words.
~ Cycle fluctuations
Your period might get shorter, longer, heavier, lighter, or arrive unpredictably as ovulation becomes less consistent.
~ Sleep disturbances
Lowering levels of progesterone can disrupt GABA, melatonin and cortisol balance, making it harder to fall asleep or stay asleep.
~ Ovulation pain when you haven’t experienced it before
Histamine levels often increased due to worsened oestrogen spikes, making symptoms like ovulation pain worse.
~ Migraines, especially premenstrually
Shifts in oestrogen and histamine can trigger vascular changes, leading to migraines right before your period or at ovulation.
~ Libido changes
Lower oestrogen and testosterone can alter vaginal tissue health and desire — sometimes dropping libido, sometimes unexpectedly boosting it.
If you want to make your perimenopause journey smoother, it starts with understanding your cycle health and supporting your body’s foundations — especially your adrenals and blood sugar balance.
I’ve created two ways to help you:
✨ Comment CYCLICAL if you want the link to my program that teaches you how to understand your cycle health and work with your hormones.
✨ Comment BURNOUT if you’re ready for my more comprehensive program that supports your nervous system, gut health, inflammation, and blood sugar — all the underlying factors that make perimenopause feel harder than it has to.
💛 You don’t have to “push through” this transition. With the right tools, it can feel easier.

We understand that fitting appointments into your

We understand that fitting appointments into your busy schedule can be hard, especially when so many other things take priority (work, kids, after school activities etc) , but you can only go so long without taking care of yourself.
After hearing from so many people how they postponed making appointments for themselves because they couldn't find the time, I decided to create an offering of email consult packages.
It's usually not until after the kids are in bed and I've finished work that I have headspace for anything else, so if you're like me and have been wanting to get on top of your health but can't envisage getting to an appointment, then this is for you.
Comment EMAIL CONSULT and I'll send you a link to see what's involved and what the bundle options are.

Blood sugar isn’t just about energy - it’s one of

Blood sugar isn’t just about energy - it’s one of the biggest players in hormone health, stress, and even fertility.
In this video I go over how blood sugar level (BSL) balance is important for our nervous system but here’s a quick overview:
👉 When you eat, your pancreas releases insulin, moving glucose into your cells for fuel or storing it in the liver as glycogen.
👉 When blood sugar dips too low, your body sees this as stress and releases cortisol, which tells the pancreas to release glucagon, which signals the liver to release stored glycogen for energy.
But here’s where things get messy…
⚡ Low blood sugar = cortisol spike (your main stress hormone). Too much of this causes HPA axis dysfunction.
⚡ High stress = higher blood sugar
⚡ Chronically or wobbly blood sugar = insulin resistance → which disrupts your HPO axis (the brain-ovary connection), throwing off your repro hormones
⚡️chronic HPA axis dysfunction and dysautonomia can cause issues with glucagon response being blunted, leading to fatigue
This cycle can look like: irregular cycles, perimenopause struggles, PMS, fertility challenges, fatigue, and even burnout. Over time, stress + insulin resistance can even blunt glucagon response, leaving you stuck in long stretches of low energy & imbalance.
The good news? You can break the cycle with simple shifts:
1️⃣ Protein-rich breakfast → sets up stable energy for the day
2️⃣ Walk after meals → even a small walk helps stabilise your BSL
3️⃣ Slow down + manage stress → given how intricately the nervous system and BSL are connected, stress has to be considered if you ever want to break the cycle.
✨ Blood sugar balance is the foundation for nervous system and adrenal health. That’s why I dedicated a whole section to it in my course Beat Burnout. In this course you get the knowledge & tools to:
🌿 Support your adrenals and stress response
🌿 Eat in a way to nourish your BSL and hormones
🌿 understand why gut health, inflammation and BSL need to be addressed for a healthy nervous system, and what you can do to help
If you’re tired of burnout, brain fog, hormone chaos, or running on fumes… this is for you.
