A little about me

For most people, keeping up with everyday demands of work, family or study can be challenging as it requires a lot of motivation and energy. If you are often struggling with fatigue or anxiety, weight issues, poor sleep, hormone imbalances, digestive issues and just getting through the day, it is likely you are not living life to the fullest. As a degree qualified Naturopath and Metabolic Balance Practitioner® Melisa can help guide you towards optimal health by first doing an assessment of your health which is then followed up with diet and lifestyle recommendations (and sometimes nutritional and herbal medicine prescriptions) that are safe, efficacious and evidenced based. During the years that Melisa has been in clinical practice, she has enjoyed helping many people transform their health and wellbeing.

If you are like a client of mine Alison, this post is for you.Alison came to clinic last year seeking support for eczema.At the time she was working 2 jobs, starting her part time job 5.00 am (a PT), and then starting work at 9.00 am and then teaching classes in the evening after work.She had little time for herself. A year ago, she was tired but could push through as she had a goal to get a deposit for her house.A year later, she confesses she is really struggling, as her energy has really declined in the last 12 months and her skin is not better.She knows that she has to make some changes to feel better.It takes courage to put yourself back at the top of the list. Especially when it's been a while.But your health, your energy, how you feel in your own body... that matters. You matter.If today is the day you decide to make yourself a priority again, I'd love to be part of that. 😊.

I hear this a lot in my first consultation with a woman....."I've been getting headaches a lot more lately. I just assumed it was stress or that I haven't been drinking enough water ."Sometimes it is those things. However, in perimenopause, headaches that seem to come from nowhere, or that have become more frequent or intense, are often tied to oestrogen fluctuations.The fluctuation in oestrogen may trigger the release of histamines (which causes blood vessels to dilate) so therefore symptoms such as headaches, migraines, hives and rashes can suddenly start occurring in your 40's.Progesterone decline plays a role too. Lower progesterone through anovulatory cycles means less of that calming, anti-inflammatory effect on the nervous system.If your headaches tend to cluster around your cycle, or have become more random and harder to predict, that's worth paying attention to.It's also worth knowing that blood sugar instability, dehydration and disrupted sleep, all common in this stage of life, can compound hormonal headaches significantly.The solution is to support liver clearance of hormones (oestrogen) which I often do with herbal medicines and nutritional supplementation.If you think your symptoms might be histamine-related, please DM. I'd love to help..

Have you heard of your oestrobolome?Most women haven't. Yet it plays a surprisingly significant role in how you feel during perimenopause and menopause.Inside your gut lives a specific group of bacteria whose job it is to recycle oestrogen back into your body.When this system is working well, your liver processes used oestrogen and your oestrobolome reactivates it, helping your body hold onto more of what it produces.However... as oestrogen declines, so does the diversity of your gut bacteria. Less diversity means less oestrogen being recirculated.Your levels are essentially falling from two directions at once.This is often the missing piece behind bloating that appears from nowhere, worsening hot flushes, flat mood, and weight that simply won't shift.Reaching for a probiotic off the shelf rarely resolves this.What matters is your individual picture.The state of your gut, your hormone levels, your symptoms together.This is exactly what I look at when working with women in perimenopause and menopause.If your symptoms feel connected but nobody has quite joined the dots yet, I'd love to help. DM me. 😊.
