Ep: 308: Battling Chronic Fatigue and Long COVID: Holistic Approaches to Restore Your Energy

In this episode, I’m diving into the topic of energy—because let’s face it, when you have energy, life just feels easier and better all around.

I’ll be sharing some holistic ways to help you restore energy if you’re dealing with chronic fatigue, Long COVID, fibromyalgia, or other draining conditions. I’ve worked with a lot of clients facing these challenges, and I’ve seen firsthand how complex and personal the journey to better energy can be.

With Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, for example, it’s what we call a “syndrome,” meaning it’s a bunch of symptoms we don’t fully understand yet—kind of like PCOS or IBS. These diagnoses are basically labels for groups of symptoms without a clear cause. And because research is still limited, we’re missing a solid understanding and real treatment options. So, every person’s experience with CFS, Long COVID, or fibromyalgia is different, with unique root causes and triggers.

For these kinds of issues, conventional medicine often doesn’t have a lot to offer beyond maybe a couple of medications or sometimes therapy for CFS. But these are multifactorial syndromes, meaning there’s usually a mix of different factors at play. The key is figuring out what those factors are for you—what’s really driving your symptoms and what’s going to make the biggest difference.

I’ll be sharing the patterns and common factors I see most often with clients, as well as some quick, actionable tips you can start using right away to boost your energy.

BONUS: is it perimenopause or is it really this…

Is it perimenopause? Or is it actually something else that's going on? That's what I'm sharing today in this mini episode. This episode aims to get you thinking, questioning, and being honest and also to provide you with a new idea.

We are seeing so much more chat about menopause and perimenopause, which is brilliant. I am here for so much more education. We are talking about it. There's awareness, it's happening, it's changing in workplaces, it is so needed. It's a really important transition, a lot of things can go wrong and lots of women can really struggle with this.

But I've also noticed when I'm talking to a woman who is thinking of working with me, whether it's late thirties or forties, the label that they're slapping on everything is perimenopause.

I'm not actually here to say that that is necessarily wrong. I just want to provide a different narrative of what could be going on or a different way of seeing it.

When it comes to your hormones, you actually have so much more control and you have so much more influence than you realise.

Ep 307: Endometriosis, Adenomyosis, Fibroids - a holistic healing approach

In this episode, we're talking about endometriosis, adenomyosis, and fibroids, as well as what an integrative healing approach is.

My job here as a nutritionist and coach (and here on the podcast) is to help you feel better. I want you to feel better. I don't mind how you get there as long as you get there but I've found through my experience and through helping hundreds of clients at this point, that a holistic approach is really powerful. It doesn't negate the other things like medicine and surgery, but actually, when you can treat the whole body, the whole person, and look at your diagnosis from that holistic lens, it can really work in helping you feel better.

Over the years, I have had so many clients with either Endometriosis, Adenomyosis, Fibroids or issues with the womb and often they're left feeling really despondent and hopeless like there's nothing they can do. Even if they have surgery, then they will probably have surgery again and again.

Often these are people in their 20s or 30s and they look at it like they have a life ahead that is full of constant surgeries to remove this kind of rogue tissue so I wanted to do a podcast episode on this.

I want to talk a bit about these conditions, summarise them and give you a high-level picture.

Ep 306: How to prepare for an easier menopause

Did you know you can actually prepare for a better, easier menopause? That there are (at least) 5 things you can start doing right now to set you up for success?

With all of the increased awareness and education that is going on around menopause, (which I love!), there's also something missing in that conversation.

I am not at the point of menopause yet, I can set myself up for success as I head into that era of my life. So, whether you listen to this in your mid 30s, or 40s, wherever you are, if you actually are in the throes of perimenopause, all of these things apply.

I think whilst we talk about it and share openly about how menopause can affect us, we also need to be really careful that we're not just normalising suffering. So in this podcast I am sharing with your the 5 things you can do to help making this transition easier.

BONUS: Should we pay attention to calories?

In this bonus episode, I’m talking all about calories and if we should pay any attention to calories at all.

We see calories noted on everything so should we just ignore it completely and think calories are complete BS or are they actually something we want to pay attention to?

Should we track them and create a calorie deficit to reduce body fat? Are we eating too many calories?

Ep 305: Ultimate guide to weight loss

In this episode, I’m giving you the ultimate guide to weight loss and breaking down the 5 key areas you need to focus on to make fat loss inevitable.

With so much conflicting information out there, I’ve created this episode to bring together all my thoughts and strategies in one place. Whether you're just starting your journey or have tried everything, this guide will help you gain clarity on what shifting your body composition truly requires—and how to make that decision with confidence.

Change always involves effort, and when it comes to weight loss, mindset is just as important as external habit changes for most people. The path to weight loss depends on your personal history, what you’ve tried before, and how much weight you’d like to release.

Whether your goal is to lose 10 pounds or 10 stone, the approach will vary, but these core components are essential no matter what.

This episode is your ULTIMATE holistic guide to weight loss—one that considers both body and mind!

Ep 303: Summer glow basics & reminders! (How to become your radiant energised self this summer)

How do you become your most radiant energised self this summer? Where do you get that summer glow from? And I can tell you it's not from a five-day juice cleanse. 

In this podcast episode, I'm going to share with you some of the summer glow basics.

This time of year can feel really hectic. Summer is often filled with a lot of busyness like weddings and holidays. It can also be really busy for some people as well, especially if you are a parent and are navigating school holidays and time off and work. All this busyness often means that it’s also a time when people are most likely to crash diet, do a juice cleanse or suddenly start going to the gym every day of the week to shape up for their bikini.

There is often an attitude of ‘sack it, what's the point? I'm just going to eat ice cream. I'll start again in September or I'll start again when the kids go back or I can't look after my health right now’

If that's going on in the back of your brain, I just want to call a bit of BS to that because this isn't about being on or off something. You don't need to do a juice cleanse in order to go into a bikini. If you need a new size bikini just buy one or just don't wear a bikini. Do whatever you want. It’s your body.

Remember that confidence is a practice. Confidence doesn't come from body size. Confidence comes from beliefs. It comes from something that we internally practice. It doesn't come from the label on your jeans or the label on your bikini. It comes from within you.

So, there can be a lot going on in the summer and so in this episode, I want cut through the crap and share with you some of the things to focus on, some of the things that I will be focusing on and give you a couple of essential reminders.

Ep 302: The most important thing you need to do to sort out hormones, belly and mood

In this episode, I am going to be giving you a really big dose of clarity, a gentle kick up the butt now that we are halfway through the year.

I love reflecting on the six months that have gone past and the six months ahead, so I want to encourage you to take some time to think about what you want for the next six months as we dive into this episode.

So, what is the most important thing that you need to know and do in order to sort out your hormones, to create a happier and flatter belly, to improve your mood, to have more glowing radiant skin, to have more energy and to become that really well healthy radiant kick ass woman that feels like your life and your body and your health is a springboard for the rest of your life that you're not limited by?

Your body and health propel you towards the life you want to live. Whatever it is that you want to do, your body is the platform and springboard for all of those things.

Whether that's your career, parenting, in social justice, house renovations, traveling the world, retraining, starting a new career; all these things require you to be well. 

We are in the age of information, so you can Google a symptom, how to get rid of it, how to deal with it, why you have it, what supplements might help, etc and you can get tons of information. 

But we are not lacking in information, we actually have an abundance to the point of often where that feels overwhelming. What you need is clarity and structure in order to see massive progress and make massive results.
