As women approach menopause, many begin to experience a cascade of physical and emotional shifts: hot flushes, disrupted sleep, mood changes, vaginal dryness, and changes in bone density and cardiovascular health.

For many, this transition is more than just a physiological change—it's a deeply personal experience that can impact their confidence, energy, and sense of wellbeing

What if I told you that there’s an entire world inside you — a living, breathing ecosystem that influences your digestion, immunity, energy, mood, hormones, skin, and more? Well, there is and it’s called the gut microbiome!

As a naturopath, I see the gut as a foundational system. It’s often the starting point in my treatment plans because when the gut is healthy and balanced, the whole body has a chance to thrive.

Why Vaginal Symptoms Keep Coming Back — The Science Behind Chronic Infections (And What You Can Do)

Do you often experience bloating, fatigue, brain fog, or joint pain? These seemingly unrelated symptoms could all be linked to a condition known as leaky gut syndrome. As a naturopath, I see this issue far more often than people may realise, and healing the gut is often the missing link in achieving overall well-being.

What is the vaginal microbiome and how does it affect out health?

The vaginal microbiome refers to the microorganisms that colonise in the vagina.

Just like the gut microbome, the bacteria that live here are responsible for good health. When in balance there is plenty of lactobacilli species bacteria, which produces beneficial lactic acid. This lactic acid lowers the vaginal pH to below 4.5 (making it more acidic), which inhibits the growth of opportunistic or bad bacteria. Pretty clever, right?

Feeling exhausted all the time? Waking up unrefreshed no matter how long you sleep? If you're constantly battling a lack of energy, it might be time to seek help. The answer to your fatigue might be with your naturopath.
