Leaky gut is one of the biggest drivers of poor health I see in my patients. Whether you are experiencing gut specific issues, or you are struggling with a foggy brain, hormonal imbalances, food sensitivities or anxiety, you need to consider the health of your gut as part of what’s driving these issues.

To help you understand a bit more about leaky gut, I am answering seven questions you need to ask yourself to help make your gut healing journey easier.

As a holistic gut health expert, I am all about recreating some of my favourite treats to be healthier without compromising on taste. It's fun and I love the challenge.

This raw chocolate recipe is, hands down, an absolute favourite of mine. Created to be easy and quick to make and, of course, delicious. It is refined sugar, gluten and dairy free and vegan friendly - winning!

As a holistic gut health expert, I am always looking for more ways to get more fibre in the diet. Too often the high fibre snacks we see in supermarkets are laden with refined and fake sugars like glucose syrup and high fructose corn syrup. These sugars can feed the bacteria and yeasts you are trying to avoid feeding in your effort to eat more fibre.

Melbourne is a cultural melting pot of cuisines with so many new and exotic ingredients to explore. As a gut health naturopath, I am big advocate of plant-based eating and eating less animal protein, so I want to introduce you to (potentially) one of your new favourite, tempeh.

What is tempeh and what is it made of?

This recipe is the perfect energy and nutrient dense treat that your gut bugs will love and it's naturopath approved!

Each bliss ball contains a rich source of fibre which can help you fight cardiovascular disease, support a healthy weight and (my favourite) support the health of your gut.

As a naturopathic gut expert I know how powerful green smoothies can be at boosting your daily nutrition.

They can be made to whatever flavour profile you crave (or to be honest, whatever it left over in the fridge sometimes). 

I want to share with you my go-to formula for a green smoothie that turns out yummy and nourishing, not like you are eating grass!
