Potential food triggers for fibromyalgia pain ✴️

✋ Before I get into the list — an important caveat. Fibromyalgia is deeply individual. Not everyone will react to the foods below, and there may be other foods not on this list that are a problem for you specifically. These are simply the common culprits I see clinically and that appear in the research.

✴️ Wheat or gluten
✴️ Lactose & dairy
✴️ MSG & artificial sweeteners
✴️ Sugar & refined carbohydrates
✴️ Caffeine
✴️ Animal fats (in high amounts)

Please don't race off and cut all of these out at once! Working with a nutritionist or naturopath who understands fibromyalgia means you can go through an elimination process safely — and actually get a clear picture of what's affecting you and what isn't.

If you're just starting to explore how food and nutrition impacts your fibromyalgia symptoms - including pain, fatigue and - feel free to follow the link in my bio or send me an DM for a free introductory call. 😊

We talk a lot about vitamin D… but what actually matters is your levels.

Most labs will say anything above 50 nmol/L is “sufficient”
But in practice, that’s often not enough for optimal immune function.

👉 I generally like to see levels closer to 75–100 nmol/L (or slightly higher depending on the individual)

Because vitamin D plays a key role in:
• Regulating your immune system
• Reducing risk of colds & flus
• Supporting appropriate inflammatory responses
• Helping modulate overactive immune conditions (like autoimmune conditions)

And coming into winter… this becomes even more important.

———

Those most at risk of low vitamin D:
• Limited sun exposure (especially in winter)
• Indoor workers
• People with darker skin
• Those who wear full skin coverage
• Older adults
• People with gut issues or malabsorption
• Chronic illness / autoimmune conditions

———

If you’re not sure where your levels are sitting, it’s a simple blood test to check.

And if you’re already being told your levels are “fine”… it’s worth asking what number that actually is.

Because “normal” and “optimal” aren’t always the same thing.

If you’re unsure what your results mean, feel free to reach out or send me a message, I’m always happy to point you in the right direction. And if you’re here for more simple, practical health guidance, make sure you’re following along.

Small sustainable changes = long term outcomes💪

Supporting your mind and body doesn't have to look like an overhaul of your whole life.

Start with one or two things that feel manageable and realistic for you to implement today.

No habit changes too small
• an extra glass of water 💧
• an extra veggie at dinner 🥦
• A little more protein with breakfast 🍳
• A 2 -minute check-in or mindfulness practice🧘‍♀️
• going to bed 15 minutes earlier 💤

All these things count and their accumulative impact can be profound over time.

If you need help in knowing where to start and what to prioritise book a free intro call via the link in my bio or shoot me a DM.

Do you struggle with sleep?

Falling asleep
Waking during the night
Tossing and turning
Waking tired

These are common complaints that I see in clinic. But reaching for the alcohol is not the answer.

There are however, many lifestyle things we can do to support sleep and herbal medicines that help regulate the nervous system and support the brain chemistry involved in your sleep wake cycle.

If you are struggling to get enough 💤, don't let it Go. Sleep is so important to our physical and mental health. 👉Book a free introductory call (link in bio) and we can have a chat about how we can improve your sleep.

If you feel like this lately…

• You’re tired, but wired at night
• You wake up exhausted, no matter how much sleep you get
• Your mood feels flat, low, or irritable
• You're really noticing those afternoon crashes
• You’re doing “all the right things”… but still not feeling better

I see this all the time.

And it’s not just stress.
It’s not just in your head.

Your body is trying to tell you something.

Often, it comes back to the foundations...
how you’re eating, how your gut is functioning, how supported your body actually feels day to day.

But it can also point to deeper imbalances within the nervous system and how your body is responding to stress, whether that stress is real or perceived.

If this feels like you, you’re not alone 🤍

If you’re wondering why this is happening for you, that’s exactly what I help my clients work through. 👉🏼Book in with me via the link in my bio if you're ready to dig deeper and be empowered to support yourself with more confidence.💪

This is a question I get asked often. I'm already taking medication . Is it okay to get nutritional and naturopathic treatment alongside this?.

Absolutely!

Not only is it okay, but it can be incredibly supportive to all the other things that you're already doing.

Got a question for me? 👇Pop it in the comments and I'll do my best to answer it in future content. 😊

“Just tell me what to take.”

I hear this all the time.

And I get it! When you’re exhausted, overwhelmed, and just want your life back… you want something simple that works.

But with conditions like ME/CFS, chronic fatigue and post-viral illness, it’s rarely about one thing.

It’s about understanding what’s going on in your body AND.. supporting it in the right way.

That’s where a lot of people feel stuck…
especially if you’ve just been diagnosed or are on the journey to diagnosis and aren’t sure what to do next.

✨This is exactly why I created this free workshop.

It’s a simple, practical introduction to:
• How I approach these conditions as a naturopath + nutritionist
• What actually matters when it comes to diet and supplements
• Where to start (without the overwhelm)

No pressure, no complicated protocols - just a clear starting point.

👉 Wednesday 20th May
👉 Online (recording available)

If you’re looking for answers and don’t know where to turn next, this is for you.

If you’re living with ME/CFS, long COVID or chronic fatigue…

This part is often the hardest.

Not the diagnosis.
Not even the symptoms.

It’s the after.

The confusion.
The isolation.
The information overload.
The feeling like you’re piecing it all together on your own.

And when tests keep coming back “normal”…
it can make you question yourself.

I want you to know - there are reasons for what you’re experiencing.
And there are ways to start supporting your body.

✨In my free online workshop, I’ll walk you through a clear, simple way to understand what’s going on and where to start - without the overwhelm.

May 20th - registrations are essential
