I don’t know about you, but my next 7 to 8 weeks will be “jam packed with serious fun” ……someone tell me where that saying is from, because it’s living rent free in my head now!!!

Yes, it will be filled with fun, maybe tears, maybe heightened stress, maybe some extra late nights and fewer home cooked meals. Did I mention stress? Ahhhh yessss a touch more than normal in this house with added events and functions.

Between running a home with 3 boys, exams (finishing today for one!), graduation for another and a gorgeously full clinic, I will be calling on LOTS of supportive tools. We are all different, but this is what I’ll be leaning on:

💛 Magnesium 350mg with withania, glycine, passionflower, B6 and L theanine to help me sleep like a log
💛 My own personalised herbal 3 x a day (gripped like a loved one in the pic attached)
💛 Going to bed and waking at the same time every day. Sleep matters all year round, but especially now, because sleep is when our body repairs, our brain clears out the day’s load, and our stress hormones reset their rhythm for the next day. Less sleep means less capacity, and this season needs all the capacity I’ve got….
💛 Hitting 2L of water, 3 if I can.
💛 Reaching my own protein requirements. (Yours will be 1.6g/kg to 2g/kg)
💛Not eating on the run and actually be present
💛Not increasing coffee intake (easy to do when I’m under the pump)
💛 Saying NO and not overcommitting.
💛Dancing in the kitchen every night when making dinner.

This time of year asks a lot of us. My goal isn’t to do it all perfectly, it’s to give my body enough support to keep up.

Any of my go to goals, that you’ll be trying too?

May the force (and sleep & energy) be with you!
Tara 💛🌿

Full disclosure, I’ve been back on the dating apps lately, and somewhere between “whats your favourite colour and where do you see yourself in 5 years I realised herbs would make far better profiles.

Herbal medicine is clear about what they’re looking for, honest about their red flags, and genuinely good for you ha ha!

When i think about it, plants are a lot like people in a way, every single one has a type, a love language, and a couple of red flags you really want to know about before you commit.

So tell me below, who are you swiping right on? And send this to the friend who is very clearly a Passionflower girlie. Swipe responsibly my loves. We all have red flags, plants included ha ha. 🚩🌿😂

As a naturopath, part of my job (although it’s the part I find the most fun sometimes, not a job at all) is keeping up with the latest research. So rather than me keeping all the goodness to myself, I thought I’d share it with you too 💛

If you want a deep dive, here you go lovelies!

Saidel S, et al. Menopause. 2026. doi:10.1097/GME.0000000000002827

It is brilliant to see the consistent further research showing up.

Have you ever heard of oestrogen dominance before?

In a nutshell….your liver takes out your excess oestrogen, but your gut may bring it back in. Or if you don’t 💩!

Beta glucuronidase is a gut enzyme that can unpack oestrogen your liver has already sent out for removal.

If it’s lower in range → oestrogen leaves as it should.
If it’s higher in range → it’s recycled back in your gorgeous little body, feeding oestrogen dominance.

Do you ever experience these?

• Heavy, long or clotty periods
• Painful periods
• Shorter cycles or spotting before your period
• Shocking PMS, especially irritability and anxiety in the luteal phase
• Breast tenderness, swelling or lumpy b***s
• Fluid retention, bloating, puffiness
• Weight gain around the hips and thighs
• Headaches or migraines around your cycle
• Anxiety, irritability, feeling “wired”
• Mood swings, teary all the time
• Poor sleep, particularly premenstrually

Maybe it’s oestrogen dominance? Let’s unpack that.

This enzyme shows up in a comprehensive stool analysis. If you want more info on gut testing please feel free to reach out.

Also, it’s weird that I have to say this, but I get no benefit, or income from doing any comprehensive testing, it literally just gives me the numbers, data, and info in understanding your body. The labs get the cashola, not me.

The spleen is an organ that is not spoken so much about, yet I find it so fascinating, especially when we go back to TCM. In traditional Chinese medicine, worry and overthinking are held by the Spleen, the same system that turns your food into energy. When the Spleen is depleted, the mind has less ground to stand on. Thoughts begin to loop, your nerves can hang around and that calmness feels just out of reach.

Physiology tells a similar story. Stress slows our digestion and unsettles blood sugar, and an unsteady gut sends unsteady signals to our brain.

So sometimes you can’t simply just think your way out of anxiousness, you have to nourish your way out alongside that thinking.

Save this for the days your mind won’t settle. 💛

NEW EVENT DROP 💥 Let’s talk perimenopause + menopause.

There’ll be an honest panel discussion, intimate breakout sessions with our experts and plenty of time to connect, share stories and ask those burning questions.

Whether you’re already navigating the changes, wondering what’s ahead or simply want to feel more informed—this conversation is for you.

Date: Tuesday 20 October
Time: 5.30pm–8.30pm

Impacted my career…..

My dad was a huge part of my decision to become a naturopath. He passed away from lung cancer and a brain tumour. He was given 12 months (or close to) to live and was the most positive, optimistic person I knew.

If he could still be here today, I know he would be. The process of being given a death date… is that even a thing? listening to medical jargon, and feeling inferior around medical professionals impacted me deeply….. like who do they think they were….. I’d never heard of a naturopath until my counsellor suggested it. I knew it was for me the moment I found the profession.

I could learn holistic medicine, I could educate patients about their bodies. I could learn medical jargon and share that insight without them feeling inferior (because who wants to feel that feeling, am I right?). I could give them hope and put the reins back in their hands to optimise their health. I could make an impact.

Dad also showed me that life is SO SO sooooo short, he was only 53 when he passed away. Maybe I’m naive, but I feel that nothing in life is that bad, it depends on our perspective. We can choose what we do and how we see life every single day we wake up and take our a breath.

We may not get many years on this earth, but we can absolutely optimise and have fun with the years we have.

Life can be awful and shocking, and we can get handed some really really tough cards, and yes… life is not fair sometimes. But it’s up to us how we choose to live and see each day. I’m not delusional…. Or maybe I am, I know I’ve been through hell and back many times in my life already, but I will always choose to be optimistic until the day I take my last breath.

That’s why I’ll always be your biggest hype woman, your greatest researcher and practitioner who listens and supports you, who will never make you feel inferior, and who may (just maybe) over-explain and educate you a little too much in our sessions and treatment plans.

Because my dad would have done the same.

A very important note to add here….desire, arousal and or**sm shift for all kinds of reasons as you may have read in my previous posts, and these slides won’t be for everyone. If you are asexual and content, that’s is perfectly ok, if your desire has simply changed with a life stage, if medication (like SSRIs or hormonal contraception), pain conditions, thyroid or hormonal issues, depression, or relationship dynamics are at play here, those are very real, valid, and deserve proper care. And if trauma shapes how safe intimacy feels for you, that especially deserves its own trauma-informed support…

This post is for something more specific: the people whose libido, arousal and pleasure have left the building while they’ve been living in chronic stress, running on a nervous system that’s braced, wired and depleted.

In survival mode, desire is one of the first things the body can let go of. That’s rarely because of you as a person or a relationship verdict. It’s your body under a massive load, and it’s exactly what we work on.

If this resonated with you, please know you are not alone and there are always nervine and libido enhancing herbs for you 🌿😉… or maybe, it’s more so about taking off some of those things on your to do list and drop the expectations of yourself a little hey.

After a number of discussions about hormones and our cycle the last couple of weeks, I thought I would do a snippet into the land of our cycle.

Many got “here’s a pad, good luck” at eleven and not much since, yet your hormones shape your energy, your sleep, your mood and your focus… every single day.

So here’s what I want you to know:

Your hormones take orders from your brain, which means your nervous system isn’t separate from your hormonal health, it’s driving it.

Ovulation isn’t just a fertility thing, it’s the only way you make progesterone, your body’s own calming, anti anxiety, deep sleep, mind settling hormone.

If your anxiety spikes the week before your period, if you’re spotting early, if your sleep falls apart premenstrually, that’s a pattern, and can be supported.

What would you like to know next about your hormones?
