Got your bedtime routine down but still struggling to sleep? 😴

Sleep isn’t always just about sleep hygiene.

Things like iron, B12 & folate, blood sugar, hormones, thyroid function, histamine, stress and nervous system regulation, caffeine or medication sensitivity can all play a role in how well you sleep.

So if you’re doing “everything right” and still struggling, it might be time to look a little deeper. 🤍

There may be an underlying reason your body is finding it hard to switch off.

One of the areas I am often addressing in clinic is energy levels. We can add in supplements and herbs for energy support, however, we need to get to the root cause. The simplest and often most important place to start is SLEEP!

I’ve been dealing with my own sleep issues lately, and it’s amazing how important sleep hygiene is when you have a dysregulated sleep pattern.

What I’ve noticed most recently in myself is that too-stimulating content before bed really disrupts my sleep. Books with a lot of action or emotional content or where you want to read “just 1 more chapter” and accidentally stay up an hour later, are maybe something you got away with earlier in life but with young kids it's not worth the overstimulation before bed!

I’ve also added in a wind down routine: wearing my blue blocker glasses and phone off from 7pm, I practice yin yoga and Qigong in the 90 minutes before bed, to signal to my body that it is time for sleep.

Very often, when we support restful sleep, more bountiful energy during the day comes naturally.

Feeling exhausted has become so normal in motherhood that many mums assume it's just something they have to live with.

But while broken sleep is a real part of many seasons of motherhood, your energy is about more than that!

✨ 3 things I wish every mum knew about energy:

☕ Coffee doesn't create energy. It just helps you to feel more alert by blocking the signals that tell your brain you're tired. If you're relying on multiple coffees just to get through the day, it's worth asking why your energy is so low in the first place.

🍽️ Eating enough is essential. Skipping meals, or undereating can leave your body without the fuel it needs to keep up with the demands of motherhood.

🩺 Energy isn't just about sleep. Nutrient deficiencies, blood sugar balance, hormones, thyroid health, stress, and your nervous system can all play a role in how you feel.

If you're constantly running on empty, let's find out what's contributing to your fatigue rather than simply masking it. 💛

How many mums have been told,or have told themselves,"Of course you're tired... you have kids."
And yes, motherhood is tiring. ❤️

But feeling completely exhausted every single day isn't always something you simply have to put up with.

One of my recent clients assumed this was her new normal. She was pushing through each day, thinking that was just what life looked like after having children.

After taking a detailed case history and running some testing, we found she had low folate, low vitamin D and low zinc.

From there, we focused on:
🌿 Replenishing those nutrients with targeted supplements
🥗 Making simple, sustainable dietary changes
🍄 Supporting her sleep with herbs

Pretty quickly, her energy improved, she was sleeping better, and she felt more like herself again.

The important part of this story isn't that everyone who's tired has low nutrient levels. Fatigue can have many different causes.

The takeaway is this: if you're constantly exhausted, don't assume you just have to live with it. Your body could be trying to tell you something, and it's worth exploring.

If you've been feeling flat, fatigued or like you're running on empty, I'd love to help you uncover what's going on beneath the surface. 💚

If you've been struggling with constipation, this is one of my favourite snacks to recommend. 🥣💚

This chia pudding is are full of fibre-rich ingredients that can help support healthy bowel movements, while also keeping you full and nourished.

One thing I always remind my clients is that more fibre isn't always the answer on its own. Fibre needs water to do its job, so if you're increasing your fibre intake, make sure you're increasing your water intake too. 💧

And remember, constipation isn't always caused by a lack of fibre. Stress, medications, thyroid health, hormones, gut conditions, pelvic floor dysfunction, and other underlying factors can all play a role.

These foods can be a great place to start:
🥝 Green kiwifruit
🌱 Chia seeds
🌰 LSA
🍐 Pear
🫐 Berries
🍑 Prunes

If constipation has become your "normal," know that it doesn't have to be. Your bowel habits can tell us a lot about what's happening in the body, and they're something I always ask about in clinic.

Save this recipe for later, and let me know if you give it a try! 🤍

These are my three first tips to help support healthy bowel movements:

💧 Staying hydrated
🥝 Eating 2 green kiwifruit each day
🚶‍♀️ Moving your body regularly

These might sound simple, but they're often overlooked, and consistency is key.

That said, if you're dealing with ongoing constipation, severe pain, or a sudden change in your bowel habits, it's important to seek medical advice. Constipation can sometimes be a sign of an underlying issue that deserves further investigation.

As a naturopath, I always want to understand why someone is constipated. While these tips are a great place to start, the right treatment depends on the underlying cause.

Feeling exhausted but unable to rest? 🌾

Oat Seed (Avena sativa) is one of my favourite herbal medicines for supporting a frazzled nervous system.

Traditionally used to:
✨ Nourish and support the nervous system
✨ Support resilience during times of stress
✨ Ease feelings of nervous tension
✨ Help restore the body after prolonged stress or burnout

Oat Seed is often thought of as a nourishing herb, supporting the nervous system over time while helping you feel more resilient.

As always, herbs aren't one-size-fits-all. The best herbal prescription depends on your individual health history, symptoms and stage of life (especially during pregnancy and breastfeeding).

Have you ever tried Oat Seed?

💚 If you're struggling with stress, fatigue or feeling constantly overwhelmed, I'd love to help you uncover the root cause and create a personalised plan.

As practitioners, we're often expected to have it all figured out. 😳

But the truth is I don't strive for perfect health..... shocker, I know! 😂

I strive for sustainable health!

Supporting my nervous system, protecting my energy, and making choices that help me continue doing the work that I love. ❤️

Here's a little snapshot of what that looks like for me right now (life is busy, haha!). 🌱

I'd love to know, how do you support your body and wellbeing during busy seasons of your life?! 👇

Jess explores which alternative mylk is best! 🥛

This is one of the questions I get asked often in clinic, and the answer is complicated!!

These are my personal preferences based on what I generally look for when choosing a plant-based milk:
🤍 Protein content
🤍 Simpler ingredient lists
🤍 Fewer additives and gums
🤍 Minimal added oils where possible

That's why you'll see soy sitting at the top of my list, most alternative milks are essentially flavoured water with a small amount of nuts, oats, or seed oils added. Soy is one of the few that actually contributes meaningful protein to a meal.

However soy isn't the best option forever, especially those with thyroid issues!

Which one is your favourite? 👇
