Is it your thyroid? Is it perimenopause? Or could there be something else going on?

Fatigue, brain fog, stubborn weight, low mood… these symptoms can leave you wondering what's actually happening in your body.

And when your thyroid blood tests come back normal, it can feel even more confusing.

The reality is that many thyroid symptoms overlap with other health concerns, particularly during perimenopause.

Low iron, stress, inflammation, gut problems nutritional deficiency can all contribute to feelings like this.

Sometimes your thyroid needs further functional investigation. Other times, we need to look at factors such as iron status, nutrition, sleep and hormonal changes.

The important thing is understanding what's contributing to YOUR symptoms, which are different from your next door neighbours!

Looking in the right area is crucial.

Feeling a little confused about your gut symptoms?

I've posted quite a bit about gut health lately, including SIBO, thyroid function, perimenopause, histamine and bloating.
And you might be thinking… well, which one is it?!

The tricky thing with gut symptoms is that so many different underlying issues can produce very similar symptoms.
Bloating, constipation, reflux, food sensitivities and abdominal discomfort can all have several possible causes.
Your thyroid might be slowing things down. Hormonal fluctuations during perimenopause may be contributing. Your gut microbiome might need some attention. Or there could be something else going on entirely.
And sometimes, more than one factor is involved!

This is why I'm not a huge fan of treating symptoms in isolation and a big reason why as a Naturopath, I spend an hour combing through what's going on for you to understand why this is happening.

It's also why I don't believe everyone with bloating needs a low-FODMAP diet, everyone with histamine symptoms needs to avoid fermented foods, or everyone with gut issues needs another probiotic!

We need to work out what's actually happening for YOU.

Your symptoms are clues, but they're not the whole picture.
And sometimes the best place to start isn't another supplement or restrictive diet — it's asking the right questions and doing the right investigations.

Because getting to the bottom of your gut symptoms shouldn't have to be another guessing game.

Wide awake at 2am with a brain that just won't switch off?

Here's something interesting about histamine that you might not know!

Histamine is one of our brain's wakefulness chemicals, and its activity follows a daily rhythm.
So when histamine signalling is out of balance, it may be one piece of the puzzle behind that frustrating wired-but-tired feeling.

And guess what? Oestrogen can influence histamine activity too. So those lovely hormonal fluctuations through perimenopause may add another layer to the picture!

But here's where I think things get really interesting — your gut plays a big role in how dietary histamine is handled.
And getting on top of gut health isn't always as simple as grabbing another probiotic off the shelf.
Some bacterial strains can actually produce histamine, so choosing the right probiotic (if you even need one!) matters.

Sometimes we need to look at gut inflammation, the microbiome, histamine breakdown and what's driving those digestive symptoms in the first place.
Because sometimes it's not about adding more supplements. It's about understanding what your body actually needs.

Histamine… it's not just about sneezing!
We all know histamine as that pesky thing that gives us itchy eyes, a runny nose and sneezing fits.
But did you know it's also a stimulating neurotransmitter that keeps your brain awake and alert?
Yep, histamine may be one reason you're feeling wired, struggling to switch off or having trouble sleeping!
And here's another fun fact — your gut is packed with histamine-releasing mast cells, and some gut bacteria even make histamine themselves.
Histamine could be contributing to a lot more then just your itchy eyes….

Bloating almost as soon as you eat? Feeling like your gut has become sensitive to everything?

Sometimes we need to look beyond the food you're eating.

Low thyroid function can slow gut motility, which may increase the risk of bacterial overgrowth in the small intestine (SIBO). This can contribute to bloating, gas, constipation, discomfort and that frustrating feeling that almost everything you eat sets your gut off.

It doesn't mean every case of bloating is SIBO — but persistent digestive symptoms deserve a little more investigation than throwing a probiotic at it!

Sometimes supporting your gut means looking beyond your gut.

Eliminating metabolised hormones is essential for hormonal balance and a huge problem I see regularly contributing to oestrogen dominance.

If your bowel isn't moving daily, simply adding more and more fibre isn't always the answer. Hydration, movement, magnesium, stress, your gut microbiome and your thyroid can all play a role.

And through perimenopause and menopause, changing hormones can add another layer to the picture.

If your bowel habits have changed, become sluggish or you're constantly bloated and uncomfortable, it's worth looking a little deeper rather than accepting it as your new normal or that it might go away soon.... 🙄

Your body is in constant communication with you... are you listening?

A Spring Gut Reset Doesn't Have to Mean a Restrictive Diet

You don't need a complicated detox or restrictive eating plan to give your body a bit of a spring reset. Sometimes it's simply about lightening up your meals and adding more of the good stuff.

Think more fresh vegetables and salads, colourful plant foods, cleaner sources of protein, healthy fats and plenty of fibre.

Aiming for around 30–35g of fibre a day can be a great goal for many women. Across a whole day, that could include:

• 2 tbsp chia seeds – around 7g
• ½ cup berries – around 3–4g
• 1 kiwi fruit – around 2g
• ½ avocado – around 5g
• 1 apple with the skin – around 4g
• A handful of almonds – around 3g
• ½ cup broccoli – around 2–3g
• A couple of serves of mixed salad and vegetables across lunch and dinner – around 5–7g

It doesn't have to mean eating enormous bowls of vegetables! Small amounts of different fibre-rich foods throughout the day can really add up.

Fibre helps support your gut bacteria, bowel regularity, blood sugar and healthy hormone metabolism — all particularly useful areas to consider through perimenopause and menopause.

This spring, instead of asking “What do I need to cut out?”, try asking “What could I add?”

Feeling well doesn't have to be complicated.

Skin changes in perimenopause aren’t always just about declining collagen or needing a better moisturiser.

Our reproductive hormones interact closely with our immune system. As oestrogen and progesterone fluctuate and decline, inflammatory, histamine and immune signalling can change too.

This can be very confusing for women when they feel they haven't changed anything else.

It can seem unrelated... but it's common ... and it can definitely be related.

Have you experienced any skin changes lately?

Has your skin suddenly changed in your 40s?

Drier, itchier, more sensitive, reactive… or maybe you’re getting breakouts again when you thought those days were well behind you.

Perimenopause doesn’t just affect periods, mood and sleep. Changing oestrogen and progesterone can also affect skin hydration, collagen production and inflammatory signalling.

So if your skin suddenly doesn’t feel like your skin anymore, your changing hormones could be part of the picture!

It’s not always about finding a better moisturiser. Sometimes we need to look a little deeper.
