Hair loss has become synonymous with biotin. But it’s not my fav supplement and it’s because true biotin deficiency is actually really uncommon.

If your hair is falling out, the underlying cause is far more likely to be something like:

• Low iron stores
• Thyroid dysfunction
• Hormonal changes
• Chronic stress
• Nutrient deficiencies
• Inflammation
• Gut health issues
• Postpartum hormone shifts

Biotin can absolutely be helpful for someone who is deficient.

But if you’re simply taking it because your hair is thinning, you could be treating the symptom instead of understanding why it’s happening.

Hair loss is a message. Your job isn’t to silence the message.
It’s to understand where it’s coming from.

Biotin can also influence certain markers in pathology that could actually be a driver for your hair fall out.

PMOS isn’t just about your ovaries.

One of the biggest drivers behind PMOS is often insulin resistance.

When your cells stop responding well to insulin, your body compensates by making more of it. High insulin doesn’t just affect blood sugar. It also tells your ovaries to produce more testosterone.

Over time, this can contribute to:
• Irregular or missing periods
• Difficulty ovulating
• Acne
• Excess facial or body hair
• Weight gain, particularly around the abdomen
• Cravings and energy crashes
• Difficulty losing weight

This is why two supplements you may have heard about are myo-inositol and berberine.

✨ Myo-inositol helps your cells respond to insulin more effectively. As insulin levels improve, the ovaries receive fewer signals to overproduce testosterone, helping to support ovulation and more regular menstrual cycles.

✨ Berberine works a little differently. It activates pathways that improve how your body uses glucose, reduces insulin resistance, supports cholesterol and triglycerides, and may even help reduce fatty liver. Because of these metabolic benefits, it can also indirectly support hormone balance.

Neither supplement is a magic fix, and neither replaces the foundations of health.

If you’re navigating PMOS, the biggest wins still come from:
✔️ Resistance training
✔️ Eating enough protein
✔️ Prioritising sleep
✔️ Managing stress
✔️ Supporting your gut microbiome
✔️ Building meals that improve blood sugar regulation

Supplements are exactly that... supplements. They work best when they’re supporting a body that already has strong foundations.

If you’ve been diagnosed with PMOS or suspect insulin resistance is playing a role in your symptoms, it’s worth working with someone who can help identify the underlying drivers rather than simply treating the symptoms.

Comment “PMOS” below and I’ll send you the exact framework I use in clinic to identify what’s driving PMOS.

Just breaking my post hiatus with a wee hello I’m here moment 😅😂

Winter is my busiest time in clinic, likely I think due to there being less distractions than summer & more illness - so I think your health & symptoms magnify during winter. I am also deep into the trenches of my study. Which has proven to me that I have much to learn in regard to being at the research calibre I need to be for a PhD. Which doesn’t make me insecure, it excites me. Not only do I have a love for education as the educator - but I love being the learner as well.

I think everyone would benefit from putting themselves in rooms where you aren’t the best.

Clinic is booked and busy! And I am loving the cases I’m getting.

I still have a vision for getting the body literacy course off the ground and into schools - but Hineaia takes top priority and I’m really just managing what I can right now ❤️

Anyway - back to some regular posts soon when I’ve handed in this assessment that’s due next week 😅

New clients are welcome - please book in via my link in bio 🫶✨

Short luteal phase, PMS, cravings, poor sleep, breast tenderness, mood changes and heavier bleeding can absolutely point toward progesterone issues.

But they can also appear when the body is under significant stress load.

This is why I am careful with jumping straight to hormone support without asking: what is happening with sleep, cortisol rhythm, thyroid, nutrient status, blood sugar, training load, breastfeeding history and recovery?

Progesterone (like all hormones) does not operate in isolation.

Ovulation quality, luteal function and hormone metabolism are all influenced by the environment the body is living in.

Sometimes the hormone symptom is real, but the driver is upstream.

Good hormone care is pattern recognition which gives us the best clues and direction of treatment and care

You’ve probably heard both of these before...
❌ “Never eat before bed.”
✅ “Have a protein-rich snack before bed.”
So which one is right?

The answer might surprise you...
For some women, eating before bed may support sleep, blood sugar stability, recovery, muscle maintenance and hormone health.

For others, it may contribute to reflux, poor sleep, digestive discomfort and unnecessary calorie intake.

The truth is that the advice depends on your physiology, your hormones, your activity levels, your sleep patterns and even your age.

As a Clinical Nutritionist, I don’t give blanket recommendations. I look at the person sitting in front of me.

I’ve created a quick personalised assessment to help you determine whether YOU may benefit from eating before bed.

Inside you’ll discover:
✨ Whether protein, carbs or fats are likely to help or hinder your sleep
✨ Why some women wake between 2-4am every night
✨ The connection between menopause, blood sugar and bedtime eating
✨ Whether a fasting window before bed may suit your body better
✨ My favourite bedtime snack combinations and who they’re best suited for
