I use muscle testing to help identify your hidden blocks to health & wellbeing. These blocks may be Please look at my website for further information.

At The Natural Health Clinic I use muscle testing to find the areas of weakness in the body. This is achieved by using muscle testing to perform a full body scan which includes all organs, glands, joints & any areas of pain by gently touching reflexes on the surface of the body. Through muscle testing we then identify which of these weakened areas is the priority to deal with & what could be the u

nderlying cause of this weakness using the 6 most common stressors. What are the six most common stressors?

1) Food allergies
2) Immune challenges -fungal, viral, bacterial & parasites
3) Heavy metals
4) Chemical toxicity
5) Scars & other interference fields - these block energy flow
6) Nutritional deficiencies - the organ/gland is lacking nutrients for optimal functioning

Based on these findings we use muscle testing to design a individualised nutritional program using natural organic supplements & lifestyle changes. When the underlying causes are identified & removed the body is then more able to heal itself. https://biotrace.co.nz/

When one of my lovely clients first came in to see me, she was feeling exhausted, frustrated, and not feeling great about herself.

She felt like nothing she tried was working anymore.

The weight kept creeping on. Her energy was low. She just couldn't seem to change it, no matter what she did.

We started her on a Nutrition Response Testing program so we could look deeper at what was actually getting in the way of her health.

Instead of guessing, we uncovered several underlying barriers that were stopping her body from functioning the way it should. We found the specific foods that were throwing her hormones out of balance and some underlying chemical stress affecting her thyroid. We gave her the nutritional support her body was actually asking for.

Did she do it perfectly?

No. Most of us don't.

But she made consistent changes, and that's what matters. 💙

Today she's lost 10 kg.💙🎉

More importantly, her body is now burning fat rather than storing it. Her energy is coming back, she's feeling healthier, and she's starting to feel more like herself again. ✨

Symptoms are clues.

Once we find out what's getting in the way, we can stop guessing and start supporting your body properly.

Sometimes it isn't about trying harder.

It's about finally understanding what your body has been trying to tell you all along. 🌸

"But I ate this last week and I was absolutely fine!"

I hear this in my office all the time. 💙

One day you can eat a particular food with no problem. A few days later, the exact same food leaves you bloated, itchy, breaking out in hives, or waking up with a headache.

It makes you feel like you're going crazy.

One way I often explain this is with the Histamine Bucket. 🪣

Histamine is a chemical involved in your immune system and digestion. Normally, your body empties that bucket as fast as it fills.

But stress, poor sleep, pollen, underlying gut issues, bacterial or yeast overgrowth, and even some food intolerance's can all add to the bucket. Eventually, one more glass of wine — or even that healthy avocado with lunch — is enough to make it overflow.

Suddenly you're reacting, even though you were perfectly fine a few days ago.

This is why I don't stop at identifying food reactions and hand you a list of things to avoid. I want to know why your bucket keeps overflowing in the first place. ✨

Once we understand what's getting in the way, many people find they can tolerate far more foods again.

Have you ever reacted to a food one day, then eaten exactly the same thing a few days later and been absolutely fine?

I'd love to know if you've experienced this. 👇💙

One thing I've noticed over the years... 🐕

Many of us put more thought into what we feed our pets than what we feed ourselves.

We buy quality food because we want them to have a shiny coat, plenty of energy, healthy joints and a long, happy life.

Then we race out the door with a piece of toast, grab a sandwich at lunchtime, snack on whatever's in the cupboard at 3 o'clock, and wonder why we're running on empty and irritable.

I'm not saying you have to eat perfectly. None of us do.🙃

But if you're struggling with fatigue, bloating, hormones or cravings, one of the first places we look at is the quality of the food going into your body.

After all, your body is trying to do a lot more than your dog's. 💙

Sometimes a few small changes, like eating more protein and fewer refined carbohydrates, can make a huge difference.

28/07/2026

One of the simplest nutrition tips I give in my office is this...

👉 Don't eat your carbohydrates on their own.

I call it giving your carbs a protein buddy.💙

Having an apple? Have a handful of almonds with it or a chunk of cheese.

Toast? Slap on some peanut butter or have a couple of eggs.

Rice or pasta? Make sure there's plenty of protein and some healthy fat on the plate.

It's a simple change, but people often tell me they have better energy, fewer sugar cravings, and they're no longer desperately hunting through the pantry at 3pm looking for something sweet. 💙

I talked more about why this works in today's newsletter, including why those afternoon cravings are usually not a willpower problem.

If you're already on my email list, I'd love to know what you thought.

Can I ask you a quick question? 😊

Do you hit a wall around 3 o'clock most afternoons?

You know the feeling... your energy disappears, your concentration goes out the window, and suddenly all you can think about is something sweet.

If that's you, keep an eye on your inbox tomorrow.

I'm talking about why this happens, why it's usually not a lack of willpower, and two simple changes that can make a real difference.

Confession time... 😄

One of the biggest fears new clients tell me is:

"Please don't tell me I have to give up everything I love!"

But this isn't how I work.

I'm not interested in putting everyone on the same diet or giving everyone the same supplements.

👉'm interested in finding out what your body needs.

Some people need to avoid certain foods for a while.

Others don't.

Some people need to support their digestion first.

Others need to work on something completely different.

There isn't a one-size-fits-all approach to good health.

That's why I test instead of guess. 💙✨

👉What health advice have you been given that just didn't work for you?

23/07/2026

Have you ever wondered why your friend can eat anything... and you can't? 🤔

It's something I get asked a lot.

The answer isn't usually that one person is "healthy" and the other isn't.

Some bodies simply cope better than others... until they don't.

I often compare it to a bucket.

Every year, the bucket fills a little more.

Stress.
Poor sleep.
Food sensitivities.
Chemicals toxins.
Hidden infections.
Life.😁

For a while, your body copes. Then one day the bucket overflows.

Suddenly you've got fatigue, bloating, sore joints, headaches, weight that won't budge or hormonal changes.

People often think..."It happened overnight."

Usually it didn't.

The bucket had been filling for years.

That's why I'm always looking for what's adding to your bucket, rather than simply trying to mop up the water on the floor. 💙

Have you ever had such bad, stinky gas that even the dog gets up and leaves the room disgusted? 🐶😂

Although we might laugh about it—or not—it’s actually a useful clue.

If you're struggling with foul-smelling gas, it can be a sign that your body isn't digesting protein particularly well. Instead of being properly broken down, digested and absorbed, some of that protein may be sitting in your digestive tract, in effect rotting and fermenting. This allows bacteria and other digestive microbes to get out of balance.

One possible reason is poor stomach acid.

Many people assume they have too much acid because they get heartburn, indigestion or reflux. Quite often, I find the opposite. The digestive process isn't working as well as it should, so protein isn't being broken down properly.

The good news is we don't have to guess.

Using Nutrition Response Testing, I look for underlying barriers that may be preventing the stomach and digestive system from working as well as they should. Once I know what’s getting in the way, I can support the body more appropriately rather than chasing the symptom. ✨

We also have some excellent natural supplements that can help support healthy digestion, soothe irritated digestive tissue and improve stomach function. 💙✨

Do you struggle with that heavy or burning feeling after a high-protein meal? I'd love to hear your experience in the comments. 👇

👉 Did you see my email that landed in your inbox this afternoon?

I'm talking about why your childhood health might be the reason you're feeling stuck today.

Most people are surprised when I start asking about childhood ear infections, tonsils, or that bout of Glandular Fever from decades ago. But to me, these aren't just "things that happened."

They may be part of the original underlying barriers to health – the blown fuses that could still be depleting your body's resources today.

I'm looking for clues that may help explain what's getting in the way of your health today. 💫

In this week's email, I explain:

👂 Why recurring ear infections can be an important clue.

🥛 Why I often ask about food sensitivities, especially milk.

🤒 Why Glandular Fever is something I pay close attention to years later.

If you're not on my email list and would like to read it, comment CLUES below and I'll send you the link. 💙✨

💚A client said to me this week, "I've already tried probiotics."💚

I hear that quite often. Probiotics can be incredibly helpful... when they're what the body actually needs.

What I've found over the years is that there isn't one answer that suits everyone.

Sometimes a probiotic is exactly what's needed.

Sometimes it's the wrong strain, so it doesn't make much difference.

Other times the body is saying, "Before we add more of the good guys, we need to deal with what's getting in the way."

I often explain it like a garden. 🌼

If the garden is full of weeds, simply planting more flowers isn't going to solve the problem. You need to deal with the weeds first, then the flowers have a chance to thrive.

Our bodies can be a bit like that.

Today I saw someone whose body wanted a very specific probiotic. It was exactly what they needed.

But I also see people where probiotics aren't the priority at all. Their body is asking for something completely different—an underlying barrier that needs handling first.

That's why I never assume. I don't know what someone's body needs until I test.

It’s why you'll often hear me say that I prefer to TEST RATHER THAN GUESS. 💙

❓ Have you ever tried a supplement that everyone raved about, but it just didn't seem to make much difference for you? I’d love to hear your experience in the comments! 👇
