Itâs that time of year again! If youâre like most people out there, youâre probably experiencing that universal feeling of sluggishness â
possibly due to a bit of celebrating or a disrupted exercise routine.
Maybe you've been socialising, overindulging and noticing some unwanted weight gain creeping in. You had those goals to lose weight this year, but life happened, right?
But donât worry - hope is not lost. Iâm taking you through a 3-step hormone reset plan we use in my programs that has helped so many women do things a little differently and find success in their journey to losing weight.
It's pivotal to understand that after 35, hormonal shifts make weight loss more challenging and weight gain easier. Women in particular see changes due to hormonal imbalances and stress, both significant factors in weight management.
Additionally, modern diets and poor food quality, filled with preservatives and processed ingredients, work against us by inducing nutritional deficiencies that slow metabolism. Constant dieting or having a "diet mentality" doesnât help either, as these approaches can deteriorate metabolic health over time.
The 3-Step Hormone Reset
So, letâs take a look at the three key systems to focus on in order to nourish the hormones responsible for a super fast metabolism:
Revitalising the AdrenalsSupporting the Pancreas and LiverNourishing the ThyroidIt is possible to reach your weight loss goals, all while enjoying a balanced, satisfying diet. But as I always say, this journey is most importantly about repairing your metabolism, with weight loss as a welcoming side effect.
If this approach resonates with you and you'd like to delve deeper, I've put together a comprehensive training session on these three phases. You'll find the link to this below, offering detailed guidance on achieving a revitalised, vibrant you.

Are you beginning to slow down a little?
Itâs hard to believe itâs this time of year again but here we are - Christmas is around the corner and 2025 is fast approaching!
But before you bring 2024 to a complete close, now is the perfect opportunity to reflect, recharge, and set the stage for a new year.
To help you end the year strong, Iâm sharing five essential self-care habits that you can tap into now while the pace of business begins to slow down.
Prioritise Regular Pathology Testing
As business owners, itâs easy to push personal health needs to the back burner. But this is your reminder not to wait until itâs too late.
Make Sleep Non-Negotiable
I always tell my clients the secret to re-energising is the "Power of Eight before Ten." Aim to be in bed by 10 pm and get yourself a full eight hours of sleep.
Take a Creativity Day
I encourage my private clients to take a full day once a year to completely disconnect from digital distractions. Yes, that means no phones or laptops allowed!
Commit to Personal Coaching or Mentorship
December might be a hectic month, but it's also a great time to set clear intentions for the coming year.
Energise Through Socialising
As things slow down, take advantage of this period to reconnect with family and friends. Feel the energy boost that genuine social interactions offer, rather than viewing them as draining tasks you need to escape.
These five habits are my top recommendations for closing out the year strong and paving the way for an even better one to follow. The creativity day may require more time and commitment, but itâs worth the effort.
Iâd love to hear which habit youâll join me in adopting for an incredible end to the year. Hereâs to finishing strong and starting 2025 with vitality and purpose!

I love ticking things off my to-do list.
Finishing a project gives you this natural high, leaving you feeling satisfied and accomplished in your work.
But so many women I talk to feel like no matter how hard they work, they never get to the big, meaningful projects.
They feel busy all the time, theyâre caught up in shallow work and donât have the physical energy or mental capacity to hone in on the deep work.
A lot of women come to me asking, is it ADD? Is it brain fog? Why do I feel like Iâm constantly busy but getting nowhere?
There are plenty of productivity hacks out there but today Iâm exploring whatâs happening in your brain when it comes to performance and focus. More importantly, I'll share how you can leverage nutrition, dietary tweaks, and lifestyle changes to enhance your mental capacity.
Tracking Your Daily Activities
I recently embarked on a little experiment with some clients who were caught in this cycle of busyness without productivity. Together, we started tracking their daily activities in 30-minute increments over seven days. The results were astounding.
Addressing the Root Causes
So what can we do about it? For some clients, a simple boost in mental activity was achieved with supplements like L-theanine, an extract from green tea that enhances performance. However, for others, the brain's exhaustive state called for a deeper look into overall body wellness.
Addressing digestive health often reveals a web of connected symptoms, such as inflammation that disrupts brain function, leading to ADD-like or dementia-like symptoms. It's also crucial to regulate cortisol levels and blood glucose to prevent those energy crashes that commonly happen after lunch.
To finally start pushing the needle forward on those big projects, consider tracking your daily activities to highlight any patterns going on. From there, you can begin to see what dietary and lifestyle changes you might need to make.

Many of my clients come to me with chronic bloating, heartburn and reflux.
Theyâve tried everything from supplements and probiotics to meticulous dietary changes, but nothing seems to work.
They find themselves caught in a frustrating and extremely uncomfortable cycle and Iâve been there too!
It took me five years to find the answers to my severe bloating - it amazed me to discover that my digestive issues werenât the result of the food I was eating.
Gut work
Tackling digestive issues begins with thorough gut careâbalancing pH levels, getting rid of unwanted bacteria, nurturing good bacteria, and repairing the gut lining.
Reduce cortisol
Make thoughtful tweaks to your diet, sleep routine, and caffeine and sugar intake - anything that might contribute to your cortisol levels.
Hypervigilant Thinking
Mental stress is another key player, and is often overlooked. When weâre constantly overthinking our symptoms, it keeps us in a fight-or-flight state rather than the healing zone.
If youâre experiencing bloating or other digestive issues, have you tried looking beyond the usual dietary interventions?
Do you catch yourself in the cycle of overthinking and stressing about your symptoms and what remedy you can try next? This might be part of the problem.

Perimenopause can be a really challenging season. The hormonal changes occurring during this time can lead to depression, which affects everything from your energy levels to your career and relationships.
But what if I told you that a complete transformation is possible⊠and that it could happen faster than you think?
Typically, we recommend clients approach the program step by step, gradually implementing small habits to avoid overwhelm. However, Kim chose the accelerated path, tackling everything at once. By week two, Kim experienced a remarkable change.
My client, Kim, had tried every hormone replacement therapy drug known to man and joining the Buh-Bye Burnout program was her last resort. Today, Iâm sharing her journey as a testament to what can happen when you restore balance to your body.
Within two weeks, Kim reversed five years of depression and saved her marriage from the brink of divorce. Hereâs what we focussed on:

For years, I felt like I was responsible for my client's health. It was all up to me. And without me and my expertise, they wouldnât succeed.
It took me a while to realise that this wasnât helping them at all. In fact, it was perpetuating a drama cycle. I was the rescuer, thinking it was completely up to me to swoop in and solve their problems. And by doing so, I was not only exhausting myself but also robbing my clients of being able to step into their own power.
The drama cycle is a psychological framework that often traps us in one of three roles: the rescuer, the victim, or the aggressor. We all step into these roles in various situations in life and until we become aware and make the conscious mindset shift to change this, itâs going to be very difficult to help others.
- The Rescuer: Driven by the desire to help, rescuers often take on too much, leaving others powerless to handle responsibilities themselves. This can lead to burnout and the feeling of being overworked and undervalued.
- The Victim: Their language tells the story: "I can't do it," "It's too hard," and "I feel helpless." Victims see themselves as unable to take control, often drowning in their own despair.
- The Aggressor: Aggressors blame others for the difficulties they find themselves. By doing so, they feel like they are taking control of the situation.
Recognising which role youâre playing is a crucial part of breaking the drama cycle. We all step into these roles subconsciously, so it's not about judgment but awareness. By understanding these patterns and why we fall into them, we can make conscious choices to change. Real transformation begins when we reject the victim mindset and choose empowerment over helplessness.

Do you feel like you're running on empty?
Itâs like all the responsibilities and pressures in your life have drained you of energy. You feel tired and irritable, youâve lost your passion for what you do, and no matter how many supplements you take, nothing seems to fix it.
If youâre a business owner or in a leadership role, this might sound all too familiar and you might be on the brink of adrenal fatigue.
When I first launched my clinical practice, I worked tirelessly to create a successful business, not knowing that fatigue was quietly building within me. I insisted on powering through until I reached the point of needing midday naps just to function. Anxiety gripped me, I was constantly worried about my finances and I could never disconnect from work.
Real healing doesn't come from just pushing through. It comes from crafting a thoughtful recovery plan that incorporates healthy habits and allows space for mental and physical recuperation.
If you're feeling the strains of burnout or adrenal fatigue, there is so much you can do to transform exhaustion into empowerment.

Most people are aware that consuming foods high in sugar will cause your blood glucose levels to spike. But did you know that stress and other lifestyle factors can do the same?
Big peaks and drops in glucose levels can lead to serious metabolic health issues and whilst people might not be aware this is happening in their body, they do feel the symptoms. Tiredness, brain fog, weight gain, irritability and poor sleep are just some of the signs that your glucose levels might be out of wack.
So how do you get your glucose levels under control?
One way that has revolutionised our approach to metabolic health is using a continuous glucose monitor (CGM): a device that keeps track of your glucose levels, even while you sleep.
In this episode, I share an overview of how continuous glucose monitors work and outline some of the amazing benefits:
Track how your body responds to certain foodsMake customised dietary changesBetter compliance due to instant feedbackIncrease of mindful eatingMonitoring with data insightsContinuous glucose monitors have changed the way we approach metabolic health. They reconnect us with our bodies, teach us how to make healthier decisions and support the maintenance of lean muscle mass as we age.
So, what do you think? Would you be open to giving one a try?

Have you noticed changes in your body since your mid thirties? Perhaps a little bigger on the waistline, more cellulite and less muscle tone? While it might be considered a normal part of ageing, it may be a sign that your metabolic health is suffering. The good news is that this is completely correctable and you can also prevent it.
Metabolic health refers to how efficiently our bodies manage energy. When our metabolic processes are firing on all cylinders, we feel physically and mentally capable of conquering anything that comes our way. However, the pressures of running a business or managing a team can often lead to habits that aren't exactly metabolism-friendly.
Think about those rushed fast food lunches, endless cups of coffee, or perhaps a glass of wine too manyâsound familiar?
Metabolic syndrome is a major contributor to chronic diseases such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Itâs also closely linked to insulin resistance, belly fat, and even mental health concerns because our brains need glucose to function efficiently. As women, particularly those in their forties and beyond, we become more susceptible to metabolic health issues due to hormonal changes that escalate insulin resistance.
Find out the steps you can take to improve your metabolic health.

Whether you're working for someone else or running your own business, it can be an emotional rollercoaster.
Projects can drag on longer than anticipated and the daily ups and downs can be relentless.
But here's the thing â while we all love our work, we need to ensure we're not allowing our professional stress to ruin the quality of our personal lives.
A healthy personal life is something we absolutely must have - itâs what nourishes our mind, body and soul. And so it canât be all work - there needs to be a balance.
Now, occasionally in our work and in our business, we're going to have stresses. Itâs inevitable. However, not all stress is bad. Sometimes stress can work for us, helping us to âstretch and grow. âWe can tap into our inner resources and find the strength to get to that next level.
But too much stress and no recovery? Not so great. Without any downtime or headspace away from it, âstress is extremely draining for the body. âWe find ourselves exhausted and burnt out.
So how do we strike a healthy balance that keeps us propelling forward, as well as staying in control of our minds and bodies?
Today, weâll explore the top 5 ways to prevent work stress from ruining your personal life.
If youâve experienced the feeling of taking work stress home with you, or if any of your habits are exacerbating your stress, I encourage you to try out these tips.
Iâd love to hear from you about which of these habits you can implement immediately to start living a more balanced and fulfilling personal life - make sure you comment below!

Have you ever caught yourself thinking, "If I could just get my head to shut up for five minutes, I'd feel so much better"? You're not alone.
That noisy mind is exhausting and women often express to me how they wish they could make it stop so they can finally relax.
What a lot of people donât realise is the impact of chronic overthinking on our stress levels, and our physical bodies too, including weight gain and hormonal imbalances.
Overwhelm stems from the mental load and directly affects our physical well-being. Symptoms such as anxiety, inability to handle stress, and brain fog might sneak up on you over the years, but they don't appear out of nowhereâthey're the result of prolonged mental stress.
Our minds are inherently designed to filter out noise, both literal and metaphorical. For instance, when you adapt to living near a bustling city or a noisy train line, your mind learns to block out the noise. Similarly, our brains can dismiss unnecessary thoughts if we let them.
It's not about actively trying to change your thinking or forcing positivity. Instead, itâs about being aware of your overthinking tendencies and choosing not to entertain them. Recognise that your mind can return to a clear state if you stop feeding it with endless thoughts.
Do you recognise when the noisy mind is taking over?
And if youâre feeling overwhelmed, do you think your stress is coming from your to-do list? Or is your mental load the problem?

Letâs be honestâŠlife is full of challenges. Thatâs never going to stop, especially if youâre in business. When the to-do lists are never ending and the demands keep rolling in, it can feel like the only option is to get through the day in a constant state of stress.
No time for a break, no time for rest. Your body just has to deal with being highly strung and anxious.
You might not be able to change the circumstances around you, but there is a lot you can do to help change the response in your body, even when life is chaotic.
1. Incorporate Cortisol-Reducing Foods
Cortisol is our main stress hormone, and prolonged high levels of cortisol can affect everything from mental function and mood to metabolism and sleep. Certain foods can help reduce cortisol, including carbohydratesâyes, even high Glycemic Index (GI) carbs are beneficial in this context.
2. Create Calendar Space
Build small pockets of decompression time into your dayâthe five-minute breaks where you can stretch, get some sunlight, or just breathe. These micro-breaks can significantly lower your stress hormones and help you feel more at ease.
3. Make a âDo Nowâ List
Most of us carry around a never-ending mental to-do list that adds to our stress. Simplifying your list to just a few essential tasks allows your mind to focus and function more freely, reducing that overwhelming sense of obligation.
4. Prioritise Sleep
Sleep is your body's natural way of healing and resetting. Aim for eight hours of sleep and try to get to bed by 10 p.m.
5. Cultivate a Clear State of Mind
A noisy, over-analytical mind triggers the release of stress hormones like cortisol and adrenaline. On the other hand, a clear state of mind fosters the ability to think rationally, problem-solve and find the solutions you need.
You canât control everything that happens in life and business, but you can be proactive to equip your brain and body to deal with stress.
Have you ever thought there's nothing you can do because your life is so chaotic?

Weâve all had those stressful periods where the pressure is on, deadlines are creeping up and the demands of work leave us feeling drained and exhausted.
While you might think the only answer is your next holiday, there are practical ways you can boost your emotional wellbeing to not only manage your emotions but also make a positive impact on your results and overall effectiveness as a business owner or leader.
Many clients I work with have been on the brink of burnout, overwhelmed and highly strung because of their inability to regulate emotions.
So, how can we navigate these challenges like top performers do? The secret lies in managing both our nutritional intake and our mental processes.
Expect to learn nutritional psychology tools for emotional wellbeing, including:
How lack of hydration affects your moodThe importance of balancing your blood sugar levelsWhy proteins are the building blocks for neurotransmittersHow to boost your brain through Omega-3 The role of mindset and how to stop overthinkingWhy sleep is essential for emotional wellbeingHave you noticed how your emotional balance affects the way you lead your team or solve problems in your business?

Would you say that youâre in love with your work?
A lot of people start their careers and businesses fuelled by enthusiasm but then life happens, they hit hard times, and the passion is gone.
Maybe youâre struggling financially, you feel like youâre always putting out fires or you simply donât find joy in what you do.
If you can relate to this sense of trudging through your day, Iâm putting out a challenge today to take a look at your thinking and how this impacts the way you feel about your work and the direct impact it has on your success and vitality.
A piece of research conducted by the Mayo Clinic revealed fascinating insights about how we perceive our work. People generally fall into three categories: those who see their work as a job, those who view it as a career, and those who consider their work a calling. If your motivation is mainly the financial reward, you see your work as a job. If you're driven by recognition and status, it's your career. And if you find deeper meaning and use your natural gifts, you view your work as a calling.
What aspect of your business, work, or life could you fall in love with?
What stories and habitual thoughts are holding you back?
Imagine the impact if you fell in love with it and how it would transform your results and the level of joy you experience in life.

If I had a dollar for every high achieving woman that comes to me with symptoms of thyroid dysfunction, Iâd be a very rich woman.
These women are feeling run down, they have low moods, high levels of anxiety, thinning hair and a host of other symptoms that they just canât seem to move through.
Theyâve already been to the doctor and have been told that itâs not their thyroid because their TSH levels are fine, but they donât know where else to look.
Unfortunately, thyroid dysfunction is extremely common, but you need to look further than your TSH levels to get to the bottom of it. Your pathology panel needs to include levels of T4, T3, TSH and your thyroid antibodies. This will give you a clearer picture and establish where your thyroid is at.
Once itâs been confirmed that you are suffering from thyroid dysfunction, the next step is to understand the causes of this dysfunction and where you can make changes to improve your health.
In this episode, I break down some common causes of thyroid dysfunction, and how to manage them.

A lot of people identify themselves as burnt out.
Theyâre tried, stressed out and unmotivated in their work and everyday life. For some, pushing themselves too hard and for too long has resulted in burnout. For others, while they may have some of the symptoms, theyâre actually experiencing something else altogether.
So what else could it be?
While itâs easy to jump to the conclusion that burnout is the cause of our problems, itâs important to understand that our stress response comprises various stages. It all starts with chronic stress, which leads to more severe conditions that have damaging effects on the nervous system.
But between these stages exists something called functional freeze.
Functional freeze is a maladaptive stress response where you can still complete your tasks yet feel stuck in a kind of âfreeze mode.â You have a sense of consistent heightened anxiety without the desire or energy to do anything. You might feel like youâre in limbo, functioning but not thriving.
So what are the signs of functional freeze, and how do we get ourselves unstuck if weâve found ourselves in its trap?
In this episode, Iâll break down the symptoms and causes of this stress response, and take you through strategies you can experiment with to overcome it.

I've encountered countless women struggling with iron deficiency and depletion.
Theyâre tired all the time, breathless when they shouldnât be, unable to focus and have nagging headaches that hang around for days. Being in a general state of fatigue all the time leaves them feeling unable to function properly.
It can be really debilitating.
So they head to their doctor, get the relevant blood tests and are prescribed iron supplements or if the levels are really low, an iron infusion could be recommended.
They start taking their supplements and wait for their levels to increase.
But despite being diligent with their iron supplements, they continue to face low iron levels and their energy levels arenât improving.
This cycle can be incredibly frustrating, mainly because iron is such an essential nutrient for our bodies. It carries oxygen around our body, and without enough of it, we're left feeling tired, unfocused, and weak.
In this episode, I break down why this is happening and what you can do about it.

Iâm a recovering ânice girlâ.
I often joke about it, but the reality is, I think Iâll be saying that for years to come.
Iâve spent a long time trying to unlearn the habits that come with people pleasing, yet somehow they still manage to show up in all different areas of my life. It impacts the way I lead in business, how I speak up in relationships and the compromises I make in my friendships.
Being a ânice girlâ is more than just being agreeable and polite. There's a hidden cost to people pleasing that not only hinders your potential, but takes you on a fast track to burnout
So how do we recover from ânice girl syndromeâ and quit trying to please everyone else to our own detriment?
We recognise that itâs a product of our socialisation that no longer serves us as adults. We get comfortable with discomfort, setting boundaries or having difficult conversations when necessary. Particularly as women, we ask for what we want, whether itâs a pay rise at work or unmet needs in our relationships.
I encourage you to take a step back and observe where these patterns show up in your life. They won't be isolated to one areaâthey'll be in your work, relationships, social settings and health choices.
Itâs time to challenge the ingrained habits and start living a more empowered, authentic life. Do you see these symptoms in yourself? And what steps are you taking to overcome them?

You know that hangry feeling when you havenât eaten for a while? You feel irritable, anxious and your brain struggles to concentrate. You just donât feel yourself.
When we think about mental wellbeing, we often think about the importance of meditation, yoga or getting enough sleep. But research has shown that your food choices might be making you feel anxious or depressed.
Today Iâm talking about nutritional psychology and how our brains can mimic symptoms like anxiety and depression simply because of the food we eat.
The Role of Glucose Control
Let's start with glucose control, the first major internal factor influencing our mental health. Our brain's main source of fuel is glucose, which it needs 24/7 to function properly. If our brain doesn't get a steady supply of glucose, or if there's dysregulation, the body releases stress hormones to compensate, which can amplify feelings of anxiety and depression.
The Gut-Brain Axis
The second major player is our gut health. Our digestive system and brain are connected by the gut-brain axis, or the vagus nerve. When our gut lining is compromisedâoften referred to as leaky gutâit triggers inflammation that affects the whole body, including the brain. This inflammation disrupts our neurotransmitter production, leading to symptoms of anxiety and depression.
The Impact of Overthinking
Many women tell me their minds just won't shut upâthey're constantly worried or overwhelmed. This habitual overthinking drains our neurotransmitters, making it difficult for our brains to regulate mood, leading to heightened anxiety and depression.
We often get stuck in thought traps, spinning in analytical loops that keep stress hormones activated. This burnout can disrupt brain activity and further drain neurotransmitters essential for a balanced mood.
So next time youâre feeling a bit flat, think about what fuel youâve been putting into your body. It might simply be a matter of needing to tweak your food choices or quieting the mind to help regulate your body and get back to feeling yourself again.

Do you find yourself obsessing over your weight, constantly judging how you look in the mirror? Or maybe youâre often stressed about how you feel, worrying about symptoms that wonât go away.
If this sounds familiar to you, you could be suffering from one of two things: weight anxiety or health anxiety. It could even be both.
Health anxiety is a common issue I see amongst my clients, who often work themselves into a state about the symptoms theyâre experiencing. They could be suffering from constant fatigue or chronic pain that wonât let up, unable to shift their focus from what seems to be going wrong. They have anxiety about anxiety.
I get it - itâs an awful feeling to be unhappy with how your body is performing, and troubling when the answer isnât easily found.
However, I have to break it to you: your anxiety could actually be making things worse.
Today, Iâm talking about hypervigilance and the extremely damaging effects it can have on the mind and body. Weâll explore how this relentless over-focus and worry can actually exacerbate a problem instead of alleviating it.
Iâll take you through its ability to disrupt hormonal balance, particularly affecting systems like the thyroidâa gland that plays a crucial role in regulating our metabolism and body weight.
While there are no hard and fast strategies to escape a cycle of negative thinking, weâll talk about a vital step on your journey towards breaking free from stress: finding acceptance for the current state youâre in.
I know it seems impossible not to feel at war with your body when itâs letting you down, but Iâve seen firsthand in my clients how a mindset shift can begin to alter someoneâs physical state.
Take a step back and remember youâre doing the best you can with what you have. A bit of self-love will help bring clarity and trigger those precious chemicals in our brains that keep us relaxed, rational and able to handle whatever comes our way with confidence.
Remember, acceptance doesnât mean giving up; it means reducing the mental resistance and making space for genuine healing.
