One question that I often get asked in clinic is; In a world filled with chaos, stress and change, how do we stay calm?
Even if it is not the world events that are effecting you, but other matters closer to home such as family issues, financial pressures, relationship patterns, or even stress in you job or career.
You see, there will always be some kind of external stress occurring in your life, if you are here on Earth in this time and you are a human being, you will experience stress, trauma and chaos.
However, it is the way in which you choose to absorb this stress that is the deciding factor of how it will or will not effect you.
Your body is an energetic being, and energy is made of a tone of frequencies.
You will naturally draw in to you that of the same frequency in which your body is vibrating at.
So ideally, you create the calm inside your inner world first, and then you will experience the calm from the outside world.
This does’t mean that the outer world chaos will go away. No, unfortunately there will always be some kind of imbalance in your surroundings. However, your ability to cope and to stay calm amongst the chaos will become much easier as you address the tension from within your body.
Every part of your body holds energy, right down to the smallest of particles inside the centre of every cell.
This includes the microbiota that is inhabiting your gut, which is one of the main reasons why I work with gut health.
Your gut effects your mind, which effects your moods, which effects how you cope with stress.
Each species of the microbiome in your gut holds its own frequency.
This makes up the pH levels of your gut environment, which will determine which species of microbiome get to thrive and which ones cannot survive.
Stress changes your pH levels.
Stress changes your gut flora.
Your gut flora determines how well you cope with stress.
And the cycle continues.
A regular gut cleanse is essential for keeping your gut microbiome healthy.
As well as addressing the inner conflicts that are contributing to a lower vibrational frequency in your body, which can be resolved through my intuitive holistic therapy session.
By resolving unprocessed traumas, you can shift the frequency in your body, thus reducing your stress levels, thus changing the pH levels of your gut environment, and by default your body will be able to cope better with external conflicts, leading to the calm within.
It’s becoming more and more well-known that most physical diseases originate in the gut due to the fact that an imbalance of your gut microbiota will interfere with with multiple metabolic processes and neural communication pathways.
One of the biggest links to this is that a large part of your immune system is housed in your gastrointestinal digestive tract (GIT).
Up to 70-80% of your immune cells are in your GIT, inclusive of innate immune cells (DCs, macrophages and innate lymphoid cells), adaptive immune cells (T cells, B cells and plasma cells), and intestinal epithelial cells.
The gut microbiota that resides in your gut is directly linked to the well-being of your immune system. They can provide essential benefits to your health by regulating immune homeostasis or they can cause immune dysregulation, leading to auto-immune disease.
When you have psychological stress in your external environment, this activates your hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal axis (HPA axis), which in simple terms means that your body goes into a state of a dominant sympathetic nervous system, or better known as your fight or flight response.
The overactive HPA axis leads to an imbalance of microbiota (dysbiosis) in your gut due to the release of stress hormones, inflammation and autonomic alterations.
Dysbiotic microbiota influences the immune system sitting around the gut lymphoid tissue which in turns promotes an inflammatory response that originates in the enteric nervous system (gut) and moves up the vagus nerve and all the way to the immune system in the brain known as the microglial cells.
When the microglia become proinflammatory, they promote neuroinflammation, which increases the risk of developing anxiety or depression.
Gut Microbiota and Auto-Immune Disease
Studies have linked certain gut microbes to auto-immune disease in which the immune system mistakenly attacks the body’s own tissue.
This can occur as a result of gut permeability (leaky gut), whereby the lining of the gut can become inflamed and therefore leading to a weakened mucosal lining in which large food particles and microbiota can prematurely leak through the intestinal walls.
The immune system doesn’t recognise these particles and perceives them as predators thus commencing an attack in order to protect the body from them.
This leads to a compromised immune system and may develop into an auto-immune condition.
Auto-immune conditions can be managed and treated in a naturopathic way. This includes the use of herbs, supplements and a range of strain specific probiotics.
However, these recommendations can vary from person to person as the make up of our individual gut microbiota can be quite vast and unique.
For this reason, I provided online consultations to assess your individual needs and give you the best treatment protocol suited to you.
The Vagus nerve is the tenth cranial nerve and is also known as the wondering nerve as it wonders through so many of your internal organs.
These neural fibres stem from your brain through your lungs and heart, your liver, stomach, spleen, kidney’s and both the large and small intestines. So as you can see it is a vitally important part of your communication system in your body.
This important structure is responsible for a number of biological processes in your body, some of which include regulating your breathing and heart rate, altering blood vessel diameter, certain reflex actions such as coughing, sneezing, swallowing and vomiting, and of course regulating digestion and your parasympathetic nervous system, also known as your rest and digest rate.
The Vagus Nerve is a major part of the gut-brain connection. It is a bi-directional current of vital communication between your gut and your brain which stems from not only the enteric nervous system, but the microbiota as well.
Through the Vagus Nerve, sensory information is sent up to the nuclei (clusters of neurons) in the amygdala oblongata (the emotion centre of the brain), and from here motor impulses are sent down to the digestive system.
It is no wonder that there is a link between the gut and the brain influencing our moods, with a direct highway of nerve fibres sending messages influenced by the microbiota in your gut to the emotion centre of the brain.
Vagal Tone
The tone of your vagus nerve, or the strength of this nerve, has a direct link with it’s ability to regulate stress and emotions, as well as it’s ability to regulate metabolism, and immune responses (including inflammation). When there is a lack of tone in the vagus nerve, we see an increase in anxiety, depression, stress, difficulty concentrating, and inflammation.
Some ways in which the tone of your vagus nerve can be compromised includes chronic stress, gut dysbiosis (an imbalance in your microbiota), viral infections, inflammation, obesity, or abdominal surgery.
Increasing vagal tone is associated with an ability to better cope with stress and other mood disorders, as well as a reduction in inflammation and symptomatic relief from many digestive issues.
Having a daily routine which incorporates self-care practices, meditation, stretching, gentle exercise and a balanced diet is a great place to start. By giving yourself just one hour a day, you can increase the tone and strengthen your vagus nerve and restoring balance to your digestion and emotional well-being.
There are also numerous herbs, supplements and specific probiotic strains that have been shown to assist with strengthening vagal tone.
However, these recommendations can vary from person to person as the make up of our individual gut microbiota can be quite vast and unique.
For this reason, I provided online consultations to assess your individual needs and give you the best treatment protocol suited to you.
Anxiety would have to be one the most common emotional states that I see in my clinic, and that is in general, a driving state of being in this world we live in today.
Very few people have learnt to master this emotional state, and yet it is something that we all experience from time to time. For many of us it is a daily occurrence and something we have been living with for most of our lives.
So what is anxiety and why is it such a big part of our lives today?
I will endeavour to answer these questions from three different perspectives, the physical, lifestyle and from the perspective of the soul.
Physical
The first perspective is about our physiology, that is how our body and our biology can contribute to anxiety being such a common emotional state.
There are two main factors that are involved with the body’s mental health and that is of our gut health and our neurology.
If your gut is not in a healthy state with lot’s of beneficial microbiome, which is also anti-inflammatory and immune enhancing, then the microbes living in your gut are contributing to the anxiety you feel. You see, it’s the bacteria in the gut that communicate with the brain via the vagus nerve. If there is an overgrowth of nasty opportunistic or pathogenic bacteria present then they are sending nasty thoughts and emotions directly to your brain, which can lead to all kinds of emotional states, especially anxiety.
The second factor is your neurology, this is your individual make up of your brain chemistry and just how balanced it is or is not. Our neurotransmitters are derived from amino acids which are found in the foods we eat. Each neurotransmitter has it’s own individual journey as to how it is anabolised into form, however, if your body is not receiving the correct amount of nutrients that it needs to produce the amount of neurotransmitter’s to relax your nervous system, then you will experience anxiety on a daily basis.
Lifestyle
The second perspective is lifestyle, the choices we make and how we live our daily lives.
There was once a time when humanity did not have nearly the amount of stress we see in today’s world. We lived a much simpler life, with less technology, less ‘work’ and less ‘bus-i-ness’. Spending more time in nature and much more time just ‘being’.
During these times, there was a whole lot less anxiety than what we experience today.
So lifestyle is about how you are living your day to day life and how that contributes to the anxiety you’re feeling.
It’s about the foods you choose to eat, the shows you choose to watch, and the way you choose to spend most of your time.
How often to you go into nature, deep in the forest or by a waterfall or creek?
How often do you take some time to just stop and appreciate all that is around you?
Are you breathing deeply into your body each second of the day, or do you often forget to breath and realise you’ve spent the last 30 days (or 30 years) breathing into your throat.
Quality of life is essential for managing anxiety, taking those precious moments each day to really connect with yourself and go deeper into the being-ness of who you truely are.
Soul
The third is from a Soul perspective, how our inner most part of our being is gently calling us home.
When is the last time you were immersed in the silence of your inner most being?
The deeper parts from within, that gentle nudge, that whisper.
Your Soul essence is a part of you and it is buried deep within your being, waiting for you to connect, wanting to share with you all the secrets it holds that are all about who you truely are.
When we get caught up in the ‘bus-i-ness’ of life, we lose this sacred connection.
Quite often the anxiety your feeling is a reflection of this disconnect.
And this shows up in my client sessions time and time again.
When we just simply stop and listen. Really hear what is not being said, but felt. The anxiety dissipates and we are reunited home with all of who we truely are.

Stress is a part of everyday life, it is necessary to give us the drive we need to get things done.
However, when it comes to chronic stress, this is something that we have come all to familiar with as a part of a normal way of being.
Stress is defined as a strain or overexertion on our bodies, and our minds.
It is associated with feelings and actions we all know too well, the overwhelm, sleepless nights, excessive thinking, emotional releasing, outbursts, anger, frustration, helplessness, constant worry, nausea, panic and uncontrollable crying.
While these are all outward expressions of stress, it is also relevant to address the internalisations of it as well, for those whom tend to keep the feelings bottled up inside and perhaps not to show a physical exertion, and yet are just as effected by the underlying health issues this can have on the mind and body.
Stress has a huge impact on our physical and emotional body. It effects our gut flora and in turn therefore effects our mental well-being.
The microbiota in our guts are directly linked to our mental and emotional health. As our body breaks down the gut microbiome, it releases by products called metabolites. These metabolites, along with the microbiota, communicate with the brain via the vagus nerve.
When we have a healthy selection of microbiota in our guts then we can send healthy and harmonious messages to our brain.
However, if our gut flora has more of imbalance and therefore is dominated by a higher selection of dysbiotic flora, it can send stress signals to the brain and lead to emotional and mood disorders such as anxiety, stress and depression.
Which in turn leads to more dysbiotic gut flora, and the cycle continues.
Long term stress and the HPA axis
The HPA axis involves the hypothalamus and the pituitary gland in the brain, as well as the adrenal glands. It is responsible for many processes in the body including digestion, sexuality, immune response and how you handle stress. It is also crucial for the coordination of your endocrine system with your nervous system, specifically your fight or flight response.
In short summary, when you perceive something to be a danger or a threat, action potentials in the brain trigger neuron’s in your hypothalamus to release a peptide hormone CRH. This hormone takes a short trip through the blood stream to the anterior pituitary gland and binds to a receptor on the target cell. This triggers the release of a hormone called ACTH which travels through the blood to your adrenal glands. This then triggers the release of a frenzy of different ‘freak-out’ compounds known as glucocorticoid and mineral corticoid hormones, simplified as cortisol. This activates the sympathetic nervous system which drives the body into what is known as the fight or flight response.
When your body is in the fight or flight response, a negative feedback loop is triggered in the hypothalamus to switch off the release of stress hormones and begins the slow process of down regulating the nervous system back into a calm parasympathetic state of rest and digest.
Long-term stress however, blocks this negative feedback loop reaction and switches off the HPA axis which in turn making it near impossible to self-regulate back to a calm state with an elevation of stress hormones circulating through your system.
This results in a reduction of brain derived neurotropic factor and serotonin and an increase in glutamtergic action in the amygdala which is associated with increased symptoms of anxiety and depression.
What this means for your gut microbiome
The impact of the excess stress hormones in your body dysregulates motility in your gut lining which in turn alters the gut microbiota composition.
This then decreases your gut barrier integrity, a protective epithelial lining, which leave the gut susceptible to invasive pathogenic bacteria and parasites.
Visceral hypersensitivity will also increase under this pressure thus resulting in higher levels of pain in your internal organs such as cramping, stomach aches and other internal sensitivities.
Under these conditions, your gut will continue to multiply the wrong kind of gut microbiota that are thriving in an unhealthy environment, as your gut continues to cater the perfect conditions for them to thrive.
Overall, this will all lead to a case of gut dysbiosis that will in turn increases the pro inflammatory cytokins which further releases more stress hormones, and again, the cycle continues.
Understanding the composition of your gut flora is essential for beginning your healing journey. Different microbiota will thrive in a variety of different environmental and dietary conditions, and sometimes its not just as easy as taking a dose of antibiotics and/or probiotics to restore your GIT back to health long term.

When you hear the word “Detox” what immediately comes to your mind?
Do you feel restricted, like you can’t eat the foods or enjoy the lifestyle you like? Or do you feel excited to have a clean, clear body and mind?
In this day and age, we are exposed to toxins everywhere we turn. We inhale them in the air, consume them in our foods and even drink them in our water supply. And all that occurs while we are trying to be healthy!
So what are toxins?
Toxins are small molecules, peptides or proteins that are able to cause a certain level of disease or disorder to the body, either by direct contact or by tissue absorption.
They prevent the body from functioning correctly as they are capable of interacting with biological macromolecules such as enzymes and cellular receptors.
Your body is designed to continuously strive for a balanced state of equilibrium. Toxins are one of the major contributors which interfere with this, thus resulting in illness and disease.
A regular detox is vitally important to maintain a healthy body and mind.
{why detox? clearer mind.. deeper healing etc}
How Detoxing Effects Your Psyche
Is a foggy mind something that you experience often?
How about poor judgement, low concentration, cloudy thoughts, short attention span or a jumbled mind?
All of these symptoms are evidence that you may have an overload of toxins in your mind.
This can result from unprocessed trauma, an imbalance of the right microbiome in your gut, hormonal imbalance or severe stress.
All of which can be supported through giving your body a nourishing and cleansing detox, balancing the hormones and gut, and processing the unconscious disturbances deep in your psyche.
When we do the deep inner work, as in processing emotional states of being that may be buried deep in our subconscious mind, having a lighter and cleaner body can support you through much more efficiently.
And thus, once having a clean and clear body and mind, you will naturally feel more drawn to process all that has been locked away in your subconscious to open you up to a greater capacity to live a more fulfilled and abundant life.

Disbiosis is an overgrowth of bad bacteria in the gut, which can lead to disease and or mental and emotional imbalances.
The human body contains more than 10 times more bacteria cells than human cells, and over 100 times more bacterial genes than human genes.
The total weight of the microorganisms that make up the gut microbiota of a modern Western person contains around 2kg, so much so that this is now considered by some experts as seperate human tissue.
Your gut’s microbiota has a huge impact on physical, mental and emotional health.
Abnormalities in microbiome have been recognised in conditions such as IBS, chronic fatigue syndrome, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, and obesity.
Since discovering that some of the microbes in our body can modify the production of neurotransmitters found in the brain, it is becoming more common knowledge that the gut has a direct impact on sleep, moods, depression, anxiety and other neurochemical imbalances.
Disbiotic bacteria are non-health promoting bacteria that do not benefit the health of the host in any way at all.
Encouraging Dysbiosis
As with all living things, the bacteria in your gut rely on food to survive, and each different species of bacteria are accustomed to eating specific types of food.
Because the bacteria in your gut are going to feed off the foods you put in your body, what you feed your body is essentially linked to the health of your gut and therefore your entire body.
The real issue we face in modern times is that the Western diet is mostly focussed on foods that will encourage the growth of bad bacteria to flourish, and discourage the growth of the good probiotic bacteria that we need to thrive.
A diet that is high in refined sugars, overcooked saturated fats, carbohydrates from white flour and processed seed oils only feeds the bad bacteria, creating an overgrowth of disbiosis in the body.
In order to feed the good guys, we need to see a diet that is high in fresh leafy greens and vegetables, lean protein, omega 3 fats, probiotic containing foods, complex carbohydrates and lots of fibre.
The lack of dietary fibre in our Western diet actively discourages the growth of health-promoting probiotic bacteria.
In addition to all of this, these diets also contain the probiotic-killing use of pesticides, disinfectants, and antibiotic residue that is constantly being ingested with these foods which result in the perfect recipe for a weak microbiome. Specifically lacking in lots of different types of microbes (biodiversity).
The diseases that we see today such as heart disease, diabetes, obesity, strokes, autoimmune disease and cancers, were virtually unknown in hunter-gatherer societies, and the gut microbiome of those living in developing countries are far more diverse (2-3 times the mass) than those of a Western society.
The Three-fold Effects of Dysbiosis
Firstly, you miss out on the anti-inflammatory effects that a probiotic gut will give you.
Secondly, You are exposed to a multitude of toxic bacterial bi-products and inflammatory effects of a dysbiotic bacteria.
Thirdly, the product of fatty acids, which are fuel for the gut wall cells, is reduced and the function of the gut barrier becomes impaired. The transfer of toxic byproducts of bacterial sugar fermentation across the gut wall occurs and these chemicals end up in our bloodstream. This will not only make you feel unwell but it is also the underlying theory to the development of autoimmune disease. Which is also known as increased gut permeability or leaky gut.
Correcting the Effects of Dysbiosis
The good new is that it can be repaired and reversed.
Studying your gut diversity through a microbiome mapping test will give you an idea of the imbalance that might be present.
Knowing these imbalances is the first step to correcting them and encouraging the growth of a healthy bacterial colony.
My gut protocols will assist you to step through each stage of the gut healing process and guide you back to a healthy state of probiosis and overall physical and mental health.

Do you know someone who struggles to cope under pressure or stress? They may have quick mood swings, which appear to be out of their control. Or maybe they have extremely high anxiety levels, and find it difficult coping with stress of any kind.
If this describes either yourself or your loved ones, then there may be an underlying condition present known as Pyroluria, or pyrrole disorder.
What is Pyrrole Disorder?
Pyroluria, or Pyrrole disorder is a condition that is highly symptomatic under stressful situations. The physical manifestation is the overpopulation of hydroxyhaempyrollin (HPL) in the body. The excess HPL bind’s Zinc and Vitamin B6 tohether, which prevents it from being absorbed in the body, and instead are excreted in urine and hair.
HPL is a biomarker for oxidative stress, and is a neurotoxin. Stress of any kind will increase production of pyrrole/HPL, which in turn decreases Zinc and B6.
Signs and Symptoms
Pyrrole Disorder has many different signs and symptoms, which can vary from person to person. These can depend on the age of onset, severity, and other individual factors. Its most common feature is very poor tolerance of stress, and is usually exacerbated by stress. Some other features may include any of the following:
Irritability, moodiness, anger outbursts
Severe temper, short fuse sometimes violent
Slow to calm down but remorseful later
Depression
Anxiety
Above mood disorderes triggered by stressful events and growth spurts
Inability to tolerate stress
Insomnia/ a night person
Poor dream recall or recall of vivid, bizarre dreams only
Poor morning appetite, nausea, tendency to skip breakfast
Poor and deteriorating short term memory
Sensitivity to bright lights or loud noises, startle easily
Sensitivities to tags on clothes and textures of clothes e.g. wool
Sensitivities to textures of food and smell
Kids tend to be picky eaters
Adults tend to prefer spicy and flavoursome foods
Prominent morning sickness in pregnancy
Reading disorder/dyslexia/poor school performance if onset early
Behavioural disorders in children
Delayed puberty with growing pains if onset in childhood
Fascination with disaster
Unstable blood sugar / carbohydrate cravings
Sharp Stabbing Abdominal pain/stitches
Tendency for motion sickness
Physical Features
There may also be some common physical features associated with Pyrroles, including some of the following:
Premature greying or balding men
Dry Skin
Stretch marks
Acne
Short stature if onset in childhood
Fair hair/skin
Inability to tan/easy sunburn/ look paler than siblings
China doll appearance
Poor wound healing
Recurrent infections
White spots in fingernails, brittle weak nails
Cold hands and feet
Abdominal tenderness
Coarse eyebrows
Tremor
Abdominal obesity later in life, often start slender
Zinc is essential for 100’s of processes in the body and is particularly important for healing, immune function, digestion, neurotransmitter activation, physical growth, memory, insulin sensitivity and control of blood sugars, as well as DNA replication and over 200 different enzyme reactions in the body.
Zinc and B6 are essential for production of neurotransmitters such as serotonin (Our happy hormone), melatonin (Our sleep hormone), GABA (our relaxation hormone – our natural valium), and acetylcholine, which is important for memory.
They are also involved in production of our steroid hormones such as cortisol, and the conversion of oils in the body, the oils EPA/DHA and GLA are all found to be low in those with Pyrrole Disorder. These oils are damaged by oxidative stress.
Prevalence
The main biochemical feature is of severe Zinc and B6 deficiency. It’s no wonder that in todays society Pyrrole Disorder is on the rise and becoming more and more common, as the Zinc levels in Australian soils have become quite depleted, therefore it is not as readily available from our everyday crops and fresh produce. We are not getting anywhere near as much Zinc in our diets these days as we did many years ago.
Some foods containing high levels of Zinc include oysters, spinach, beans, mushrooms, Brazil nuts and pumpkin seeds. However, even if you consume a lot of these foods, you still may not be getting enough Zinc to cope with your Pyrrole levels from food alone.
Aetiology
Although the causes are not completely understood, there is a definitive genetic component. Family history can be very revealing. Age of onset can be very early, and many children with behavioural disorders/ADHD display a positive result when tested for Pyrrole Disorder.
Alternatively, the disorder may not manifest until later in life, this may be due to the amount of stressors a person has suffered. There is also evidence that leaky gut may be a contributing factor and it is known that stress worsens leaky gut, which just compounds things.
Comorbidity
Pyrrole Disorder is common to be associated with other mental health and behavioural conditions including depression, anxiety behavioural disorders, bipolar disorders, schizophrenia, autism, alcoholism, downs syndrome, anorexia, and obesity.
Testing
Pyrrole Disorder is detected in a urine sample that is collected in a specific format at a pathology collection centre. The test is very light sensitive and is required to be frozen instantly and then carefully transported to the lab for further investigation.
The lab will test the urine, looking for the levels of HPL being excreted from the body. The higher the levels of HPL, the more severe the Pyrrole diagnosis will be.
Although our levels of HPL can vary according the amount of stress we are currently experiencing, it will always remain relatively consistent if left untreated.
For the most accurate Pyrrole reading, it is advised to stop all supplementation of Zinc and B6 supplements 3 days prior to testing your urine.
Treatment
Pyrrole Disorder is essentially treated with nutritional supplements, and the doses may vary depending on current life events.
It’s important to seek professional advise when determining the diagnosis and treatment of Pyrrole disorder, as Zinc supplements can be quite toxic if taken unnecessarily for long periods of time, and subsequently, the dose of a supplement over the counter may not have the adequate levels required to treat a Pyrrole condition effectively.
Response to treatment can be rapid and dramatic. Some patients report feeling better within days, most notice a benefit by 2 weeks, with significant improvements within 2 months. Symptoms will usually reoccur if treatment is stopped. Doses may be able to be reduced particularly when life stressors are low, but may need to be increased if the patient is under any significant stress.
A Plan For The Future – Nurturing the “Sensitives”
Melanie believe’s in looking at the whole picture when it comes to any kind of physical manifestation in the body. She believes that there are underlying emotional aspects to every condition, and addressing these is just as important as the presenting signs and symptoms.
The children that are coming through these days are much more sensitive and some are finding it more difficult to cope with the societal norms and expectations that are placed on them, at any age throughout their life. Along side working with gut and nutrient protocol’s, Melanie also looks into strategic behavioural support strategies as well as the overall wellbeing of the individual person.
These children/adults are often misunderstood by society and thus sometimes may be labelled and categorised as “different”. In reality, all they really need is someone to understand them and help give them a chance to translate their unique and individual expression of how they experience life.
