How exactly do I rebuild and repair my gut so that I can poop daily!? Prebiotics! Although I wish there was a magic pill to get you pooping, it actually requires a little more work.

Overcoming PCOS, thyroid removal & acne, Christine is one of the special ones! I've worked with thousands of women, but it’s the ones with unmatched resilience and soul that stay with you forever.

Watching & supporting Christine inside The Root Cause Program has been my pleasure, and hearing about the changes she has made in learning to love her body, eat more carbs & train enduro ( YES GIRL) makes me so proud! I can't wait for you to hear this story of someone who has/had “tried it all” and been battling the medical system for years, even being told to put ON more weight just so that she could “qualify” for weight loss surgery, rather than looking for the root cause…

Please share your story if it is similar, I’d love to hear about it!

Last episode for the year, and wow what a year it's been. Reflecting on the business, health, and mindset highs and lows from this, I can say with complete conviction - 2023 was a GREAT year. So many hard and big learning curves for me but I am so proud of the things I have overcome, the lessons I have learnt, the people I have helped and the way I have shown up for the people in my life. 

Here’s to growing as a person and a practitioner - because they are one and the same. What I used to think were my weakest links, are the best things about me - my empathy, my sensitivity and my desire to heal others. I am excited to hit 30 next year, continue to grow my program and set roots for the first time EVER! Thanks for doing 2023 with me, I appreciate you all.

Leaky gut, leaky skin? Is it a thing? If you struggle with skin concerns such as eczema, my biggest tip is to get stool testing done, regardless of gut symptoms. The biggest concern I see in my skin clients is low good gut flora, raised inflammatory markers, low butyrate and pathogenic bacteria or yeast that let off toxins into the body, causing systemic inflammation. 

In this episode, I break down some of the common treatment strategies for eczema and things you can implement to heal a leaky gut barrier.

Let’s talk about stress babby! DHEA, cortisol, PCOS, acne, low hormones.. How and why are they linked? In this episode, I cover a tiny life update, stress management and how PTSD or a highly stressful life can impact our hormonal picture.

 Managing high DHEA or cortisol levels can be hard and understanding your hormone picture can be soooo confusing - this is why I always test and don't guess, so that we have a clear treatment pathway when supporting your hormones! 

Some things we can do to support our hormones include; herbs, reishi, green tea, flaxseeds, protein intake and gratitude journaling. If you have been struggling with your hormones, please reach out.

Meet Gemma Hanley!
