Are you going round in circles trying to
work out why you’re not feeling well? Are you suffering with a dry, itchy skin
condition such as eczema or psoriasis, your allergies out of control and
basically your autoimmune system is way out of whack?
You could be suffering because of the many
health issues associated with leaky gut syndrome. Your digestive tract is like a net that has
lots of small holes in it that keep what shouldn’t go into your blood stream out.
When those holes get bigger unfortunately gluten, bad bacteria and undigested
food breaks out and starts to cause damage to your health.
The problem with leaky gut syndrome is it
not only has seriously negative impact on your health, it has a massive effect
on your quality of life. This is hugely
detrimental not only to your physical health, but also your mental health because
you feel incredibly low, ill and tired.
As holistic health care professionals we
know that the social impact is just as damaging as the physical impact; you
don’t feel like going out and mixing with friends, you literally don’t have the
energy to do anything that may even feel like fun and this vicious cycle seems
to never end. With leaky gut syndrome
the leakage leading from the gut area is literally polluting your body and
could be showing up in a number of different ways.
How
to Stop the Rot

stops the rot. We are all about putting
the balance back into your life and that takes more than a one prong
approach. Each step or part of the treatment
plan works together for your optimal gut health so let’s look at some of the
more generic actions you can take and of course, when you need extra care come
and visit your professional holistic health professional.
- Get rid
of the bad foods and habits in your diet.
We all know too much sugar is bad for us, so start to eliminate it
as much as you can. Too much of the wrong fats are also detrimental to
your health so take a good hard and long look at what your eating and
drinking. Too many preservatives in
our food is damaging our health so eat organic and eat green as much as
you can.
- Repair
your health gut problems with recommended supplements. There are some wonderful supplements out
there that with a healthy diet will help your body heal and be revitalised. We always recommend getting specialist
advice from a qualified naturopath.
- Go pro
with probiotics. What a clever set
of live good bacteria (not the bad ones) and microorganisms they are and
they taste great too! Some top
probiotic foods include: live cultured yoghurt, miso soup, sauerkraut,
kefir and kombucha. Probiotics are

Hi I’m Serina, I am a medical herbalist and naturopath.
I began creating skincare with my sister when I was 9 years old, trying our best to make wonderful smelling perfumes, however sadly for us they never quite came out the way we envisioned!
The love for making my own skincare however grew and through my teen years I made all of my own hair and body masks and what ever else I could find recipes for.
By my late teens-early twenties, I was working in a natural skin care shop helping the customers and training the other staff in the benefits of essential oils for therapeutic purposes and the beneficial uses in skincare.
I continued to follow my passion by making oil based skincare in 2006 that I used throughout my pregnancy, and this created the basis of the products I sell today.
In my late twenties I decided to return to school and complete my Bachelor of Natural Medicine, qualifying me to become a naturopath and a medical herbalist. Partly I did this to continue my love of natural skincare but also to help people with a holistic approach to their health.
Today with my long-time passionate love affair with natural skincare, I incorporate helping people gain insights towards incorporating better nutrition into their life. I show them how important it is to support your internal organs, as well as your skin. I now see clients as a Naturopath and Medical Herbalist helping people explore the possibilities of what glowing health internally and externally is really about.
My passion still lies with skin, but now it includes the link with digestive health.
I hope you enjoy my products as much as I do, and if you would like to book a Naturopathy or Medical Herbalist appointment to help support your body to optimal health please contact me.
