5 Reasons You're Bloated
5 REASONS YOU'RE BLOATED (that has NOTHING to do with the food you’re eating)
8 / NOVEMBER / 2023
SHEREE'S HEALTH DIARIES
Do you often find yourself feeling bloated, regardless of what foods you've eaten? If so, you're not alone. Bloating can be frustrating and uncomfortable, but it's essential to realise that there's often more to it than just certain foods triggering your discomfort.
The good news is that many of my clients discover relief after addressing the root causes of their bloating. Let's dive deeper into why you might be experiencing bloating…
CAUSES OF BLOATING (other than food)
1. Stress: stress plays a more significant role in our digestive health than we might think. When we're under high stress, our body shifts its focus away from digestion and into "fight or flight" mode. This response is meant to prepare us for danger, not for digesting a meal. As a result, digestion slows down significantly, leading to gas and bloating.
2. SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth): SIBO is a condition where there's an overabundance of bacteria in the small intestine, a place where there usually shouldn't be many bacteria. These bacteria ferment food and create gas. This overproduction of gas can leave you feeling bloated and uncomfortable.
3. Not Chewing Your Food: digestion begins in the mouth. The process of breaking down food starts when we chew, mixing it with saliva. This not only makes it easier for the stomach to digest but also allows for better absorption of nutrients. When we don't chew our food thoroughly, larger food particles enter the stomach. These larger particles are more challenging to digest, resulting in gas buildup and bloating.
4. Low Stomach Acid: adequate stomach acid is essential for breaking down the food we eat. It's the first step in the digestive process. When stomach acid is low, it's like trying to start a car with a nearly empty gas tank. The body isn't fully prepared for the food entering the stomach, which can slow down digestion and leave undigested food sitting in the digestive tract for hours. This undigested food contributes to bloating.
5. Dehydration: proper hydration is essential for healthy digestion. When there's an imbalance of fluids and electrolytes, it can lead to constipation. Constipation means that food moves more slowly through the digestive tract, leading to that bloated feeling.
FINAL THOUGHTS
If you're tired of dealing with bloating and want to address the root causes, we're here to help. We understand that it's more than just about what you eat; it's about how your body processes it.
Comment 'BLOAT,' and let's work together to make relief from bloating a reality. Say goodbye to that uncomfortable, frustrating bloated feeling and embrace a healthier, happier digestive system.

The Science Behind Gut Healing And Hormones
THE SCIENCE BEHIND GUT HEALING & HORMONES
12 / JULY / 2023
SHEREE'S HEALTH DIARIES
Did you know that the health of your gut plays a crucial role in maintaining hormonal balance and boosting your energy levels? Let's dive into the fascinating science behind this powerful connection.
THE 5 CONNECTIONS EXPLAINED
1️⃣ Gut Microbiota: The trillions of bacteria residing in your gut, known as the microbiota, have a profound impact on hormone production and metabolism. A balanced and diverse gut microbiota is essential for optimal hormonal function.
2️⃣ Inflammation and Hormones: Poor gut health can lead to chronic inflammation, which disrupts hormone production and signalling. By healing the gut and reducing inflammation, you can restore hormonal balance and reclaim your energy.
3️⃣ Nutrient Absorption: A healthy gut allows for proper absorption of essential nutrients, including those needed for hormone synthesis and regulation. Nourishing your gut with nutrient-dense foods ensures your hormones have the building blocks they need.
4️⃣ The Gut-Brain Axis: The gut and brain communicate through a bidirectional pathway called the gut-brain axis. A balanced gut positively influences brain health, mood, and stress response, all of which impact hormonal balance and energy levels.
5️⃣ Gut-Immune System Connection: The gut houses a significant portion of your immune system. A strong immune system supports overall health, including proper hormonal function and sustained energy throughout the day.
FINAL THOUGHTS
Understanding the intricate relationship between gut health, hormones, and energy empowers you to take proactive steps towards healing your gut and revitalising your well-being.
Remember, nurturing your gut is a powerful investment in your hormonal harmony and limitless energy! 🌱💫

Fun fact: the gelatin in these is amazing to support gut health and repair gut lining, so these gummies are a win win! Check out the recipe below :)
INGREDIENTS
- 1 cup mango juice/blitzed frozen mango
- 1 cup coconut cream

- 3 tbsp. stevia
METHOD
(as adapted from @boobtofood)
- Add all the liquid to a medium saucepan

- In the last minute or so add the stevia and make sure this is well mixed through
- Remove from heat and pour into silicone moulds (I got mine from @littlegiantsstore and found using a tear dropper helped massively too. Alternatively you can use a container as long as it lifts out easily.
- Pop in the fridge for 2+ hours for it to set
- Remove from moulds or cut them up (if in a container) and keep refrigerated for up to 14 days. Enjoy!

7 Daily Habits For A Healthy Gut
7 DAILY HABITS FOR A HEALTHY GUT
15 / MARCH / 2023
SHEREE'S HEALTH DIARIES
WANT TO KNOW HOW TO HAVE A HEALTHY GUT AND KEEP IT THAT WAY?
It’s probably not what you’d think, and some of these may surprise you with just how easy they are… Small things done consistently, is what makes the biggest difference!
HERE ARE MY TOP 7 DAILY HABITS FOR A HEALTHY GUT
- BOWEL MOVEMENT(S)
Having a daily bowel movement - this is a non-negotiable to keep the gut clean and healthy, it means you are eliminating toxins and your detoxification pathways are open (and if this isn’t happening for you, DM me!) - BONE BROTH
A morning mug of bone broth before I start my day helps line my gut with nutrients to support a healthy gut lining and feed my good bugs! There are so many benefits of bone broth, read about it here - BELLY BREATHING
Deep belly breathing to activate my rest, digest, reproduce and repair system (PNS), if you are living in fight or flight (often unknowingly), you will be chest breathing. This takes blood away from your digestive system and can actually lead to bloating, indigestion, and other gut issues. - EXERCISE
Regular movement = regular movement, and I mean that quite literally, get your body moving so your bowels do too! Even if you are just going for a 30 minute walk daily it will really support your gut and how it functions! - PROBIOTICS
I personally choose to take probiotics on the regular to keep growing the diversity and richness of my gut microbiome (aka increase the amount + quality of my good bugs). But quality is important… if you aren’t sure where to start, DM me! - FIBRE
Fibre is the toothbrush for your gut, you don’t want any plaque building up (yes that happens in your gut, not just your teeth)... So adding a regular serve of leafy greens and other non-starchy veggies to main meals keeps you regular - WATER
Drinking 3L + of water each day keeps your body hydrated so the cells can communicate effectively, and it also keeps your stools flowing regularly, we aren’t a fan of constipation around here!
*BONUS HABIT* I have also been loving the addition of @mitchells.nz gut supporting teas, having ‘digest well’ in the morning and ‘digest soothe’ before bed to help me unwind!
FINAL THOUGHTS
All of these habits continue to make sure that I am managing my gut health, keeping my body in a state of flow and allowing my body to keep having a regular healthy bowel movement each day so I can absorb my nutrients and have the energy to thrive!
What ONE habit are you going to add to your day to help your gut health? Let me know in the comments below!

Clover Ferments Review
CLOVER FERMENTS TONIC REVIEW
30 / NOVEMBER / 2022
SHEREE'S HEALTH DIARIES
Earlier this year I felt like something was really off in my gut, I was tired often and my digestion had started to become *weird* - aka bloating, bowel movements were changing, and much to my poor partner's ears (and nose) I was very gassy!
So, I did what any functional nutritionist would do, and I completed a functional medicine stool test on myself - known as a complete microbiome mapping.
THE RESULTS
The results really didn’t surprise me considering how I was feeling, but essentially what it came back with was what’s termed dysbiosis - an imbalance of good and bad bugs in the gut - more bad than good.
It turns out I not only had too much bad bacteria, and a fungal overgrowth, but a parasite too, just to make things interesting I suppose haha! But one thing that I will mention that is often overlooked, is the other thing the test clearly showed…
I had far too few good bugs, which was only making the dysbiosis worse.
So I set myself up on a protocol once I was back from my holiday to dive head first into a 12 week reset (you can find the exact protocol I used here). I took myself through a number of dietary changes, added in supplements and enhanced my detoxification pathways before embarking on a parasite cleanse (which I am finishing up at the moment… also included in the protocol mentioned above).
But whilst I was doing all the cleansing, I had to do something about the rebuilding, because if I just emptied the bad bugs from their home, and left it empty, they would very easily find their way back and take up host again… hence the good bugs needed to be added!
Enter @cloverferments … They happened to see I was on my journey and kindly gifted me their tonics to try for 4 weeks to help me in my healing!
HOW I REBUILT MY GUT MICROBIOME
When it comes to rebuilding gut health after dysbiosis, the most important thing to start with is adding in a probiotic, which fortunately @cloverferments tonics are packed full of, as well as digestive enzymes, which was a perfect addition to my protocol.
One thing I will add in here, which I found to be AMAZING, is that Clover Ferments are low histamine (a topic for a whole other blog), but as someone who like many with gut issues, is somewhat histamine intolerance, it had my mind at ease that I wouldn’t be boosting histamine levels like other fermented foods would.
In fact I took a break from all other fermented foods during my healing for this reason.
I am still currently taking the tonics as I loved the taste and how they supported my gut health alongside the protocol I was following. I started noticing my bowels becoming more regular again, digestion improved, bloating eased (still working on this, but it’s a process) and the eczema on my head that had flared up as a result of the fungal overgrowth started to subside
I know the journey is not a short one when it comes to repairing your gut health which is why I am going to keep the tonics in place for the foreseeable future. I loved how easy it was to drink, the fact I could combine all 3 (I often struggle to remember to take things multiple times a day), and the beetroot flavour was definitely my favourite!! (just watch the splatter haha)
If you’d like to give these tonics a try for yourself, they have kindly given me a discount code for you to use, just pop in ‘SHEREE10’ at checkout.
The tonics are also known to support a reduction in food sensitivities and intolerances which is something else I have struggled with due to my coeliac disease, and I have just last week sent a test off to see if there are any improvements in those as a result of the tonics and protocol! So watch this space!
If you have any questions about the tonics check out the Clover Ferments website here, or DM them on @cloverferments on Instagram. If you have any questions for me about anything I have mentioned also don’t hesitate to reach out here too!
Yours in Health & Happiness,

This dinner is super family friendly, as well as being super friendly for your gut! By now I imagine you’ve heard all the benefits of bone broth (if you haven’t I have a blog here for you).
Adding bone broth into a meal not only elevates the taste, but the health of your gut due to the boost of collagen and essential amino acids to help the healing and repairing of your gut!
This recipe was taken directly from my 4 Week Gut Reset Recipe Book, if you want to check out more recipes and ways to reset and support your gut health check it out here!
In the meantime, give this recipe a try!
INGREDIENTS
- 250g sirloin/eye fillet steak
- 100g button mushrooms, sliced
- ¼ cup coconut cream
- 1 clove of garlic, mashed
- 150g potatoes
- 1 tbsp. olive oil
- ¼ cup bone broth, (as needed) - you can use 1 tbsp. of powdered bone broth or paste if you prefer
- salt + pepper to taste
METHOD
- Place potatoes and ½ tbsp. salt in a large saucepan, add water to cover by 2cm, and bring to boil over high heat.
- Reduce heat to medium and simmer until potatoes are tender and a paring knife can be easily slipped in and out of potatoes, 18 to 22 minutes.
- Whilst the potatoes are cooking, in a large frying pan on medium heat, add olive oil and garlic, bring to a simmer before adding the steak
- Allow the steak to cook for about 5-8 minutes each side, depending how rare you like it, before removing it from the pan and setting aside to rest.
- Add the mushrooms to the pan and keep on medium heat, browning the mushrooms, before adding the coconut cream and stirring through for no more than one minute.
- Remove from the heat and pour over the steak.
- Drain potatoes and return them to the saucepan.
- Cook over low heat, stirring, until potatoes are thoroughly dried, about 30 seconds.
- Remove from heat and, using potato masher, mash potatoes until smooth and no lumps remain. Stir in bone broth, oil, and salt to taste.
*N.B. You can use the second serve of the recipe to have for leftovers the next day

Fermented foods are becoming so popular with all the hype around how much it can support gut health, and there is definitely a beautiful place for them, however I often find people use them far before their tummies are ready.
With my clients, I often suggest we pause on the fermented foods first and focus on rebuilding and repairing before adding them in. Fermented foods are amazing prebiotics, and kefir is no exception. I have also found it is something myself and my clients tolerate far better early on (and from then on) in our journey’s than other fermented foods which is why I love @thewildfermentary kefir!!
I love having this once or twice a week as a drink (in a wine glass, because why not), but with my new obsession with gummies, I thought it would be awesome to try to make some. That way we combine the repairing with the prebiotics and let me tell you it was a great success!
Be sure to use my discount code: ‘SHEREE10’ if you want 10% off The Wild Fermentary Kefir!
Side note: the gelatin is amazing to support gut health and repair gut lining, so these gummies are a win win! Check out the recipe below :)
INGREDIENTS
- 1 cup kefir (I used @thewildfermentary)
- 4 Tbsp. gelatin (I used the nutraorganics natural grassfed unflavoured)
- 3 Tbsp. stevia (you can use honey instead, I was just keeping the sugar way down)
METHOD
1. Add the kefir to small - medium saucepan
2. Sprinkle the gelatin over the juice (try spread it out evenly), and let it sit for a few minutes, this allows the gelatin to ‘bloom’
**You will notice a wrinkled look forming on the surface as the liquid absorbs the gelatin
3. Stir the mixture together

Snickers is probably my FAVOURITE chocolate bar, the texture, the taste, the chocolate, caramel, the peanuts, it literally makes my mouth water just thinking about it.
However, as a nutritionist, it has been a while since I have had one, not because I am deprived, but purely because I know that the sugar content alone is not something that serves me, my gut or my hormones on a regular basis!
So… I came up with this smoothie to help replicate the taste to some degree, and so far it has had rave reviews! It’s perfect for breakfast, a snack or even post workout! If you’re a Snickers fan like me, I hope you’ll give it a try!
INGREDIENTS
2 – 3 Dates
1 scoop chocolate protein powder
1 tbsp. peanut butter
¼ cup oats (or quinoa flakes for gluten free)
1 cup unsweetened almond milk
METHOD
Blend all ingredients together in a smoothie and enjoy!
