Top 5 Supplements Every Woman Should Be Taking For Hormone Health
TOP 5 SUPPLEMENTS EVERY WOMAN SHOULD BE TAKING FOR HORMONE HEALTH
1 / MAY / 2024
SHEREE'S HEALTH DIARIES
One of the biggest questions I get when it comes to hormone health is ‘what supplements should I be taking?’
Now whilst 5 might sound like a lot, there are amazing companies out there that will do a great combo of these in the right dosages to actually help you see a shift.
But please note, I am extra picky with supplement companies that I recommend, as not all supplements are created equally - in terms of dosage but also the type/form of micronutrient that you are getting.
All my clients know how much I stress this, because the wrong type/dosage or even brand can actually make matters worse.
You are probably also wondering, do I even need to supplement?
Well, in reality, whilst I am a FOOD FIRST in my nutrition approach, a lot of these nutrients are no in our soils anymore which means they aren’t in our food, or we are doing things in modern society that deplete these nutrients so much that we are unable to reach the levels needed without supplementation.
BREAKDOWN OF TOP 5 SUPPLEMENTS
Please note this is not replacing medical advice, and you should always check with a qualified practitioner before taking anything (especially if you are on medications)
1. B Vitamins
These are essential for stress, energy, metabolic function, immune system optimisation and ovulation (especially B6, folate and B12).
Beef liver capsules or the food itself is a great option or a high quality B complex like Thorne, BePure or Pure Encapsulations.
2. Magnesium
The more stressed we are the more magnesium we use. Responsible for over 300 different functions in the body, magnesium is essential and helps reduce period pains, headaches and PMS. It can also support blood sugar regulation.
My favourite form is magnesium glycinate, starting dose around 300 mg - however there are different magnesium for different functions. I love Thorne, BePure, or Metagenics CalmX.
Food sources include leafy greens, cacao/chocolate, nuts and seeds.
3. Zinc
One of the biggest deficiencies in our soil is zinc. Zinc is important for ovulation, skin, hair, nails, immunity (to name a few), and 98% of my clients come to me in a deficient state.
Unfortunately the RDI is 15mg and often all you will get over the counter so won’t top your levels up. It is also depleted if you are on the pill. I normally have my clients on a higher therapeutic dosage.
Oysters, red meat and eggs are great sources. Brands I love include BePure, Thorne, and Eve Wellness - Period Pal/All Things Glow.
4. Omega 3's
Yes, even if you are eating fish regularly, this is normally still deficient. Important for brain function, reducing inflammation and therefore supports hormonal acne as well as period cramps.
The scary thing with this is a lot of companies have a higher mercury level than is actually healthy for us to be consuming daily, so I opt for very high grade tested supplements including Nordic Naturals, Designs for Health and BePure.
Food sources include: fatty fish (salmon, tuna, mackerel), chia seeds, walnuts and flaxseed oil
5. Vitamin C
Normally only known for its immune system support, vitamin C is a powerhouse when it comes to cortisol control. Which really supports our hormonal balance.
Be mindful that too much can lead to loose stools and if you have hemochromatosis this is a no-no for you. It is also really hard to get through our food supply, as once the food is picked (e.g. an orange) within 4 days it loses 80% of its vitamin C content
My favourite brands include Metagenics CalmX, BePure, and Designs for Health Liposomal Vitamin C.
MY FINAL THOUGHTS
These are my top 5 supplements that create an amazing baseline for optimal health, however you may need to add some that are more specific to your goals. If you aren’t sure where to start or want a supplement review for tailored advice click here.

Double Chocolate Cookie Dough Protein Slice
DOUBLE CHOCOLATE COOKIE DOUGH PROTEIN SLICE
24 / APRIL / 2024
SHEREE'S HEALTH DIARIES
Sheree Hannah Wellness x Feeding Lara Collab
One of the biggest issues I see when it comes to healing the gut, balancing hormones and supporting metabolic function is actually a lack of protein intake, especially by women
Most of our snacks are geared towards higher carbohydrates or higher fats, which is typical in convenience type foods, but also in grabbing a handful of nuts or a piece of fruit.
This isn’t to say that those choices are wrong, but did you know that for a food to be considered ‘high protein’ it only needs to hit 5g of protein per serve. That really isn’t much - in fact, rice can be considered a high protein food if you were to measure in this way.
But it’s not, it’s predominantly a carbohydrate. As a nutritionist, I see the confusion this causes all the time, and to be honest it can get super frustrating - not just for me, but clients as well because they think they’re doing the right thing.
A HIGH PROTEIN SNACK TO SUPPORT HOLISTIC WELLNESS
That’s why I am obsessed with this slice, not only is it packed with delicious whole food ingredients (hello cacao), but we have ensured each slice contains about 12g of protein - if not more - so that your ‘high protein snack’ is in fact a high protein snack.
The @mitchells.nz protein powder is collagen based which supports hormone health, skin health and gut healing. The maca root powder is helpful for hormones, libido and energy levels and the tahini is high in antioxidants, anti-inflammatory and has minerals like magnesium to support our nervous system and brain health, much like cacao.
It also ticks a lot of boxes for those of you struggling to find something that is nourishing but won’t flare up your symptoms - this recipe is gluten free, dairy free, paleo, sugar free and keto friendly!
Enjoy and be sure to tag @feedinglara and @shereehannahwellness if you try it!

4 Things Keeping You From Losing Belly Fat
4 THINGS KEEPING YOU FROM LOSING BELLY FAT
17 / APRIL / 2024
SHEREE'S HEALTH DIARIES
Losing weight isn’t always easy… especially around our tummies. In fact, this is always the area of biggest complaint when clients come to see me.
Most people experience frustration, shame, and feeling like nothing is working, and I get it
You're eating well
You're exercising regularly
You've cut back on the wine
You've even stopped the daily chocolate fix in the afternoon
And you're feeling like you’re working really hard for not a lot of results
Don’t beat yourself up if you’re feeling any of these! I noticed this in almost all of my clients, which is why I actually don't focus on weight loss in my programs (hear me out)
I’ve done this enough times to know that… When we focus on the number on the scale, it becomes a mind game, all consuming and we look in the mirror every morning wondering why the belly still jiggles.
What we do instead... is focus on what's driving the weight to stick, healing at the ROOT CAUSE, so weight loss is a byproduct of nourishing your body
THERE ARE 4 REASONS TYPICALLY THAT WE STORE WEIGHT…
- Poor liver detoxification (hello too much caffeine)
This speeds up our phase one pathways, but not phase two, which can lead to a traffic jam and our toxins being stored in our fat cells and therefore unable to be cleared from our body - Sugar (you're not getting enough protein)
If you're craving sweets, you're probably not eating enough, and especially not eating enough protein which keeps those cravings at bay. - Alcohol (yes, every glass of wine does add up)
It's not just the fact the body sees alcohol as poison and loads up the liver, but it is often laden with sugar, and creates extra stress... more than a trifecta right here! - High stress (that busy schedule of yours is driving that cortisol too high)
High cortisol causes our body to hold onto weight, particularly around the belly
TRY THIS ONE THING FOR EACH OF THE ABOVE:
☕️ You don't have to give up your coffee, but try having it 90 minutes after waking, with some added protein/fats and only one a day (or a few times a week)
🥩 Aim for 30g of protein at every main meal
🍹 Pause the alcohol for 4 weeks
🙏 Add in some time for you... practice saying NO to things from time to time.
These are the first steps, and I've built out the rest of the step-by-step framework inside Reclaim Your Radiance.

The Mineral You Need To Optimise Your Sleep
THE MINERAL YOU NEED TO OPTIMISE YOUR SLEEP
03 / APRIL / 2024
SHEREE'S HEALTH DIARIES
Studies have shown low levels of serum magnesium (magnesium in your blood) are associated with low quality sleep and insomnia
I’ve been saying this for years, and this article expands on the role magnesium plays in regulating our circadian rhythm.
If you’re struggling with your sleep, chances are your circadian rhythm is out of alignment and your cortisol and melatonin are out of sync. There’s a lot we can do to reset this, like sunshine exposure, adjusting caffeine timing, balancing blood sugar levels, blue light blocking glasses, dimming the lights at night etc…
But these things take time, it doesn't take just a week to throw your circadian rhythm off, so it can be a few weeks before things start to settle and regulate. Which we both know, when it comes to sleep, lying awake at night is not fun, you just want to sleep now. This is where magnesium comes in.
HOW MAGNESIUM SUPPORTS YOUR SLEEP
All in all, magnesium (especially when combined with B6), can be really supportive in supporting falling asleep, regular sleep patterns and calming the nervous system.
Here’s why this is something you need to know...
The more stressed you are, the more magnesium you use, and with your day to day stress you're burning through a lot more magnesium than you can get with food
Which is a contributing factor to not getting good quality sleep. If you’re stressed, you start to throw out your cortisol levels, reducing your melatonin production in the evening and this is what can often result in that ‘wired but tired’ feeling!
So you struggle to fall asleep, wind up waking up tired, feeling unrested and dragging your feet to get through the day, relying on caffeine for energy (which also depletes your magnesium). Not the best cocktail for us to feel optimal right?!
Magnesium helps you calm your nervous system, bringing down the cortisol and helps you shift into your parasympathetic state which then supports you in falling asleep.
It also helps prevent and soothe cramps, reduce sugar cravings and speed up recovery from training. All of which are even more beneficial at night time, am I right? Waking up to a calf cramp at 3am is excruciating. Not to mention when you sleep you are repairing and the magnesium helps optimise that.
Magnesium is responsible for over 300 different functions in the body, so getting enough daily will make a huge difference to not only your sleep, but energy as well.
MY DOSAGE RECOMMENDATION
Weekly wellness prescription: add ~300mg of magnesium (bis)glycinate to your evening routine. If you want a great quality brand, just DM me here and I can share with you the ones I love that are available in your country and watch your sleep improve tenfold!
With love,

Should You Eat Meat For Health
DOES EATING MEAT ENHANCE OR DECREASE YOUR HEALTH?
07 / FEBRUARY / 2024
SHEREE'S HEALTH DIARIES
Have you ever considered that the key to a longer life might be as simple as the protein on your plate?
It’s one of the biggest things I focus on with my clients, not just in terms of the quantity, but the quality of their protein.
WHAT THE RESEARCH SHOWS
Surprising as it may sound, a recent Japanese study has shed light on the potential impact of protein intake on longevity.
In this study, 833 healthy adults in their late 80s were examined, and the findings were striking. Participants with the highest protein intake demonstrated a remarkable 56% reduced risk of death compared to those with the lowest protein intake. What's noteworthy is that individuals in the high protein group, averaging around 110g of protein daily, consumed twice as much animal protein as the low protein group, which averaged 64g daily.
The researchers concluded that animal protein seemed to have a greater reduction in risk of mortality when compared to plant protein. It suggests that animal and fish protein sources seem to have a protective element, especially at older ages.
Now, let's talk about the elephant in the room – animal protein. There's a prevalent misconception about the health implications of meat, especially red meat. But let me tell you, I couldn't disagree more.
Meat, encompassing poultry and fish, is an integral part of our diet. It provides essential amino acids and micronutrients. Our ancestors have been consuming it for centuries, and it plays a crucial role in supporting hormone balance.
MY FINAL THOUGHTS
I fundamentally believe that humans were designed to eat meat 🍖. Numerous studies have consistently shown that meat is a superior, more bioavailable source of protein compared to plants. It's easier for your body to digest, break down, and utilise.
Of course, the quality of the meat matters - so choosing organic, free range and antibiotic free where possible is going to make a huge difference.
And don't get me wrong, you absolutely need plants (aka veggies) in your diet. It's about balance. Let's dispel the myth and stop demonising meat. Embracing a balanced approach that includes high-quality meat can be a key to unlocking not just a satisfying meal but potentially a longer, healthier life.

Cold/Flu/Viral Infection Protocol
COLD/FLU/VIRAL INFECTION PROTOCOL
24 / JANUARY / 2024
SHEREE'S HEALTH DIARIES
After being hit with yet another bout of c*vid last week (but managing to bounce back within a couple of days + avoid long VID this time)
I thought I'd share with you my go-to cold/flu/viral protocol, these are my non-negotiable tools + supplements to get you bouncing back to health in no time!
MY RECOMMENDATIONS
First off… FASTING. Fasting has a significant impact on promoting immune system homeostasis, enhancing mitochondrial health, and increasing stem cell production. One of the ways fasting does this is by encouraging the removal of damaged mitochondria (mitophagy), misfolded and foreign proteins, and damaged cells (autophagy). Completing a 2 day fast upon onset, or intermittent fasting periodically can fast track your healing.
Next supplementation + sunshine:
- Zinc plays a vital role in supporting the immune system in its fight against viruses, colds, and flus. It functions as a cofactor for many enzymes involved in various aspects of immune function. Zinc is crucial for the development and function of immune cells, including white blood cells that are responsible for recognizing and attacking invaders like viruses.
Additionally, it helps regulate inflammation and acts as an antioxidant, protecting cells from damage. Zinc deficiency can impair the immune response, making the body more susceptible to infections. Ensuring an adequate intake of zinc through diet or supplements can contribute to a robust immune system, enhancing the body's ability to defend against illnesses caused by viruses and other pathogens.
Recommendation: 75 - 100 mg/day from onset until symptoms disappear, zinc gluconate/glycinate is a highly available form
- Vitamin C is a key player acting as an antioxidant, it shields immune cells from damage caused by free radicals. Vitamin C is vital for the production and function of white blood cells, which are essential for fighting infections. It also enhances the activity of certain immune system proteins and helps regulate inflammation.
Moreover, vitamin C promotes the integrity of the skin and mucous membranes, acting as a physical barrier against pathogens. A deficiency in vitamin C can weaken the immune response, making the body more susceptible to infections. By including sources of vitamin C in your diet, such as citrus fruits, berries, and leafy greens, you provide valuable support to your immune system, helping it stay strong and effective in warding off illnesses.
Recommendation: take 1000mg orally 2-3 x daily at onset of symptoms.
- Vitamin D plays acts as a modulator, influencing the activity and responsiveness of immune cells. Vitamin D receptors are present on various immune cells, and when activated, these receptors help regulate immune responses. Adequate levels of vitamin D contribute to the production of antimicrobial peptides, which are substances that can destroy a broad range of viruses and bacteria.
Moreover, vitamin D helps to maintain the integrity of the respiratory epithelial barrier, providing an additional defence against infections. A deficiency in vitamin D has been linked to an increased susceptibility to respiratory infections. Getting sufficient sunlight exposure and incorporating vitamin D-rich foods or supplements into your routine can optimise your vitamin D levels, supporting a robust immune system and reducing the risk of infections.
Recommended 4000 - 5000 IU daily upon onset of symptoms + 30 minutes of midday sunshine at least 3 x week
- Magnesium is involved in the activation of immune cells and helps regulate their function. Magnesium is essential for the production of energy within cells, and this energy is crucial for the proper functioning of immune cells during an immune response. Additionally, magnesium has anti-inflammatory properties, helping to balance the immune system's activity. It contributes to the maintenance of the body's overall health, which indirectly supports immune function.
High bioavailability forms such as magnesium glycinate and L-threonate are often best tolerated and can increase the magnesium in the red blood cells to support healing. Recommended ~300 - 400mg daily (always), and especially upon onset of symptoms.

There's a more detailed version with a few extra supplements, recommendations + medications as a full protocol going inside of my CWC membership next month.

Top 10 Podcast Episodes Of 2023
TOP 10 PODCAST EPISODES OF 2023
10 / JANUARY / 2024
SHEREE'S HEALTH DIARIES
For all things health, personal development and business
It’s been a very exciting year in the world of podcasting, and a huge part of that is because I finally launched my baby off the ground - The Wild & Well Collective
I joined forces with my dear friend Christa Elza (an incredible functional medicine nutritionist with a background in being a nurse practitioner) to bring you episodes every single week on how to live a big life wildly well!
This podcast is really about YOU, the beautiful community of souls that I am blessed to have in my sphere, and providing you with all the latest tools, tips, tricks and insights to help you feel empowered with your health.
On top of that, I did my own listening this year and surprisingly shopped around. There are a few new favourite podcast shows on my list now as a number of other epic humans decided to launch their podcasts too. Including Kimberley Haworth - Beauty and The Biz, Alyssa Nobriga - Healing Human Potential, and Mel Robbins - The Mel Robbins Podcast.
So as per usual, I have collected a variety of my favourite episodes that I have personally listened to and loved this year, along with a little synopsis for you. I hope you enjoy (and be sure to go rate, follow and share the Wild & Well Collective with your family and friends too).
MY EPISODE RECOMMENDATIONS
1. Joe Rogan Experience - Gary Brecka + Joe Rogan
I am absolutely obsessed with this podcast episode! As you know, I am really into biohacking. Gary Brecka is one of the leading experts in this field and in this episode he talks about some of the key things that I have been sharing with my clients for years. Particularly around cortisone vs PRP injections, the importance of folate and methylated folate in the diet, grounding, breathwork, saunas and so much more! I know it's quite a long episode but I cannot recommend you diving into it enough. There is just so much wisdom and you may want to get out your notepads because this one is epic!
2. Wild + Well Collective - Unlocking Human Potential: Navigating the Biohacking Landscape
In this episode, we delve into the exciting world of biohacking, exploring the diverse realms it encompasses. Four key topics take the stage: intermittent fasting, breathwork, circadian rhythm, and the transformative power of cold dips and saunas. Our conversation sheds light on the nuances of biohacking, emphasising the importance of individuality in choosing these practices and how you can harness them to optimise your health and mental clarity. If you’re looking for healthy habits to bring in the new year, this is your episode.
3. Beauty + The Biz - ft. me
I had the pleasure of being featured on a podcast episode with Kimberley Haworth where we discussed all things GUT HEALTH. This is a real behind the scenes dive into Kimberley's health journey, how she views her kids' health and how you can support your body to support your business. This episode was led by questions from the audience and included discussions around optimal health levels, how to speak to kids about health, how your business is affected by health and cycle syncing.
4. Healing Human Potential - Alyssa Nobriga + Mark Hyman
Alyssa is an incredible mentor of mine that I had the privilege of learning from for over 4 years in the holistic life coaching space. In this episode, Alyssa and Dr. Mark Hyman combine the understanding of not only functional medicine but how that applies to functional psychology and the inner workings of our minds. They discuss how we can actually heal both our bodies and minds by reducing inflammation in both. Also to help us heal chronic diseases in a variety of ways - covering everything from biohacking, the latest and greatest innovations in this space and how you can support your body in detoxing in the simplest of ways so you can start feeling better in as little as 2-3 days! Dr. Mark Hyman also shares some of the new and upcoming techniques that are currently being trialled and tested. He reiterates one of my favourite points that I always share with my clients… You are the centre of your health care system and whilst traditional medicine might be taking a long time to catch up to what we now see and operate from in the functional medicine space, the ability for you to be the centre point of your own health and take control really is at your fingertips. I love this empowering podcast episode for that exact reason! Definitely worth a listen, maybe even a couple of times through! Both Alyssa and Dr. Mark Hyman have an incredible wealth of knowledge in their fields. I cannot recommend his books and resources or diving into this podcast enough!
5. School of Greatness - Control Your Mind in Minutes & Attract the Future You Desire w/Joe Dispenza
Two of my favourite authors and speakers team up for this episode all about the powerful impact your mind can have on your life (and how to master your mind so you are in control of your reality). Dr Joe Dipsenza and Howes talk about one of my favourite practices (gratitude) and how this is one of the most crucial ways to shift your thoughts, as well as all the research that Dr. Dispenza is involved in that act as incredibly supportive evidence. They also explore how we can limit ourselves by staying trapped in our past and what to do to break through this… and so much more! Enjoy!
6. BossBabe Podcast - Living From Overflow vs Overwhelm, Tapping into Your Inner Power + Rediscovering Your True Identity with Alexi Panos
Breaking societal norms, nervous system regulation, balancing masculine feminine energy in yourself and relationships, honouring your body as an entrepreneur, and being the creator of your own life were the key learnings and messages I got from this episode. I adore both of these women as absolute leaders in this space, and it was a conversation that truly, deeply, resonated with my soul on every level. If you are a mumma or mumma to be, or wish to be one day, I highly recommend listening to this with that lense on too.
7. ON Purpose - Dr. Will Cole ON: Why Gut Health is Impacting Your Brain Health & How to Stop Inflammation in Your Body
I love these two humans and hearing them together is epic, this is super informative and valuable especially with the rise of mental health issues. Your gut is your second brain, and they are made of the same tissue, we need to be looking after both!
8. The Mel Robbins Podcast - The Science of Your Gut: 3 Easy Steps to Reduce Bloating, Improve Digestion, and Feel Better Today
In this episode, Mel & Dr. Amy Shah dive into one of the biggest complaints that I hear on a daily basis… BLOATING. Dr.Shah provides insights on how to differentiate between bloating and weight gain as well as some of the key symptomatology that you may be unaware of that is actually linked to bloating and water retention. A lot of the time we think gas is causing the distention in our stomach when in reality, it can be driven by a number of things such as an unhealthy gut microbiome or hormonal imbalances which are not always driven by food. This episode is super interesting as Mel shares some personal stories (I love her relatability!) and they also breakdown a 5 day reset option to help you support your body from ditching the bloating for good!
9. Period Party - The Spiritual and Emotional Root Causes of Reproductive Health Issues with Katie Beecher
Such an interesting conversation happening between Nicole Jardim and Katie Beecher looking from an angle that is whilst becoming more common, not often the first approach to healing menstrual and reproductive issues. They talk about everything from chakras and intuition to awkward and awful puberty experiences. Definitely one of my favourite episodes of period party as it combines the two worlds of well-being I love so much - the woo and the science.
10. Wild & Well Collective - Empowered Health Unveiled: Navigating Holistic Wellness
Our first episode dives into my own personal journey, starting with a celiac disease diagnosis in childhood, leading to struggles with eating disorders and body image issues, and ultimately guiding me towards holistic health. This intimate interview really leaves no holes barred, I get open, honest and very vulnerable in this, and hope it truly serves you at whatever stage of your journey you are going through.
