Alcohol might feel like a sleep aid, but it actually disrupts sleep quality, increases inflammation, and can throw off your gut health. Instead, try this Sleepy Girl Mocktail, a delicious, gut-friendly alternative!
It’s packed with tart cherry juice, a natural source of melatonin, plus turmeric and ginger, which not only add flavour but also support plant diversity (aka a thriving gut!). This soothing blend may help with digestion, reduce inflammation, and promote restful sleep.
Sip, unwind, and wake up feeling refreshed!

THE GUT FRIENDLY FIBRE GUIDE
An evidence-based guide for women to eat more fibre without making their gut feel worse
If eating more fibre has ever left you feeling worse, fibre probably wasn’t the problem. More likely, your gut just needed you to go slower.Â
This guide is based on the approach I use with women who want to eat more fibre without making their gut feel worse. We start with where you are now, then build from there slowly enough that your gut can keep up.
It’s food-first, weight-neutral and evidence-based, created by me and my team of Accredited Practising Dietitians.
