by Georgina Erhardt | Mar 4, 2026 | Blog, Gut Health, Hormones, PCOS, Women's Wellness

If you have PCOS and you’re still breaking out despite eating “clean,” cutting dairy, trying supplements and investing in skincare, this will make sense of why. PCOS acne is not just a skin issue. It is a metabolic and hormonal signalling issue. And unless we address...

If you are someone who feels fine one week and awful the next, you are not imagining it. Many women come to me feeling confused and frustrated because their symptoms flare at unpredictable times. Bloating, anxiety, headaches, rashes, insomnia, fatigue, mood dips,...

    My client came to me with chronic perioral dermati My client came to me with chronic perioral dermatitis and reflux. Instead of another elimination diet or another cream, we used functional testing to understand what was actually driving both. Once we had the data, the plan became clear, and so did the results!!!! This is why I always say: TEST, don’t guess. DM me “ROOT CAUSE” if you’re ready to stop guessing and find out what’s really behind your symptoms.
    If fat loss was just calories in vs calories out… If fat loss was just calories in vs calories out… women wouldn’t be struggling as much as they are! Your body isn’t a maths equation!!!! Inflammation. Hormones. Thyroid health. Insulin resistance. Stress. Gut health. These ALLLL influence how your body stores fat, burns energy and responds to food. If you’re only focusing on eating less and moving more, you could be missing the real reason you’re stuck. It’s time to stop guessing and start looking at what’s actually driving your symptoms. Comment CALORIES and I’ll tell you why you are staying stuck and where you should start 👊🏼
    You mighttttt think you’re “just a light sleeper”, You mighttttt think you’re “just a light sleeper”, someone who always gets headaches…has random bloating, reacts to loads of foods, or OFTEN reaches for antihistamines… But what if those symptoms aren’t random!!!! 🦠Histamine is essential for your body, but when your histamine bucket is overflowing, it can show up in MANY different ways. The KEY isn’t just avoiding more foods or taking another antihistamine. It’s understanding WHY your body is struggling to keep histamine under control in the first place. Gut health, hormones, nutrient deficiencies, stress, immune activation and genetics can all play a role. This is why I always focus on finding the root cause rather than guessing. If you recognised yourself in this reel, comment “HISTAMINE” or send me a DM and let’s chat about what’s really driving your symptoms.
    Stop blaming the food and start looking at the env Stop blaming the food and start looking at the environment the food is landing in. Because the same meal can leave one person feeling energised and another looking six months pregnant. Your body doesn’t process food in isolation. It processes food based on the environment it’s working with. So ask yourself: • Is your nervous system stuck in chronic stress? • Are you rushing every meal instead of sitting down to eat? • Are you chewing your food properly? • Are you eating whilst scrolling or working? • Are you constipated and not emptying your bowels daily? • Are your hormones out of balance? • Is your gut lining inflamed or compromised? • Are you constantly running on empty? • Are you carrying emotional stress your body never gets a break from? Comment REASON or send me a DM if you’re fed up with feeling bloated and want to find out what’s really driving it.
    It’s not just about WHAT you are eating but HOW yo It’s not just about WHAT you are eating but HOW you are eating that can drive a lot of digestive issues 👀 If we are eating: rushed, stressed, on the go, distracted, really fast… we are on the BACK FOOT for being able to digest our food properly because our digestive super powers like: Bile Stomach acid Enzymes Motility Are not being prioritised due to this stressful environment the body is in. When you start prioritising slowness and gentleness around earing- it really is game changing for symptoms like bloating, reflux, gas etc. Comment or DM me “DIGESTION” if you are already nailing these two steps and still experiencing significant bloating or symptoms.
    Try these four simple habits to reduce bloating fo Try these four simple habits to reduce bloating for the next 7 days: • Leave around 4 hours between meals so your digestive system has time to do its job. • Take 3 slow belly breaths before eating to switch your body into a state where it can actually digest your food. • Choose cooked vegetables over large raw salads if your gut feels particularly sensitive. • Slow down and chew your food until it’s almost applesauce consistency before swallowing. 👉🏻None of these are magic fixes, but they can reduce the amount of work your digestive system has to do and help improve symptoms Iffffff you try all four consistently and you’re still waking up bloated or looking six months pregnant by the end of the day, don’t ignore it. PERSISTENT bloating is often a sign that there’s something deeper going on! Comment BLOAT and I’ll tell you where to go next 🦠🦠
