Jawline acne is often related to hormone imbalance — particularly too much testosterone (and its inflammatory metabolites). Higher available testosterone causes the follicles to overproduce sebum, which gets backed up and causes blockages. Combine the high-testosterone picture with an overloaded immune system, and you get chronic acne. https://www.wildr.nz/blog/is-it-worth-low-toxing-your-sunskincare monthly 0.5 2025-11-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60bb3537c5e6be6d2939d8f4/75c213da-8505-476d-9906-d55adfc305a9/21901-epidermis.jpeg Wildr Blog - Is it worth low-toxing your skincare? The most outer most sub-layer of skin is actually made up of dead skin cells called the stratum corneum, this is part of the epidermis. The dermis is the next layer in and contains the blood supply - and this blood supply delivers nutrients directly to this layer via very small blood vessels called capillaries, then the process of diffusion allows the movement of nutrients from the dermis across to the epidermis. Beneath the dermis, is the hypo-dermis which has a blood supply and a subcutaneous layer of fat - protective for tissues of the body. The outermost epidermis is our barrier and has 5 sub-layers and contains our skin cells (called keratinocytes), melanocytes, immune cells and sensory nerves. The main function of the blood supplied dermis is to regulate heat loss and this layer contains sweat glands, hair follicles, sweat/sebaceous glands, and lymphatic vessels. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60bb3537c5e6be6d2939d8f4/8379f0c5-32e8-4196-9665-2a6dc5fe2f3b/Suncare+image.jpg Wildr Blog - Is it worth low-toxing your skincare? - Our skin is an incredible organ that provides protection, and is our direct interaction, to the outside world. As I often tell my clients, it’s a visible reflection of our gut health too. And while one of the skin’s main functions is to provide a barrier, it also has the ability to be permeable and can absorb substances that are placed on our skin. So is it worth spending the extra money on ’natural’ skincare? Let’s have a look and see. https://www.wildr.nz/blog/baby-making-basics monthly 0.5 2025-11-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60bb3537c5e6be6d2939d8f4/1731007935472-99FA1X3DDP8ETUAI701T/Baby.jpg Wildr Blog - Baby Making Basics - Are you thinking of bringing a new human into this world? Not only is this a momumental task emotionally, but also physically. The intricately choreographed dance of hormones that is the a women’s monthly ovulatory/menstrual cycle, means that women theoretically have a chance to conceive approximately every 28 days. And it’s ironic, that many young women spend their teens and twenties obsessing about preventing pregnancy, only to struggle to conceive in the their 30s/40s. https://www.wildr.nz/blog/the-antidote-gratitude monthly 0.5 2025-11-05 https://www.wildr.nz/blog/gut-healing-ramen-recipe monthly 0.5 2025-11-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60bb3537c5e6be6d2939d8f4/d5b54e41-50b2-44e8-8139-928d29d2a20b/IMG_3964.jpg Wildr Blog - Gut Healing Ramen Recipe - The infamous ramen recipe….! It’s delicious, easy and so healing for the gut with a few magic ingredients added This recipe was first developed and refined on our van trip when we had limited cooking resources - hence why it’s super easy! It’s certainly not a super ‘authentic’ ramen - it’s just my version for sure. This recipe is easy to adapt to what you have in the fridge, but I would consider the non-negotioble ingredients to be as follows; Ginger Bone broth - liquid or powdered Miso The rest is up to you to have a play around with, if you wish! Or follow the recipe exactly. Up to you :) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60bb3537c5e6be6d2939d8f4/7bf81b1f-40a0-4ace-aa5a-81acfdc6108e/tempImageTlSqP5.jpg Wildr Blog - Gut Healing Ramen Recipe - Cooking Instructions Step 1: Sauté the aromatics In a large pot, heat the sesame oil or butter over medium heat. Add the sliced onion (or leek) and salt, and sauté for about 10 minutes, until softened and fragrant. If you’re able to give the onions a bit longer, they’ll start to caramelise which adds nice flavour. Add the ginger and garlic and sauté for a further 3-4 mins. Step 2: Cook the pork Increase the heat to medium-high, add the pork mince to the pot, and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Break up the pork with a spoon as it cooks. Once browned, turn the heat down again, then add the sliced mushrooms, and cook until they soften, about 5 minutes. https://www.wildr.nz/blog/why-bloating monthly 0.5 2025-11-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60bb3537c5e6be6d2939d8f4/8b3fc4fd-e09a-46c0-8ec5-08b774dcf945/IMG_2425.jpg Wildr Blog - Why do we get bloated? - 4. Add in a probiotic to help with rebalancing the balance of good and bad bacteria in the gut Quality is very important here so please reach out to me before just buying one off the shelf…! 5. Eat fermented foods! Anything from sauerkraut to (good quality) kombucha, kimchi, kefir or yoghurt. Homemade is always best (and cheapest) and once you get started, you realise how easy it is, but it does require some time and attention. Sauerkraut is SUPER easy and I’ve popped the how to in a reel which you can access here If you’ve given a couple of those pointers a go and you’re still struggling, it’s best to work with a practitioner who can create a targeted and personalise protocol. Reach out to Laura to get into some functional testing which can give up a complete breakdown of your gut microbiome (it’s incredible!) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60bb3537c5e6be6d2939d8f4/f2d2b19f-a5e5-4ede-89f8-80c21f86f33e/Apple+cider+vinegar.jpg Wildr Blog - Why do we get bloated? - 1. Apple cider vinegar is a magical remedy in my books - so it’s worth trying! It doesn’t work for everyone though. Take a small shot of apple cider vinegar before every meal (yep, that’s ideally every single meal but at least start with breakfast, dinner or any larger meals and go from there). If apple cider vinegar doesn’t agree with you - try diluting in water (I actually find diluted in warm water somewhat enjoyable) or lemon juice is another good alternative. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60bb3537c5e6be6d2939d8f4/1730240387186-J85YO7GL1DMNRDQO1S70/Bloating.jpg Wildr Blog - Why do we get bloated? - We all feel bloated sometimes, that’s normal, but if bloating is happening regularly AND maybe it’s associated with pain or gas, AND it’s not linked to a specific food - then it’s time to look at what’s going on in the gut microbiome.

When we hit lock-down in 2020, I along with millions of other people decided to learn how to make sourdough. I find following a recipe exactly, very difficult so I wasn’t sure how it was going to go. But I was able to produce a sourdough that tasted delicious, rose effectively and developed a good crunchy crust! It’s not perfect but it’s homemade with love so it’s good enough for me (and Ted). Here’s a bit of info, some tips and then the schedule I follow. Tips and Tricks Take your time - sourdough and fermenting in general needs time. Don't rush your starter prep or the bulk fermentation phase.

That’s what chronic fatigue has been described to feel like. Fatigue, that feeling of overwhelming exhaustion, can often be situational, meaning it’s related to something occurring in our life (think about a mother with a newborn, or a particularly stressful period at work).

There’s so much that we can do to support our liver and health so here’s somewhere to start; Avoid drinking on an empty stomach and support your microbiome with a probiotic the day after drinking. Eat plenty of leafy green vegetables which naturally provide us with b-vitamins and antioxidants that will support a healthy liver Supplement with extra b-vitamins to provide your liver with those all important resources Eat plenty of good quality protein - aim for a serving of protein at every meal Don’t drink alcohol close to bedtime - have a glass at dinner and leave it at that. Quantity is important, be aware of how much you are having - is it really just 1 glass? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60bb3537c5e6be6d2939d8f4/1699845785016-JDGXPMZCZ60M5JNIHPMQ/image-asset.jpeg Wildr Blog - How alcohol impacts our health - The old red wine myth I still hear it a lot “but one glass of red wine per day is good for you!?” There’s some truth to this. There are antioxidants, such as resveratrol, present in red wine which are great for your health. But be aware, is it really just 1 glass of wine that you’re having? There’s likely some specific benefit to having that (one) glass of wine alongside dinner (and laughter with friends!) as the acidity might support digestion - drink like the french notoriously do (did?). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60bb3537c5e6be6d2939d8f4/1699846597832-8V6F5RULIMA0P3O6ZAVO/image-asset.jpeg Wildr Blog - How alcohol impacts our health - Gut Health One of the most important systems in our body is our gut health. Our gut interacts directly with our immune system, hormones, and brain. More on that another day! Alcohol has a massive impact on our gut microbiome, the community of bacteria, yeasts and viruses that live within our digestive tract. It changes the environment of the digestive tract to be more favourable for the bad kind of bacteria - so the the bad guys tend to thrive when we’re drinking alcohol regularly. It also decreases our digestive capacity - it make it harder for us to break down our food and absorb the nutrients and energy from it!

They’re a vitally important piece of the puzzle when it comes to our overall health and feeling our best. Let’s break down what hormones are, including looking at our 3-main sex hormones (that are responsible for so much more than reproduction!), then we’ll chat about how to bring them back into balance, naturally. Hormones are messengers in the body. They literally take ‘a message’ from one area of the body and deliver to another area. Think of them like the postman - he collects a letter from the postal depot, (this is the spot where the hormone is produced) and he drives along the road (our hormones travel in the bloodstream) and delivers it to the right address (this where the hormone has it’s action). For example - progesterone is produced in the ovaries, but travels through the body but is ‘delivered’ all over the body. https://www.wildr.nz/blog/what-do-your-blood-markers-tell-you-about-your-health monthly 0.5 2025-11-05 https://www.wildr.nz/blog/toptips monthly 0.5 2025-11-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60bb3537c5e6be6d2939d8f4/1680141134081-40U5N9U44GFQAB05WPXY/3.png Wildr Blog - Laura’s Top Health Tips for EVERYONE https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60bb3537c5e6be6d2939d8f4/1680141141998-3Q3NH81DRW9MWWNGMOBC/4.png Wildr Blog - Laura’s Top Health Tips for EVERYONE https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60bb3537c5e6be6d2939d8f4/1680141167356-E2JOOR6FN2YOQA89HX1N/IMG_2221.jpeg Wildr Blog - Laura’s Top Health Tips for EVERYONE https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60bb3537c5e6be6d2939d8f4/1680141170594-ZQ8CQZWQLFGXD6GZQWBZ/7.png Wildr Blog - Laura’s Top Health Tips for EVERYONE https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60bb3537c5e6be6d2939d8f4/1680141189707-02IF5OUSAOGFMK4BBKUT/9.png Wildr Blog - Laura’s Top Health Tips for EVERYONE https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60bb3537c5e6be6d2939d8f4/1680141260433-PIUDWVA2Q1R3SUJ5JBF3/10.png Wildr Blog - Laura’s Top Health Tips for EVERYONE https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60bb3537c5e6be6d2939d8f4/1680141285914-ETMM9TPHSE1PHWPXH7NT/5.png Wildr Blog - Laura’s Top Health Tips for EVERYONE https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60bb3537c5e6be6d2939d8f4/1680141294358-K6W7YRGM925PYAG5Q462/6.png Wildr Blog - Laura’s Top Health Tips for EVERYONE https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60bb3537c5e6be6d2939d8f4/1679901731817-QC5G77O0O51H3ZOHHA4B/2.png Wildr Blog - Laura’s Top Health Tips for EVERYONE https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60bb3537c5e6be6d2939d8f4/1679901832653-TB04S9PLHAOC54D5UA3L/3.png Wildr Blog - Laura’s Top Health Tips for EVERYONE https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60bb3537c5e6be6d2939d8f4/1679901854088-VC0SGS5XYQ5QQEVJDYI7/6.png Wildr Blog - Laura’s Top Health Tips for EVERYONE https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60bb3537c5e6be6d2939d8f4/1679901858701-JIKBVN3QX8LUB8HTKKOV/7.png Wildr Blog - Laura’s Top Health Tips for EVERYONE https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60bb3537c5e6be6d2939d8f4/1679902213496-WZVL46Z9EDAVRTBZZ3K2/14.png Wildr Blog - Laura’s Top Health Tips for EVERYONE https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60bb3537c5e6be6d2939d8f4/1679902218885-0N8V1K0LHJ3P8N82XWKP/15.png Wildr Blog - Laura’s Top Health Tips for EVERYONE https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60bb3537c5e6be6d2939d8f4/1679902336332-LJ17J7N7QNV2Q4AN5WT0/8.png Wildr Blog - Laura’s Top Health Tips for EVERYONE https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60bb3537c5e6be6d2939d8f4/1679902347774-KCXURND7IOEHIDPAPSPA/9.png Wildr Blog - Laura’s Top Health Tips for EVERYONE https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60bb3537c5e6be6d2939d8f4/1679902420884-775X4NP7YBEAQ7BPJGRQ/4.png Wildr Blog - Laura’s Top Health Tips for EVERYONE https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60bb3537c5e6be6d2939d8f4/1679902428726-I6EMMPEQDMWZUO1IU2N0/5.png Wildr Blog - Laura’s Top Health Tips for EVERYONE https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60bb3537c5e6be6d2939d8f4/1679902480785-4GFUO8POUIPIE4LRD1JI/10.png Wildr Blog - Laura’s Top Health Tips for EVERYONE https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60bb3537c5e6be6d2939d8f4/1679902497061-N66PG21YBHRKYII87J3Q/11.png Wildr Blog - Laura’s Top Health Tips for EVERYONE https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60bb3537c5e6be6d2939d8f4/1679902535045-0PPDQVCLU2PMIZMVDEZD/16.png Wildr Blog - Laura’s Top Health Tips for EVERYONE https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60bb3537c5e6be6d2939d8f4/1679902569339-YQP80MUAK18HETFUXV78/17.png Wildr Blog - Laura’s Top Health Tips for EVERYONE https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60bb3537c5e6be6d2939d8f4/1679902593216-O6LUKZZ1CK6PULHNDZLC/12.png Wildr Blog - Laura’s Top Health Tips for EVERYONE https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60bb3537c5e6be6d2939d8f4/1679902600275-75MAX8EYBDPUQ36YTBZ6/13.png Wildr Blog - Laura’s Top Health Tips for EVERYONE https://www.wildr.nz/blog/the-nutritionists-guide-to-the-silly-season monthly 0.5 2025-11-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60bb3537c5e6be6d2939d8f4/514ecce2-ccfe-4f30-a05e-011e89791dd9/85-Retreat-HighRes-92DSC08881.jpg Wildr Blog - The Nutritionist’s Guide to the Silly Season - Laura here, your resident holistic nutritionist.

Choose a smoothie with protein powder (Tank is all over the place these days). https://www.wildr.nz/blog/evening-breathing-exercise monthly 0.5 2025-11-05 https://www.wildr.nz/blog/burnout-with-kirstie-vesseur monthly 0.5 2025-11-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60bb3537c5e6be6d2939d8f4/99672905-3373-4480-b5fe-fb96702e62bd/11.png Wildr Blog - Fertility, hormone balance and burnout with Kirstie Vesseur What an incredible conversation on all things FERTILITY, HORMONE BALANCE and BURNOUT in mothers with Kirstie Vesseur, a clinical nutritionist. Kirstie has such practical advice because she’s actually LIVED through a lot. A trigger warning - Kirstie talks about her experience with abortion and eating disorders so just for those who are sensitive around those topics to be wary. Kirstie says it like it is, which can be a bit confronting but I find particularly refreshing - she’s particularly got some great tips for the mums out there! This one’s for you (Co-regulation sounds like something that would be good to know about…!). https://www.wildr.nz/blog/emilykendall monthly 0.5 2025-11-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60bb3537c5e6be6d2939d8f4/5fd46b1d-4e71-4e94-a764-23cb04d8db8a/Wildr+Pod+Em.png Wildr Blog - Uncovering your true, authentic self with Emily Kendall - In this interview, I chat with Emily Kendall, of EmK Yoga who provides functional movement and mental health support online and in Hamilton.

As a solo mother of a beautiful three year old - Em has some great tips on sleep and time management fo those with children! And, I’m sure you’ve heard in before how great yoga is (probably from me ), but REALLY, you can’t hear it enough! In this crazy world, we truly all need a practice like yoga to breath, slow down and move the body. https://www.wildr.nz/blog/emotions monthly 0.5 2025-11-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60bb3537c5e6be6d2939d8f4/1661196892174-VT6W9OLA7TGSGUUZHDGW/Wildr+Podcast+%28Facebook+Post%29.png Wildr Blog - How our emotions affect our physical health In the very first episode of Season Three (!), Laura of Wildr Wellness, is interviewing Joanne Bisset, naturopath and emotional release practitioner.
