Neurotransmitters are chemical messengers that transmit signals between nerve cells (neurons) and throughout the body. They influence mood, energy, sleep, digestion, pain perception, and overall physiological balance. When neurotransmitters are out of balance, it can contribute to anxiety, depression, fatigue, poor digestion, sleep disturbances, and other health issues. Understanding these messengers, their roles, and how […]

Our mood shapes how we experience life — it colours our thoughts, energy, relationships, and resilience. While it’s normal for emotions to ebb and flow, persistent low mood, apathy, or emotional flatness can be signs that your body, mind, and nervous system need extra support.

Known as the “motivation molecule”, it is central to how we experience pleasure, reward, focus, and drive. It fuels our sense of purpose, creativity, and enthusiasm for life. What […]

The circadian rhythm is the internal 24-hour biological clock that regulates sleep, hormones, metabolism, temperature control, mood, and immune function. When this rhythm is disrupted by stress, irregular sleep patterns, late-night screen exposure, shift work, or travel, the body’s natural cycles fall out of balance. This can lead to insomnia, fatigue, irritability, weight changes, lowered […]

Cortisol is one of the body’s most important hormones and is commonly called the “stress hormone” – essential for energy, metabolism, inflammation control, and the stress response. However, when cortisol becomes chronically elevated due to ongoing stress, lack of sleep, or poor lifestyle habits, it can disrupt nearly every system in the body. Naturopathy offers a […]
