Are You Struggling With……
If you’ve spent years looking after everyone else while putting your own health last, you are not alone
“Many of the current and former first responders and other caring professionals I work with have been told their blood tests are “normal”, yet they still don’t feel like themselves. They are exhausted, not sleeping well, they struggle to think clearly add they are beginning to wonder if this is simply how life is going to be from now on.”
Lauren Michel, Certified Practising Nutritionist & Police Veteran.
While everyone’s health is different, these are some of the most common reasons people in these professions seek nutritional medicine support.

PTSD Recovery Support
Many current and former police officers and first responders live with PTSD or ongoing symptoms following repeated exposure to traumatic events.
Nutrition doesn’t replace psychological or medical care, nor is intended to treat PTSD, however supporting your nutritional status, sleep, energy, blood sugar regulation and overall health may form and important part of your broader recovery plan. I work collaboratively with clients as part of their wider healthcare team, providing personalised nutrition and lifestyle recommendations that support overall health and wellbeing.
You don't have to keep guessing why you feel this way. The first step is understanding what may be contributing to your symptoms so we can develop a personalised plan that's right for you.

Burnout and Chronic Stress
You used to cope with anything the job threw at you. Now everyday tasks feel overwhelming.
Perhaps you’re constantly exhausted, emotionally flat, irritable or you no longer enjoy the things you once loved. You keep pushing through because that is what is what you’ve always done but your body doesn't seem to recover the way it once did.

Poor Sleep and Insomnia
Sleep has become a battle.
You might struggle to fall asleep, wake repeatedly during the night or find yourself awake at 3am with your mind racing. Even when you do sleep, you rarely wake feeling refreshed and energised.

Persistent Fatigue
You’re tired from the moment you wake up.
Even after a full night’s sleep, your energy never seems to return. You rely on coffee or sugar to get through the day, only to crash later. Exercise feels harder than it used to and by the evening you’ve got nothing left for yourself or your family.

Brain Fog and Poor Concentration
Your body isn’t the only thing that is tired.
You forget simple things, lose your train of thought, struggle to concentrate or find it harder to make decisions. Many people describe it as feeling like they’re no longer thinking as clearly as they once did.
