Have you noticed the bounty that is all around you at the momement? The hedgerows in town and county are absolutely bursting with berries, apples are hanging heavy on branches, and that unmistakable nip of autumn is in the air. There’s inner wisdom in what nature serves up and when it becomes available. By offering exactly what we need we become more able to shift from lazy summer days into the bustle of September routines.

We see it in practice all the time with clients coming to The Natural Clinic. People trying to juggling everything from hormonal chaos to chronic pain, energy that’s gone walkabout, or sleep that’s more elusive than a decent parking spot. Some of the best medicine is growing right outside your door.

What’s in Season and Why Your Body Will Thank You

Let me tell you about nature’s little powerhouses that are ripe for the picking right now:

Elderberries are like having a gentle bouncer for your immune system. Packed with antiviral compounds, they’re brilliant if you’re one of those people who crashes every time there’s a bug going around, or if fatigue has you feeling like you’re constantly fighting something off.

Apples and pears aren’t just for the lunchbox—they’re prebiotic goldmines. Your gut bacteria absolutely love the fibre, and when your gut’s happy, everything else starts falling into place: better hormone balance, improved mood, even more restful sleep. Plus, they’re very handy for those afternoon energy dips, serve them with some almond or cashew butter for a balanced and delicious snack.

Hawthorn berries have been the go-to for anxious hearts for centuries. If hormonal changes have you feeling like your heart’s dancing without your permission, or if bedtime brings racing thoughts instead of rest, hawthorn’s your gentle friend.

Blackberries (and fair play if you can pick them without getting scratched to bits!) are inflammation fighters extraordinaire. Rich in polyphenols, they’re particularly helpful if you’re dealing with chronic pain, autoimmune flares, or that frustrating brain fog that makes you forget where you put your keys… again.

Why This Isn’t Just Another Health Trend

You don’t need to bin everything in your fridge and live on foraged berries! That’s not realistic when you’ve got a family to feed and a life to live. But there’s something to be said for tuning into what’s naturally available and using it to support whatever your body’s going through.

With 2 decades of experience in well-being and as a Naturopath and Nutritional Therapist, Louise has watched women transform their energy, sleep, and pain levels simply by working with, rather than against, natural rhythms. Learn tools to draw from in your day to day, with
