Waking at 3am, exhausted but wired - and feeling like your body has completely changed?
This isn't just stress, and you're not imagining it. For women in their 40s, this is often the first sign that something's shifted — and it's worth understanding why.
You might not even realise these are connected
-
Waking between 2–4am, mind racing, can't switch off
-
Hot flushes or night sweats disrupting your sleep
-
Brain fog — forgetting words, losing focus mid-sentence
-
Exhausted all day but wired the moment you lie down
-
Irritable, anxious, or emotionally flat for no clear reason
-
Reacting to foods or supplements you used to tolerate fine
-
Bloating, digestive changes, or histamine symptoms
-
Doing everything "right" but still not feeling well
You might have been told you're just stressed. You might have been told your bloods are normal. You might be wondering if this is just what getting older feels like.
But when your sleep, energy, mood and digestion all start shifting at once, it's worth looking at the whole picture — not just one symptom at a time.
This is where we start connecting the dots
When women come to me burnt out, not sleeping, or reacting to everything — there are almost always a few patterns underneath.
The woman waking at 3am isn't always dealing with just a sleep problem. The woman gaining weight around her middle may also be dealing with appetite changes, stress, blood sugar and hormones, all at once. The woman suddenly reacting to foods she's eaten for years may have shifts happening in her gut and immune system.
None of these things tend to happen in isolation — which is exactly why it feels so confusing.
I don't start with a generic perimenopause protocol. I look at your symptoms, history, lifestyle and any relevant testing, and build a plan around what's actually going on for you.
After our first consultation I walked away super happy and excited (I felt like someone finally wanted to help me and listening to me!!) so thank you!

Meet Karyn Campbell
I'm Karyn Campbell, naturopath and founder of Hābu Health. I work with capable, high-functioning women who are used to holding everything together — until their body starts pushing back.
I've been practising for 20 years, and I'm also navigating perimenopause myself right now — so this isn't theory for me. I don't hand out the same protocol to everyone; every plan is built around your history, your symptoms and what's actually going on for you.
What I want for you: to understand your own body again, trust it, and have the energy to show up for your life.
Ready to find out what your body is trying to tell you?

I look beyond one symptom
Hormones, gut, sleep and stress don't operate separately — so I don't treat them separately either.
Testing when it actually helps
DUTCH, HTMA, Microba and DNA testing are available when they'll give us useful answers — not run as standard for everyone.
Experience, from both sides
20 years in clinical practice, and I'm living through perimenopause myself. Available Australia-wide via telehealth.
