TEMPOTAL MATTERS
The founder of a start-up functional medicine brand approached me to develop their brand voice, core copy applications and a way of promoting the benefits of their supplements without making illegal scientific claims around healing. The latter was a real challenge given the company’s value proposition is based on supplements balancing hormones and improving the health of women.
They wanted beautiful, poetic language and visuals that appeal to their core audience. In response, I created a way of leveraging metaphors found in nature that mirror human health and weaving them through copy to demonstrate how their supplements can support balancing hormones.
I also gently challenged them to consider how they approached gender, given not all those with ovaries identify as women.

Red Reishi mushroom
A rich red fruiting body fanning out from the bark of deciduous trees, the Red Reishi mushroom, sometimes regally referred to as “the king of mushrooms,” has been used across Asia throughout history to promote radiant health and longevity.
Alpha-lipoic acid
A naturally occurring antioxidant living in our hard-working bodies, Alpha-lipoic acid is made inside a powerhouse of cells and metamorphosises the nutrients from our food into energy.
Inositols
Like a tree’s growth lines, inositols are ringed structures abundant in the natural world, from the cell membranes of our bodies to the many fruits and vegetables we eat. Evidencing the power of nature, inositols regulate vital functions in our bodies.

CHRONIC ILLNESS
As the day wakes at dawn and retires at dusk, the cycles of nature are unaffected by the challenges of everyday life. We too are part of this great performance of water and light. But, when our inner worlds feel disrupted by life’s stressors, radiance may seem far from reach. By harnessing the wisdom of nature and cultivating healthy habits, with Temporal Matters we have the power to gently intervene, settling our bodies back into their innate rhythms and experience renewed vitality.
From the first menstruation to menopause, those with ovaries experience a monthly cycle of hormone fluctuations. If unbalanced, hormone changes may cause you to experience debilitating physical and emotional symptoms — pain, acne, facial hair, weight gain, anxiety and fatigue — without knowing why, perhaps blaming yourself. You may have tried medications. You may have tried therapy. You may have tried dubious remedies, lotions and potions to manage your symptoms without success. But. there is hope of experiencing yourself differently.
Temporal Matters formulations are designed to empower you to prioritise your body, helping you know relief so you can live a healthier, happier and more fulfilled life. With renewed vigour, we turn our eyes to the sun.
