24.01.2022 Have you been woken up with night sweats during MENOPAUSE (Andropause)?? I HAVE! But....It is NOT the sentence that you think it is! Blokes - you go through it too!... It is the time in your life that your ‘sex hormones’ switch to being produced by your adrenals. It should be seamless. For some it is. But, for many, it comes with symptoms. For some, those symptoms can be debilitating The reason we have these symptoms is NOT because it’s ‘a natural process’....... It’s because we have a history of: inflammation viral load stress Stress is a BIGGIE! WHY? Because your adrenals are responsible for producing ‘stress hormones’ and if you are experiencing high levels of stress INCLUDING VIGOROUS EXERCISE, this gets priority over the production of Estrogen progesterone testosterone Are you going through a tough time with peri-menopause or menopause? You don’t have to put up with it! Reach out

23.01.2022 It’s not just small children - and their parents - who are excited about getting back to the playground. Big kids are rapt they are re-opened too! Monkey bars, we have been apart for waaaay too long

17.01.2022 HELLO! IS IT YOU I'M SEARCHING FOR?? I'm spreading the LOVE of GREAT HEALTH & VITALITY and I need YOU! ... We've all been a little beaten up this year. I'm sure you are all just as OVER IT as I am SO I've decided to bring a little bit of LIGHT and HOPE into my corner of the world Read through for my exciting offer - I'm excited - can't speak for you! As you guys know, last year I completed a course in 'Functional medicine & Functional Movement' and have taken around 20 folks through a Functional health Reset to help improve their health. NOW I'm studying an Advanced Mentorship in Functional Health. We have just completed month 2 of the 6 month program (which looks like it could extend longer as we explore down rabbit holes). So far we have delved deeper into: Thyroid issues Hormone issues - particularly related to the period from first menstruation to premenopause Menopause - is next! We are exploring:- NOT symptoms NOT diagnosis........ BUT THE UNDERLYING REASONS FOR THE CHRONIC ISSUES PEOPLE ARE EXPERIENCING! It really becomes an INFLAMMATION INVESTIGATION as behind most chronic ills is some kind of Inflammation. So........ I am looking for THREE PEOPLE who are suffering from some kind of chronic issue (preferably related to Thyroid or premenopause hormonal issues but not exclusively these). I AM OFFERING THREE PEOPLE COMPLEMENTARY PROTOCOLS TO HELP THEM OVERCOME THESE ISSUES BY NEW YEAR! These would normally be priced at between $299 and $499 but I am offering just 3 for $0. Is there a catch?? Yes! of course there is! In exchange for nutting out and taking you step by step through your protocol towards wellness, I will be sharing your progress with our community; anonymously of course. Your anonymity is completely assured, but your case study will be followed by us all right here So, if you are sick & tired of feeling sick & tired; or someone in your family or group of friends is struggling; contact me via private message with your story. Let me know what is going on for you; how it makes you feel; how long you've been dealing with this; what you have tried or are still trying that has not completely worked for you and we will work through it together. YOU ARE NOT ALONE THERE IS HOPE You may be suffering with:(but not limited to) PCOS Endometriosis PMDD anxiety depression stubborn weight gain bloating, indigestion, IBS, SIBO Hashimotos Graves Under Active Thyroid Fibroids or any number of symptoms. Bring them all to me, let's get on top of this & restore you to optimum health. I am passionate about empowering people to restore good health & vitality. I’m in your corner AND LET'S HAVE A RIPPER 2021!

13.01.2022 I LOVE the teachings of this man; Dr. John Perry Nickelston, of ‘Stop Chasing Pain’! This is why all of my clients start each session with some lymphatic work - it is not JUST for my entertainment If you have tried many modalities to deal with chronic pain or issues with no luck, it could be time to tap into this often ignored system.... As the good Doc says: If you can’t drain, you can’t heal. Ever swum in a pool which hasn’t been cleaned for a while.... that’s how the cells of your body feel when lymph is stuck or stagnant. Clean that baby out!

12.01.2022 Mojo is returning! Out running yesterday, I caught the heady aroma of the May Tree blossom. I LOVE it! This fragrance takes me waaaaay back to childhood, a sign that Spring is around the corner ... It also had me thinking of our educational session on Friday with John Polley & Kate McGrath, discussing the therapeutic role of essential oils in dealing with trauma. Kate revealed that certain oils can help lift us from depression, calm anxiety & lessen the symptoms of winter ills such as colds, flu & other respiratory conditions: woody oils (eg Frankincense) = grounding flower oils = comforting & calming Wild orange = support for anxiety Peppermint = invigorating & cooling; good for most ills Lavender = calming, relieving tension, relieving skin irritations Lemon + Teatree = great combo for colds & sniffles That is just a few! The discussion also highlighted that smell can trigger memories & - as was the case for me yesterday - happy, uplifting thoughts. For the first time in about 4 weeks, I felt the mojo return to my running..... and to my soul Other favourite aromas for me: the ocean coffee brewing slicing into a ripe, juicy orange freshly cut grass in Springtime freshly baked bread Would love to hear your faves!

11.01.2022 Almost ten months of Zoom and the F-U-N continues! Today’s session featured most of my family and (a hopefully unheard) F-word. To make it even more cringey, the participants had never met me before ... Do you think they’ll be back next week....?

10.01.2022 I WISH I’D KNOWN THIS 30 YEARS AGO! When was the last time you said this out loud? (Ok smarty pantses some of you weren’t around 30 years ago but substitute 30 for 5, 10 or 20 ) I’ve said it several times in the last week! ...Continue reading

09.01.2022 FUN FACT: I’ve not put petrol in my car since June 25th; that is almost 10 weeks! In that same time, I have run 40km further than I’ve driven! ... Spending more on coffee than petrol = winning!

08.01.2022 A very timely message from my fabulous friend & coach, John Polley - JP. Especially for all of us who have dived headlong back into 'normal life' in the past few weeks, right in time for Christmas! Small steps towards your goal (whatever it is) is more likely to head you in the right direction. ...

07.01.2022 YOU CANNOT HEAL WHEN YOU ARE DEFENDING! The Good Doc, John Perry Nickelston, tells us this over & over again, in many different ways. What the heck does he mean by that?... We humans are hard wired for survival. Our body & brain’s number one priority is to NOT die Pretty Nifty huh!! In the good ol’ days, we needed to be able to run from the Tiger or wrestle bears for food. Our body put all of its energy into that running Or wrestling Or climbing trees & cliff faces Because there’s no point in: growing nice nails having a perfectly functioning digestive system sporting a head of beautiful, shiny hair etc etc ....... if you’ve been eaten by the Tiger! These days, in times of chronic stress, our body still thinks it is running from the Tiger! We don’t differentiate between stresses, real or perceived. Whether it’s: hurrying our way through the ‘To-Do list’ pushing towards that project deadline Arguing with our teenagers..... general day-to-day chaos In this chronic stressed or ‘SYMPATHETIC DOMINANT’ state our bodies are just trying to survive, there is often nothing left for healing or growth. THE GREAT NEWS?? We can help ourselves THE EVEN BETTER NEWS? it doesn’t have to cost a thing! Toning or stimulating our Vagus nerve, encourages our PARASYMPATHETIC Nervous System which calms the farm , encourages our internal organs to function optimally and promotes growth & repair in our mind and body How do we ‘Go To Vagus’? (Baby!) Laughing Getting first morning sunlight - or any sunlight cold water exposure - try turning your shower to cold for the last 30 seconds & breeeeeathe Deep, diaphragmatic breathing circular movements Humming, singing, chanting Gargling tapping collarbone & chest hugging Gratitude To name just a few ways Costs you nothing but can make a BIG difference. And you know what even if it only makes 1% difference each time, that adds up every day, every week I’d love to hear what you do - knowingly or not until now - to stimulate your vagus nerve and calm the #%* down Any questions? YELL!

06.01.2022 Aaaaaannnnd off we Zoom again! I’m not the only one who misses seeing my clients face to face The ‘Welcoming Committee’ knows when I’m preparing for the next session & positions himself ready to greet his favourite humans

05.01.2022 When Functional Medicine Complements Traditional medicine: "Darl, your foot looks like the Christmas Ham; I just wanna take a bite out of it!" Sadly, this was just as true as it was bizarre ... Due to overuse patterns of compensation from a long term bunion, my foot has not been functioning as a normal foot. I haven't been able to walk normally, let alone run on it and it is almost impossible to squeeze the ol' Ham Hock into a pair of shoes. I've been doing (almost) all of the right things: Rest Intrinsic foot muscle mobiliers Lymph work Eating well & avoiding inflammatory foods Physiotherapy Hoping...... BUT...... It was remaining a Big old swollen #hamhock full of unhappiness and sleep deprivation was an issue. and THEN, 'Dr. Bernard Lazzaro', (who by this stage was over me crashing each day with fatigue) twisted my arm to give over the counter anti-inflmmatories a go. So... I did. And...... I slept well The swelling went down Pain subsided BUT..... after 24 hours My gut was upset. we all know that anti-inflammatories CAN upset our gut, especially with prolonged use. I only managed 24-48 hours before the gut protesting began. However...... Luckily, I have been learning some amazing and very helpful info in our Functional Health Mentorship; so have added into my daily regime: A good gut powder 'Digestzen' Essential Oil blend Collagen Lymph work Vagus Nerve stimulation (to calm the sytem) to help my gut manage what the occasional A-Is have been doing to it. Thank heavens for a great balance between the traditional and the Functional Health to help me on the path to greater Wellbeing In Summary: Sometimeswhen pain & issues are severe, we need to use traditional medication to help us over the acute phase. HOWEVER: Functional medicine practices can help keep the rest of our system healthy & happy while we are recovering and reduce the likelihood of any further damage to the system. If you are struggling with an issue and have needed to resort to some invasive medical practises which may have left you with less than ideal side effects, reach out There IS hope!

04.01.2022 DON’T SUFFER IN SILENCE!! Peri-menopause & menopause does not have to be so hard It is amazing how relatively simple it is to have a smooth, issue free transition through menopause ... If you don’t feel that you are being your TRUE, HIGH PERFORMING SELF, we can help you find that self again LIFE, really can begin at 50! (ish)

02.01.2022 He spent his health to get his wealth; And then, with might & main; He turned about & spent his wealth... To get his health again! We are not spending our wealth, but paradoxically, spending our HEALTH to avoid a disease! In our case, the cure (lockdown) is proving more detrimental to our long term health than the disease. So..... because we have all been more than a little beaten up this year, I’m doing my small bit to bring light, hope & wellbeing to my corner of the world. As you know, on top of the ‘Functional medicine & Functional movement’ course I completed a year ago, I am currently studying an Advanced Mentorship in Functional Health. I AM OFFERING THREE PEOPLE A COMPLEMENTARY PROTOCOL TO HELP THEM OVERCOME THEIR CHRONIC HEALTH ISSUES! This would usually be priced between $299-499 but I am offering 3 for $0 The catch? I hear you ask.... ...although you will remain anonymous, I will be sharing your progress with this community. So, if you are sick & tired of feeling sick & tired; or someone in your family or group of friends is struggling; contact me via private message with your story. Let me know what is going on & for how long; how it makes you feel; & what you have already tried that has not completely worked for you. YOU ARE NOT ALONE! THERE IS HOPE! I am passionate about empowering people to restore good health & vitality I’m in your corner Peace out
