14.01.2022 How much water do you need to drink and why?

13.01.2022 Lets talk about the oral contraceptive pill 1. The bleed you are having whilst taking the pill is not a real period. It is a withdrawal bleed of the synthetic hormones. .. 2. Many young girls go on the pill to regulate their hormones. The OCP only suppresses your bodys own ability to produce its own hormones.... .. 3. Think of the pill like a bandaid, it is only placing a temporary solution for things like acne, heavy periods, painful periods, etc. So as soon as you stop taking the OCP, these things will return if not worse than before. .. 4. When taking the OCP you do not make any sex hormones of your own, you only have synthetic ones. This means your ovaries are completely shut down and you do not ovulate the whole time while on the OCP. For some women this can be for 20+ years .. 5. Many girls put off coming off the OCP as they think it will be hard work. Dont delay it if it is something you are wanting to do - the longer you leave it the more entrenched your period and hormonal issues will become. Especially if falling pregnant in the near future is important to you. .. 6. Many girls suffer with mental health issues when on the OCP. This is because your hormones are being suppressed. Imagine suppressing a mans testosterone - they would not be their energised, happy selves. This is exactly what happens to females when on the OCP. .. 7. The OCP suppresses sex drive and libido. Hows the irony in that considering most females take it for contraception. Educating women about this side of the pill is something Im SO passionate about, its not something the docs tell you when they prescribe it. AWARENESS IS KEY! After you are made aware of the pros and cons, if you still think it is the best decision for you then Ill happily support your body through the process . . . . . . . #thepill #oralcontraceptivepill #ocp #taboosubject #womenshealth #pcos #infertility #endometriosis #fertility #periodhealth #ovulation #bigpharma #pharmacology #naturopath #nutritionist #treatthecause #foodmood #libido #bandaid #harmfultruth #wellness See more

12.01.2022 In light of everything thats going on and winter not too far off heres some lifestyle tips to boost your immune system: REST & RECOVERY - rest is essential to support your immune system & general well-being. When you are overworked and run down, this is when your body is most susceptible to infections. . SLEEP - ensure 7-8 hours of sleep per night. Youre more likely to catch infection if your sleep deprived. ... . REDUCE TOXIN EXPOSURE - reduce smoking, alcohol, drugs, etc as they all create inflammation in your body and instead of your body using its energy to fight of pathogens, itll be trying to detox these toxins instead! . EXERCISE - getting regular exercise can help your immune system fight infection. . REDUCE STRESS- chronic stress exposes your body to higher amounts of hormones that can suppress your immune system. Manage your stress people!

11.01.2022 If a foreign pathogen (or bug) enters our body, our immune system needs to identify the pathogen, locate it in the body and destroy it. In order to do this, we need to ensure we have good immunity. So how do you know if you have a "good" immune system? Read my latest blog post to find out!
