Check out her first appearance there describing her path to better nutrition. I thought it was perfectly normal to feel tired, anxious and wired all the time, because I had been on that particular treadmill for so many years, it was the only life I knew, she says. It all caught up with me, as poor nutrition tends to do and so, finally sick and t...ired of feeling sick and tired, I started to make some changes. A swerve in career direction led to her new passion Alimentary where she is a practising nutritionist and health educator, offering online or clinical consultations, workshops, health and well-being programs around Melbourne. https://www.agfg.com.au//its-alimentary-we-talk-health-and

08.01.2022 Alison Wright, our nutritional practitioner, discusses how food can help your mood and mental state with the Australian Good Food Guide. "One of the first things I noticed when I started to become more conscious of my nutrition was that my anxiety started to drop away and I felt happy and more content in my daily life, Ali says. "I stopped getting so worked up about little things and it became easier to keep perspective. [ 39 more words ] http://balanceosteopathy.com/food-is-medicine

07.01.2022 The new normal It has been interesting in the clinic the past few weeks seeing a. new array of presentations. We have had working from home who have dramatically reduced their daily activity and noticed the impact on their bodies. We have had others who have embraced online high intensity workouts with great enthusiasm. Many people are also feeling the effect of a few months not being able to engage socially and the effect on mental health and secondarily on the way their bo...dy feels and is able to move. As Osteopaths, we are able to be a supportive point of contact, provide hands on treatment, and advice on movement and rehabilitation. In doing so, we also connect with the biological, psychological and social aspects of people. Many people currently seem to be reassessing their priorities around work life balance; perhaps a silver lining to what continues to be a difficult time. Managed a hike in the Mt Dandenong forest a few weekends ago, an area where I grew up, and a reserve of energy for me. Others find an ocean swim, bike ride or local walk equally recharging. These opportunities are invaluable to our health and wellbeing and it has been nice to hear from others what has helped them. We hope you are coping during the emergence into the 'new normal'. If you do need support from us in any way, we are here for you and open as usual. Have a great day.

02.01.2022 TRAINING LOAD AND MANAGING YOUR INJURY RISK. Training load refers to the cumulative effect of the amount of training you do and and at what intensity you train during those sessions. An interesting study examined the relationship between training load and injury risk and included athletes of all levels. Theres a link to the article below:... How much is too much? (Part 1) International Olympic Committee consensus statement on load in sport and risk of injury https://bjsm.bmj.com/content/50/17/1030 The article discusses how many factors can affect training load both internal and external (e.g. life stresses). A nice useful takeaway from the discussion I found was the concept of aiming to keep training load between 0.8-1.2 times the average of the past 4 weeks to reduce the risk of injury. In other words, if for example, you have averaged 150km cycling per week for 4 weeks, hitting up 180km is safe for the coming weeks volume. Equally training the following week at less than 0.8 (80%) of the previous 4 week average may result in less training stimulus for effective adaptation (this may be good for tapering though prior to an event) Obviously when combining cycling, running and swimming or various activities it can become less simplistic to work out but it gives you perhaps some useful concepts. Quite relevant though if due to life circumstances or illness you have had a break, this significantly affects the average volume over the past 4 weeks, then what you should plan for your return to cycling week Also the discussion encompasses life stresses and their effect on tolerance to training load. The study seems unclear on best way to monitor readiness for training but advocates multiple objective (e.g. HR) and subjective (e.g. RPE) in conjunction with potentially some psychosocial measures. Not really a definitive guide, but an interesting read and gives you some things to consider for training load and how to effectively manage the various things that feed into or inhibit performance (e.g. training volume, intensity, competition phase, life stress, sleep, nutrition etc). Hope you find it useful.
