25.01.2022 The importance of smaller steps... Very important, especially when improving your diet & lifestyle, as otherwise it can be overwhelming.

25.01.2022 I haven't posted a 'food of the week' for gut health for a while, but when I came across this study about avocados altering Gastrointestinal Bacteria Abundance and Microbial Metabolite Concentrations, I thought I just have to share this. #guthealth #nutrition #microbiome #guthealth #IBS #ibd #bloating #Constipation #weightloss
24.01.2022 Who loves pineapples? When I lived in Switzerland years ago, I could only eat a pineapple occasionally, but now that I live in pineapple heaven, I enjoy them frequently. Did you know that bromelain - an enzyme found in pineapple juice and in the pineapple stem has got medicinal properties? For my gut health clients I often use it to help with inflammation and other symptoms found in IBD (Inflammatory Bowel Disease) or for those who struggle with fat absorption. ... Bromelains anti-inflammatory action is also used for reducing swelling, especially of the nose and sinuses, after surgery or injury. Consider it if you have an injury with bruises a study showed that Bromelain cleared all bruisers in boxers within 4 days! But Bromelain has got so many more healing properties. It has been identified to have anti-cancer activity, antimicrobial action, help with pain and stiffness in patients with knee osteoarthritis, benefit in sinusitis and lung health issues, and even increase the action of some antibiotics. I bet next time you eat pineapple you will appreciate this amazing fruit even more. #bromelain #pineapple #enzymes #ibd #IBS #bloating #guthealth #guthealing
24.01.2022 WHO is giving you advice? When it comes to your body & health, it is important to know who is giving you advice and why they are doing this. Where does their information come from? Are they really an expert? I see quite a few people that are doing this diet or taking this supplement because this person said that it is great.. and not knowing that it is actually doing the opposite for them. What works for one person, does not work for everybody. ... Every body is different and even natural things can be damaging if not taking appropriately. #healthadvice
23.01.2022 We have been given a great opportunity to change our lives, our appreciation, our values, our environment and of course, OUR HEALTH - which we all know IS GREATER THAN WEALTH. I have really needed a time out to reflect and work on things that I have been neglecting. Of course, I would not have chosen this situation, but am trying to make the best of it. I have always enjoyed living where I am, but now I am appreciating it even more...the nature, freedom & possibilities. ... I also feel grateful for my health as well as being able to help others to be & stay healthy. I also appreciate the health system Australia offers - I feel safe. There is much more, but I dont want to bore you What opportunity have you been given? #changeyourlife #health #wellbeing #proactive #opportunities
23.01.2022 Do you feel bloated? Did you know that there are lots of things that cause bloating, and seeing a Naturopath can help you identify what they may be for you.

22.01.2022 A caterpillar must endure a season of isolation before it turns into a butterfly. Embrace the time you have alone, it will only make you stronger. -Steven Aitchison-
22.01.2022 Eat vegetables which are in season - they are generally fresher as they have been picked for consumption and naturally ripened on the vine or the tree and harvested at the right time. When transporting crops, they must be harvested early and refrigerated to stop it spoiling during transportation. Time and the chilling process reduces the flavour. photo by Endeavour Wellness Clinic... #healthyeating #healthyfood #vegetables

Block Blue Light currently offers 25% off their glasses. Check them out with this link below: https://www.blockbluelight.com.au/?aff=155... #sleep #insomnia #melatonin #eyehealth

19.01.2022 I find counting calories, calculating grams etc. stressful & time-consuming and have never done it in my life. Still, we all need to have balanced meals to get our protein, vitamin, minerals, fibre...so how to do this without having to put in too much effort? Here is the link to my guide that helps you with creating balanced meals in an easy way: http://eepurl.com/ciQ9jP... #healthyeating #balancedmeals #mealplan #mealplanning
19.01.2022 Did you run out of your disinfectant and cant find any in the shops? While I do not encourage people to use too much disinfectants, this is a time where cleaning your door handles, steering wheel of your car and everything you touch when you enter the house might be a good idea. Here are some alternative disinfectants that you can make yourself. While I dont have any research showing how effective they could be agains the Coronavirus, I think they might still be better tha...n other cleaning agents. Add in spray bottle, either: * Basic undiluted rubbing alcohol * 10 - 30 drops of 100% essential Thyme oil in approx. 200 ml of water * 1 part water, 1 part vinegar and 5-15 drops of 100% essential Eucalyptus or Rosemary or Cinnamon oil.
19.01.2022 Talking to clients about your poo and wee is normal for me as this can tell me a lot about their health. Use this chart to see if you have drank enough water. I recommend to drink 2L (8 glasses) each day consistently.... Even 1-3% dehydration can significantly impact your energy, memory and brain function. PS: Bright yellow urine is common when taking a vitamin B supplement. This is mainly due to the B2 vitamin, also known as riboflavin. Flavin comes from the Latin flavus which means yellow. #dehydration #water #pee

19.01.2022 Who makes kefir? I can feel a (gut) differences when I drink my kefir daily and research shows that it has an anti-virulence effect of one of its key yeasts, Kluyveromyces marxianus. Milk kefir is superior to water kefir. Many of my lactose intolerant clients can handle it well, as the lactose is fermented to lactic acid. Also the milk protein structure is significantly modified by the fermentation process. Kefir produces a bioactive molecule, kefiran which has beneficial... immune-modulating properties and is also largely responsible for the thickening of the milk. !!! Talk to me next time you come to see me; I might have some kefir 'babies' in the fridge for you. https://link.springer.com/epdf/10.1186/s40168-021-01027-8 #immunity #guthealthforlife #ibs #ibdawareness #microbiome Picture from BBC good food
17.01.2022 When I first did my first detox many years ago, it consisted of only drinking vegetables juice (including a horrible potato juice) for one week. I felt horrible, sick and weak and never did it again. Today I know that the correct way to support your body to detox is very different. Avoiding certain foods and increasing others, using supportive supplements and gentle exercise not only helps to get rid of toxins, but also to feel and look more energised, correct bad eating habi...ts and loose some unnecessary kilos. Detox is like a vacation for your body you allow your body to slow down and correct some functions that it might be struggling with. Its much better to lead a healthy life with minimal toxin exposure than to do a detox once a year. Here are some easy suggestions to support your bodys detox: => A fantastic way to kick start your digestion and cleanse the system: Squeeze the juice of half a lemon in a cup of room temperature or warm water. Drink first thing in the morning before breakfast. ! use a straw to protect your teeth => A super simple way to increase your veggie intake is to add a salad to every meal! It provides you with important nutrients and fibre which is critical for effective detoxification. => Fibre works best with water so make sure you drink plenty. => Drinking approx. 2L of water (part of this could be herbal tea) also hydrates your body and supports the detoxification process of your cells. => Exercise moves our lymph fluid, aiding the clearing of wastes.

17.01.2022 We dont laugh because were happy, were happy because we laugh. Dr. Madan Kataria Yesterday was World Laughter Day! I hope you had a good laugh!... Laughing increases our wellbeing, reduces stress and makes our body release substances that lower our pain & inflammation. On top of that, it boosts our immune system! #laugher #immunesystem #painrelease

16.01.2022 If you are not sure how fresh your eggs are, try putting them in water to see if they sink or float. If they sink to the bottom, they are fresh. If they float, they are old. When an egg ages, the small air pocket inside it grows larger as water is released and replaced by air. If the air pocket becomes large enough, the egg may float.... ! This test will not tell you whether an egg is good or bad, just that it is fresh or old.

15.01.2022 Can you feel it in the air...winter is coming... Exposure to cold temperatures suppresses the immune system, so the opportunities for infection increase. Also, flu viruses thrive in colder temperature. On top of that, the coronavirus is causing havoc around the world. Plenty of reasons for us to think about how we can make sure that our immune system stays strong.

14.01.2022 So...I made this Swiss Zopf bread this morning for breakfast. Not very nutritious but I dont always have to eat perfectly and I dont feel guilty at all. Because I know that the whole family enjoys this treat, that I will make sure to eat good nutritious food during the rest of the day and because this is life! Eating a good diet is not about being perfect, its about knowing what is good for your body, how much not so great food you can enjoy while making sure that you g...ive your body the nutrients it deserves. Seeking perfection can cause you to avoid and miss out on a satisfying food experience. What I have learnt from living in Switzerland is that while Swiss people enjoy their bread, cheese and chocolates (who wouldnt!), they dont eat much junk food such as McDonalds and enjoy eating lengthly meals in good company. So, if you want to enjoy something which is not so nutritious, make sure its of good quality, free of colours, additives and preservatives & enjoy! Have a great weekend everybody! #healthyeating

13.01.2022 As the first spring days start warming up the outside temperature, I start replacing my soups with salads. Today I used one of my favourite vegetables to make a yummy salad. Fennel is rich in vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. Animal studies show that it is anticancer, antimicrobial, antiviral and anti-inflammatory. But what I like best about fennel is that it helps with bloating (that’s why you will often find it in my herbal gut tonic) and.....(click link for recipe) https://bit.ly/3BzWq64

12.01.2022 Home Office - Tip #1 Courtesy to my sister who is an ergonomics consultant, I will share tips on how to set up your home office so that you not only enjoy working, but also ensure that you are comfortable and avoid injuries. SET UP YOUR OWN WORK OASIS... Choose a location for your home workstation where you feel at ease and can work well. If you look at a blank wall, decorating it with pictures, photos or postcards will spice it up. If you cannot work in a separate room, you could use a shelving unit or room divider to partition off your work area. Plants can also help you to set up a work oasis for yourself where you feel comfortable. Light Your workplace should receive as much natural light as possible. To prevent reflections and glare, the ideal solution is to position your workplace at right-angles to a window. #homeoffice #ergonomics #healthandsafety

11.01.2022 Well my Christmas trip was different than planned. After visiting friends on the Northern Beaches we had to turn around, go home and self-isolate for 14 days. Not being able to join the hustle and bustle around Christmas time was actually quite amazing (and probably needed) for my nervous system as I feel rested, relaxed and energised. I hope that you as well will find some time to look after yourself and enjoy some quiet time.... My first walk today after being stuck at home was wonderful; I missed exercising & nature. I wish you all a wonderful new year full of joy, peace and all good things!

If you have been reading my posts you will probably know that I love gut health, especially the guts microbiome which plays a big role in many aspects of our own wellbeing.

08.01.2022 Winter is usually the season where cold & flus are more like to be around - even in warm Queensland...and they often start with a sore throat. Gargling with salt water is an easy & safe method to ease a sore throat and even prevent a flu. It also aid with allergies, dental health and canker sores. Salt has been scientifically proven to help draw water out of oral tissues, while creating a salt barrier that locks out water and harmful pathogens from getting back inside.... Simply mix about 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon of salt to every 30ml of warm water (can also be cold). Gargle the water in the back of your throat for as long as you can, then swish the water around your mouth & teeth and spit it out. And hopefully you will feel much better than the slug in the picture.
