24.01.2022 Let’s talk about Collagen! Collagen is the most abundant protein in the body, It helps provide structure & strength to skin, bones, tendons , cartilage, connective tissue and teeth. Think of collagen as the glue that holds together all of your connective tissues in the body, without collagen tissues can weaken and the ageing process can be accelerated. Supplementation.... Collagen supplements are generally derived from bovine (cow sources) . However, vegan sources do exist and are derived from soy or legumes, there isn’t however as much existing research on their efficacy. Most collagen supplements are made from hydrolysed collagen, which means they are broken down in to smaller easy to digest particles. Collagen production declines as you age, therefore supplementing with collagen can help improve skin elasticity and decrease wrinkle depth Some of the benefits of collagen can include . Anti-ageing effects on the skin . Increased structure and integrity of the gut lining . Improved joint function & mobility . Improved nail health and growth . Improved hair health I started supplementing with collagen about 2 months ago & have noticed a HUGE difference in my nail strength & growth, the brand I initially used contained some unnecessary additives so I made the switch to @nutraorganic collagen beauty and can’t recommend it highly enough. #cleanbeauty #greenbeauty #wellness #holisticbeauty #ethical #sustainable #ethicalliving #crueltyfree #collagen #clearskin #supplements
24.01.2022 Alcohol A controversial topic, alcohol and recreational drug use is a subject that is often addressed during an initial naturopathic consultation due to its ability to impact health. Alcohol is essentially empty calories and therefore can contribute to weight gain, suppress immunity and lead to significant anxiety, it can also be a ritual or a way of connection for some. Whats most important is assessing your relationship to alcohol and how it enhances your life. For me pe...rsonally I had a really unhealthy relationship with alcohol when I was younger and its taken me a long time to navigate how it fits in to my life. I feel this is an important topic to discuss with young people as it can be a significant contributor to health problems, what I love about being a naturopath is that judgement is left at the door and we are trained to help you look at and assess what parts of your lifestyle are enhancing or inhibiting your health. #alcohol #mentalhealth #studentnaturopath #holisticmedicine #endeavourstudent #naturalmedicine #naturopathy #herbalmedicine #womenshealth #nourishyourbody #holisticliving #health See more
21.01.2022 THE FERTILE WINDOW Did you know that you are only really fertile for 7 days throughout your cycle? This is what is known as the fertile window which occurs 5 days prior to ovulation & 2 days after ovulation. This is because sperm has the ability to survive inside the female reproductive tract for up to 5 days. This essentially means that sperm can wait for the egg. However 48 hours after ovulation a woman is no longer able to fall pregnant because the egg is no longer in... the Fallopian tubes and actually disintegrates & is absorbed back in to the body. This is why cycle tracking is so essential, when you know when you’re ovulating you can detect your fertile window to either plan or prevent pregnancy #womenshealth #menstrualhealth #periodtalk #menstruation #periodpower #periodpositive #studentnaturopath #holisticmedicine #endeavourstudent #naturalmedicine #naturopathy #herbalmedicine #nourishyourbody #holisticliving #health #naturopathy #cycletracking #fertilityawarenesssmethod #loveyourcycle #wombwisdom #womeninflow #knowyourbody #preconceptioncare See more
21.01.2022 Vitamin D Is so very important for optimal health, it plays an integral role in bone growth/maintenance, immunity and gene expression. Low vitamin D levels are common in autoimmune conditions and poor immunity, as well as rickets in children and osteoporosis in adults. Vitamin D can be obtained from two sources. From food in animal based products and from the synthesis of sunlight. ... Vitamin D absorption from sunlight occur when a cholesterol precursor stored in the skin is exposed to UV light and produces precholecalciferol. Precholecalciferol then forms cholecalciferol (the scientific name for vitamin D3). Vitamin D3 is stored within the body in the liver, adipose tissue and muscle . However for the body to utilise stored vitamin D it requires adequate magnesium & for the Vitamin D to be absorbed in the first place adequate cholesterol is also needed. To increase your Vitamin D levels expose your face and arms to 15 minutes of UV-B rays daily. Or alternatively ensure an adequate intake of eggs, mushrooms, fortified milks or consider supplementation if sunlight exposure is inadequate #studentnaturopath #holisticmedicine #endeavourstudent #naturalmedicine #naturopathy #herbalmedicine #womenshealth #nourishyourbody #holisticliving #health #vitamind #nutrition #fatsoluble #vitamins #uvexposure #nutrition See more

18.01.2022 One of the six naturopathic principles is the healing power of nature . In our modern society we’re always on the go & spend an increasing amount of time hiding behind screens & indoors. it’s often forgotten just how therapeutic a walk outside, a trip to the beach, or an adventure through the rainforest can be. We are designed to be in touch with nature & it is grounding for our body & soul. How can you integrate some time in nature in to your week? I always try to incorporate a beach walk whenever I catch up with friends #naturetherapy #hydrotherapy #naturopathy #slowliving

18.01.2022 Did you know that fish don’t actually produce omega-3’s but obtain it from eating algae & plankton. . Therefore, vegan sources of omega-3’s are derived from algae oils & supplementing with a high quality algae oil that has undergone rigorous testing to ensure low levels of mercury and environmental contaminants is another way to ensure adequate intake of EFA’s. My go to reccomendation for vegans is @nordicnaturals Algae Omega. #nutrition #eattherainbow #foodismedicine #foodasmedicine #vegan #plantbased #vegetarian #soulfood #nourish #healthfood #antioxidants #nutrition #nourishyourbody #studentnaturopath #foodstagram #cleaneats #plantpowered #wholefooddiet #eatmoreplants #plantbased #foodforfuel #healthyeatinghabits #nourishingfood #nutritionalmedicine @ Gold Coast, Queensland

Dietary fibre is found naturally in foods such as whole grains, fruits & vegetables. It is often added in to processed foods, it is not, however found in meat or dairy products. Why is it important? ... Fibre intake is important to ensure gastrointestinal health, stabilise blood sugar levels, balance cholesterol levels & ensure adequate elimination of hormone.

12.01.2022 Quiet often when I tell someone I’m a student naturopath I get a blank confused look, so what exactly is naturopathy!? Naturopathy is a form of holistic medicine, it utilises a blend of traditional herbal remedies and modern evidence-based research to identify and address individual drivers of disease. The practise of naturopathic medicine is grounded in six core principles.... - First, do no harm - The healing power of nature - Identify and treat the cause - Naturopath as teacher - Treat the whole person - Prevention Naturopathy views the body in its whole complexity and respects the principle of synergy, believing that an imbalance or illness in one aspect of the body affects another area, it views symptoms as messengers of an imbalance within the body. Naturopathy believes in the innate healing capacity of the body and therefore aims to support and stimulate the bodies own vital force through diet, lifestyle changes, herbal medicine and stress management techniques. Naturopathic medicine empowers its users through education and encourages an active role in your own state of health, with an emphasis on restoring a state of balance to the body and preventing relapse. Have you ever seen a naturopath?! #studentnaturopath #holisticmedicine #endeavourstudent #naturalmedicine #naturopathy #herbalmedicine #womenshealth #nourishyourbody #holisticliving #health
11.01.2022 All blue irises are referred to as lymphatic types and are more prone to upper respiratory complaints and an array of inflammatory conditions. This divine eye has what is referred to as a constricted autonomic nerve wreath (ANW) a constricted ANW indicates a person with reduced digestive and absorption capabilities, this beauty would therefore be more suited to small frequent meals with high quality ingredients. A constricted ANW also indicates that this individual is prone to anxiety and excitability and therefore frequent activation of the sympathetic nervous system can occur, grounding practices and ensuring adequate time out are imperative to help activate their parasympathetic nervous system. #iridology #iris #naturopathy #lymphatictypes

04.01.2022 Seed cycling Seed cycling is the act of consuming different seeds throughout your menstrual cycle to support hormone levels. In the first half of the cycle the aim is to boost oestrogen levels & in the 2nd half of the cycle to boost progesterone levels. This can help regulate irregular cycles, decrease PMS & balance flow. Eating seeds provides the body with lignans a phyto-estrogen compound that has the ability to bind up excessive hormones and essential fatty acids which ...provide the base needed for making all hormones . How do I seed cycle? Follicular phase (day 1-14) Consume 1 tbsp flax seeds p/d 1 tbsp sunflower seeds p/d Luteal phase (day 15-28) Consume 1 tbsp sunflower seeds p/d 1 tbsp sesame seeds p/d #loveyourcycle #womeninflow #embraceyourcycle #periodtalk #wombwisdom #femininerising #menstruationmatters #periodpositive #pmsproblems #knowyourbody #menstrualcycleawareness #periodpower #happyperiod #mensturalcycle See more

01.01.2022 Flower essences are vibrational herbal preparations made from from the flowering parts of plants. The vibrational energy of the chosen flower is extracted in to the water and diluted to take under the tongue. Each flower has a specifically indicated purpose and therapeutic properties. Flower essences are primarily used to support the emotional, mental and spiritual state. They impact emotions, the psyche, the body, the mind and overall aim to remedy negative em...otional states that can hinder personal growth and health. Each essence is intentionally selected for particular emotional states, being drawn to a particular essence can indicate an area that requires healing. This particular essence is Freshwater mangrove and it is indicated for those with a closed heart due to expectations or prejiduces which have been taught, not personally experienced. Thus the positive outcome from taking a freshwater mangrove essence is an openness to new experiences, people, and perceptual shifts, it leads to healthy questioning of traditional standards and beliefs. #floweressences #vibrationalremedies #energeticmedicine #emotionalhealing #bushfloweressences #ABFE #freshwatermangrove #naturopathy See more
