23.01.2022 I know many of you might be doing it tough during these unusual times. So I want to reach out and ask "Are you OK?" Our health is at the forefront of this pandemic and should not be compromised. Our mental health and physical wellbeing will be key factors enabling us to come out of this lockdown with a positive outlook on life. While most of us are working from home at the moment, it is the perfect time to start implementing good habits. How about a 20-minute yoga session each day? Or eating more nutritious foods? Even the smallest change can have a significant difference on our wellbeing. Stay strong, stay positive and please do not hesitate to contact me if you would like support. P.S.

15.01.2022 Cooking with Brad Leech

15.01.2022 Lecturing online during COVID has meant Karen listens to all my lectures. Today, the introduction went a little differently.

15.01.2022 Fermented foods, probiotics and prebiotics

15.01.2022 It's HERE! During my own studies, I would often use 'Clinical Naturopathy' as my prefered textbook. Now the next round of nutrition and naturopathic students will use this latest edition where I've contributed to the chapter 'Food allergy/intolerance'. www.bradleech.com/autoimmunediseaseknowledge/

15.01.2022 We need more researchers in the field of Nutritional and Naturopathic Medicine! My own research at Endeavour College of Natural Health laid the foundations to my career as a clinician, lecturer and researcher.

15.01.2022 We are excited to announce the publication of the long-awaited for manuscript "Diet, Digestive Health, and Autoimmunity: The Foundations to an Autoimmune Disease Food PyramidPart 2" with Dr Brad McEwen and Dr Eric Sekyere. This manuscript reviews a selection of popular diets including the Mediterranean, vegetarian/vegan, Paleolithic, gluten-free, and a low arachidonic acid diet for their effect on digestive health and autoimmune disease. The link between dysbiosis, inflammat...ion, and increased intestinal permeability with the development and exacerbation of chronic autoimmune conditions is also discussed in relation to these diets.

11.01.2022 > Our research on intestinal permeability is making headlines < After surveying almost 600 Australians with suspected leaky gut, we have uncovered the physical, emotional and financial consequences of living with leaky gut. We suggest leaky gut may pose a greater health burden than previously thought, with poor subjective wellbeing and health-related quality of life found in people with leaky gut?... We found Australian adults with suspected leaky gut spend over 11 years between first suspecting leaky gut and receiving a formal diagnosis? Can you guess how much patients with leaky gut spend on supplements and consultation fees each year? Read the article to find out. www.bradleech.com

08.01.2022 Lets talk hydration There are two areas I want to discuss; temperature and minerals. The rate of water absorption is governed by many factors including the temperature of the water and its mineral content. Firstly, before our stomach is able to release the water into the small intestine, the water first needs to be at body temperature. Therefore, when drinking cold water, the stomach needs to warm the water up before absorption. The second factor (perhaps the most importan...t) is the mineral content. To effectively absorb water, we require minerals to first open the gates and bring water into the body. Without these minerals, the rate of water absorption is significantly reduced. Here are my suggestions: WARM WATER & LEMON - Start each morning with 500ml of hot water with lime or lemon. Not only will this stimulate digestion and regulate glucose metabolism but drinking hot water will hydrate your body twice as fast. COCONUT WATER - Drink a glass of coconut water after the gym. Coconut water is excellent for hydration as it contains many electrolytes and minerals. I discuss this in more depth here: https://youtu.be/h80mnIdGU-Q BLACK MINERALS - Add 10ml of Black Minerals to 1L of water daily. The minerals and trace elements found naturally in the Austrian alps are comprised of more than 1000 herbs and flowers. These minerals facilitate optimal water absorption while also providing essential trace elements required for optimal health.

Key findings:... - Selenium supplementation of 200ug daily is an effective method for the management of Hashimoto's thyroiditis. - Three months of selenium supplementation is required to decrease thyroid peroxidase antibodies. - A combination of selenium supplementation and levothyroxine may have a synergistic effect.
