24.01.2022 I just wanted to let you all know that I have made the discussion that my CONSULTS will now be via PHONE or FACETIME. This is because I want to minimise risk to our clients in the clinic, our families and our community! I thought it would help minimise the amount that people need to be out and about too. As much as I enjoy seeing my patients in clinic, this decision just feels right considering all that is going on. This will not effect the consult I provide, it just means it... won’t be face to face and all supplements and herbs will be posted to each patient if required. I hope that you can all understand why I have made this decision and I look forward to speaking to you still! I am here to support you with what ever I can from a naturopathic point of view. Wether that is immune support for you and your family, or assistance with anxiety and stress during this challenging time, I am here! Of course I am also here to help any of you with any on going health issues too! I hope that in light of what may be happening financially and health wise, that we can still support each other in our communities wherever that may be. Please contact me if you have any questions at all. #natutopath #COVID-19 #coronavirus #nutrition #patientsafety #communitysafety #phoneconsult #health #wellbeing #immunesupport See more

23.01.2022 For anyone who need some immune support for them or their family, please let me know! I have ordered some stock today. It will be first in first served at the moment. Pm me for any questions or stock enquires and I will get back to you ASAP. I will post some immune boosting tips this week too to try and help you all through these unsure times. #immunesupport #naturopath #nutrition #health #wellbeing

21.01.2022 Zinc || I always first recommend to try and get what we need as far as nutrients etc via our diet where we can. However sometimes we may need to take a supplement. So should you take a zinc Supplement? That depends. A survey conducted in The United States of America found that only 55.6% of people’s zinc consumption met the recommended standards. Zinc is important in growth and development, in the function and production of immune cells etc. Signs and symptoms of zinc de...ficiency are: - Growth and development that is slowed. - Dermatitis - Alopecia - Immune system deficiencies - Wounds that don’t heal as quickly as normal due to a reduction in collagen production - Night blindness - Depression and or mental fatigue - Erectile dysfunction - And more .... If you have any of the these signs and symptoms then do you go straight and out and buy a zinc supplement.... No, but should you get your zinc levels checked and see a health care professional to investigate further? Yes, I think you should. Foods sources of zinc are: Meat, liver, eggs, seafood, miso, mushrooms, green beans etc. ( Braun and Cohen, 2015 ) #Naturopath #nutrition #zinc #supplement #immunesystem #growthanddevelopment #seafood #meat #Dermatitis Reference: Braun.

18.01.2022 This image gives some good tips for dealing with anxiety but I also wanted to add to this.... Other things that may help with anxiety are: - Herbs like Passionflower or Withania. ( Check with your health care practitioner which herbs are good for anxiety though and make sure they are okay to take along side any medication you may be taking and get the disease checked.) - Certain nutrients ... - Meditation - Exercise like yoga, Pilates or a walk etc. If you get anxiety and it is affecting your life then ask for help! #Naturopath #Nutriton #Anxiety #Stress #Askforhelp #Herbs #Withania #Passionflower #Meditation #Yoga #Exercise #MountMartha #Morningtonpeninsula #Melbourne #Australia #Onlineconsultations

15.01.2022 For anyone that is feeling uneasy, anxious or is vulnerable at this time... I am more than happy to do a phone, FaceTime or Skype consult for any of you! I would rather you get your consult, supplements, and / or herbs via online and post, than not at all! #naturopath #mountmartha #morningtonpeninsula #online #phoneconsult

15.01.2022 You know the saying You are what you eat...... Well, I feel it should say You are what you absorb! I have heard similar sayings to this before and it makes sense. You can eat lots of healthy food, however you may not be absorbing it.... You know those people that eat lots of iron rich foods and are still low in iron..... ! This is what I am talking about.... It is called malabsorption syndrome. This is where our intestines are not absorbing the nutrients from the food we... eat at levels that are needed for the body to function optimally. Causes of malabsorption may be: - Damage to the intestines through inflammation, surgery or infection etc. - Long term use of antibiotics. - Diseases such as Crohn’s disease, coeliac disease, pancreatitis ( chronic ) etc. - Food intolerances. Eg lactose - Disease of the liver, gall bladder or pancreas. - Parasites - Drugs that may damage the lining of the intestinal tract. Eg tetracycline. - Low digestive enzymes - Short bowel syndrome - And possibly more..... So does your low iron mean you have one of these issues? No, it may just be that you aren’t eating the most nutritious foods or other reasons.... However, do I feel that you should investigate WHY you are feeling the way you are, and WHAT is causing it..... ABSOLUTELY. Once we know the cause, we can make a plan to try and rectify the issues. Symptoms that you may not be absorbing your food properly may be: - IBS symptoms such as bloating, constipation, diahorrhea, gas, pain and or discomfort in the abdomen. - light coloured stools - Stools that float - Dry hair - Edema ( fluid retention ) - Anaemia - Weight loss - Muscle wasting - Fatigue - And more...... So how do we work out what’s going on? - questionnaires - Blood tests - Stool tests - Breath tests - And more..... If you are reading this and you have severe pain, blood in you’re stool or any other concerns, then please contact a doctor immediately. If you have any more questions on the topic of Malabsorption, then please let me know. #Naturopath #nutrition #Malabsorption #IBS #anaemia #crohnsdisease #ulcerativecollitus #antibiotics #mic

04.01.2022 Enjoy the little things.... For me this may be a cup of tea with some sun shining through the window, or watching some birds outside, or a conversation with a friend, or my children’s smiles and funny things they say.... Life doesn’t always have to be about our big goals ( although I do love to have goals and dreams too) but sometimes it’s nice to focus on the little things and have gratitude for what we have and what is happening right now. What are your little things that make you smile or that you are grateful for? #gratitude #grateful #naturopath #nutrition #naturalmedicine #lifecoaching #mindfulness #meditation #smile #itsthelittlethings #myboys #myfamily #friends #tea #sunshine
