23.01.2022 PROSPER (verb.) Flourish physically; grow strong and healthy, to become strong and flourishing, to cause to succeed or thrive. More info coming soon... but for now what’s one thing you can do today to prosper? I started the day with a fun yet peaceful beach walk with my little family and another super positive and inspired family we love! Great chats.

23.01.2022 Women’s Health Week - I hope you loved following along! Healthy eating will help you maintain a proper weight for your height, which is important because being overweight can lead to a number of illnesses. These illnesses are some of the highest killers in our country, things like heart disease, cancer and type 2 diabetes. It starts one day at a time, start with your snacks or visit Peninsula Herbal Dispensary and visit website, from here you can download our healthy foods r...ecipe book ‘From Our Kitchen’s’. In the mean time why not try some raw vegetables, such as celery, carrots, broccoli, cucumbers, or zucchini with dip. Visit www.peninsulaherbaldispensary.com.au

23.01.2022 The answer we are hearing from many of our patients is ‘No’ & we are here for them. We can be here for you too. Providing healthCARE for our wider community is at our core here at The Dispensary. So we ask all of you RUOK? If you are struggling please let us know, send me a message or give us a call at The Dispensary and we will be in touch.... Review the slide on how you can help too. If you are reading this from outside Victoria, it might just be the perfect day to give your Vic Mates a call. #ruokday #healthCARE #weCARE https://www.peninsulaherbaldispensary.com.au/contact/

22.01.2022 What James Said Since March, maybe earlier, I have been prohibited from discussing C V with you and as the science catches up I have been itching to share with you the articles I see . So you can make informed choices. Let’s start here with Vit D and @mrjamesmaskell can tell you why! ... I will continue posting tidbits I see in the published research for those that wish to follow along. I will pop the link to this research paper in the comments shortly.

21.01.2022 Merry Christmas to you & your loved ones. Miss Wrenn is here making up a super special herbal blend for our families reindeer food. Schisandra berries & Astragalus root for a boost of energy, as clinically trialled in race horses. Plus some rose petals for a sweet scent, added to oats and fresh carrot tops. ... We hope this helps the reindeer speed to you and your loved ones, spreading happiness and festive cheer. May your day be fabulous and full of love. Carla

20.01.2022 My new cookbook ‘Steps to Wellbeing’. Created to inspire you with easy steps to promote lasting dietary changes you will love. ‘Steps to Wellbeing’ includes 55 pages of Meals & Snacks. Layed out so you can have a full week of recipes and snacks with a shopping list that makes it easy to get started.... This is the food I prescribe for lasting wellbeing. Ask for a copy during your next consultation.

20.01.2022 WHAT JAMES SAID. More fascinating research coming out and this summary paper mentioned by @mrjamesmaskell highlights the need for all of us to have better health everyday, as we know the sicker you are the worse C V might be, managed/resolved systemic inflammation and gut health (through endothelial tight junction function) all have a part to play in what we in naturopathic and functional medicine call ‘better health’.

17.01.2022 Save this post for when you next need a reminder. Simple steps.... big outcomes.

17.01.2022 My Taking Time Tips 6 - Rituals of Celebration. Right now amongst all the groundhog days of chaos that are our weeks we have little family rituals that help us celebrate the wins... getting to FriYAY in a house with 3 businesses to run, my beautiful patients, 2 homeschool kids and all the blah feelings means Friday is the perfect day to celebrate getting through it all! Our ritual is The Winey Cow being delivered for a luxe Friday lunch. The Winey Cow are a local family we l...ove and their food ticks all our boxes! These are some of my favourite orders. Number 1 the Vegan Brekkie Bowl is by far the favourite, it is a of nutrition. Number 2 is a delicious Granola Bowl and number 3 is Miss 12’s favourite Eggs Norwegian. Give them a go, maybe they can be your ritual of celebration too. Breakfast, Brunch, Lunch, Dinner... anytime!!! PS they do alcohol too and we know that’s always a great way to celebrate a FriYAY! Right now it’s the little things! If they are packed with nutrition that’s even better! #takingtime #celebrations #rituals #friyay #rainbowfood #vegan #nutrition #locallove #supportlocal #wineycowmornington

16.01.2022 What Yamuna Said Yamuna Manoharan et al. wrote this letter to the Editor published in Indian Journal of Clinical Biochemistry in June 2020. While I agree further research is needed, the preventative and therapeutic action of supplemental Turmeric (Curcumin) is very actionable and low risk. ... Over to Yamuna Manoharan et al. ‘In line with the growing evidences of therapeutic properties of the curcumin, here we propose a hypothetical treatment strategy of using curcumin as (1) potential inhibitory agent blocking the host viral interaction (viral spike proteinACE2 receptor) at an entry site in humans and (2) as an attenuator via modulating the proinflammatory effects of Angiotensin II-AT1 receptor-signalling pathways reducing respiratory distress in the treatment of COVID19. Nutritional supplements of curcumin with vitamin C and zinc have showed promising results in boosting the natural immunity and protective defense against the CoV infections have been noted in many hospitalized patients in Indian setting. It is also noted that pharmacological formulation of curcumin in nanoemulsion system proved increased solubility and bioavailability and with enhanced antihypertensive effect [9]. Henceforth, it is clear that the biological properties including advance mode of drug delivery system of curcumin could be considered while formulating the pharmaceutical products and its application as preventive measure in the inhibition of transmission of SARS-COV2 infection among humans. However, further large scale clinical trials are warranted to understand the usefulness of curcumin for the pharmacological application in nanoemulsion system. In conclusion, we propose that curcumin could be used as a supportive therapy in the treatment of COVID19 disease in any clinical settings to circumvent the lethal effects of SARS-CoV-2.’ Read the full Editor’s Letter here: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7299138/ Thank you to the patient who sent me this research to share, if you have a journal article you would like me to share please PM.

15.01.2022 Women’s Health Week What is Women’s Health Week? The two biggest barriers for women not maintaining a healthy lifestyle is ‘lack of time’ and ‘not making themselves a priority’.... Women’s Health Week is the time to do something for your health and start making positive changes that can last a lifetime. Maybe you have been inspired by my ‘Taking Time’ posts? Or you have a ritual of self care you can share below. This week, we will be considering a series of tips that every woman can make use of, no matter how busy! #womenshealthweek2020 #weCARE #healthCARE #naturopathicmedicine

15.01.2022 Thank you so much to Jo & Rachel. I see the way your work changes my oncology patients lives, here and around Australia. Thank you.

13.01.2022 Eating leftovers... make a Buddha Bowl, add fresh herbs, nut, seeds & all your leftovers for a fresh nutrient packed meal. I think anything in a bowl tastes better... keep an eye out for something I created for the NY with this in mind!

13.01.2022 Something I am finding more and more in practice. Got hormonal symptoms? Don’t forget histamine!

12.01.2022 Women’s Health Week Did you know that about 60% of your body is made up of water? Water helps increase your energy, promote weight loss, flush out toxins, improve the quality of your skin, improve digestion, relieve joint pain and even help relieve headaches!... Make a goal to drink at LEAST 1.5L of water each day - add extra water for days you exercise or spend outdoors! Switch it up and flavour your water with fresh sliced cucumber, strawberries, mint leaves or lime slices. #womenshealthweek2020 #hydration #foodasmedicine #youarewhatyoueat #infusedwater

12.01.2022 Women’s Health Week THIS IS MY PASSION, working with these women. A staggering 1 in 2 Australian females have a chronic disease. It was reported in 2014 that 52% of females selected as having one or MORE chronic disease such as arthritis, diabetes, back problems etc. ... The same report showed the increase of these diseases really started to take effect as women entered their 20’s and only rose higher as they got to their 30’s and beyond. A sign of the times and how much we expect from our bodies perhaps?! So how do we stay well or get well again? That’s my job! #womenshealthweek2020 #chronicdisease #mypassion

09.01.2022 Fatigue, I find it’s always an issue with patients in this time of the year. However the causes vary greatly and maybe things you have never thought of... improving your energy comes from treating the cause. Why do you think you are feeling fatigued?

09.01.2022 What Grayson Said Released in late July 2020 Grayson Jaggers et al. published this great article in Science Direct Journal. Supporting you to really think about the impact of what you eat on your current health especially if you have already developed diseases known to increase your risk of C V infection. The article examines how you can mitigate these existing risks now with complementary medicine supplementation, as well as what Grayson Jaggers et al. suggest you could ...Continue reading

07.01.2022 After months & months of missing seeing you in person I will be taking my ugg boots off & heading back into clinic on Wednesdays from November 18th. Telehealth will continue for all other days. In person consults are best for those with health complaints or testing requirements that are best assessed in clinic.... By ensuring some consults still occur on Telehealth we can comply with our directive to perform Telehealth & work from home where possible. If you do require an in person consult you will need to call the clinic directly to organise this. All other consults can still be booked via the website.
