25.01.2022 Stay tuned to get your happy back for Spinal Health Week 2015. More details to come! #happyback

24.01.2022 Last week on Four Corners was The Autism Enigma which questions why Austism spectrum disorder is the fastest rising developmental disorder in the Western world. Over 45 minutes it explores the relationship between the gut and the brain and questions the impact of antibiotics and diet on our childrens health. Very interesting. Free viewing on ABC iView expires in 7 days.

24.01.2022 We have all heard about Vitamin D deficiency, but what is it, why is it important to know about it, and how can we prevent it? Recent studies have shown that there are a lot more Vitamin D deficient people than previously thought, with up to 58% of the Australian population being Vitamin D deficient. Vitamin D deficiency may not result in any obvious symptoms but, without treatment, it can have significant health effects and increase a persons risk of musculoskeletal conditi...ons such as: - Bone and muscle pain - Rickets (soft, weakened bones) in children - Osteopenia (weak, fragile bones also known as osteomalacia or osteoporosis) in older adults Low vitamin D has also been linked to multiple sclerosis, diabetes (type1 and type 2), various types of cancers (particularly colon cancer), heart disease, mental health conditions, including schizophrenia, worse outcomes in stroke, altered immunity and other autoimmune diseases, although more research is needed to see whether increasing vitamin D levels could help prevent any of these conditions. While spending time in the sun or taking a supplement might sound like an easy answer, please consider that Vitamin D deficiency may be due to decreased levels of cholesterol (the precursor to vitamin D), lack of sleep (which is needed for the biochemical production of vitamin D), immune system weakness or gastrointestinal issues (leading to you body requiring greater need for vitamin D). To prevent Vitamin D deficiency, maintain a healthy diet including fish, eggs and mushrooms (sources of Vitamin D); ensure you get adequate sleep; ensure you regularly spend some time in the sunlight (try to avoid 11-3pm in the hotter months and use your common sense as skin cancer is a major health concern in Australia too!); and regularly exercise which also helps in Vitamin D production. If you have any concerns please talk to your health practitioner :)

22.01.2022 We would all love to be able to rely on a healthy diet to receive all of our important vitamins and minerals, but in reality this is virtually impossible. For this reason nutritional supplements may be necessary to achieve optimal health. We need these additional nutrients because our soils, our farming techniques, our food processing and our food distribution system result in nutrient depleted foods. Even with the perfect diet, the combination of our depleted soils, the sto...rage and transportation of our foods around the world, the genetic alterations of traditional heirloom species, and the increased stress and nutritional demand resulting from a toxic environment make it almost impossible for us to get the vitamins and minerals we need just from the foods we eat. The evidence shows that we cant get away from the need for nutritional supplements. -Dr Mark Hyman.

21.01.2022 Now that our little ones are back at school please take some time to make sure they are carrying their school bags correctly.

19.01.2022 Trouble sleeping? Here are a few tips! Dont forget that a supportive mattress and pillow are absolutely essential to healthy sleep. Keep in mind that mattresses should be replaced at least every 10 years, and pillows at least every 2 years to ensure maximum support and cleanliness.

04.01.2022 After 15 years and a lot of research, Nutrition Australia has finally released a new Healthy Eating Pyramid. Certain types of fats, sugars and "junk" foods have been eliminated from the pyramid. Processed carbs such as breads and cereals have also moved into a more moderate category with fresh vegetables taking on the lead. What are your thoughts?... http://www.smh.com.au//australia-has-a-new-food-pyramid-20

03.01.2022 Most of you know that approximately 80% of our immune system is found in the gut. But did you know that research shows there are AS MANY neurons (nerve cells) in the gut as there are in the spinal cord? How about that 95% of our bodys feel good hormone (serotonin) is made in the bowel? Gut health is more important to our overall health than we have ever realised and some of the new research coming out is very exciting!
