25.01.2022 HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO FALL PREGNANT? Trying for a baby is a hugely emotional journey; one that's ridden with hope, anxiety, excitement, fear and wondering if you're doing it 'right', all at once. Conception is not just as simple as having sex for some couples. According to the British Medical Journal "One in six couples will experience an unwanted delay in conception. Roughly half of these couples will conceive either spontaneously or with relatively simple advice or t...reatment." - Approximately 30% of couples will successfully conceive within the first month of trying - 75% of couples will conceive after six months - 90% will conceive after one year - 95% after two years If you're wanting to support egg or sperm quality, ensure your body is well-nourished prior to conception, discuss your fertility, or assistive conception options, please reach out to us on 029555 8806 / [email protected] Our naturopaths Amanda, Carmen and Claire offer a free 15 minute fertility chat to help you decide if you would like to work with us, and explain to you how we can help https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC188498/

24.01.2022 CAFFEINE IN PREGNANCY Now we know that this topic is one of great contention, especially for the coffee lovers, but recent evidence might make you re-think your oat milk latte. According to a recent investigation by the British Medical Journal, caffeine should be avoided. "Current evidence does NOT support health advice that assumes 'moderate' caffeine consumption during pregnancy is safe." https://ebm.bmj.com/content/early//09/01/bmjebm-2020-111432

19.01.2022 HOW TO GET ENOUGH IRON? Iron deficiency is a common presentation we see here in clinic. It affects women mostly, especially once menstruation has begun. Blood loss means there is a higher demand for iron intake. Our bodies require iron for a healthy blood and oxygen supply, for healthy muscle tissue, and metabolism. Iron deficiency is not fun. Symptoms include; fatigue, breathlessness, pale skin, cold extremities, headaches, poor appetite, strange in-edible cravings and ...brittle nails. FOOD Think red meat, liver, legumes and pulses, tofu, dark leafy greens, nuts and seeds (especially sesame and pistachios), whole grains like quinoa, amaranth and buckwheat are all great sources of iron which luckily lend themselves well to a variety of meals! TYPES OF IRON Remember that animal-based sources of iron contain hemoglobin; the pigment which makes our blood red, and is more easily absorbed by the body. Plant-based sources do not include hemoglobin and are harder to absorb, requiring larger amounts of consumption to meet our levels. ABSORPTION Can be reduced by caffeine, so be sure to consume iron-rich foods away from tea, coffee, soft drinks/ energy drinks, and cocoa products if you are deficient. Tannins found in wine and tea also reduce absorption, so a glass of wine with bolognese might not be the best option if you're trying to optimise your iron levels! Additionally, oxalates and phytates found in whole grains, legumes and pulses, and some leafy greens and cruciferous vegetables can inhibit iron absorption too - try to always soak grains, legumes and pulses before cooking, and enjoy lightly cooked greens over raw. VITAMIN C Increases iron absorption! A glass of warm water with lemon juice alongside an iron-rich meal, a citrus and olive oil dressing, handful of berries, or fresh parsley with your meal are great ways to ensure you maximise iron intake from food.

17.01.2022 RELAXATION Relaxation, self-care, wellness, whatever you want to call it, is important. That being said, it doesn't need to look like fancy yoga classes, buying the latest adaptogen, or snail slime face cream. Long slow walks, a bubble bath, a cup of tea in a quiet space, a stretch before bed, baking a cake; these are all great, free or relatively inexpensive ways to access relaxation.

07.01.2022 LOST THAT SPRING IN YOUR STEP? Despite the fact we're now well into Spring, a recurrent theme in clinic is low energy. Be it the effects of COVID-19, the impending election, the recent full moon, or this rainy weather, below are some helpful tips to re-energise and support your body: ... GET PHYSICAL Exercise is a sure-fire way improve circulation, re-oxygenate the bood and provides a boost of energy to the brain. Bonus points if you exercise in daylight, especially during the morning, and in nature. Leaving exercise until the evening can negatively affect your body's stress hormones, so aim for before 7pm. EAT BRAIN FOOD There are so many wonderful foods that nourish the brain specifically to increase energy and focus. B-vitamin containing foods especially promote energy, think lentils, nuts, seeds, oily fish, whole grains, eggs, dairy products, dark leafy greens should make up the basis of your plate at meal times. Additionally a focus on healthy fats is key! We love a good piece of gluten free toast with avocado, salmon, sauteed greens and fresh herbs! SOUND SLEEP Ensure you carve out a technology-free period at least 30 minutes before sleeping each and every night. Dimming lights and lighting candles instead is a lovely ritual and helps to get our bodies into sleep mode. We also highly recommend a calming chamomile or lavender tea too. As always, get in touch with our wonderful team if you need further support and we'd be happy to recommend supplements and additional lifestyle changes to improve your health
