25.01.2022 There is so much fear and anxiety about #Coronavirus and that is a perfect breeding ground for misinformation. Can you get Coronavirus through air conditioning? Are gloves (the way most people use them) better than hand washing? Does flu vaccine make you MORE prone to Coronavirus? Can your pet give you Coronavirus? ... Can you go to the little beach house you already booked for Easter? . I just lost a non refundable deposit too. It sucks. So does Coronavirus. It doesn’t need to be spread any further. Stay safe! We’ll get through this together

24.01.2022 In this FREE webinar I’ll be talking about something completely different; entrepreneurship! My journey from mum of young kids and part time to doctor through Federal Politics, media and ultimately the dream...... starting a small business from our lounge room! From a tiny idea to a skincare company I’m so proud of! Hope you can join us!

21.01.2022 I have to share this article. Almost 400 of my hardworking colleagues have been targeted by the Health Insurance Commission. Their crime? Treating their patients for BOTH physical AND medical issues in the same consultation. Who commits this crime? Doctors who care, women doctors, doctors who take more time with their patients, doctors who see their patients as a whole being. But Medicare is cracking down on doctors whose patients need treatment for both heart disease as well... as anxiety or depression on the same day. Many of my colleagues whose pride in their profession stems from their provision of care to the whole person have been sent letters demanding they repay Medicare thousands for over servicing or face a dreaded Medicare audit. They are understandably feeling vulnerable and many are thinking of throwing in the towel. I just think this is outrageous. If you feel passionate about high quality medical care, please let your federal member know. We should be rewarding our best doctors not chasing them out of the profession. Thanks for your support.

21.01.2022 Who’s this I found in the channel 7 Green Room? Just my childhood heartthrob Christopher Knight AKA PETER BRADY!! Because Daniel and I have a blended family of 6 children, #BradyBunch references are always bandied around. Yes... but Daniel says where’s my den? And I say where’s my Alice? The Bradys introduced us to sibling rivalry, the reason we all need 2 bathrooms, blending a family, and the ultimate couple goals! ... I hope Christopher and Cara have a fantastic experience in this beautiful City. Meanwhile for everyone near smoke and fires today, stay safe.

20.01.2022 About to talk all things #skincare at @theshowsydney with these hotties @shellyhorton1 @sallyobermeder #skincaretips #beautytips

20.01.2022 This major study of genes and how they impact on your risk of #melanoma was a bit dry and boring. BUT for those of us with the genes that make us prone to skin cancers, it's the #sunburn you had as a child that matters most. More than 50 serious episodes of sunburn (more than 2 days of pain and or peeling) in early life really seem to activate those genes. My take home messages? Skin cancers are mostly caused by UVB radiation. (Remember it's A for aging and B for burning and... cancers). They're worst in the middle of the day and in summer months. So ideally stay out of the sun between 11 and 3. If you have to stay in the sun all day look for a high SPF and reapply liberally, especially if you sweat. And drink fluids (to avoid dehydration and sunstroke- won't help against skin cancer.) Take this message and quadruple it for your kids. I basically burn in 2 minutes in the sun so luckily for me I have an indoor job. Still I wear broad spectrum sunscreen (this means it covers BOTH UVA and UVB rays) every day to protect my skin. UVA rays are there from sun up to sun down in all weather conditions. My favourite? Of course it's my own #ESKZincShade.

19.01.2022 There is so much confusion about what exactly a plant based diet is. Thought this was a great article to get started. I went out for dinner with friends on Saturday night. The main course options were fish, chicken, lamb, pork and a vegetarian option of cheesy ravioli. Hmmmm. I told the waitress I was hoping to have one of the entrees (a salad) as my main meal as i was looking for a plant based option. "Oh, you've watched Game Changers?" she asked. "Honestly we're going ...to need to change our menu. More and more people are watching it!" So Dean Ornish, one of the experts in this space (and a star in Game Changers) suggests eating "predominantly fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, soy products, nonfat dairy, and egg whites." While "Meat, poultry, fish and any products made from these foods are eliminated" One of the other gurus, Walter Willet advocates a "planetary diet"- Which "is mainly plant-based, but it can include modest amounts of red meat, and modest amounts of fish, poultry, eggs, and dairy products. But those are not viewed as absolutely essential." I realized you can be vegetarian and have an all carb diet. A diet loaded with lots of bread, cereal, pasta and noodles might have no meat but that doesn't make it healthy. Far from it. Eating stacks of veggies requires organization, time and effort. Not easy for time poor men and women. I'm not going to be a zealot and slam you all with TMI. Just thought it was worth clarifying!!

18.01.2022 Despite the fact that a leaky bladder affects up to 40% of women from the age of 35, we women pretend it’s not happening? According to research from @alwaysdiscreetanz, more than six in ten (64%) agree the topic is taboo, 41% of women have never confided in anyone about the issue and to my horror, 88% haven’t discussed it with a GP. Why? Well, with almost 1 in 5 (18%) say it’s because they feel too ashamed or embarrassed. And a Lot think there’s nothing anyone can do....... it’s just a part of getting older. Rubbish! Women with bladder leakage Give up exercise Purposely don’t drink enough Lose sleep as we trot to the toilet all night Panic if the there’s a queue at the bathroom at the shops! There’s a lot of help out there.... You don’t have to give up exercise, that extra cup of tea or a shopping expedition! Your GP can make sure you don’t have a urinary tract infection or constipation making the whole issue worse. Your GP can help you find a pelvic floor Physiotherapist, or urogynaecologist to help out Tell just one close friend or family member you experience bladder leaks Encourage your community to comment if they experience bladder leakage #WeeAlwaysGotYou #alwaysdiscreet #confidence #femaleempowerment #collab #bladderleakage #bladder #womenshealth #incontinenceawareness #pelvicfloor #pelvicfloorexercises #pelvicfloordysfunction #exercisedaily #exerciseroutine #exercisemotivation

18.01.2022 Not every day you get to bring a new product to the market. I get Acne big pores, AND sensitive skin . . So we started researching a 5% salicylic acid overnight mask 5 years ago. And now it’s here!! So proud of team ESK. Passionate, ethical, committed . @eskskincare

17.01.2022 While about 10% of us are chronic bad sleepers, #insomnia affects between 40 and 60% of women during #perimenopause and #menopause! It’s partly those rotten #hotflushes and #nightsweats, but there’s more than that. Menopausal women have lower #melatonin levels (your natural sleep hormone) and higher #cortisol levels (your stress hormone). But have no fear! There’s so much your doctor can do to help! That’s why I wrote #TheMWord. To give women #evidencebased answers to t...his phase of life. You can check out info about combating the various symptoms of menopause by picking up a copy of The M Word from any book store- or listen to it https://www.audible.com.au//The-M-Word-Audiobook/1528890213 #menopauserelief #menopausesupport #hotflushessuck #moodswingssuck #insomnia #womenshealth #moodswings #hotflushes #libidobooster #menopauseweightloss #womenwmpowerment #menopausehelp #makemenopausematter #thepause

17.01.2022 Lots of women are understandably terrified of #breastcancer. Can you prevent it? Not entirely but you can significantly reduce your risk. This is a neat article about why breast cancer rates are on the rise and what you can do to lower your chances of copping it! Thanks Anni-bags for posting this earlier!!

17.01.2022 Going to Bali? Should you be worried about Japanese Encephalitis? Good data on how common it is in Indonesia are a little scant. But it does seem to be increasing. It is transmitted via a mosquito bite from an infected mosquito (you can't catch it from a friend). But just one bite is enough to infect you. If you get it; 99% chance you'll have only mild symptoms- if any. But in 1% of cases it travels to the brain. In that case the odds are grim;... 30% death 50% of survivors have permanent brain damage. And there's no treatment. Preventing it comes in 2 parts; 1. Avoid mosquitoes. GOOD insect repellent and cover up especially dawn and dusk when mozzies are hungriest and more likely to opt for a you-flavoured snack. 2. A vaccine. These days we have a single vaccine. At my surgery, we're selling it for $250 (that's $1000 for a family of 4 ) but I have seen it cheaper online from pharmacies. You need to have it at least a week before your trip. We usually recommend the vaccines for people travelling for a month or more or those staying in un-airconditioned accommodation but some argue we should be giving it more often than that. Finally- to the family of Dez Ginns- I have no words. Thinking about you all at this very stressful time.

16.01.2022 Prude alert! I just have to talk about the #Menopausevagina. Yes, I’m going there. Because while we girls can talk about #hotflashes, #insomnia, #moodswings and #itchiness, NOBODY talks about the most neglected part of a woman’s body. Vaginal symptoms like incontinence, dryness, burning and painful sex are experienced by up to 60% of women at #menopause and 80% by the time they hit 65. This can mean not only kissing your sex life goodbye, but see you writing off exer...cise too! Because unlike hot flashes that will usually get better over time, these symptoms are permanent and usually get WORSE over time. And yet only 7% of sufferers get any kind of treatment. WTF? This was one of the issues that propelled me to write #TheMWord.To try to take taboo subjects out of the shadows and shine a light on them. Because information = power. #menopauserelief #menopausesupport #hotflushessuck #moodswingssuck #insomnia #womenshealth #moodswings #hotflushes #libidobooster #menopauseweightloss #womenwmpowerment #menopausehelp #makemenopausematter #thepause

14.01.2022 Do you tend to have damp undies at the end of the day? Worried about doing star jumps because of the risk of losing bladder control? Ever realised you needed to wee and literally a minute later you’ve peed your pants before you made it to the toilet? Does the thought of getting a cold or cough fill you with woe because your bladder just can’t handle it? You’re not alone! New reasearch from @alwaysdiscreetanz has revealed that 1 in 3 women experience some form of urinary ...incontinence! Yet there is so much we can do to get it under control! Little things can make a huge difference; Overweight? Losing just 7-8kgs can reduce leakage by 47% Cutting back fizzy drinks and diet drinks helps! Tend towards constipation? Fixing that can make a massive difference! Pelvic floor exercises (3 sets of 10 for 10 secs each 3 times a day) can cure incontinence in up to 60% of women in a year. Need more info? Visit www.alwaysdiscreet.com.au for tips on how to manage bladder leaks and protection through their liners, pads and underwear OR Call the @auscontinence free national helpline on 1800 33 00 66 See more

14.01.2022 Some studies have found that aches and pains are THE most common symptom of #menopause. Especially women of Asian background. No! You’re not imagining it! I am often amazed that in the process of helping women fix their #hotflushes and #nightsweats, we sort out their back pain as well! Women are no longer prepared sit back and put up with #menopausecrap. That’s why I wrote #TheMWord. To give women evidence based answers to this phase of life I’ll be chatting about all... the symptoms of menopause and how you can get on top of them at Avid Reader in Brisbane on 31 January. https://avidreader.com.au/even/dr-ginni-mansberg-the-m-word I hope you’ll come along, connect and chat!

09.01.2022 BEST PRESENT EVER. When your son’s buddy arrives from Hong Kong bearing precious TOILET PAPER!! Thanks @edwardengelhands #coronavirusbegone #zombieapocalypseready

09.01.2022 We have headed down to the border of NSW and Victoria for some much needed blue sky and fresh air in beautiful #Albury and the majestic #murrayriver. And also to meet up with @riverinaskin - the unbelievably knowledgeable dermatologist Dr Irene Grigoris as well as the entire gun team of skin aestheticians. We were ostensibly getting together to collaborate around tough to treat skin conditions like #rosacea, #pigmentation and #sensitiveskin and the role @e...skskincare plays. But luckily we had time to walk along the banks of the Murray, for some much needed catch up time. Not sure about you but we find we can go weeks and have hardly had time to chat. When we do grab some time together it tends to be all about the kids or the business and our phones keep disrupting the conversation. This weekend over long drives and long walks we have SLOWED down and really caught up. Any tips? How do couples really connect in our usual frenetic lives? #eskskincare #coupletime #alburywodonga #rivermurray #murrayriverwalk #skincare #walkntalk #echidna #ibis #pelican #nswtourism #beautifulskin #skincareproducts #vitaminA #soulconnection #naturelover #blueskies @ Albury, New South Wales, Australia

02.01.2022 21 years between photos. But it feels like no time has passed. These 3 have been best mates since 6 years of age. Then mischievous soccer fanatics. Now impressive, warm, intelligent men and today the band that has never been apart online finally got back together in person. @smansberg has just come home from New York for a visit, and @wildlifenurserob has returned from Central Africa. In all the #covid19 madness, #friendship is real.
