14.01.2022 For those interested, these are a few things that I that I am doing for myself and my boys through this current climate:- We are avoiding added sugars, white flours, and pastas. A highglycemic index diet dumps a lot of glucose (sugar) into your bloodstream, which decreases your immune cells effectiveness at protecting you from illness. We are focussing on vegetables, meat and broths and getting rid of sweet desserts. ... Trying to get plenty of sleep 7 to 9 hours. Sleep is vital to keeping immune cells ready to fight viral infections. Sleep deprivation suppresses your immune systems innate ability to act as the first line of defense. Washing our hands with soap and water. I have made a natural hand sanitiser with lemon, onguard and peppermint for myself and my boys. Taking cod-liver oil with Vit D, magnesium and zinc. Low Vit D increases your risk of infection. Getting out into nature, fresh air and play!! Let me know if you require any help regarding the above, happy to help and suggest recommendations. Kristy x

13.01.2022 Theres no doubt about it. Women are much more challenged when it comes to their health issues than men. For instance, women are four times more likely to have ...migraines, anxiety issues, Irritable Bowel Disease and Fibromyalgia than men. https://changinghabits.com.au/how-hemp-is-transforming-wom/
13.01.2022 Here is an article on Endometriosis written by Dr Emma Berry one of our Osteopaths. Endometriosis is a complex and multifactorial disease that affects 1 in 10 ...Australian women. It occurs when tissue similar to that found in the uterus grows in other areas of the body, often involving multiple organs such as the bowel, bladder, ovaries, appendix and, in some cases, the lungs or diaphragm. The exact cause is unknown but current research supports the view that endometriosis is an inflammatory condition with potential immune system dysregulation. It was previously viewed solely as a hormonal disease and the only treatment that was often prescribed was surgery and hormonal therapy. There is still such a lack of awareness, knowledge, funding, research and support around endometriosis. There are also many misconceptions about this disease: Endometriosis affects the whole body, it is not just a reproductive disease. The average diagnosis time is 8-10 years from onset of symptoms and there is currently no cure. Endometriosis can only be diagnosed via laparoscopic surgery and is often dismissed for years as just painful periods, misdiagnosed or left undiagnosed. Endometriosis is listed as one of the top 20 most painful medical conditions Common symptoms include: Abdominal pain Low back & pelvic pain Nerve pain Leg & hip pain Severe bloating Nausea & vomiting Brain fog Depression and anxiety Chronic fatigue Memory problems Insomnia Headaches & migraines Dizziness & fainting Painful & heavy periods Immune system dysfunction Chronic pain Fibromyalgia Vulvodynia Pain with sexual intercourse Pain with bowel movements & urination Diarrhoea & constipation IBS & other digestive complaints (reflux, heartburn, loss of appetite) Food intolerances Infertility Women with endometriosis often experience severe pain and many of the above symptoms on a daily basis - not just while menstruating. There is no cure for endometriosis yet but having a diagnosis can help in symptom management. How can osteopathy help? With a complex condition like endometriosis, it is vital to take a holistic and multifactorial approach to this disease. It is important to find a yourself a team of supportive and skilled medical practitioners that are going to support your individual needs. As osteopaths we consider the whole body - how all of the systems interrelate and function together. When treating a woman with endometriosis, we will consider how the musculoskeletal, reproductive, gastrointestinal, respiratory and nervous systems all interact as a holistic unit. Endometrial lesions often cause adhesions and scar tissue within the within the pelvic and abdominal cavity, and in some cases the thoracic cage. These adhesions influence how the organs, fascia, nerves, connective tissue and joints are able to move and function. Osteopathy has been shown to reduce chronic pelvic pain by decreasing pelvic floor tension, improving breathing mechanics, influencing the ligaments that support your organs and improving mobility of the hips, low back, pelvis and rib cage. Improved function of the musculoskeletal system and nervous system improves pain levels, increases blood flow, decreases inflammation and aids in tissue healing. Osteopaths can also prescribe self-management strategies, home strength and mobility exercises, breathing techniques, tools to support sleep, stress management and ergonomic advice. It is important to find a GP who has in interest in womens health or chronic pain and a good gynaecologist who specialises in endometriosis and has experience with excision surgery. Consider addressing lifestyle factors like diet, exercise, sleep patterns and stress management. An osteopath, pelvic floor physiotherapist, acupuncturist, psychologist and naturopath/nutritionist are great additions to your support team. I will write another post soon about some great management techniques so keep an eye out
12.01.2022 5 Reasons To Start your Day with Lemon Water Sometimes simplicity is the way to go. If youve never started your rise off with a cup of warm lemon water, this b...eyond basic recipe will leave you with more benefits than you can imagine. Digestion: A hot or warm cup of well sourced water with lemon juice is an excellent way to improve digestion, help with elimination and regular bowel movements. After sleeping our bodies can become dehydrated and need fluid to begin the digestive process.. The pectin found in lemons may help reduce high cholesterol and falls into the complex carbohydrate category that are essential for digestion. Removes Toxins: When we are sleeping our livers are very active, allowing our bodies to restore and regenerate. Lemon water first thing in the morning can help flush out the toxins that have built up over night. In Ayurvedic medicine the sour taste from lemon is said to stimulate the angi which is said to activate the digestive system allowing you to digest food more efficiently and stopping the buildup of toxins. Additionally, citric acid found in lemons is involved in chelating out abnormal calcium stones. Hydration: Most people are dehydrated. Starting your day off with lemon water promotes continued drinking for the rest of the day. Did you know that a 2% drop in hydration can impact athletic performance? Imagine what other body systems are impacted by a lesser amount of dehydration. Vitamin C: Lemons, like many citrus fruits, can be a good source of vitamin C which helps with iron absorption, acts as an antioxidant, may improve wrinkles as it is essential in building collagen and strengthens your immune system among many other functions. Alkalizing: maintaining proper pH is essential to a thriving body. The natural citric acid in lemons acts as an alkalizing agent to help decrease acidity in the body.

05.01.2022 Time to try turtle eggs which are an indigenous food that are seasonal. When collected they dont take the whole nest, they leave half. It was an interesting flavour and texture. The egg outer layer was soft and the inside material was gelatinous with a very funky flavour.
05.01.2022 Here is a message from Dr Kirsten Hannan our new Ostoepath. With many more people working from home, here are 5 things you can do when setting up your home off...ice to avoid postural strain leading to back pain, neck pain and headaches. 1.Sit on a firm chair with back support. Avoid sitting on a couch resting your laptop on your lap. This helps your back muscles relax and avoids slouching. 2.Position your computer so that your monitor is directly in front of you within arms length. 3.Rest your forearms on the table and relax your shoulders. 4.Rest your feet on the floor or on a foot stool. 5.Take regular breaks from sitting, every hour if possible, to allow overworked muscles to relax. Sometimes it helps to set a timer to remind you to take a break.
