25.01.2022 The overuse of benzodiazepines was highlighted last night on the ABC '7.30 Report'. These drugs are used for anxiety and sleeplessness. If you are suffering from either of these conditions and are looking for alternative treatment, consider a visit to our clinic to consult with one of our qualified naturopaths. Typically you will be prescribed an individually-tailored treatment plan which will include, diet, evidence-based nutritional and herbal supplementation and lifestyle modifications. A holistic approach addresses the long-term drivers of these conditions resulting in improving quality of life and long-term dependency.

24.01.2022 FULL FAT DAIRY PRODUCTS FOR THE WIN! The Heart Foundation have just released a position statement on meat, dairy and egg consumption. Previous recommendations that included the use of low-fat dairy products have now been removed. Instead full fat milk, cheese and yoghurt are now encouraged, unless someone has high cholesterol and/or existing heart disease. There is also no limit on egg consumption, suggesting for people with T2DM and/or high cholesterol may limit to 7 p/wk. To read more go to: https://www.smh.com.au//more-cheese-less-meat-the-new-eati

23.01.2022 This recent news report detailed the results of an Austrian study including 8 million people. Findings showed that Proton Pump Inhibitors (PPI's) led to a 50% increased risk of taking anti-allergic medications in the future. This is due to a reduction in stomach acid, which causes a decreased capacity to break down food leading to leaky gut, then allergies. While PPI's are required in some circumstances, there are many dietary and lifestyle strategies to assist in the management of reflux... can we help you?

20.01.2022 Recently the Sydney Morning Herald posted an article on endometriosis. Endometriosis or most commonly known as endo is caused when the tissue that lines the uterus grows in other parts of the body i.e. outside of the uterus, the lining of the abdomen and the ovaries. While the most common symptoms include pain, heavy bleeding, and can even lead to infertility. Currently one in nine women between the ages of 40 to 44 have endometriosis. However, patients are often asymptom...atic in the early stages and diagnosis is often delayed. At present, there is no cure and it can be treated with medications and surgery. The good news, there are many treatment strategies that are available with alternative medicine. A naturopath can assist in promoting healthy oestrogen metabolism and clearance, addressing symptoms and the underlying drivers of endometriosis for ongoing symptom management. If you or anyone you know has endometriosis and would like to book in to see one of our naturopaths, please contact the clinic on 9531 5187 or book online at www.toogoodhealth.com.au To read more about this article visit - https://www.smh.com.au//super-overwhelming-what-is-endomet Photo Credit: Readers Digest

15.01.2022 THE GLOVES ARE OFF! If you dont enjoy political posts then this is not for you.....but as QUALIFIED natural health practitioners, WE HAVE HAD ENOUGH! We believe over the past several months there has been a deliberate, targeted attack towards our industry endeavouring to malign our professionalism and efficacy. Whether it be sweeping statements made on current affairs programs or the evening news regarding natural therapies and supplements (without a right of reply), or the... removal of naturopathy and herbal medicine from private health insurance rebates; it appears the intention is to run us out of practice . Are we ready for our health choices to be narrowed to what is just in your GPs toolbox, that is pharmaceuticals? Sometimes pharmaceuticals are the only choice. However why is there a push to discredit an industry which is self-funded and primarily supported by individuals who want to be proactive about their health and prefer to use preventative medicine at their own cost, rather than burden the already inundated public health care system? Our rebuttal to all this negative press is that we have studied for 4 years to gain a degree in natural medicine and we practice evidence-based health care. Sure, there are charlatans within the wellness industry, just as there are charlatans in the mainstream medical profession. You will never stop opportunism and fraudulent activity. The best ways to protect yourself from any dangers posed by the natural medicine industry are: 1) Dont believe everything you read on google or social media and self-prescribe; and 2) Seek the help of a QUALIFIED natural health practitioner and have them source the best quality supplement for you and check if it is suited for you or may interact with other medicines you are taking. Also this practitioner will assess whether you actually need it in the first place and track your progress and improvements. 3) Seek out a GP who supports your preventative health care measures as a true integrative approach between natural and medical health will provide the best health outcomes. We do not practice sickness medicine like our medical counterparts who are trained in pharmaceutical outcomes but rather specialise in wellness medicine which uses long-term diet and lifestyle modifications to prevent chronic disease.

06.01.2022 RECIPE: WILD GREENS GALETTE The perfect recipe to warm you from the inside out this chilly winter weekend.Thank you to the organic gardener for this delicious recipe. If you are finding it difficult to source a sourdough culture starter, replace it with the same volume of flour. Your mixture will need more water. We hope everyone has a restful weekend. Ingredients... SOURDOUGH PIE CRUST 300 g (1012 oz/2 cups) spelt flour 150 g (512 oz/12 cup) sourdough starter 12 teaspoon salt 4 tablespoons olive oil 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar Splash of water FILLING 4 garlic cloves, crushed 100g (1 cup) wild greens, blanched and chopped 100g potato, cubed and parboiled 200g feta cheese (other hard cheeses work well too), chopped Drizzle of olive oil Salt and pepper, to taste Pinch of ground nutmeg Grated parmesan cheese, to sprinkle (optional) To make the pie crust, combine the flour, sourdough starter, salt, olive oil and vinegar in a large bowl. Mix well with your hands until you have a firm dough. If its too wet, add a little more flour. If its too dry, add another splash of water. Tip the dough out onto a floured board and form it into a fat disc. Wrap it in a large beeswax wrap or waxed paper and leave it in a cool place for at least 2 hours or overnight. Once the dough is rested, turn it out onto a floured board again and give the centre a few whacks with the side of a rolling pin to loosen up the dough. Roll the dough into a 30cm circle, rotating the board as you go to make this easier. Carefully transfer the dough to a well-greased baking tray and preheat the oven to 200C (400F). Combine all of the filling ingredients in a bowl and mix well. Taste for seasoning and adjust if needed. Carefully spoon the filling into the middle of the pastry and spread it out to the edge, leaving a 5cm border. Fold in the side of the pastry over the top of the filling, bit by bit. Top with the grated parmesan, if using. Bake for 3040 minutes until the crust is brown and the filling is bubbling. Drizzle with olive oil and serve with a fresh salad and good friends.

03.01.2022 Since the 1940s, antibiotics have saved millions of lives. However, the persistent overuse and misuse of antibiotics have encouraged the emergence and spread of antibiotic resistance, which occurs when bacteria, become resistant to the drugs used to treat them. Below is a link that outlines the naturopathic approach to antimicrobial resistance and the research supporting these approaches. One of these approaches include avoiding meat with antibiotics. Over 70% of human's exposure to antibiotics comes from healthy animals that have given antibiotics to address unsanitary conditions, stress and crowding situations.
