16.01.2022 Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is one of the most common digestive disorders in our modern world with common symptoms of abdominal pain, discomfort, irregular stool passage and bloating. In my experience it is also an umbrella term you’re grouped under when all pathology testing comes back normal and you’re told that it’s all in your head. So if nothing is actually wrong with you, then why without fail do you get asked if you’re pregnant at least once per week, live with ...your pants cutting into you each afternoon, or constantly need to excuse yourself due to gas or a sudden urge? To learn more about underlying issues please refer to my full blog post at https://Rowenabenbow.com/ibs/ #ibs #sibo #digestivehealth #naturopathy #functionaltesting #bloating #guthealth

12.01.2022 Yoga - meaning the union of our individual consciousness with that of the Devine and one of the best things we can do to balance our body, mind and spirit. If, however, spirituality is not your driver here’s a few more reasons to incorporate this into your daily lives... The impact yoga has on stress is undeniable meaning reduction in stress related conditions such as anxiety, depression, anger, headaches, muscle tension, OCD and sleep problems.... Exploring chronic disease, yoga has shown to improve symptoms of high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity, elevated cholesterol, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and coronary heart disease. One of the best things about it is there is a style and level to suit everyone with classes on YouTube ranging from 10-15 minutes so there’s really no excuse for bettering your health in the warm cosy comfort of your home #yoga #mentalhealth #anxiety #depression #movement #health #naturalmedicine #naturopathcanberra #naturopathicmedicine

02.01.2022 Zinc - the final and one would argue most crucial piece of this A-Z survival guide! Zinc is known as a type II nutrient due to its ESSENTIAL role in human growth and health alongside essential amino acids, magnesium, phosphorous, protein and sulfur. Its role in the body is to aid growth, hormone production - reproductive and blood sugar regulating, gut repair, hair, skin and nail growth and maintenance and most importantly, right now, immune function.... Mild deficiencies can show as constant cold and flus, lack of taste/smell or weak nails. When chronic or severe this can turn into infertility (male and female), dermatitis, alopecia, diarrhoea, erectile dysfunction, night blindness, and impaired wound healing. Not to mention what it is doing to any unborn babies. Zinc is lost daily to stool, urine, skin and semen and constantly needs replacing through diet or supplementation. Animal protein and shellfish are the best sources for quantity and bioavailability. Also found in nuts, seeds, whole grains and legumes though the high phytate content of these foods block its absorption making it less available for utilisation. Sprouting or fermenting these foods increases zincs chances of having an effect. Other things getting in zincs way are coffee, calcium and soy. For this reasons, those at highest risk for deficiency are small children, vegetarians, adolescent females and the elderly. I can’t stress the importance of zinc enough in all walks and stages of life, for oyster lovers this is an invitation to indulge... for everyone else find a source that works for you because we are as useless as an empty oyster shell without this one! #zinc #oysters #shellfish #immunity #naturopathicmedicine #naturopathcanberra #nutrition #health #essentialnutrition
