20.01.2022 Wow! I didn’t realise my last post was in April... whoops I have been practising some self care and a break from social media just felt right for a time The slowing down with work due to covid has allowed me to energise myself and I am feeling physically and mentally fabulous ...

17.01.2022 water This time of year reminds me how important it is to drink water and hydrate our bodies, as we are so busy and also possibly having some extra cheer than we would normally have Water is one of the most important nutrients you consume, after all our bodies are made up of approximately 55-60% of it ... What are SOME of the roles water plays in the body: ** transport nutrients ** hydrate our cells ** helps cushion our bones/joints ** lubricate our joints ** helps remove waste ** regulates body temperature But how much water should we drink? Rule of thumb is your body weight in kg’s divided by 30. For example if you’re 80kg you would need 2.6 litres a day, on average. Now of course this depends on your movement throughout the day, the weather, and also the amount of caffeinated drinks you may consume. For example, if you drank 1 cup of coffee you would need to add in another 1.5 cups of water. Also remember not all water is equal. Where are you getting it from? Town water has loads of chemicals, tank water may be contaminated with bacteria’s, filtered water may take out the natural minerals. So much to think about Personally I use a Zazen water filter which not only filters the bad stuff out but also remineralises my water. I would love to hear what filters you use. Here are some tips to get enough daily water: > fill a jug and put it on the kitchen bench and have a glass every time you walk past > have a water bottle on your desk at work > put lemons, limes, mint, cucumber etc in your water to make it more enticing > set reminders in your phone > download apps to help remind you (yes there are loads of them) I would also love to hear if you have your own tips to get your daily quota of water So enjoy this time of year, but remember that all important nutrient, it’s more important than you think

12.01.2022 Got a little wet on our walk this morning! However beautiful rain that is much needed And Barry certainly didn’t care

10.01.2022 What’s good for the immune system? Bone broth Made and packaged up for the freezer in one cup serves. Ready to have a cup a day

08.01.2022 Stomach Acid Stomach acid is one of the body’s firsts lines of defence against unwanted guests, and it is critical to our digestive system working optimally. The stomach is meant to have a pH of 1.5-3, which is a very high acid content, yet antacid drugs are one of the highest prescribed medications on the pharmaceutical market. In fact they don’t even need to be prescribed you can easily access them over the counter.... Unknowingly people are likely doing damage rather than good, as they are not properly informed of how the body works. Why do we want to lower our stomach acid when our bodies are designed to have it so high and it is so critical to our health? Chris Kresser explains beautifully how important it is and how much damage we are seeing from these drugs. He has written a 5 part series which is well worth a read. In my practice it is one of the first things I work on with clients because of its important to our health. Hopefully you’ll think differently about antacid drugs after reading these articles and look to other reasons as to why you may be getting discomfort

08.01.2022 At the moment we are all trying to keep up to date with COVID-19 and some may say we are a bit obsessed! I have, for the past week, been listening to and reading information in various forms, including podcasts each morning on my walk. This morning on my walk I went to put one on and stopped and thought No! I’m going to take some time out from this crisis and have some me time! So I listened to the birds and some relaxing music instead. ... Please take some time out for yourselves, especially at the moment. Turn off the news, yours phones, radios etc and just be in the moment, your bodies will thank you for it

08.01.2022 I wanted to touch base with you regarding SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19). There is conflicting information about the best way to support your body/immune system to avoid the virus, or at worst get a low dose, so at the moment I’m reluctant to give you information on supplemental recommendations. I will however keep listening and learning and give you information on this should I deem it to be valuable or proven. In the meantime here’s what we do know. About 80% of your immune system ...lives in the small intestine, so looking after gut health is very important. Obviously the healthier you are the better chance you have of not contracting the virus or only having a mild dose of the virus if you contract it. What sort of things can you do... * Eat nutrient dense foods - that means real food (grass fed ethically grown meat, organic fruit and veg where possible, nuts and seeds, herbs and spices), avoid processed foods (the easiest way to do this is make your food from scratch, not from a packet) * Eat a variety of carbohydrates (fruit and veg), animal protein and good healthy fats * Eat the rainbow - have a variety of colour on your plate * Drink plenty of water - our body’s contain around 60% water, lets keep that up * De-stress - this is of upmost importance. Stress can put a lot of pressure on our gut/immune system. Meditate, take a walk in the bush, laugh, create (maybe you’ve been wanting to do something for a long time), speak with friends, sing, listen to music, dance, talk about how you are feeling, don’t bottle it up. * Reports are saying the virus doesn’t like heat so drink hot drinks. Hot water and lemon, herbal teas etc * Keep moving and sweat. * Social connection - go for a walk in the bush/park 2 metres apart with friends or family, play tennis, golf, sit out doors in a park at a distance, talk on the phone, FaceTime... * Consume zinc containing foods- oysters, grass fed red meats, almonds, or good quality zinc supplements * Wash your hands for 20 seconds as much as you can (if you sing happy birthday twice this is about 20 seconds) * Social distancing - one of the most important things you can do - 6 feet or 2 metres away from each other. No kissing or hugging. * Only go out in public places if you need to ie: for food, medical care, work etc We need to do our bit to stop the spread of this virus. We need to respect it and not underestimate its strength. If we don’t our hospitals and medical staff are going to be over run and won’t be able to cope. I will post valuable articles, podcasts etc as they come to hand. Just remember our information is changing daily as the experts get a better understanding of this virus, the best we can do is keep up to date with that information. Again, stay calm, this is not the time to stress, stressing is not going to change ANY situation. Think about your actions and the actions of others. Be kind and look after those that can’t look after themselves

06.01.2022 FOOD SENSITIVITIES I cannot wait to share these babies with you 150 vials of different foods and food chemicals ... Food sensitivities can cause all sorts of symptoms, here are just a few: ** aching muscles/joints ** digestive upsets - gas, bloating, diarrhea, constipation, cramps ** skin rashes ** brain fog ** fatigue/lethargy ** anxiety/depression (big one) ** headaches ** lower back pain - yep you may not need adjustments so often! ** sleep issues ** and many many many more Most recently I’ve been fighting with a pain in my bladder and lower back.

02.01.2022 Lovely weekend in the sunshine! Excited about my first lot of home grown beetroot, roasted and made into hummus Whilst waiting for them to roast, I made up some chia pudding for the week. ... As I always say, preparation is key to a healthy week of eating

02.01.2022 What are you grateful for? Now is the time to remember what we are grateful for. As we move further into this pandemic sadness, anger and lots of other emotions can be experienced. As we go through these emotions it’s really important to remember what we are grateful for, it has certainly helped me this week.... So tonight (and each night) before you go to sleep think about 3 things that you have been grateful for, it will make for a brighter tomorrow Today 3 things I was grateful for: * Telephones so I can talk to my children * The sun shining so I could be in the garden *. That I have animals to cuddle

02.01.2022 Update on Consultstions At this stage it is the advice of my Association that face to face consultstions will not take place until we are in Stage 1 or below.

01.01.2022 Hormones Yes they can make you feel all kinds of crazy! At the start of the year, just before covid arrived, I finished a specialised course in hormone and adrenal health, which also allows me to do specialised lab testing.... It was amazing and I’m so excited to be able to share my knowledge with my clients. Over the next few weeks I’ll write about some important functions, or more commonly now days, dysfunctions that our hormones are responsible for! Some of the dysfunctions I’ve been working with clients on, or am wanting to work with clients on, are: ** adrenal dysfunction (stress, blood sugar etc) ** peri menopause (5-7 years before menopause) ** menopause and post menopause ** PCOS (Poly Cystic Ovary Syndrome) ** Endometriosis ** Fertility issues If you have, or suspect, any of the above, and are finding the symptoms difficult, please reach out, I’d love to help support your body and to navigate these issues holistically. There ARE other options than being medicated with fake hormones and pharmaceuticals, and I’d love to help We aim for happy hormones

01.01.2022 New Year Resolutions Have you made any yet? Or more importantly started implementing one? Mine is a biggy this year. I’d like to go the whole year with no alcohol. Say WHAAAAAAT!!!... Yup, I’m putting myself out there to you all. I do love a wine when I’m out with my buddies, sometimes 2,3 or 4, but for me it is very inflammatory and takes me days and days to repair and I would LOVE to cut it out for good But can I stay strong.... Alcohol is one of those things that people have their own opinions on (I’ve been one ) and think that there must be something wrong with you if you don’t drink and that you can’t be fun to go out with It is my goal this year is to prove that conception wrong (mainly for myself) and that I can be a fun human even when not drinking I’d love to have some New Years resolution buddies to support in our goals for 2021 no matter what they are If you have a goal for the year and would love some support please reach out, I’d love to hear from you
