23.01.2022 I think this will be tomorrow's lunch. So nutritious and easy - my type of recipe. A great one to help boost your immune system, as well as use some of the dill currently taking over my garden. You can also leave the chicken out for a vego option. Let me know if you make it and what you think. Enjoy the weekend

22.01.2022 MICROBIOME & GUT HEALTH You’ve probably heard about the good bacteria living within your digestive system, and may have even thought about taking a probiotic to support them. Your microbiome is this internal community encompassing a massive 38 trillion microbes (not just bacteria). When healthy and balanced, it synthesises important vitamins you need; helps modulate and boost your immune system; assists with waste elimination (therefore supporting healthy bowel function); a...nd even influencing your mood. However, your diet and lifestyle choices can negatively impact the health of your microbiome; resulting in a reduction in both the numbers and/or diversity of the organisms within your gut. Disruption to your internal microbial community can then create an environment where pathogenic (disease causing) organisms have the opportunity to grow and prosper. This state of imbalance is termed ‘dysbiosis’, and can lead to a plethora of negative health effects, including digestive complaints, nutrient deficiencies, or maybe a compromised immune system (which can lead to allergies and/or frequent illness) these are all common outcomes when the microbiome becomes imbalanced. 5 most common diet and lifestyle factors that may negatively impact the health of your microbiome: 1. Eating a low fibre diet 2. Alcohol intake 3. Unmanaged stress 4. A sedentary lifestyle 5. Antibiotic use

19.01.2022 Calcium is a vital mineral. Most people know that dairy is a good source of calcium. But what happens when you are dairy intolerant. I often get asked by concerned patients how can they get adequate calcium from non-dairy sources. The good news is, there are many foods that can boost your daily intake. Top non-dairy sources of calcium:... Canned sardines. 1 small tin contains approx 240mg Seaweeds. Some varieties contain up to 150mg per serve Tofu is a great source with 126mg per serve Leafy greens. Broccoli contains 112mg per serve Legumes. Roughly 1 cup cooked legumes contain 132mg Almonds help boost calcium with around 75mg per serve How can you boost up your calcium intake?

19.01.2022 A nice reminder for your Sunday morning. Have a lovely day. Rebecca

18.01.2022 As a healthcare practitioner I have witnessed the many changes in people's lives throughout Melbourne restrictions and the far from normal conditions of 2020. It may feel like everything has been turned upside down. We are not living in normal times or circumstances, and some of your health complaints may be due to or exacerbated from this. Some of the main things I have noticed increasing: * Anxiety, stress, depression * Irritability, anger, frustration, fear * Insomnia *... Menstrual cycle and hormonal changes * Increased alcohol consumption * Weight gain * Fatigue and lack of motivation * High blood pressure when no previous history * Loneliness due to isolation - this is getting much worse * Headaches and migraines * Eye problems - from too much time on computers and phones * Constipation, diarrhoea and nausea * Pain * Resurfacing of previous trauma experiences * Additional and unimaginable heartache during the grieving process with the passing of a loved one * Macne and Maskma - I just made those words up for acne and eczema on the face due to wearing masks Can you add anything else to this list? So much has stopped during 2020, but health complaints are still there or worsening. If you have any health concerns please consult your qualified health care professional. Not sure where to start - reach out and I will do my best to help or put you in the right direction. Take care x Rebecca See more

18.01.2022 RESTORE HARMONY TO YOUR HORMONES Is your body out of control every month? Do you feel like your hormones are out of balance? Well, you are not alone. Everyday I see hormonal imbalances in patients, particularly the hormones associated with thyroid, ovaries and adrenals. If your hormones are out of balance you will feel the effects in some way or another. Hormones are constantly fluctuating, however if they are too high or too low, they can affect how you feel every day in bo...th mind and body. Your hormones are the alarm bells responding to a deeper issue. Even when only slightly out of balance, the effects are often noticeable. You may experience, irritability, fatigue, low libido, emotional changes, heavy or painful periods, weight gain or sugar cravings. Or you could have a hormone related condition such as Endometriosis, PolyCystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS or PCO), infertility, thyroid conditions or menopause. How many woman do you know who struggle with things like these? Natural medicine can help you. You can have happy, healthy hormones. Rebecca

11.01.2022 Hayfever started early this year. This is a good reminder of some foods that may assist you. But as my friends at Biomedica mentioned, sometimes it's just not enough. There are some great natural medicines that do not leave you feeling drowsy.

10.01.2022 You may have been taking an iron supplement for a while, but your levels are still low. This could be due to a couple of reasons. 1. Most women when they first come to see me, might already be taking an iron supplement from the chemist "FERRO....C". I rarely see that this product makes a difference to restoring adequate iron levels. Instead, it usually causes one major side effect - constipation and/or digestive discomfort.... 2. There can be a link with wheat/gluten actually blocking iron absorption. Coeliac disease and iron deficiency anaemia is a common presentation, due to mucosal damage affecting the absorption of key nutrients. 3. Never take your iron supplement with a cup of tea or coffee. The tannin in tea binds with iron, making it difficult to absorb. 4. You require Vitamin C to help with iron absorption. Too much stress, poor sleep or immune imbalances can deplete you of Vitamin C. I recommend iron supplements that contain Iron bisglycinate, as well as including other cofactors to further support absorption, utilisation and correction of deficiency states. My product of choice is also formulated to meet the needs of vegetarian and vegan patients.

05.01.2022 Allergies occur when your immune system overreacts, triggering inflammation and producing allergic symptoms which range from hay fever, digestive discomfort, eczema and asthma, to life-threatening anaphylaxis. When it comes to allergies, you might reach for the quick-fix medications to provide symptomatic relief (such as antihistamines). However, targeting the underlining drivers of allergy (particularly your gut health and function) can provide long-term benefits to increase... your tolerance to allergic triggers. Over the years I have found that patients notice the over the counter medicines such as Telfast or Zyrtec may not work as effectively or may make the feel drowsy. Believe me, I know there is nothing worse than when hayfever strikes, the watery nose, sneezing, itchy eyes. Supporting good digestive system function can address some of the underlying factors that cause your immune system to be over-reactive. So if your nose does more running during the day than what you do, discover how natural medicine can help you. Call 0404 096 801 today.

03.01.2022 Tomorrow marks the first day of Spring. For many people this is the worst time of year with hayfever symptoms. Allergies occur when your immune system overreacts, triggering inflammation and producing allergic symptoms which range from hay fever, digestive discomfort, eczema and asthma.
