19.01.2022 There are many insidious ways environmental toxins impact our health. Thyroid function is one of them. If youre struggling with fatigue, dry skin, weight gain, constipation, depression & memory problems consider getting your thyroid tested. And importantly read Alisons guide to limiting your toxic exposure & protecting your thyroid.
17.01.2022 Thank you all you lovely people for liking my page. May we enjoy a long, beautiful and healthtastic journey together
17.01.2022 These are the boys in my life. Aren't they lovely? I try hard to keep them healthy but I just want to set expectations that even Naturopaths aren't always living it perfect. Sometimes it pays to give in. And on this jaunt to Italy whilst I was admiring the produce, the architecture, history and the sheer peace & beauty of Tuscany; the kids revelled in the "one-gelato-a-day" diet.
15.01.2022 Didn't really want to make my first naturopathic post about crap food for kids but I was so totally shocked yesterday seeing all these junk-filled lunchboxes in two Melbourne schools. https://www.abc.net.au//school-lunch-box-photogra/10759890. I do get it - the morning lunch-box dilemma is grim & it drives me nuts. But in feeding kids this kind of rubbish every day at school we are depriving them of the vital nutrients they need to be healthy - (both physically & mentally...) & we're laying the foundations for obesity. This is mega scary. 1 in 6 of us have changes to the FTO gene, (the fat mass and obesity related gene) making us 50% more likely to become obese. Highly processed, high- (bad)fat, high-sugar food increases the risk of switching these genes on; the risk of inflaming our kids' developing brains (the hypothalamus) is greater, and with an inflamed brain comes an out-of-control appetite as our hunger and satiety signalling goes haywire... The high calorific nature of these foods may also drive addictive-like eating patterns in kids just as they do in adults as they start to seek out the dopamine rush ie "reward" for choosing calorie density (in the days of food scarcity this mechanism kept us alive). If you read this far - thank you. I'd like us to get together to do our bit to Wage a War on school lunch-box junk. Join me in pledging a weekly home lunch-box prep fest! 1-2 hours every weekend is all it'll take & do it with the kids too & let them revel in the delight of their creations! We can wean our kids off and keep them healthy by encouraging them to JERF! - JUST EAT REAL FOOD. It doesn't thave to be complicated. It just has to be real, home cooked food. I will follow this post with a couple of tried and tested recipes to get you started. Make your pledge below and please submit any other ideas you have to make the school lunch-box prep easier and healthier for our kids. #wagewaronjunk #healthylunchbox #sydneynaturopath
12.01.2022 Despite the National Health and Medical Research Council - NHMRC claiming "no clear evidence" could be found for Naturopathy, a new world-first study just publi...shed by Southern Cross University researchers demonstrates the effectiveness of Naturopathy in a wide range of chronic conditions. . My group did the review the NHMRC should have undertaken. As the peak body governing health research, they did not demonstrate that they were up to the task and should be embarrassed by what they consider evidence in this instance. In the light of strong evidence of the effectiveness of Naturopathic medicine, the decision to cut rebates based on false assumptions needs to urgently be reconsidered, said lead author Prof Stephen Myers. .

09.01.2022 I have been a very shoddy fb poster of late feeling exceedingly sorry for myself with a hideous bout of Sciatica. I'd like to recommend to anyone with nerve impingement and associated nerve pain that they hunt down a product called PEA. Palmitoylethanolamide. It's a lipid (fatty acid) made by the body that acts an an anti-inflammatory and analgesic. It is safe and is devoid of addiction potential and side effects. (Did you know chronic use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatorie...s are a major cause of poor gut health? Don't get me started on opioids). Current research studies are very positive (one showed more than 50% pain reduction) and my own experience is overwhelmingly positive. Although my dodgy disc remains as the cause (anyone recall my merciless 6 week hard-core training regimen??) I will work on repairing this under the guidance of my amazing functional chek trainer Chris Jones @ http://www.primalmovement.com.au - but the sciatic pain is now much more bearable and I am starting to live and smile again. yippee. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4631430/ See more

06.01.2022 It's International Woman's Day - woo hoo! In the post below I consider that whilst progress in bridging the gender gap we are also increasing our stress and energy gap. The scourge of the modern multitasking woman is fatigue caused by relentless stress -more hectic schedules balancing family with work, erratic diet, lack of sleep, toxic chemicals etc etc To continue to thrive in our modern world, we need to fit in some time for much needed self-TLC.
