19.01.2022 Forgiveness Therapy supporting us to heal. Reducing cortisol, adrenalin, noradrenaline and stress hormones. The medical community are starting to recognise this through the study of emotions and hormones produced in states of stress.

17.01.2022 Stress is the single, often silent obstacle to our health. Many of us are unaware that the root of our persistent health problems is a long-term overactive stress response. . Continuous elevation of cortisol hormone, often called the fight or flight chemical, may lead to imbalances in thyroid, adrenal and reproductive hormones decreasing our immune function. . Healthy cortisol release has a curve throughout the day. - Higher morning on waking (helping us wakeup), lower a...t night for sleep alongside GABA/melatonin & serotonin. . Constant exposure to high cortisol results in desensitisation of cortisol receptors a condition known as cortisol resistance, resulting in impaired serotonin (our sleep-wake neurotransmitter) and noradrenaline production. Predisposing us to insomnia, emotional instability, depression and/or anxiety. . What can help? Magnesium, Omega 3s & B vitamins are essential for energy and GABA production creating a sense of calmness as do Yoga, meditation and breathing exercises. . Calming herbs I love to use to reduce anxiety and modulate cortisol are; Rhodiola, Melissa, Ashwahganda, St Johns, licorice & lavandula. . Naturopathic Testing . Cortisol should have a healthy curve; higher morning, lower at nighttime. Tested via saliva or dried urine 3-4 times in 24hrs, morning-evening is best to get a snapshot of the cortisol curve. . See a herbalist/naturopath to assess for any medication interactions when using any herbal medicines. . #cortisol #stressmanagement

07.01.2022 Vitamin D required for immune function. Get it checked with your GP. Optimal level is over 100ng/mL for WELLNESS. Not just within range. Especially important if you have an autoimmune condition or are thinking of conceiving a baby. Use a sublingual spray or liquid. Especially if you are not absorbing it in tablet form or have gut / absorption issues. Get out in the sun for 15mins daily and expose your back if you can. Not just your cheeks.... and I dont mean bum cheeks! Well you may get some Vit D if you do anyway!

07.01.2022 Rest & sleep like a dog. Thank you Rexx & Roxy (aka Chungning) Sleep is one of the important things you can do for yourself when you have an infection. The body heals & detoxification occurs as we sleep after all. We also loose weight in our sleep. Your body knows inherently how to heal. Just visualise how you heal from a cut or sore. We are healing and detoxifying naturally all of the time. So if you have been staying up later, why not support yourself by getting mor...e sleep. Especially if you are unwell or coming down with something. Tip: Go to bed after a warm bath no later than 9.30pm 3 nights in a row. Your body will thank you. #sleeptherapy #immunewellness See more

What might be considered a healthy meal for one is actually unhealthy for another! - Original post Biomedica

04.01.2022 - Correct we dont need to wear them in our car, unless we are between shops. . Remember If you touch your mask it is then potentially contaminated. #donottouchyourmask .... TIP: Wear your mask between shops so you dont touch it to take it off. When you have completed your shopping you can take it off and wash (reusable) or dispose of it (disposable). . You dont need to wear your mask if you are running or exercising in an open space away from other people. Remember to breathe.... Red blood cells carry oxygen.

02.01.2022 Not surprising really - Evidence of this new study published in the journal Obesity has found that the pandemic and resulting lockdowns have led to: Increased consumption of junk food Higher rates of anxiety...
