In an increasingly digital world, it makes sense that patients should be able to harness the power and accessibility of online and virtual consultations. Convenient. Hassle-free.

19.01.2022 Zinc is arguably the most important mineral. Researchers have found more than 300 enzymes that are zinc-dependant in the human body!! Zinc is vital for the grow...th and repairs of all tissues, activity of hormones and a healthy immune system (to just name a few!) The average dietary zinc intake can vary, depending on your age, sex and can even be different again if you are pregnant or breastfeeding! Food sources high in zinc include shellfish, meat, poultry, fish, legumes, eggs, nuts and seeds, and some vegetables; such as mushrooms, kale, peas and asparagus. If you suspect you aren’t reaching your dietary intake, your Metagenics Practitioner can test your zinc status using a simple zinc taste test. The test is simple and is based on the activity of a zinc-dependent enzyme in the taste buds of the tongue, how the solutions tastes determines your zinc status. Ask your Metagenics Practitioner about this zinc taste test at your next appointment, or to find a Metagenics Practitioner near you click here - https://www.metagenics.com.au/FindAPractitioner

17.01.2022 Managing stress is no easy feat. Modern life, with its seemingly endless number of commitments and responsibilities, sometimes can get the better of us. When t...he body consistently prioritises the ‘fight or flight’ response, less energy and resources are available to ‘rest and digest’. As a result, a few days of stress can affect your sleep, and start to turn into physical symptoms. You can experience exhaustion and mood changes (such as feeling irritable, snappy, anxious or withdrawn). Stress manifests itself differently, depending on the person and the circumstances. Getting to know how stress affects you is one of the first steps in creating a stress management plan that works for your needs. Working alongside a Healthcare Professional, they can tailor a plan for you which may incorporate herbal remedies, nutritional strategies, and diet and lifestyle changes. With the right stress management plan, you can feel lighter, brighter, more energised and inspired to live your life in a way that brings you joy, balance and greater resilience against stress!
