25.01.2022 Inflammation today means brain shrinkage tomorrow! Research now confirms that the process of inflammation is what underlies neurodegenerative conditions such as Alzheimers, Parkinsons disease, Multiple Sclerosis, diabetes, heart disease, cancer and many more. In terms of lifestyle choices we have the ability to make wiser decisions, to prevent inflammatory responses that lead to the shrinkage our memory centre (hippocampus). Easy changes include reducing sugar & processed ...foods, eliminating bad vegetable oils (sunflower, corn oil), increasing healthful fats (coconut oil, olive oil, nuts & seeds, avocado, salmon) and increasing fibre-rich foods (flaxseed, chia). To reduce your risk of inflammation & a failing memory, make these foods part of your everyday life.

25.01.2022 Emma, a recent happy client, tells her story ... "I went to see Merridy last year with a huge range of symptoms including constipation, reflux, food intolerances and pain. She ordered some tests and I was diagnosed with SIBO. After a comprehensive program of supplements and diet all of my symptoms have gone. Merridy was available for my many questions by phone and email and I felt finally like someone understood. Merridy clearly knows her stuff and I would not hesitate to recommend her to others." ... Im just so happy I can help!

24.01.2022 I am often asked to explain what a Naturopath does. My profession views the body as one unique integrated system. Naturopaths look at the way all of the systems work together instead of isolating single organs and treating them as individual units. Nothing in the body works in isolation, everything is connected. As a practitioner I try to identify the cause(s) of symptoms and to correct imbalances and find long-lasting healing that supports the entire body. My treatments are... all fully customised. Dietary requirements are an important part of any treatment, but of equal importance is managing stress, appropriate exercise, prioritising change and improving sleep. ... Better health doesnt take months to achieve, it can begin to improve in days.

24.01.2022 Whats keeping you up at night? Why are you waking at 2am every night and cant go back to sleep? Why dont you want to get out of bed in the morning? ...

I recently introduced this program to a number of my clients who are now experiencing the benefits of a refreshing sleep and greater energy than ...they have had in years. Get on board now, call me!

22.01.2022 This is why I love my job .... "My reason for seeing Merridy was to lose 3 or 4 kg and learn to maintain my weight. I lost 6 kg and 6 cm off my waist, feel fantastic and confident I will be able to maintain this weight. I am 68 and my biological age has gone from 72 to 62 in 10 weeks. I found Merridy very friendly and felt relaxed and comfortable from the first appointment. Merridy provided helpful hints along the way, and there are some lovely recipes on her website. I would highly recommend Merridys services".

20.01.2022 Don't underestimate the value of a walk in Nature. Many studies confirm the benefits of walking through a forest, along the beach or up a mountainside. Benefits include: reduced blood pressure, lower stress levels, lower levels of cortisol & adrenaline (stress hormones), lower blood sugar levels, improved sleep, improved memory & concentration and enhanced immunity. What are you waiting for? Take a walk with Mother Nature and feel better soon!

20.01.2022 Ever heard of "disconnection syndrome"? This phrase was coined by Dr David Perlmutter (author & researcher on brain health), to address the paradox of the things that are supposed to make us happy, but what they are actually leading to is negative changes in the brain. These changes impact our ability to make good decisions and we can get stuck in a cycle of loneliness, anxiety, depression, and other negative mental and emotional symptoms. Social media has contributed to this... state by lighting up a part of the brain when we receive a like. This makes us feel good and encourages us to continue to seek more positive feedback. Such is the addictive nature of social media. The good news is that we can change this behaviour with healthier lifestyle choices which include limiting the use of social media and really connecting with friends and family.

19.01.2022 Did you know that getting rid of processed and refined sugary food is the best dietary advice to fight infection, including viruses? Elevated sugar in the blood provides fuel for the virus to spread. Cut off this fuel supply. Eat more quality protein and fruit & vegetables, spices & herbs, good fats and build up your resilience. Now is a great time to re-establish better food habits, that will both benefit us now & in the future.

19.01.2022 News flash for shift workers ... !! A recent Australian research study found that by supplementing shift workers with 50mg elemental zinc daily, both the quality of sleep and time it took to fall asleep improved dramatically over a month of shift work. Check your zinc levels with a quick zinc taste test in my clinic today. This could be a simple and effective solution for you!

17.01.2022 Did you know that by increasing our muscle mass we can increase our energy levels? As we age our muscles begin to waste if they are not being worked. One of the common complaints that I hear from many clients is that their energy levels arent what they used to be. This doesnt have to be the case. If we incorporate weight bearing exercise 2-3 times a week we can rebuild and maintain our muscle mass and strength and at the same time, increase our ability to make more energy. ...When we lift weights we create more mitochondria in our cells. These are the tiny factories that make our energy from our food and oxygen. More muscle = more energy. Its never too late to prevent muscle loss, regain strength & boost energy levels again!

17.01.2022 4 out of 5 Australians are not getting enough Omega-3 fats (the good ones) in their daily diet. Are you one of them? I can now test your Omega-3 Index in my clinic, with a simple finger prick test. This is a scientifically validated test that measures the levels of good & bad fats in your blood, so that customised dietary advise can be given to improve your health. BENEFITS OF EATING GOOD FATS (salmon, nuts & seeds, coconut oil, olive oil, olives, nut butters, etc):... Reduces risk of heart disease Improves brain function Provides energy Supports cell growth Increases skin integrity Anti-ageing Improves the ability to lose weight Protects organs Required for hormone production Reduces inflammation in gut, skin, brain, etc. For the month of JUNE ONLY, the test which is normally priced at $90 will be discounted 45% to $50!

15.01.2022 The muscle cells in your body use energy, while the fat cells store energy. So by gaining muscle through strength training, you increase your bodys energy requirements. This increases your metabolic rate, which causes your body to burn more fat. .. One really good reason to get into weight bearing exercise this year!

14.01.2022 Another happy customer, makes my day ... "Merridy has been absolutely wonderful in helping me with my allergy symptoms, eczema and over all health. I have had eczema my whole life and severe allergic conjunctivitis for the past few years, with only short term relief from other medical professionals during this period. Since seeing Merridy and undertaking a low histamine diet, my eyes have improved significantly and my skin has never felt so smooth and eczema free! I highly recommend Merridy and her services."

05.01.2022 We inherit our parents genes, so does that mean we inherit their health issues as well? Good question ... our genes receive messages from the lifestyle choices we make, ie. whether we choose to eat high fibre, wholefoods rather than processed & packaged, sugary options, etc. We are not destined to succumb to the illnesses our parents & grandparents suffered. Our genes translate the messages they receive and express themselves according to our personal choices. So make healthy diet choices, develop consistent exercise habits, and practice a regular sleep routine.

05.01.2022 Is your child an asthmatic? Did you know that a recent study reveals that giving asthmatic children more dietary fibre, leads to a significant reduction of asthma attacks? This makes a lot of sense. Providing more fibre for our microbiome, results in improving the diversity of our gut bacteria. This in turn helps restore balance in the gut and improves our immune function, which is largely located in the small intestine. As a result, our immune system is less likely to respond negatively to environmental changes in temperature or high pollen levels, etc, that may trigger an asthma attack.

03.01.2022 Why is flaxseed (or linseed) so good for us? Flaxseed has featured in diets since Stone Age times, dating back to 8,000 BC. This truly is a superfood!

Try my delicious Blueberry Flax Smoothie: Place in Nutribullet: cup Blueberries, 200ml coconut water, 1 heaped Tbsp flaxmeal (ground flaxseed), 1 Tbsp cashew nut butter, 1 Tbsp Greek yoghurt. Blend & enjoy immediately!

01.01.2022 Acne, eczema, psoriasis and other skin issues cannot be healed by topical applications alone. Skin is healed from the inside out. In other words, when skin issues arise we need to address the state of the gut, which contributes greatly to the condition of the skin. 3 things that may impact on the health of the skin are: 1) What you are eating - there may be some food intolerances... 2) How your gut is processing & absorbing your food 3) What stresses you are under Often a food elimination diet for a period of a few weeks, will enable the gut to heal and inflammation to resolve so that the gut returns to its healthy state and can perform its proper function. The skin usually improves rapidly with this approach and extra nutritional support if needed.
