24.01.2022 When it comes to energy and fatigue, there are a number of essential nutrients that are required to enhance the production of energy in the body, and reduce the effects of physical and mental fatigue. Specifically, magnesium, B vitamins and acetyl-L-carnitine all play significant roles. Fatigue impacts people profoundly and it is not uncommon to experience ‘brain fog’ or muscular aches and pains as symptoms. Nutrients such as acetyl-L-carnitine help support memory and cogniti...ve performance (particularly when under stress!) Magnesium, on the other hand, is an essential mineral that is needed by your body to help convert the food you eat into energy, it also supports muscle and nerve function. Ask your Metagenics Practitioner about these key ingredients at your next appointment!

24.01.2022 Did someone say, allergy season? The arrival of warmer weather, green leaves and fresh blossoms is normally one people look forward too, unless you suffer from allergies! One of the biggest spring allergy triggers is pollen. Trees, grasses and weeds release these tiny grains into the air to fertilise other plants. Unfortunately, for some, it triggers discomfort with a scratchy throat, itchy eyes and stuffy nose as they experience an allergic reaction. People with pollen... allergies their immune system mistakenly identifies pollen as an intruder, therefore it mounts an inappropriate response to the harmless substance and has become hyper-reactive. This causes specialised immune cells, known as mast cells, to migrate to your nose and throat, where they release histamine. This chemical triggers an explosion of inflammation, which forces foreign particles out of your body. It is the swelling and irritation that inflammation causes which leads to the miserable symptoms of hay fever. If you want to learn more about how you can avoid sneezing your way into the change of season head to our blog post - https://blog.metagenics.com.au/sneezing-your-way-into-the-/

24.01.2022 Probiotics are beneficial during each trimester of pregnancy, as the health of the health of a mothers microbiome helps determine the health of her babys microbiome, and their subsequent immune and digestive health. There are several beneficial probiotics strains that can be used to promote microbiome health during pregnancy. One of the most significant is Lactobacillus rhamnosus (LGG). When taken at a dose of 20 billion live bacteria each day, LGG has been ...shown to support healthy immune development in infants and children that leads to a reduction in eczema symptoms, such as itching and sleeplessness, as well as a reduction in certain allergies.

23.01.2022 The bacteria (and the trillions of other microorganisms) in the gut, are known collectively as the gut microbiome, the health of which is essential for immune resilience and resistance to infection. These beneficial organisms directly interact with the immune system (a large proportion of which is also housed in the gut), helping to boost the overall immune response against pathogens. In other words, a healthy microbiome helps to build immune function, whilst a compromised microbiome reduces immune resilience. Head to our blog post to read about how a microbiome test can help can reveal insights into the compounds your bacteria might be producing. https://blog.metagenics.com.au/how-a-microbiome-test-can-h/

22.01.2022 This week 3-9 August 2020 is Sleep Awareness Week. Most people have been asked at some point in their life, are you getting enough sleep? While some people can sleep consistently well, for others a good nights sleep may be a distant memory. Sleep Awareness Week draws attention to the importance of sleep as a vital component to a healthy lifestyle. Sleep can affect how well you think, react, work, learn, interact with others, heal and restore, so it is important to everyo...ne. For many people, bad habits in the lead up to bedtime, are a major contributor to a restless night. To help optimise your sleep: Reduce evening screen time as night-time exposure to blue light from digital screens is stimulating and can interfere with your brains production of melatonin. Aim to go to sleep and wake up at the same time each day, planning for 7 to 8 hours sleep. Developing a bedtime ritual helps give your body cues that it is time to slow down. Your ritual may include stretches, breathing exercises, listening to relaxing music, having a hot bath etc. If you dont fall asleep within 20 minutes of lying down, get up and perform a mundane activity until you feel sleepy. Go to bed when you feel sleepy. Ensure your bedroom is quiet and comfortable. Try to avoid taking naps throughout the day, this can reduce your sleepiness in the evening.

21.01.2022 What you consume is what fuels your body. By ensuring you are receiving the core nutritional foundation that provides healthy brain and nervous system structures, as well as brain chemistry, your Practitioner can ensure you’re getting all the nutrients you require to help you resist and healthily manage stress. An optimal diet can also reduce inflammation and oxidative stress giving you the best chance at supporting optimal mental wellbeing. Your brain and nervous syste...m need a steady supply of energy to work properly. In some cases, eating small, frequent meals may be helpful to balance blood glucose levels and therefore energy needs. Each of these meals should consist of a small amount of good quality protein, along with an unrefined carbohydrate source, such as fresh vegetables or fruit. YUM!

18.01.2022 Our bodies have an internal body clock, called a circadian rhythm. This term is used to refer to the different physical and mental changes we cycle through each day, in response to the cycles of day (light) and night (dark). When in balance, your body produces two primary hormones that govern this rhythm, knows as cortisol and melatonin. In modern day, there are many things that can interfere with the release of melatonin and cortisol in our bodies. For most of us, w...e spend a majority of our days indoors with artificial lighting, as well as using digital devices in the evenings which emit blue light and one of the other biggest triggers causing an imbalance, is stress. Stress can increase your cortisol levels, which cause you to become stimulated and awake in the evenings. While modern life can often skew our internal body clock, fear not! There are many holistic steps you can take that will help you re-calibrate your circadian cycle and set you on the path and get your sleep back on track.

17.01.2022 Eczema is a common condition this time of year, the cold and windy weather can make our skin dry up, leaving it feeling dry and cracked. However, its not just environmental triggers that can set off eczema. It can also flare up in response to stress, immune system dysfunction, and even when certain materials are worn next to the skin (such as synthetic fabrics). If you arent sure what sparks your eczema outbreaks, heres a look at just some of the triggers of eczema; Irri...tants such as soaps or detergents, including shampoo, washing-up liquid or even some moisturisers. Environmental factors such as cold and dry weather, or even more specific things like house dust mites, pet fur and pollen. Food allergens such as allergies to dairy, eggs, nuts or wheat. Hormonal changes can also affect your eczema flare-ups, some woman may find their eczema gets worse in the days before their period or during pregnancy. Even genetics can play a part, with research showing children who have 1 or both parents with atopic eczema, or who have other siblings with eczema, are more likely to develop it themselves. Looking at the list of eczema triggers, it doesnt have to be a long road of a process of elimination to find the cause. Working with a natural health Practitioner can provide you with treatments that help to look at the underlining causes, to improve gut health, regulate your immune system and reduce your reactivity.

16.01.2022 While situational stress is a normal part of life, stress management is a crucial part of maintaining physically and mentally healthy. It is important to note that long-term stress over months and years can impact your whole body. Our bodies need to maintain a balance of acidity for optimal health, as stressors build-up, the body might struggle to maintain this balance. During stressful periods our bodies may become more acidic. To manage systemic acidosis, diet must be the ...focus, however, supplementation can support the body while dietary changes are being made. Potassium citrate is an effective alkalising agent. Not only is potassium an alkalising agent, citrate is metabolised to bicarbonate in the body, which may help maintain an optimal pH in the body. Magnesium supplementation has been shown to affect all elements of the body’s reactions to stress, exerting a neuroprotective effect. As feeling stressed is certainly a part of life at times, your Natural Healthcare Practitioner can assist when choosing the right nutrients and stress-busting supplements and practices, as well as tailored advice to best suit your needs and lifestyle.

16.01.2022 With so much information and advice about what nutrients children need, there is one mineral that shouldn’t be overlooked, and that’s magnesium! Children require magnesium for an array of important things, including bone development, energy production and regulating mood. The magnesium dosage for kids may vary as per the age of the child and just like adults, stress and intensive exercise are common factors that can deplete their bodies of magnesium. The good news is that y...our children can get the RDI of magnesium by making just a few changes to their diet. The bad news is, sometimes children are fussy eaters! If you feel your child may be missing magnesium, talk to your natural healthcare Practitioner who can recommend the right magnesium supplement at the right dosage to suit your child’s needs.

Click below to take a closer look at the different types of supplemental magnesium, so you can feel confident youre choosing the best form, and not flushing your money down the toilet

13.01.2022 Your body’s production of stress hormones and neurotransmitters relies on specific nutrients, including B complex vitamins and magnesium. Deficiencies of magnesium, in particular, have been shown to increase symptoms of stress. In severe cases, magnesium deficiency may cause increased agitation and irritability, confusion, sleep disturbances, and headaches. Vitamins B2 and B3 are particularly required by the mitochondria to create molecules of energy but can become depleted i...n states of stress. However, other B vitamins like B6 and B12 also work to blunt the impact of stress on your body and modulate the production of stress hormones (e.g. cortisol). If this complementary duo is something you feel you may be lacking in, ask your Metagenics Practitioner about what products may be suitable for your needs which contain magnesium and B vitamins. You’ll be able to locate a Metagenics Practitioner in your local area via the Find a Practitioner page on our website: https://www.metagenics.com.au/FindAPractitioner in Australia, https://www.metagenics.co.nz/FindAPractitioner in New Zealand.

13.01.2022 In addition to symptomatic support, addressing gut and immune dysregulation as causative factors in allergy, allows you to build up your immune tolerance. The following treatment strategies can improve your ability to tolerate allergens and reduce allergic reactivity by addressing the underlying drivers: Restore immune balance: Allergies reflect a dysregulated immune system; a key treatment target. The medicinal mushroom reishi is effective at restoring the balance of immun...e cells (T helper 1/T helper 2) to a less allergic state. Enhance muscosal defences: Secretory immunoglobulin A (an immune factor found in mucus) helps stop allergens in their tracks, providing the first line of defence against the external environment. These actions are also enhanced by shiitake mushroom. Heal the gut: The digestive system is the bodys prime regulator of immunity, and research shows that people with allergies have greater intestinal permeability6 (which can allow allergens to pass from the gut to the systemic circulation to trigger immune reactivity). Healing the gut lining can promote a strong barrier and reduce allergy. Moderate the gut microbiome: Probiotics support a healthy gut microbiome, meanwhile having profound effects on tipping immune balance from reactivity to a state of calm. In particular, Lactobacillus rhamnosus (LGG) and Lactobacillus paracasei LP-33 help regulate the immune system and promote an anti-inflammatory environment; also reducing allergic symptoms including eye symptoms and eczema. Support detoxification: Liver detoxification aids removal of environmental toxins and food-based allergens, as well as immunologically active material from the body, reducing the intensity of the immune reaction. Working with a natural health Practitioner can provide you with treatments that help to improve your gut health, regulate your immune response and reduce your reactivity.

10.01.2022 HAVE YOUR SAY ON WIDELY AVAILABLE, HIGH QUALITY CBD BY FRIDAY 22ND MAY The Australian Senate has asked the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) to consult the public about making cannabidiol (98% pure CBD) legal to purchase. Your Health Your Choice have put together an easy submission form so you can have your say, and gain more information here - https://www.yourhealthyourchoice.com.au/tga-cbd-consultati/... The CBD in this consultation is 98% pure CBD that comes in a low dose for a medicinal effect but it does not have the psychoactive or mind-altering properties that cannabis is usually known for, because it does not have an active quantity of other compounds like THC (tetrahydrocannabinol). This means it has a very low risk of improper use. In fact, the World Health Organization has made a recommendation that this product is no longer kept under international drug control. If this issue matters to you, please have your say to the TGA by this Friday, 22 May. It is important that the TGA receive as many submissions as possible by the end of the consultation this Friday. Please share this link with your friends and family who may be interested in this important issue.

09.01.2022 What are probiotics good for? Research shows that taking live beneficial bacteria, such as probiotics, can improve microbiome health, reducing the symptoms of many health conditions and improving general health. While eating foods that naturally contain probiotics is a good start - its important to note that specific types (strains) of probiotics, at defined doses, are better suited to help manage particular health conditions. For example, the strain Lactobacillus rhamnos...us (LGG) is the worlds most extensively researched probiotic strain backed by over 1,000 research papers; there is abundant scientific literature supporting the use of LGG on its own or alongside Saccharomyces cerevisiae (boulardii) or other strains to help re-establish a healthy microbiome following antibiotic use. When choosing a probiotic, be sure to only select a product that clearly states the specific strains and doses on the label, and uses only those strains that are proven by scientific evidence to be beneficial for the specified purpose you need it for. Your healthcare practitioner can provide you with further information about specific probiotic strains, as they understand your specific health requirements.

09.01.2022 Allergies occur when your immune system overreact, triggering inflammation and producing allergic symptoms which range from hay fever, digestive discomfort, eczema and asthma, to life-threatening anaphylaxis. When it comes allergies, most of us 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 y...our tolerance to allergic triggers. 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, check out our blog post on allergies here - https://blog.metagenics.com.au/allergies-is-your-gut-the-p/

09.01.2022 If you've ever experienced a leg cramp, you'll know first-hand how quickly they can happen and how painful they can be. One of the biggest reason cramps can occur is due to magnesium deficiency. Within muscle cells, calcium works to contract muscle fibres, and magnesium triggers them to relax. If your body does not have enough magnesium, your muscles are able to contract but struggle after this to relax. This prolonged contraction then manifests as the stabbing and intense ex...perience known as a muscle cramp. Our blog post below to learn more about leg cramps, why they happen and more importantly, how to defeat them. https://blog.metagenics.com.au/leg-cramps-why-they-happen-/

08.01.2022 Lets talk about California poppy and sleep! California poppy has been traditionally used in Western herbal medicine for its pain-relieving properties and to promote sleep without the disadvantages of potential additive effects. It achieves its sleep-inducing effects by stimulating your bodys production of gamma-amino butyric acid (GABA), which is a calming neurotransmitter (brain chemical) produced by your brain, GABA sends signals among your brain cells that reduce their... activity.
