19.01.2022 My opinion on gluten? I think gluten can be eaten in moderation by those who don’t have an intolerance to it, and those who don’t have inflammatory conditions (i.e. endometriosis). Products off the shelf that are advertised as ‘gluten free’ (such as bread) often have replacements in them to give the stretchy texture that gluten creates, which are often worse for us that gluten itself. Look at the packaging and judge for yourself.... Sourdough is often tolerated and digested easier than other breads. Why? The fermentation process breaks down some of the gluten, and that makes it more digestible, especially for people who struggle to digest gluten (except those with coeliac disease). If you find your gut doesn't react well to a certain food, it's often smart to eliminate the food while you work on gut healing by reducing inflammation, correcting microbiome imbalance and support digestive enzymes to breakdown food properly. If you've discovered any delish sourdough combinations (including fruit, herbs, seeds or anything else) please share with mee!

15.01.2022 GREEN EXERCISE is a phenomenon that researchers have been studying for some years. It has been found that exercising in nature can have health benefits beyond getting your blood pumping, particularly for people living in urban areas. Studies show that exercising in natural environments can have positive effects on self-esteem and improve your mood, and the effect is especially noticed in people with mental illnesses like depression and anxiety. Just ten minutes will be enoug...h to have an effect. All exercise can be great for your mood and mental health, regardless of where you do it. Though if you do get the chance to walk or jog in the bush, along the beach, through a park or garden, chances are you’ll feel better for taking it. Exercise in nature is not a silver bullet for the prevention or treatment of mental-health problems, but it is an approach that can and should be applied in conjunction with a nutritious diet, self-care and a team of health professionals (naturopath/psychologist/counsellor etc.).

10.01.2022 Exercising during a period of low energy can be a struggle, but moving your body regularly is incredibly important for your overall health and can actually incr...ease your energy levels. Exercising in the morning (ideally, as the sun comes up) can help lift your energy level for the rest of the day, boost your immunity, encourage a better quality sleep and decrease your need for energy dense foods (i.e chocolate and chips). If you’re not an exercise person, it’s still important to get moving. Even going for a 20-minute walk or practicing yoga poses as soon as you wake up can make a huge difference to your energy levels throughout the day.

04.01.2022 Anxiety becomes a disorder when it is irrational, excessive, persistent or attached to situations that do not warrant it. Naturopaths aim to treat the symptoms associated with anxiety, as well as investigate the root cause. There are many contributing factors to anxiety: ... Nutritional deficiencies major nutrients include zinc, B vitamins, magnesium, vitamin D and omega 3. Poor gut health - inflammation due a microbiome imbalance, food intolerance, inflammatory bowel disease, stress or inflammatory foods. Sedentary lifestyle and lack of exercise, in addition to excess digital screen time. Hormonal imbalance particularly low levels of progesterone, oestrogen and testosterone, Stimulants such as coffee, tea, chocolate, red bull and drugs. Chronic insomnia. Trauma or chronic stress. Medication particularly the pill (OCP) and weight loss medication. Skipping meals, leading to low blood sugar. Lack of oxygen often caused by shallow breathing patterns. Neurotransmitter imbalance serotonin, glutamate, GABA and adrenalin. Genetics and previous mental illness. If you have any signs or symptoms of anxiety, see your primary care provider or a mental health professional. Most mental illnesses don't improve on their own, and if untreated, a mental illness may get worse over time and cause serious problems. See more
03.01.2022 Deep belly breathing has the power to reduce anxiety and stress immediately. It increases the supply of oxygen to your brain and stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system, which sends a message to your brain to calm down and relax. I try to remind myself to do this often when things are overwhelming, and I can feel stress and anxiety building. ... It’s easy to do. Try this anytime you need to relax or relieve stress: 1. Sit or lie flat in a comfortable position. 2. Put one hand on your belly just below your ribs and the other hand on your chest. 3. Take a deep breath in through your nose, and let your belly push your hand out. Your chest should not move. 4. Breathe out through pursed lips as if you were whistling. Feel the hand on your belly go in, and use it to push all the air out. 5. Do this breathing 3 to 10 times. Take your time with each breath. 6. Notice how you feel at the end of the exercise.
