22.01.2022 What Is Endometriosis? Endometriosis is a chronic, often painful condition in which the tissue that normally lines the uterus (called the endometrium) starts growing outside the uterus. The overgrowth most commonly affects the Fallopian tubes, ovaries, and pelvic lining but can also spread beyond the pelvic area. Diet recommendations Begin by eliminating foods that lead to inflammation. This includes dairy, processed foods, refined sugars, caffeine and carbohydrates. Elimina...te these foods from your diet for at least four weeks and monitor your symptoms. Also, it’s a good idea to crowd in these super beneficial anti-inflammatory foods: Green leafy vegetables Celery Beets Broccoli Blueberries Salmon Pineapple Bone broth Walnuts Coconut oil Chia seeds Flaxseeds Turmeric Ginger Bok Chow

20.01.2022 If you’re feeling stressed it may be in your genes! I am loving BioCeuticals nutrigenomics DNA testing. (https://www.bioceuticals.com.au//dna/pat/about-dna-testing) Adrenaline - the fight or flight hormone - is released in response to stressful, exciting or dangerous situations. It may be elevated in response to being attacked by a bear, or when running late to an important meeting. Luckily, the human body responds to this elevation by increasing the enzyme COMT w...hich ‘inactivates’ the hormone, supporting metabolism and breakdown in the body. Depending on the body’s unique set of genes , COMT function may be fast or slow, thereby impacting how quickly stress hormones leave the body.

16.01.2022 Just one word of caution - if taking medication always check for interactions with supplements

13.01.2022 #1 Weight loss tip and overall health tip - simple, ask yourself how much water are you drinking daily (and your kids)? If it's under 2L for adults, ask yourself how can you increase it. Is it as simple as filling up a water bottle every morning after breakfast and having it with you all day? I take a water bottle with me in the car to sip at traffic lights. Water is best sipped throughout the day. Avoid drinking lots of water with meals as it dilutes the digestive enzymes which can result in absorbing fewer nutrients from your food.

13.01.2022 Natural Nutrients to Calm Your Anxiety In addition to dietary and lifestyle interventions available, several nutrients help to calm the nervous system and nourish a stressed body and mind. Some of my favourites include:... Magnesium: When anxious, your body actively eliminates magnesium, which is a catch 22, as a magnesium deficiency actually leads to releasing more stress hormones. Ensure you have healthy levels of magnesium inhibits the stress response. When buying a magnesium supplement look for one where the form of magnesium is chelated with an amino acid. B vitamins B vitamins are integral to the health and functioning of the nervous system. They are important cofactors in the biosynthesis of neurotransmitters including GABA, dopamine and serotonin, and are required for adrenal cortex function and steroid hormone synthesis. Essential fatty acids (EFA) Disorders of mental health such as depression and other mood disorders have been associated with low intake of essential fatty acids, in particular docohexanoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) which are found in high amounts in fish oil. Studies show EPA and DHA reduce inflammation in our body which benefits our brain chemicals linked to mood. Note: always check with a natural healthcare Practitioner to ensure any natural medicines are safe to take alongside pharmaceutical medications and if suitable for you.

12.01.2022 Have you wondered why kids under 9 years don't seem to be affected as much? One theory that most experts agree on, its due to their higher levels of melatonin. Why ? melatonin reduces inflammation. Don't underestimate the importance of sleep (and routine) in our time of 'physical distancing'. This week I have listened to a number of CoVid19 talks about the science behind the virus, evidence-based studies on nutritional approaches to supporting our bodies, etc So have hope, ...people are working on an end to it all and it's not all about a vaccine ..... watch this space. So please ensure your kids (and you) are getting daytime exercise and light exposure to promote regular circadian rhythm of melatonin and help ensure higher levels at night. Also, look at your kids’ device usage before bed as the blue light emitted by screens (TV, computer, phone, etc.) suppresses melatonin levels, making it more difficult to fall asleep. Some devices have settings to minimise blue light after a certain time and there are apps like flux you can install. Some foods that naturally increase melatonin production include oats, bananas, tart cherries, walnuts, pineapple. [ smoothie on coconut water with oats, banana, sneak some walnuts as they break down and add some vitamin c rich fruits].

09.01.2022 When you hear the word collagen, what do you think? no more wrinkles? expensive creams? I bet you didn't think of bone broth! Bone broth is one of the best natural sources of collagen, which has many anti-aging effects, but more relevant in current times, it helps boost your immune system. Read more on its properties, how to make it and how to use it here: https://www.bulbosteopathy.com.au//bone-broth-the-ultimate

08.01.2022 Now for something non covid 19, why not add avocado's to your shopping list https://www.sciencedirect.com///abs/pii/S0167876019305598 socially distant regards, Marie

07.01.2022 Some yummy snack ideas now that we all had our chocolate fix.

06.01.2022 Helps support our immune system, is a water-soluble vitamin (meaning the body doesn’t store it) so we need to get it in our diets daily, strive for raw or ‘lightly cooked’, and don’t cut up too far in advance.
