12.01.2022 Chronic Disease - Weight Loss and/or Gain Having an interest in chronic disease, I have seen and heard a lot about people gaining and losing weigh whist affected by chronic disease. Many people aren’t sure why the possible extremes can occur. As such, I thought a post on this may be help some of those sufferers understand why that happens and what they can do about it. Weight gain or loss is strictly a product of calorie balance; i.e. calories in, to calories out. If the c...alories out are MORE than the calories in, you will gain weight. If the calories out are LESS than the calories out, you will lose weight. What affects these two sides of the equation is where the complexities come in. When one is chronically ill, one thing almost always ensues...and that is, we burn less calories. And this is simply because of the fact that, being unwell, means we cannot move/exercise as much. i.e. we cannot burn calories as easily. However, if we simply wound back the calories we took in, to equal those burnt, we would stay at the same weight. However unfortunately, some tend not to wind back their calorie intake, to compensate, resulting in a surplus of calories, and they put on weight. Remember Albert Einstein said many years ago, we cannot create or destroy energy. To date is theory has never been disproved! How about those that losing weight whilst chronically ill? In these cases their chronic disease/condition can mean that they either lose their appetite, or they have trouble keeping food down (stomach upset), or they have Intestinal problems that lead to mal-absorption (and therefore can‘t absorb calories). As a result, these people tend to lose weight. In short, due to the complexities of their condition they are either not taking as many calories, or the calories they take in, pass straight through them (Inflammatory Bowel Disease is a classic example of this). The good news for those that have the former scenario is that you still can lose weight (body fat); it just means it’s a little harder for you. Because you are inhibited in the ways/amount you can expend energy, it becomes more important to reduce you intake. In the future I will be looking to give seminars on Body Fat Loss generally (and other such topics) which will cover this in more detail, however, in the mean time, if you wish further discuss your own personal situation, please feel free to make an appointment. (Note, for interstate/international members here, please note that online consultations are available).

09.01.2022 Lyme Disease Protest....a good cause. This is a protest that is certainly worth attending. I know I will be... For those that can't attend, please read the text on this page. It is important that people are aware of this disease - and the difficulties Australian sufferers are having getting recognition and treatment. https://www.facebook.com//4374/permalink/449756278390465/

07.01.2022 Two good questions I received ...from Brad: Q1: Does the body metabolise 6 smaller meals more efficiently than it does 3 larger meals? Q2: Can we test/measure metabolism?... A1: This is an interesting question. The body is very efficient at metabolising all meals; it has to be to keep us in check. E.g. blood sugar must be quickly converted to energy, glycogen stores, or fat otherwise it damages our brain. The amount of energy required to metabolise the meals would be different, depending on the meal size. If we were to view the efficiency as the ability or our body to extract and absorb the nutrients (both macro and micro) out of the food we’ve eaten, then there is a probably an efficiency loss when taking in large meals as some parts of the mass of food, passing through the GI tract, may not get good exposure to the villi in the intestine and get absorbed. And would then...ahem...pass out the other end partially undigested. This is especially pertinent to those that have any kind of GI problems (IBS or IBD). A2: As for testing one’s metabolism. Yes there are ways of testing it. Scientists use what’s called a Metabolic Chamber. It is done using calorimetry. A metabolic Chamber measures direct heat output or can be used to measure respiration i.e. comparisons between one’s O2 in and ones CO2 out. There are other ways of measuring it as well. Click here for more ways. http://diabetes.niddk.nih.gov/dm/pubs/pima/adtech/adtech.htm There is a basic way of measuring it as well. We measure what we call RMR (Resting Metabolic Rate). You can calculate it manually using formulas like these http://goaskalice.columbia.edu/measuring-your-basic-metabol . There are even phone apps now that you can download that do this for you. I have one that does this and I use it all the time with my clients. It gives you a good idea of how many calories per day you metabolise (burn) at rest.

06.01.2022 This week's post is about a crippling disease called Lyme Disease. A friend of mine ,who has Lyme Disease, was interview by the Manly Daily about it. Unfortunately there are still those in the medical proffesion that don't belive Lyme (which is caused by a tick bite ) can be caught here in Australia. Here is the article... http://manly-daily.whereilive.com.au//danielles-lyme-dis/... And here is the reply I posted in the comments section. "As a Health Practitioner myself, I have met a number of people in Australia that have Lyme. And many of those have never left the country. As Health Professionals, we need to dig deep - and honestly and fairly evaluate ALL the research available to us...and encourage the respective government bodies to do the same. I am evaluating the evidence. And to me, the evidence appears to be overwhelming. As far as my research is showing, questioning whether there are people contracting Lyme here in Australia is almost akin to questioning whether Australians can catch the flu. The only difference is the prevalence."

03.01.2022 Hi all! I am excited about a new service I can provide! For all the Australian members here, Pathology Lab, Douglas Hanly Moir, have just recently given me approval to write Pathology Request Forms (PRF). I am very excited about being able to offer this service to my clients! I’ve been wanting to be able to write PRFs for my clients for a while now! This also means that, if you have difficulty convincing your Doctor to do certain tests, or if you have difficulty getting to a ...Doctor (do to location or ill-health), and are wanting to get a test done, I can now help! Douglas Hanly Moir (DHM) have sent me a Practitioners Kit c/w PRF Pad and a price list for their Basic Tests. They have also advised me that I have access to all there tests which is great news. There is a catch though. As I am not a Doctor, I do not have a Provider Number which means that the tests would be non-medicare refundable. Having said that, when I look at their price list, the costs actually seem quite reasonable. They also have a Patient Episode Initiation Fee, which is essentially the fee for collecting the sample when you go to the lab to do the test. This charge is $17.40. I also have Practitioner Testing Kits (with PRFs) for Australian Biologics and Pathlab. There is a small charge of $15 to cover my administrative time (to liaise with you about what you want tested, write the form, post it to you etc). Note, discussion about your results would not be included in this cost. So if you wish to get any testing done, please feel free to contact me on 0408 644 401, [email protected] or here, on Facebook. Take care everyone!

01.01.2022 The EPA’s Scientific Advisory Board stated in 2005 that PFOA is a likely human carcinogen. PFOA (Perfluorooctanoic Acid) is found in most non-stick cookware. My recommendation: Avoid it to reduce your cancer risk!
