25.01.2022 A timely reminder that your best defence against viruses and infections is having a strong and robust immune system! Remember our bodies are designed to WIN and kill off any microbes we come in contact with if we give our body the right conditions! Below I share with you my top 5 tips to strengthen your immune system and prevent viral infections: Tip # 1 Garlic is one of the most ancient herbs that has been used since the beginning of documented history, for both medicinal ...and culinary purposes. Garlic has a variety of beneficial effects on the immune system such as: anti microbial, anti viral and anti fungal just to name a few. Basically it induces white blood cell activity by stimulating the activity of natural killer cells which has been shown to act against viral infections. Tip # 2 Super Mushrooms Can Save You! Did you know that when it comes to the immune system, medicinal mushrooms such as cordyceps, coriolus, shiitake and reishi have superhero-like properties? Individually, each species of mushroom has demonstrated remarkable effectiveness in enhancing the immune system and can assist in resolving short-term, chronic and recurrent infections. If winter for you means multiple colds, days off work or catching yet another flu from a sick family member or colleague, embrace immune boosting Natural Medicines and let this be your season of change. Tip # 3 Regular, moderate intensity exercise can boost the immune system. This is as a result of increased circulation of immune cells throughout the body, resulting in an increase in the production of the cells that attack bacteria and viruses. After exercise the functioning of the immune system will return to normal within a few hours. However, consistent & regular exercise can increase the longevity of these immune boosting properties. When possible get outside to exercise as fresh air is a better alternative than recycled air that may be circulating inside the gym. Tip # 4 By drinking adequate amounts of water you can speed up the healing process of fighting off the cold or flu. Water helps to flush germs and viruses out of your immune system and keeps the body hydrated. During summer it is easy to drink adequate water during the day as it also acts to cool the body down, in the cooler months however we often don’t drink enough water and can become dehydrated. Tip # 5 Reduce your sugar intake, increase your veges/salads/fruit intake and take your daily immune boosting vitamins to prevent and/fight off any virus or infection! My top three are Vitamin C, Vitamin D and Zinc. As always prevention is always better than cure.
25.01.2022 Today is World Stroke Day - know the signs! For anyone that has had or knows someone who’s had a stroke will know that it can be distressing and even life changing. A stroke occurs when a blood vessel in the brain is blocked or burst. Without oxygen carried by the blood, the brain begins to die.... What are the signs of a stroke? Stroke symptoms appear quickly and suddenly, so it’s important to know the signs and act fast. Severe headache and confusion Numbness, tingling or weakness Loss of balance Vision changes Trouble speaking Loss of movement in face or limbs, especially on one side Alarmingly, a stroke occurs every nine minutes in Australia. How can you reduce your risk? Dietary and lifestyle interventions can assist you in achieving a healthy lifestyle that can lower your blood pressure, cholesterol and associated risks. If you or someone you know would like personalised support to manage your health goals, book an appointment with Marianne at www.passion4health.com.au or call the clinic on 07 3129 9350.
25.01.2022 Eating a balanced diet is vital! Avoid high calorie-meals, saturated fat, refined carbohydrates such as white bread, white rice and sugars. For a well-adjusted diet ensure your meals contain protein, healthy fats and fibre. Hydration is essential, so keep up your water intake, aiming for 2L every day! Spice up your water jug with lemon, lime, cucumber and mint leaves!
20.01.2022 Tip #2 - Get Moving and Sweat it out! Exercise rids your body of toxin build up through sweat! Aim for 20 -30 mins per day!
20.01.2022 Let’s get physical! A few months back my hubby and I started walking together at 5am each morning around our property! We started with one lap and now are upto 15 laps equating to 5 kms. For us this is the perfect way to start the day, whilst all is fresh early in the morning! Regular exercise will boost your overall health, which in turn has a positive effect on liver function. Remember, every little bit helps! Any exercise, regardless of frequency or intensity, can be of b...enefit. Start by building and committing to ONE new daily habit! What's it going to be?

16.01.2022 End of year celebrations with our awesome team We have all survived the challenging events of 2020 and look forward to a new year. I will be taking some of my own great advice and taking time out to rest and recharge over Christmas & New Year period at the beautiful Whitsundays where Eric and I will soak up some Vitamin SEA and SUNSHINE!... Thanks to all our wonderful clients for your support, well wishes and loyalty throughout 2020, we wish you good health and success in 2021. Please take note of the following clinic closure dates for Christmas this year. Closed from Wednesday, 23rd December at 6pm and re-opening on Monday, 11th January from 10am. Merry Christmas and many blessings from our team to you!
15.01.2022 With the festive season fast approaching, many of us are looking forward to many work and family dinners and lunches! This is a great time of year to catch up with loved ones and have a laugh over a cheeky glass of wine . While tasty food and fine wine put a smile on our face, it’s important to remember how these things affect our body. One very important organ to consider is your LIVER! The liver is like the body’s post office, sorting through all the junk and keeping us o...n top of our game. We will consider 3 tips over the next 3 days of how you can LOVE YOUR LIVER! Maintain a healthy weight! Yes, I know, "but it’s the HOLIDAY SEASON" you say! "Let’s indulge, I’ve been good ALL YEAR!". The affects of excess sugar and toxins on your liver can be harmful! What are some ways you can avoid overindulging this holiday? Try to bring a plate of food to gatherings that you know you'll enjoy so you’re not tempted into giving in. Swap a glass of wine for a glass of sparkling water. When shopping, avoid going on an empty stomach, so you’re not shopping hungry and tempted to buy extra goodies.
11.01.2022 Are you doing all the "right" things but still unable to shift that weight? It's no secret that as you age your hormones change which often leads to weight gain and stubborn weight loss, however it doesn't have to be this way! The secret to shifting that unwanted and stubborn weight is to clear your "hormonal clog" and reset your set point.... Let's liken your body to a sink! When a sink is working properly, more water poured in just means more water drains out! The water level will rise temporarily but the sink will automatically take care of that. You see, the sink is in the business of balancing water in and out at a low level set point. However if the sink is clogged the water will build up in the sink and the level will keep rising much like our fat stores in the body! The same goes when our body is "clogged" no matter how little you eat the fat stores will continue to rise until you clear the "clog" and permanently solve the problem. A healthy and balanced body will always do its best to keep excess fat from sticking around! Water builds up in sinks and fat in our bodies only when they become clogged! Are you ready to unclog the your hormonal sink and come on a journey with me over the next 4 to 6 weeks? You can choose to work with me face to face in the clinic or via online with my two signature programs that are both aimed at clearing the clog and helping you learn how to eat the right foods to help you achieve this!
