25.01.2022 I find the impact nutrients have during pregnancy just incredible. Low levels of maternal vitamin D during pregnancy have been associated with an elevated risk for offspring attention-deficit/ hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) the Journal of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry reports

22.01.2022 Such a crazy time of year, Ive been too busy helping others, looking after my toddler and growing a baby. Ive forgotten to look after myself. Now how can one help others if they cant help themselves? You cant!! So today is all about some RnR in the sun between prepping for mr toddlers 2nd birthday party tomorrow. And of cause some trusty nutrients to nourishing my adrenals and nervous system. some much needed vitamin B5 and magnesium. Feeling much better already. Dont forget about looking after yourself, especially all the beautiful Mumma out there. If you need help to get through this silly season PM me

21.01.2022 Had your vitamin D levels checked recently? Did you know that vitamin D levels are lower in individuals with higher levels of belly fat, the study suggests that individuals, particularly the overweight with larger waistlines should have their vitamin D levels checked, to avoid any potential health-damaging effects. But not just the overweight are at risk of vitamin D deficiency this time of year 2/3 of the Tasmania population are deficient. PM to have your levels checked

21.01.2022 As I stare out my kitchen window, frustrated that one of our many chickens and her babies are out again. I cant help but let my attention draw to the bumble bee getting nectar from the chive flowers or the yellow finch on the self sown sunflower. My vegetable patch is much like Health in general its holistic and takes many facets to work. My chicken is my pest control and manure all in one, its also a late lunch for our hen and going to enjoy eating her nutritious eggs knowing what she has been eating health organic vegetables as fresh as they come.

21.01.2022 Although evidence is lacking to support routine DHA (found in fish oil) supplementation. Only 10% of women of childbearing age (so 16-35 years old) have adequate levels, and a 2008 study estimated that by increasing maternal DHA intake by 100 mg/day could increase the child IQ by 0.13 points https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26382010 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26033362 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16242603

21.01.2022 Eek, little nervous but more so excited to be asked to speak at the first mum group since COVID. Ill be speaking about a big passion of mine mums!! In particular postpartum. There is still some spots left so if your a new mum do yourself a favor and book in

21.01.2022 sometimes my role is to remind you of the importance of simply caring for yourself so healing can begin

21.01.2022 Overuse and misuse of antibiotics are the leading causes of antimicrobial resistance. Without effective antibiotics and other antimicrobials, we will lose our ability to treat common infections like pneumonia.

20.01.2022 First talk done and dusted this morning. It felt so nice to be back talking about the things that make me buzz. Big thanks to Trish from KIDS for believing in me and my beautiful thank you candle. and of cause the beautiful mums group for having me and receiving my message Matrescence, is an unsteady time, be gentle and understanding with yourself.

17.01.2022 There is so much that can be done for depression, with new research showing that 90% of serotonin is produced in the gut and that certain strains of probiotics increase the production of this feel good Neurotransmitter. No to mention the power of herbs and nutrients in helping uplift the mood while you work on the underlying issues that has lead to your depression. If your feeling down lately book in to see me for a health check to uplift your mood before the chaotic festive season depletes you more

17.01.2022 Over the Christmas, new year period many couples expressed there fertility issues. Some publicly, some in private but it seemed every second couple surrounding me is having issues conceiving or growing a healthy baby. In the past few weeks Ive found my self frustrated because well fertility and hormones has always been my passion. I have so much help and advice to offer but without being asked Im just offering unsolicited advice. Thats when I realised that most of these pe...ople had no idea that I treat fertility issues. Whilst its been my passion well before studying, I havent made it my niche and shouted it to the world that is what I love to do, its my passion, to help couples conceive. Ive helped many couples over the years conceive and grow healthy babies and it fulfils me. So Ive decided its about time, I take the time to tell you, I love to treat fertility and hormonal issues. It is my niche. This realisation has me busy working on a pre-conception detox program that I hope to have available in the coming weeks. This program will be the building blocks to my fertility work. Its were I encourage everyone to start. This 90 day program will help you conceive quickly and grow a health baby. See more

15.01.2022 Ive recently purchased a pressure cooker (canner actually, I love canning) but anyway I was wondering what affects it has on nutrient values of my vegetables. Overall pretty good really antioxidant results and tasty. https://nutritionfacts.org//does-pressure-cooking-preserv/

14.01.2022 So you think your reacting to the food your consuming? Delayed food sensitivities can cause: Asthma Headaches Eczema... Fatigue Irritable Bowel The foods that cause these delayed reactions are often hard to diagnose because of the time between consumption and the physical reaction. Generally, an IgG reaction occurs hours to days after exposure to these food antigens. Thats where a 96 food panel test comes in. The results are patient specific and provide an easy, precise and effective starting point for dietary manipulation. #pathology #functionalmedicine #foodallergy #foodsensitivity #allergy

12.01.2022 Signs your burned out and need help to get back on track

12.01.2022 I love watching our chickens but I really love watching the Mumma chickens with there chicks . Its an adorable site. This year we had 3 broodie hens. Thats hens whos hormones have kicked in and all they want is chicks. The issue is we dont have a rooster, so the eggs were never going to produce chicks for them. One chick sat for so long she made herself sick. She had lost a lot of her feathers and wasnt eating or drinking much. We helped her out with some day old chi...cks, she is the happiest and looking healthier by the day now. My fertility program is coming together nicely and Im hoping to launch it soon. Whilst Im reading the latest literature to make sure its up to date and evidenced based for you. I think of my sick broodie chicken so desperate for chicks she made herself sick. It gives me the drive to keep going so you dont end up sick trying or making a family. We need to be at our prime to conceive and grow a healthy foetus. See more

12.01.2022 What you choose to eat today affects your mood tomorrow. Studies finding that choosing to eat food and vegetables not only increases your sense of well-being straight away but also leaves your more positive tomorrow. Choose to be happier tomorrow, eat food and vegetables today

11.01.2022 I definitely need to remind myself to slow down. Being healthy is more than what we eat its what we think and do too

11.01.2022 Grand Prix cancelled, cricket going ahead with no spectators, the first of many changes to come now that covid-19 is on our shores. But are you prepared? I really am baffled that toilet paper has been the first sell out, with supermarkets even needing to put in limits its a flu not gastro. But anyway. My first concern is prevention which the best way is basic commonsense with hygiene. Wash your hands people, cover your cough and stay home if your sick!! Dont risk spr...eading it!! Then my mind goes to well what if my household does come down with it. Naturally I go straight to whats the evidence say!! Vitamin D, data shows that most Tasmanians are defiant and which is vital information when we consider that vitamin D is one of our main immune defences. Its also a vitamin we want to check blood levels before supplementing. So PM for a pathology referral or see your GP and make sure your levels are adequate to fight covid-19. There is some promising data coming out of China that high dose IV vitamin C is helpful but unfortunately not accessible for us easily here in Tasmania. But stocking up on vitamin C for prevention and symptom reduction is a great start! Remember that to work out your individual vitamin C dose is work out by taking low doses regularly until you get loose stools then back it back 500mg. For most people that will be between 7000mg-10000mg. Next is traditional immune boosters and antiviral herbal mix such as YEP tea. Unfortunately we dont know enough about covid-19 to have specific herbs for the virus yet. I will keep an eye out for the evidence as it arises and keep you updated in the meantime we can only go off that its the same viral family as influenza H1N1 which makes herbs such as Andrographis and honeysuckle maybe effective. Head over to The Health Nut East Devonport for your supply or better yet if your sick make the most of there free deliveries for purchases over $20 My many concern is actually fresh produce, if we need to self isolate. Im very grateful for my vegetable garden right now but disheartened with the slow season and low stock of our preserve pantry at the moment. This leaves us looking for alternative options if need be. Like so many of you, delivery options are great but local delivery is even better! The fourways green grocer offer free deliveries so we will be supporting them if need be. This is going to hit the local economy hard so please take a moment and think about were you spend your cash

09.01.2022 I found these at the supermarket yesterday... oh my goodness yum. I've already had two packets High in protein and full of goodness. Great brain fuel. The more diet recalls I take with my clients the more I find people are not eating enough protein. so I get very excited when I find easy and yummy protein rich snacks. When we don't eat enough protein regularly we get overwhelmed and stressed easily. No one wants to be overwhelmed and stressed. It's horrible. In my end...eavors to come back to what I love doing (help my beautiful clients live healthier and happier lives) by the end of the month. I'll be making sure I'm eating good sources of protein every 3-4hours. For my beautiful clients that have contacted me recently wondering when I'll be seeing you again..the answer is soon!! Very soon Exciting things to come

08.01.2022 We didnt need a study to tell us this but anyway, here you have it...

08.01.2022 We eat a good portion of legumes (beans) as a family and I noticed a few months ago that was our biggest waste in our recycling bin was the cans from these legumes. Im unfortunately a very unorganised cook and often dont know what Im going to cook for dinner before I start, nor do I often follow a recipe so I needed the convenience that a can provides. I certainly dont have time to soak and cook beans each day. I already preserve our excess garden produce so it seemed like the right thing for our family to preserve beans. Only thing is that beans require pressure not just a water bath like most of our home grown produce. So I invested in a heller electric multi cooker that can also can. Its been great! Our family has reduced our waste, our BPA consumption and saved money. Its a win win in my option.

08.01.2022 Have you had your Vitamin D levels check recently?

08.01.2022 I adore my garden, especially this time of year. My first calendula harvest for the season today with the help of my little person. These beautiful flowers will soon be made into a potent antiseptic cream, a must have in any medicine cabinet. Its safe for even the most delicate areas in young old and those in between. Nappy rash, bedsores, scrapped knees, sunburn, even to your face to protect you from the cold windy and harsh weather we still get on this beautiful island. It speeds up healing time and reducing swelling

06.01.2022 Eek, little nervous but more so excited to be asked to speak at the first mum group since COVID. I'll be speaking about a big passion of mine mums!! In particular postpartum. There is still some spots left so if your a new mum do yourself a favor and book in

06.01.2022 Spring detox time, whos in?

05.01.2022 Two issues close to my heart health and the environment. There is a few things on the list I hadnt thought about before like where my bank invests my money and where my super is invested. I definitely need to check on that. I love that permaculture has made the list, we follow permaculture principals as a family and support local permaculture aligned companies here on the coast. Theyre limited at the moment but with more people becoming aware the market will grow https://www.lifestylemedicine.org.au//is-the-path-to-hea/

05.01.2022 The blossoms are here marking the start of spring. I adore watching the trees come alive this time of year.

So if youre ready to blossom PM me why you want a spot in the next group detox. The group detox is going to be held over 6 weeks starting 2nd October running through to the 9th November. Its broken into 4 ...sections (liver detox, environmental detox, gut re-balancing and adrenal reset). Will be held at Kudos Co-Working (154B William Street Devonport). For more information check out my website, at https://prunellawellness.wordpress.com/detox/ or PM me your query. Spaces are limited so be quick. Booking is a must. The total cost of $180 each thats $30 a session. **This is not a MLM or pyramid scheme, you wont be asked to buy into anything. This is an evidence-based detox program put together by me (Ashlee, qualified Naturopath), which can be solely diet and lifestyle based if you choose or if we decide its necessary for you, a couple of supplements to kick start your detox.**

04.01.2022 I wanted to have my pre-conception program complete and ready for you before the birth of our son but while its so close its not perfect for you just yet and our son is a week old today He is just dreamy and doing wonderfully. I will keep putting my program together for you but its going to take me a little while longer as Im sure you can understand.

04.01.2022 Our plum tree is in full force again this year. Ive been harvesting kilo beautifully sweet golden coe plums every day. They dont last long once ripe so Ive been busy removing the pips so our toddler can enjoy them, stuffing them in jars and preserving them in water. Water bathing excess fruit is becoming a lost art unfortunately. An art my beautiful Nan taught me that I enjoy. We have a dedicated cupboard for preserves. We can now enjoy our very own summer plums in the middle of winter, now thats special

04.01.2022 We have some gorgeous hibiscus growing in our garden, whilst I adore looking at them I absolutely love that a simple hibiscus tea has been clinically shown to reduce high blood pressure. As simple as a 2-3 cups per day
