25.01.2022 It is vital to uncover and resolve the root cause of weight gain. If weight gain was purely the result of eating too much, then weight loss would be as easy as eating less calories and moving more, however, this strategy rarely works for the women I see in clinic. In fact, by the time many women come to see me they are severely under-eating and still struggling to lose weight.... My preferred approach when working with women to release unwanted weight is a holistic one. We need to take all mental, emotional and physical symptoms into account and work on resolving those first. As this begins to happen, the weight drops away as a lovely bonus! Yes you will be asked to changed your diet but I will coach you to make that change in a way that is going to be easy, enjoyable and effective for you. My goal is to help you to create changes that you can sustain for life! So if you have tried every diet, if you have been eating less and less without success, reach out and contact me. I would love to help you! www.renewhealththerapies.com.au

19.01.2022 It is time to STOP glorifying rapid weight loss In my 9 years of clinical experience, I’ve seen slow & steady trump rapid results thousands of times Rapid weight loss is a sign of HIGH STRESS (or worse) & is not something to aspire to ... When stress is high or constant, the metabolism can become suppressed which leads to a gradual decrease in the amount of calories being used in a day Eventually the high stress beings to cause fat gain rather than fat loss We being to feel fatigued, foggy & unmotivated. We fall off the "wagon" then eventually begin the vicious cycle of over restriction again In order to achieve rapid weight loss we need to do something extreme. These extreme changes lead to STRESS This high stress state can feel quite good.. (I’ve been there myself) in fact it can feel SO GOOD that we get tricked into thinking we have actually made a healthy change The problem with this is the body can’t continue living in a high stress state and eventually we hit the wall For some people this takes months, even years to reach, for others it can take days or weeks What I’ve noticed is chronic dieters ability to stay in this high stress state shortens over time. They find themselves starting a diet every Monday & falling off every Wednesday or Friday at best The body just cant cope with the restriction any more & will force you to eat. This typically leads to unwarranted feelings of failure & guilt If this sounds like you, the solution is NOT another diet. It’s time to make a sustainable change. Let go of the pressure to achieve rapid results & embrace the concept of creating a lifestyle change. If you’re ready for this change, reach out to discover how I can help See more

18.01.2022 No matter what type of acne you are struggling with, uncovering and resolving the root cause is key. Towards the end of March 2020 I started developing cystic breakouts. At first the occasional spot was popping up and clearing within a few weeks, I also started to get painful lumps under the skin but I didn’t think anything of it (because for the most part, I usually have healthy skin and I simply blamed it on being stressed) By the end of April I was having 2 major breakout...s each month (around ovulation and at the start of my period). I realised I needed to change something ASAP to prevent the issue from getting worse and to avoid developing permanent scarring. As a naturopath, I often feel a self-imposed pressure to be the perfect image of health so going to work with swollen lumps all over my face felt awful! But luckily, I knew what to do to resolve the problem. As hard as it was to be honest with myself, I did a proper evaluation on my diet and lifestyle and it was clear to me what needed to change. I made diet changes, focused on balancing estrogen and progesterone, supported my liver to clear toxins which had accumulated, improved my gut health and started taking specific vitamins and minerals to support skin healing and scar reduction. Within 3 weeks I stopped having breakouts, and now, 6 or so weeks later my skin looks completely different and so much more healthy! This before photo does not do the problem justice as I only thought to take this when the breakouts started to calm down. Also, if you have every experienced cystic acne you would know that what lurks under the surface is incredibly painful and although you may not be able to see it, those tender lumps still affect your self-esteem and day to day life. When it comes to skin issues, the sooner you start to address the problem, the easier it is to treat. My improvement was rapid because I started addressing the issue within a couple of months of it developing. I did change my skin care routine but I certainly did not spend $100's on skincare products, I healed the issue from the inside out. Now that the breakouts have stopped, I must continue with the changes I have made to ensure my skin stays as healthy as possible. If you are struggling with hormonal acne or breakouts that seem to occur for no particular reason, reach out and contact me. Both myself or Charlotte would love to help. https://renew-health.as.me/

16.01.2022 Will power seems to be the thing that people think they need more of when it comes to weight loss But the thing is, most of the time, a lack of willpower is not actually the issue When I talk to patients about the style of eating they are trying to follow it is clear to see that the amount of food they are trying to eat & the rules they have around what is "allowed" is far too strict & often not right for their body.... Our bodies need a balance of carbs, healthy fats, protein & nutrients to thrive. This balance of nutrients will vary from person to person depending on their hormone health & metabolic health If you are struggling to stick to a weight loss plan then it is likely that the particular weight loss plan you are following is not for you. When working with patients I always take a detailed personal history. I want to know about your symptoms & cravings. I want to know about your lifestyle, what food you like, what food you dislike, how much time you have available to spend on preparing food & more By asking these questions we can create a plan that is easy, enjoyable & effective. A plan that will require minimal will power because it is right for your body. Instead of focussing on will power, focus on nourishing your body, focus on listening to your body and focus on providing your body with the nutrients it needs to thrive In addition to nutrition coaching and naturopathic support, hypnotherapy is a lovely way to assist you in changing your mind set around food and eating so you can begin to see food as nourishing fuel rather than a crutch or reward If you have tried every diet and failed, if you are tired of feeling hungry and struggling through restrictive plans, reach out and contact me. I would love to help you create a plan that is right for you. https://www.renewhealththerapies.com.au/

15.01.2022 As we begin to move into the new year, I'm hearing lots of talk about weight loss goals... but have you ever considered that perhaps the weight you really want to release is not on your body. Maybe this year could be the year you release the weight of stress and unresolved trauma. Maybe this is the year to release the weight of trying to please everyone else, of putting others first or trying to fulfil the expectations of others..... When we work on ourselves and begin to heal on a mental and emotional level, our behaviours naturally change. We desire to be more active, we crave foods that are light and nourishing, we feel motivated and energised and as a result, our body begins to rebalance itself and as it does we can find it easy to achieve a healthy weight. If this sounds like something you are interested in exploring, I would love to help! See more

15.01.2022 So many of my patients frequently express how much they enjoy their follow up accountability sessions because of the way it helps them to remain focused and determined on achieving their goals. According to a study developed by the Association for Training and Development (ATD) when you make a commitment to someone that you will do "it" your probability of achieving your goal increases to 65%. When you create a specific accountability appointment with some...one you are committed to your probability of achieving your goal increases to 95%. This accountability combined with my holistic approach are just a couple of the reasons why I see so many wonderful health transformations!

10.01.2022 Any thought that is passed onto the subconscious mind often enough and convincingly enough is finally accepted Robert Collier Your unconscious mind controls about 90% of your life including your thoughts, feelings, behaviours and beliefs. During hypnosis we can communicate directly with the unconscious mind. We can provide it with positive suggestions and new ways of thinking and behaving which can help you to change any area of your life.... Hypnosis is especially effective for weight loss. It can help you to: Change your thoughts and feelings about food and eating Gain control over stress eating and emotional eating Listen to the signals of your body so can eat when you are genuinely hungry and stop eating as soon as you have received what your body needs Reduce stress levels and improve sleep. In turn this will support your metabolism and impulse control Reduce your fear of missing out so you can enjoy the foods that you do without them controlling you www.renewhealththerapies.com.au

10.01.2022 Herbs for Stress & Anxiety Over the past month I've made more herbal formulas for stress and anxiety than ever before! Custom made herbal formulas are cost effective, fast acting and completely personalised for your individual needs.... Some of my favourite go-to herbs for stress and anxiety include: Withania: This herb is a mild sedative and adaptogenic which means it helps your body and mind to cope better with stress. Withania also supports the immune system and has a positive effect on thyroid function. Skullcap: This herb is a mild sedative and nervine tonic. It is amazing for mild stress, anxiety, insomnia and PMS. This is one of my fave herbs to use to minimise the side effects that can be experienced when a client (and their Dr) decide it is time to come off there anti-depressants or anti-anxiety meds. Californian Poppy: Known for its anxiolytic, mild sedative and hypnotic properties, this herb can help to relieve emotional stress, tension headaches and sleeplessness. When choosing to use herbs it is important to seek high quality, practitioner only products. Herbs are very potent medicines and although they are "natural" they should be used with caution and only when prescribed by a naturopath and/or herbalist. If you would like to learn more about how herbs can help you, reach out to schedule an acute consultation. These consults can be held in clinic or over the phone. Herbs can be collected from the clinic (SA, Evandale) or posted to you directly.

09.01.2022 Keto is NOT for everyone A lot of the keto info found online is based on a one-size-fits-all approach. For many people (women especially) this info does not take into consideration hormone health, digestive health, carb tolerance & more. When this advice is followed blindly, many find that results are short lived or it can feel impossible to stick with a ridged plan. I work with clients who have tried keto & struggled to succeed & I've noticed a few reasons why this occurs.... Impaired Protein & Fat Digestion It's easy for our body to use carbs for energy. Many people find they feel tired, hungry & miserable on a keto plan. This can be due to low stomach acid & a lack of digestive enzymes that allows us to breakdown & absorb protein & fat for energy. When working with clients I coach them on how to improve digestive health so they can receive adequate fuel from the food they are eating. Cutting too Many Carbs Carbs are not evil. Yes eating too many carbs can be problematic for some, but less is not always better. If a plateau has been reached, cutting more carbs is not the answer & can lead to fatigue, hunger, cravings and more. When working with clients I ensure they're eating an appropriate amount of carbs for their metabolic type. It's important to include a wide variety of veg to support gut health, hormones & energy. If a plateau occurs (which is rare when following a keto plan appropriately) I work with my clients to help them support the underlying issues that may have caused the plateau. We do NOT cut more calories or carbs as this only leads to a temporary solution & another plateau is sure to occur. My goal when working with clients is to teach you how to eat intuitively so it becomes easy to maintain a healthy weight long term. Together we work to identify why certain behaviours or symptoms are occurring & then we can implement an appropriate solution.
