25.01.2022 http://IN THE CLINIC// Are you feeling like one run down Mumma? You're not alone. @torygiles.health shares with us a trend she has been seeing in her patients lately: ... "Im seeing lots of new Mums at Shift at the moment (well let's say 'all mums' not just 'new mums' as a lot of them have kids that are 1, 2 or 3 years old!), presenting with 'post-natal depletion.' They are absolutely exhausted, not getting solid sleep, not fuelling themselves with nutrient dense food, sometimes feeling anxious or down, have low motivation and NO time for themselves! We've been delving in to their lifestyle and working on implementing support and systems to help them achieve what it is they need. Whether that be preparing and eating nutrient dense food, creating space for 'me time' like yoga, pilates, getting a facial, a massage or going out with friends. Where appropriate we get them on high quality, much needed supplements to replenish their depletion, and give them a deep, restorative, calming and rebalancing acupuncture treatment. Being a Mum of 2... (almost 3 in 10 weeks), I absolutely love working with and supporting Mums. I find they get so much out of the treatments and it is just so nice being there with them on this crazy and incredible journey!" If you or a Mumma you know need a bit of this kind of TLC, contact us at the clinic. by amazing Melbourne Birth Photographer @lianebourke #tiredmum #mumsofmelbourne #acupuncture #postnataldepletion #fourthtrimester #selfcareformums See more
25.01.2022 http://SLOW DOWN// As we all ride the rollercoaster of 2020 life, sometimes our inability to control it all is overwhelming. And maybe all that we can do, all that we can ever do, is to just take a moment to slow down and appreciate the good things in the here and now. Maybe its the warmth of a cup of tea or sunshine coming through the window or cosy pyjamas. There is always something to appreciate. @lipstickndlattes ... #mentalhealth #gratitude #anxiety #depression #health #wellness #mindfulness See more

25.01.2022 http://REST AND RELAX// @yogawithgeorgia hit the nail on the head here! We often think that things like sleep, down time, rest, hydration, nourishing food etc are all "nice to have's" when in fact, our body shows us time and time again that these things are "Need to have's". "If you don't choose a day to rest and relax, your body will choose one for you." Often more than one day. At very inconvenient times. So why not just give it what it needs ... regularly, a...nd watch yourself thrive. #health #wellness #womenshealth #burnout #stress #selfcare #meditation #relaxation #adrenalfatigue #acupuncture #nutrition #naturopathy See more

24.01.2022 http://HAVE YOUR HORMONES GONE A LITTLE WILD?// Our Acupucnturist @maryanne_loving_acupuncturist says that you're not alone! "We have noticed a lot of women coming through our doors that have suddenly experienced changes in their menstrual cycle. ... Shorter or longer cycles, periods that have gone MIA, more PMS, Breast tenderness and pain than usual or heavier/lighter flows. It's no surprise really, as stress and fear can mess with our adrenal hormones and that has a cascade effect to the rest of our reproductive health, throwing our hormones and cycle out of wack. And let's face it, 2020 so far has been THE poster year for stress and fear! So, if you feel like your hormones are plotting against you, you are not alone. Lucky for you our team is here for you AND your hormones, to support you through the stress and fear and bring you back into balance." #acupuncture #hormones #pcos #endometriosis #herbalmedicine #supplements #pms #hormonalimbalance #stress See more

23.01.2022 http://RECHARGE YOURSELF// Energy in must be at least equal to energy out. And i'm not talking about calories. If you are striving to feel balanced, calm, energised and living a life of purpose, you will need to recharge your physical, mental, emotional and spiritual batteries on the regular. Step 1: Know what recharges you, know what drains the batteries (even if that's fun stuff).... Step 2: Create a plan around how you will REGULARLY implement your chosen activities. Step 3: Take action! Step 4: Do a regular inventory to see if you need to do more recharging, if you need to find new ways or if you want to change it up. Some ideas for recharging? Restorative yoga, meditation, eating a meal slowly, essential oils, massage, acupuncture, time alone ... the list is enormous!

22.01.2022 http://HOW ARE YOUR VITAMIN D LEVELS?// Nutritionist @emma_shiftnaturalmedicine talks about Vitamin D levels given our specific lifestyle changes in Melbourne at the moment. "Most Victorians will be synthesizing almost no vitamin D whilst we are in the middle of Winter and a lockdown and wearing masks when we leave our house. It is essential that you get your levels tested as soon as you can if you have not had a test in the last 3 months. Supplementing low dos...e D without knowing what your requirement is won't be a very good safeguard against deficiency. Low Vitamin D or Vitamin D deficiency can contribute to: Depression and mood changes Low energy Low immunity Muscle cramps And plenty more. Also worth noting is that there is a significant difference between deficient, suboptimal, not deficient and replete. Once you understand your levels and your requirements, it is then ideal to use specific dosing based on your blood levels. If you want help or guidance to check your vitamin D levels or any other vitamin/mineral reach out" #nutritionist #brightonnutritionist #vitamind #melbourne #lockdown #health #womenshealth #depression See more

21.01.2022 http://HORMONES NEED QUALITY SLEEP// Our Naturopath @clare_roden_naturopath talks about the link between QUALITY sleep and hormones. "Quality sleep is so important for your period health! ... Sleep helps to stabilise your stress hormone cortisol, it improves your insulin resistance and regulates the release of oestrogen, progesterone and luteinizing hormone. Aim for 8 hours of sleep a night and remember that the hours before midnight are worth double. If you have trouble sleeping, there can be some underlying causes including stress, anxiety, too much caffeine or too much exposure to blue light at night. Some patients need additional help through supplements/herbal medicine, diet and lifestyle advice to ensure quality sleep and happy hormones.

21.01.2022 http://IT'S NEVER TOO LATE TO START// A variety of unhelpful thinking styles (like perfectionism, black and white thinking etc) can mean that we might feel like it's too late to start. Too late to start eating healthy (may as well finish lockdown with a wine and cheese bang). Too late to start on that business you wanted to build (the economy has taken a huge hit and you've missed the boat). Too late to create a healthy lifestyle for your kids (you've already given them ...bad habits). But the truth is that its not too late. It's never too late.

Over the next week we will be sharing a few that we love. @torygiles.health says "When I get driving time without the kids (it isnt very often these days) I love love love listening to podcasts!

The host Lisa has some incredible guests on the show and they talk all things fertility, menstrual health, birth control, hormonal health, pregnancy and more! Goop Podcast @goop I love this now!!! Gwyneth Paltrow chats with all walks of life - CEOs to spiritual leaders, to doctors and creatives. Its all about opening up and starting new conversations and shifting ways of thinking. Seize the Yay @seize_the_yay : I love listening to Sarah Holloway in this podcast, she interviews some very inspiring people about how they are living and finding their yay in this crazy life through work, rest and play."

19.01.2022 http://STRESS & YOUR BODY// Our Naturopath @claire_roden_naturopathy on stress - "Being stressed and anxious is exhausting work. When we are stressed our body burns through Vitamin B and Magnesium (which are 2 of our primary nutrients for making energy) at a rate which is too quick for our bodies to replenish. This puts extra pressure on our whole body as its running on empty. ... Refill your body with real food that is nutrient dense and can support your body through this stressful time. A great place to start is: - Nourishing breakfasts like overnight oats with cinnamon & berries - Eating every colour of the rainbow when it comes to fruits and vegetables - Including a good source of protein with each meal (like fish, eggs, meat, lentils, legumes etc) - Drink 2 Litres of water a day (small frequent sips is best.) Addressing dietary deficiencies and supporting your nervous system through specific herbs and nutrients will support and nurture your your body and give you energy for life" Beautiful pic from @tinytine21 #naturopathy #foodasmedicine #jerf #brightonnaturopath #hamptonnaturopath #eattherainbow #mediterraneandiet See more

19.01.2022 http://MAGIC SLEEP HOURS// More on sleep from our Nutritionist @emma_shiftnaturalmedicine "Youve probably heard people say that the sleep you get before midnight is more valuable and restorative than the sleep you get after midnight, but why? Whats going on here?... The sleep you get in the first 3-4 hours of the night is where we see the most "deep sleep" (NonREM sleep 3). This type of sleep is responsible for - Physical repair & restoration - Learning - Secreting growth hormone And should make up about 15-20% of our total time asleep. The problem is, when we fall asleep after midnight, we are much less likely to reach these states of deep sleep. Even if you still get your 8hrs of sleep, for example if you sleep from 12am till 8am, you will be significantly less refreshed due to a reduction in deep sleep. A lack of deep sleep results in you waking feeling unrefreshed and, when done consistently over time, leading to stress and breakdown of the body. In light of this, I ask all of my patients to be in bed by 10pm at least 5 nights a week. Because if you dont optimise your sleep, you sure as heck cant optimise your energy, memory, weight, strength and mental health!" Need help to feel healthy again?

17.01.2022 http://IRON DEFICIENCY AFTER BIRTH// "For all the mamas to be out there who want to stay mentally well post partum, a literature review published last year showed that 8 out of 10 studies showed a higher risk for post natal depression (PND) in women who were anaemic after birth. Low ferritin in the post partum period was also associated with increased rates of PND. This is so important in our care of you after your baby is born. Now, does this mean low iron CA...USES PND? Not necessarily, but its a simple risk factor that we can remedy relatively quickly and doing so has other positive effects on physical and mental health. So how do we address this? Ask for copies of bloods taken in the hospital after birth or have pre-written pathology slips from your GP or Obstetrician so that you can get blood tests done as soon as possible after birth. Once we test, we then identify the right type and dose of supplement for you."

16.01.2022 http://BE KIND TO MOVE FORWARD// Think giving yourself a good talking to is the best way to get out of a funk? Maybe, but maybe not. Our Nutritionist @emma_shiftnaturalmedicine shares what her clients have been struggling with lately. "I have seen lots of clients fall in to bad patterns of feeling like junk, and eating junk, which makes them feel like junk. We've all been there, we all do it, and if you can't get into a bit of a slump during a pandemic then whe...n can you right?! The problem is that instead of meeting themselves with kindness, discovering what they really need (hint, its rarely a bottle of wine and a wheel of cheese) and moving forward, they slag themselves off a little, tell you how "terrible" they have been and stop moving their body. Recipe for disaster. So what do we work on? Putting structure back in their meals and their day, making sure they have snacks on hand that they love and are nourishing, identifying what they really need (more sleep, time out, exercise, self care) and creating a plan to make it happen. Tomorrow is always a brand new day so if you need help to create new strategies of nourishment, lets have a chat" #nutritionist #nutritionistbrighton #nutritionisthampton #moveyourbody #selfcompassion #mindfulselfcompassion #mindfulness #nourishyourbody See more

13.01.2022 http://SPUDS AIN'T SO BAD// "The humble potato has gotten a bad wrap in the last decade or so. I even saw an Instafamous influencer say they were a "refined carbohydrate" last year. Yikes! (spoiler alert, a potato is not, in fact, in any way redined). Potatoes are a nutritious whole food, not just "a carb" but also filled with fibre and water along with micronutrients like vitamin C, iron & potassium.... If you cook and then cool a potato, it becomes rich in something called Resistant Starch. Resistant starch is a prebiotic that your gut bugs like to gobble up and then make beautiful, anti-inflammatory compounds to stay happy and healthy. Using prebiotic foods are an important adjunct to any probiotics you might be taking. So if you love potatoes, then put them back on the menu because they can be an incredibly satisfying and healthy food" If you think you might need some healp to bust some nutrition myths and improve your gut health, book in with our Nutritionist @emma_shiftnaturalmedicine #nutritionist #resistantstarch #healthygut #guthealth #potatoes #wholefood #foodasmedicine #brightonnutritionist #whatsinseason #eatyourvegetables #carbsarenottheenemy See more

13.01.2022 http://PODCASTS MARYANNE LOVES// @maryanne_loving_acupuncturist tells us about what she has been listening to lately. "After binge watching Netflix's 'The Goop Lab' during the first lockdown I've since started to get into the podcast which the Netflix series was inspired by. ... The @Goop Podcast is hosted Gwyneth Paltrow and Goop's Chief content officer Elise Loehnen. The podcast interviews leading thinkers and culture changes around health, lifestyle and spirituality. It's all about shifting old paradigms and starting new conversations. Awesome right?! I particularly love the interview with Amy Myers 'what's making us sick' where she discusses autoimmune conditions, importance of gut health and mould toxicity. As someone who has experienced the devastating effects of toxic mould on my health and hormones this episode really spoke to me.

12.01.2022 http://RECHARGE YOURSELF// Energy in must be at least equal to energy out. And im not talking about calories. If you are striving to feel balanced, calm, energised and living a life of purpose, you will need to recharge your physical, mental, emotional and spiritual batteries on the regular. Step 1: Know what recharges you, know what drains the batteries (even if thats fun stuff).... Step 2: Create a plan around how you will REGULARLY implement your chosen activities. Step 3: Take action! Step 4: Do a regular inventory to see if you need to do more recharging, if you need to find new ways or if you want to change it up. Some ideas for recharging? Restorative yoga, meditation, eating a meal slowly, essential oils, massage, acupuncture, time alone ... the list is enormous!

10.01.2022 http://WEAR YO MASK// A few Naturopathic tips from @littlealchemy for wearing masks in Melbourne: - Choose the triple layer cotton variety (organic where possible) rather than the disposable ones - better for the environment and better for you.... The cotton ones are SO much easier to breathe through and are gentler on your skin too! Just remember to wash them very regularly in a natural chemical free laundry detergent. - Try and get some fresh air daily (in your backyard or garden). It's important that we continue to interact with our natural environment where we can! - Be mindful of how you breathe with your mask on. Aim for slow deep belly breathing. Wearing masks (especially the synthetic ones) can impact your breathing and make it more shallow which stimulates your sympathetic nervous system! - Keep smiling under that mask - it will make you feel better and others will still be able to see the happy twinkle in your eyes. #masks #staysafe #stayhome #naturopath #brightonnaturopath #holistichealth #mentalhealth #naturopathy #healthtip #instahealth #holistichealing See more

At the moment I am swinging between these three:... Fertility Friday @fertilityfriday because I am a hormone nerd and just love learning about all this stuff so much. The host Lisa has some incredible guests on the show and they talk all things fertility, menstrual health, birth control, hormonal health, pregnancy and more! Goop Podcast @goop I love this now!!! Gwyneth Paltrow chats with all walks of life - CEO's to spiritual leaders, to doctors and creatives. It's all about opening up and starting new conversations and shifting ways of thinking. Seize the Yay @seize_the_yay : I love listening to Sarah Holloway in this podcast, she interviews some very inspiring people about how they are living and finding their 'yay' in this crazy life through work, rest and play."

It has left many of us sitting in a doctors office, explaining symptoms and experiences to a confused clinician who has no formal guidance on how these things are happening to us and how they might be remedied (totally not their fault by the way - the research just isnt there) If you want to feel heard and supported by female practitioners who have years of experience working with women, helping women, get in contact If youre interested in reading more of the article - head to guardian Australia #womenshealth #brightonnutritionist #brightonnaturopath #womenarenotsmallmen #brightonacupuncturist #endo #pcos See more

One of these special ‘extra’ points is called anmian which translates to ‘peaceful sleep’. As the name suggests, this point is used for insomnia and/or dream disturbed sleep. This point is usually used in combination with various other points whose functions‘ relate to calming the mind, aiding sleep and relieving anxiety.

05.01.2022 http://IRON DEFICIENCY AFTER BIRTH// "For all the mama's to be out there who want to stay mentally well post partum, a literature review published last year showed that 8 out of 10 studies showed a higher risk for post natal depression (PND) in women who were anaemic after birth. Low ferritin in the post partum period was also associated with increased rates of PND. This is so important in our care of you after your baby is born. Now, does this mean low iron CA...USES PND? Not necessarily, but it's a simple risk factor that we can remedy relatively quickly and doing so has other positive effects on physical and mental health. So how do we address this? Ask for copies of bloods taken in the hospital after birth or have pre-written pathology slips from your GP or Obstetrician so that you can get blood tests done as soon as possible after birth. Once we test, we then identify the right type and dose of supplement for you."

04.01.2022 http://SUPERCHARGE YOUR SLEEP// Our Acupucnturist @phoebe_shiftnaturalmedicine tells us allll about how to get the good sleep rolling "I see issues surrounding sleep, whether that be a sleep-onset issue or sleep-maintenance, commonly in clinic. These unprecedented (yep, I used that word) times have seen an increase in stress, anxiety, depression and generally active minds leading to sleep disturbances.... Below are some of the strategies I talk about with my clients: 1. Limit caffeine intake - especially important for anxiety sufferers for whom I highly recommend you eliminate caffeine completely! 2. Minimise exposure to blue light (phones, iPads, computers) at night. This light suppresses melatonin production (your main sleep hormone) so it literally tricks your brain in to thinking its daytime! I recommend avoiding these devices 2 hours before bed and dimming your environment so your brain knows it's night time. 3. Deep breathing techniques, meditation, listening to meditation-type music or soundscapes before bed is a great way to calm your nervous system. 4. Magnesium is a wonderful calming mineral - great for stress, sleep, muscular tension/recovery and hormonal health. There are also some wonderful calming herbs we use in natural medicine to aid sleep. Please chat to a qualified practitoner for prescriptions of herbal medicines. 5. Oh and Acupuncture ;) As an acupuncturist I had to mention it...short of these above things not helping, reach out and find out if acupuncture may be helpful for you. Another beautiful way to calm your nervous system." #acupucnture #selfcare #sleep #insomnia #hormonalinsomnia #magnesium #hampton #brighton See more
03.01.2022 http://ITS NEVER TOO LATE TO START// A variety of unhelpful thinking styles (like perfectionism, black and white thinking etc) can mean that we might feel like its too late to start. Too late to start eating healthy (may as well finish lockdown with a wine and cheese bang). Too late to start on that business you wanted to build (the economy has taken a huge hit and youve missed the boat). Too late to create a healthy lifestyle for your kids (youve already given them ...bad habits). But the truth is that its not too late. Its never too late.

01.01.2022 http:// ISOLATION // @phoebe_shiftnaturalmedicine brings all the wisdom today "I saw this post and it made me think a lot about the forced distance everyone’s had to endure this year. It has been a truly challenging time and in clinic I’ve seen more anxiety, stress, depression and sleep disturbances than ever. ... However, in the interest of writing this post with a silver living in mind, I’ve also had lots of patients discover things about themselves, their lives, perhaps friendships or relationships, that they had not realised before now. A big one has been people realising how much they had on their plate pre-covid and how rushed, busy and stressed (different stress to lockdown stress obviously) they felt. For some people, being forced to slow down has made them realise how highly strung they’d become and running from Pilar to post every day, to very often please others. I’ve seen realisations surrounding toxic relationships, both romantic and friendship. Some people have been somewhat forced into dealing with buried emotions because slowing down has meant more time to think, reflect and work through feelings. The list goes on and I could probably write a whole blog article about this. So what has the distance from everyone made you realise? If anything? Have you thought about it? I’m not taking away from, let’s be honest, the crappy year it’s been for most people, but during tough times, sometimes it’s helpful to reflect... and hopefully there has been some silver living, however big or small." #mindfulness #isolation #lockdown #reflections #mindbody #acupuncture #womensacupuncture #womenshealth #mentalhealth See more
