25.01.2022 LETS HEAT THINGS UP. As my clients will testify to, I urge them to have at least one Vegetarian meal per week, and what a great day/night to have this on the dinner table. Some may find it a bit spicy, but substitutions can be used, and the type of heat in the meal will depend on your taste.... Some of the ingredients can be sourced from a Good Health food Shop, Such as the Coconut Amino's. Some may opt for Jasmine white Rice, but from a Health perspective, Brown rice would be best choice. A Great winter warmer and with the Temps down Low, here is a good healthy way to warm up. You may even wish to serve with some Poppadoms for a more Authentic experience. Consulting in Cannonvale and Mackay. Booking are a must.

24.01.2022 HOW CORTISOL IS IMPACTING YOUR SLEEP. One of my first major questioning with new clients is, " How is your sleep " Invariably the answer will be , " It could be a lot better", or its Shocking!!... A few points here which are integrated. If you are waking during the night on a number of occasions and having to go to the Loo, you are quite acidic, and it means your Kidneys are Overworking. And in doing so you are loosing vital nutrients which will lead to bone degradation, muscle soreness, Endocrine dysfunction,cardio vascular disturbances. and joint pain. Vital Minerals such as Magnesium Citrate, Calcium Citrate and Sodium Citrate are being lost because your Kidneys can no longer buffer the acidity in your Urine. Too much Protein can be a indication of a very unbalanced diet, and suggests to me you are not eating enough Vegetables. So how does this impact your sleep.? well because you are acidic, and needing to have a few toilet visits during the night, your body clock goes out of sync, and on waking your body is releasing Cortisol, because your adrenals are thinking its time to get up and going, and your Melatonin production ceases. Cortisol in a Healthy person usually activates at about 6am, and lasts up to around 3pm, when it reduces and Melatonin kicks in at about 6 pm. This is start of your sleep cycle. By changing your diet and improving sleep by reducing disturbances, your sleep shall in time improve noticeably. If you are having sleep issues, on going tiredness during the day and regular toileting of a night time, its best you book a time to see me. Book for either Cannonvale or Mackay by Phoning or Messaging me on 0488783627 EFTPOS and AFTER PAY available.

24.01.2022 Can you Relate your Health and Wellbeing to a Particular area of the Body? YES YOU CAN

24.01.2022 Foods and additives, along with many food cross contaminations can cause a raft of Food Intolerances or sensitivities.

23.01.2022 IS ACNE CAUSING YOUR CHILD AGGRAVATION AND EMBARRASSMENT? This ongoing health and appearance concern has been with our younger generations, ( Mainly Males) for centuries. Its not because they have not washed or kept in check their hygiene standards,it has much more to do with Hormones, Sebaceous glands and Hair Follicles... Keratin, a protein, along with increasing Testosterone can have double trouble consequences. Keratin actually can block the skins pores and cause inflammation, and Testosterone, enlarges the pores and potentiates the development of Sebum. This scenario is not exclusive to boys. Girls can be affected just as much, and has a whole different impact on them emotionally. With so much chemicals, and additives entering our diets, these can actually increase the incidence of Testosterone development in girls, and this increasing their chances of Acne breakouts. Using Pharmaceutical Cleansers and skin conditioners really will not help long term. Even the use of Anti Biotics can have an adverse effect, so in essence, a Natural pathway will see better outcomes, with less no side effects. Diet, and beverage consumption is important, in reducing the incidence, but specific use of certain minerals and Herbal Formulas will address the issue in a more beneficial manner. The use of Tea tree Oil on the affected sites will aid in the reduction of selling and infection, as will the use of Vit A, Zinc, Vit C Selenium and a number of others. I have found Vit C and the use of some specific herbs have been Highly beneficial. If your sons and daughters are effected by Acne, or some other skin condition, Lets look at what options we can take. Book an appointment today, for either my Cannonvale or Mackay Office.

23.01.2022 CHEW DOWN ON THIS. I always remember, my Mum saying when I was a kid, , Dont Rush, Chew your food properly, and today I do what my Mum always suggested. The importance of chewing your food, is more important than ever. We all seem to live in the fast lane, and yesterday, when I was out at a Restaurant, I was gobsmacked at the way people rush their food.... Chewing your food, initiates Enzyme release in the mouth, which starts the breakdown of food, and as it passes down the digestive tract, Enzyme activity is enhanced. Without this enzyme activity at the right level, and number of distinct issues can prevail. There are also dangers involved with not chewing your food properly and that is that Choking is a more prevalent scenario than one would think. Also trying to digest the lessened masticated food, creates issues in the food transiting, and may cause extreme pain in the chest. Reduced mastication of food will result in, * Reflux and Regurgitation * Bloating * Cramping and spasms * Poor nutritional Load with reduced nutrient absorption * Undigested foods * Constipation * Increased chances of Bowel disease Work towards enjoying foods, along with reduced talking whilst eating. Take short breaks between mouthfuls, and allow yourself to enjoy the food. These tips, will also reduce the amount of food you eat. Eat slowly and enjoy your food more.

22.01.2022 IS THAT WART SPREADING? Have you, a friend or a family member been a victim of a wart? Not only a wart on your hand, leg or any other part of the body, but also a Plantar Wart, one which grows inwardly generally on the bottom of your feet.... Warts are generated by a virus and in many circumstances you can either go to your GP and have it burnt off, with a procedure, or you may go to the Pharmacy and get some "Wart Off". This may show a decreasing size of the wart, but in essence the wart is present for a number of reasons. A Virus as we no may lay dormant in the body and may raise its ugly head when it finds the environment in your body is right to rise. Dealing with a virus of any kind requires your Immune system to be strong, and your nutrient load suitable to aid in the fight of a virus. In these circumstances, there are some very good natural methods, but its should be fought from the inside.

19.01.2022 THERAPEUTIC CINNAMON!! One of the many treatments and aids I use in my practice, is Liquid Herbal Formulas. These herbs are sourced from many highly regulated sites from around the world and come to Australia after exacting testing is their raw form. They are then formulated by a couple of specific Sites in the Natural Health care Industry, one being at Warwick here in Qld. When it comes to the benefits of Therapeutic Cinnamon, it offers a number of benefits, and when mixed b...y a Western Herbal Specialist like myself, It can contribute to some fantastic out comes for some sufferer's Cinnamon in its Liquid Herbal form, will support the person who is suffering from, Poor Appetite, Infections, either topically or Orally, Upset stomach complaints, and even Diarrhoea. In this instance, I use Cinnamon in a mixture of other specific herbs to support the reduction of heightened blood sugar and support the Pancreas in the stabilisation of Insulin. I have found a number of folk also gain a great benefit form this Herb along with the support of "Gymnema" to reduce the desire for sugary foods and drinks. If you have not considered Liquid Herbal Formulas to support your health and well-being regime, come and have a chat and I can work with you to help gain health improvements.

19.01.2022 Suffering from low Energy, Fatigue, Lethargy, Brain Fog ?

18.01.2022 THAT SPRING AND SUMMER CURSE IS COMING. Living in the tropics can be a absolute ideal lifestyle, but it comes with some trappings which can really effect your respiratory and skin health. I am talking about Moulds and Mildews.... These ever present pathogens can be present all year round, but may raise their ugly presence during the humid and warmer months and their spores can have devastating impacts on those with Respiratory condition, along with significant other conditions, such as Gut and digestive distress, Skin infections, Eye and Mouth complaints, and much more. These spores( Pathogens) enter our body via breathing, touching and ingestion, and can set up a tangled web of anguish for the sufferer. The Pathogen can protect itself using a Bio Film, which aids its protection from Anti biotics, and many other Pharmaceutical medications. Many Pathogens have become resistant to Anti Biotics, and in some cases your GP may prescribe a varied course of different types of AB's, but this will also destroy good gut health, and then lead to many other possible implications. The use of some specialist Herbal essential Oils, specific herbs which are anti parasitic/Pathogen killers, have no impact or side effects, and leave no residual. Prevention is always better than cure, so in prepping your home for a possible Mould/Mildew onslaught, use Clove Oil, White Vinegar and a maybe some Thyme oil to kill off any presence of Mould or Mildew. Using Bleaches and other off the shelf supermarket type cleaners, just dont cut it, and allow the problem to return in quick time. For your Immune, Respiratory and Gut Health, along with much more, have a chat with me, Consulting at my office in Cannonvale Fitness Venue & At My office at Workspace Mackay Gordon st Mackay City Phone and book today. 0488783627 Bookings are essential.

18.01.2022 THIS IS OFTEN TAKEN TOO LIGHTLY. Disease of the Kidneys are often left unattended by so many, that increased opportunities of other diseases and implications can take hold. The Kidneys are a filtering mechanism for our body, and if in distress affects the balance of fluids and electrolytes, will impact in a number of locations and organs in the body.... Some believe that Kidney disease is generally identified by urinary tract complications/Indications, but this is not a certainty. Increases in Blood pressure, Fluid retention in certain sites, Poor sleep, increased urinary output, poor appetite are classic indicators that you have a significant problem. There are several diseases of the Kidneys and if symptoms or signs of which some of which I have described above present, Intervention is required. Our Hydration plays a significant role, BUT!!!!! Over hydration is a common issue, and effects our Electrolyte Balance, which leads to other scenario's and conditions. Drinking sugary, alcoholic beverages and unfiltered water can be harmful to our Kidney Health, as can many of these sports and energy drinks. Kidney disease is a growing concern in our population, and one just needs to visit the renal ward in Hospitals to appreciate how important our Kidneys are. Prevention and Awareness are the best Cure. Discuss your Health and Well-being with me. Consulting in Cannonvale Fitness Venue Shute Harbour Rd & At Mackay office located on Cnr of McAllister and Gordon sts Mackay City. BOOKINGS ARE ESSENTIAL PHONE;0488783627

17.01.2022 IAM STILL AMAZED !!! With diet and Hypothyroidism, I am still surprised that sufferer's of this condition, are unaware of the need to avoid certain groups of foods. With certain Vegetables and Fruits to a lesser extent, they can interfere with the Iodine function in the Thyroid, and as Iodine is imperative for good Thyroid health, some of these commonly used foods are still being consumed in normal amounts in Hypothyroid sufferer's... Key foods to avoid, are vegetables such as Cauliflower, Broccoli, Brussel Sprouts, Kale, Cabbage to name the most popular. Turnips are included here, but are a less used food here in Australia. Options can be other leafy Vege including Asian Greens, and most other vegetable types. To support your Thyroid Health, supplementation is wise, as the RDI of specialist Vitamins and Minerals is insufficient to support your Thyroid. Minerals such as Iodine, Magnesium, Zinc, and to lesser value iron are needed. Selenium is also vitally important, but overdosing is unwise as it will lead to Toxic outcomes, so self prescribing in these cases is very unwise. Remember, RDI ( Recommended Daily intake is purely a maintenance profile, Most need a Therapeutic dose, which should be supported by Professional Advice, from a Naturopath. Book your appointment Today, for my two Locations in Cannonvale or Mackay. Bookings are essential for these locations. Phone or message me on 0488783627

16.01.2022 Eczema, Asthma, and many other conditions, can be associated with some foods we eat, additives, or Natural in built constituents of foods

16.01.2022 ARE YOUR NUMBER TWO'S OFFENDING YOU? How often do you go to the Loo and have either a loose or abnormal stool or motion? You will often think, "Oh what on earth has caused that"... Many folk will have varied bowel motions and their stools can vary from very loose to a more normal motion. Accompanied with loose or poor motions, you may experience a degree of urgency, incomplete evacuation, maybe some cramping or spasms, but you also may feel rather down physically, emotionally and cognitively. There may be varied degrees of some of the above signs and symptoms, and you may even experience some degree of fatigue. What is going on maybe a condition of "LEAKY GUT". In simple terms, this is where the the gut and Intestinal walls are extremely weak and permeable, suggesting that Nutrients, waste and some time digestive fluids are leaking through the gut wall into body cavities. You will suffer from Nutrient loss, Toxicity of the Body and in many cases Nausea and a feeling of unwellness. The gut wall may also be very sensitive to food groups, which will impact you in many ways, and maybe related to a food or substance intolerance. It certainly does NOT Mean you are " Gluten or Dairy Intolerant", it means further investigation and assessments are required to address this very common trait with people. Book your appointment to address your problem with me at either my Cannonvale or Mackay Practices. Phone or message me on Phone 0488783627 Reply on Face Book or email me at [email protected] Is a 90 minute consult going to be the best thing you have done for your Health?

16.01.2022 CONSISTENCY TRUMPS MOTIVATION. We are all at some time bound by our usual methods, habits and comfort, and this leads to complacency.

15.01.2022 OH, ME Bones, Me Poor Old BONES, Do wake up, or do you often seek support for sore joints, and or suffer from Arthritic Pain? What kind of medication or supplementation are you taking?... Often we look back and remember that dairy, was always drummed into us for good Teeth and Bone health, due to then concentration of "Calcium'. Our body needs a variety of Nutrients, including Calcium, but as we age, the level of particular minerals such as Calcium, can actually potentiate other medical conditions, which we can do well without. If we are suffering from Osteoporosis, Arthritic Pain, a good variety of simple supplements will do you a lot better than taking a Calcium supplement. Bones demineralize as we age, and with Osteoporosis , we can really do with some mixed essential minerals to help support better movement and structure of our bones and joints. A Specialist Bone Mineral Matrix supplement, A Very good High potency EPA/ DHA Fish Oil Liquid ( Not Capsules) and particular grade of Magnesium such as Magnesium Citrate is a Valuable resource. e can be found in Therapeutic doses in Practitioner only supplements, which means you are getting a dose which actually aids your condition, not just a Recommended daily dose. To discuss your Health needs, and to support you with a Natural Health Care process, book an appointment with me for my Cannonvale or Mackay Practice.Bookings are a must, and I can be contacted on 0488783627 or message me.

15.01.2022 DOING IT OVER AND OVER Are you one that has a trait of wanting to do things in a specific order, or needs to do a task ongoing over and over again. This along with placing excessive pressure on yourself to get things done, but struggle with doing tasks or getting to your objective is a tough task, that you beat yourself up.... The side effects of doing this is impacting not only yourself in a negative way, but placing undue stress and anxiety on others, and particularly the ones you love. We have heard of "OCD" ( Obsessive Compulsive Disorder), but we need to define this a little. Some folk may show signs of this behaviour, but it is a habit or an ingrained attitude, but the outcomes can be very similar. Indications of OCD. Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is an anxiety disorder in which time people have recurring, unwanted thoughts, ideas or sensations (obsessions) that make them feel driven to do something repetitively (compulsions). There can also be a number of other considerations, which may related to * Fear of being contaminated by germs or dirt or contaminating others. * Fear of losing control and harming yourself or others. * Intrusive sexually explicit or violent thoughts and images. * Excessive focus on religious or moral ideas. * Fear of losing or not having things you might need If you or someone close to you displays signs that you are concerned about, seek help and support from Health Practitioners and support networks.

14.01.2022 ARE YOU PLAGUED WITH BOWEL AND DIGESTIOVE DYSFUNCTION?

14.01.2022 THERE IS A WAR WAGING INSIDE OF YOU!! Like so many of us, in our younger years, we felt we were bullet proof professing, that drinking and eating fast foods, eating on the run and drinking too much alcohol and limited exercise would not hurt us. Think again.... If YOU are 45 yrs of age or older , your are carrying that spare tyre, craving certain sweet foods, there is a damn good chance you maybe pre diabetic. 1 in 4 in the above age groups can be pre diabetic and not know it. Anytime you are eating refined foods, and especially those with refined sugars, you are experiencing a Blood sugar spike. You poor old Pancreas reacts by flooding your body with Insulin, which in turn, has your cells store sugar as fat. With age, this mechanical process can go hay wire, which in turn changes your metabolic function, with every chance of you storing more on your spare tyre. So how can you address the problem? SIMPLE, its a two step process. 1/ Acknowledge there is a problem 2/ Book an appointment with me I shall set you on a path, some of you may rebel with my process and treatment, but you will gain the results you, your family and your body require. Its not a load of supplements and mixtures, its a way of eating and working towards a new regime. Book your appointment to see me either at my Cannonvale office or at my Mackay office.

14.01.2022 HOW QUICK WILL IT TAKE? This is a question, I get asked every time I consult with a client as to what progress they will see and what they can expect from my treatment recommendations. As I always have said, Everyone is an Individual and will react differently in many facets of treatment from the next person.... Each persons metabolism, and anatomical response is varied, and some may see far quicker results, and many may find a slower response. It does not mean its not helping to get to your goal, it just needs your focus and attentions and positive outlook. I have recently had one male client who was reluctant to come and see me, but he did come, and my treatment worked far quicker than I thought it would and his family saw incredible changes with-in a week or so. Another client has been seeing me over 12 months with varying degrees of progress, but here we say, that all those little steps forward are making her better. If your condition is long to medium term, its going to take as long to bring you back to wellness, I dont have a Magic wand, or a Silver bullets, but good quality empathetic approach to your treatment and your goals. Get your assessment and treatment protocol for your Health and Well-being today. Booking is easy. Either for my Cannonvale or Mackay Practices.

13.01.2022 ARE YOU SICK OF NOT SLEEPING? I am really shocked at the amount of people I speak with who are having all sorts of troubles with gaining a good nights sleep. As those who suffer from poor sleep will often testify to, They are tired when heading to bed, but either have trouble getting to sleep, often wake during the night, toss and turn, or wake to early and cant get back to sleep.... The tales I hear, that they are prescribed, anti depressant and or sleeping tablet medication is scary.

12.01.2022 WHAT IS "YOUR" LOVE LANGUAGE? Thats a pretty open Question. When we first meet our Spouse, we , either male or female, we do what ever we can to do what pleases them and its a testing time to see if we can understand what really is their Love Language.... We test the waters with many things or goals to see what they really respond to well. The Love Language consists of either, Words of Affirmation, Acts of Service, Receiving Gifts, Quality Time, and Physical Touch. Some of these maybe multiples for one person, so you need to discover and of course maintain these messages. My wife's Love Language is " Quality Time" with each other. This Love Language also applies to our Health in so many ways. Do we know what our body wants, or do we really just do what we have always done. That could be a fatal mistake. Understanding and working with your Mind, Body and Soul, needs work and general upkeep, just like in a long term relationship, It needs work, to keep it working the way it should. Let me take the time to help you understand what "YOUR" Body Language is and I can help you improve YOUR love Language with your Body, to get the utmost from what you have.

12.01.2022 CORTISOL AND ITS RELATIONSHIP TO THE ACID-BASE BALANCE IN YOU. We all know, excess stress is not good for us, and although we need stress in our lives, the levels are vital. When we are stressed Cortisol is released,which is an natural response, but ongoing levels, ramp up the action of the Kidneys which are excreting minerals and increases the status of our Acidity.... Our body can only assimilate minerals and nutrients efficiently and effectively when our Acid/Alkaline state is balanced When our body is acidic, and I check this in almost all consultations, enzymes are impacted negatively, which in turn traps waste and toxins in a cell matrix, and will result in dysfunction and Inflammation. This will certainly impact those with bone wasting conditions, such as Osteoarthritis. Other impacts will be * Muscle wasting * Increased fracture risk * Hypertension * Insulin Resistance * Impaired cognitive function How is this scenario treated? Well its best you make an appointment and come and see me. I will review and make assessments and recommendations to retard this condition I shall be consulting in Mackay Next Week and you can book by ringing Ph 0488783627 or book for my office in Cannonvale and ring the same number.

11.01.2022 WHAT IS A "YOKE"? We have all heard of a "egg yolk" but what is a Yoke? In recent times, people are under a great deal of pressure, fear and uncertainty, and the pressures of day to day life has impacted many is so many ways. We all know someone who is struggling, in one way shape or form.... You, Yourself maybe wearing a "YOKE" of Burden, which is not of your making, or it could be. A Yoke is a Implement used by farmers years ago, which bridled two Oxen to work together to help the farmer pull his plough through soil to ready it for cultivation, and growth of new crops.Usually in a pair, one Oxen , would be an old hand at the Yoke, but the other would learn from the older more experienced one. You or someone close maybe bridled by a "YOKE", that being a heavy burden, either it be trying to deal with finances, or by social/Lifestyle implications of others expecting you to live up to their standards, or are expecting you to do more, or to satisfy their wants or desires. It may even be "FEAR" and or "ANXIETY" which has you bridled to the "YOKE". All this leads to * Insomnia * Poor eating habits * Reduce Bowel and Digestive Function * Increased Cortisol Release, leading to Chronic Fatigue * Increase Blood Pressure/Hypertension * Making poor or unfortunate decisions and so much more. Let me come to your aid and help you manage these conditions, and support you with releasing that "YOKE" of Burden.

11.01.2022 WHAT ON EARTH IS "GABA" GABA is a inhibitory Neurotransmitter which aids in a number of conditions many folk are dealing with, and particularly with poor sleep, anxiety and stressed individuals. GABA reduces the excited brain cells and allows a more relaxed and comfortable function of our brain.... NOW before you reach for your Purse or Wallet, and head down the rd to buy some, a number very important factors must be reviewed, and this is done by a Professional Naturopath. GABA and its Precursors, are primarily synthesised from glutamate via the enzyme glutamate decarboxylase (GAD) with pyridoxal phosphate (the active form of vitamin B6) as a co-factor. This process is initiated in our gut/digestive system, and is then processed via pathways to our Brain. The significantly important factor here, is that many types of foods can produced/Initiate the precursors to GABA and via sequences of synthesis, and produce the vital Neuro Transmitters, which also include, Serotonin, Dopamine and Melatonin. Before any consideration of taking any kind of treatment, a consultation and review of your Diet, current Medications/Supplements and history MUST be sort so the proper and best outcomes can be achieved. I strongly believe that food will start the process in many Health conditions, and the supplements and treatments are there as a supportive measure to begin with, Not as Crutch or Alternative to a proper and diverse diet. Look at some of my reviews and talk with friends who have seen me to help with their journey to better health and well-being. NOTHING VENTURED NOTHING GAINED.

11.01.2022 ARE YOU CONFUSED ABOUT YOUR CROHNS, IBS OR OTHER BOWEL DYSFUNCTION?

Have you heard of Carrageenan's.... It is a substance which is used in foods and drinks to thicken them and to preserve those foods and drinks. Impacts can range from Increased colon and Intestinal Inflammation, Bloating,and chances of increased development of bowel dysfunctions and diseases. Foods that can contain Carrageenans are, chocolate milk. cottage cheese. cream. ice cream. almond milk. diary alternatives, such as vegan cheeses or nondairy desserts. coconut milk. creamers. and DELI MEATS If you are looking for a process and change to your current Digestion and or Bowel dysfunction, I maybe able to present a plan to help you.

11.01.2022 GIVE US THIS DAY, OUR DAILY BREAD!!! Although a famous phrase from the book of Matthew, in the Bible, Taking your daily bread literally could be your undoing as far as gut health and symptoms of many common digestive complaints. Bread years ago is a far cry from what it is today, especially the processing of the wheat to flour.... In the processing of Flours we use in our cooking, baking and so much more, we may hear the words " Chemical Bleaching" Is this something that sits well with you. Well maybe have a closer look. The complete denaturing of many grains leaves not much as far as nutritional content, and in a number cases could be doing you harm. We are well aware of those who suffer from "Gluten Intolerance, and other associated complaints, but wheat in its own right can cause or be the crux of digestive and nutritional imbalances. All you need to do is Look at our Supermarket shelves, our Butcher shops and even the chips we buy at Take away and the fast food joints, They too, are coated with sucrose and a wheat by product to make them look Golden brown. Sauces and many favourite " Simmer " type sauces are full of wheat, as this is used as a Thickening agent. If you cant figure out why you maybe having gut issues, This Maybe one area which requires a good hard look. I have many healthy options for you and if you want to have a better food and Health Relationship, come and talk with me. Appointment available at my offices in Cannonvale and Mackay Phone today on 0488783627

11.01.2022 IS IT SIBO or A FUNGUS?? If you have been feeling off and often have a tender tummy, have an increase in passing wind, having some bowel disturbances, and a feeling of Lethargy, Fatigue, and at worst, possible brain fog and cognitive dysfunction, a great many practitioners will tend to point the finger at SIBO. SIBO, is ( Small Intestine Bacterial Overload.)... However, with out giving a extensive and comprehensive assessment, they maybe heading down the wrong track. Our Body's require a certain amount of Yeast in our bodies, but an overload displayed by a Fungal infestation in out Gut will display similar signs to SIBO, but have a number of other consequences, and in turn with this a Parasitic infestation is also likely. There are varying signs and symptoms, but a investigative process is needed, to address this condition with the right tools and weapons. If you have sort a range of options to help you with this complaint, and have not yet found a comprehensive outcome, Give me a call and lets discuss where you are at presently and we can work on a day and time for a complete consultation.

10.01.2022 IS YOUR STRESS AND ANXIETY BUILDING BARRIERS? All to regularly the news and other forms of media present issues dealing with stress and anxiety. They suggest "UMBRELLA" type prevention and treatment, but again, they miss the mark.... Everyone's scenarios and situations are different and trying to cover this issue with a blanket approach is compounding the issues. I regularly mention this Idea of mine, which came from a family long term friend, who was a very wise man. If you are constantly overthinking, and stressing or having anxiety episodes related with a situation or topic you are dealing with, Think of a really great Life experience you had, and have one word that relates to that. Then re-visit that experience as a wonderful time in your life. This breaks the Overthinking and Stress/Anxiety roundabout, if you keep that life experience at the forefront. Remember, Worry and Stress is like a Rocking Chair. Its all back and forth and takes you nowhere. If your stress and anxiety, is compounding, building barriers in your life, adding to poor sleep, bad dietary choices and angst, Come and see me, we can work on a plan to help you get off the Carousel.

10.01.2022 HAS YOUR MOOD AND ANXIETY CONDITION BEEN CORRECTLY ASSESSED? During a persons life, a number of health and well being conditions will present. The most common is stress, anxiety and mood swings. Most are attributed to life situations and can be confidently attended to, using, Natural methods, along with changing your outlook, and working on finding better social and belief strategies. However, a very common, but disguised condition, will have you getting mixed messages from a... number of Practitioners, of either Medical and or Natural Therapy backgrounds. There is a condition, which impacts a person in many ways and finding the underlying issues can lead to a discovery , not considered on the face of things. Pyrrole Disorder, also known as Pyroluria or Pyrroles, is a Metabolic condition, which will manifest as possible Mental Health condition, with associated issues such as dealing with stress, Immune health, and other metabolic issues. One of the core issues is a significant deficiency/Imbalance in vital nutrients, such as Zinc, B^, Copper and Magnesium. Pyrrole disorder will also show signs and indications of LOW HCL, Indications of SIBO, and even IBS Hair Tissue Mineral analysis is one test that can be performed, or now, Pathology can also offer insights as to the short comings in this condition. Food and substance Intolerances , associated with Leaky Gut can be a indication, and as B^ and ZINC are integral in Gut permeability, these nutrients must be reviewed. Even the Thyroid has a part to play here, with fatigue and increased chronic fatigue, or adrenal exhaustion. Even ongoing Infections and colds will be a telltale to this condition, and must be considered in the treatment process. If you are a sufferer of anything mentioned, her, a visit to me to discuss your health and well-being could be a well presented idea. Book to see me for either my Cannonvale or Mackay Practice, and lets get down to tin tacks. Book by Phoning 0488783627 EFTPOS and AFTER PAY AVAILABLE

10.01.2022 THAT BURNING SENSATION, WHAT IS IT? Over the past few weeks I have been presented with a few clients suffering from what they suggest, A really burning tongue and or mouth condition.... Its not really related to something you ate which has burnt your tongue or mouth, but can be a culmination of a number of things. Having read a bit more about it and studies which have been carried out by some well noted Medical Universities, in the USA, the first thing they suggest in relation to treating it, is WAIT FOR IT..... Anti anxiety or Anti depressants. WOW. I strongly object to that as a remedy, but what has been suggested, is there is no exact science behind it. However, on further investigations, I found that Burning Mouth and Tongue can be related to, * Hypersensitive Taste buds, due to a change in Life or stage of life * A sudden sensitivity or intolerance to a food or substance * A more realistic outcome is a deficiency in particular Nutrients. That last one ring bells with me and my clients who have suffered with this condition. Certain Nutrients such as Iron, Zinc and B complex Vitamins have engaged a return to Normality in specific trials, but these can also be detrimental, if not taken under direct prescribing from a Naturopath. The form of Iron and Zinc, is Integral , just not any old Iron or Zinc, they need to be individually addressed pending the persons other health situations.

08.01.2022 WHAT IS A "RDI" AND A "THERAPEUTIC DOSE"

08.01.2022 DEALING WITH ADVERSE CIRCUMSTANCES So many folk feel they can get through many of life struggles or barriers which are thrown up, and Yes, many get through with minimal fuss. How ever, a fair majority of the population are dealing with stressors or anxiety, which goes with them through the day and night. Its a wonder that we have so many organizations out there , such as " RUOK" and many more supportive networks which are usually at the end of the phone.... I myself went through it, and I found that talking over the phone just was not cutting the mustard, so I sort medical help, but that was my second mistake. Stress , Anxiety, Worry usually attracts a Pharmaceutical Drug, which will take much effort to get off, or wean your self off. Natural Therapy with specific dietary measures and non addictive therapeutic Practitioner Only Treatments will support many issues and help you deal with more impacts, till you can respond well and cope on a day to day basis with out treatments, and without the " Cold Turkey" side effects. I have dealt with severe depression years ago, and it was a Naturopath who got me well again, One of the reasons I studied Naturopath and became qualified.

08.01.2022 WHAT OUR HEART NEEDS. We all hear of super foods which aid in energy and superior lasting benefits for our metabolic health, but what of our poor old Heart. The amount our Heart is active during day and night is amazing, and its suggested by many scientific and specialist practitioners that our heart is not being fed what it really needs.... Yes we no doubt have read or are aware of the benefits of Fish oil, which aids in many anatomical functions, but our heart needs more. I speak to many clients about the side effects of drinking too much water, as it upsets the balance of our electrolytes, and our electrolytes are so important for many a function in our body. In conjunction with our Digestive system, we need to ensure we feed our heart certain Nutrients. These are simple and everyday Nutrients, but achieving to get the right formula is the tough one. Don't Line up a line of minerals and other elements to take, its more than likely a case you may overdose, or just get the mixture and synergy wrong. We Need a good mix and balance of minerals such as sodium, magnesium, calcium, and potassium which are critical determinants of health. If you want to care for your Heart, take stock and come and talk with me. Lets work on a suitable formulation for you Booking are a must and I can see you in Cannonvale, or Mackay.

06.01.2022 TAKING CARE OF BUSINESS!! All too often, we are called upon in our work, or for those like me operating a small business, where we need to stretch ourselves to fulfill the needs to ensure we complete a task or add extra time to a exacting project, that needs that little bit of caressing and massaging to get the task done. In my role as a Naturopath, I do just that, and on a very regular occassion, I sometimes second guess myself, to the point where it can keep me awake at ni...ght, reviewing what I have done to help people. Second guessing, or reviewing, in simple terms, is WORRY, and with worry can bring anxiety. That constant gnawing in your head and heart as to what you have done, thinking of doing, or yet to approach what you need to do can be a real drag on your sensors and internal peace. An old saying is, "Worry is like a rocking Chair" it takes you nowhere. Worry, Anxiety and pressure can have significant impacts on your health and apart from the obvious ones, we would know, the impact on major organs and bodily systems is incredible. If you are Plagued with worry or feelings of Anxiety, its generally related not only to ones circumstances, but is a sure fire sign of nutrient loss and wasting. Specific Nutrients feed our Biochemical process's in our gut, to produce and support vital Neuro Transmittors, and Hormones, Feel Good Hormones, so If you think, or a Health Practitioner suggests anti depressants, Look at what the Natural Alternative can offer.
