25.01.2022 Spring has FINALLY arrivedflowers in bloom, longer days, slightly warmer breezes and that feeling of excitement for the sunny days to come. But Spring can also bring grief for more than 3 million Australianssneezing, coughing, watery eyes, itchy throat and runny nose. So why is such a fabulous time in Australia riddled with misery? In a nutshell, seasonal allergies. Seasonal allergies (or hay fever as theyre commonly called) typically occur with the onset of Spring when po...llen from blossoming trees and grasses begin to appear. While Spring is most often linked to seasonal allergies, they can occur with any change of the season and be caused by other triggers such as pet dander and even mould. If youre a sufferer, heres what happens: when youre exposed to certain pollens (thank you lovely spring breezes), your body mistakes them as a threat and activates your immune systems inflammatory response releasing things like histamine, which then triggers your symptoms. The standard mode of treatment for many is antihistamines. While this can provide relief from some of the symptoms, it doesnt really address the underlying issue. Treating seasonal allergies using a holistic framework can help resolve allergies by addressing the triggers AND the causes. Over the next few weeks, Heather Smith, Clinical Nutritionist from Nourish Nutrition and Lifestyle Coaching and Tim Howden, Paediatric and Family Naturopath from Eluvi Natural Healthcare are joining forces to share all things seasonal allergies from the underlying causes; the hidden symptoms, triggers and how to reduce your exposure. They will be sharing with you their top strategies developed over 20 years of combined clinical practice for combating and overcoming a life sentence with hay fever and allergy. Stay tuned!

Check your tea stash and consider swapping from a brand that isn't using one of those cute little plastic mesh bags. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-49845940 See more

07.01.2022 Perimenopause. There I said it. It almost seems like a dirty word. In fact, when I discuss it with clients as a possible cause for some of their symptoms, they ...often seem surprised and sometimes, dismayed. So what it is, exactly and how is it different to menopause? Perimenopause is the transition time a woman goes through in the lead up to menopause (full cessation of the menstrual cycle) and usually starts when youre in your 40s, but for some, it can be earlier. This is the time when our ovaries gradually make less oestrogen and can last months, a few years or up to 10 years for some women before they reach full menopause. The symptoms can begin subtlyrestless sleep, periods that are a few days early or later than normal, a heavier menstrual flow, worsening PMS symptoms, breast tenderness, maybe a change in your ability to lose that stubborn weightthings that can easily be dismissed or ignored for many. As perimenopause progresses and oestrogen levels drop, the changes become more noticeable and include things like hot flushes, marked fatigue, lowered sex drive, mood swings, mid-section weight gain, growth of pesky facial hair and vaginal dryness to name a few. It sounds horrendous, right? Heres the thing: it doesnt have to be. You have more control than you think. Its all about recognising it then working with your body and hormones instead of against them. The three main areas I focus on when supporting women through perimenopause (and managing my own!): What and how you eat. As our hormones change, so does our metabolism. Eating for hormone balance can make a big difference in the symptoms you experience. This is a time where you need the right balance of fibre, protein, nourishing fats and the right carbs to really support hormone production. Eating the way you did in your 20s just wont work! But it doesnt mean giving up everything you love. Again, its the balance thats important. Timing of meals can also be key in controlling the redistribution of weight we can experience (hello belly!). How you exercise. Many of my clients dont understand why that hour long run or intense gym session isnt helping them budge the weight, energise them or improve their sleep. Believe it or not, when youre going through perimenopause, your exercise regime can actually work against you. Exercises such as HiiT that focus on quick bursts for a short period can help stimulate fat burning. Strength training to support bone and muscle is also a good strategy, as dropping oestrogen affects the strength of both. I work with trained professionals to help you find the right formula to balance your hormones, boost your metabolism and get you feeling great. Youll find that working smarter, not harder, has big hormonal benefits. Your mindset. This is a biggie. Negative thought patterns create stress. Overworking creates stress. Relationship challenges that can arise in perimenopause create stress. Stress management is one of the cornerstones in balancing hormones at any life stage, but in perimenopauseits a must! An increase in stress hormones affects your hormone levels, your sleep, your digestion, your metabolism, your emotional wellbeing and quite frankly, can make this transition period hell. Establishing stress management techniques, a mindfulness practice, getting out in nature, spending time with friends, connecting with the special people in your life can all support you in through the ups and downs of perimenopause. If youre ready to make a change to embrace the change, give me a call on 1300 030 414 or send me an email on [email protected]. Alternatively, you can book online at www.feedyourbodywell.com.au You can find Heather Smith, Clinical Nutritionist at The Nourish Space Mon-Thu. Skype appointments also available.
